10.11.19 | ur still cancelled |
artiswar
10.11.19 | I still think you're a bit fucked in the head if your takeaway from Midsommar was that Dani was the bad guy, BUT thanks for making this thread. My index finger can finally rest. |
unclereich
10.11.19 | Babdook and midsommar sucked[2] |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | babadook is one of the worst movies ive ever seen in my entire life |
budgie
10.11.19 | that's 100% my take
i thought everyone else ws fucked in the head reading discussions when people were calling dani's ending "triumphant" and "cathartic" |
artiswar
10.11.19 | wha?? Babadook owns. Actually it's the only film I've seen that nails the same horror tone as Hereditary. |
budgie
10.11.19 | babydook score is pretty sweet |
budgie
10.11.19 | who th fuck is sweet dee btw |
unclereich
10.11.19 | Midsommar was beautiful to look at ari knows how to direct a film but it was so droll and realllllly dragged on reminded me of a swans lp |
artiswar
10.11.19 | I wouldn't call Dani's end triumphant (she traded one toxic co-dependant relationship for another, although she doesn't realize it) but it certainly was cathartic. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | i think you missed like 99-100% of the parable the movie illustrated if you don't understand the conflicted sense of catharsis that women in particular found from that movies resolve |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | you are literally why the meme of boyfriends being mad at their girlfriends after seeing that movie exists |

10.11.19 | i watch movies for my own entertainment pots i don't care what they stand for beyond my own entertainment |

10.11.19 | sweet dee from always sunny in phili |
unclereich
10.11.19 | Hahahaha thatās a great take on the film and certainly one of the most obvious metaphor but the pacing was bad and there wasnt anything really horrific about it. Hereditary scared the absolute shit out of me on the other hand |
artiswar
10.11.19 | I thought budgie dug Midsommar |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | "i watch movies for my own entertainment pots i don't care what they stand for beyond my own entertainment"
cheap cop out for blatantly not understanding something tbh. the question wasn't whether or not you were entertained |

10.11.19 | Has anyone ever seen Hillary and the Babadook in the same room?
I'm just asking questions here. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | i have some complaints about hereditary but i agree it hit a certain juicy spot although not quite as well as Witch did for me |
budgie
10.11.19 | "I thought budgie dug Midsommar "
it was a really good horror movie and it horrified me and i respect it
i don't like it the way i like return of the living dead or something, though |

10.11.19 | I actually like the discussion of face value enjoyment vs having to have a metaphor driven plot. |

budgie
10.11.19 | "the question wasn't whether or not you were entertained "
there wasn't a question at all |
artiswar
10.11.19 | Parts of Hereditary were really scary but Midsommar had a constant sense of profound discomfort and looming dread that I enjoyed stewing in. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | "there wasn't a question at all"

10.11.19 | mitch u seen the lighthouse trailer? |
artiswar
10.11.19 | The shots of that temple burning and homegirl stumbling around in that glorious dress was enough of a climax for me. |
budgie
10.11.19 | that's why midsommar's end was so troubling for me unclereich, there wasn't a resolution and certainly no catharsis, it was just terror, seeing dani's constant expression of anxiety transform into this vindictive murderess |
conesmoke
10.11.19 | āWas enough to make you climaxā - fin weirdo |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | that fucking frumpy ass dress alone made me climax, not to mention the absolute DRAMA of it all while she fucking dragged it back and forth screaming bloody fucking murder |

10.11.19 | "transform into this vindictive murderess"

10.11.19 | homegirl was in fucking absolute full-blown shock by that point. vindictive murderess? have you a fuckin' clue m8? no resolution? girl had hella ptsd and found catharsis in a toxic fucked up society after her own "family", was murdered, died, or abandoned her and gaslighted her for years. it may be bleak but it IS certainly a resolution. |

10.11.19 | IT actually justifies its absurd length. The structure of the novel is one of the most brilliant things I've ever read. Book also has the single edgiest scene in anything ever. Bite the bullet and read it if you haven't, it's a trip. |

10.11.19 | I saw In the Tall Grass a few days ago. It's a good plot for a low-bugdet production, but the movie is nothing out of the ordinary. 5/10 |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | STRANGERS: PREY AT NIGHT was surprisingly entertaining considering how much of a shit pie the first one was (though it's not really a sequel, basically an entirely new movie with the same premise). Not exactly scary but a neat, conscious horror flick with some nice 80s throwbacks and arty vibes.
Liv Tyler is the absolute worst. |
budgie
10.11.19 | huuhhhhhhhhhhh shit i need to watch that |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | don't bother with THE STRANGERS, it's absolute ass. just watch PREY AT NIGHT. cool little horror flick that tickles a lot of nostalgic nerves. |

10.11.19 | thought the strangers was reasonably well regarded. haven't seen it since it released been so long. |

10.11.19 | Yeah, I always thought The Strangers was pretty bad. Never understood how so many people could like it/call it scary. |
Larkinhill
10.11.19 | Hey guys gyro here, just reminding you i still really dont like this band haha ok later (2) |

10.11.19 | The Strangers was coma-inducing. If you want good home-invasion watch Funny Games or You're Next. Ghostland is another good one. |

10.11.19 | The Invitation was pretty good, definitely not what I expected. |

10.11.19 | Sure it was unexpected, but was it any good? I'm not so sure |

10.11.19 | It was a pretty good drama about dealing with grief, not really a good horror though |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | I dunno the whole grief cult thing was pretty cringe for me. I thought it was silly and I was struggling to suspend my disbelief throughout |

artiswar
10.11.19 | I kinda liked the weird support-group setup actually. |
Thalassic
10.11.19 | The Lighthouse is one I'm looking forward to quite a bit. The Witch is def one of my favorites of the decade. I was about to 9/10 that movie but then the goat attack "corruption thou art my father" combo happened and I immediately 10/10'd it and called it a day. Also, the last couple of years Pattinson has actually proven to be a legitimately great actor that got heart for his profession. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Ugh it was just so over the top, nobody would buy that shit the zealots were unconvincing |

10.11.19 | That peek-a-boo scene in The Witch still turns my spine to jelly. |
butt.
10.11.19 | wtfff how is this already over 100 comments. surprised you did this budgie, the other one was so close to 1000!
The Witch: yes probably probably top 5 of the decade for me
The Village: criminally underrated. great atmosphere/setting, beautiful soundtrack, stacked cast and great acting. creature design is sick too.
The Strangers Prey at Night: fun sequel, that pool scene was honestly really well done |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Yeah thalassic agreed all around |

10.11.19 | i saw the witch twice and i like it but don't love it. could see having it in top 5 most impressive or impactful horror films of the decade, but it wouldn't be in my top 5 favorites. it's definitely a great film. |
budgie
10.11.19 | birdbox was watchable, at least i finished that film (couldn't finish the jim from the office movie). it had the issue that some adapted films have, the entire thing plays out like it's a book, idk how to explain it. film adaptations should be altered a bit so it doesn't have that feel or pacing or whatever it is |
budgie
10.11.19 | birdbox is a solid 2.3/5 "watchable, forgettable." |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | I've see witch at least 3 times. No-brainer pick for top horror films of the decade for me. It filled a similar spot in my heart as blackcoats daughter for me but I do still prefer witch |

artiswar
10.11.19 | best 70s horror has to be Suspiria with Wicker Man a close second. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | For me the village is the quintessential disappointing horror movie about a cult that duoned most horror movies about cults |

10.11.19 | Halloween is my favorite. Def not Carrie.
Re: Alien, The Exorcist or The Shining - I'd say The Shining by far |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | I always thought people ironically liked wicker man, not genuinely |
butt.
10.11.19 | @pots the village is not about a cult at all. not even the marketing, which was terribly misleading, hinted at a cult-themed movie |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | THE INVITATION was kind of poop, agreed. Mediocre at best. Haven't seen it since it came out but remember being actively annoyed by how obvious the weird cult shit was and how calm everyone seemed about it. Mostly by how obvious it was, though. I specifically remember a scene with several cuts of nothing but close ups of various people's wine glasses. Like, please make it *more* obvious that something's in the wine. |
butt.
10.11.19 | and no Wicker Man is genuinely really good. love that shit. Midsommar definitely was influenced by multiple facets of that |

10.11.19 | I watched OG Carrie last year for the first time. some of the acting and random scenes were just not good at all, I was thrown off. The climax is worth it, but so much of that movie is just awkward |

10.11.19 | I forgot about TCM. That and Halloween are probably my top 2 70s horror.
Anyone seen Tourist Trap? |

10.11.19 | you've got walnuts for brains butt :P |

10.11.19 | you also found barbiebox more watchable than quiet place :D |

10.11.19 | 'I watched OG Carrie last year for the first time. some of the acting and random scenes were just not good at all, I was thrown off. The climax is worth it, but so much of that movie is just awkward'
that opening credit bush, tho |
artiswar
10.11.19 | Evil Dead and Suspiria, yes. Halloween? Whaaaaaaaa? No, god no. |
butt.
10.11.19 | Halloween might be my new favorite horror remake, but more likely IT.
F13 was decent, Child's Play was really good, Nightmare on Elm Sucked. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Oh wait sorry new halloween I meant the sequel not remake |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Like the new one with the old jamie lee |
butt.
10.11.19 | Evil Dead remake was decent but something about the atmosphere just felt so miserably dismal to me. Not in a fun way. The original is so much god damn fun (just watched it last night) |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | 'Best horror remakes GO'
Not a fan of SUSPIRIA (i don't even really like the original tho) but the new EVIL DEAD was wild, super over the top in a good way. Haven't seen the Rob Zombie HALLOWEEN movies but I heard they're good. I thought the DAWN OF THE DEAD remake was pretty alright, too.
I like Herzog's NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE a lot, quite different from the original (obviously). |
butt.
10.11.19 | yeah I knew what you meant. Sometimes I forget it's incorrect to call it a remake. The sequel to Halloween is called...Halloween. Makes sense. |
butt.
10.11.19 | nah fuck RZ's halloween (first one was fine I guess) but Halloween 2018 is where it's at |
artiswar
10.11.19 | IT remake sucked, sorry. 0 scares, felt like a Disney film. |
budgie
10.11.19 | 'Best horror remakes GO'
The Blob 1988. evil dead 2013 or thereabouts |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | there is a very vocal minority that thinks RZ's HALLOWEEN II is among one of the greatest horror films of all time.
based on what i've seen of Zombie's work i am skeptical, to say the least. |
artiswar
10.11.19 | @tectactoe Yeah that Nosferatu is dope, Dawn Of The Dead too. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | The original suspiria is a bit of a claustrophobic incoherent mess but the visuals and set pieces make me appreciate the cult status |
budgie
10.11.19 | "
New halloween " the new halloween isn't a remake though? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Cant stand rob zombie for the most part. Should see that nosferatu as Herzog is a ledge |
artiswar
10.11.19 | haha I thought Suspiria was like one of your fave movies Pots |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | @budgie I know that's why I corrected myself |
butt.
10.11.19 | "IT remake sucked, sorry. 0 scares"
hate to break it to you, but if the remake had 0 scares then the original had -13 scares. it is leaps and bounds better than the original in just about every way |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | @art the remake is, the original not so much beyond the aforementioned set pieces |
butt.
10.11.19 | original Suspiria is like a 7/10 for me, haven't seen the remake yet because it's so GD long |
budgie
10.11.19 | has no one here seen 1988 the blob?!?? |
artiswar
10.11.19 | Every time I get suckered into watching a RZ movie I instantly regret it. He has to be one of the worst horror hacks of all time, he literally has all the worst instincts as a filmmaker. |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | the original THE BLOB is so bad, i don't know if i can power through a remake |
artiswar
10.11.19 | @butt yeah but I didn't like the original either. The novel was never intended to be adapted. It's about a cosmic turtle fighting a giant dream spider. That kind of thing only works on the page. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Evil dead remake made me absolutely squirm tho, shit was indeed way over the top in the best way |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | yeah, of the RZ films i've seen so far, they've all been super cringe, goofy, not scary, and clearly just a way for him to film his wife half-naked acting stupid. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | I quite enjoyed The Ritual
Also Under the Skin was mesmerizing and I hate scarjo |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | UNDER THE SKIN is masterful. One of the best scores of the decade, too. 2013 was such a good year for movies. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Rz's wife is basically the real life trailer trash sociopath version of harley quinn |
butt.
10.11.19 | "yeah, of the RZ films i've seen so far, they've all been super cringe, goofy, not scary, and clearly just a way for him to film his wife half-naked acting stupid."
yup that's about it. some of them have potential of being good, but it is literally impossible for him to make a great film |
butt.
10.11.19 | The Ritual is awesome, and for the love of Christ, The Invitation is a great movie so y'all stop being meanies. I've never even heard of anyone not liking it until this thread |
artiswar
10.11.19 | still need to watch Under The Skin. Don't like Scarjo but she was great in Her.
Man, this thread is popping off again. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Lords of Salem worst rz film holy fuck |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | @art the great thing about under the skin if you dont like scarjo is that it fully embraces the fact that shes a wooden shell of an actress in the best way and utilizes it to its advantage |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | 'Lords of Salem worst rz film holy fuck'
lmao i literally just watched this two days ago because it (for some reason) got added to MUBI. so, sooo bad. |
artiswar
10.11.19 | I only watched Halloween and Devil's Rejects (cause someone told me it was by far his best movie) and it was all just offensively, irredeemably bad. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | I think I got you pegged all wrong tectac, ur not really the massively pretentious asshole I thought, just opinionated and able to back it up, my apologies |
budgie
10.11.19 | omg tectactoe watch the blob '88 nowwwwwww |
budgie
10.11.19 | "The Invitation is a great movie so y'all stop being meanies." thank you for not being insane |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | Most people hate it but I really liked Mickey Keating's movie DARLING, I think it's still on Netflix right now. It's essentially a homage / re-imagined version of Polanski's REPULSION, but he does a good job of making it 'his own' instead of just feeling like a rip-off. Obviously I'm mostly alone in thinking that, though.
THE EYES OF MY MOTHER which I think is also on Netflix is another good recent horror that I forgot about; kind of abstract and works through grotesque imagery more than actual narrative, but it's eerie as fuck. |
budgie
10.11.19 | darling was alright but the editing was shit and irritating. lauren ashley carter is super awesome though. |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | @Potts no worries mate, i know i come off like a dick sometimes but i am just loud and opinionated, i rarely mean to sound condescending or malicious though i'm sure it seems that way sometimes.
truce [heart emoji] |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | I'm the same way tec so I should know better than to assume the worst rather than be a hypocrite tbh, truce indeed ur cool in my books |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Speaking of mamas anyone seen goodnight mommy or whatever? Had a couple people rec it to me but I'm unsure |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | 'darling was alright but the editing was shit and irritating. lauren ashley carter is super awesome though.'
well you're the first person i've seen who didn't actively despite it, so that's a good sign. yeah the phone call ending sucked, but everything up to that point was awesome. and yes, LAC has the perfect eyes for that role.
Keating's CARNAGE PARK was also pretty decent, and a clear homage to many Tarantino films. POD and PSYCHOPATHS were ass, though. |
butt.
10.11.19 | I think you're all atrocious
love,
me |
budgie
10.11.19 | carnage park had the same issue as darling toward the end with shit editing that gave me epileptic seizures
goodnight mommy was meh |
butt.
10.11.19 | I liked goodnight mommy. I don't remember a whole lot of it but I was satisfied. |
artiswar
10.11.19 | Repulsion is one of my all-time faves, I don't think I'd be able to sit through a remake/reimagining.
Goodnight Mommy was quite good and creepy but it's a real slow burn so keep that in mind.
Livid is a great French horror with really whack ballet imagery, it's very Silent Hill. And speaking of dance, everyone watch Climax. Consider it homework. |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | CLIMAX was pretty good. Noeās best since IRREVERSIBLE, for sure. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | I do love me a good slow burner |
butt.
10.11.19 | Irreversible is super fkin good. Just saw it a few months ago |
butt.
10.11.19 | House of the Devil anyone? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Dont think I could ever stomach irreversible ever again but it is certainly an incredible film |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Always see house of the devil and wonder about it but no |
artiswar
10.11.19 | You watched Enter The Void tectactoe? I thought the camera-work in that was some of the most unique and insane I've ever seen, but then Climax came along and was like 'hold my beer...' |
artiswar
10.11.19 | House Of The Devil is fucking lit. |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | @art, yeah I liked ENTER THE VOID a lot for about two hours, but the last half-hour with the floating through that neon sex hotel is just Noe at his most annoyingly pretentious, capped off by the goddamn vag cam. So it's great for two hours and shit for about thirty minutes. Overall, I liked it, though. Thought LOVE was total ass.
I actively enjoyed CLIMAX, though, all the way through. Goes from a wildly choreographed dance party to a nightmarish drug trip. Good stuff. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Gotta watch climax, decided to pass on love |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | LOVE is very skippable unless you like 3-D cumshots being spewed at the screen |
artiswar
10.11.19 | Haha, yeeaaaaaahhh, that last 45 minutes is super self-indulgent and hard to sit through, but not gonna lie, it's still quite the experience. Also the first like 25 minutes of that film are INSANELY fucking good.
My main issue with Climax is it didn't go far enough with the horror, like the body count could have been A LOT better imo. It didn't get quite as visceral as I wanted it to. But other than that, the tracking shots were utterly hypnotic and the dance sequences were WOW.
And yeah, I haven't watched Love, I guess I'll skip that one then lol. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Yeah I dont think I need a full film of noes pornographic inclinations |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Anyone see House That Jack Built? Wish Joker was a lot more like that tbh |
Thalassic
10.11.19 | Irreversible is a legit terrific movie, but yeah it's a movie I've only watched twice in about 10 years time and it's gonna take a few more years before I give it another go |
budgie
10.11.19 | "House of the Devil anyone?"
house of the devil is class. jocelyn donahue omg |
artiswar
10.11.19 | I watched Irreversible back in high-school before I really knew anything about Noe, and I remember almost nothing about it. It's actually the next film I'm rewatching probably. |
JeetJeet
10.11.19 | Anyone seen the trailer for The Lodge yet? Looks like it could be awesome. Plus its got Riley Keough in it and she's incredible. |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | 'I watched Irreversible back in high-school before I really knew anything about Noe, and I remember almost nothing about it. It's actually the next film I'm rewatching probably.'
I mean.....there should be at least *one* thing you remember about it. It literally takes up over 10% of the entire film.
'Anyone see House That Jack Built?'
Yes, really liked it. There aren't many directors I'm as hot-and-cold with as Von Trier. He has some straight masterpieces (e.g. DANCER IN THE DARK, BREAKING THE WAVES) and some straight garbage (e.g. ANTICHRIST, NYMPHOMANIAC) so I never know how I'll react going into one of his movies.
THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT isn't quite a masterpiece but I really enjoyed it, more than I thought I would tbh. You can't deny how self-indulgent it is, but that's also kind of the entire point of it, and LVT makes us very aware of the fact that he *knows* how indulgent it is, and uses that as part of his semi-confession for the whole thing. Really liked it, though. Made my Top 10 list for 2018. |
butt.
10.11.19 | "jocelyn donahue omg" I KNOWWWWW ugh she's a freaking doll |
Thalassic
10.11.19 | Yeah if you don't remember those 10 minutes of ultra disgustingly uncomfortable I have a hard time believing you did even watch Irreversible haha |
artiswar
10.11.19 | I definitely remember the general premise and the first 20 or so minutes, I just can't remember how everything plays out. |
Gmork89
10.11.19 | Watched Baskin recently, definitely a disturbing unique film. |
Thalassic
10.11.19 | Still need to watch Baskin. Turks I know that have seen the movie act like it's the best ever, but Turks will say that about anything Turkish |
JeetJeet
10.11.19 | Von Trier is the fuckin worst man. I have a friend who swears that everything that guy touches is gold. Nigga made me watch Antichrist and I was so heated by the end of it. Such an ASS ass movie. |
artiswar
10.11.19 | Never heard of Baskin but it looks promising, thanks.
Antichrist is peak arthouse. |
Gmork89
10.11.19 | Yeah im not a fan of Von Trier aside from Melancholia, which really made me feel depressed so I give it points for moving me emotionally, but I don't think I want to watch it again. Antichrist was just ridiculous. |
artiswar
10.11.19 | Dogville is his best. Melancholia was pretty good.
Has anyone seen Neon Demon? I'm on the fence about watching it. |
JeetJeet
10.11.19 | Yea Melancholia is his most tolerable movie. Saw The House that Jack Built earlier this year and it was laughably bad. |
Gmork89
10.11.19 | I have heard Neon Demon is good but I keep forgetting to watch it, might do that this weekend. |
JeetJeet
10.11.19 | Neon Demon is awesome but people either love it or hate it. |
Gmork89
10.11.19 | Remake of Suspiria was also legit. |
artiswar
10.11.19 | yeah that's what I keep hearing Jeet. guess I'll just bite the bullet |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | I am on the side that hates NEON DEMON. |
budgie
10.11.19 | "Neon Demon is awesome but people either love it or hate it. "
i thought it was nice, neither love or hate. fun movie. |
budgie
10.11.19 | neon demon & starry eyes is a good double feature btw. if you have a boring saturday i recommend that duo |
artiswar
10.11.19 | hmm might actually do that |
JeetJeet
10.11.19 | Never seen Starry Eyes but that's going on my watchlist right now. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | I LOVED neon demon. refn is one of my favourite directors tbh, i even loved Only God Forgives, another much maligned movie |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | re von trier though i really love Antichrist. Nymphomaniac certainly not enjoyable in any capacity but I liked it in the same way I liked Requiem for a Dream. Like I never ever want to watch it ever again.
The House That Jack Built was definitely self-indulgent and painful to watch but I quite enjoyed it. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | back to refn I know a lot of people also didn't like Valhalla Rising but its probably my favourite of his movies. there is an aesthetic quality to it that The Witch kind of matched that just really gets me off. |
iglu
10.11.19 | only god forgives is quite good |
artiswar
10.11.19 | Valhalla Rising is fucking amazing. One of those classic 'hated it on first watch, fell in love on second' films. The atmosphere cuts to the bone on that one. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | i really like the continual exploration of his masculine archetypes in refn's films, and i feel like Only God Forgives kind of brought the parable to completion. In pretty much all his films he has used the clenching of the main characters fist as a primary symbol for their masculinity and in OGF's he even wraps up that imagery in the scene where Gosling pushes his clenched fist through the strippers veil and she unfurls it. Neon Demon on the flipside being his first exploration of his feminine archetypes. Big fan |
iglu
10.11.19 | I like how he irritates William Friedkin in that interview they made |
JeetJeet
10.11.19 | Pots have you seen Refn's show on Amazon? Too Old To Die Young. Its pretty awesome. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | lol just watched a snippet of that interview and read some of the comments. funny stuff.
@jeet nope never even heard of it! thanks for bringing that to my attention
|
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | holy fuck just watched the trailer for too old to die young i am fired up |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | VALHALLA definitely underrated. My second favorite Refn. (I am a whore for DRIVE. He just does so many things right in that movie.) |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | yeah it JUST edges out Drive for me. Also really love Bronson. Need to watch the Pusher trilogy |
budgie
10.11.19 | keanu reeves in neon demon was great
keanue reeves in knock, knock was... CHOCOLATES WITH SPRINKLESSSSSS |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | haha Keanu Reeves in Neon Demon and then The Bad Batch were the films that made me change my tune on the man and start honouring him as the national treasure that he truly is |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | Any fans of Bully up in here?
|
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | also maybe someone can help me here. i've been trying to remember this movie i saw like a decade ago. i can't remember much about it other than that there is a scene where the main kid is caught skateboarding and doing graffiti or something in a trainyard and the security dude ends up getting cut in half by a train in the pursuit and then starts crawling towards the kid in shock with his guts trailing behind his dismembered torso. help what movie is this |
iglu
10.11.19 | is it paranoid park? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | sure fuckin is THANK u |
iglu
10.11.19 | yw, haven't seen it but you can find anything on the internet |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | ok i have one other
also at least a decade old, a similarly bleak teen movie, ends up shockingly being about a school shooter. my memory of this one is even foggier but i think i remember a scene where two kids are talking in the bathroom when the shooting starts happening. helpful i know. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | "yw, haven't seen it but you can find anything on the internet"
hahaha bless you and ur internet skills
i think i thought it was really good |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | wait i got it |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | using this handy "internet" tool you speak of I have deduced that the other movie is ELEPHANT and that the reason i think of the two movies together is that they are both Gus Van Sant movies lol |
iglu
10.11.19 | well gus van sant both directed paranoid park and Elephant so maybe that's the one you're talking about?
the only other movie i've seen about school shooters is The Dirties |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | haha yes |
iglu
10.11.19 | oh yeah Elephant is strangely entertaining |
NorwichScene
10.11.19 | I must watch Happy Death Day 2U soon. First one was good
|
artiswar
10.11.19 | The Dirties is so good man. Especially when you realize a script doesn't exist. |
budgie
10.11.19 | "I must watch Happy Death Day 2U soon."
*pukes in mouth* |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | PARANOID PARK is a masterpiece |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | On my Top 50 all time list |
tectactoe
10.11.19 | Pots if you like those, peep his movie GERRY. My favorite Van Sant film and one of my all time favorites too |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.11.19 | nice im gonna rewatch elephant and paranoid park soon and i'll add gerry to the mix |
Gmork89
10.12.19 | What about the CREEP series? Those were surprisingly very entertaining found footage films.
Also I enjoyed Happy Death Day too, not sure about the sequel though never heard one way or another how that one was. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.12.19 | I was gonna try Creep but they only have the sequel on Netflix last I checked haha |
budgie
10.12.19 | yeah pots def watch creep 1 first |
budgie
10.12.19 | creep 1 has legit one of the scariest scenes goodness me |
budgie
10.12.19 | "not sure about the sequel though never heard one way or another how that one was." the sequel was the exact same thing as the first movie. lol. but on top of it they introduced some weird faux sci fi bullshit. |
budgie
10.12.19 | if you really really loved the first one check out the sequel because it's fully just more of the exact same thing but if you thought the first one was just OK the sequel will probably irritate you as it did me |
Rowan5215
10.12.19 | obligatory mention of Coherence and Resolution cos I just scrolled up for ages and they hadn't been mentioned. aight carry on |
budgie
10.12.19 | they were def mentioned in previous thread. great films both of them |
artiswar
10.12.19 | Coherence definitely got mentioned in the pt 1 thread. Fantastic film with no effects or budget. |
budgie
10.12.19 | and it gets extra points because it's not really a horror film yet it's way more horrifying than 99% of horror films |
tectactoe
10.12.19 | Yeah COHERENCE is one of my top 5 films of the last decade, absolutely astonishing film. |
artiswar
10.12.19 | I definitely consider it arthouse horror but it's not really like anything I've ever seen. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.12.19 | Just watched the trailer, didn't really give me much to go off of tho |

10.12.19 | I guess it's about parallel dimensions? But can it top CLOVERFIELD PARADOX!?!?!?!?!?!?! god that movie sucked |

10.12.19 | Coherence? Dude, just watch it. You have nothing to lose. |
zaruyache
10.12.19 | oh i loved coherence when i randomly stumbled onto it. |

10.12.19 | welcome to the party zaru |

10.12.19 | I'm not readin the whole pt 1 thread smh that shit's like a thousand comments
go into Coherence completely blind it's the only way to do it |

10.12.19 | Coherence squad up |
JeetJeet
10.12.19 | Coherence gang ayyyyyyyeeee |

10.12.19 | Yeah Creep is solid. I still need to watch Creep 2. |

10.12.19 | Dude, what the FUCK?!? |
Larkinhill
10.12.19 | Jaws is one of the best films ever made. Disagree all you want, but youāre terribly wrong and I now question your taste in general. |
Gyromania
10.12.19 | It's a shark... Ooooh scary. I mean it would be scary irl but it makes for a pretty w.e movie franchise imo. They had some great practical effects tho I'll give them that |
Larkinhill
10.12.19 | You have lost your goddamn mind, son. |

10.12.19 | "babadook is one of the worst movies ive ever seen in my entire life"
hardest I've ever agreed with pots
also Jaws is boring |

10.12.19 | Fuck you guys.
Does anyone with good taste want to back me up here? |

10.12.19 | Spielberg is probs the most overrated director in the canon |

Gyromania
10.12.19 | Spielberg is shit but Idk why you're hating on Babadook that movie is a breath of fresh air in the horror genre |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.12.19 | In a genre where even the bad movies are at least pretty painlessly dismissable as another mindless entertainment miss, babadook is one of the single most agonizing films OAT |

10.12.19 | I've never seen a horror movie that I've had such an adverse reaction to, makes it really stick out in the mind as a least fav contender |
Gyromania
10.12.19 | Only thing I could see irking people is the kid being annoying af, otherwise it has a great message about harbouring regrets and pushing down your emotions, and some scary imagery |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.12.19 | Thing is we live in a time where horror movies with great parables and lots of substance are plentiful. Having a message isnt worth much when the film itself is excruciating to watch |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.12.19 | The kid, the mom, the stupid catch phrase, the dumb monster, the heavy handed subtext... there are films that can make smothering, maddening atmosphere work but this ain't one |
Faraudo
10.12.19 | Just saw a movie called A Dark Song, and I thought it was a pretty good, atmospheric horror piece. The ending is a hit or miss tho. |
Egarran
10.12.19 | Nobody buys that Jaws trolling. Or you must have seen one of the sequels. |

10.12.19 | Agree that THE BABADOOK is laughably bad. But I will not tolerate this JAWS slander. The most perfectly paced fill of all time.
Also, I was so big into COHERENCE when it came out that I must've watched it six or seven times just to try and "figure out" the time line, and I ended up putting together this chart of what's happening, real time:
https://sites.google.com/a/umich.edu/tectactoe-mvs/home/coherence_new.pdf
Of course the greatest part about the movie is how the ending is parable for indecision and opportunity lost, but how the whole movie also works as a legit sci-fi thriller amazes me. |
Thalassic
10.12.19 | Babadook wasn't all that great no.
For "a breath of fresh air" it turned towards plenty of cliched genre tropes as well. Like the minute I saw the dog I knew it was gonna get its neck snapped. Stuff like that isn't shocking, rather it has become facile horror writing in this day and age. Like "oh look how absolutely MAD she has become! To make sure you REALLY understand how absolutely EVIL this evil is we gonna let her snap a dog's neck!"

