10 Lesser Known Horror Movies That Are 100% Worth Your Time
9. We're All Going to the World’s Fair
We're All Going to the World’s Fair is a horror film like no other - a bewildering and challenging debut from writer-director Jane Schoenbrun, following a lonely teenage girl, Casey (Anna Cobb), who takes part in an online role-playing game with unnerving consequences.
If the setup might sound goofy, Schoenbrun evidently knows what she's doing, grounding her film less in the particulars of the maybe-supernatural happenings surrounding the game, and more in the pervasive loneliness of modern existence, where the isolated seek refuge with like-minded folk online.
Anna Cobb, in her first ever feature role, gives an astonishingly assured performance as Casey, sustaining interest even during the film's airier portions.
This is categorically a "not for everyone" horror flick due to its unconventional, even experimental nature, but if you're prepared to plunge down the rabbit-hole with Schoenbrun and Cobb, this is one of the most daring and provocative low-budget horrors of recent years.
