The Jessica Cabin, a new gay horror comedy film by Daniel Montgomery, is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The story follows a gay couple who check into a secluded rental property only to be haunted by a pair of ghost best friends. As the fun takes a sinister turn, the film explores themes of loneliness, trauma, and agency in the afterlife.
Montgomery, who wrote and directed the film, strikes a balance between creepy and nutty, creating a queer story that is both darkly humorous and unexpectedly tender. The cast delivers strong performances, especially in scenes that feel improvised, making the film more heartwarming than terrifying.
In a different vein, ‘The Ghost Station’ is another new release on Amazon Prime Video that offers a creepy ghost story with a cautionary tale about the perils of shoddy journalism. The film follows a young reporter investigating mysterious occurrences in an old train station, leading her to battle supernatural curses and undead hauntings.
For those looking for a dystopian thriller, ‘Old People’ on Netflix tells the story of a family encountering a series of grisly murders committed by older people in a nursing home. The film serves as a cutting indictment of modern eldercare while delivering buckets of blood and guts in a raw killer zombie movie.
Lastly, ‘Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever’ on Shudder is a sequel to the 1994 psychological thriller ‘Nightwatch,’ following the original protagonist’s daughter as she uncovers dark secrets at a morgue. The film delves into themes of suffering, aging, and mental illness, making it a must-watch for horror enthusiasts.
With a variety of horror films now available for streaming, viewers can indulge in a range of spooky and thrilling stories from the comfort of their own homes.
