The Graveyard Shift
The town of Millwood had always been quiet, but it held a dark secret. At the edge of town stood an ancient cemetery, its gravestones worn and weathered by time. A dense fog often rolled in at night, casting an eerie pall over the tombstones and the gnarled trees that lined the cemetery's borders. The locals avoided it, especially after sunset. They spoke in hushed tones about the strange occurrences that had plagued the cemetery for generations, but no one dared to investigate. That is, until a group of teenagers decided to explore the forbidden grounds on Halloween night.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Late Night with the Devil (2024). Content Warning.
When I say this movie went all in on the 70's theme, I mean at the cost of the plot. Even the practical FX are something you would expect out of a 70's horror movie. Even weirder, the movie feels like watching an episode of The Price Is Right. This really makes the movie seem profoundly absurd. Here's the thing though, it's why the movie is so damn good... I mean, don't get me wrong, it's actually quite bad, but in a really good way.

Across Asia, beliefs in ghosts varied widely, from vengeful spirits seeking justice to benevolent ancestors watching over their descendants.
