Another Kind of Horror: LITTLE JOE (2019)

August 19, 2020 by Ness in Horror Movie Reviews

Little Joe is definitely not what you would consider a horror movie in the first place, but this is perhaps my favourite type of horror movie. We are no longer seeing impossible scenarios that are full of blood and weird creatures. Instead, we find plausible stories where you could easily imagine yourself. Not only that, but as The Blair Witch Project (1999) proved to the world, what you cannot see can be scarier than what you can.
