‘Saw’
For the lovers of a classic, a cult franchise in honour of every Halloween spirit ‘Saw’ is one of the highest-grossing horror film franchises of all time in its category. This six-part franchise mainly focuses on the character of John ‘Jigsaw’ Kramer who rather than killing his victims outright, traps them in situations that he calls ‘tests’ or ‘games’ to test their will to live through physical or psychological torture, believing that if they survive, they will be ‘rehabilitated’.
‘Cabin In the Woods’
What is Halloween without a good dose of vampire drama? Grab your friends along to watch this story about five friends who unknowingly summon a family of murderous zombies and inadvertently become involved in a ritual of human sacrifice held to please cruel subterranean deities.
