budgie: top 5 horror movies of all time

budgie 02.10.19	just posting for posterity. if your ranking is different you are taco taco burrito sandwch
hobblepot 02.10.19	Lake Mungo is terrifying, sucks how few people know of its existence
DarkSideOfLucca 02.10.19	Oh man, I might do this soon. Although I would add like 5,000 more movies lmao - Evil Dead/2, The Shining, Nightmare, Alien, Psycho, The Thing, The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, Texas Chainsaw,The Witch and so many others That being said, dope fuckin list bro
budgie 02.11.19	yeah man! thanks the evil dead is definitely #6 here.
8genre 02.11.19	Alien is one of the best movies of all time let alone best horror movie. Sad!
budgie 02.11.19	b-b-b-bump
Trebor. 02.11.19	Jaws is one of those movies that I appreciate but I don't enjoy
BAT 02.11.19	shoutout to the thing, alien, dawn of the dead, the beyond, and suspiria. haven't seen 2 or 4
DarkSideOfLucca 02.11.19	That's fair, Trebor. That shit scared the hell out of me when I was a kid, though.
Rowhaus 02.11.19	Jaws and Halloween are my favorite movies
budgie 02.11.19	@BAT check 2 & 4. for real
budgie 02.11.19	tr sup
naughtcturnal 02.11.19	Have never even heard of Lake Mungo. Need to check that one out. Rest of these are masterpieces. Scream should be regarded as a classic alongside other classic slasher flicks. I think the movie that terrified me the most was the original Black Christmas if you haven't seen it. I remember having to sleep with the lights on for weeks after camping out alone in the basement as a child on a week-end at around 1 am. I there is something about the ending to that movies that gives me chills even by thinking of it
budgie 02.11.19	black christmas is a great slasher. check mungo!
DrGonzo1937 02.11.19	I've tried so many times to get into Lake Mungo and I can never do it; bloody awful film.
EphemeralEternity 02.11.19	is this a parody ranking
StrikeOfTheBeast 02.11.19	No Evil Dead or Alien? BLASPHEMY!
DarkSideOfLucca 02.11.19	True, all 5 spots should be Evil Dead
Zig 02.11.19	Where's Begotten ? Avant-garde horror masterpiece.
DarkSideOfLucca 02.11.19	Begotten is dope but it's definitely not top 5 horror movies of all time lol
EphemeralEternity 02.11.19	Begotten is objectively shit fellas
EphemeralEternity 02.11.19	I even have a friend who studied avant-garde film agree with me (after I threatened him with physical violence) so there you have it
wham49 02.11.19	how is JAws a horror movie, I thought it was a buddy fishing movie
budgie 02.11.19	lol i think it's soundly within the horror genre but yeah
JoeTex 02.11.19	Gremlins
Minushuman24 02.11.19	I need to see Lake Mungo after watching the beginning of Hollinger's essay. Other than that nah, far off from my top 5 1. The Thing 2. Alien 3. Texas Chainsaw 4. The Shining 5. Green Room
Yep321 02.11.19	1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. The Shining 3. The Exorcist 4. Night of The Living Dead 5. Cannibal Holocaust
BAT 02.11.19	everyone should just watch pieces and stagefright tho
budgie 02.11.19	green room is amazing for sure. i think i gave murder party a perfect rating
sixdegrees 02.11.19	blackcoat's daughter was very very good
iglu 02.11.19	agree with Scream, such a fun movie
Kalopsia 02.11.19	The Witch unnerved me for days i just bought the Suspiria remake but haven't watched it yet
StrikeOfTheBeast 02.12.19	@Yep21 dude Cannibal Holocaust is sick. Easily one of the best horror films out there just by its gritty, realistic approach and disturbing violence.
budgie 02.12.19	i havent seen cannibal holocaust. is it really worth watching? thought it was just mindless gore porn
StrikeOfTheBeast 02.12.19	Gore porn? yes. Mindless? nah
deathschool 02.12.19	Damn, these are basic as fuck, and I’m not even a horror fanatic.
Veldin 02.12.19	Kalopsia, Suspiria remake is a lot of fun. Has anyone seen the Eli Roth film, "The Green Inferno"? It wasn't very good, but for some reason it horrified me in ways most films don't
BAT 02.12.19	cannibal holocaust is far from the goriest or grossest movie out there, buuut it's a pretty effective exploitation film tbh. amazing theme song aswell. if your a fan of italian cult cinema definently worth a watch, just be aware that its full of animal cruelty. haven't seen green inferno yet but i heard its fun.