10.12.19 | I eventually liked Babadook, despite the annoying kid and the 'subtle' metaphors. It has an emotional layer we don't often see in horror. |

10.12.19 | 1922 wasn't scary |
budgie
10.12.19 | how many horror movies are actually scary? |
Thalassic
10.12.19 | There's plenty of horror movies around that do have unnerving moments, but there aren't a lot that are actually consistently scary/creepy/unnerving/whatever for its entire runtime |
Egarran
10.12.19 | That's a definition thing. E.g. Get Out at least had scary concepts. And sometimes after a horror movie like Alien you are wary when going to the toilet. |
Thalassic
10.12.19 | Get Out was a bit flaccid imo |

10.12.19 | peele is overrated for sure |
tectactoe
10.12.19 | Horror movies are rarely "scary" because we're all cognizant adults and understand that this stuff isn't real, but I still think horror movies have the capability to be eerie or creepy or unsettling, even considering their context of not being "real".
That said, here are some films that have made me truly uneasy or unsettled. Some of them might require a certain setting (e.g., BLAIR WITCH PROJECT needs to be seen alone, in the dark, with a good sound system -- you won't have the same effect watching it in the daytime with a group of friends), but they've all managed to get under my skin to some degree:
* FREAKS (Browning, 1932)
* VAMPYR (Dreyer, 1932)
* EYES WITHOUT A FACE (Franju, 1960)
* THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (Hooper, 1974)
* ERASERHEAD (Lynch, 1977)
* DEAD RINGERS (Cronenberg, 1988)
* LOST HIGHWAY (Lynch, 1997)
* THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (Sanchez, 1999)
* MULHOLLAND DRIVE (Lynch, 2001)
* IRREVERSIBLE (Noe, 2002)
* BIRTH (Glazer, 2004)
* PRIMER (Carruth, 2004)
* DAY NIGHT DAY NIGHT (Loktev, 2006)
* BLACK SWAN (Aronofsky, 2010)
* UNDER THE SKIN (Glazer, 2013)
* THE EYES OF MY MOTHER (Pesce, 2016)
* IT COMES AT NIGHT (Shults, 2017) (shut up guys, it's a good movie)
* THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER (Lanthimos, 2017) |
tectactoe
10.12.19 | also if you guys are into short films, Peter Tscherkassky makes some absolutely skin-crawling masterpieces that are only like 10-15 minutes long. My favorites are: DREAM WORK (one of my Top 15 all time films), OUTER SPACE, INSTRUCTIONS FOR A LIGHT AND SOUND MACHINE, and THE EXQUISITE CORPUS.
You used to be able to find them on YouTube but it might be hard to find them nowadays (copyright and all that). But they are well worth your time to seek out. |

10.12.19 | The Favourite was good but I couldn't really get over how un-alien it felt for a Lanthimos film. Need to rewatch with tempered expectations. Dogtooth and Sacred Deer are my faves |

10.12.19 | My expectations were too high for Dogtooth. It's fucked up, but not a lot more. |

10.12.19 | i watched dogtooth when it was on shudder and thought it was dumb as shit :-( |

10.12.19 | Egarran maybe you're right but if it's the first Lanthimos film you see (which it was for me), it will always seem a lot more fucked up.

Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.12.19 | My favourite things in those movies is when people are like "SAY SOMETHING MICHAEL! TALK TO ME! DO SOMETHING" like they are expecting a character crack to reveal genius |

10.12.19 | Ah right that would be good for the environment I get it |

10.12.19 | SAY SOMETHING MICHAEL
Michael: "....mmmmuh" |
TheNotrap
10.12.19 | The idea of having an old Michael is interesting, but it wasn't exploited properly...except for the first long run camera scene, Michael's deaths were somewhat banal. I didn't particularly like the way Laurie's character evolved. The final scenes at her house are somewhat mediocre. |
Trebor.
10.12.19 | Michael, oh my god, he's going to say his first words
"So.......so much for the tolerant left" |
budgie
10.12.19 | i enjoyed the film, except for the last act, which was all taking place in that claustrophobic house setting. it was just completely lacking any suspense and i felt prettty booooored. the first two thirds of the film were pretty sweet though
the intro was kind of cheese though |
TheNotrap
10.12.19 | Laurie's son-in-law barely showed up, we knew he was going to die...I think the horror narrative in 2019 should be more evolved. |

10.12.19 | I straight up hated that new Halloween |

"A brilliant painter facing the worst creative block of her life turns to anything she can to complete her masterpiece, spiraling into a hallucinatory hellscape of drugs, sex, and murder in the sleazy underbelly of Los Angeles."
It sounded great until the location was revealed. |

10.13.19 | Watched Annihilation and I honestly really liked it. Takes some time to get the show started and it doesn't feel fully fleshed out pace-wise, but there's quite a few extremely memorable scenes (the found footage in that swimming pool, the bear thing, the alien/Tool puppet at the end) that make it worthwhile. Not fully a horror movie tho, more like a dark sci-fi flick with some 'disturbing' elements.
Saw that Turkish movie Baskin as well. Really liked that one too. Plays out like a nightmarish fever dream. |

10.13.19 | Yeah, Annihilation is nice |

it's basically a painter doing some really eerie painting who starts tripping on really powerful drugs and slowly breaks down emotionally from it, with Electric Wizard playing in the background. It was fine. |
Larkinhill
10.14.19 | Saw that Turkish movie Baskin as well. Really liked that one too. Plays out like a nightmarish fever dream.
Annihilation is indeed great. And I had forgotten about Baskin. That was a pretty insane and batshit movie. I was definitely entertained, Iāll say that. |

10.14.19 | watched ep3 butt, the genie segment finally actually felt like creepshow |

10.14.19 | did you like the halloween segment tho?! That's my favorite one so far. But agreed, genie felt more like creepshow (tho house of the head is still the most-creepshow segment)
The Devil's Candy was fuckin awesome btw |
budgie
10.14.19 | house of the head was too pg to be creepshow! |
butt.
10.14.19 | i mean kinda, but considering it was a kid's toy, it's kinda graphic? and creepy at the very least |
budgie
10.14.19 | it should've been more menacing or threatening or something, it felt so safe. in all or almost all the original creepshow segments you have pretty clear implications of horrific deaths or torture, which is why the genie finally felt like a creepshow segment. house of the head just felt more like goosebumps or something, it was cute |

10.14.19 | did yall fuck with The Void ? Homage to Doom, The Thing and Hellraiser but I enjoyed it. |
Gmork89
10.14.19 | Yeah The Void was pretty good, I watched that one twice, the creatures were pretty disturbing.
Honestly looking back, The Conjuring and Conjuring Two are more enjoyable than IT chapter 1 for me. IT was a total mess as far as the pace and Pennywise is so underutilized in place of dumb CGI jumpscares, that I can't give it a pass in retrospect just because I like the characters/acting and world.
The Conjuring series at least knows what its trying to do, I look at them almost more like adventure films in a horror setting and in that way I still find them entertaining and well made. |

10.14.19 | definitely not terrible i agree, but certainly not memorable in any capacity either, and i don't remember feeling like i was watching anything special |

10.14.19 | Oh those home snuff clips in Sinister are some of the only recent things in mainstream horror that I remember unnerving me. They're disturbing at their least and downright alarming at their worst. Especially the soundscapes in those clips. Absolutely terrifying.
Too bad the second part of the movie we get one too many shots of Marilyn Manson dressed up in a Slipknot mask. |

10.14.19 | The Conjuring was a great horror film, if not a little too familiar. The second one was very meh though. Too overstuffed, too many ghosts etc. Speaking of Wan, the Insidious series is the one thatās overrated.
Sinister benefits from the really sinister (lol) vibe given off by the videos and Ethan Hawks giving a solid performance. The story itself is just ok. I remember not really being that impressed after seeing it in theaters, but enjoyed it much more the second time.
And I expected Sinister 2 to be absolutely god awful. I was surprised to find out it was actually pretty decent. |

10.14.19 | oooh. i don't know the source material but i have a personal head canon for gerald's game that makes the film more palatable: the super cheesy happy ending was just death-euphoria fantasies in her head as she was dying of dehydration. otherwise it's just too saccharine and perfect to appreciate |

10.15.19 | idk i read a while back that duplass was a big fan of shapiros talks and it just kind of soured my perception of him you know? i loved the film he did with aubrey plaza too but it's like, jeez dude really? |
tectactoe
10.15.19 | Duplass's best film is BLUE JAY. It would be one of the best romance films of the decade if not for a single scene that lasts approximately two minutes. (YOUR SISTER'S SISTER is also good.) |

10.15.19 | looking at it now, lol, is it possible to watch the film without expecting him to go nuts and chop at her head with an axe? |

Larkinhill
10.15.19 | What's the general opinion on that movie Session 9 here?
Absolutely love that movie. Has such an insane creep factor and the setting is eerie as hell. I also really personally like the twist. Acting is very solid all around for the most part as well. |

10.15.19 | The only time I really canāt separate art from the artist is if it involves child molestation/pedophilia type crap ā and no, not Jesse Lacey because I still listen to the fuck out of BN ā more like Lostprophets (not that I ever listened to them in the first place but, If I did, I woulda dropped them immediately once I found out). |

10.16.19 | Any of you motherfuckers seen Haunt? On blu Ray and limited release this week. Set in an extreme haunted house and is actually getting really good reviews from some of the top critics. I have it coming from Netflix in a day or two...but have any of you seen it yet? |
Larkinhill
10.16.19 | Another movie I havenāt seen mentioned here ā The Harvest with Michael Shannon. Came out a few years ago. Solid as fuck. Speaking of Michael Shannon, Take Shelter and Bug are fucking masterpieces and fit into the psychological horror genre. |

10.16.19 | horror's not my genre and idek if this would count as such more just psychological drama i guess but dogtooth is one of the best films of the century so far

10.16.19 | dogtooth was on shudder so it's definitely in the conversation |
butt.
10.16.19 | I'm stoked to see Haunt. so it's coming to netflix soon? Or am I misreading that |
butt.
10.16.19 | last night I watched Bad Moon (1996) and Tales of Halloween (2015) |
budgie
10.16.19 | i actually rewatched half of tales of halloween the other night! i love goofy anthologies so much. how was bad moon? |
butt.
10.16.19 | a lot better than i expected. The animatronic wolf looked great, but the transformation scene uses some of the worst CGI I've seen in my entire life.
the lead actor was literally a german shepherd and he kicked ass. |
Larkinhill
10.16.19 | Haunt is coming on Netflix this week in blu Ray form, not sure whether itāll be steaming or not.
Also, watched Brightburn last night. Loved some of the horror elements , but overall derivative, cheesy and horrible acting from the kid. |
wwf
10.16.19 | dogtooth is fucking awesome and anyone who disagrees is loved and respected |
wwf
10.16.19 | oh man I fucking hated Brightburn. my audience laughed through a lot of it |
budgie
10.16.19 | reminds me of late phases a bit, blind man and his awesome dog fighting werewolves |
Larkinhill
10.16.19 | Yeah it was pretty damn laughable.
Add me to the list of Dogtooth fans. |
wwf
10.16.19 | dogtooth also is more uncomfortable than almost any horror movie so I feel like that's a point in the 'um fine sure yeah it's a horror movie why not' category |

10.17.19 | Evil Dead II tries too hard to function simultaneously as a (1) remake, (2) sequel, and (3) spoof of the original and feels super muddled as a result. One of the things that made the original so great, too, was that it wasn't *quite* so self-aware of its own schlockiness. |

on halloween18, itss like a guilty pleasure 7. craftwise it's great, camerawork/acting/fx/pacing are solid and gotta love the new carpenter themes. it was awesome to see jaime lee curtis again buuut shes pretty much playing sarah connor from terminator 2, at least she's having more fun here than 2 or h2o. my issues with h18 are almost the same as all the halloween sequels; stock ass characters, bizarre ass subplots, and it's same formula again just less subtle. haaated that opening mental institution scene where the patients start barking at the myers mask. it's probably in the top 5 halloweens tho, and it's probably better than anything past halloween 4 |

10.19.19 | lol i rented last house when i was like 11 trying to find wes craven stuff, the 'from the producer of friday the 13th' tag sold me, i will say it holds up better than the hills have eyes buuuut it does look like a golden age porno, it wouldve been reaaaallly dated if wes craven actually made a roughie. funny games is good but not for everyone, definitely pretentious as fuck but i'd take it over 'the strangers' any day. the french version is a lil more unnerving cuz the intruders just look like randos and not a jared leto/maculay culkin fanclub, the american vers is more funnier with michael pitt.
edit : lmao whoops it isss in fact austrian, i blame old imdb 'knowledge', i actually have the fox labor dvd and never noticed |

Larkinhill
10.19.19 | The original Last House is so incredibly outdated. Pretty much canāt stand it at this point. The remake is actually pretty good. Pre-Breaking Bad Jesse Pinkman plays one of the baddies.
Speaking of Wes Craven remakes, I fucking love the Hills Have Eyes remake. Far better than the original. |

BAT
10.19.19 | yeah the hills have eye remake was one of the best horror theater experiences i've had, it was opening night/packed and everyone was cheering throughout the 2nd half. the sequel to the remake however, is one of the worst movies i've seen in theaters |
budgie
10.19.19 | as far as remakes go,
am i the only one who likes cabin fever remake more than the og?
also, maaaaaaybe the 2009 remake of friday the thirteenth is the best in the franchise. maaaaaaybe. i like 4 and 6 but it's a close call. |
Thalassic
10.19.19 | The 2013 Cabin Fever is godawful imo
Still got a soft spot for the go Cabin Fever. That hillbilly "swing low sweet chariot" rendition at the end always puts me in a good mood. |
BAT
10.19.19 | i haven't seen the cabin fever remake buut i don't mind the original, the second one by umm Ti West iirc is pretty fuckin gross. friday the 13th remake didnt do much for me but i wouldn't say its among the worst of the franchise, the elmstreet remake was less inspired |
Thalassic
10.19.19 | I would've liked the Friday the 13th remake better if it would've had insane kills
The kills are frustratingly bland in that movie |
budgie
10.19.19 | you serious? that sleeping bag kill was is probably the first thing that comes in mind if i were to think of "best kills in slasher films" |

10.19.19 | elm street remake was super tepid but the scene in the convenience store was awesome. |

10.19.19 | my pitch is to have the remake jason actually turn out to be on earth 2 and he teams up with uber jason |
BAT
10.19.19 | the added attention to the effects of sleep deprivation was an interesting angle but they forget about it by like halfway thru |
Thalassic
10.19.19 | The sleeping bag one is probably the only memorable kill in the movie. Started off strong enough, but the carnage got way too flaccid. Definitely needed more guts and limbs flying around |
budgie
10.19.19 | it's just a weird critique. because i am thinking of the franchise through the 80s and i am not recalling any limbs or guts flying around |
Thalassic
10.19.19 | Well I never was a fan of the franchise to begin with
I like the first one but that's more nostalgia speaking |
Larkinhill
10.19.19 | the sequel to the remake however, is one of the worst movies i've seen in theaters
šÆ. I also saw the first opening night with my soon fo be wife. She fucking haaaated it but I absolutely loved it. |
Larkinhill
10.19.19 | Didnāt like the F13 remake personally. Jason Lives (part six) is best. Iām friends with the director and he was on board to direct one of my scripts for awhile, so Iām a little biased. But it was my favorite before we met also. |
budgie
10.19.19 | yep 6 is probably the best. that's super cool dude |
Thalassic
10.19.19 | Do your scripts have limbs or guts flying around? |
Larkinhill
10.19.19 | Haha, some of them have a lil bit of that. But my scripts are more psychological/supernatural type horror. Jacobās Ladder is a huge inspiration to me. Stuff in that vein. |

Thanks brother. Working on it. |

10.20.19 | Saw Eli last night, some good scares but the ending was dreadful |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.20.19 | my only problem with cabin in the woods was that i would have actually liked to have seen more of all the horrors kept in the underground facility. fun ride but yeah shit was lit in the basement. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.20.19 | "my pitch is to have the remake jason actually turn out to be on earth 2 and he teams up with uber jason"
is uber jason like the 2019 version of jason where he's an uber driver |
BAT
10.20.19 | nah thats my taxi driver 2 pitch |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.20.19 | lmao |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.20.19 | hold up tho. would it be called Taxi Driver 2: Uber Driver or would it be more of a soft-reboot or Halloween '18 type deal and just be called Uber Driver |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.20.19 | and would it star jaoquin phoenix as bickles the clown? |
BAT
10.20.19 | halloween 18 type of deal, the cab company goes under than de niro goes to get uber certified, he also vapes |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.20.19 | this is almost as thrilling of a premise as the flood of topical b-thrillers about social media and cellphones |
BAT
10.20.19 | jody foster would probably get gunned down in like the first 20 mins. annnd that reminded me of 'cellular' |
Lord(e)Po)))ts

10.20.19 | lmao, i'm surprised the hellraiser series never gave pinhead an email address. last like computertech horror movie i saw was untraceable, i think some kid put colin hanks in an acid tank cuz someone upped his dads death to youtube or someshit |
budgie
10.20.19 | i kinda hate cabin in the woods but i cant figure out why |
BAT
10.20.19 | is it bad that my fav joss whedon movie is alien resurrection |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.20.19 | lol @bat goddammit our generation sucks
re: cabin in the woods
i didnt see it for a few years after it was released and really had no knowledge of the premise whatsoever so what i was expecting was really face-value. i thought it was going to be just another run-of-the-mill serious cabin haunt thriller. so when it turned out to be pretty tongue in cheek and over the top i was pleasantly surprised. a case where my false preconceptions benefited the end product |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.20.19 | "is it bad that my fav joss whedon movie is alien resurrection"
no because joss whedon sucks so fair enough |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.21.19 | Anyone seen this "await further instructions" movie |
budgie
10.21.19 | YES
everyone i spoke to about it hated it but i loved it
|
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.21.19 | Haha I thought it was alright, once it went full camp and the... "wires" started using pops as a meat puppet I was sold. |
budgie
10.21.19 | fuck ya the ending was super camp and super fun |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.21.19 | I also watched kill '68 and it was pretty funny |
Larkinhill
10.21.19 | Got my Midsommar blu Ray in the mail. Hyped to check it out again. Fucking loved it first time. |
budgie
10.21.19 | i can act out the entire screenplay check this out
wahhhhh wahhh
boo hoo wahhhhh
wahhh wahhhhh boo hoo wahhhhhhhh
wahhh
i can do hereditary too
wahhhhhh wahhhh boo hoo
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh mommy wahhhhhhhhh |
Larkinhill
10.21.19 | My god man, you are GOOD. You the real motherfucker. |
budgie
10.21.19 | haha i'm just the funniest guy |
Larkinhill
10.21.19 | This guy fucks. |
Egarran
10.21.19 | spoiler alert goddammit budgie |
budgie
10.21.19 | lol |
butt.
10.21.19 | watched Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown yesterday. both terrifying, I'm still shook.
also watched You're Next. God I love that fucking movie. Funny as hell. |
budgie
10.21.19 | just googled halloweentown and holy shit this is a trip. gonna check it and be overwhelmed with nostalgia probably
hocus pocus is awesome dood |
butt.
10.21.19 | alright help pick which movie I watch tonight. Narrowed it down to:
Suspiria 1977, American Werewolf in London, Clownhouse, Dead Alive, or Hell House III |
budgie
10.21.19 | have you never seen american werewolf in london? |
butt.
10.21.19 | I have. Love it |
butt.
10.21.19 | I've seen all of these except Hell House LLC III |
budgie
10.21.19 | ah well then.
i'm curious about hell house III (you mean from the hell house LLC franchise?)
the 2nd was awful so. idk if maybe the first one was just a one hit wonder sort of thing |
budgie
10.21.19 | is clownhouse decent? i've never heard of it but looks fun
(you should watch sleepaway camp part II) |
butt.
10.21.19 | seen it mate. not that good but I still love it. Clownhouse is pretty fun and obscure. Same guy who directed the Jeepers Creepers movies, who has been largely shamed because he molested the main child actor in clownhouse during filming. the movie was kind of given the hush treatment because of the whole ordeal and physical copies are pretty hard to come by
there's little to no gore but great atmosphere. simple plot. knowing what was really going on with the kid/director definitely gives it a more grim feel. |
butt.
10.22.19 | Watching Nosferatu 1979. Anyone else seen it? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.19 | Yoooooo The Eyes of My Mother is fucking lit |
Larkinhill
10.23.19 | Nope, but the original Nosferatu is one of my favs.
Yāall seen The Skin I Live In and Goodnight Mommy? Two great fucked up and creepy ass movies. |
budgie
10.23.19 | am watching remake of rabid rn didnt raelize there was one
goodnight mommy was eh for me |
Larkinhill
10.23.19 | Budgie ā but have you seen The Skin I Live In? Goodnight Mommy is pretty good, but TSILI is phenomenal. A Pedro Almodovar movie so itās very art house horror. |
BAT
10.23.19 | lol they remade rabid? does it still spread via the booby hug |
butt.
10.23.19 | goodnight mommy was a solid 7.5 / 10 for me |
budgie
10.23.19 | spreads via zombie bite |
BAT
10.23.19 | boooooooo, BOOOOOOOOOO. on a side note check out cronenbergs previous movie 'shivers', tis fucked |
Trifolium
10.23.19 | Omg just here to say Buffy is still so cooooooool. A cheerleader went up in flames, a hot teacher turned out to be a praying mantis, a traumatized boy made everyone's nightmares come true, a demon was invoked and ended up in the school's computers making everyone crazy (there was a technopagan too who digitally cleansed the school again). The list goes on.
So much fun! |
budgie
10.23.19 | did you see the episode with the floating men who stole everyone's voice |
Trifolium
10.23.19 | No not yet! Almost finished watching season 1 now. But I'm in love, that series is adorable. |
Trifolium
10.23.19 | Eeeeew yuck and the one with the puppet, that one was seriously creepy. |
Gyromania
10.23.19 | is fire walk with me any good? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.19 | I mean its essential to understanding the Return and if you like the darker side of twin peaks then yeah ull love it |
Gyromania
10.23.19 | I need confirmation on the following: TheDevil's Backbone, Rosemary's Baby, Scream tv series
|
Larkinhill
10.23.19 | Devilās Backbone is solid. Rosemaryās Baby is a fucking classic, one of my fav horror movies (if a little outdated). Havenāt seen the Scream series. |
budgie
10.23.19 | larkin you mean the scream tv series or the film series |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.19 | Scream tv series is addicting I'm not sure I'd call it "good" |
Larkinhill
10.24.19 | Tv series. Iāve definitely seen all the movies, but only really like the first two. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | the charm of the scream tv series for me is that it's unintentionally funny. |
budgie
10.24.19 | am watching TRASH FIRE. marissa nadler track some up halfway through |
butt.
10.24.19 | Lost Boys |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | Watch the eyes of my mother u twats |
Rowan5215
10.24.19 | I'm so excited for Trifolium to see the unironically good seasons of Buffy and not just the ironically good one. wish I could do that journey for the first time |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | Why would you subject him to that |
Rowan5215
10.24.19 | well it's the greatest show of all time for starters, |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | Jdhsjskfkkfndudbzdj |
budgie
10.24.19 | hbo rome is the greatest show
i won't allow any dissent |
Trifolium
10.24.19 | It's so good agreed Rowan! The writing is super tight, every scene, line, moment has a purpose, dialogue is great, concepts are creative, loving it.
When does it get bad? I hope not anytime soon. |
Rowan5215
10.24.19 | ...no you're in the bad season now dude hahah. it gets so so much better from about episode 7-8 of s2, by the time you're in s3-s5 you're talking one of the best runs of TV I've ever seen. 6 and 7 are pretty controversial and not universally loved, but you've still got some absolutely killer shit to look forward to |
Trifolium
10.24.19 | Oh haha! Nice! Looking forward to it. If I think these are good already, imagine what will happen when I get there... |
Larkinhill
10.24.19 | Fuck, maybe I should finally watch Buffy too. It came on when I was a teen or so, but I donāt think Iāve ever seen even a full episode. |
Trifolium
10.24.19 | I can only say: do it. If I'm enjoying it so much already despite it apparently being seen as the least great season of the whole show. Super creative and fun. |
Egarran
10.24.19 | I can confirm Rowan's Buffy research. |
Trifolium
10.24.19 | The truthfulness level increases. |
Egarran
10.24.19 | Yeah at s. 6/7 it became to serious for the fragile missus, so with shame I must admit we never finished it.
This is the same person who squealed with glee when Deadpool got ripped in half by Juggs. Her gore acceptance seems pretty random. |
tectactoe
10.24.19 | Just finished my Top 100 Films of the Decade list, going to publish soon on RYM. I would love to post it here as well but Sputnik's list creation tool is absolute ASS and probably not worth the effort. |
butt.
10.24.19 | I've also never seen Buffy. Didn't realize how beloved it was. Where is it streaming? |
Trifolium
10.24.19 | I've downloaded it, super oldskool. |
Egarran
10.24.19 | Well, don't I feel old now. I suppose it is like me watching WW2 footage. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | Rowan do u deadass like biffy the vampire princess better than twin peaks |
butt.
10.24.19 | has anyone watched Castle Rock? Is it good? |
Trifolium
10.24.19 | Buffy the vampire Princess would probably be awesome.
Still haven't ever seen Twin Peaks. Such a monolith, waiting for the right moment. |
budgie
10.24.19 | trash fire was eh
sound track was awesome |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | I just watched nocturnal animals and I dunno how I feel about it. I think it could have been good but instead it was just kind of immature |
budgie
10.24.19 | watchi marianne now and i love it |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | Is it better than that shitty hill house show? |
budgie
10.24.19 | it's better i think |
butt.
10.24.19 | Lol fuck you. Hill house is a goddamn masterpiece |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | K I'll give it a shot. Also guys fill me in. What was behind the spooky DOOR in hill house? I stopped watching after 2 or 3 episodes |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | That Rocky Dennis lookin foot face bitch just ugh |
Larkinhill
10.24.19 | Lol fuck you. Hill house is a goddamn masterpiece (2)
Show was fucking fantastic. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | WHAT WAS BEHIND THE DOOR |
Larkinhill
10.24.19 | Lord ā I loved Nocturnal Animals. G-haal and Michael Shannon are so good in it. |
Larkinhill
10.24.19 | Youāll have to watch to find out. |
Larkinhill
10.24.19 | Btw ā doing a double feature of sorts Tonight at the theater. Bought tix for The Lighthouse at 8:30, then bought tix to immediately go see Parasite at 10:40. Incredibly hyped.
Then I have Dr Sleep to look forward to. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | Agreed shannon was awesome especially, I hate amy Adam's tho |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.19 | I just asked my coworker what was behind the door he explained it so ha |
Trebor.
10.24.19 | The Lighthouse is the best movie of the decade |

Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | its pretty nice tho, would be a good song to try on sundresses to |
Rowan5215
10.25.19 | "Rowan do u deadass like biffy the vampire princess better than twin peaks"
I mean depends how ur askin. Twin Peaks is better, no doubt, but Buffy wins on personal impact. couldn't explain how without you having an encyclopedic knowledge of both and several paragraphs from me lol. but Buffy is the ultimate comfort food basic but great show that evolves into shit that stands up there with the best of TV and that means a lot |
budgie
10.25.19 | memoryhouse is best music |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | well you might just convince me to give it a real go yet
but from my recollection of seeing random eps on tv when i was young it just seemed like such a joke and i cant stand sarah michelle gellar or alyson hannigan |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | or michelle tracbhtenberger but im not entirely convinced that her and hannigan are different people to begin with |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | oh wow or eliza dushku who is also apparently in it and who im also not sure is a different actress than hannigan and trachtenbergerlerg |
Rowan5215
10.25.19 | If you can't stand Alyson Hannigan aka the best girl next door cute girl literally of all time I don't know if I can save you... but yeah fwiw everyone thinks it's pretty silly from individual eps |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | she's stupid in the face imo |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | somethin about that late 90s early 00s girl next door aesthetic in general is like the most off-putting aesthetic to ever exist |
budgie
10.25.19 | what did you just see about jennifer love hewitt in i know what you did last night slash katie holmes in disturbing behavior |
Stormheart
10.25.19 | Bela Lugosi had one of the best presenses ever on film and we wont see that again ever. always praise |

10.25.19 | uuugh if you make a horror thread put horror in it this is lunacy |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | id honestly rank whatever fashion sensibilities cave-men had over womens fashion in the early 00s |

