Novel & Cerita This Thing Between Us

Gus Moreno is the brilliant mind behind 'This Thing Between Us'. I stumbled upon this novel during a late-night bookstore run, and the cover immediately grabbed me. Moreno crafts horror with emotional depth, blending grief with supernatural elements in a way that feels raw and real. His writing style is sharp yet poetic, making every page drip with tension. Before this, he wrote short stories that got critical praise, but 'This Thing Between Us' put him on the map as a novelist to watch. If you're into horror that lingers long after you finish reading, check out his work alongside Paul Tremblay or Stephen Graham Jones.

I recently watched 'This Thing Between Us' and was totally blown away by the performances! The lead actor is Maika Monroe, who you might recognize from 'It Follows'—she brings this eerie, understated intensity to the role that’s perfect for the film’s vibe. Then there’s Finn Wittrock, who plays her partner; he’s got this magnetic screen presence that makes their dynamic feel so real. The supporting cast includes some lesser-known but equally talented actors like Sheila Vand and Michael Eklund, who add layers to the story.

What I loved was how the casting felt intentional—every actor matched the unsettling tone of the movie. Monroe’s ability to switch from vulnerability to terror is just chef’s kiss. Wittrock, meanwhile, nails the gradual unraveling of his character. It’s one of those films where the chemistry between the leads carries the whole thing. If you’re into psychological horror with strong performances, this is a must-watch.

Man, I was just searching for 'This Thing Between Us' the other day! It's one of those indie horror gems that slipped under the radar, but man, does it pack a punch. You can catch it on Shudder—it’s basically the go-to spot for niche horror flicks. If you’re not subscribed, they sometimes offer free trials, so that’s worth checking out. I also heard it might be available for rent on Amazon Prime or Apple TV, but prices vary.

Honestly, I’d recommend Shudder first because the vibe there just fits the movie’s eerie tone. Plus, their library’s full of similar hidden treasures if you’re into slow-burn psychological horror like 'The Dark and the Wicked' or 'The Blackcoat’s Daughter.' The film’s got this unsettling atmosphere that sticks with you, especially if you’re into grief-themed horror. Worth the hunt!
