6 Favorite Students’ Horror Films

Many students like gathering with their peers to watch and discuss the latest horror movies. But have you ever thought why young people enjoy frightening scenes more than historical or dramatic films? Let’s try to figure it out! Since fear is one of the most powerful emotions, some people just seek intense feelings. They want to get scared because it helps them to get distracted from study routines.

Movie Reviews (Popcorn Frights 2021): “Ditched,” “Take Back the Night,” and “Pretty Boy”

Ditched From its opening sequence to its jaw-dropping climax, writer/director Christopher Donaldson’s Canadian feature Ditched is one wild swerve after another. Paramedic Melina (Marika Sila) comes to and finds herself in an overturned ambulance with memory loss from a concussion. A man strapped to a gurney (Kris Loranger as Franson) is also awake. As Melina tries to make sense of what happened before she blacked out, she finds other people both alive and dead around the rural, isolated scene — and then something hairy and dangerous makes its presence known. Giving away more than that would be heading into spoiler territory, but suffice it to say that what I have described happens very early on in the film, and plenty more is in store for viewers. Donaldson skillfully peels back layers while planting seeds for further mystery, and keeps the suspense at a hand-wringing pace. The members of the sizable cast give solid performances, especially Sila as a confused, scared,