10.25.19 | based |
budgie
10.25.19 | "somethin about that late 90s early 00s girl next door aesthetic in general is like the most off-putting aesthetic to ever exist"
5.0 classic
Slayyyter Slayyyter |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | given all the other context i think you can pretty easily deduce that i was talking about fashion if you use a brain cell or two |
Stormheart
10.25.19 | whoever thinks jaws is a horror movie is still 3 years old where is richard jeni when you need him |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | i think, using those two same brain cells, you could also deduce that that's a troll rating |
Stormheart
10.25.19 | so your saying she put a film she doesnt like but then halloween which was her first on her ranked movies of all time? kek |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | are you having half a conversation with yourself? |
Stormheart
10.25.19 | you know what i meant and im serious why make a thread about 3 terrible movies and 1 good one |
Stormheart
10.25.19 | seems she doesnt watch much older horror the best kind |
budgie
10.25.19 | suck my dick |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | thread is just for talkin about horror movies in general |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | but i do enjoy this thing where you keep referring to budgie as a "she" |
Stormheart
10.25.19 | cooooom |
Stormheart
10.25.19 | all i know from her posts and pic shes a she |
Larkinhill
10.25.19 | I just asked my coworker what was behind the door he explained it so ha
Oh goddamnit. |
Larkinhill
10.25.19 | The Lighthouse is the best movie of the decade
LOL thatās a bit rich. Not even close tbh, but I just saw it and it was absolutely fucking fantastic. So batshit insane in the best way. Pattison and Dafoe were incredible.
But whatever you do, just never admit to Dafoe that you donāt like his cooking. Yet especially fond of his lobster. Tell him that and all will be well. As long as you donāt drink too much of the kerosene (seriously, these motherfuckers need AA hard lol). |
Larkinhill
10.25.19 | Seagulls are the new Black Phillips. Also, this movie has more masturbation and farting than youāre probably expecting lol. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.25.19 | Shut up dude ur spoilin shit |
butt.
10.25.19 | I'm very stoked for the lighthouse but idk if theaters around me are playing it
and yeah budgie is one sassy black lady |
Larkinhill
10.25.19 | Shut up dude ur spoilin shit
Canāt tell if youāre kidding, but if not, Iām really not spoiling anything. I wouldnāt do you like that. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.26.19 | Mostly kidding
Digging marianne |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.26.19 | Even though french people shouldnt have rights |
Larkinhill
10.26.19 | Havenāt heard of Marianne. Where are you watching it? Netflix, prime etc? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.26.19 | netflizzle |
JeetJeet
10.27.19 | Goddamn the new Child's Play is terrible lol. I had low expectations for it but I love me some Aubrey P so I decided to check it out. It was garbology. |
budgie
10.27.19 | it ruled bitch |
Gyromania
10.27.19 | Yeah Marianne was good for a couple-few eps, same as Hill House. Overall 5/10 for both. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | Iām on second last ep and itās remained the same quality so far |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | Nvm the scene where seby and Emma hook up just happened everything is ruined |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | Ngl the baby miraculously being ok grinds my gears |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | At least the aforementioned sex scene makes sense now |
budgie
10.27.19 | idk what episode i fell asleep it but i remember uhh the blonde girl seeing a little girl apparition under her bed and speaking to it |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | Ya that happened |
budgie
10.27.19 | camile is top char am i right |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | I quite like a lot of the design for the witch and the king demon. The potato sack half mask and dress are marvellous and the bulgy eyed demon and witch forms are great too |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | Yeah she is if solely because sheās literally the only character in the show who is hot in the face |
budgie
10.27.19 | wow all u see in women is sex objects pots u disgust me |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | i just don't like looking at ugly people thats all |
Gyromania
10.27.19 | Marianne became generic and predictable and infinitely less scary as it went. |
Rowan5215
10.27.19 | anyone seen Hagazussa? looks interesting |
budgie
10.27.19 | heard it was dope |
budgie
10.27.19 | im finally watching stranger things |
Larkinhill
10.27.19 | Goddamn the new Child's Play is terrible lol. (2)
Fucking HORRIBLE. Was kinda enjoying it the first 30 mins, then it went from bad to god fucking awful. |
Larkinhill
10.27.19 | Marianne sounds like almost a carbon copy of Carpenterās In the Mouth of Madness.
Regardless, the premise still intrigues me and reviews are great.
And fuck you, Hill House was great from front to back. You guys just donāt GET IT. Right over your heads. Simpletons. |
Larkinhill
10.27.19 | Im finally watching stranger things
Itās never amazing but itās solid throughout. S3>1>2. But theyāre all good. As a child of the 80s, the feel, tone and setting really played to me. |
Rowan5215
10.27.19 | I just watched Midsommar finally, that movie was fucking hilarious lmao. do you guys think Ari Aster has a stipulation in his contract of at least one naked old person per movie? |
Egarran
10.27.19 | What's to get about Hill House?
My gripe with Stranger Things is it has to get _serious_ at certain points. There's no reason for that unless you want to seem _serious_. It's jarring.
And Hopper becomes an absolute moron in S3. Don't ruin my good vibes, man. |
Titan
10.27.19 | watched 3 From Hell last night, damn what a disappointment that was.....i definitely did expect it to be better than it was having enjoyed TDR... |
JeetJeet
10.27.19 | "I just watched Midsommar finally, that movie was fucking hilarious lmao."
Shit had me dying lol. The scene where Christian is trippin balls and the old guy claps in his face had me weaaakkkkk |
Rowan5215
10.27.19 | that was the bit where I had to fucking pause it and take a moment to laugh lmfao. also the backwoods Swedish cultists having a fully functioning lotto system to pick sacrifices? fucking hilarious |
Gyromania
10.27.19 | Larkin you think season 3 of stranger things is the best? Lol dude... Rly? |
Larkinhill
10.27.19 | What's to get about Hill House?
Brah. I was joking. But I do love that show front to back. |
Larkinhill
10.27.19 | Midsommar was awesome and yes, pretty fucking funny at times.
Larkin you think season 3 of stranger things is the best? Lol dude... Rly?
Yessir. Though I never completely loved the shit. Solid 7 out of 10 for me overall.
|
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | Because lotto cranks are so high tech |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | Might as well have tossed in flying cars at that point amirite |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | Also hopper was best in s3 tbh |
Gyromania
10.27.19 | Hopper was an idiot in season 3. And his constant bickering with Joyce was as annoying as it was unconvincing |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | Literally everyone in that show is an idiot and nothing convincing has ever happened in it. Hopper becoming the blunt of the joke in s3 was good comic relief |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.27.19 | "Annoying" and "unconvincing" are definitely the first two words I'd use to describe every single character in the show tho for sure |
Larkinhill
10.27.19 | Yeah Hopper was a big part of what made s3 the most enjoyable. He was awesome gyro, what the fuck!
Speaking of, I ate a gyro for dinner last night. |
budgie
10.27.19 | the characters are pretty much my favorite part of the series so far
and the score!
the writing and story idk and the really heavy handed emotional scenes are idk |
butt.
10.27.19 | About to watch Halloween 1978 and 2018!!! So fucking stoked |
Larkinhill
10.28.19 | Sunday night Halloween week is a great night to do it, or to just watch horror movies in general. |
BAT
10.31.19 | happy halloweeeeeeen, saw the reissue of let the sleeping corpses lie(aka the living dead at manchester morgue) annnd its better than I remembered but still preeetty slow, restorations really good tho movies lookin great. a early night of the living dead ripoff, pre-dawn, kinda pro-environmental hippyish. the zombies obviously inspired lucio fulcis depictions, movie feels like an appropriate "Zombi 1" despite having nothing to do with "zombi ii", oddly enough its been released zombi 3 in certain countries. bruuutally slow buuut one of the best 'zombis'. evil deads playing at the theaters tonight buut idk if I'm goin or not |
budgie
10.31.19 | soo many words man |

budgie

butt.
11.06.19 | Pots YES watching season 2, just got caught up. Loving it |
budgie
11.06.19 | what the fruit is it about |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.06.19 | that looks fun even tho its basically just annihilation again |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.06.19 | @butt season 1 was a hell of a slow burner, loved it in the end, but i just watched episode 1 of season 2 and holy FUCKING shit. so lit. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.06.19 | @budgie its basically a show about the town that all of stephen kings work takes place around but set in modern day and it just has characters, themes, and concepts from all throughout his books intersect. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.06.19 | the second season for instance seems to be an origin story for Anne Wilkes from Misery as well as introducing concepts from Salems Lot
season 1 was about the "thinnys" or intersections of different dimensions from a lot of his books as well as having lots of stuff about shawshank prison and even some the shining shit |
budgie
11.06.19 | any langoliers? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.07.19 | Lol not yet unfortunately |
Egarran
11.07.19 | Budgie, never go near trailers for movies you know you're going to see.
*Taps nose* |
unclereich
11.07.19 | picked up my 4k steenbok of halloween(2018) yesterday. hadn't seen it in a year and it seems way better on second watch. I know people didn't love it but I really enjoyed it |
Thalassic
11.07.19 | I watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 again last night. Love that flick. |
Larkinhill
11.07.19 | Going to see Dr Sleep tonight. Pretty hyped. Love Flanaganās work ā Geraldās Game, Hush, Ouija Origin OG Evil, House on Haunted Hill ā all fantastic. |
Egarran
11.07.19 | >Love that flick.
Oh yeah, with Dennis Hopper? That is actually pretty good.
Never cared for the first. Thought it was the scariest movie ever but it was mostly just a woman running around screaming. |
Larkinhill
11.07.19 | picked up my 4k steenbok of halloween(2018) yesterday. hadn't seen it in a year and it seems way better on second watch
I should give it another look. I thought it was alright, but felt way too generic and derivative (basically TFA of horror movies). |
Larkinhill
11.07.19 | Never cared for the first. Thought it was the scariest movie ever but it was mostly just a woman running around screaming
...you wat? |
Thalassic
11.07.19 | A life without the existence of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a life not worth living |
Thalassic
11.07.19 | Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 tho...there's lots of nostalgia for me attached to that movie. I knew my father owned it on VHS, but he wouldn't let me watch it when I was 13. So one day I called sick for school and my dad was off to work so naturally I grabbed that copy and started watching the movie lol.
I remember the first time I saw that opening scene, the sight of that dude trying to hold his head together after the chainsaw cut it to pieces messed me up pretty good lmao |
Egarran
11.07.19 | I phrased that wrong.
Anyway, TTM had been built up to be this masterpiece of horrific gore that would forever scar you with its uncompromising depravity.
Turns out it was just some moronic merkins being moronic.
Something like Deliverance was way better on all accounts. |
Thalassic
11.07.19 | Egarran...let me warn you...I've shot people's kneecaps over ripping on the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre... |
Egarran
11.07.19 | You make a strong case.
...it's a crappy movie.
*runs away screaming like a teen* |
Thalassic
11.07.19 | That's it!
I hope you ordered your wheelchair! |
budgie
11.07.19 | "Budgie, never go near trailers for movies you know you're going to see."
i know, dude! i really only watch trailers for films i have basically no expectation for. |
budgie
11.07.19 | i saw TTM2 for the first time relatively recently and, while i thought it was fine, i felt it was still sort of beneath the bar set by good 80's horrors |
Thalassic
11.07.19 | ...but most 80's horrors don't feature Dennis Hopper running around with a chainsaw |
budgie
11.07.19 | i'd rather watch chris sarandon seduce girls or kurt russell fight aliens or johnny dep get eaten by a bed |
Thalassic
11.07.19 | I agree with the Kurt Russell fighting Aliens thing, but Fright Night and Elm Street are just alright |
budgie
11.07.19 | i'll slap |
Thalassic
11.07.19 | I'll stab |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.07.19 | Every time I think budgie couldnāt get any more lame he says something retarded like whatever he just said knocking Dennis hopper |
Larkinhill
11.07.19 | speaking of Chris Sarandon, Fright Night is so underrated. One of my favorite horror movies. I wore the hell out of my VHS as a kid. |
budgie
11.07.19 | have you seen the 1988 sequel? seems pretty unknown |
butt.
11.07.19 | never seen it. love the first one though |
Larkinhill
11.07.19 | The sequel is actually surprisingly pretty good. Doesnāt hold a candle to the first, but not bad at all. |
budgie
11.07.19 | if your favorite aspect of fright night og is the peter vincent/charlie brewster duo, part II is basically just as enjoyable. i'll quickly concede though that the monsters/bad guys in the first film are markedly better |
budgie
11.07.19 | speaking of part II's it's been a while since i've seen night of the demons II. that one i do prefer over the original |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.07.19 | I only ever seen the 2010 remake |
budgie
11.07.19 | i couldn't finish the 2010 film because i haaaaaated the reimagining of peter vincent |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.07.19 | All I remember is thinking it was pretty funny
at the time maybe I should watch the OG |
Thalassic
11.07.19 | I do like the vampire makeup in the original Fright Night. They look reasonably grimy. |
budgie
11.07.19 | dude the girlfriend monster is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking awesome makeup. prob the best vamp on film to be honest |
Larkinhill
11.07.19 | NOOOO, dude wtf?! Night of the Demons is one of the best, if not THE best, of all the schlocky 80s horror movies. Such a classic. The cover always freaked me out at the video store lol.
2 was alright, but no contest. That said, I havenāt seen it since I was probably 11/12.
The remake was terrible. I also couldnāt finish it.
Shout out to Return of the Living Dead as well, another one of the best 80s horror movies. |
Larkinhill
11.07.19 | As far as the Fright Night remake goes, it was...ok. Very forgettable, though Colin Farrell was pretty good. The Peter reimagining was really bad from what I rememberā wasnāt he like, some sorta magician in Vegas? |
budgie
11.07.19 | remake being the 2009 one with edward furlong? thought it was alright watch-stupid-college-kids-die popcorn fare.
return of the living dead is of course the crowning champ of 80s horror
but yeah you should rewatch the 2nd one if it has been that long, i honestly do love it more than the original. it's... a 1994 film but still feel like an 80s film. i wouldn't recommend the 1997 film at all. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.07.19 | "watch-stupid-college-kids-die popcorn fare. "
yep thats how i remember it
|
Larkinhill
11.07.19 | Yeah part 3 was god awful from what I remember. Iāll give 2 another watch. About 25 years since I saw it so itās almost like u havenāt seen it at all. I basically remember it being knowingly over the top and campy, and doesnāt Angela turn into some kinda snake near the end? Lol. |
budgie
11.07.19 | fuck yeah dude a dope ass snake-demon. watch it. zoe trilling is intoxicating |
butt.
11.08.19 | Just finished the last episode of Creepshow. Solid series overall and a lot of fun, glad it got renewed for season 2 |
budgie
11.08.19 | are you watching on shudder? if so you should check out the shudder exclusive cold hell. awesoooooome film. maybe more thriller than horror, but still |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.08.19 | Castle rock is better than all the shitty horror shows like hill house |
Rowan5215
11.08.19 | Was really enjoying Castle Rock s1 up until the last three or so episodes turned absolute garbo trash. is s2 better |
Larkinhill
11.08.19 | Damnit, I really need to get Shudder, if only for Creepshow at least.
Iāve heard some mixed things about Castle Rock, but goddamnit, what did I tell yāall about Hill House? It fucking RULES and I will die on this Hill (no pun intended). |
Egarran
11.08.19 | I made it through three episodes.
Is anyone into the Slenderman stuff? Movies and fake docs etc. Is it worth it if you're over 17 yo? |
butt.
11.08.19 | probably not |
Egarran
11.08.19 | Basically I just want to watch that RLM episode about it. |
butt.
11.08.19 | @rowan season 2 is amazing so far |
budgie
11.08.19 | dude egarran the slenderman movie was sooooooooooo good, soooooo
soooooooooooooooooooooo
goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood |
Thalassic
11.08.19 | I appreciate the attention to detail in that Hill House series, but what's up with all of the sappy stuff in that series? |
budgie
11.08.19 | well it's based off some literature so maybe the literature was really heavy on the drama |
Thalassic
11.08.19 | I got a worrying "Bold and the Beautiful" feel from some of the stuff in that series. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.08.19 | "Was really enjoying Castle Rock s1 up until the last three or so episodes turned absolute garbo trash. "
garbo trash take tbh. surprised to hear a garbo trash take on something like this from a twin peaks appreciator
but season 2 is litty af ya. completely different pace, not the slow burner s1 was at all. foot on the gas. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.08.19 | slenderman everything looks terrible |
Larkinhill
11.08.19 | The Slenderman movie is possibly THE BEST horror movie of the past decade. Absolutely terrifying with a tour de force, towering performance from the lead. Such an emotional journey. |
budgie
11.08.19 | larkinhill is on the mark with that comment. absolutely a gargantuan achievement in the arts to be sure. |
butt.
11.08.19 | The Slender PooPoo Man |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.09.19 | no doubt, that 7% RT rating says it all |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.09.19 | oh boy it even has JOEY KING my absolute least favourite 12 year old looking 20 year old currently playing 15 year olds in hollywood |
budgie
11.09.19 | she's in wish upon too which i love. dumb ass highschool kids gettin fuckin killed. love it. seen it like 3x |
Rowan5215
11.09.19 | lol I guess you can draw a Castle Rock-Twin Peaks comparison in that both frequently make no fucking sense, but there's a bit of a difference between david mf lynch doing that and a bunch of writers who apparently did not consult one another at any point in the process just improvising the plot for a season as they apparently did in Castle Rock s1
but yea I'll watch 2 there was enough *potential* in the first season to get me hopeful |
Larkinhill
11.09.19 | no doubt, that 7% RT rating says it all
Lies. Itās a misunderstood masterpiece that will be seen as a classic in the years to come. |

i didn't know that :/, but perhaps that knowledge altered your perspective, as my... non-knowledge did to mine. i made a lot of sense out of the first season personally and everything felt intentional to me. |
Iamthe Nightstars
11.09.19 | I'm four episodes into Creepshow now and not impressed. It seems like every episode is worse than the last one. It kind of just makes me want to watch Tales From the Crypt. |
unclereich
11.09.19 | https://plug.dj/hybrid-theory
|
Larkinhill
11.09.19 | Yeah a part 3 would be cool. Scrolling through all the comments every time is a little annoying. |
Rowan5215
11.09.19 | sorry I meant that's my *impression* of their writing process based on s1 of the show, not that I know that's literally what happened. I mean I would not be in the slightest bit shocked if that turned out to be true given that every episode of that season felt like it was from a different show, but there's no evidence of it or anything |
Rowan5215
11.09.19 | anyway The Invisible Man looks pretty damn good tbh but again: Elizabeth Moss is a Scientologist and that is deeply fucking hilarious |
unclereich
11.09.19 | https://plug.dj/hybrid-theory

Larkinhill
11.09.19 | Yeah Iām def intrigued by the Invisible Man trailer. This is the route they should have taken in the first place (as opposed to the fucking Mummy).
|
Egarran
11.09.19 | But maybe that 7% makes total sense when you see Beware the Slenderman.
Eh probably not. |

11.11.19 | Finally saw THE LIGHTHOUSE. Good shit. Well, it was great shit until one specific moment in the movie, after which it was mostly dumb. But overall, it was good. |

11.15.19 | ngl Doctor Sleep was actually kinda extremely good
not really scary. and needed 10x more Jocelin Donahue. but hella enjoyable movie |
Larkinhill
11.15.19 | Gotta go see Dr Sleep. Heard great things.
Finally watched Haunt yāall. Absolutely loved it. Gonna start Creepshow tonight ā just got Shudder.
Is Hell House LLC worth checking? |
Iamthe Nightstars
11.15.19 | Don't set your expectations too high for Creepshow. |
Larkinhill
11.15.19 | Damn. Had heard pretty good things. But alright, Iām going on. Weāll see. |
Larkinhill
11.15.19 | Nightstars, did you grow up watching the Creepshow movies? Or have you at least seen them and liked them? I grew up with them and also had a bunch of comics ā I donāt mean this in some pretentious way, but basically Iāve heard that if youāre a fan of the movies/comics, then youāll most likely be into the show as theyāve done a good job at capturing the spirit of it.
I dunno, reading/hearing that did give me some expectations going in. But Iāll chime back in. |
Larkinhill
11.15.19 | Just watched the first two eps and Iām loving it so far. Indeed does recapture the tone and feel of the original comics/movies. Canāt wait to watch the rest. |
Egarran
11.15.19 | Was it that thing with Uncle Maggot? |
butt.
11.15.19 | "and needed 10x more Jocelin Donahue" she's in it?!? omg she's my biggest crush
Hell House LLC is dope yeah. Ideally an October watch but yeah still do it. And the Creepshow series was pretty good, if not a bit uneven. I'm really glad they're getting a second season |
Thalassic
11.15.19 | I watched that Trick 'r Treat anthology again
Thought it sucked... |
budgie
11.15.19 | that transformation sccene in trick'r'treat gets me rock hard
@butt. check summer camp 2015, plenty o donahue in it, that movie is sweet and i never ever heard anyone mentioned it ever. like the film doesn't exist. |
budgie
11.15.19 | also donahue is literally my wife irl so hands off boys hands off |
butt.
11.15.19 | weird, never heard of it will do.
@thalassic you're going to hell for what you just said |
Iamthe Nightstars
11.16.19 | @Lark I am a fan of the original Creepshow and bought the comic book a few years ago when it was reprinted. I didn't like this new series because the stories weren't very engaging. Grey Matter was the only story I kind of like because it seemed to be the only one that had a twist to it even though the ending was rushed. I also didn't like how a lot of them felt like they were kind of aimed at a younger audience, like pg-13 feeling. There were a few good actors but mostly the acting was terrible (was not impressed with DJ Qualls performance). It felt like the show got worse with every episode. The apparent low budget on top of it all doesn't help either. Overall it's not that comparable to the original Creepshow, they just put the name on it and used the comic book gimmick. Just felt like a nostalgia cash grab for the most part. |
Rowan5215
11.16.19 | I been crushing on Donahue since you were a jelly baby sized glob in your mother's ovaries @budgie |
Larkinhill
11.16.19 | I watched that Trick 'r Treat anthology again
Thought it sucked...
Whaaaa...??? Dude Trick r Treat is the fucking shit. |
Larkinhill
11.16.19 | Nightstars, I really appreciate the critique man. Though I (mostly) disagree with you, it makes sense at the same time. I donāt know. For the most part I get that Creepshow feel, but Iām only two Eps in. Yeah the Finger/Qualls ep was pretty meh though.
Just watched Hell House LLC and fucking loved it. Reminded me of Blair Witch in the best way, while still retaining a unique identity (somewhat). Good stuff. But the sequels are utter shit, right? |
Larkinhill
11.16.19 | Also came across an Argentinian horror movie on Shudder called Terrified. Looked it up and reviews say itās pretty fucking scary/good. Anyone watched it yet? Iām gonna try to check it tomorrow after I take my kids to Universal. |
Thalassic
11.16.19 | Sorry dudes...I got way too much of a "Goosebumps" vibe off Trick r Treat
At least the werewolf chicks were nice
I've seen that Argentinian movie Aterrados/Terrified. I liked it. It's a bit all over the place, but it got a very eerie vibe and a great atmosphere. |
Larkinhill
11.17.19 | Checking Terrified out now, will prob watch ep 3 of Creepshow after.
Also saw the trailer for Still Born, another Shudder movie with pretty damn good reviews. Need to peep that as well. |
Larkinhill
11.17.19 | And has anyone watched Summer of 84? A good writer friend of mine is buddies with the director and says itās solid but...he is possibly biased. |
Egarran
11.17.19 | Now I remembered Being Human. Anyone seen that? Most people love it, I dont.
Also I wanted to state for the record that werewolves are the worst classic monster.
|
Iamthe Nightstars
11.17.19 | Nah, werewolves are the coolest. There just isn't many good movies about them. |
Egarran
11.17.19 | That seems to be an obvious contradiction. |
budgie
11.17.19 | "Summer of 84?" didn't finish it but i think that was more of just not being in the mood
"Shudder called Terrified" yeah i enjoyed that one for sure
" But the sequels are utter shit, right?" i haven't seen #3 yet but i've read it is a fair bit better than #2. the huge disparity in quality between #1 and #2 has put it off for me for the meantime. but yeah #1 was really nice1
"Nah, werewolves are the coolest. There just isn't many good movies about them." when i was younger werewolves were the absolute scariest monsters. the scene in dog soldiers where that wolf is standing over the bed, oh shit! but yeah, most of the films involving them are not great |
Iamthe Nightstars
11.17.19 | "That seems to be an obvious contradiction"
Uh, how? A monster can be cool and scary but not have many good movies about it. Like slenderman for instance. |
Thalassic
11.17.19 | Lmao I found Goosebumps on Netflix
I forgot all about that intro |
budgie
11.17.19 | "A monster can be cool and scary...Like slenderman for instance."
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............. |
Egarran
11.17.19 | I admit it is a good comparison. |
Larkinhill
11.18.19 | Yeah Terrified was pretty fucking cool. Def had a cool, eerie vibe. The zombie kid at the table was scary as fuck...just waiting for him to move. And when he did...GODDAMN. That part would have brought the house down if it played in theaters.
Gonna continue watching Creepshow tonight. Still have only seen the first two eps. |
budgie
11.18.19 | anyone done seen cold hell on shudder yet? |
Larkinhill
11.18.19 | Nope, lemme know what you think if you watch tho. I definitely wanna watch Still Born next, but I think Iām gonna finish Creepshow first |
budgie
11.18.19 | i saw it (cold hell) a while back, i loved it to death, but it's quite a bit more thriller than horror, but super great. it's german if that matters. i'd still recommend it to anyone who likes the stuff shudder has |
budgie
11.18.19 | stillborn is the short film? |
Larkinhill
11.18.19 | Nope itās feature length ā Shudder exclusive/film. Solid reviews.
How about Tigers Are Not Afraid and Belzebuth? Anyone seen? |
Larkinhill
11.18.19 | Oh man, and I had forgotten about Last Shift ā a few years old. I originally watched on Netflix. Pretty creepy, gnarly stuff. The creature/monster is pretty awesome. |
budgie
11.18.19 | last shift was pretty alright. i liked the scene where the cop walks in to speak with her and *spoilers* |
Larkinhill
11.18.19 | Yeah eps 3 and 4 of Creepshow were very meh. What a disappointment because the first two episodes were pretty damn good, though still inconsistent.
Hereās hoping 5 and 6 are better. Butt/buttboy, where you at man? I know you watched them all. |
butt.
11.18.19 | yup i finished the show. really liked it overall, there were a few duds though. excited they're doing a second season next year |
budgie
11.18.19 | saw the remake of don't be afraid of the dark. watchable because katie holmes omg |
Egarran
11.19.19 | Hehe agree. |
Larkinhill
11.19.19 | Thought Dark was pretty bad tbh, but I havenāt seen it in years. |
budgie
11.20.19 | watching haute tension right now |
Larkinhill
11.20.19 | Love Haute Tension but The Hills Have Eyes is my favorite Aja joint. Love that movie. Speaking of Aja, I unexpectedly really loved Crawl. Took my daughter to see it this summer and we both had a great time.
Just saw that The Taking of Deborah Logan is one Shudder. Such a great underrated movie. I still need to finish the last two eps of Creepshow, but I recently finally got a PS4, started playing The Witcher 3 and I am completely hooked now. Phenomenal game. |
butt.
11.20.19 | agreed, deborah logan is way underrated. legitimately freaky.
also is Haute Tension the same as High Tension im assuming? |
budgie
11.20.19 | yea |
budgie
11.20.19 | crawl was ok. his piranha film is fucking extra, though, i love that one |
Thalassic
12.06.19 | Finally watched Midsommar.
And it's probably a 10/10 for me. |
rockandmetaljunkie
12.06.19 | midsommar has divoded most of the viewers tbh |
butt.
12.06.19 | midsommar a solid 8/10 for me |
IAmScott
12.06.19 | Midsommar didn't cut it for me. Definitely made me feel uneasy and has some great, unique ideas for a horror film, tho.
The Lighthouse was one of the greatest movies I've seen in some time |
budgie
12.06.19 | this year has been shit for horror |

12.06.19 | welcome, minushuman ššš |
Egarran
12.06.19 | Minus what's the scariest movie ever? |
budgie
12.06.19 | lake mungo (minus say lake mungo) |
Egarran
12.07.19 | Maybe he died from joy. |
IAmScott
12.07.19 | Nah he just still reading the whole thread |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.07.19 | anyone seen Climax? |
Minushuman24
12.07.19 | Obviously Lake Mungo |
Minushuman24
12.07.19 | I've actually only seen the first 15 minutes, I fell asleep.
The Thing has always been my favorite horror movie, and I think it's pretty scary so I guess that one.... or Texas Chainsaw
Kind of basic choices I suppose |
Egarran
12.08.19 | Dw my basic choice is Alien.
*It is the perfect movie.*
Why were the seventies such an awesome decade for US movies? |
IAmScott
12.08.19 | Yeah Alien is terrifying I love it |
Minushuman24
12.08.19 | Oh shit, Alien is such a solid choice |
budgie
12.08.19 | "
Why were the seventies such an awesome decade for US movies?"
you meaan the 80sssssssss |
Aerisavion
12.08.19 | āyou meaan the 80sssssssssā
To be fair the 70s and 80s are pretty interchangeable, both had amazing films |
Aerisavion
12.08.19 | The 80s did have The Thing though..... |
wwf
12.08.19 | Kinda deciding if I want to keep watching Marianne again here soon.
I dug the vibe of the first two episodes but I felt like the second episode was all vibe and no plot, and that might work for a movie but for a tv show it's just kinda... boring |
Thalassic
12.08.19 | Marianne after episode 1 is such a disappointing shitefest |
budgie
12.08.19 | fright night & fright night part II, return of the living dead, night of the demons, demons I & II, nightmare on elm street, the blob 88, killer klowns from outer space, night of the creeps, nightmare on elm street 3, friday the 13th 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, evil dead 1 & 2, the thing, reanimator, from beyond, an american werewolf in london, the shining, halloween II, april fool's day, child's play, day of the dead, umm what am i missing... creepshow 1 & 2... sleepaway camp 1 & 2... ummm the fog, aliens
did the 70s have this many awesome films? i dont think ive seen as many kickass 70s horrors. obviously it has some classics: the wickerman, halloween, alien, jaws. just not as many? |
Yep321
12.08.19 | I really liked Climax. Certain scenes reminded me of Suspiria and Possession. Plus they in the stack of vhs at the beginning. |
wwf
12.09.19 | Im watching TigersAre Not Afraid and its really good. The handheld is a bit annoying and the tone is uneven but ir's so imaginitive and unique and gorgeous |
budgie
12.09.19 | word im gonna check this out wwf |
butt.
12.09.19 | just re-watched jack frost the other night. such a good christmas horror jam |
IAmScott
12.09.19 | You mean the movie where the dad dies and becomes a snowman? |
butt.
12.09.19 | lololol no, the far superior version that came out one year earlier. serial killer dies and is reincarnated as snowman. |
IAmScott
12.09.19 | That sounds fucking awesome |
Minushuman24
12.10.19 | I dunno, I've always thought of 70's, especially the later in the decade, as the pinnacle of horror in films. Not only did it produce some of the best horror films ever made, but these films were riding on mainstream success; The Exorcist being the biggest movie in the world is craziness to me. The 80's provided us with some of the most kick-ass horror films ever, but I feel this is partly because there is just so much more put out in that decade, riding of the success of the 70's. I dunno, just my thoughts.
But yeah, some 70's classics that come to mind; The Exorcist, Alien, Halloween, Hausu, Texas Chainsaw, Jaws, The Wicker Man, Suspiria, Eraserhead, Deep Red, Dawn of the Dead.
And there's even a wealth of schlocky radness in there: Tourist Trap, Amityville, Torso, The Crazies, The Hills Have Eyes, the Black Magic series and other Shaw productions, oh and eternal radness of Allucarda.
I guess The Omen too, but that movie sucks |
Minushuman24
12.10.19 | Snowman Michael Keaton is my favorite horror movie villain.
I always shed a tear when he melts away to Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. |
wwf
12.10.19 | Also I did watch Terrified based off some recs in here. It was dope. The different subplots were kind of uneven but the zombie kid one was amazing |
Larkinhill
12.11.19 | Yeah I really liked Terrified. |
budgie
12.11.19 | anyone excited for anything in 2020?
2019 being as bad as it was has kind of ended my decade long horror binge |
Larkinhill
12.11.19 | Not even sure whatās coming in 2020 tbh. |
budgie
12.11.19 | halloween film.. conjuring film.. mm.. grunge film.. not sure if i noticed anything else |
Larkinhill
12.11.19 | Sounds like a lot of stale retreads man. I didnāt even really like the new Halloween. And I love The Conjuring but part 2 was mediocre, and this one wonāt have Wan directing. Not expecting much. The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar was alright I guess, but again, not expecting much.
The best horror movies of 2020 will likely be the independent ones that we donāt really hear much about in advance. Shudder seems to be getting all the best ones lately. So fucking glad it exists man. |
budgie
12.11.19 | indie stuff has definitely been the majority of my decade favs for sure |
Thalassic
12.11.19 | Terrified made no sense at all, but was actually kinda creepy |
Larkinhill
12.11.19 | The dead boy at the table, holy fuck. Great creepy atmosphere. Made the movie. |
wwf
12.11.19 | Terrified not making sense was kind of the point though
Like the last scene with the female psychologist definitely drove that home, she straight up said it couldn't be explained |
wwf
12.11.19 | Gretel and Hansel looks pretty good, that's coming out next year. Done by Oz Perkins, who did The Blackcoats Daughter, one of my favorite movies ever
Also if you guys havent seen the trailer for Antebellum, you guys should really check it out, it looks fucking awesome |
Larkinhill
12.12.19 | Gretel and Hansel looks pretty good, that's coming out next year. Done by Oz Perkins, who did The Blackcoats Daughter, one of my favorite movies ever
Yeah man itās one of my favorites as well. The creepy vibe and sense of dread are unparalleled. Iāll watch anything Oz does now. And you may all know this, but Oz is actually Anthony Perkinsā (Norman Bates) son.
Oh man and totally agree on Antebellum. Looks fucking great. But I feel itās one of those movies where the less you know walking in, the better. Gonna stop reading about it or watching trailers. Someone told me thereās actually a big spoiler in the trailer so I refuse to re-watch because Iām afraid Iāll figure out what it is lol. |
Larkinhill
12.12.19 | Looking forward to ANTLERS as well. Looks pretty great. Just hope it doesnāt end up being really formulaic drivel. Buddy of mine tells me the short story itās based on is incredible and creepy as fuck with some great twists. |
Egarran
12.12.19 | How many have seen The House That Jack Built?
Cuz I don't wanna. |
Larkinhill
12.12.19 | Havenāt seen it yet but do really want to. Would watch it if there were a way! Is it ever gonna get a US Blu Ray release? Shit is ridiculous. |
wwf
12.12.19 | Yeah I have no interest in that movie either. Looks miserable |
wwf
12.12.19 | Looks like the Lighthouse is coming on digital the 20th, so Ill finally get to watch it lmao |
Larkinhill
12.12.19 | All Lars von Trier movies are miserable, but theyāre (mostly) still great. Breaking the Waves? Fantastic, but INCREDIBLY depressing film. Melancholia is fucking great also.
His best film is Antichrist though. That movie is a straight up 4 star masterpiece. |
wwf
12.13.19 | Ebert scale huh?
I really like Melancholia and Nymphimaniac. Not huge on Antichrist but I feel like that one's kind of hate it or love it |
Larkinhill
12.13.19 | Looks like the Lighthouse is coming on digital the 20th, so Ill finally get to watch it lmao
Itās fantastic man. Definitely gonna buy on blu Ray.
Yeah Nympho is pretty good, but I prefer Breaking, Melancholia, Dogville and Antichrist. Yes, Antichrist is the epitome of a love it or hate it movie, but Iād encourage you to give it a second look sometime. Itās an incredible film (imo at least). |
Larkinhill
12.13.19 | Just discovered that The House That Jack Built will (finally) be released on blu Ray Feb 4th (directors cut). Just pre ordered. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.13.19 | House that jack built is fantastic |
Egarran
12.13.19 | Antichrist +1 holy fuck what a good movie.
But nothing about Jack makes want to see it. Yes, it's because I'm a pussy. |
wwf
12.14.19 | Is Lars Von Trier cancelled I dont even know |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.19 | Yeah Antichrist is a ripper
House That Jack Built is one of the most miserable of his movies that I've seen and, unlike stuff like Antichrist and Melancholia, a large portion of it isn't made more palatable by surreal, hypnotic imagery. It's raw, relentless, and perverse, to levels comparable to Nymphomaniac, but it's also really really good. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.19 | TBH nothing in House That Jack Built is even remotely as graphic as a certain two scenes in Antichrist or a certain few scenes in Nymphomaniac, but it's somehow much much more disturbing non-the-less.
I'm gonna bring up Climax again because its fucked up that it hasn't been talked about. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.19 | I would rather watch HTJB a second time than sit through either part of Nymphomaniac again tho |
Egarran
12.14.19 | That millstone scene physically hurt to watch. |
Larkinhill
12.14.19 |