Source 02.12.19	Only seen halloween and jaws
TheSonomaDude 02.12.19	I've seen all of these. Good list budgie. Scream is good fun but not an essential imo, Lake Mungo really had me until the very end that kinda ruined what the film was about for me. The Blackcoat's Daughter is underrated, and Halloween and Jaws are masterpieces of horror cinema.
budgie 02.12.19	thx sonoma to clarify to everyone, these are my 5 favorites, not necessarily what i think are the objective best films out there if this were an objective list i guess it would be the same though maybe put halloween at #1 idk
budgie 02.12.19	pls post dark female recs pls
budgie 02.12.19	shes great shes in my favoirte porno
BigPleb 02.12.19	Need to see Lake Mungo. Is Blackcoat's Daughter scary too?
budgie 02.12.19	i don't think blackcoat's daughter is scary really, just a pretty film lake mungo broke me though, by far the scariest film i've seen
BigPleb 02.12.19	I love slow burners too, will check this weekend.
budgie 02.12.19	oh yeah, both lake mungo and blackcoat are total slowburners, let me know when you see them!
Gallantin 02.14.19	Suspiria Alien The Thing Cannibal Holocaust Funny Games
budgie 02.14.19	i had to skip through funny games
butt. 02.14.19	cool list, though I didn't care much for blackcoat's daughter. lake mungo is super underrated tho. also i fuckin love funny games
Kalopsia 02.14.19	what didn't you like about blackcoats daughter?
Trifolium 02.14.19	(... I've seen none of these budg... Are we still fwends?)
budgie 02.14.19	holy shit you've never seen a single one of these? next time you have a couple days off watch these 5 movies i am so jealous of you
budgie 02.14.19	actually don't watch lake mungo
Trifolium 02.14.19	Hahaha! Why not? Now I'm curious. I love tension à la Hitchcock (Rear Window, Vertigo, etc.) a lot, but those might not be horror perhaps.
budgie 02.14.19	lake mungo broke me and i dont want you to experience that degree of existential terror ill make an effort to check rear window and vertigo, havent seen either
Trifolium 02.14.19	Whooaah! Now I'm jealous of you. Jaws has been on my list for ages. I'll put Scream on it too.
butt. 02.14.19	Re: blackcoat’s daughter, it just felt like a long slow buildup to a payoff that was barely worth it. Just didn’t grab my attention like I had hoped. Not a bad movie at all, but wouldn’t even hit my top 50 horror films. It’s cool that you dig it so much though, nice to see some unpredictable opinions once in a while
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.14.19	"i havent seen cannibal holocaust. is it really worth watching? thought it was just mindless gore porn" neither but its a love it or hate it kind of thing. you'll either admire the irony of how butthurt it makes people or you'll be one of the people who gets REALLY butthurt about it.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.14.19	been meaning to peep lake mungo, and blackcoats daughter looks cool
J() Alexander 02.14.19	"i havent seen cannibal holocaust. is it really worth watching?" No.
StrikeOfTheBeast 02.14.19	Happy Death Day isn't a classic, but it was a fun flick with great performances and a good sense of humor.
butt. 02.14.19	I’d say cannibal holocaust is totally worth watching. Extremely unsettling, I love it
alamo 02.14.19	blackcoat could have been a good movie if emma roberts actually looked like the actress that played young kat
Gallantin 02.15.19	Cannibal Holocaust isn't gore porn. It's got some gory bits but it's far from the grossest film on the planet. It's good for its incredible soundtrack, surprisingly well directed aesthetic even though it's presented as found footage, and as disturbing as the events that take place are, I feel like its themes are rather poignant, even when dealt with so brutally.
budgie 02.15.19	happy death day was alright yeah. kinda bummed about the second one.. how is it even possible
lyzakthellama 02.16.19	Damn BAT, never thought I would see pieces mentioned here but damn that is truly an incredible film. 1) Evil Dead 2) Suspiria 3) Night of the Creeps 4) The Fog 5) Dawn of the Dead 6) The Beyond 7) Alien 8) Phantasm 9) Creepshow 10) Re-animator
naughtcturnal 02.16.19	has anyone seen other Dario Argento movies like Phenomena or Deep Red?
lyzakthellama 02.16.19	Phenomena is definitely one of my favorites. Tenebre is by far his best straight giallo but deep red, the cat of nine tails, opera and bird with the crystal plumage are all also pretty great.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.16.19	Kalopsia you mentioned the Witch, have you seen Hereditary?? It’s made by the same studio (A24), it’s very similar and I’d argue is much scarier. The movie unnerved me for days, and Toni Collette puts in not only the best performance I’ve seen in a horror movie, but one of the best performances I’ve ever seen period. It’s a crime she wasn’t nominated for an academy award.
