"Hauntology" is a wickedly clever LGBTQ+ horror anthology that'll haunt you long after the credits roll. Director Parker Brennon weaves four interconnected tales set in "one of the most haunted places in the country," serving up a supernatural smorgasbord that's equal parts chilling and thought-provoking.
Let's peek into our ghostly grab bag:
"Witchcraft Becomes Her": Julian Cashel's magical transition journey gives new meaning to "body horror." With a witchy assist from Annalisa Drouais, Julian exorcises toxic masculinity - literally!
"The Day Mabel Came Out of the Grave": Great-great-great grandma Mabel Bishop rises from the dead for a second chance at sapphic love. Who says you can't teach an old ghost new tricks?
"Paint and Black Lace": A giallo-inspired masterpiece where the deceased artist May Felner turns art thieves into, well, art. It is, if you will, a killer aesthetic.
"The Old Dark Cashel House": Journalist Madeline Ishii faces off against the ghost of racist patriarch William Cashel. It's "Casper the Friendly Ghost" meets "Get Out."
Brennon's secret sauce is a dash of social commentary, a sprinkle of regional lore, and a heaping helping of family ties. The result is a cohesive supernatural feast that's more satisfying than your average anthology appetizer.
"Hauntology" proves that the only thing scarier than ghosts is outdated prejudice. It's the perfect treat to kick off your spooky season, showcasing solidarity and sisterhood that transcend both generations and planes of existence. Trust me, this director is one to watch... if you dare!

The beloved icon Carrie Fisher is in her sci-fi fantasy element here in "Wonderwell," a coming-of-age movie about a young woman who is at odds with her family and connects with an elderly witch named Hazel who teaches her the ways of magic and a few life lessons along the way.
Some people might find it a little "out there" but to me, it was a throwback to movies of the '70s like "Valerie's Week of Wonders," "Black Moon," or the original British "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe."
This is a fun family film with good special effects and a positive message, mainly for tween girls. The casting is good, and the pace will keep you interested.