Sounds great to me! And Iām very curious to see Dillon in a role like this. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.19 | he makes a very convincing sociopath. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.19 | >>>>>gawking phoenix |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.19 | everyone that complained about the joker being problematic should be forced to watch the house that jack built they wouldn't last 30 minutes |
Egarran
12.14.19 | Liked The Joker a lot, just disappointed there was no rioting associated with it.
It was the opposite of problematic. Oh noes it's pointing out flaws in our society, shun shun |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.19 | Joker was a solid like 6/10
It didn't point out much of anything really. It was ham-fisted and almost desperate to say something more intelligent than it could manage. It was also blown entirely out of proportion and in no way lived up to violence and shock that the controversy surrounding it promised. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.19 | The hyperbolic acclaim strikes me as a bit of a knee-jerk to the hyperbolic controversy, which was already a knee-jerk reaction in its own right. Movie was so far from either extreme. |
Egarran
12.14.19 | For me it just gets up to 7/10.
Over here in The Shire we didn't get much of the hyperbole. Only thing I knew was that it was a bit edgy and got better reviews than I expected.
So a nice surprise considering other all the other DC fails. It felt like a real movie to me. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.19 | I truly wish it was edgy enough to warrant the dumbfuckery that went on over here
But yeah in terms of comic book movies it was one of the better ones. Logan is the only one I can think of off the top of my head thats been much better. |
butt.
12.14.19 | Just saw the new Black Christmas. Although is certainly wasnāt good....it certainly wasnāt terrible either. I kinda had fun with it. But it shouldnt be called Black Christmas, and they should have kept it rated R |
wwf
12.15.19 | Im weirdly both solidly of the opinion that a horror movie pretty much never has to be rated R and also I can barely name any good PG13 horror movies lmao |
Larkinhill
12.15.19 | The Ring. Psycho. I dunno, there are many, but I get your point. |
budgie

12.15.19 | Rewatched Antichrist earlier today, didnāt nearly hate it as much as the first time I watched it but I still didnāt get a whole lot outta it. Looking forward to watching the house that jack Built tho, the trailer with Bowieās Fame looks awesome |

12.15.19 | OT but once upon a time in Hollywood was terrible :3 |

JeetJeet
12.15.19 | "Welp, disappointed by The House that Jack Built as well."
That movie was so ass
Saw some flick on Netflix called In The Tall Grass which had potential but ended up being a clusterfuck. Was kinda entertaining but not good. |
Thalassic
12.15.19 | In The Tall Grass was definitely a not good |
budgie
12.15.19 | watched scary stories last night
it was actually pretty cool
acting was really bad |

12.16.19 | Meh. Its just another shitty LVT movie. So bored & unimpressed with this dude and his schtick. |

Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.19 | Ready or not looked fun I hate sam weaving tho |
budgie
12.16.19 | i hated her but this film made me un-hate her |
JeetJeet
12.16.19 | Ready or Not was pretty cool. |
Larkinhill
12.16.19 | Yeah I saw Ready Or Not in theaters. Really good.
Scary Stories was ok, but just ok. Some of it was cool in a nostalgic way since I grew up reading those books. |
budgie
12.16.19 | i liked the monsters in it, and the score was really great, and the wrap-around story was alright, but the vietnam thing was maybe a little heavy. but man the casting was awful. just awful. just terrible. too bad. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.19 | don't recognize a single cast member |
budgie
12.16.19 | like it has jay leno in it you dont know who jay leno is

12.16.19 | has anyone seen Goodnight Mommy? the german film? looks tempting |
Larkinhill
12.16.19 | Goodnight Mommy is solid (not great, but good). Super creepy vibe, nice sense of suspense and a plot that slowly unfolds, but hooks you in. Something of a slow burn. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.19 | Goodnight mommy looks fun af |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.19 | Anyone peep the eyes of my mother? |
wwf
12.16.19 | yeah it's real good. super fucked up and hard to watch but sort of fascinating
I could see someone really hating it though |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.19 | Ya I loooved it |
Thalassic
12.17.19 | Speaking about horror video games
Does anyone still remember that distorted trumpet-like sound in Half Life 2? Sometimes accompanied by G Man appearing on a TV that's not even plugged in. That shit used to mess me up when I was a kid lol |
wwf
12.17.19 | Maybe I've just been scraping the bottom of the horror barrel lately, but I actually really, really enjoyed watching 'I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House' just now. I can see why it's so divisive, since the writing is a little... weak, but oh my god as a mood piece it's so good.
Watching it with headphones on is so relaxing but strange and tense at the same time. It's like ASMR lmao
I felt like it was kind of built around how time starts slipping away the older we get. It very intentionally blurred together the main character's present with the older woman's present and past until the only thing that was left was the melancholy of past time.
It's not as good as The Blackcoat's Daughter but it's still a damn fine movie. |
Larkinhill
12.17.19 | I Am the Pretty Thing is pretty good man, not a hot take at all imo. |
wwf
12.17.19 | Ive seen a ton of hate towards it online, and the scores that it has on Letterboxd and Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb are pretty... average to say the least lmao.
I feel like it's one of those movies that you either vibe with or you don't |
Larkinhill
12.17.19 | True, yeah I definitely agree with that. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.18.19 | It was good. Certainly not on the same level as Blackcoats Daughter but yeah i enjoyed it |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.18.19 | cannot express how much i hated the main actress tho and her botox ass duck lip |
EyesWideShut
12.18.19 | is that Blackcoats any good ? Emma Roberts.. huh.. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.18.19 | If you aren't high-key obsessed with Emma Roberts you probably haven't seen Scream Queens yet
And yes Blackcoats Daughter is very very very good. |
EphemeralEternity
12.18.19 | My dads friend is directing his first film, itās gonna be JAWS but set in Australian. Im not looking forward to it either. It seems better than his other other idea thiugh...werewolves on a plane and an obese female dart champion (serious) |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.18.19 | if i was forced to watch one of those at gunpoint id choose the obese dart champion one |
EyesWideShut
12.18.19 | Im more into Eric Roberts |
Larkinhill
12.18.19 | And yes Blackcoats Daughter is very very very good (2)
Definitely among my all time favorite horror movies and Iāve seen TOOONS of horror movies. |
Thalassic
12.18.19 | Blackcoats Daughter is one of the few horror movies that was as sad as it was eerie |
Egarran
01.02.20 | HARK! HARK, Triton! HARK! Bellow! Bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths, full foul in his fury, black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime. To choke ye! Engorging your organs till ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more. Only when he, crowned in cockle shells, with slithering tentacled tails and steaming beard, take off his fell, befitted arm, his coral-tinged trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through your gullet! Bursting ye! A bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody thing now of nothing for the harpy send the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon, only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself. Forgotten to any man, to any time, and unto any God or Devil, forgotten even to the sea. For any stuff, or part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul, is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea! |

01.02.20 | @thalassic have you seen Lake Mungo? |
Larkinhill
01.02.20 | Yer a fan of me lobster though, aināt ya? |
Egarran
01.02.20 | Man that was nice. After reading about 50 interpretations, I can say it is about a dead person being judged by a god and failing - mirroring Greek mythology, but also it is one person inventing a super ego, Fight Club style, because he is going mad from solitude and tries to defeat it/himself, and this is all going on in an eternal one-eyed cycle. |
budgie
01.02.20 | agree w/ wwf on i am the pretty thing. not as great as blackcoat but still dripping with atmosphere, and the climactic "jumpscare" was fantastic |
Egarran
01.02.20 | Ooh that's a good 'un: So who knew that Edgar Allan Poe and āMan of Aranā early cinema pioneer Robert Flaherty threw a Herman Melville-themed party for Ernest Hemingway which, under the influence of bathtub gin and barometric anomaly (and a late appearance by Samuel Beckett), became so raucous it angered the Greek Gods who visited mythically grotesque punishments on its revelers, gone blind with masculine rage and insane with isolation and bad hooch? - Kiang |

01.03.20 | EXTRA ORDINARY was great |

01.03.20 | 'agree w/ wwf on i am the pretty thing. not as great as blackcoat but still dripping with atmosphere, and the climactic "jumpscare" was fantastic'

01.06.20 | Just watched Goodnight Mommy last night, hated the ending. First half was very good and very atmospheric and the last was borderline torture porn.
I liked Jug Face though. It's kind of a cute low budget folk horror. Some of the acting was bad and it wasn't very tense but it was interesting |
budgie
01.17.20 | "I liked Jug Face thoug"
i rly love ashley lauren carter & larry fessenden but i didnt dig jug face all too much. but appalachian shit just makes me uncomfortable
recent watches:
extra ordinary (2019) kinda comedy horror but the comedy style is like something from tim & eric or napoleon dynamite. i really liked it but i think most people wouldn't. gave it a 3.5/5
zombieland 2 (2019) the fucking darkside of the zombie catalogue gave it a 1.5/5
countdown (2019) there's something about teens getting killed off by some arbitrary supernatural force (like final destination) which is super entertaining. not a great film at all but certainly watchable, gave it a 2.5/5
secret santa (2018) super super crude low budget comedy horror a lĆ CarousHELL or Thankskilling, and it worked for me, loved it, 3.5/5
Villains (2019) dude who plays pennywise + lead girl from IT FOLLOWS are a couple of odd lovers in this awkward quirky indie comedy that eventually reveals itself to be a pretty sobering and dark film. first act of the film is almost too sugary but it balances out. villains are crazy and awesome. 3.5/5
a serial killer's guide to life (2019) so i guess there's a trend in british filmmaking toward pitch black comedies? i don't get the humor at all. prevenge i hated, sightseers i hated, and this one, well, i gave it a 2/5
snatchers (2019) sort of a modern night of the creeps written for high school girls. movie is actually pretty fun and the visual comedy is pretty spot on, but the dialogue was a bit jarring or something. wanted to give it a 3/5 but ended up at 2.5/5 because of the dialogue i guess. not a bad way to spend 90 minutes though if you like night of the creeps
hell fest (2018) i thought i had already seen this movie so had kept putting it off, but no, it was blood fest which i saw, which is basically the same premise: teens go to a horror festival which turns violent. blood fest was utter shit. hell fest was actually super cool! the shots of the festival alone are worth watching the film for, and the underlying horror story isn't half bad. got some scream vibes from this. incidentally one of the female leads here plays in the scream tv show. 3.5/5
inner ghosts (2019) nothing really to say about this one. don't watch if you're epileptic. 1/5
extracurricular (2018) this right here is why i do this! had absolutely zero expectations and ended up loving it! kind of a home invasion/serial killer film but which doesn't feel stale, somehow. everything here works. 4/5

01.19.20 | guys this is a horror thread |
BAT
01.20.20 | in terms of cage horror there isn't many, tons of murder thrillers though. bringing out the dead is a ultra depressing movie and i remember 8mm being pretty fucked up. last one i saw was cage going after a prostitute-killing john cusack, 50 cent saved the day iirc.
innn terms of horror movies i watched cuuuz i lost track : only christmas movie i watched besides die hard was 'christmas evil' and it's a waay easier sit than silent night deadly night, solid holiday movie tbh basic but fun. train to busan was cool, pretty much what world war z should've been buuut still a lil too much cgi for my taste. annd last night i watched jess francos 'jack the ripper' with klaus kinski, it as trashy and thrown together as jess' otherwork, boring buuut lotta nudity and kinski cutting peoples boobies off. the ripper doesn't leave a single note and the cops arrest him red handed. |
budgie
01.20.20 | i cant read that |
notagenius
01.20.20 | the classic !! The Descent (2005) !! |
BAT
01.20.20 | tldr : all i watch are ray liotta movies |
Rowan5215
01.20.20 | anyone watching The Outsider? I'm pretty wary cos uhh Stephen King adaptation from like 2016 (lol) but the reviews have been good and the True Detective comparisons got me intrigued |
Larkinhill
01.20.20 | Havenāt really heard about The Outsider, but you have my attention. Where is it availableā Netflix, Prime? |
Larkinhill
01.20.20 | Btw ā if yāall havenāt watched Servant on Apple TV you are fucking missing out. M Night is one of the producers, directed and wrote some eps etc, but you can tell he let the creator lead the way as it doesnāt really feel like a Night show. It is super creepy and Rupert Grint (Ronald from Harry Potter) is so fucking good in it. |
Rowan5215
01.20.20 | don't think it's on Netflix, HBO I'm pretty sure. I didn't care for the book too much but I'll watch anything with Ben Mendelsohn |
budgie
01.25.20 | nightflier is pretty cool |
Thalassic
01.25.20 | Rupert Grint? That guy still acting?
Thought the dude would've taken a job as a cashier by now because of the lack of acting work |
Egarran
01.25.20 | I'd think he could retire and live off his fortune. But nooo people gotta have ambitions. |
budgie
01.28.20 | so someone rec'd me 21 jump street as a hilarious comedy and i just finished it, think i'm going to kill myself |
BAT
01.28.20 | i watched jim belushis the principal, my advice is don't. joker was okay, cut the first hour out. idk if i've seen 21 or 22 jumpstreet, one of them idk |
budgie
01.28.20 | i watched the first 20 minutes of joker and got bored
just got done with super dark times and gave it a 5/5 on letterboxd
holy fuck what a film |
Egarran
01.28.20 | lol that is an actual title
"escalating paranoia and violence"
Yeah nah I get enough of that on a daily basis
|
Thalassic
01.28.20 | Super Dark Times is great, agreed |
Minushuman24
01.28.20 | Interested. Will check that out. |
budgie
03.11.20 | sadistic intentions was p sweet |
ElioG
03.11.20 | Session 9 (2001) - Berberian Sound Studio 2012). Just for the record and budgie saludos. |
budgie
03.11.20 | session 9 is ok
recently i've also watched
after midnight - another film with gardner of sadistic intentions and the battery (awesome zombie flick from 2012). after midnight also has benson i think? from resolution/the endless/spring. after midnight was pretty nice, pretty lighthearted and romantic like spring. think i prefer sadistic intentions because it is pretty dark. reminded me of bad match (2017) which i adore
rewatched donkey punch recently, idk why this movie is so unheard of. fucking awesome movie. it's brutal and glorious and the final girl is kickass
saw la horde finally, pretty watchable french zombie flick. not the best zombie film, nowhere near the worst
black christmas 2019 - i don't have much to say about this. very likely the worst movie i've ever seen
jaws 2 - nowhere near the first, but totally watchable |
Larkinhill
03.12.20 | Session 9 is fucking fantastic. |
Thalassic
03.14.20 | I watched The Exorcist III again last night
Rules |
butt.
03.15.20 | Whoa this thread is still alive.
And yeah Exorcist 3 is awesome. Itās physically impossible to talk about that movie without talking about the hallway scene |
budgie
03.15.20 | yeah the scissor scene right?
so good
i'm gonna watch the sacrament tonight
|
Minushuman24
03.15.20 | Is that that Ti West jonestown film?
I've only seen three of his films |
budgie
03.15.20 | it is! the same |
Thalassic
03.15.20 | Only Ti West movie I've checked is House of the Devil. Was good. |
Minushuman24
03.15.20 | The House of the Devil was my first West film. I love that movie a lot--it's actually one of my favorite movies, the atmosphere and the slow burn work so well there. I was excited to check out his other films, but they all seem to follow the same structure and are far less interesting films. Innkeepers was kinda bad, and The Sacrament was literally just a film version of Jonestown. Ignoring the debate if it's in bad taste to make a fun horror movie out of that, it was just a bit plain to me. I liked it more than the Innkeepers though. |
parksungjoon
03.15.20 | budgie put some goregrind on the list pls |
Thalassic
03.15.20 | Anybody ever checked the obscure Adam Wingard flicks like Home Sick and Pop Skull? |
budgie
03.15.20 | ive never seen those man, will download, thanks. adam wingard did..... ah, you're next, and the blair witch film, nice |
Larkinhill
03.17.20 | House of the Devil is amazing. Innkeepers and Sacrament are alright but not on the same level. |
butt.
03.17.20 | @thalassic I haven't seen those two, but I did watch Horrible Way to Die or something like that? That's his too right?
Yeah HofD is amazing and Sacrament is really good too |
budgie
03.17.20 | i love house of the devil to death, but man the very ending sequence seems kind of vapid, i don't know. the majority of the film is so full of charisma and style, and the dancing scene ahhhh |
Thalassic
03.17.20 | @butt
Horrible Way to Die indeed is from Wingard. I like that one as well. |
budgie
03.19.20 | so the grunge 2020 film wasn't bad truth be told. i was expecting trash so... cool.
next up, the 47 meters down sequel, here we go |
budgie
03.19.20 | havent seen og martyrs since around the time it came out
hmmmm maybe its time for a revisit |
budgie
03.19.20 | youve never seen the remake of The Fog, clearly
or the 2019 remake of Black Christmas
or The Love Witch
|
budgie
03.19.20 | the original the fog is a must watch bro |
budgie
03.19.20 | it's a pretty rad flick |
Larkinhill
03.19.20 | Original Fog is a fucking classic man. |
budgie
03.19.20 | larkin ma boyyyy |
Sevengill
03.19.20 | I've been on a C-horror kick lately. "From Hell It Came" is tonight's movie, featuring everyone's favorite killer stump, the Tabonga!
this makes me want to make a music video in this style
I'm gonna make a C-horror music video |
budgie
03.19.20 | looks like high art to me, lol
https://images2.static-bluray.com/reviews/15155_1.jpg |
budgie
03.21.20 | so, The Hunt is basically twitter political memes: the movie
if you wanna watch a badass ninja republican white chick kill evil liberal elites you'll prob dig it
me, i don't want to hear "woke" in my fucking horror movies, no thanks |
Egarran
03.21.20 | Anyone seen Dagon?
Fun little movie with one hardcore scene. |
Thalassic
03.21.20 | ^ yep
Not bad tbh |
notagenius
03.25.20 | Dagon + 1.
I've seen horrors filmed with cheap equipments these days.
amazed that "28 days later" was filmed with a dv. |
budgie
03.25.20 | oh right, some updates:
47 meters down: wasn't good, obviously, but the stupid was fun to watch, and the ending was ridiculous, watchachable/10
stupid movie though
the hunt: i mentioned already but fuck this movie, never seen anything so tonedeaf in my life
doom: annihilation: way better than the hunt.
brightburn: actually really enjoyed this one. gore was fuckin awesome. cool flick. thought it was gonna be lame, but hey hey
dagon is cool .
notagenius: check out the battery, movie was filmed with a budget of like $5000. also zombie like 28 days
|
butt.
03.25.20 | yo guys last night I watched Body Bags. Fun little 90s anthology from John Carpenter. Lots of cameos. Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, and Sam Raimi. And one segment stars Mark Hamill. Anybody seen it? I think it was on amazin prime, worth it for the final segment alone |
budgie
03.25.20 | body baaaaaags. looks sick, gonna check it |
butt.
03.25.20 | hell yeah lemme know whatchu think |
Larkinhill
03.25.20 | Ahhhh fuck yeah, I remember Body Bags! Definitely need to watch. Havenāt seen since I was a kid.
Invisible Man was pretty fucking good. Really utilized its concept well as far as scares go ā there were some really good ones too.
And not really traditional horror, but you guys have got to check out the Tiger King documentary on Netflix. Shit is wild and should appeal to horror fans I would think ā it did for me. |
Larkinhill
03.25.20 | Yeah dude 47 Meters Down was terrible. Definitely had some unintentional laughs though. |
butt.
03.25.20 | Invisible Man is my movie of the year so far. Wasn't expecting it to actually be scary, but it sure was. Great concepts and ideas all throughout |
budgie
03.25.20 | sadistic intentions is my favorite film of the year so far but i did like invisible man a good bit. hopefully that film with johnny knoxville and alexandra d'addario comes out soon - summon the darkness or something like that |
Larkinhill
03.25.20 | Agreed. Nice surprise. Now thatās how you handle the Universal monster movies. What did they call the franchise when they launched The Mummy? Dark Universe or something like that? |
Thalassic
03.26.20 | I watched 2014's Creep last night for the first time
Pleasantly surprised |
budgie
03.26.20 | sequel was alright
|
Minushuman24
03.26.20 | I liked the sequel, but I don't think it captured the shock and awkward feeling of the first one that made me love it so much. Solid movie tho. |
butt.
03.26.20 | both creep movies are awesome
budg did you watch body bags |
notagenius
03.26.20 | @budgie
thanks i will watch that.
"creep" first one is amazing. I will always remember that. second one is ok. |
butt.
03.26.20 | honestly I thought they were pretty equal in quality. The cold open in Creep 2 was fuckin amazing |
ResidentNihilist
03.26.20 | Anybody seen anything by Fucli? House By The Cemetary is great with bad dubbing and all. Also has anyone seen the Hitcher, the original? |
notagenius
03.26.20 | "Creep" has that suspenseful feeling, the audience doesn't know if he's really a sick killer. in "creep 2" We all know he's a real f*cked up.
I've seen some of Lucio Fulci's films but not "House By The Cemetary", I find his works are inconsistent with mixed quality. "Sette note in nero" is the best. "Zombi 2" is amazingly terrible.
|
Thalassic
03.26.20 | The Beyond is my favorite Fulci |
ResidentNihilist
03.26.20 | Haven't watched Sette note in nero, will watch. Also really want to see The Beyond. Has anyone watched Suspiria, Tenebrarum and other giarlo classics? |
butt.
03.26.20 | "House By The Cemetary"
yeah watched this one back in october. I liked it, definitely had its moments. |
budgie
03.26.20 | dling body bags now buttbro (lol)
last night i watched deadcon, terrible, and........ the witch files, which was.. watchable |
Thalassic
03.26.20 | "Has anyone watched Suspiria, Tenebrarum and other giarlo classics?"
There's not many Argento I haven't watched |
ResidentNihilist
03.26.20 | the blood over the gravestone in house by the cemetary is still really fucking scary in places, the atmosphere is actually kind of haunting. |
notagenius
03.27.20 | "Has anyone watched Suspiria, Tenebrarum and other giarlo classics?"
"profondo rosso" is the best giallo. my top of the list |
ResidentNihilist
03.27.20 | Will watch that tbh. Going to go over Event Horizon again. |
Minushuman24
03.27.20 | I've only seen Suspiria which is a favorite of mine and Deep Red back when I saw Goblin preform is. But unfortunately that's all I've seen so far. |
notagenius
03.27.20 | if you like goblin, i recommend a band called "zombi", just great. off the topic tho
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/68890/Zombi-Shape-Shift/ |
Minushuman24
03.27.20 | sounds like a weird time, I'll check it out at some point |
wwf
03.27.20 | Yo if you guys are looking for horror stuff to watch that's not the most dour depressing shit in the world, I def recommend Locke and Key on Netflix
It's a lot of fun and has some decent horror stuff in it. It's gateway horror done really well |
Larkinhill
03.27.20 | Yeah Locke and Key is pretty good. But check out the graphic novels. They are fucking amazing. A masterpiece. Much better than the show, but the show is still solid.
Loved the first Creep, still need to check the 2nd.
I bought Color out of Space on 4K blu Ray but havenāt watched yet. Thoughts from those who have seen it? |
budgie
03.27.20 | i fucking hated it |
Larkinhill
03.27.20 | What, Color out of Space?! Damn dude, why? Iāve actually heard itās pretty good so far. Not in the vein of Mandy at all? That was pretty solid. |
wwf
03.27.20 | @larkin cool, Ive been hearing that too. I should check them out, Ive heard theyve got a lot more style and depth than the show |
budgie
03.27.20 | haven't seen mandy yet. for what it's worth i'm not a n. cage fan. can't really explain why i hated color out of space, just thought it was complete shit. hope you like it though |
Thalassic
03.27.20 | Cage goes wild in Mandy
I lost it at the "YOU RIPPED MY SHIRT" part lmfao |
butt.
03.27.20 | im not a cage fan either but mandy was fucking awesome. its a must watch |
Larkinhill
03.27.20 | Oh man yeah, Iāll add to the chorus that you have to watch Mandy. I think most horror fans would love it. I am a big Cage fan though, but plenty of people who arenāt still enjoyed it. |
wwf
03.28.20 | yeah im not even sort of a cage fan and mandy is great |
budgie
04.01.20 | ok Vivarium imo was bad but my buddy really liked it
anyone check it yet?
|
budgie
04.01.20 | cmon pots dont ignore me sweetie |
budgie
04.01.20 | Underwater fucking RULED!!! |
Thalassic
04.01.20 | Is that Banshee Chapter movie any good? |
budgie
04.01.20 | i love banshee chapter sooooo much. a favorite of the 2010s for sure |
Thalassic
04.01.20 | Gonna check. I'll probably like it. |
wwf
04.01.20 | i fucking love banshee chapter |
budgie
04.01.20 | yeeee wwf
so kickass |
wwf
04.01.20 | it's got such a specific tone that I don't know if any other movie really taps into
def one of my favorite low-budget horrors of the last decade, and easily my favorite found footage. I just rewatched it recently too and there's a lot of attention paid to lighting and shit, there's a lot better filmmaking in it than your average found footage |
budgie
04.01.20 | i feel you about that tone. creepy supernatural industrial vibe. at least two other films gave me that feeling: the atticus institute & the tunnel. neither of them are as awesome as banshee chapter, though, but i do really like the tunnel |
Larkinhill
04.01.20 | Hadnāt heard of Banshee Chapter, but shit, you guys have me hyped. Shudder? |
budgie
04.01.20 | https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/banshee-2013
not streaming anywhere |
wwf
04.01.20 | @budgie this the tunnel? https://letterboxd.com/film/the-tunnel-2011/ |
budgie
04.01.20 | that's it man. real fun found footage aussie flick. i don't hear about it too much though.. rewatched it very recently and it was just as fun as i remember |
wwf
04.01.20 | cool i added it to my watchlist. yeah ive never heard of it, it looks promising |
budgie
04.02.20 | beneath us (2019) was great, recommend it |
Thalassic
04.04.20 | Creep 2 was a bit of a letdown for me. Not bad, but it had nothing of that unnerving vibe of the first one (which was awesome).
Banshee Chapter on the other hand utterly ruled. Really distinct vibe and genuinely scary.
I've downloaded Poughkeepsie Tapes and Grave Encounters. Do they come recommended? |
budgie
04.04.20 | i'll have to rewatch grave encounters at some point but i don't remember it being particularly remarkable |
wwf
04.05.20 | Yee grave encounters is fine |
Thalassic
04.05.20 | Watched it last night. Liked it a lot, though it does take some time before the madness starts.
Liked Poughkeepsie Tapes as well. Acting isn't the greatest, but the vibe is extremely well done. |
budgie
04.05.20 | i started the first season of slashers
really liking it really liking it |
butt.
04.05.20 | Slasher? damn i heard it wasn't great. Maybe I'll give it a shot |
budgie
04.05.20 | i've seen season 3 and it wasn't great but watchable at least, season 2 was spoiled for me but i can't remember the spoiler so i guess i can watch it lol. season 1 is the most fun i've had in a tv show in a long time. but i also don't watch tv shows so.
but i'm having a lot of fun with it. the WHODUNIT element is tearing me apart aghh dying to find out!! acting isn't great and the dialogue can be a little highschool-drama-class but that adds to the entertainment value |
ResidentNihilist
04.05.20 | what's everyone think of 28 days later? |
budgie
04.05.20 | pretty sure every horror fan considers it one of the top films of the century |
Thalassic
04.05.20 | 28 Days Later is great yeah |
Larkinhill
04.06.20 | Yup. 28 Weeks Later is great too. Robert Carlyle. Begbie! |
budgie
04.06.20 | that one scene in 28 weeks later.. no not the intro, the one where the huge mob of people is corralled in some warehouse with the lights out trying to get out of the facility, and the one zombie... causes a wave of infections and people start realizing and it's all going apeshit holy fuck that's the best scene ever. need to rewatch that film |
wwf
04.06.20 | Imogen Poots in 28 Weeks Later kickstarted my puberty in 2007 |
budgie
04.06.20 | that was winona ryder in heathers for me |
butt.
04.06.20 | I love 28 days & weeks pretty much equally.
Gf and I been watching virus/quarantine/apocalyptic movies lately cuz, ya know. so far we've watched The Bay, I Am Legend, and 10 Cloverfield Lane |
Storm In A Teacup
04.06.20 | Masters of Horror Soundtrack yo |
budgie
04.06.20 | just finished slashers season 1
wasn't as great as like halfway through
mehhhhhh
def worth watching
i like virus/quarantine/apocalypse movies man, fun shit
fucking watch what we become, so perfect for rn |
Storm In A Teacup
04.06.20 | Masters of Horror soundtrack didn't even make sense and only a couple songs would have fit in a horror movie |
wwf
04.07.20 | It's not really a horror movie, but Blow The Man Down is really fuckin good, and it's on Prime Video for free.
It's kind of an indie crime drama in the same vein as Fargo, and the score and atmosphere are incredible, and I think you guys would appreciate it |

04.07.20 | 28 days>>>> |

04.07.20 | Anyone seen Mandy with Nic Cage? |
Minushuman24
04.07.20 | Mandy rules man |
unclereich
04.07.20 | Got it the day it came out, top 5 cage |
butt.
04.07.20 | yeah mandy is a goddamn masterpiece.
anyone see the new-ish movie Cage is in, the sci-fi horror one? it's like color out of space or something. I heard good things |
Minushuman24
04.07.20 | I'm waiting to see that with my friend, which will be a few months, but I'm very excited |
TVC15
04.07.20 | I've actually heard mixed things about Color Out of Space.
But speaking of Lovecraftian Horror, I've recently seen Annihilation and it's become one of my fav sci fi/horror films. Studying biology at uni so I thought the whole comparison of programmed cell death to human self destruction during hard times was very interesting. Rare film that's a CGI fest that actually looks amazing too |
Minushuman24
04.07.20 | Annihilation is an absolute classic.
That movie is terrifying. |
TVC15
04.07.20 | The scene where Kane cuts open the guy's stomach is one of the most terrifying scenes filmed and the final half hour is straight up a masterpiece |
butt.
04.07.20 | yeah fucking looooove Annihilation. and Ex Machina is probably one tiny step above it for me |
Dunpeal
04.07.20 | you're not a true horror fan until you've seen Sleepaway Camp |
Thalassic
04.07.20 | Annihilation is an absolute classic. [2]
The scene with the stomach, the bear stuff, the final with that mimicking alien thing...creativity's through the roof there |
budgie
04.07.20 | you're not a true horror fan until you've seen Sleepaway Camp Part II
fixed
i didn't really care for annihilation |
budgie
04.07.20 | "anyone see the new-ish movie Cage is in, the sci-fi horror one? it's like color out of space or something. I heard good things"
i saw it and it was terrible |
Egarran
04.07.20 | So pretty good |
Thalassic
04.07.20 | Anyone ever watched that 1980 slasher flick The Burning? |
budgie
04.07.20 | egar >_ |
Egarran
04.07.20 | It's a weighted average.
I know you know about those lol rekt |
TVC15
04.08.20 | Just watched The Killing of a Sacred Deer for the first time and it's one of the most goddam psychologically distressing films I've ever seen. I'd never thought "please God just make it stop" so many times while watching a movie since maybe Inland Empire |
budgie
04.08.20 | are those really horror movies
i was reading through a "best horror films of all time" list recently and half of it was lynch and/or lynchian shit
pissed me off lol |
TVC15
04.08.20 | I don't see why not lol |
wwf
04.08.20 | Inland Empire scares the shit out of me |
Egarran
04.08.20 | That diner scene |

