10 Best New Horror Movies For Halloween 2022
4. You Won't Be Alone
In You Won't Be Alone, a witch kidnaps a mute teenager called Nevena, and turns her into a shapeshifter. Upon entering society for the first time, Nevena becomes fascinated by humanity, taking the form of those she encounters to understand them better.
Based on the posters or trailers, you could easily mistake You Won't Be Alone as a rip-off of The VVitch. But after watching ten minutes, it's clear the film is its own animal. Instead of relying on outright scares, You Won't Be Alone focuses on our protagonist's yearning to connect. Since Nevena is an unspeaking changeling, it's intriguing to see multiple actresses convey her emotional journey without uttering a word.
Due to the lack of conventional terror, you can momentarily forget you're watching a brutal folk-horror, which makes the gore more hard-hitting.
However, this movie isn't for everyone. Because of the slow pace and the meandering structure, the inattentive viewer may get lost. If you're seeking something a bit more traditional, look elsewhere. But if you want a horror that's more of a character study, You Won't Be Alone will feel tailor-made for you.