budgie 02.16.19	is pieces that clown movie? nice list lyzak
lyzakthellama 02.16.19	Nah, this is pieces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A97EOtxF2gA
budgie 02.16.19	OHHH YEAH that was on shudder, fucking ridiculous movie
theNateman 02.17.19	List needs Alien
budgie 02.19.19	oh cool just realized this got "featured" though i still really don't know what featured means saw Beast (2017) on Shudder last night, was fucking EXCELLENT. slow burn black drama. recommended, esp. if you like sightseers orrrrr that movie double date. black dramas are, like, my favorite subgenre, i think. tonight i am watching a cam of happy death day 2 u, first one was fun, i have no idea how this one isn't going to be awkward but here we go
budgie 02.19.19	so yeah i rated beast a 4/5, which, i'm pretty low on my ratings, mostly everything is 2.5 or below. beast is killer. check it out if you like slow burn horror stuff.
Kalopsia 02.19.19	" Kalopsia you mentioned the Witch, have you seen Hereditary?? " i did see Hereditary and totally agree, awesome film. i think i like the overall mood and setting of The Witch a little more, but yeah Hereditary messed with my head for several days after
lyzakthellama 02.20.19	Do you have a Letterboxd account budgie?
budgie 02.20.19	yeah but it's only a month old and i've only been rating things as i watch (or rewatch) them, so there are only 30 or so atm https://letterboxd.com/carnute/films/ratings/by/entry-rating/ what's yours?
Gameofmetal 02.22.19	I liked The Blackcoat's Daughter a lot. It's one of those movies where you're just kinda "eh" most of the time with a few flashes of excitement, but the ending pulls it together really well. Deeply disturbing finale while being pretty original in the horror genre.
pizzamachine 02.22.19	The new It movie rules
StrikeOfTheBeast 02.22.19	[2]
budgie 02.22.19	ya the it remake was really strong, kinda bummed emily perkins doesnt have a role in the upcoming though
pizzamachine 02.22.19	I hear Pennywise is in the sequel. GET HYPE
artiswar 02.22.19	love emily perkins, wish she did more roles
Kalopsia 02.22.19	more like Emily jerkins amiright bois???
StrikeOfTheBeast 02.22.19	oh god hahaha
budgie 02.22.19	"love emily perkins, wish she did more roles" yesssssss. i'm assuming you've seen ginger snaps?
artiswar 02.22.19	ginger snaps was my childhood bro
CaliggyJack 02.22.19	Good list bro! For me though... 5. Suspiria 4. Deep Rising 3. Aliens VS Predator 2. Halloween 2 (Remake) 1. Child's Play 3
budgie 02.22.19	that's a weird list! suspiria OG i'm guessing? still haven't seen it (nor the remake) have you seen the child's play trailer with aubrey plaza? "ginger snaps was my childhood bro "' i love you
Trifolium 02.22.19	Oooh yeah, that one scared me so much. Rose Red was a fave of mine too.
budgie 02.22.19	i dont think ive ever even heard of rose red whats it aboot
Trifolium 02.22.19	It's a spooookyyy old gigantic mansion that seems to have a will of its own. A bunch of people go in, not all of them come back out... I think it was a Stephen King novel.
budgie 02.22.19	but does it have treerape?
Trifolium 02.22.19	...it might have... I see now that it's a miniseries. Never knew that before! I've always thought it was the longest movie ever.
CaliggyJack 02.22.19	Honestly I never cared for the Child's Play series as a whole. I always felt it was too goofy, but Child's Play 3 was fantastic and just came out of nowhere in terms of horror. The original Suspiria is a masterpiece. The list I made was basically using Horror in a general sense. I more preferable to slashers tbqh. Which is why if this was a Slasher best of list, it would be completely different.
budgie 02.22.19	what's your top 5 slasher list then? :P
StrikeOfTheBeast 02.22.19	That Friday The 13th remake wasn't terrible tbh; it made Jason more terrifying than previous installments and had some cool kills.
budgie 02.22.19	yeah the friday remake was great. the extended intro was smart & bringing back a running jason was smart
CaliggyJack 02.22.19	top 5 slashers? Oof that's a tough one 5. Halloween 4. Halloween 2 (Remake) 3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. The Town that Dreaded Sundown (Original) 1. My Bloody Valentine (Remake)
Gallantin 02.23.19	"Honestly I never cared for the Child's Play series as a whole. I always felt it was too goofy, but Child's Play 3 was fantastic and just came out of nowhere in terms of horror." is this a joke
budgie 02.23.19	ok so i saw the movie "cam" not great boys not great
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.23.19	Top 5 slashers are 1. Scream queens 2. Scream queens 3. Scream queens 4. Scream queens and 5. Scream queens
budgie 02.23.19	>:{
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.23.19	I'm srs
Scheumke 02.23.19	Anybody else liked Cabin in the Woods from a few years back? Not a big horror fan but I thought that one was actually pretty awesome.
budgie 02.23.19	it has a hugely positive reception in the horror community i didn't love it but you know it was ok
Scheumke 02.23.19	Im a fan of lovecraftian horror, mostly with written stories though. I love good suspense and mystery a lot more than gore and jumpscares. That probably why I'm not big on most big horror movies/franchises.
