My partner and I found Beezel better than we were expecting based on reviews, so that was nice.
It's What's Inside was a lot of fun.
Aberrance says 2022 or 2024, so maybe it's new somewhere. It was a decent twisty horror attempt from Mongolia, so if you like the off the beaten path, check it out.
And it's not even the first horror movie named Director's Cut.
but it is never too early to get on the radar
Eh... We have tons of movies we can actually see, and heaps of movies we can see very soon (especially as we enter October). Movies we cannot see for a long and indeterminate time don't do any good. When hype pushes too far ahead, it's just waiting and distraction from things that actually are relevant. It's just more noise we need to filter through, and there's so much noise.
The Demon Disorder has some fun bits, though it requires When Evil Lurks levels of tolerance for nonsensical authorial hand puppeteering. Once you get past that characters just can't do anything that makes sense, it's a trip.
Too early for news about this, unless you're going to theaters in Taiwan.
It was enjoyable, but that review is waaaaay overselling it. Especially as comedy.
If you want a Korean horror comedy, try Night of the Undead (2020), but don't go in expecting zombies ;) Horror Stories 2 (2013) also had a pretty fun hor-com for one of its segments.
Yeah, but I mean, we're over 40 now, plus some shows. Such a long and random list is not really useful to anyone. Here's some season-so-far notables instead:
In a world where no one speaks
Another one? Eesh, these are always such painfully contrived and badly done conceits.
We start our horrorfest movie plowing in mid August, so the September list is quite long already. Way too many for a post per movie :(
Probably Ouija: Origin of Evil. Others we'd note in particular:

You'll Never Find Me, A Wounded Fawn, Post Mortem, and Beezel were unexpected finds. It's What's Inside was expected to be good, and was still quite fun. Luz... was notably weird but probably workable. We'll keep that around.
Strange Darling was awful. Big disappointment there, based on talk. We didn't expect much from VHS Beyond, especially with the alien theme, but one always hopes for anthologies to pull some surprises. Like most of VHS 2 and on, at least it wasn't worse.
