20 New Horror Movies You MUST Watch This Halloween 2023
10. Appendage
Horror movies as metaphors for trauma are all the rage right now, but Anna Zlokovic's Appendage - adapted from her 2021 short film of the same name - refreshingly takes a more blackly comedic approach.
Appendage focuses on fashion designer Hannah (Hadley Robinson) as her intense feelings of self-doubt manifest into a literally monstrous creature.
It's far from a subtle concept, yet Zlokovic's tonally nimble approach manages to be both perversely amusing and genuinely persuasive as a character-driven drama, in large part due to Hadley Robinson's well-calibrated lead performance.
Anyone who's ever had to contend with the voice in their head - all of us, right? - will surely find something to identify with in this movie.
Appendage is streaming now on Hulu.
