Starring Anders Danielsen Lie (a brilliant Norwegian actor who can be seen this year in both Bergman Island and The Worst Person in the World) as a man who finds himself confined alone in a Paris apartment complex once the zombie apocalypse kicks off, this is a meditative slow-burn that’s far more interested in documenting his logistical dilemmas and dwindling sanity in the face of isolation than it is with jump scares. There are any number of classic zombie films we could have chosen here, but we ultimately decided to check out this French indie drama based on a friend’s recommendation, and I am very glad that we did. While we did proceed to make a few obvious choices with some later categories, in general we strove to mix things up. Let us know which of these you’ve seen, which ones you haven’t, and if you participated in this challenge, I’d love to see your list in the comments below! Without further ado: We’ve got some golden oldies, some modern classics, some that gave us nightmares, some that nearly put us to sleep, and everything in between. Shout out to the fine folks at Nightmare on Film Street for putting together a list of categories and subgenres for each day that helped us immensely with both narrowing down our selections and ensuring that our list was as diverse as possible. So we did it again.īelow, as with last time, are my mini-reviews for all 31 films we watched this year. But was it so much that we couldn’t still find time to sneak in another #31DayHorrorChallenge? Most would say yes, but then again, she and I are that special kind of crazy. In addition to that, we’ll be moving out of state shortly after that, so as you can imagine, we have significantly more going on in our lives. Kelly has been promoted from girlfriend to fiancé, and less than two weeks after this article goes up she will be my wife. Plus, we were still mostly under quarantine, so the idea of watching a movie a day was pretty reasonable to schedule around.įlash forward to this year, and we have considerably more going on. Though we had to cheat and double-up for a few of the days to get them all in, we hit our goal, and had that much greater appreciation for our favorite genre of film.
This has been going around for a few years now, and the gist of it is that you watch a different horror or horror-adjacent movie every day of October.
Last year, I made the slightly insane decision to commit to the #31DaysofHalloween challenge, along with my girlfriend Kelly.
