September 2021 Review: The Best Movies I Saw Last Month

Originally published October 5, 2021

This past month has been the best month for horror movies (for me) since I began tracking my first-time watches. Out of 39 horror films watched, 22 registered as films that I consider to be great versus only 6 were considered bad. I credit this to my decision to attend Fantastic Fest 2021, which marks my first in-person film festival. I had a blast and watched a ton of great films there. Evidence of this comes in the form of all three of my “Best” entries coming from the fest. This month has been great and has offered up great competition to October, which I hope can compete against it. Anyway, here are the best and worst films that I watched this last month.

BEST #3) V/H/S/94 (2021); Director: Jennifer Reeder, Chloe Okuno, Simon Barrett, Timo Tjahjanto, Ryan Prows; United States, Indonesia
