You Won’t Be Alone’s new trailer is haunting and bewitching

In myth and legend, witches are almost always the villains. However, the new horror thriller You Won’t Be Alone is taking a different tack with its subject matter. The lead character, Nevena, is a witch and she does some horrible things. But she also wants to experience life as a human. To do so, she has to take lives and assume the identity of her victims.

Noomi Rapace stars in the film as Nevena, but since Nevena will take on different bodies, she will be portrayed by other actresses as well. Nevena can even become male if she chooses, and the new trailer appears to indicate that she will at one point. Unfortunately for Nevena, her activities have not gone unnoticed by both the people around her and her fellow witches. But who will get to Nevena first?

Here’s the official description for the film:

“Set in an isolated mountain village in 19th-century Macedonia, the film follows a young girl who is kidnapped and then transformed into a witch by an ancient spirit. Curious about life as a human, the young witch accidentally kills a peasant in the nearby village and then takes her victim’s shape to live life in her skin. Her curiosity ignited, she continues to wield this horrific power in order to understand what it means to be human.”

10 best PG-13 horror movies ever, ranked
Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman in 10 Cloverfield Lane.

True horror aficionados tend to prefer R-rated films for all of the gore, violence, and scares that are too extreme for PG-13 horror movies. However, R-rated horror movies don't tend to become blockbusters very often when compared to their PG-13 counterparts. It's also easy to forget that the PG-13 rating was created in the mid-80s when the standard PG rating was no longer sufficient for films like Gremlins or Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

While many of the best horror movies ever made, like The Exorcist, have effectively used their R-rated content, PG-13 horror movies tend to be a bit more creative to have the same effect. Many of our picks for the greatest PG-13 horror movies have come out within the last 24 years, which suggests that modern filmmakers have become more adept at playing within those limits. Keep reading, and you'll see why the following films are the best PG-13 horror movies.

All of James Cameron’s movies, ranked
Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator.

At the 1998 Oscars, James Cameron infamously declared that he was "king of the world" while picking up the awards for Best Director and Best Picture for Titanic. As much as that line didn't go over well at the time, it's kind of hard to argue against Cameron. In the last 42 years, Cameron has directed nine feature films, three of which are among the highest-grossing movies of all time. He's not just one of the top directors in Hollywood -- Cameron is the most successful director ever.

Later this year, Cameron's breakout picture, The Terminator, will celebrate its 40th anniversary. In honor of that milestone, we're taking a look back at all of James Cameron's movies and ranking them from worst to first. Note that we're limiting this list to the feature films that Cameron directed, and not counting the two documentaries he helmed as well.
