This month, I’ve been taking part in the Letterboxd Hooptober challenge. The goal is to watch 31 horror films in October, including films that meet specific criteria such as “directed by Wes Craven” or starring a black woman.

We started the challenge late, but at the time of writing this, we’re only three films behind schedule, with a horror film festival coming up at the weekend that will give us another opportunity to catch up.

I’m posting my thoughts on each of the movies here, as and when I get time.
