10 More Perfect Horror Movies You've Never Heard Of
10. All My Friends Hate Me (2021)
Sometimes the best horror movie is the one that keeps you guessing until the end. Far from masked slashers stalking the streets and body horror gore in every frame, British indie flick All My Friends Hate Me takes the road less travelled and sets up a psychological rollercoaster that winds the tension tight and doesn't show its hand until the final scene.
Returning from volunteering abroad in a refugee camp, Pete (Tom Stourton) reunites his misfit band of university friends to celebrate his 31st birthday on a secluded country estate. But the unwelcome presence of mysterious local Harry (Dustin Demri-Burns) shatters the group dynamic and upends the celebrations. When everything starts going wrong and his friends turn on him one by one, Pete becomes convinced there is a darker plot afoot.
Helmed by TV director Andrew Gaynord (Stath Lets Flats), the film premiered at Tribeca in 2021, and, despite being picked up by BFI for distribution, has largely flown under the radar. It saw a limited run in mid-and-late-2022, briefly championed by indie and arthouse cinemas, but largely lost in the rosters of the big out-of-town multiplexes, and has since been confined to the well-intentioned yet oft ignored archives of the BFI's own streaming service.