04.08.20 | Inland Empire is legit one of the eeriest movies ever |
unclereich
04.08.20 | I hated annihilation, weird |
budgie
04.08.20 | ya it was a jerkoff of a film |
budgie
04.13.20 | i started american horror story and... does it get good? idk if i'm the right demographic
in more interesting news WE SUMMON THE DARKNESS is out so everyone should get on that, i'm gonna watch it in a bit. fuckin alexandra d'addario and johnny knoxville!! haven't been this excited for a film in a while
also i promise butt i am gonna watch body bags tonight i promise |
budgie
04.13.20 | oh yeah totally forgot about gretel & hansel
i watched it but was so tired i didn't really understand what was going on
going to have to rewatch that one |
budgie
04.13.20 | ok.. we summon the darkness was a major bummer.
|
butt.
04.13.20 | "Anyone ever watched that 1980 slasher flick The Burning?"
yes, very solid under-appreciated slasher. It's like F13 but better.
lol budgie I have faith in you. But I also hope I didn't talk it up too much, the first two segments are okay but the third one makes the whole watch worth it. |
butt.
04.13.20 | also Annihilation is fantastic, your fake news comments stop right NOW |
JeetJeet
04.13.20 | "ok.. we summon the darkness was a major bummer."
Cmon bruh you know any movie starring Knoxville and Daddario isnt gonna be good lol |
budgie
04.13.20 | our conceptions of good are very different i think
in any case she was the best part of the film |
alamo
04.15.20 | just watched annabelle, now that's a shitty movie |

04.15.20 | bruh. annabelle 2 is where it's at. 3 was also decent. |

04.15.20 | budgie. did u watch it yet |

04.15.20 | >_> |
TVC15
04.15.20 | Annabelle was never a good franchise thb |
Thalassic
04.15.20 | Annabelle is shite yeah |
budgie
04.15.20 | everything horror related to james wan is a stain on the genre imo |
butt.
04.15.20 | annabelle is exactly what it sets out to be. popcorn horror that goes exactly how you'd expect. I can getg hating on the first one but the second one was almost universally praised. |
Thalassic
04.15.20 | Never saw the second one, but the first one was not a good time |
budgie
04.15.20 | wait what do you mean by the second,
so there's the first, then a prequel, then a sequel? released in that order? which is the 2nd |
butt.
04.16.20 | the second annabelle film released is the second movie
what just happened to the synapses in your brain |
budgie
04.16.20 | i mean
the first star wars film is called number 4
also i don't think i have synapses |

04.16.20 | I watched invasion of the body snatchers(1978) for the first time last night and it was solid af |

04.17.20 | Scream Queens rules, the first season is perfect |
TVC15
04.17.20 | Tbh I'm not very big on the OG 50's Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Been meaning to watch the '78 remake |
wwf
04.17.20 | the 78 one is great, very creepy |
butt.
04.17.20 | if anyone still hasn't watched The Bay, this is a very fitting time to do so. |
budgie
04.17.20 | that the one with the bug parasite tongue things? |
butt.
04.17.20 | yesssss |
budgie
04.17.20 | i know ive seen it more than once but for some reason cant remember anything that happens |
wwf
04.17.20 | yeah i remember nothing about the bay lmao |
butt.
04.17.20 | re-spin it boys. really well done on a really low budget, fun little 'outbreak' type of movie. yall really dont remember the scene with the black cop? I'll say no more |
budgie
04.17.20 | literally remember nothing haha
|
Thalassic
04.17.20 | I liked The Bay
Anybody got me some underground creepy shit to recommend (like Banshee Chapter)? |
JeetJeet
04.17.20 | Watched Dr. Sleep last night. Shit was coo. |
budgie
04.17.20 | thalassic, try....
the tunnel, lake mungo, the atticus institute, southbound, YellowBrickRoad.. i can't think of many films which share that same unique sort of terror with banshee chapter |
butt.
04.17.20 | i still haven't seen banshee chapter, but lake mungo and southbound are nothing alike no I still don't know what vibe you're going for lol
try Jack and Jill (2011) |
Thalassic
04.17.20 | I watched The Tunnel, Lake Mungo and Southbound. Liked all three of them, but Lake Mungo is my fave out of them by far. I heard Atticus Institute is rather ass, but the concept of YellowBrickRoad is intriguing. Will check. Thanks.
Jack and Jill is horrifying yeah |
butt.
04.17.20 | Lake Mungo def one of my favs too. One of very few movies that I actually have a tough time watching alone lmao |
budgie
04.17.20 | the atticus institue isn't fantastic but it does offer that mysterious industrial supernatural horror vibe that's difficult to describe. yellowbrickroad's horror is unique and i'm guessing difficult to capture on film. lake mungo and banshee chapter do it best, for sure |
wwf
04.25.20 | Looks like the entirety of The Tunnel is on youtube, nice |
budgie
04.25.20 | pretty dark film prob want to find a high quality |
wwf
04.25.20 | Yeah Im feeling it |
butt.
04.26.20 | anyone else been watching what we do in the shadows? |
budgie
04.26.20 | how is it? |
Minushuman24
04.26.20 | I've gotta finish Lake Mungo at some point. I've been avoiding spoilers since I've heard about it a year or two ago.
I love What We Do In The Shadows, but I've never seen the show |
budgie
04.28.20 | yo bitches
watched 1BR last night and it became a fast favorite. heavy recommendations
|
budgie
05.04.20 | anyone check The Wretched
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8305806/ |
Thalassic
05.04.20 | No, is it worth checking?
I watched Nightmare Cinema. Acting sucked big time. |
budgie
05.04.20 | the wretched is worth checking, but it's not super great
really recommend 1BR though
nightmare cinema looks pretty bad haha
i'm bout to put on SPACE but idk if it's really horror |
budgie
05.09.20 | just finished Sea Fever
fuckin awesooooooooooooooooooooome film |
Thalassic
05.09.20 | ^ I read it's a bit Lovecraftian. And it's Irish. So I might check it out. |
ElioG
05.09.20 | Annihilation is a fucking gem. Especially the use of that minimalistic, ambient, liquid-like music... |
JeetJeet
05.09.20 | Guys. Watch POSSESSOR. Body horror sci fi flick from Cronenberg's son. Shit is fire |
budgie
05.17.20 | the lodge was super dark. awesomeeeeeee |
JeetJeet
05.17.20 | Fucking loved The Lodge. And that ending...sheeeeeeeeesh. Riley Keough is seriously awesome in whatever she does. |
Minushuman24
05.20.20 | Just started The Happiness of the Katakuris and I don't really know if it fits in this thread, but the intro was absolutely bonkers |
wwf
05.20.20 | yo have any of you guys watched noroi the curse, because it's quality as fuck |
Thalassic
05.20.20 | Noroi rules |
wwf
05.20.20 | the tv show scene about ten minutes in is one of my favorite horror movie scenes ever, it's so perfectly done |
budgie
05.20.20 | need to check it stillllll
|
wwf
05.20.20 | Do itttt, I bet youd like it |
Minushuman24
05.23.20 | just took an ambien and started Silent Hill 2 for the first time since i pussed out as a kid. It should be fun. |
TVC15
05.23.20 | Watched mother! for the first time earlier today. Can't believe I haven't seen it sooner, it's a masterpiece |
budgie
05.23.20 | nice minus, ambien + horror is such a good combo |
Larkinhill
05.23.20 | Yeah mother! is pretty crazy. Saw it in theaters but havenāt since, May go order the blu Ray rn. |
Minushuman24
05.23.20 | Update. I got lost in the apartments and I was scared. Then I got to a save and fell asleep. Good time.
mother! is amazing, it's just pure concentrated stress and anxiety. It's so incredibly underrated |
Minushuman24
05.26.20 | Watching the Poughkeepsie Tapes--It's hot garbage |
budgie
05.26.20 | always heard it was a great gem but never got around to it
|
Minushuman24
05.26.20 | Same. I wanted to finally watch it before checking out a recent analysis video. Highly disappointed myself. |
budgie
06.04.20 | hostel 1, 2, & 3 all sucked |
Minushuman24
06.04.20 | hostel is high tier garbage, fuck that series |
budgie
06.04.20 | eli roth can do no right |
wwf
06.04.20 | man i have no strong opinions on session 9 at all
which is strange considering how fucking weird it is |
budgie
06.04.20 | did you just watch it? i need to recheck, been well over a decade
anyone seen the dirties? |
wwf
06.04.20 | watched that for the vex film week thing not too long ago, it's fuckin horrifying |
TVC15
06.04.20 | eli roth can do no right [2] |
wwf
06.04.20 | yeah eli roth fucking sucks |
TVC15
06.04.20 | Ok well, tbf Eli does own in Inglourious Basterds |
budgie
06.04.20 | it's kinda hard to fuck up killing nazis |
TVC15
06.05.20 | ^I concur, that is a solid point |
budgie
06.06.20 | salem's lot was pretty lame. and loooong.
slumber party massacre was not great
looking forward to breaking this streak |
wwf
06.14.20 | the influence on netflix is pretty cool. definitely an inferior version of a certain other recent horror movie that I won't mention by name cause spoilers but it had a lot of really interesting shit in it |
budgie
06.14.20 | noted, will check
i watched psycho and [REC] 3 the other night. i was told [REC] 3 was shit but it was excellent stuff |
wwf
06.14.20 | yeah def check it, it's pretty underrated. not a perfect movie by any means but it's got mood for days |
budgie
06.15.20 | man i finally watched suspiria OG and didn't like it at all
and witches are like my favorite subgenre of horror! |
Minushuman24
06.16.20 | aw man you didn't like Suspiria? It's like a crazy fever dream |
GuanoBumbershoot
06.16.20 | "Watching the Poughkeepsie Tapes--It's hot garbage"
Pretty much, but not totally. Found the ending part where she cant live without her tormentor really unsettling.
Check out Lake Mungo for some great found footage shit. |
budgie
06.16.20 | aw man you didn't like Suspiria? It's like a crazy fever dream
i liked all the components of it. the fever dream element is awesome. the lighting, the too-loud-in-the-mix score, all cool. but just felt like the film didn't tie it together and it was just a mess and i didn't like the film as a product. reminded me a bit of demons ii though, which is one of my all time favorites |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.16.20 | suspiria is definitely a fucking mess
a beautiful mess but a mess none the less |
Minushuman24
06.16.20 | Haven't seen Demons II.
But yeah, I think it took me three rewatches before Suspiria really clicked with me. It's all over and hardly cohesive, but it adds to the nightmarish quality for myself. It is really style over substance. Which is completely opposite to the remake which is robust and far more cohesive. I don't like it as much though. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.16.20 | Suspiria remake is the best remake i've ever seen by like.... a cool dozen gigaparsecs |
budgie
06.16.20 | cheeeck demons 2. sooooo cool |
TVC15
06.16.20 | Suspiria remake would be way better if it had a different score. Thom's music doesn't suit the movie at all, especially at the ending climax
Idk maybe I should rewatch it |
TVC15
06.18.20 | For anyone interested, I discovered a 90 minute fan edit of 2018 Suspiria which removes all of the subplots, restructures the film and color corrects it to make it closer to the OG, and even inserts the OG Goblin soundtrack. The only downside I can tell is that the subtitles are a part of every scene but prolly cos it's edited by a non-English speaking person.

Zorg
06.18.20 | True horror - Save the Last Dance |
Thalassic
06.18.20 | I watched The Invisible Man remake. Wasn't all that great imo |
budgie
06.20.20 | watching suspiria rm
why 2 n half hrs LONG |
Minushuman24
06.20.20 | cuz it is the exact opposite approach to the same concept. |
budgie
06.20.20 | yeahhhh i am not enjoying it |
Faraudo
06.20.20 | "I watched The Invisible Man remake. Wasn't all that great imo"
Nah, it's pretty good tbh
|
budgie
06.20.20 | it was pretty alright but not great |
Thalassic
06.21.20 | Watched NWR's "Too Old to Die Young" series. Not really horror, but plenty of disturbing elements and a dark atmosphere.
I was really vibing with until the final three episodes. The final three episodes were complete garbage. |
Thalassic
06.22.20 | Alright I watched Hell House LLC today
For some reason I never checked it before because I was under the impression that it would be shite, but it was actually pretty damn good lol |
wwf
06.22.20 | all i remember about hell house llc is that some of the night scenes were good and that paul was a giant piece of shit lmao |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.22.20 | @thalassic what, you didnt enjoy 3 hours of jesus's mommy issues manifested through over the top fetish sex and torture? I thought the scene where the lady death rubs jesus's cum in his face was quite poetic |
budgie
06.22.20 | hell house LLC has a great scare, the bed scene. woo!
FYI hell house LLC II was total shit, i heard III was somewhat better than II though |
notagenius
06.25.20 | The Invisible Man's ending is amazingly boring, if we change it to the man being cunning, an infrared camera is installed in the house and in the end two invisible men confront each other. Would be more interesting.
I just watched Marrowbone (2017) and I thought the guy who directed it was very good and very skilled. |
wwf
06.26.20 | two takes i absolutely don't agree with in one post lmao. loved invisible man and marrowbone isn't great imo |
JeetJeet
06.26.20 | I loved every bit of Too Old To Die Young |
budgie
06.27.20 | hey butt. i put on bodybags last night, fell asleep i think at the end of the 2nd segment but first segment was neat, will finish tonight
also watched spoorloos/the vanishing, what a great film! |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.27.20 | @jeet i liked it too but there is plenty excessiveness to mock |
Thalassic
06.28.20 | Haha as a whole I liked Too Old To Die Young, but the final three episodes...couldn't get down with those
Especially considering how absolutely brilliant some of the scenes in the previous episodes were; the scene where the Jamaicans were vibing on that parking space is an all time great |
Thalassic
06.28.20 | @budgie
Yeah that one scene in Hell House LLC creeped me out as well, damn
I watched that Korean flick The Wailing. It's great |
budgie
07.01.20 | what's everyone watchin
watched peeping tom (1960), really didn't 'like it at all
watched pathology (2008) and liked it quite a bit. medical horror is fun
might do cherry falls next... |
Colton
07.01.20 | Damn you guys really like horror on here eh
|
budgie
07.01.20 | what the fuuuck one of te main dudes in pathology is also one of the main dids in cherry falls what are the chances im trippin guys |
budgie
07.01.20 | ooooh
the hot girl died i was like damn that means shes not gonna have a topless scene
but then they showed her in the morgue i was like yessssss |
Egarran
07.01.20 | The masturbation was strong that night |
budgie
07.19.20 | havent updated in a while:
RELIC (2020) aussie film with lots of babadook vibes
but i was hugely EH on it
ppl seem to like it though
THE BEACH HOUSE (2020) havent finished but anyone seen it?
JENNIFERS BODY (2009) - rewatched the other night, not deserving of all the hate it gets, but not really a great film
THE LAST EXORCISM (2010) - was pretty sweet honestly idk, gonna check out the 2nd one tomorrow but heard it was rough
favorite 2020 horror so far probably split between the lodge, scare package, underwater |
butt.
07.20.20 | Invisible Man is definitely best 2020 horror, but The Lodge was great too. Iāve been getting back in the swing too, hereās what Iāve watched the past couple days:
Terrorvision
Bad Taste
Forbidden World
House (1985)
Hagazussa
Color Out of Space |
budgie
07.20.20 | howd you like those? i haaated color out of space. house was alright but i had expectations to really like it because 80s cheese is my thang |
butt.
07.20.20 | Damn I thought Color was pretty sweet. I always love me some lovecraft, and though the CGI was lacking, the creature design was amazing.
Of that bunch, my fave was Terrorvision. Now THAT is some amazing 80s cheese. Bad Taste is Peter Jacksonās debut, youāll probably like it if you liked Dead Alive |
budgie
07.20.20 | terrorversion looks sweet, thanks.
i love everything lovecraft too which is probably why i was so bummed about color, and everything with nic cage is just ugh
|
butt.
07.20.20 | Wtf so you donāt like Mandy? |
Allergist
07.20.20 | wow that's alot of comments |
ReefaJones
07.20.20 | I hated Mandy but grindhouse isn't my thing anyway and it's basically just a shitty grindhouse movie presented in a neon color palette. |
notagenius
07.20.20 | I will watch CUBE tonight again! then I will check Color Out of Space and Mandy for you are talking about them. |
budgie
07.20.20 | havent seen mandy yet it's low on the list |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.20.20 | I would have figured someone as two-faced as you would love the man of many faces himself, nic cage |
budgie
07.20.20 | jjjJEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz |
ReefaJones
07.20.20 | pots is following me everywhere I think he secretly loves me |
budgie
07.20.20 | shudder has a new film: lake of death |
TVC15
07.21.20 | I'm obvs super late on it but I just saw The Babadook for the first time. William Friedkin called it the most terrifying movie he's seen and if the last third of the film was as good as the first two-thirds, I would be inclined to agree. I can totally get how someone would find it unintentionally funny but I thought it was both sad and scary (and I'm not scared easily by horror films).
Planning on watching Blackcoat's Daughter for the first time later. Another movie I'm late to the game on lol |
budgie
07.21.20 | ahhh the blackcoat's daughter is the absolute best. i need to rewatch babadook soon, i jam the score sometimes, really good horror score |
notagenius
07.21.20 | holy shit, Color Out Of Space is pretty solid. |
Egarran
07.21.20 | Despite the super-annoying kid, Babadook was definitely above average |
butt.
07.21.20 | Watched Killing Spree (1983) last night. Absolute lowest budget 80s movie Iāve ever watched. Was physically painful. But thanks amazon prime for having a plethora of old horror |
notagenius
07.21.20 | the first half of Mandy is superbly painful to watch. the second half is pretty fun. |
notagenius
07.21.20 | "Watched Killing Spree (1983) last night. Absolute lowest budget 80s movie Iāve ever watched. Was physically painful. But thanks amazon prime for having a plethora of old horror"
I watched the trailer on youtube just now. holy moly. what did i watch. no freaking way. |
butt.
07.21.20 | Yeah man big yikes. And honestly I love the first half of Mandy, itās just so fucking weird. Cage is insane, the hippie cult leader getting embarrassed about his dick size, etc. Sometimes I just love seeing something new and bizarre lol |
TVC15
07.21.20 | Can confirm now that The Blackcoat's Daughter is a fucking masterpiece. 90 minutes completely blew by |
TVC15
07.21.20 | I think you meant Killing Spree 1987? Anyway if that's the trailer I watched weeeew. Looks like something that would appear on RLM's Best of the Worst lmao |
budgie
07.21.20 | whoop! |
budgie
07.21.20 | Lake of Death was pretty sweet, really pretty cinematography and has that charming folklore-allegorical crap all throughout the film, but ultimately not super memorable i guess. trollhunter still stands as the reigning champ of norwegian horror, all scandinavian horror probably
shudder just added Nina Forever which is pretty sweet if anyone has that service |
Egarran
07.21.20 | >Scandi horror
I guess it's not really horror but og Let The Right One In was great. |
Minushuman24
07.21.20 | I just got the blu ray for The Color Out of Space, pretty excited |
budgie
07.21.20 | that film i'm quite confident is considered horror, egar, and is quite well loved
that being said i didn't really care for it myself! way she goes
Sorgenfrei is super underrated, a danish zombie hidden gem, ugh i love it |
Egarran
07.21.20 | There's something about the bleak winter highrise that resonates with many scandinavians. I should see the US version.
I forgot all about Sorgenfri, is it really good? |
budgie
07.21.20 | one of my favorite films period, but it isn't acclaimed or anything, maybe lots of people are spent on zombie films |
butt.
07.21.20 | Whoops youāre right, yeah Killing Spree was 1987 |
DavidYowi
07.22.20 | Color Out of Space is dope. That fuckin' goat scene is wicked. Has anyone here seen Richard Stanley's other two films? |
budgie
07.22.20 | looking him up, ive seen his segment on the anthology theater bizarre, and i remember thinking it was pretty cool |
wwf
07.23.20 | Relic is awesome. Kinda reminded me of House of Leaves in parts |
Faraudo
07.23.20 | Just saw The Taking of Deborah Logan. It starts pretty good, has some creepy imagery and good setpieces, but it goes fucking ballistic for it's third act. Demon grandma spitting acid and shit lmao. Solid 6.1/10 |
butt.
07.23.20 | Just watched Scare Package on Shudder last night, really fun movie. A total love letter to the genre with lots of plays on cliches and a fun cameo too. Tons of solid practical effects! |
butt.
07.24.20 | Starting Cannibal Ferox now. Been meaning to ever since I first watched Cannibal Holocaust |
budgie
07.24.20 | scare package was legiiiiit.
i watched palm springs last night - pretty damn close to happy death day, but humor was better, but also it wasn't really a horror film. more like a very lighthearted romantic comedy with a tiiiiiiiiiny element of a slasher.
but it was pretty funny. |
Rowan5215
07.28.20 | just watched The Lodge. almost a good movie but whoever wrote the script thinks they're about 20x as clever as they actually are. such a dumb reveal, so so dumb
Relic and Amulet both look pretty tight, gonna grab those next |
Rowan5215
07.28.20 | also, calling it horror is a stretch lol but The Vast of Night is the best new movie I've seen this year. does more with good camerawork and sound effects than most full-blown horrors I've seen. gorgeous movie |
butt.
07.28.20 | I loved The Lodge
Watched Tales from the Crypt (1972) and A Bucket of Blood (1959) yesterday. Both fantastic movies |
TVC15
07.28.20 | My biggest problem with The Lodge was the acting imo. Neither Riley or the kids convinced me of anything going on in the movie.
I was also under the impression of Vast of Night being a horror film but was still pleasantly surprised by it. Neat Twilight Zone worship and the long takes in the first half was impressive. Thought the second half was left down a bit by too much sitting around and talking, it really halts the movieās pacing especially when theyāre at the old ladyās house |
budgie
07.28.20 | i liked the vast of night but wish something actually happened. pretty film in any case |
wwf
07.28.20 | hey, things happen
also the dialogue and the filmmaking of the first half is so fucking cool. sooooooooo fucking cool |
budgie
07.28.20 | yeah the characters were interesting. i was definitely bummed when it ended, wished it were a series or something, if it could be while still maintaining the same quality |
wwf
07.28.20 | i really really wish it didn't kind of forget about the characters in the last half hour. still all the really long monologues were amazing |
TVC15
07.28.20 | Almost enjoyed The Autopsy of Jane Doe. The autopsy itself got me sooo squeamish but everything else in the film was stupid bullshit and I hated all the characters |
budgie
07.28.20 | no shit really? film is pretty all around loved it seems. i've been itching to rewatch it soon, i remember loving it myself
watched burn the other night: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8009314/
pretty alright |
TVC15
07.28.20 | I totally get why people like it, but outside of me not liking the characters/acting I overall agree with the common criticism that it fizzles out in the last third. Idk I just didn't get the appeal of the rest of the movie, it felt like a standard affair especially with all the jump scares |
Rowan5215
07.29.20 | "My biggest problem with The Lodge was the acting imo. Neither Riley or the kids convinced me of anything going on in the movie."
I thought Riley was literally excellent and the kids were pretty convincing as far as kids in horror movies go. if it didn't have the all-time dumbest twist ever of all time it would have been solid A24-core but alas
"I was also under the impression of Vast of Night being a horror film but was still pleasantly surprised by it. Neat Twilight Zone worship and the long takes in the first half was impressive. Thought the second half was left down a bit by too much sitting around and talking, it really halts the movieās pacing especially when theyāre at the old ladyās house"
I really liked all the monologues because they were very character specific and you don't see much of that in sci-fi/horror/whatever you wanna call it. honestly just really liked the whole thing. but yeah the first hour when you were finding out what was going on was fucking immense |
riffariffic7
07.29.20 | Anyone here ever watch Witchfinder General with Vincent Price? It's my favorite Price film and it genuinely unnerves me every time I reflect on it. |
budgie
07.29.20 | i was happy with the direction/"twist" of the lodge. really love those horrors where the blackness isn't manifest outwardly in some alien or whatever. wish the film had ended when she was walking to the car & the car was stalling, or stuck in the snow, ughh! sinister as hell
and yeah i had no issues with the acting either |
Rowan5215
07.29.20 | lol I love some psychological horror too but if you expect me to buy that this teenager and little child meticulously planned a haunting - including somehow getting drugs to drug her with, making 1000 snow angels on ice you can barely walk on, somehow faking a hanging I could go on - just to punish her for like being a person cos they're sad their mum is dead? come the fuck on. they didn't actually think a second of that script through they just thought it would be ~atmospheric~ and, like, humans are the real monsters, bro |
budgie
07.29.20 | true, should've just left it at them hiding all the shit. |
Rowan5215
07.29.20 | aight yea Relic was really fucking good. nothing I love more in horror than some good sound design |
Faraudo
07.29.20 | Relic is great, the atmosphere is particularly eerie. |
Faraudo
07.29.20 | "lol I love some psychological horror too but if you expect me to buy that this teenager and little child meticulously planned a haunting - including somehow getting drugs to drug her with, making 1000 snow angels on ice you can barely walk on, somehow faking a hanging I could go on - just to punish her for like being a person cos they're sad their mum is dead? come the fuck on. they didn't actually think a second of that script through they just thought it would be ~atmospheric~ and, like, humans are the real monsters, bro"
Those fucking kids are assholes tho.
|
budgie
07.29.20 | im watchin the rental right now (alison brie),
super solid so far, lovin it |
JeremiahBullfrog
07.29.20 | Have y'all seen The monster on netflix? actually really quite good. Evil dead 2013 is my favourite film ever. |
Rowan5215
07.29.20 | I would watch literally anything with Alison Brie but on the other hand I would rather self-immolate than watch something Dave Franco directed so I'm a bit torn on that one |
budgie
07.29.20 | idk anything about dave franco but im finishing up the film now and its a solid slasher.
watch scream 4 if you havent, alison brie is fun in that
|
budgie
07.29.20 | fuck that was sweet, i think i'm going to rewatch it this weekend haha. |
Faraudo
07.29.20 | U had me at Alison Brie tbh |
butt.
07.29.20 | Alison Brie is in Scream 4?! Damn now I really have to watch it
So relic is actually good? |
budgie
07.29.20 | the relic was a similar style tale to the babadook, but i thought the allegory/metaphor here was too heavy handed & inelegant and didn't really enjoy the poetry of it for that reason but it seems to have been well received so far, so check it out either way
scream 4 is an awesome slasher btw idk why it is so unknown |
butt.
07.29.20 | Iāve known about it forever, just one of the few franchises I havenāt really dug into past the first movie (which I love). I need to get my shit together |
wwf
07.30.20 | i thought the monster was a hugeeeeee piece of shit lmao |
wwf
07.30.20 | 'Almost enjoyed The Autopsy of Jane Doe. The autopsy itself got me sooo squeamish but everything else in the film was stupid bullshit and I hated all the characters'
sameeee. i don't normally have a problem relating to characters but i thought the plot was pretty weak and i just wasn't very into it. honestly i didn't particularly like it more or less than the possession of hannah grace. that movie was hackier but i didn't hate it |
budgie
07.30.20 | ya i didnt like the monster at all, not way below average though i guess |
budgie
07.30.20 | butt you need to binge the 4 scream films back to back |
Egarran
07.30.20 | >the relic was a similar style tale to the babadook
wut |
Rowan5215
07.30.20 | yeah apart from being vaguely psychological and featuring Australian people I see absolutely no similarity between those two lol
also Relic is good which is the main diff |
JeetJeet
07.30.20 | Has anyone seen 1BR or The Rental yet? Thinking of doing a double feature with those movies |
butt.
07.30.20 | Budgie was talking about rental the other day up above |
budgie
07.31.20 | 1br was fucking AWESOME. the rental was a decent slasher with interesting characters |
budgie
07.31.20 | ">the relic was a similar style tale to the babadook
wut"
they're both heavy handed allegories dealing with a literal manifestation of mental illnesses. they're extremely similar |
TVC15
07.31.20 | The Rental sucked ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
But I also don't know how to have fun when it comes to movies |
Egarran
07.31.20 | You must mean another The Relic cause mine is about a South American lizard god who's on a people eating rampage in a Chicago museum. |
budgie
07.31.20 | my bad egarr, this is the one https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9072352/
|
Egarran
07.31.20 | "manifestation of dementia"
Oh boy I gotta see that |
Rowan5215
08.01.20 | y'all deletin comments in here or |
wwf
08.01.20 | man the ending to relic is unforgettable. the whole last act is 5/5. shame the first half hour is a bit dry |
Rowan5215
08.01.20 | eh I think it was all necessary character setup. I've certainly seen worse setups, it did the job fine
I wrote a whole long-ass comment disputing budgie's claim that it's incredibly similar to Bababook but it disappeared fsr, I can't be bothered typing it again but yeah they're really not similar outside of the fact that they both use metaphor lol |
wwf
08.01.20 | they both are almost entirely metaphorical lmao
but yeah not very similar past that. and also yeah the first half sets up the second half well, and there's even some tense scenes, but idk it still felt a bit plodding in parts. just a nitpick really |
Rowan5215
08.01.20 | that's what I'm saying. Relic actually builds its metaphor carefully and does the character work to make it land. the design, dialogue, camerawork, pretty much everything contributes to the central metaphor.
Babadook beats you over the head with GET IT? THE MONSTER IS DEPRESSION. DO YOU GET IT over and over for two hours
totally different films |
budgie
08.01.20 | youre upset with the connection because you think the babadook is shit but like relic
theyre both stories about a mental illness being physically manifested
"the relic was a similar style tale to the babadook"
also suck my dick |
Egarran
08.01.20 | lol u said cum |
wwf
08.02.20 | the babadook also is one of the strongest horror movies of the 10s visually though. the cinematography is sharp as fuckkkk.
relic looks good, and the makeup and set design in the last half hour are incredible, but the babadook has a big angle up in that regard |
wwf
08.02.20 | too bad the nightingale is a hugeeee piece of trash |
budgie
08.02.20 | have you seen the recent film with mackenzie davis? i saw the trailer and it looks not great but mackenzie davis is killer so |
alamo
08.02.20 | watched Ms. 45 the other day |
budgie
08.02.20 | ooh it's a rape horror? rape movies are a little sketchers for me |
alamo
08.02.20 | i mean there are rape scenes in hte beginning but the movie is pretty chill |
Egarran
08.02.20 | That reminds me of Entity
Poltergeist rape ftw |
notagenius
08.02.20 | the production budget of The Invisible Man is only 7 million. holy moly, i am impressed
|
Minushuman24
08.06.20 | Thinking of spending my last night here getting drunk taking ambien and watching the thing |
budgie
08.06.20 | dont ruin ambien with alcohol!
but ambien + horror movie is the best god damn fun in the world |
Minushuman24
08.06.20 | Donāt ruin how so?! Itās a bit too late! |
budgie
08.06.20 | haha just muddies that special nightmare-world high i get from ambien. also too much alc + ambien can lead to really scary blackouts |
Minushuman24
08.06.20 | Thatās true. Still absorbed but I got ya. Do have that doubly vision tho |
budgie
08.06.20 | enjoy yourself
i once took a good bit of ambien and watched some film called "ouji 2: origin of evil" and it totally freaked me out, scary little girl with demon face type shit, totally worked! |
Minushuman24
08.06.20 | Oh god thatās a lot. We would take it and watched cursed videos on YouTube |
Egarran
08.06.20 | god damn drugged up merkins
I want some ambien |
wwf
08.06.20 | ouija 2 was pretty ok. by far one of the worst mike flanagan movies but its still not bad |
wwf
08.06.20 | In fact my Flanagan ranking goes:
1. The Haunting of Hill House
2. Gerald's Game
3. Doctor Sleep
4. Hush
5. Before I Wake
6. Oculus
7. Ouija 2
8. Absentia |
butt.
08.06.20 | Watched Ice Cream Man (1995) last night. Wow. Just wow. |
Egarran
08.06.20 | I had such great hopes for The Haunting of Hill House. I think I've made it through 1.5 episode. |
budgie
08.06.20 | best to watch it as a family drama with horror-flavor than a horror show. ending was butt though
hush is probably my favorite of flanagan's |
Egarran
08.06.20 | If only I had known it was a family drama, I could have skipped it sooner. |
Egarran
08.06.20 | Somebody please watch this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5282590 |
budgie
08.06.20 | i loved it, you saw? |
Egarran
08.06.20 | It now occurs to me I could have ctrl+f sadist. I must stop underestimating you.
Didn't see.
|
budgie
08.06.20 | check it out
heavy metal in horror is almost always embarrassing (deathgasm, we summon the darkness) but sadistic intentions is *mwuah*
worth mentioning the two other films with jeremy gardner ive seen are great (the battery, after midnight) |
riffariffic7
08.06.20 | Amityville Dollhouse a.k.a. Zombie Dad |
butt.
08.06.20 | The Devilās Candy is some *chefās kiss* heavy metal horror |
budgie
08.06.20 | dooood i put it on a while back but decided to fall asleep pretty early into it. haven't gotten around to continuing it for some reason
night of the demons & night of the demons II make for a (very) fun heavy metal double feature |
Egarran
08.06.20 | The Ritual had a strong black metal element in the book that they FOR SOME REASON didn't use in the movie. |
budgie
08.06.20 | the swedish jotun movie? fuck i wanna rewatch that |
Egarran
08.06.20 | Yup, in the book the hero is kept prisoner by some fucked up black metal freaks who just happen to know a forest god |
budgie
08.06.20 | that sounds like a pretty key kernel of the story to be totally absent in the film
when are you going to watch sorgenfri
im gonna rewatch soon i must |
Egarran
08.06.20 | I'm terrible, I haven't even watched midsommer OMG I KNOW I'm so lame. The last movie I watched was Mary and the Witch's Flower and before that two absolutely terrible Star Trek movies (Insurrection and Nemesis).
These are hard times. |
budgie
08.06.20 | midsommar isnt that vital imo idk
you should watch underwater
i cant tell you why though
just watch it
srs |
riffariffic7
08.07.20 | Here's a scene I decided to upload to YouTube on my favorite horror movie jump-scare: https://youtu.be/_KGP___TzbE |
budgie
08.07.20 | that was a pretty neat one, havent seen that film
|
riffariffic7
08.07.20 | I'd highly recommend it. Zombie dad alone makes it worth seeing, as he's one of my favorite horror movie antagonists of all-time, but the writing is surprisingly witty and the actors are really quite good throughout. This movie scared the hell outta me as a kid and the build-up to zombie dad's appearance is riveting. I adore Amityville Dollhouse. It is easily the best of the franchise and one of the best horror movie sequels ever made, along the likes of Psycho II and Exorcist III. |
budgie
08.07.20 | funny you mention exorcist iii, i think that film has one of the craziest jump scares ever. the scissor scene! never seen psycho 2.
|
riffariffic7
08.07.20 | Psycho II is so underrated. Anthony Perkins returns as Norman Bates and he's just as terrific as he was in the original film. That scissor scene from Exorcist III is a classic. I just love that movie in general (maybe even more than the original). George C. Scott and Brad Dourif are just fantastic in it. |
butt.
08.07.20 | Midsommar is vital tho you fuckin cuck |
budgie
08.14.20 | knives out was fuckin awesooooooooooooooooome |
Egarran
08.14.20 | RLMs review of Exorcist 3 was nice: https://youtu.be/NIC6D77YYgY |
Divaman
08.14.20 | I FINALLY caught up this week on both A Quiet Place and Hereditary. |
butt.
08.14.20 | Both very quality movies, Hereditary being one of my all time favs.
I finally watched As Above So Below last night. Pretty cool stuff. Gotta love āgateway to hellā type movies |
Divaman
08.14.20 | I had a creepy experience with that one. My daughter and I went to the last showing on a Sunday night at a little family theater. Not only were we the only people there to see the film that night, but when it was over, we went out to the (small) lobby, and there was no one there - no employees or anything. I know they were in the back, cashing out, getting ready to lock up, etc., but it was creepy as hell. |
budgie
08.14.20 | a quiet place has to be the most overrated movie ever lol. i liked the indiana jones vibes of as above so below |
Minushuman24
08.14.20 | I like A Quiet Place the more I think about it tbh. At first I was swept up in the height, but it's really just an above average horror film.
My favorite part of As Above, So Below was the siouxsie sioux reference. It is just ultimately a disappointing spook house movie. I don't hate it though |
budgie
08.14.20 | hi im a 24 year old quadruple phd who speaks 50 ancient languages lets go find the alchemical stone of eternity in satans butt 8) |
butt.
08.15.20 | Hahaha yeah that was exactly my thought. Oh youāre like a super genius but believe in eternal life? Cool |
budgie
08.15.20 | anyone check out Sputnik? torrents went up yesterday it looks like, available for streaming on amazon for $6, just starting it now |
MillionDead
08.15.20 | Lmao As Above, So Below was ass. That part where she was in the club and was all "Do I look like a tourist?" I was like "WTF YES! YES, YOU DO!"
And then the catacombs made no sense. Like they just threw random scenes that they thought would be cool together with absolutely no thematic consistency. There were no rules, so I was taken out of the experience. Plus the protag was dumb. Got all those folks killed.
How do we feel about It Comes At Night and Green Room?? |
budgie
08.15.20 | still havent seen it comes at night
|
MillionDead
08.15.20 | It's definitely a horror movie, just of a different kind. Humans are the real monster and all that. Shocking and depressing. Great flick. Probably still on Netflix. I hadn't heard of Sputnik, but I'm always down for a solid sci-fi horror. |
Divaman
08.15.20 | I thought Quiet Place was ok, but I never really forgave it for how stupid the family was in the beginning. Yeah, let's let the baby bring up the rear, and not keep eyes on him at all times. |
MillionDead
08.15.20 | Yeah, complete plot induced stupidity right then. That monster fucked that kid UP though. lmao
But yeah, I agree that A Quiet Place wasn't amazing. I think it was good though. I think a lot of the hyperbolic praise it gets stems from how few decent horrors were coming out at the time it was released. |
budgie
08.15.20 | "I think a lot of the hyperbolic praise it gets stems from how few decent horrors were coming out at the time it was released."
i'm gonna go from 2017-2018
cold hell, thoroughbreds, get out, super dark times, the bar, most beautiful island, mayhem, the endless, dead shack, lowlife, veronica, little evil, desolation, bad match, first reformed, the vault, IT, ravenous, the ritual, beast, the cured, revenge, pyewacket, gerald's game, satan's slaves, ghost stories, creep 2, cargo, happy death day, the babysitter, terrified, the night eats the world, hereditary, uynsane, the night sitter, don't leave home, island zero, await further instructions, the witch in the window, pledge, halloween, you might be the killer, apostle, the clovehitch killer, hell fest, monster party, the haunting of hill house (tv show), extracurricular, haunting on fraternity row
all horror films which are better imo than a quiet place. point is, the hyperbolic praise is because of the optics & star cast, not because of an absence of other films. i've heard this argument before with another film and i just can't accept it it's NOT TRUE it's not
|
MillionDead
08.15.20 | Lmao I guess saying "few decent and visible" would have cleared my point up better. That said, I haven't heard of half of those. Looks like I have research to do lol |
budgie
08.15.20 | yeah that's for sure the takeaway, a quiet place had a ridiculous amount of visibility and excitement behind the film, but in a vacuum so to speak, it's by my figuring, substandard. definitely don't think its relative success has anything to do with the state of horror, though, plenty of fine horrors came out around the same time |
wwf
08.15.20 | veronica is so underrated i can't even. easily one of the best horror movies of the last decade imo.
the fucking kids in that give some of the best child actor performances in a horror movie i've ever seen. genuinely looks like they're gonna pee their pants
i might watch the doctor sleep directors cut here in a couple days or so, i have high hopes for it |
budgie
08.16.20 | sputnik kinda sucked
|
butt.
08.16.20 | aw why? I had mostly been hearing positive things so far.
Anyway, if you want good russian horror check out Viy (1967). It's a witchcraft one and Russia's first horror movie following the dissolution of the USSR |
budgie
08.16.20 | the setting is super interesting, the characters are well acted, the score is great, cinematography is gorgeous (where the fuck was that shot? so pretty), but the characters and their relations to one another is extremely awkward, it's hard to explain, like the film doesn't show any development, and the way the characters act doesn't really make sense, i don't know how to explain it. imagine like, one scene has two characters meeting for the first time, and the next scene has them being best friends or something, it's all off. so that's the fault of the screenplay i guess. also it's not really a horror movie so don't hype yourself up for something like the thing or alien |
Egarran
08.18.20 | Did yall like Lovecraft Country? I was underwhelmed.
Mixing racism and cosmic horror, ehhh I guess I'm just not the target audience/American.
But the cliffhanger was good (ooh occult nazis) so I'll prolly watch next ep. |
budgie
08.18.20 | ofc it has nazis |
butt.
08.18.20 | Watched Frankenhooker the other night, holy shit so good and fucking hilarious. Some great practical effects too. Watch it right now. Yesterday watched Poughkeepsie Tapes and Horror of Dracula. Been getting into some reeeeal old horror lately. Iāve hardly explored the pre-70s yet |
budgie
08.18.20 | frankenhooker looks cool, gonna see if i can find a torrent
i havent seen much pre-70s stuff but the black sabbath film was pretty rad, 1963 i think |
budgie
08.18.20 | oh, black sunday! 1960 |
Minushuman24
08.18.20 | Black Sunday rules. One of my favorite movie covers |
butt.
08.19.20 | yup I did see Black Sunday a few years back but can't remember much about it. But you were partly right budgie, there's another movies around that time called Black Sabbath and pretty sure it's an anthology. |
budgie
08.19.20 | yeah black sabbath is an anthology indeed, pretty cool film. one of the stories is where deceased's luck of the corpse's album cover comes from i guess when i noticed that in the film i was like ohhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!! https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2118804201_10.jpg |
butt.
08.20.20 | Lol nice Iāll have to check it soon. Watching little shop of horrors currently |
budgie
08.20.20 | that sounds familiar! |
Egarran
08.20.20 | The one with Jack Nicholson? It's possibly his best role. |
budgie
08.20.20 | The one with Jack Nicholson? It's possibly his best role. |
JeetJeet
08.20.20 | "Did yall like Lovecraft Country? I was underwhelmed."
Very mixed feelings on it but it had some really good moments. |
Egarran
08.20.20 | Those had better not be actual shoggoths though. They weren't very scary and I expect everyone incl me to collapse in fear if they appear. |
riffariffic7
08.20.20 | Anyone here ever see Clive Barker's Nightbreed? Just watched the director's cut with a friend last night and I loved it. David Cronenberg is spectacular as the villain (and his mask may just be my favorite mask of all-time, such a neat design). |
butt.
08.21.20 | My friends and I are about to read Lovecraft Country and then watch the show afterwards |
Egarran
08.21.20 | Nice butt.
Never seen Nightbreed bc I was a huge Clive Barker nerd for about a year and I had an ideological aversion to his stories being made into movies. |
butt.
08.26.20 | Watched Eaten Alive (1976) last night. Tobe Hooperās next movie after TCM. Anyone seen it? Very backwoods, sweaty, gross, and weirrrrd. So I liked it. |
Egarran
08.26.20 | Haven't seen that.
Btw Lovecraft Country still baaaaad. |
budgie
09.05.20 | i watched:
sleepwalkers (1992 stephenking) pretty fun, stephen king shlock
get duked, (2020). comedy slight horror. pretty funny, worth watching, but it's you know, british
spree (2020) has the dude from stranger things being a serial killer. big message about the horrors of social media etc. could have been great but the film had no charisma, was just a total failure. worthwhile watching because the stranger things dude is fun, but the film is bleh
houses october built 2 (2017) some people are upset when sequels come out because they tarnish the original film by relation. i never really understood that. this film went a bit further, though, it completely modified the original film's canon, like, deleted the entire horror in the original film. so in a vacuum it's a terrible horror film 1/5, but considering it also ruins the original film (which i adore) it's a fuckhead .5/5 avoid, especially if you love the first
aquslash (2019) cheesy 80s slasher parody. stupid sex, stupid relationship drama, stupid 80s character egos, pretty sweet deaths, checks all the boxes 3.5/5
the last exorcism part 2 (2013) pretty not great, first was ok. meh
exorcism of emily rose (2005) i'm always watchin horror films like what the fuck is the legal fallout of being at the scene of a supernatural murder. this is basically that, supernatural exorcism related death, and the legal recourse. acting and everything is fine, if that premise sounds interesting you'll probably enjoy this, i did
death note (2017) stupid film but 2/5 instead of 1/5 because that main girl is cute as hell
knives out (2019) so fucking good watch it now |
budgie
09.05.20 | also i watched indiana jones #1 and it was fucking awful lol. |
wwf
09.05.20 | dudeeee for real the girl in death note is so hot |
budgie
09.05.20 | yussss |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.05.20 | Lol |
riffariffic7
09.05.20 | Watched Near Dark for the first-time a few days ago and that is legitimately the best vampire movie I've ever seen. Then I followed that up with Dead Heat, which is a terrific horror-comedy. |
butt.
09.05.20 | Yeah knives out was fantastic. I watched Scream 2 last night |
budgie
09.05.20 | scream 2 is dooooooope |
Larkinhill
09.05.20 | sleepwalkers (1992 stephenking) pretty fun, stephen king shlock
This is a childhood favorite of mine. Saw it in theaters, bought the soundtrack (on cassette ā no CDs yet), etc |
budgie
09.05.20 | haha nice! |
budgie
09.15.20 | #Alive was pretty alright
Se7en was pretty alright
Savageland was amazing
i rewatched Sorgenfri egar and it was still good, dont sleep on it |
butt.
09.15.20 | "Se7en was pretty alright" yup hard agree, sadly couldn't love it as much as most people do. Also been meaning to watch #Alive. I guess I...still might?
watched The Funhouse Massacre (2015) last night, pretty garbage, and before that I watched Doctor Sleep which I thought was pretty great
Satanic Panic sucked too |
budgie
09.15.20 | alive is no masterpiece, to be sure. i have really low bars for being able to enjoy zombie films it's one of my secret powers. it's worth checking but you probably will know within the first 5 minutes if you are gonna be able to enjoy it or not
i really didnt like satanic panic the first time i saw it but revisited it and liked it a whooole lot more the second time around. think the dialogue was just over the top obnoxious but bugged me less afterward
is doctor sleep properly horror? might look into it tonight |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.15.20 | I played Little Nightmares budgie |
budgie
09.15.20 | wonderful little game |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.15.20 | The sequel looks even better |
butt.
09.15.20 | Doctor Sleep is like drama/fantasy/horror. So yeah ish |
budgie
09.15.20 | i began watching the new babysitter flick last night and it was significantly more cringey than the first film. dunno if i can finish it |
kevbogz
09.15.20 | I don't like horror movies but I recently watched Mandy cuz it had Nick Cage in it |
budgie
09.15.20 | i love horror movies but i ignore the ones with nick cage lol |
wwf
09.16.20 | i didn't like the first babysitter so the sequel sounds like torture
might watch Mayhem tho cause Samara Weaving |
budgie
09.16.20 | mayhem was rough even with samara weaving but it's watchable, not as rough as the babysitter.
ready or not was classic though. |
wwf
09.16.20 | Ready or Not was straight up the best movie from last year |
budgie
09.16.20 | looking at everything i rated with 2019 release date, yeah, i agree completely. next best would be knives out for sure, sea fever, 1br, the lodge, sadistic intentions. wbu |
wwf
09.16.20 | I just watched 1BR last month, it was great.
Kinda want to watch The Lodge too, but I didn't like the last half of Goodnight Mommy at all. In fact you might say I kind of hated it |
budgie
09.16.20 | they share a director or something? i don't think the two films are overly similar, they both have dark tones i guess but beyond that i don't know. check it out anyway, i wasn't big on goodnight mommy either. |
wwf
09.16.20 | Yeah same directors. Cool that's good to know. I liked the first half of Goodnight Mommy before it got all gore porn-y |
budgie
09.16.20 | ah yeah no goreporn in the lodge. more of an atmospheric horror vibe |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.16.20 | Why would you delete that comment why are you like this |
budgie
09.16.20 | same reason i dont want people to fart in my face while im eating lunch |
butt.
09.16.20 | I donāt even wanna know, those two comments are great on their own.
Babysitter sequel looks ass, definitely not bothering |
budgie
10.17.20 | bunch of stuff came out this month but i haven't really checked anything
did watch something last night: the curse of audrey earnshaw...
lot of THE WITCH vibes. but it definitely makes the witch seem like a masterpiece in comparison
what yall watchy |
budgie
10.17.20 | did you ever check the lodge wwf? |
Minushuman24
10.17.20 | 16 films into the month, today will probably be human lanterns |
TheAntichrist
10.17.20 | baby shark do do do do do do |
budgie
10.17.20 | have you kept that letterboxd list up to day? ill check it if you have a link |

