20 New Horror Movies You MUST Watch This Halloween 2023

13. Dear David

Suitable Flesh
Lionsgate

Not to be confused with the Netflix high school rom-com of the same name released earlier this year, Dear David is based on Adam Ellis' iconic, eponymous Twitter thread.

The story follows then-BuzzFeed employee Ellis (Augustus Prew) as he's haunted by the ghost of a demonically possessed boy, and while it remains to be seen whether or not this viral story can be successfully translated to the big screen, with Anna and the Apocalypse director John McPhail at the helm, it's easy to be optimistic.

The original Twitter thread was such a compulsive mash-up of creepy and fun, and hopefully the feature will ably recapture that vibe in full.

Dear David releases in US cinemas and on VOD now.
