DHR Recommends - Worldwide Horror Edition
With apologies for the delay in this post - we present our final Worldwide Horror special feature. Every month, our contributors recommend media they’ve been listening to, watching, reading etc, over the last month, but as we recently hosted our Worldwide Horror event for our birthday, this edition contains recommendations from our contributors focusing on global horror.
Elle:
The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
Fantasy Novel
Chupeco’s voice and style really shine through in this sprawling, post-apocalyptic fantasy about two sisters racing to save their worlds.
Dai:
Mon Mon Mon Monsters
Film
Taiwanese horror-comedy about the horrifying monsters that teenagers are, gory and mean in the best possible way.
Dee:
Helter Skelter
Film (2012) & Manga
Fans of The Substance should check out this tale focused on a popular young model, Lilico, who is obsessed with fame, her own self-image, & staying on top of the Japanese fashion industry by any means necessary in the manga & visually striking j-horror 2012 film, Helter Skelter.
Chelsea Catherine:
Cure
Movie by Kiyoshi Kurosawa
A gorgeous film that explores the horror of the mesmerism, shot with painstaking care to engage the audience in the same hypnotic trance the movie's victims experience.