TVC15
10.17.20 | Just watched Lake Mungo for the first time the other night and that scared the SHIT out of me |
budgie
10.17.20 | YEAH!!!!! |
wwf
10.18.20 | I watched The Lodge and I think it ruined my life
Really damn good though
Also I watched another movie called The Wretched, which was also a lot of fun. Really good practical effects |
budgie
10.18.20 | the wretched was pretty fun! |
butt.
10.18.20 | Watched the OG Frankenstein last night as well as Pieces (1982) |
budgie
10.18.20 | ive tried to watch pieces a couple of times now lol. is it worth sticking through it? |
unclereich
10.18.20 | the lodge is so good |
butt.
10.18.20 | Yeah Iād say itās worth sticking thru. But the first 5 mins is my favorite |
budgie
10.18.20 | "I watched The Lodge and I think it ruined my life" that's how you know it's a good horror movie xD
watched mortuary collection - it's a great anthology, by anthology standards anyway. rec'd if you like anthologies |
butt.
10.18.20 | sweeeeet someone just rec'd that to me last night. but more importantly...
IM SEEING HALLOWEEN 1978 & 2018 AT A DRIVE IN THEATER TONIGHT |
Egarran
10.18.20 | They tell me I should watch Ghosthunter from 2018.

budgie
10.23.20 | updaaaates
scare me (2020): god i was exhausted by the halfway mark and couldnt finish it
halloween party (2020): low budget but like, totally fun and totally goofy and i loved it
the mortuary collection (2020): good, esp for an anthology
books of blood (2020): also anthology but more like southbound than creepshow. lots of southbound vibes actually, check if you enjoyed southbound. i liked it
wolf of snow hollow (2020): suuuuper awesome i want to rewatch it
curse of audrey earnshaw (2020): really similar to the witch but execution was pretty inelegant and idk eh, lot of good lot of not-good
save yourselves (2020): goofy lighthearted fun |
butt.
10.23.20 | Iām impressed at how much brand new low budget shut you watch. That can be hard for me. I have to throw 80s in there for my own sanity. Stoked to watch Mortuary Collection but also trying to finish Bly Manor.
Also Egarran Iām sorry, reading your comment again and I totally thought you said Ghostbusters hahaha like the new one with the all-female cast. My bad. |

Egarran
10.23.20 | We definitely need a part 3 thread now
This one is getting awkward |
Gyromania
10.23.20 | Is american horror story worth watching outside of season 1 |
alamo
10.23.20 | yes season 2 is the best and 4 was awesome too |
alamo
10.23.20 | season 3 was cool but weaker as far as the horror stuff. i've also watched 7 and 8 and they suck |
alamo
10.23.20 | haven't watched the other seasons but i've heard 6 is pretty solid and was planning to watch 5 this weekend because lady gaga |

here's my ranking of all the horrors I watched this october |
wwf
11.02.20 | Pulse is a classic |
Rowan5215
11.03.20 | Pulse is incredible yup. ending is goofy but I don't even care it's a hell of a ride to get there |
Minushuman24
11.03.20 | I was taken aback about how good Pulse was tbh |
wwf
11.03.20 | By far the best Japanese horror movie I've seen. Noroi The Curse is close too, though.
And Tag (The Japanese one, not the American one) is one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in my life.
Ooh and One Cut of the Dead is wonderful too |
Iamthe Nightstars
11.08.20 | Ugh. I turned off the Mortuary Collection a half hour in. The college bro daftness was too much. |
Hyperion1001
11.08.20 | apparently this new film from david cronenberg's son is great. gonna check soon when im in the mood for some psychedelic body horror. |
Rowan5215
11.08.20 | dark and the wicked looks extremely like my shit, can't wait to see |
budgie
11.08.20 | i watched half of it last night before falling asleep, pretty kickass, and first time i thought a film was even mildly scary since it follows maybe idk. excited to finish the rest |
Egarran
11.08.20 | Hooray I watched Midsommar and at last I can enjoy this thread.
And it was pretty great. 8/10
Now I want some shrooms. |
budgie
11.08.20 | thoughts?? was the main girl a total beezy or what? |
Egarran
11.08.20 | His name was Christian EH EH, very subtle metaphor.
Nah he had to burn, so she could close the chapter of her previous life.
When reading reviews I was surprised everyone hailed her for being a great actress. I don't especially agree. |
TheAntichrist
11.08.20 | midsommar was pretty cool. it's funny how the film came to be because of a bad relationship the director had lol |
Egarran
11.08.20 | Yup it was very real. Definitely related to some of their relationship problems.
Thankfully (or unfortunately) my female is too introverted to join a cult. |
budgie
11.08.20 | ahh damn egarran
seems like that's a really common interpretation, that the main girl got her revenge and found her empowering or whatever
i totally hated the main girl though |
unclereich
11.08.20 | yea midsommar was a huge waste of time unfortunately but stunning visually |
unclereich
11.08.20 | jesus chirst i made that same comment itt a year ago. time fucking flies |
budgie
11.08.20 | oh yeah egarran if you scroll to the beginning of this comment thread we're bitching at eachother about interpretations of midsommar |
budgie
11.08.20 | "I still think you're a bit fucked in the head if your takeaway from Midsommar was that Dani was the bad guy"
no, fuck u! |
unclereich
11.08.20 | yea we've all been talking about that movie for the past year lol |
Egarran
11.08.20 | I know and I have read it all, but budgie asked, so blame him.
And they were all bad guys who had it coming. Either they wanted death or they deserved it.
That sounded a bit harsh. |
Rowan5215
11.14.20 | watched Possessor and Dark and the Wicked last night
both really great, ending of D&TW was limp af tho |

forgot to share with you guys my halloween get up! |
budgie
01.29.21 | ok been a damn long time so update
intruder (1989) BORING SLASHER
come play (2020) BORING INVISIBLE FRIEND OF SAD CHILD HAUNTING FAMILY MOVIE
it cuts deep (2020) EXCELLENT DARK COMEDY
run (2020) pretty alright bigger production flick. mom was fuckin creepy
phoenix forgotten (2017) super solid low production quality found footage involving aliens
the dinner party (2020) trash
frazier park recut (2017) trash
enter nowhere (2011) trash. "mind fuck" thriller horror genre but it's just not good
rust creek (2018) college girl gets lost in like backwoods georgia. loved it, hillbilly thriller/drama
spontaneous (2020) trying to remember why i gave this a 1.5/5. think the film was decently enjoyable but the outro message was dumb junior high philosophy crap
the empty man (2020) awesome weird-thriller in the realm of resolution but gets a bit loose toward the end. recommended though
letters to satan claus (2020) acting was fine and idk the story was fuckin goofy and felt more like a lazy college project with bizarrely good production quality. difficult to recommend. in fact, i don't recommend it
the bay (2012) mockumentary about a contagion event. pretty fun. not best in class though
synchronic (2020) here we go newest project by benson & moorhead. didn't like it as much as resolution, maybe a bit more than the endless and spring. not very horror though. but neither is it a big deviation from their other work
butchers (2020) trash hillbilly slasher drivel
i spit on your grave 2 (2013) dont like rape shit and dont like revenge porn either and its both of those but its not a terrible film |
budgie
01.29.21 |
run hide fight (2020) in the era of school shootings its a bit awkward to release a film about an awkward girl playing rambo during a school shooting event. film isnt bad though. lots of plot armor. LOTS OF plot armor. also the daily wire produced this lol if you want to watch this torrent it
patient zero (2018) zombie film with stanley tucci. shitty zombie film with stanley tucci. even if you love zombies, youre not missing anything by skipping this
noroi (2005) been waiting years to see this, allegedly terrifying ghost mockumentary/ff. it sucked. biggest disappointment in my horror career
the changeling (1980) also disappointing, boring fuckin film
the last winter (2006) similar-ish to black mountain side and the thing, but far worse. still watchable though if you like stranded-in-frozen-landscape films
mirrors (2008) SERVICEABLE horror. one of the scenes is horror magic
grave encounters (2011) better than expected but still overrated. setting is best part about the film. actors are uncharismatic and the horror & atmosphere are not effective
promising young woman (2020) fantastic revenge film but the ending felt unsatisfying also the protagonist was difficult to care about and i think the character was overacted
i see you (2019) wayyyyyyyyyy better than i anticipated. great story but has the problem of all the characters/actors being unlikable

What? You need to see this again, sounds like some points flew by your head. |
Shuyin
01.29.21 | Watched a Japanese movie called Noroi, best horror flick I've seen in some time
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0930083/ |
budgie
01.29.21 | "sounds like some points flew by your head."
very likely lol
but i watched it with 3 other people in discord and they disliked it too so it's not anomalous |
budgie
02.12.21 | some new addilitions
psycho goreman (2020) pretty sweet, high quality backyard C horror
shadow in the cloud (2020) my 1/5 rating for this sucker has nothing to do with the strong woman fighting off misogynistic goons, that's all fine, this movie is ass eitherway
the stuff (1985) i love cheese horror but this really wouldnt end
the house that jack built (2018) pretentious masturbatory drivel TERRIBLE
hounds of love (2016) gave this bad boy a 4. kidnap thriller-drama. nothing groundbreaking here, it's just very well done & some good tunes in the climax i got chills |
budgie
02.12.21 | also i watched some black mirror episodes the other night and realized the entire project is just fantastic. i feel like i read so many complaints about the series not being as deep as it presents itself. i don't think it's trying to be. is just modernized twilight zone parables & it is gr8 |
Egarran
02.12.21 | Interesting, I've never heard someone dislike The Changeling before.
Black Mirror is great. Haven't seen Bandersnatch yet. |
JeetJeet
02.12.21 | "the house that jack built (2018) pretentious masturbatory drivel TERRIBLE"
One of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory. |
TVC15
02.12.21 | Anyone else here seen Saint Maud? Good ass movie. Didn't go out to see it in a theatre, just happened to find it in good quality on Soulseek lol |
budgie
02.12.21 | i watched it but was bored as fuck, wasnt really in the mood to watch slowburn though so will make an effort to recheck
@jeetjeet mah boy. the praise for it is bizarro world shit |
TVC15
02.12.21 | Oh yeah I can totally see getting bored by it if you weren't in the mood for a slowburn. Think you'd like it a bit more on rewatch |
Shemson
02.12.21 | Original Black Mirror by Charlie Brooker was great, from series 4 it was poor and Bandersnatch was a great idea but just not that great a story
The Shut Up And Dance episode made me cold at the end, couldnāt believe what Iād just watched |
budgie
02.12.21 | hated in the nation is my fav
yeah i guess looking at it s3 is stacked
i could watch hated in the nation every day idk what's so good about it |
Shemson
02.12.21 | Yeah thatās a pretty good one too, I think White Christmas is probably the best episode, and of course Hamm is excellent which helps |

