11 Best New Horror Movies For Halloween 2021
2. Gaia
If you’re into your Greek mythology then you’ll recognise Gaia as being the name of one of the primordial deities, the very embodiment of earth and life. That sounds nice, doesn’t it? She’s mother nature! She gives life and nourishment! Well what she giveth she can also taketh away.
This South African ecological horror appeals to every one of your fungus-focussed horror dreams. Set amongst the lush green of the woods, two forestry service workers find themselves lost and in peril amongst the flora - and the local fauna is anything but friendly.
With two survivalists joining our cast, we are introduced to horrors both supernatural and all too real. If you thought you’d never see anything as gross as the clickers in The Last of Us then I raise you this film, where you can enjoy mushroom-embossed people in all their live action glory.
There’s a very special place in my heart for supernatural, deep-forest horrors and the folklore-ish charm they give to nature. Gaia is tense, atmospheric, very aesthetically pleasing and currently receiving rave reviews from all over the globe - yours could be next.
