An unholy force takes root in an expectant mother's womb in this eerie, dread-inducing shocker. Privileged, nouveau-eco-hippies Louise (Ellen Dorrit Petersen) and Kasper (Peter Christoffersen) live off the grid in a remote home in the woods. Unable to conceive, the couple arranges for their immigrant maid, Elena (Cosmina Stratan), to act as a surrogate mother in exchange for payment. But as Elena becomes mysteriously sicker with each passing day, fears mount about what may be growing inside her. The debut feature from director Ali Abbasi is a stylish, atmospheric plunge into primal terror.

Shelley Film Synopsis

Terrified dad to beSettled down with my pregnant wife to watch a new scary movie (this was the newest and most interesting sounding one iTunes had to offer) and almost wish I hadn’t. A pregnant woman can be scary enough as it is - this was kind of like Rosemary’s Baby meets It’s Alive - we love horror films but I haven’t slept well since. Definitely worth a look (I won’t spoil the end but have to say it is definitely worth it).Score: 5/5

Creepy, unsettling, fascinatingThis film is the purest definition of slow burn, and with that term I mean that you can feel it ignite under your skin slowly as it draws you in and becomes increasingly unsettling as it builds to a finale that will finally engulf you. The actresses are excellent and it's beautifully shot. In its ambiguous evocation of horror without the cheap thrills so many of these types of films might rely on, it really is a fascinating watch.

Louises store drøm i livet er at blive mor, men hun kan ikke få børn. I desperation indgår Louise derfor en pagt med sin rumænske tjenestepige, Elena, som vil føde Louises barn og være dets rugemor mod en betydelig betaling.

Female journalist Rahimi (Zar Amir Ebrahimi) travels to the Iranian holy city of Mashhad to investigate a serial killer who believes he is doing the work of God, cleansing the streets of sinners by murdering sex workers. As the body count mounts, and Rahimi draws closer to exposing his crimes, the opportunity for justice grows harder to attain as the ‘Spider Killer’ is embraced by many as a hero. Based on the horrific true story of serial killer Saeed Hanaei, acclaimed writer/director Ali Abbasi (BORDER) unveils a gripping crime thriller, and a daring indictment of a society in which rough justice is routinely a fact of life.

The Simpsons' annual Treehouse of Horror has become as much a part of Halloween as tricks or treats and bobbing for apples.  This collection includes the first ever Halloween-themed Simpsons episode, including the Twilight Zone parody "Hungry Are the Damned."  The collection also features such modern classics as "The Devil and Homer Simpson," where Homer trades his soul to the devil for a donut; "Citizen Kang," where aliens kill both candidates for President in order to take over America; and "Life's a Glitch and then you Die," a terrifying look at the 21st century — almost as frightening, in fact, as things have actually been.  Each spine-tingling spectacular is "funny ha ha," not to mention "funny uh-oh," and taken together they're some of the scariest, most hilarious Simpsons segments of all time.  So get your fright on, download these goodies, and make every day Halloween with The Simpsons!