Yep thatās Lake Tahoe! |
budgie
02.13.21 | yeah something about it looks so recognizable, i spent a lot of time in mammoth lakes area. maybe it's the architecture actually
anyone watching the new nicholas cage movie? about evil chuckee cheese animatronics |
budgie
02.13.21 | i usually dont like cage horror but his shtick in this movie is his character doesnt talk lol so pretty excited |
Rowan5215
02.13.21 | Saint Maud was p good but the last 15 minutes were a trainwreck imo. I nearly laughed a few times and not in a good way
Black Bear with Aubrey Plaza was really great imo |
budgie
02.13.21 | aubrey is way hotter than that bird come on |
JeetJeet
02.13.21 | Black Bear was fucking excellent. |
americanohno
02.13.21 | yall ever seen the sentinel? exorcist knockoff directed by the death wish guy? it's pretty good man... |
budgie
02.13.21 | 2006? |
Hyperion1001
02.13.21 | the sentinel is the one with super young metro photographer jeff goldblum right? yeah that one is great.
just watched happy birthday to me and it was pretty entertaining. |
americanohno
02.13.21 | @ budgie
1977 a young christopher walken is in the movie dont know about goldblum but he plays a rapist in death wish of course.
happy birthday to me is great one of the best movie posters too. |
butt.
03.15.21 | lookin for a b-movie to kill the night with. preferably 80s and somewhat obscure, bonus points if it's streaming on prime. whatchyall got |
Divaman
03.15.21 | Alone in the Dark. (The Jack Palance one).
It also features Martin Landau, Dwight Schultze of the old A-Team TV show, and a special appearance by the punk band Sic Fucks singing their big hit, "Chop Up Your Mother". |
butt.
03.15.21 | Sweet, an 80s slasher with an IMDb average higher than 6.0?? Good call! Definitely gotta check this |
Divaman
03.15.21 | If memory serves, it also has Donald Pleasance as a wacky new age psychiatrist. |
Divaman
03.15.21 | And as a special bonus, there's a very small part played by later horror film icon Lin Shaye as a receptionist. |
budgie
04.24.21 | horror update time i guess
willys wonderland 2020 2.5/5- nic cage does an ashley from evil dead type film against possessed animatronics and it's fun but like a pretty forgettable popcorn horror. also nic cage doesn't say a single thing in the entire film which makes it my favorite nic cage film by a mile
grave encounters 2 2012 2.5/5- not great found footage ghost stuff
wrong turn 2021 2/5 - pretty bad
the reckoning 2020 2.5/5 - low budget period pieces are usually horrible but this one was watchable. witches are a fun subject matter. nothing to write home about. 2.5 might be a little high actually might adjust that
case 39 2009 1.5/5 - rating prob lower than it should be but fuck me i am so bored with possessed kid horror films. and my face muscles always hurt after watching a film with renee zellewegger
it comes at night 2017 3/5 - this one was talked up for a long time and i put it off b/c it's smart to wait until you're in slow burn mood before you watch a slow burn horror. i liked it enough that i was kind of annoyed when it ended an felt like we had only seen the first act in a film. idk what that was about. fine film but really ungratifying, like it was the pilot episode to a tv series or something
sweetheart 2019 2/5 - couple people trapped on an island and there's a goofy aqua monster demon thing, just a boring story
contracted phase II 2015 2.5/5 - kicks off right where the first film ended. popcorn zombo flick with bonus vaginal maggots
the pact 2012 2.5/5 - camera work and mood and sound design was all awesome but the story was ass. mysterious ghost in the walls type story with an uninspired twist
dead zone 1983 4/5 - c. walken plays a clairvoyant-ish detective for hire and his character is just super rad. fun crime thriller not really horror but it rules rules rules
the hills have eyes 1977 2/5 - why is this considered a classic lol
harbinger down 2015 2.5/5 - grad research scientists on a boat in the arctic circle and they dig something up which pretty much begins this THE THING homage sequence but add some soviet espionage intrigue and wrap it up without any budget and yeah it's watchable but not that good
dead and buried 1981 2/5 - lovecraft type tale of the reanimator variety but really boring.
|
budgie
04.24.21 | wrong turn 2003 2.5/5 - better than the remake for sure, some ok kills, it's worth watching if you like goofy kills. but that's all the film has to offer. i guess if you like the murderous appalachian hillbilly genre then it offers that as well
audition 1999 1/5 - ok this is the great non conventional take here. i'm confused why this is revered. i was confused why noroi isrevered too. i think they're both ass films. all asn horrors seem to let me down. maybe i'm missing something in my brain but here we are. super boring super slow kind-of revenge thriller? people call it an elegant "character study" but i found it about as empty as trifolium's heart
wrong turn 3: left for dead 2009 1.5/5 - wrong turn 1 but with worse kills and worse storytelling
odd thomas 2013 3.5/5 - this hit me so good, yelchin rules as always rip. story was a cute romance in cute crime-horror-thriller setting. ending destroyed me
freeway killer 2009 3/5 - so a serial killer flick from the perspective of the serial killer. pretty compelling. super fucked up. i read the actual case after the film and holy shit this dude was a monster
cry_wolf 2005 2.5/5 - who-dun-it slasher kind of with a neat twist but that's the only neat thing in the film kinda
personal shopper 2016 4/5 - kristen stewart in an artsy ghost movie. idk what the fuck it was about but i loved every second of it
marianne 2019 4/5 - one season tv show filmed in brittany about a witch. i love witches and i think this may be the best depiction of a witch so far that i've seen in any horror media, hats off! also plenty of shots of breton countryside which is always a plus.
red mist 2008 2.5/5 - if you like the medical student subgenre of horror (pathology, american mary, flatliners etc...) it's worth checking out, but it's not really notable otherwise
slaxx 2020 4/5 - the best horror comedy i've seen in a while! pants that kill people in a department story
you should have left 2020 1/5 - kevin bacon and amanda seyfried are awful in this awful boring horror film about a couple with no chemistry who rent a house in the welsh countryside. there's a 5 second scene which is neat about the house having impossible dimensions but the rest of the film is weak ass drama of these two apparently shite actors |
budgie
04.24.21 | lucky 2020 1/5 - lol. this is a horror project which uses a feminism position as the driving subtext but it suffers from being really inelegant and almost offensively obnoxious. feminism is awesome material for horror media, but god, be more subtle about it. looking at you black christmas double remake. best thing about this movie was getting to read all the pissed of alt-right nerds on movie forums afterward ("SJWs ruining our proud white society with their leftist jew movies!!!")
violation 2020 2/5 - artsy revenge horror.. i think it suffers for being a little too artsy with too little charisma. characters are all repulsive which prevents the drama from really hitting home. also suffers from being an australian horror and therefore being compared to australian horror which is definitely above average for the genre. 2/5 might be harsh but it's weaker than its peers and drama horror doesn't work if you can't sympathize with the characters
son 2021 4/5 - this is a really fun demon-cult-mystery film. story isn't groundbreaking at all (could almost be considered a reimagining of rosemary's baby the way midsommar recalls the wickerman) but the execution is fantastic
my teacher, my obsession 2018 2.5/5 - hot loner highschool girl goes psycho trying to control the attention of new english teacher. forgettable
prom night 2008 3/5 - this film has reeeeeally low ratings. it's just an alright, slightly-above-average slasher. worth watching if you like slashers for sure
only mine 2019 3/5 - kind of a mockumentary mixed in with a crime drama horror thriller idk. charismatic girl gets with new guy but he's a little crazy and bad things happen to her. nice film though
detour 2016 3/5 - not really horror. young stupid student hates his step father and pairs up with some sketchy drug runner to get the step father killed. some twists, some tension, good acting across the board. really weird ambiguous ending that is almost awesome but idk how i feel about it. in the end it's an entertaining film though so w/e
tony-deaf 2019 3.5/5 - awesome film from the director of trash fire and excision. oblivious city girl mixes up with psychopath wanna-be serial killer country yokel and it's entertaining as hell |
butt.
04.25.21 | I just watched Motel Hell (1980). Decent little horror comedy.
Last night watched The Greasy Strangler and Freaky. Greasy Strangler was one of the weirdest things I've watched in my whole life and Freaky was surprisingly good with brutal kills (all practical effects) and pretty funny too. |
budgie
04.25.21 | freaky was fun! vince vaughn managed that really strange role well huh |

Iamthe Nightstars
05.03.21 | For all you rooks that haven't seen Popcorn (1991) you should get on that. |
butt.
05.03.21 | Ahh thatās been on my watchlist for some time. Horror comedy with nearly a 6.0 on IMDb? How have I not watched that shit yet. Do you know if itās streaming anywhere? |
Divaman
05.03.21 | Poltergeist isn't scary at all. |
budgie
05.03.21 | cool ill look up popcorn tonight
watched les martyrs a couple nights ago, was pretty sweet
the resort (2021) was trash, skip it |
Divaman
05.03.21 | The last horror film I watched for real was actually last week. It was a South African film called Triggered. It was dumb, but reasonably enjoyable. |
Divaman
05.03.21 | I remember Popcorn. That was a Jill Schoelen film, right? |
budgie
05.03.21 | diva u should watch more horror |
Divaman
05.03.21 | I used to watch a ton of it. When my daughter was younger, that was one of our things - we used to go to every horror film that came out together, and we watched pretty much every one on Netflix. It's only maybe the last four or five years I haven't seen as many.
These days, I have like a million of them in my watchlist on Netflix and Amazon Prime, but I'm seldom in the mood to actually watch them. |
budgie
05.03.21 | š£š„ |
Divaman
05.03.21 | I watch a lot of videos ABOUT horror films, though. I frequently watch Top 5 Scary Videos, Spooky Astronaut, Bloodbath & Beyond and Mista GG, among others. I just seem to seldom get around to watching the films themselves. |
budgie
05.03.21 | wtf kind of sense does that make!!! its like watching food reviews instead of eatinhg food |

05.03.21 | I think it's about time commitment. |

05.03.21 | Yeah nothing tops Poltergeist |
budgie
05.03.21 | lmao |
Rawmeeth38
05.03.21 | Not sure if its already been said or not but Pulse (2001) |
Divaman
05.03.21 | Geez Eggy, Poltergeist is barely a horror film. It's ET with a couple of ghosts. It was enjoyable enough (I hope we're talking the original, because I didn't even bother to see the sequel), but it was WAY more Spielberg than Tobe Hooper. |
budgie
05.03.21 | i was quite disappoionted with poltergeist |
Divaman
05.03.21 | Never saw it, Rawmeeth, just the American remake. |

Iamthe Nightstars
05.04.21 | @butt. I'm not sure if it's streaming but I watched it on blu ray the other night. I'm lucky enough to have a movie rental store in my city that specializes in horror. I've grown to hate streaming lately because the quality of dvds and blu rays are just so much better. |
budgie
05.04.21 | yeah streaming is shit i just torrent HD shit. if there was a horror rental store nearby id prob a buy a bluray player for sure! |
Divaman
05.04.21 | The last one that really impressed me was probably Cabin in the Woods. I like all the old classic directors - Romero, Carpenter, Hooper, Cronenberg, Craven, and the Italian Gore Meisters. |
cordwainerbird
05.04.21 | cronenberg or bust |
budgie
05.04.21 | speaking of cronenberg
theres a recent remake of rabid
not really worth mentioning tho so idk y i ded lOlOlL LoL lMAO |

05.04.21 | check out blackcoats daughter diva |
Divaman
05.04.21 | I heard that from someone else recently, too. (Or probably from one of the horror vlogs.) I'll check it out.
I'd like to see Psycho Goreman (which I know is a horror comedy), but while it's up on Prime, it's not free. |

05.04.21 | Eggy is probably sleeping now. Hopefully poltergeists will turn over his bed. |

05.04.21 | I've heard of it before, and it sounded kind of fun. But I'm also usually a fan of Nicholas Cage. |
budgie
05.04.21 | its pretty much an evil dead movie, but with animatronics and nic cage instead of bruce campbell. not as compelling and comparatively boring but the setup is still good popcorn horror |
Divaman
05.04.21 | That sounds better than 90% of the crap on my watchlist. |
budgie
05.04.21 | get a better watchlist |

Divaman
05.15.21 | What do you think of Jennifer's Body? (No double entendre intended.) I thought it was really underrated when it came out, although it's starting to get some recognition now. |
budgie
05.15.21 | loved it when it came out love it now sucks people railed on it so hard for no reason |
Divaman
05.15.21 | Yeah, I never got why. I thought it had a lot going for it. |
Divaman
05.17.21 | You steered me wrong budgie. Coal Miner's Daughter wasn't scary at all. |
budgie
05.17.21 | bot i never said it was scary |
butt.
05.17.21 | Oh I watched Rawhead Rex the other night lol I enjoyed it. 80s camp, suuuper Irish. There's one very wtf scene in particular that makes the whole thing worth it. |
Divaman
05.17.21 | Yup ya did |
Divaman
05.17.21 | I think I saw Rawhead Rex ages ago. Don't remember it much. |
budgie
05.17.21 | link me when i said it was scary!!!!!! sdhow ME!!!! |

05.17.21 | I was all like, wtf! Sissy Spacek was MUCH scarier in Carrie. |
budgie
05.17.21 | and her tits were nicer in carrie too |
Divaman
05.17.21 | Yeah, except it's hard to get too worked up while all the others are hitting her with tampons. |
budgie
05.17.21 | i dont mind |
Divaman
05.17.21 | Heh |
Divaman
05.17.21 | Just watched We Summon the Darkness. Not a bad flick. Sissy Spacek isn't in that one. |
budgie
05.17.21 | yeah they play mercyful fate in that movie pretty cool. also the lead is hooooooooly shit |
Divaman
05.17.21 | I think she was also in the Percy Jackson movies. And Johnny Knoxville of Jackass played her father, the pastor. And the blonde girl was in a TV series I used to watch called The Finder. And the third one was the star of the second season of the show Channel Zero. |
budgie
05.17.21 | channel zero girl was also in an okkkkkkkkk movie calllllled blood fest or was it hell fest................... ......... .......... ........... .......... ......... ..... |
Divaman
05.17.21 | Yeah, Hell Fest. She was the lead in that, huh? I saw it, but I don't actually remember her in that one. I do remember her from her Channel Zero season. It was the one season I really liked. |
budgie
05.17.21 | ya s2 was good, maybe i liked s4 more, idk. the flippity pete stabby guy was an awesome "monster"
d'addario was in a cool comedy horror called burying the ex or smthn too, with anton yelchin |
Divaman
05.17.21 | I don't think I saw Season 4. I'm not sure I realized there was one. |
Divaman
05.17.21 | Blood Fest was the other one. It was kind of fun also. |
Divaman
05.17.21 | Black Coat's Daughter was pretty good. I'm not sure I was meant to take it as I did. I had no trouble guessing what I think was supposed to be the surprise of the film, primarily because it took me a while to realize we were working in different timelines. I liked the atmosphere, though. And I usually like Emma Roberts in whatever she's in, and James Remar as well. |
Divaman
05.17.21 | And of course, Sissy Spacek was great. |
budgie
05.17.21 | the big mystery of the film is, was there an actual satanic force inspiring her or was she so distraught from the grief of having lost her parents that she invented the satanic fantasy to find some respite from her loneliness. film is nice for how it's executed ambiguously, you can make reasonable arguments for either reality. that emma roberts and shipka are playing the same character isn't really supposed to be a main "twist" as far as i figure |
Divaman
05.17.21 | It sounded like Wikipedia thought it was. (I find that a lot of the time, I like to read the Wikipedia plot breakdown after watching the film.) I felt like it was, because she introduces herself as Joan. But I didn't fully grasp that we were in a different timeline until James Remar showed her the photo of his daughter. |
Divaman
05.17.21 | The two girls ("Joan" and Kat) looked a lot alike to me, so as soon as I saw Emma Roberts, I wasn't sure if Kat had been played by Emma Roberts all along and I hadn't even realized it. |
Divaman
05.17.21 | And I still don't understand how Loretta Lynn fit in. |
budgie
05.17.21 | it is certainly an interesting development in the story
but again the main mystery is
is satan pulling the strings! or is she crazy |
Divaman
05.18.21 | WHY CAN'T IT BE BOTH?! |
budgie
05.18.21 | no no nONO NO NO NO NO

06.07.21 | also Horror in the High Desert sounds really intriguing. The synopsis makes me think of Lake Mungo. Is it anything like that?
candyman - very ungood 2/5 (how is this a "classic" ?) [2] |

06.07.21 | just watched conjuring 3. i really liked the way it starts with the exorcism just the way these movies usually end. like we already knew that story from conjuring 1 and 2 (and a thousand other films), this is going to be a different movie.
and then it is, its much worse
(spoiler) the way they give away who the villain is when they visit a priest who lives nearby and just happens to know all about the very specific kind of satanic voodo shit that's going on and has a sinister basement. and what the fuck is up with that random fat lady????????? like hey thats fatshaming. |
Let
06.07.21 | Candyman could've been better, but it's own of the few horror movies I can think of depicting a "spirit of vengeance" that isn't some lover that was scorned or something like that, and some legitimate commentary on top of that. Les Martyrs is my list, there's a great rym list of 'black metal' movies and it's on that.
@butt. I'm familiar, too aimless for me but I can appreciate the visuals and atmosphere.
@budgie just reminded me I have to see lake mungo
I saw Onibaba recently, pacing was a bit frustrating but it had some incredible cinematography and lighting. |

06.08.21 | But Aliens 2 has aliens. Evil Dead 2 has demons. Jaws has a shark.

Divaman
06.09.21 | First time I ever heard it referred to as "horror" with when YouTube started making Top 10 Horror lists. imbd refers to it as a thriller and an adventure flick, and Wikipedia as a thriller. For decades, lists of best horror films highlighted movies like The Exorcist, Night of the Living Dead, etc., without ever mentioning Jaws. (And if they considered Jaws a horror flick, it definitely would have been on there, because it's clearly one of the great popular films ever.)
Like I said, in the end, I don't suppose it matters what genre you put it into. But I 100% agree with Gyro - it's not a horror film, although it certainly has horrific elements. |

06.09.21 | "Librarian of Congress James H. Billington today announced his annual selection of 25 motion pictures to be added to the National Film Registry. (See attached list.) This group of titles brings the total number of films placed on the Registry to 325.
Under the terms of the National Film Preservation Act, each year the Librarian of Congress names 25 "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant motion pictures to the Registry. The list is designed to reflect the full breadth and diversity of America's film heritage, thus increasing public awareness of the richness of American cinema and the need for its preservation. As Dr. Billington said: "Our film heritage is America's living past. It celebrates the creativity and inventiveness of diverse communities and our nation as a whole. By preserving American films, we safeguard a significant element of our cultural history."
This year's selections span the 20th century from 1913-1988, and encompass films ranging from Hollywood classics to lesser-known, but still vital, works. Among films named this year: All the King's Men, Robert Rossen's stunning political drama based on Robert PennWarren's novel; Cologne, a home movie doubling as an illuminating and fascinating social documentary of a 1930s Minnesota town; House in the Middle, a not-to-be-missed, 1950s-era civil defense film showing that neatness and cleanliness equal survival in the nuclear age; Jaws, the landmark horror film that created the phenomenon known as the "summer movie"..." |

06.09.21 | even though it can also be viewed as an action movie or thriller or adventure whatever the fuck, Jaws is definitely allowed to be considered horror
the movie is about a fucking monster that eats people alive for christ's sake |

06.09.21 | Fucking thank you
Also when I was a kid I believed the shark had supernatural powers.
I may still believe that. |
Divaman
06.09.21 | Anyone is allowed to consider it whatever they want. But part of my point is that it's not about a "monster" -- it's about shark, a force of nature to be sure, but a creature that actually exists. There's no "evil" involved, per se -- although they start to hint that something almost supernatural is going on in the sequels, and they consequently get more and more ridiculous. From the shark's point of view, though, it's just doing what sharks do. |
Sharenge
06.09.21 | the shark in Jaws is a monster
if the shark in Jaws can't be a monster, then people can't be monsters either |

06.09.21 | Diva you are indeed allowed to consider that.

06.09.21 | Then we're all agreed. If you guys want to consider it a horror film you may. I don' consider it a horror film for the reasons I have stated. I will continue to know in my heart that you are all wrong, and you can continue to be sure that I'm wrong. |

budgie
06.09.21 | I don' consider it a horror film for the reasons I have stated.
the films: open water, the shallows, the reef, you dont consider horror either? what about frozen, people stuck on skilift who later get eaten by wolves, not horror film? what about the birds - normal everyday animals doing what animals do, attacking people sometimes for no reason, that doesn't qualify as a horror film. i think you might be the only person in the world who thinks creature features cant involve real animals. theres crawl, rogue, black water, all with alligators/crocs acting like alligators/crocs, no more fantasy than jaws hunting people and climbing onto boats |
protokute
06.09.21 | damn are you guys still going on with the shark movie |
Divaman
06.09.21 | >It's like there's a whole sub-layer of communication that diva doesn't pick up on
OR maybe I'm just seeing it from a clearer vantage point, and that's the way it appears to you guys. Gyro gets it.
|
budgie
06.09.21 | the fact that gyro agrees with you is a mark against you |
Divaman
06.09.21 | >the films: open water, the shallows, the reef, you dont consider horror either?
I haven't had enough interest to see any of those, but I suspect that no, I wouldn't consider them horror either. I think I either need supernatural elements, or in the case of films about human killers, at least the presence of evil. |
Divaman
06.09.21 | I could give you another example of one that I don't consider horror, but I suspect it would only make you more frustrated. |

06.09.21 | not only is jaws absolutely a horror movie, but it's actually more specifically a slasher |
Divaman
06.09.21 | >this discourse has obviously been about whether or not conventional wisdom considers jaws horror
And in all fairness, I'd have to say that the evidence is inconclusive. As I told you, neither imbd nor Wikipedia list it as horror, but as some combination of adventure or thriller. Rotten Tomatoes lists it as horror/adventure. Rex Reed and that soulless government bureaucrat you quoted both used the phrase "horror" in their description. It really wasn't marketed at the time using the term "horror", probably because the use of that word might have actually cut down on their audience - there are a lot of people who are open to seeing an adventure film or a summer blockbuster who wouldn't necessarily be open to seeing what they thought was a horror flick. I haven't been able to find any quotes from Spielberg on the subject, although I suspect that if you asked him if he'd made a horror film, he'd deny it. But there are certainly horrific elements to it.
And let's face it, the conventional wisdom isn't always wise. |
Divaman
06.09.21 | So given all that, I'm perfectly OK with you continuing to pretend it's a horror film. |

06.09.21 | I sure hope all this makes budgie happy |
Divaman
06.09.21 | I had to pass this one along immediately. I just asked my daughter whether Jaws was a horror movie or not a horror movie. Her response: "I feel like Jaws would seem like a horror movie to someone who's never seen a horror movie." |
Divaman
06.09.21 | (tearing up:) I'm soooo proud! |
butt.
06.10.21 | In case another opinion is needed here, Jaws is absolutely a horror film |
budgie
06.10.21 | butt you watxh greener grass yet |
alamo
07.14.21 | should i just watch happy death day for the fifth time tonight |
budgie
07.14.21 | oooh yeah i need to update this
i liked that movie, did you like the sequel?
also the movie palm springs is kinda similar |
budgie
07.14.21 | house 1977 - 2/5
jawbreaker 1999 - cute teen killer drama comedy stuff 2.5/5
suburban gothic 2014 - least fav from this director but still decent 3/5
basket case 1982 - hilarious 3/5
after.life 2009 - uh liked it way better than everybody else seems to treat it, but i love ambiguous death-romance storylines 3.5/5
queen of spades 2021 - pretty by-the-books teens unearth an evil spirit and try to survive it but i love that shit 3/5
once bitten 1985 - jim carrey 80s vampire horror comedy but it sucks 2/5
alyce kills 2011 - unloved girl turns serial killer and the gore is exceptional, great example of an underrated game 3.5/5
bloody diner 1987 - fucking batshit 3.5/5
devil's island 2021 - indie horror where pretty much nothing happens bout a girl in rural america who faces down a lone killer 1/5
separation 2021 - another pretty by-the-books haunting film but all the components were well done and i enjoyed it well enough ALSO FUCKING GIA MARGARET IS IN THE SOUNDTRACK that surprised me to hell i cant even get you motherfuckers to listen to her first LP 3/5
till death 2021 - megan fox tries to survive some hitmen while chained to a corpse in a rural setting but the film is really uncompelling ill give it a 2.5/5 cuz megan fox is rad
werewolves within 2021 - quirky comedy horror that relies on its strong dialogue and acting 4/5
untitled horror movies 2021 - check it if you LOVE found footage but even though i LOVE found footage it's only a 2/5
my boyfriend's back 1993 - oh look another underwhelming 90's film 2/5
fear street part I 2021 - had lots of good stuff had lots of bad stuff so it's right in the middle at a 2.5/5
caveat 2020 - uhhh ambient slowburn style, some awesomely creepy moments, not sure what the film is missing but has a lot working for it, just didn't execute fully 3/5
walled in 2009 - some cool ideas here but more of a TV film pretty skippable 2.5/5
also black summer season 2 is really kickass if you like (fast) zombies
|
alamo
07.14.21 | i hated the sequel =(((((((( thought it was like a children's afterschool spooky telenovela ep. bummer because i love the first one
no idea there was a new megan fox horror gonna watch that |
budgie
07.14.21 | for sure, the sequel sort of annoyed me because it just felt like they extended the first one without any real purpose. just milking it |
Egarran
07.21.21 | Train To Busan - Cool zombies, some cool characters, hamfisted plot. So a classic zombie movie. 6.5/10
Nothing will ever top OG Dawn of the Dead, man. |
budgie
07.21.21 | speaking of, have you seen sorgenfri yet?! |
Egarran
07.21.21 | oh fuck no sorry, gonna get it rn |
Egarran
07.31.21 | BUDGIE BUDGIE I SAW SORGENFRI
I dislike most Danish movies so I had low expectations and OK I did cringe a lot, but the second half was fine.
6.5/10, so just as good as Train To Busan.
|
budgie
07.31.21 | hehe cool :D :D |
butt.
08.01.21 | About to go see Green Knight. When I saw trailer before COVID happened, I remember thinking it looked like medieval/fantasy horrorā¦but looking at IMDb there doesnāt appear to be any horror there. Oh well |
JeetJeet
08.01.21 | "also black summer season 2 is really kickass"
Bruhhhhhh its amazing. First season was entertaining but the 2nd one is probably the best zombie tv show we've got in a long time. |
JeetJeet
08.01.21 | People keep tryna get me to watch Fear Street trilogy and the first movie is unbearable and I have yet to finish it. |
budgie
08.01.21 | duuuuuuude everyone loves the trilogy. the intro segment of the first movie was alright as a scream homage, but from that point on it just gets worse and worse and worse and eventually the third film is a low budget period piece with the most hilarious fake irish accents i couldn't take it and ended halfway through. |
budgie
08.01.21 | ooh btw blood red sky is an alright vampire flick. pretty long though. prob 3ish/5 |
butt.
08.01.21 | Green Knight was pretty coo btw, not horror but definitely had some classic A24 horror vibes on occasion. And yeah Fear Street is exactly what youād expect it to be, I enjoy the trilogy for what it is but probably wonāt watch again |
budgie
08.01.21 | noted. anyone see Old yet? |
alamo
08.01.21 | should i watch scream queens for the 5th time |
alamo
08.01.21 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIujexzy8jY this is still the funniest scene of anything i ever watched ever |
alamo
08.01.21 | you get stds from dirty toilet steats and drinking water in mexico |
budgie
08.01.21 | scream queens is literally my favorite fucking thing in the entire universe
also yes |
Sharenge
08.01.21 | "nothing will ever top OG Dawn of the Dead"
Night of the Living Dead had it topped from the start |
budgie
08.01.21 | i rly prefer 2004 remake lol sry eg. |
Egarran
08.01.21 | You're not sorry |
Hyperion1001
08.01.21 | "noted. anyone see Old yet?"
yeah, its decent. props to m. night for being one of the only mainstream guys that actually tries to make something new and novel. unfortunately, the ending really kind of deflates the whole thing. some cool shots and setpieces though.
if you havent been to the theater in forever id say its worth a trip on a sunday. |
Egarran
08.01.21 | Alright I wanna go to the cinema so that's a good bet |
budgie
01.19.22 | ghostbusters: afterlife: 3/5 was fine but like i havent seen the others so i was confused af. maybe it relied overly on meta references and that kind of fucked up the film as a standalone effort but that prob doesnt matter to other ppl who have seen the ogs
jeepers creepers 2: 3/5 pretty cool man idk i really liked it actually
candyman 2.5/5: making the candyman a woke hero was kind of an eye rolling decision n it didnt work for me sorry
titane: 2/5 literally what the fuck happened why cant france make good horror
demonic 1/5 poo
silent night .5/5 had kiera knightly in it for some reason but it was truly awful
resident evil welcome to raccoon city 3/5: pretty fucking awesome honestly i love it
black friday 3/5: pretty sweet horror comedy has ash from evil dead. nothing exceptional here though
the beta test 3/5: great
witch hunt 2/5:i dont remember this but i gave it a 2/5 so 2/5
come true 3.5/5 hey this was interesting dream horror check it out
rent-a-pal 2/5 lol this was rough
|
Egarran
01.19.22 | YOU HAVENT SEEN GHOSTBUSTERS WTF |
budgie
01.19.22 | i had a date night with ur mom to watch it but got covid |
Divaman
01.19.22 | So have you come back to finally admit that Jaws was not a horror film? Very good, I accept your apology. |
budgie
01.19.22 | DIVA NO |
Divaman
01.19.22 | I'm just glad you were finally able to see the light. |
Hyperion1001
01.19.22 | yeah jaws is a slasher agreed |
budgie
01.19.22 | ITS A FUCKING HORROR MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!! |
budgie
01.19.22 | š„µš„µš„µš„µš”š”š”š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬ |
Divaman
01.19.22 | Oh budgie, you're such a kidder. |
budgie
01.19.22 | im gonna fuck ur mom |
Divaman
01.19.22 | She's been gone for many years. How's YOUR Mom, though? |
budgie
01.19.22 | dont talk abt my mom |
Divaman
01.19.22 | She's still with us, I hope. |
Divaman
01.19.22 | It is. |
alamo
01.19.22 | is slasher not a guns n roses guitarist |
Hyperion1001
01.19.22 | ābasic take incoming but um uh is slasher not a subgenre of horror.....???ā
absolutely it is, which makes jawsā¦
a horror film :-) |
Egarran
01.19.22 | >i had a date night with ur mom to watch it but got covid
Aw thanks for being considerate. I'm always slightly afraid to unwittingly cause her death from e.g. contagion. |
Egarran
01.19.22 | the shark is supernatural
possibly a priest of Cthulhu |
Divaman
01.20.22 | What in God's name does Jaws have to do with slasher films? |
budgie
01.20.22 | shut up diva just shut up |
Divaman
01.20.22 | Anyway, it's been great to see you budgie, and again, I accept your apology for erroneously claiming that Jaws is a horror film. I'm sad you have to leave again. Come and visit again someday. |
wwf
01.20.22 | If yall are looking for good recent horror movies, Caveat fucking slaps
I also recommend His House and Saint Maud, both of those are very chilling as well
I think Saint Maud and Caveat have both been brought up before itt, but His House hasn't which is kind of a shame |
Rowan5215
01.20.22 | His House was fantastic and really moving
Caveat had a couple scary as hell scenes, but on the whole I was lukewarm towards it. really rough acting and dialogue and it looked hella cheap in the bad way, plot was pretty ludicrous too. but yeah that one scene near the end was fire
I guess Saint Maud was fine but we're reaching the point where A24 movies are just remixing older A24 movies and it's kinda ridiculous. they straight up bit the Black Philip scene from The Vvitch and tried to play it off as their own, that shit got on my nerves lol |
Egarran
01.20.22 | It was a good scene tho |
wwf
01.22.22 | I dont remember the black phillip scene in Saint Maud at all lmao |
budgie
01.22.22 | thanks for the recs wff |
Egarran
01.22.22 | imagine not having seen Ghostbusters
it's not possible |
neekafat
01.22.22 | Is this where budgie told me to see Beast and that film was bad |
butt.
01.22.22 | wow this thread is still going, nice job bros. some of my recent watches:
- Midnight Mass: mini series, fucking incredible, stop what you're doing and watch right now
- The Toxic Avenger: classic 80s troma weirdness, not sure how it took me this long to finally watch. hopefully the remake with elijah wood is good
- Parents:awkward kid spends movie trying to figure out what's up with his weird parents. Also 80s, starring Randy Quaid. Thought this would be a more fast-paced campy/funny movie, but actually kind of a slowburn and not quite what I wanted |
budgie
03.15.22 | jigsaw - 2/5 this franchise sucks dick
saw 3d - 1.5/5 this franchise sucks dick
saw 6 - 1.5/5 this franchise sucks dick
saw 5 - 1.5/5 this franchise sucks dick
saw 4 - 1.5/5 this franchise sucks dick
saw 3 - 2.5/5 this franchise sucks dick
saw 2 - 2/5 this franchise sucks dick
pulse (US) - 1.5/5 garbage
buffy the vampire slayer (movie) 3/5 good
texas chainsaw massacre (2022) - 4.5 fan fucking tastic

