A classic of German expressionism, M is often cited as one of the most blood-chilling movies ever made. Released in 1931, M is a stone-cold classic, a movie worth reading up on before seeing: a cinematic landmark. Run time: 111 minutes. NR. Subtitled.
Already regarded as a contemporary classic, this tense indie film, shot in California, is an Iranian Vampire Western, which sounds good for a Hallowe’en movie. Starring Sheila Vand as The Girl, this movie’s fan base grows every year since its 2014 release. Run time: 101 minutes.
