Johnny Compton recommends

Morsel (2026)
Carter Keane
"A gripping and biting work of cult, social horror. Morsel feels like Intensity and Pumpkinhead had a deadly standoff on a mountain road."

Their Monstrous Hearts (2025)
Yiğit Turhan
"Distinct, unsettling, and thoughtful...an impressive debut from Yigit Turhan, a new terrifying voice in horror!"