StrikeOfTheBeast 02.23.19	Antichrist is pretty sick tbh
BAT 02.24.19	still haven't gotten around to blackcoat/lake buuuut gonna dox my letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/tabv/ . still haven't seen the mbv remake but the original is awesome
EyesWideShut 02.24.19	the OG Maniac is a nasty joint
budgie 03.26.19	oh nice bump those movies are good squirtle i guess i like rec more than quarantine
budgie 03.26.19	is that the australian film? still havent seen it
budgie 03.26.19	oh youre australian? you should watch lake mungo then!!
budgie 03.26.19	i spit on your grave is the revenge porn movie? lake mungo scared me to death dude. that cell phone scene holy bonkers
Kalopsia 03.26.19	i put off Blackcoats Daughter, but bought it for cheap at a used media store. and holy shit i love it. really f'ing creepy
bellovddd 01.25.24	the fact you said lake mungo. PROPS. that movie is terrifying and so fucking depressing. I love it and wish more people did.
budgie 01.25.24	i think about it every day and it scares the hell outta me
bellovddd 01.25.24	I have not seen the blackcoats daughter but that top 5 is pretty fucking good.
budgie 01.25.24	oh get on it man. it's fucking oozing with atmosphere, great sound design, great acting, great everything, i'm sure you'll love it
budgie 01.25.24	whats yo top 5?
neekafat 01.25.24	Scream top slasher agreedd Gotta see Lake Mung
budgie 01.25.24	you gotta see greener grass and candy land
Effigy 01.25.24	I will never forget the phone footage from Lake Mungo
neekafat 01.25.24	bitch i've seen greener grass my friends made it
budgie 01.25.24	you are fucking lying
neekafat 01.25.24	ok its an exaggeration but i've worked with those producers a ton, i interned at that production company, they produce jim cummings films who I'm tight with
gabba 01.25.24	"The Wolf of Snow Hollow" Jim Cummings??? Man, I love that movie.
neekafat 01.25.24	wonderful film btw
neekafat 01.25.24	Yeah! I have a production assistant credit on that even tho I just did some office stuff for it lol I was Key PA on his next film tho!
budgie 01.25.24	ok well why wont you watch candy land. obviously i have good taste
budgie 01.25.24	i really liked wolf of snow hollow & beta test
gabba 01.25.24	The Beta Test? I haven't seen that one (yet). Snow Hollow is among my favorite horror-comedies of all time.
budgie 01.25.24	beta test has the exact same kind of weird eccentric filming style as wolf of snow hollow but its not really horror. if you like snow hollow im sure youd dig beta test
neekafat 01.25.24	@budgie cuz the only other film you've reccomended me was beast and that sucked lol but yeah beta test is sooooo good yeah gabba that one! and hell yeah snow hollow is great, I got to see it in the drive-in, was so fun. down for a rewatch sometime too!
neekafat 01.25.24	yeah beta test is more like a paranoia/erotic thriller. very millennial internet existential crisis type thing. but more fun than that sounds lol
budgie 01.25.24	well watch uh candy land to balance it out. bitch
gabba 01.25.24	will check it! as well as candy land, the trailer is very promising, love the crosses in it
neekafat 01.25.24	fineeeeeee
budgie 01.25.24	fuck yeah. candy land is SO GOOD.
neekafat 01.25.24	i still owe pots two movies tho so don't tell him
budgie 01.25.24	i think he is perma banned. at least i hope so. that dude fuckin bakes my god damn potatoes
neekafat 01.25.24	i thought yall had like a love hate thing going on
budgie 01.25.24	nawww i thought he was fun until he unironically told egarran to kill himself and then it was not very gravy
neekafat 01.25.24	yeah no he definitely crosses the line
budgie 01.25.24	i cross the line too all the time, i dont think pots is awful, i just you know you gotta support your friends, and egarran is my homie, i love that guy
neekafat 01.25.24	eg is the best, and unironically telling anyone to kill themselves is fucked up