leatherface 2.5 meh

titane 2/5 wtf?
demonic 2021 1/5 poo
|
budgie
03.15.22 | i loved midnight mass (monologues got a little weird, moreso than haunting of hill house) |
Egarran
03.15.22 | I saw the monologues described as stoner talk. I guess that's why I like them. |
porcupinetheater
03.15.22 | Woah I forgot there was an American remake of Pulse |
porcupinetheater
03.15.22 | What's the consensus on Stitches round here, watched it the other night and had a good ass time |
budgie
03.15.22 | yeah egarran i liked them too for the most part but i think the final one about being an astral aggregate or whatever skated really close to r/im14andthisisdeep type material. in philosophical exposition less is usually more |
budgie
03.15.22 | ill check stitches 2nite! |
porcupinetheater
03.15.22 | stitches had some big fun kills in it. Good stuff with an umbrella |
Egarran
03.17.22 | Denmark is abuzz with praise of SPEAK NO EVIL - an attempt at making 'the most unpleasant Danish movie ever'. And this is Von trier country, but people do seem to be adequately fucked up by it.
So I guess that's a recommendation. |
budgie
03.17.22 | u lost me at von trier |
Egarran
03.17.22 | urgh are we still doing that bit |
budgie
03.17.22 | bing bong butt |
wwf
03.20.22 | The Medium is really good. Uneven but affective |
Divaman
03.27.22 | Saw Halloween Kills tonight. It was by no means a classic, but it was a fun enough way to spend an evening. |
Hyperion1001
03.27.22 | saw x tonight it was awesome |
budgie
03.27.22 | ive been into true crime related stuff lately but seems like most of the productions are pretty bad. the richard ramirez one on netflix was solid, though
excited to see X. ti west rules |
JeetJeet
03.27.22 | The new Scream movie is awesome. |
budgie
03.27.22 | i was a bit bummed with scream 5 |
Divaman
03.27.22 | I haven't seen it, but I know of a certain death in it that I object to. |
budgie
03.27.22 | it's true *cries |
butt.
03.27.22 | Did anybody see Studio 666? Fun little slasher type with Foo Fighters. They released the metal album from the movie on Friday, which is also actually really good (if you like metal). Same day drummer died. Eerie stuff. |
Divaman
03.27.22 | *cries also |
Divaman
03.27.22 | I haven't butt, but I'd like to. The trailer looked pretty funny. |
budgie
03.27.22 | im gonna skip out on studio 666. "metal" culture mixed with pop or horror media makes me squirm uncomfortably
truth be told there's nothing on the horizon that i give a shit about and its kind of sad
the current show FROM is fun, though
synopsis is like, people end up in a weird town in middle america they cant drive away from, and "people" come out of the woods at night and try to get inside to eat them
very much popcorn entertainment dont expect more |
Egarran
03.27.22 | > "metal" culture mixed with pop or horror media makes me squirm uncomfortably
I maintain you should read The Ritual. |
butt.
03.27.22 | ""metal" culture mixed with pop or horror media makes me squirm uncomfortably"
budgie, i love you, but what the fuck is this sentence |
butt.
03.27.22 | also going to throw out Trick or Treat (1986) and The Devil's Candy (2015) as other great metal-themed horror movies. |
budgie
03.28.22 | wellll likeeee 80s movies dont come out anymore cuz its 2022 im talking more contemporary crap like deathgasm we summon the darkness & that mayhem/burzum movie |
budgie
03.28.22 | alsoooooo liiiiiiiiiiiiiiike devils candy didnt really heavy metal cuuuuuuuuulture in it really it was just liiiiiiiike a guy playing a flying v |
butt.
03.28.22 | I guess I see what you're getting at. Yeah I know the Burzum movie you're talking about, the one starring Rory Culkin? I thought it was decent but often missed the mark. Hard to pull that kind of thing off without being cringe |
Egarran
04.17.22 | Hey the Internet Archive has lots of old scfi/horror goodies:
https://archive.org/details/SciFi_Horror
I strongly recommend House on Haunted Hill. |
budgie
04.17.22 | i finished the show From the other night
was ok
monsters are ok
idk if i recommend it
|
butt.
04.17.22 | X was pretty great btw |
JeetJeet
04.17.22 | yea X is the best horror movie of this year so far. |
JeetJeet
04.17.22 | Cronenbergs new movie looks like some good sci-fi body horror shit. Cant wait to see how that turns out. |
budgie
04.18.22 | i didnt really like X at all |
budgie
04.28.22 | no exit was super good |
butt.
04.28.22 | Not necessarily horror but pretty stoked to see The Northman tonight |
Divaman
04.28.22 | Been watching a lot of Youtube videos by The Horror Geek, reviewing a lot of films of the 80s. It seems like a lot of fun horror movies were made then, compared to now. |
budgie
04.28.22 | 80s always feels like the classic horror decade. looked up my letterboxd out of curiosity and
ive seen 70 horror films released in the 80s
and 413 horror films released in the 2010s
so maybe it's survivorship bias |
budgie
04.28.22 | seen (at least, rated) 110 horrors from the 2000s
104 from the 2020's somehow lol
35 from the 90s
20 from the 70s
7 from the 60s
very interesting |
budgie
04.28.22 | too bad letterboxd cant give me my average rating by decade |
Divaman
04.28.22 | Any idea of your percentages of good (or fun) horrors in each decade? |
budgie
04.28.22 |
2020's = 2.33
2010's = 2.72
2000's = 2.85
90s = 2.83
80s = 3.23
70s = 3.27 |
Divaman
04.28.22 | Yeah, that was kind of my feeling too. |
budgie
04.28.22 | i would in any case give the win to 2010's just because of how much good content there is |
butt.
04.28.22 | Damn I wish IMDb would give me those kinds of analytics. Is there any way to mass dump IMDb ratings to letterboxd? Lol |
budgie
04.28.22 | letterboxd didnt feed me those alas |
butt.
04.28.22 | Oh what did? |
budgie
04.28.22 | my calculator š
|
butt.
04.28.22 | I meant the comment about # of horrors btw, which does sound like it came from LB |
budgie
04.28.22 | https://letterboxd.com/about/importing-data/ looks like you can import some data from imdb |
budgie
04.28.22 | ah yeah letterboxd you can sort by decade and it reads the # of entries |
Divaman
04.28.22 | Shoot me your top 10 from the 2010's. |
budgie
04.28.22 | super dark times, the blackcoat's daughter, banshee chapter, red state, 10 cloverfield lane, bad match, extracurricular, troll hunter, what we become, ready or not
|
budgie
04.28.22 | + the night sitter & greener grass, both underrated & fun |
Divaman
04.28.22 | Think the only one of those I've seen is Blackcoat's Daughter. |
butt.
04.28.22 | Honestly that movie kinda bored me, a rare A24 miss. 10 Cloverfield is amazing and Red State is decent |
budgie
04.28.22 | ill run you down the subgenres diva to see if one interests you
super dark times - really dark drama about some highschool kids who are dealing with a friends accidental death
banshee chapter - lovecraftian x hunter s. thompson mash up about a drug that exposes you to extradimensional monsters
red state - hyper evangelical christian cult in the countryside who are trying to ready up for the uuh rapture or whatever. has john goodman
10 cloverfield lane - some peeps try to ride out possibly the apocalypse possibly an environmental disaster in a doomsday bunker. has john goodman
bad match - paranoia causes an internet hookup to turn violent
extracurricular - highschool kids involved in serial murders. i think it has strong scream vibes
troll hunter - subtle comedy folk horror found footage about trolls in norway
what we become - danish zombie film kind of showing the pre-outbreak to containment to outbreak
ready or not - comedy horror about old money family who does a traditional murder-hunt game and it's just fucking amazing
the night sitter - lower budget evil dead 2 style comedy horror with fun comedy about witches in a suburban setting
greener grass - surreal suburban tongue in cheek existentialist ish film that i dont really know how to explain but i loved it
|
Divaman
04.28.22 | My list would definitely include Cabin in the Woods and Train to Busan. |
budgie
04.28.22 | good 1s fo sho |
butt.
04.29.22 | The Witch, Hereditary, and Midsommar would easily make my top 10 of the 2010s. Cabin in the Woods for sure, and maybe Get Out |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.29.22 | Lamb |
budgie

04.01.23 | Budgie do you not know your own taste by this point? Why spend so much time watching stuff youāll obviously not find any enjoyment in? Also youāre wrong about the menu, the pretentiousness is the joke |
butt.
04.01.23 | Holy shit youāre extra wrong about Nope. Get outta here. Such a damn good movie, by almost every standard |
budgie
04.01.23 | "Why spend so much time watching stuff youāll obviously not find any enjoyment in?"
it's not obvious though. & finding one film i love is worth slogging through 20 below average productions |
budgie
04.01.23 | i'm not wrong about the menu, i just don't think "the pretentiousness is the joke" is worthwhile |

04.02.23 | rewatched banshee chapter and vamp over the past couple nights, i think banshee chapter must be my most rewatched film of all time, it's just flawless

Hyperion1001
04.02.23 | i tried to watch blood quantum last night and it was one of the worst things Iāve seen in years. maybe the worst script Iāve seen actually make it to production. |
budgie
04.02.23 | lmao i totally watched some of that before def didnt finish |
Egarran
04.21.23 | Finally saw Colour Out of Space.
Better than expected (considering my movie oracle budgie hates it). Really liked that they didn't pull any punches, it just got grosser and weirder and eventually acheived the sacred 80's vibes. Excellent stoner movie. Cage's lunacy even made sense.
3.9/5 |
budgie
04.21.23 | noice bumps i remember colour out of space being okay
new evil dead is in theaters now i guess? |
budgie
04.21.23 | only horro i watched recently is watching DC. was low budget found footage pretty... okay |

04.26.23 | new evil dead is fine, didn't live up to expectations tho |
budgie
04.26.23 | seems like the world wide web is pretty happy with 6, glad to see im not the only one bummed
|
butt.
04.26.23 | Just saw Evil Dead Rise last night, loved it, kicked ass. The peephole scene was a ton of fun, and the uhhh thing towards the end. That was definitely something new. |
budgie
04.26.23 | i'm fookn excited to check it. this weekend i guess |
Thalassic
04.26.23 | Scream 6 was meh
I didn't really like any of the Scream sequels tbh, but I absolutely worship the original |
budgie
04.26.23 | i worship the original too. 4th is pretty close though, i really really really really love the 4th. you should recheck it maybe
|
budgie
05.04.23 | has anyone seen Clock? i fucking loved it 4/5 finally a good horror film huh. |
Faraudo
05.04.23 | Just saw Evil Dead: Rise in theaters and fucking hell, what a ride. Could potentially become one of my favorite horror films of all time, it offers everything I love about the genre in such a well-realized, loving manner. |
butt.
05.04.23 | yeah it was awesome
@budgie nope haven't heard of clock. anyone watch Glory Hole yet? I keep meaning to get to that one |
Egarran
05.05.23 | Saw Clock. B-movie pregnancy horror but with a strong lead and enough nice details to make it worth it. 3/5 |
budgie
05.05.23 | ending made it for me. love that shit |
budgie
05.05.23 | butte what glory hole? i cant find it |
budgie
05.06.23 | rewatched werewolves within. saw it when it came out but it didnt leave a great impression i guess, loved it this time. good humooooooooooor
still looking for glory hole buttt |

Iamthe Nightstars
06.04.23 | Donnie Darko was amazing when I was a teenager but I watched it again recently and it did not age well at all for me. |
budgie
06.04.23 | i saw donnie darko for the first time last.. spring i think and i loved it in a deep way. maybe im edgy or somethin
made me so deeply sad

BaselineOOO
06.04.23 | I am not a huge fan of horror movies, can someone recommend me a horror that can impress even me?
These are my highest rated horrors so far:
https://rateyourmusic.com/film_collection/I0000days/strm_h,ss.rd/horror |
budgie
06.04.23 | wording it as "find something to impress me" makes me feel like you don't go into these films looking for entertainment. the degree to which art leaves on impression on you is determined by weird personal shit that none of us can possibly know
maybe indicate something about horror films that you enjoy and you might get some recs that would work |
90m80s
06.04.23 | yeah u should watch romcoms instead |
budgie
06.04.23 | hey m80s he likes lynch u should eat eachothers asses |

06.04.23 | i bet u would love twin peaks bugdie |
BaselineOOO
06.04.23 | "maybe indicate something about horror films that you enjoy and you might get some recs that would work"
I like in horror:
teen characters dealing with something beyond their understanding
mystery
fantastical creatures
sexy powerful female characters
hero-like muscular male characters
extremely simple plot
I don't like in horror:
political commentary
excessive gore
non-fantasy vileness (human villain)
ridiculousness
psychological plot |
budgie
06.04.23 | running with "teen characters dealing with fantasy creatures"
it follows, it ch 1/2/tv movie, fright night 1/2, the blob 1988, boys in the trees, ill say super dark times even though its not supernatural, return of the living dead part 2, vamp 1986 & night of the creeps & night of the demons 1/2 are college but i guess thats late teen, disturbing behavior & the faculty, first nightmare on elm street if youve somehow never seen that |
BaselineOOO
06.04.23 | Thanks, I've seen some of those, I'll check the rest of 'em out. |

butt.
08.06.23 | In the past week, I have watched:
Deadstream (2022) - kinda sucked
The Deadly Spawn (1983) - quite fun, relatively low budget
Magic (1978) - Anthony Hopkins and a creepy puppet. It rocked.
From Beyond (1986) - classic campy Lovecraft 80s fun. Plus Barbara Cramptonās nips |
butt.
08.06.23 | Also I realized I mislead you a while back, the movie was called Glorious (not Glory Hole). I still havenāt seen it but really want to |
budgie
08.06.23 | yeah i thought deadstream kinda sucked too
i watched blood (2022) today it was nice family drama, like maggie but vampire instead of zombo
havent seen from beyond in a million years should revisit |
budgie
08.06.23 | black water: abyss - bad croc movie
bird box barcelona - liked it quite a bit more than the first
|
budgie
08.06.23 | crytid (2022) looks promising though |
Egarran
08.06.23 | Good to see you budg!
Can anyone rec
Ready or Not
The Night House
A Cure For Wellness
Devilās Due
The Empty Man
Fresh
The Night House |
budgie
08.06.23 | are you asking us if we like those?
ready or not is IMO the best horror comedy this century, totally flawless
the night house, a cure for wellness, the empty man, all have lovecraft vibes
the night house i think relied too much on metaphor or whatever. good production but story was just a vehicle for awkward poeticism
a cure for wellness was a more straightforward gothic lovecraft story with a cool villain
the empty man is "weird" horror and was a total fever dream but i loved it
fresh is more of a thriller but was very good
devil's due never heard of it |
wwf
08.06.23 | You watch Talk to Me yet budgie |
budgie
08.07.23 | waiting for the torrents |
butt.
08.07.23 | Honestly, I was shocked at how mid Ready or Not was after hearing all the praise. Iām such an easy critic but everything about that movie felt amateur to me. Devilās Due is fun is you like Paranormal Activity or similar found footage style movies. Otherwise ignore it |
butt.
08.07.23 | āBest horror comedy this centuryā
budgie have you seen any other horror comedies this century?! |
Azazzel
08.07.23 | 2 mentions of Bliss 2019 and neither about how there's a dope ass ISIS track scored for the climax - won't spoil which one :)
anybody here should relate to the grungy live punk/metal music and painter plot |
wwf
08.07.23 | 'budgie have you seen any other horror comedies this century?!'
nah let him cook, ready or not is flawless |
bellovddd
08.07.23 | the empty man was almost really good. |
wwf
08.07.23 | I liked it but I kind of immediately forgot everything about it as soon as it was over |
wwf
08.07.23 | Oh also Talk to Me is great. It has one of the best endings in a horror movie I've seen this decade probably |
bellovddd
08.07.23 | ye it was an above average attempt at whats been done countlessly before. |
wwf
08.07.23 | I think budgie's right that the empty man felt like a weird fever dream because remembering wtf happened in it literally was like trying to remember what happens in a dream |
Faraudo
08.07.23 | Just rewatched Evil Dead Rise again and its sooo fucking good. |
bellovddd
08.07.23 | still haven't watched that as of yet. I'm a big Bruce Campbell fan so I am a bit sus about watching it. |
budgie
08.07.23 | "budgie have you seen any other horror comedies this century?!"
what would you put above it? looking at my letterboxd the only one i rated higher is murder party.
|
bellovddd
08.07.23 | Willys Wonderland and Freaky I would rate higher. I am not a big fan of ready or not though. also check out a movie called Come To Daddy staring Elijah Wood. Its great! |
Egarran
08.07.23 | >are you asking us if we like those?
Perfect answer, thank you. |
BaselineOOO
08.07.23 | My favorite horrors:
1) Possession (1981)
2) Rosemary's Baby (1968)
3) Audition (1999) / Cure (1997)
4) Inland Empire (2006)
5) Perfect Blue (1997)
6) Onibaba (1964)
7) The Shining (1980)
8) The Wailing (2016)
9) Hour of the Wolf (1968)
10) Alien (1979)
11) The Blair Witch Project (1999)
12) Kill List (2011)
13) Jennifer's Body (2009)
14) The Innocents (1961)
15) The Thing (1982)
Some of these are psychological horrors, yes. Recommend me stuff based on this list please. |
bellovddd
08.07.23 | Check out the entity 1982. Kind of like possession. |
butt.
08.07.23 | Damn budgie what? I enjoyed Murder Party but weāre talking about BEST horror comedies of the past 23 years right??? Just off the top of my head, some obvious winners: Shaun of the Dead, Tucker & Dale, Cabin in the Woods, What We Do in the Shadows. There are plenty more that I personally prefer over Ready or Not, but these are at least the ones that most people wouldnāt argue with. |
budgie
08.07.23 | hoooey, i think shaun of the dead is dreadful, cabin feels too contrived and deliberate, and the entertainment is wholly meta-masturbation, there's nothing else behind it, like it's too much of a fan service, comic-book horror movie. tucker & dale is fantastic but the last act drags hard, what we do is fantastic but doesn't really scratch the horror itch. ready or not and murder party both have perf. horror-comedy balance, have great pacing and strong endings.. murder party's ultimate villain esp. his transformation from the passive guy in the background is awesome "EVERYONE DIES" and ready or not has a standout scream queen performance |
Egarran
08.07.23 | Uh oh butt and bud butting butts. |
butt.
08.07.23 | idk man, if thereās one movie that all horror fans can agree is an untouchable horror comedy, itās Shaun of the dead. The movie is universally beloved and this is genuinely the first time Iāve heard someone say they donāt like it (let alone, call it dreadful). Canāt even relate to this sentiment |
budgie
08.07.23 | hey man we are on a cunty elitist music website what the heck do you think youre doing considering popular opinion. tsk tsk unreal. all cred out the window |
butt.
08.08.23 | pshhh as if I had any cred left to begin with |
budgie
08.08.23 | hey butt check out the passenger, just came out |
butt.
08.08.23 | Doesnāt look like itās streaming anywhere. Where did you see it |
budgie
08.08.23 | i torrented it but its also on hurawatch. but if you cant stream hurawatch i can upload to my google drive and send you link just lemme know. i really really really loved it actually |
Egarran
08.09.23 | Butt said it best when he said 'I was shocked at how mid Ready or Not was after hearing all the praise.'
Nothing worse than high expectations. If only you had you called it braindead fun. I was ready for some Get Out quality.
Mostly I missed atmosphere, plot and good kills. |
budgie
08.10.23 | cryptid was ass |
bellovddd
08.10.23 | just watched a classic again from 87 - street trash. what a wild ride. |
butt.
08.10.23 | Nice! Classic indeed |
MillionDead
08.10.23 | Talk to Me was the best new horror flick I've seen in ages. It was sooo morbid and dismal, ultimately. The limited gore was powerful and used perfectly to taste. The premise took some suspension of disbelief but beyond that, you were totally just along for the ride. I loved how there was basically no CG too. Awesome practical effects,more movies need to do that, ESPECIALLY horror. They made the ghosts look terrifying. Lol the greasy crawling toesucker lady skeezed me all the way out. |
butt.
08.10.23 | Iām seeing it tomorrow. Stoked. |
bellovddd
08.10.23 | Im keen for talk to me. I've heard so many good things I gotta see it. |
butt.
08.12.23 | Talk to Me kicked ass. Very heavy and bleak, but very well done. I wholeheartedly recommend it. |

11.02.23 | friday night at freddys or whatever is pretty meh so far the nic cage one was a step above |

11.02.23 | mini catchup since blood

cryptid 2022 1/5 garbage
insidious red door 2023 2/5 i dont remember anything
girl with all the gifts 2015 1.5/5 rewatched it and fucking hated the ending SO MUCH
night of the living dead og 3/5 its fine def not a classic..

meg 2 1/5 w/e
talk to me 3/5
elevator game 2/5

butt.
11.03.23 | Agreed that the nic cage movie was better than FNAF |
bellovddd
11.03.23 | Willys Wonderland is a great watch. FNAF is like a watered down version of it.

11.22.23 | guys i think horror is dead |

butt.
11.24.23 | I saw Thanksgiving the other day. Happy to say Eli Roth knocked it out of the park! Such a fun slasher with great practical effects. Donāt sleep on it bros. |
bellovddd
11.24.23 | I've been hearing nothing but good things. nice to hear they used practical effects also. |
MoM
11.24.23 | ā guys i think horror is deadā
Nah |
Egarran
11.24.23 | Every budgie take in this thread is an inversion of truth. |
MoM
11.24.23 | Yeah, like, thereās shitty horror out there, been when hasnāt there? Still some excellent movies every year |
budgie
11.24.23 | absence of good horror is the takeaway babe
per my letterboxd ive seen 169 releases since 2020 with 7 4.0s, 0 4.5s, 0 5.0s, 5 of the 4.0s are from 21' or before
and 437 films from the 2010s with 37 4.0s, 9 4.5s, and 2 5.0s.
pretty clear there is a trend: 4.8 4.0+s per year in the 2010s and a third of that rate in the 2020s. if X, nope, malignant, the conjuring pt 2 are your types of films, maybe the trend is good for you, but there is a trend |
MoM
11.24.23 | Why are those your examples? There are tons of movies not like those. And youāre not the arbiter of horror quality either, so you just not liking things doesnāt mean anything objectively but that you donāt like those movies. Youāre just coming off pretentious. Not very scientific to only use your taste as the barometer, no matter how many numbers you throw out. A sample size of one is laughable to use seriously. |
Clumseee
11.24.23 | Thought Thanksgiving was incredibly mid. Wish they stuck with the grindhouse aesthetic from the OG trailer and/or brought something new/unexpected to the movie. It's by-the-numbers, which we all expected, but when you sit through it, it's just a big bland shrug. |
budgie
11.24.23 | if you infer everyones takes on topics like fucking horror films are meant to be scientific why do you bother at all you are gonna drive yourself mad bud |
MoM
11.24.23 | Iām not at all, thatās the point! Thatās itās not objective and that youāre not the taste maker. I only brought up scientific methodology because you decided to throw out your ratings and how many movies youāve seen to back up your claims that horror is dead.
Reading comprehension, bruh. Unless youāre just trying to twist shit |
budgie
11.24.23 | mon petit perroquet i show my ratings to support why i feel that horror is lacking lately. it would be sweet if you argued it with some great films i may have skipped out on instead of this awkward pearl clutching |
MoM
11.24.23 | Pearl clutching? All Iām doing is pointing out your flawed ass argument. Youāre the one acting all condescending, ābabe.ā I donāt need to list anything if i donāt feel like it. With your arrogant ass bullshit. Shove your French, bro. Youāre so up your own ass. Read how this started. |
budgie
11.24.23 | soooo anyway are there torrents out for thanksgiving yet |
MoM
11.24.23 | Before i dip out of this bullshit, let me say, learn how to represent yourself humbly. Because ā if X, nope, malignant, the conjuring pt 2 are your types of films, maybe the trend is good for you, but there is a trendā this exposed your ass hard. Your perpetually-in-college mentality wonāt serve you well as an adult |
budgie
11.24.23 | ok bud you got the last word in now you can dip š |
MoM
11.24.23 | Not why Iām doing this at all. Donāt give me something to respond to and i wonāt come back. Maybe you should take your sad-looking ass out of here. Passive aggressive aināt a cute look on you, ho |

11.25.23 | Gonna make fun of special needs kids? Youāre totally the type to. Mask way off. But, no, was never special needs. If thatās the best insult you got, you might want to work on it before you type it, you salty little Neanderthal. Maybe you should pay more attention in school. Youāre, like, what, 20? Got plenty of time to, you conceited, insecure cunt |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | didnt know who bowser was, definitely 20 |
budgie
11.25.23 | salty little neanderthal LMAO this has to be a bit |
MoM
11.25.23 | Why? Because youāre getting called out on your ego bullshit (believe me, this isnāt the first time itās been commented on), and the best insult youāve got is to try and use being mentally disabled as an insult? Youāre a petty, pathetic little worm. Donāt like it? Work on yourself. If youāre older than you act, than youāve certainly got a lot to work on lmao |
budgie
11.25.23 | keep going |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | omfg i am here for it |
MoM
11.25.23 | Whatās the point? Youāve insulted yourself enough through your own behavior and your doubling down instead of showing humility and self-awareness. The worst insult i could give you is the fact of being you. |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | i wouldnt mind being buttgie
wasp rulz btw cant believe ive missed out this whole time |
budgie
11.25.23 | keep it coming but more stuff like salty neanderthal please |

11.25.23 | ya wasp is the business it is truth |
MoM
11.25.23 | Iāve said what Iāve felt like. Keep acting like a moron (probably pretty hard for you not to), and i might say more. But i wonder how many saw you and your behavior and the things youāve said today. Because if you thought you werenāt liked before, i donāt think youāve helped that one bit.
Though, even to Neanderthals, youād probably still be bottom of the social ladder. Not much different here, eh, Mr. āBig Man on Campusā lmao |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | kind of hope this is all ai generated |
MoM
11.25.23 | Nah, Budgieās just easy to insult given his own behavior. He started this with his pretension, he just canāt deliver anything worth reading |
budgie
11.25.23 | im super back and forth on whether or not its a bit |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | idk he did it to me once too kind of think hes just bored |
MoM
11.25.23 | And why would it be a bit? You donāt think youāre a conceited manchild? Please. Iāve seen enough of your behavior here, in your discord (ever wonder why i left?), and from what Iāve heard from others. Youāre just a bitch |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | bitchgie |

11.25.23 | cant bag on him too hard i get annoying too when im bored probably |

11.25.23 | "(ever wonder why i left?)
how the f were you ever in my server i didnt know who you were before like a week ago |
MoM
11.25.23 | Dude, youāre annoying regularly. Iām not the only one who thinks so! I wonāt call anyone out. You are a bitch. Youāre annoying, arrogant, and act like youāre smarter than others, when youāve NEVER shown that to be possibly true for even a second. Youāre getting dragged because of who you are. Donāt like what others see? Then you shouldnāt have been it. Does the truth hurt? |
MoM
11.25.23 | ā how the f were you ever in my server i didnt know who you were before like a week agoā
You yourself invited me months ago. I was only in there for a few days before i got annoyed by you and your lame ass friends. |

ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | yea thats sounds retarded idk how u stomach this stuff |
MoM
11.25.23 | Good, crawl away, worm |
budgie
11.25.23 | idk plenty of shitty horror is still entertaining |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | i suppose |
MoM
11.25.23 | Lmao i love you, bro |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | and potsy gaslighting as usual
i wonder what a brain like that looks like over time |
budgie
11.25.23 | fucking ew none of that thing in here |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | lmao YEETED |
MoM
11.25.23 | Gaslighting? Budgie got demolished lmao. Did nothing to prove anything said about him wrong and instead used the idea of being mental disabled as a weak insult |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | bruh u literally did nothing but waste your time while we loled at u |
MoM
11.25.23 | You can laugh at me. Nothing i said was wrong whatsoever. If you donāt see budgieās behavior over all this time, youāre not really paying attention. Though, youāre not great company yourself. |
budgie
11.25.23 | i didnt lol at him thats politically incorrect |
MoM
11.25.23 | Lmao. Fake leftist budgie in the house |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | everything u said was totally off mark its a big joke lmao i not only see it i approve it 100% |
MoM
11.25.23 | Oooof, very convincing |
budgie
11.25.23 | this social media horror show is SLOWWWWWWWWWWWW |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | no one was ever trying to convince u of anything on your silly tirade |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | what the fuck did i say buttgie |
MoM
11.25.23 | Thatās fine! Budgie makes himself look bad enough on a regular basis, as do you. What, are you possibly salty i called you out a while back (you even mentioned it), for your troll persona? |
pizzamachine
11.25.23 | Imagine insulting someone for having a disability. If you ask me, thatās racist as fuck. Nobodyās better than anybody. Weāre all on the same green grass, might as well learn how to get along with the people along our path. Maybe even make the world a better place |
MoM
11.25.23 | Theyāre totally the types too. A couple of manchildren |
pizzamachine
11.25.23 | When people start bullying people for no reason, and throw an entire group of people under the bus to win an argument, thatās when a line needs to be drawn |
budgie
11.25.23 | youre not makin the world a better place by releasing that soundcloud crunkcore |
pizzamachine
11.25.23 | Hahaha |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | no u just turned out to be the ubiquitous little internet bitchmouse that cant handle anything |
MoM
11.25.23 | Let it be known that Budgie is weak at comebacks, damn |
pizzamachine
11.25.23 | Iām the internet saviour |
MoM
11.25.23 | Canāt handle what? Smok, youāre such a joke that everyone laughs at you and puts you at the bottom of the ladder in terms of being worth a regard |
bellovddd
11.25.23 | nice to know this smok and budgie duo have the combined age of 13 judging by these comments. real educated people. |
MoM
11.25.23 | Some real Beavis and Butthead energy |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | lol u literally start whining because you dont like his personal take on horror movies of all things and then start actually being the little bitch u wish we were |
MoM
11.25.23 | Whining! Please quote said whining! I donāt care what he likes or doesnāt like. This started because he said horror was dead and i said ānahā and then he decided to be condescending and throw out how many movies heās seen and his ratings like it matters. What, do you need better reading comprehension too? |
budgie
11.25.23 | its kinda nice having all the activity in the horror thread though
would be nicer if the commentary was on horror but you cant have everything |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | n its not just me and budgie lol ive seen u randomly explode at lots of ppl over basic no one was in a tuts shit lmao |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | ur literally whining rn and every post has been condescending af lmao |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | this is pretty horrible |
MoM
11.25.23 | Trying to twist shit? Iām going off on people when i feel they deserve it. I donāt really give a shit if you donāt like it. Please, move the goal posts some more, dumbass |
bellovddd
11.25.23 | this thread is horrific what you talking bout |
MoM
11.25.23 | And you get what you give. Iāll condescend to someone who condescends. |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | the irony when youre entirely projecting your entire persona and clearly giving too much of a shit over literally nothing |
pizzamachine
11.25.23 | Projecting oneās personality is kinda part of having a personality |
MoM
11.25.23 | You donāt know shit about me. If i were projecting, Iād own up to it. If you donāt think so, you donāt really pay attention to how i am regularly, which is fine too. Youāre getting dragged and your only company in all this is fucking Budgie lmao You claiming Iām projecting doesnāt make it automatically true, either. So, what next, you braindead little ratbitch? |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | lmao get angrier little boy |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | yeah ur jekyll n hide, on one hand a random guy that seemed cool, on the other this crazed loser who cries over any small thing and its getting worse |
MoM
11.25.23 | Claiming Iām angry doesnāt make it so either. Iām pretty calm at the moment! And little boy? How old are you? 60? You regularly act like a preteen Mr. āBalls jokes 24/7ā |
MoM
11.25.23 | Self-awareness isnāt your forte, is it? Youāve never been more than a loser, douche |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | damn guess nothing anyone says can be true unless you say so
and balls are awesome |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | hey while we're at it and since youre so brave in condescending on whomever you wish how about you let your heart out in my face rn what you got sonny jim tell me exactly what i am |
budgie
11.25.23 | finished the first episode and zero body count idk if i can continue
but i will continue because i must
even though horror is dead (jk Mom !!) |
MoM
11.25.23 | Iām only saying it isnāt true because it isnāt. Duh, dipshit! You saying itās true would only make it true if it actually were! Logic, bitch!
Youāre an idiot. I donāt feel like youāre worth putting more effort into it, but youāre still an idiot, so it works |
pizzamachine
11.25.23 | Been watching lotsa 60s-70s horror lately. Cheesy af so GOOD |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | >finished the first episode
jesus its a series? i thought it was just a movie |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | lol mom i wish u could see yourself its like putting a quarter into a gumball machine |
budgie
11.25.23 | ya there are 8 episodes
@pizza any standouts?? i dont think ive seen anything from the 60s beside: black sabbath, rosemarys baby, peeping tom, psycho, and im not even sure if those were all the 60s |
MoM
11.25.23 | I see myself just fine. What do you see when you look at yourself? What do you think others see in either of us in this? Cause i can tell you, straight up, that a bunch of us think youāre an absolute moron |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | and i have no doubt of it lmao keep thinking it
but from now on every time i see that MoM all im going to read is 'the little tantrum bitch'
sad day, i enjoyed our previous punship |
MoM
11.25.23 | Go ahead. If you think this is a tantrum, go right ahead. I already see you as a dipshit and have before now. Gotta say, though, youāre not very good at this. Would think youād be better at insults, but when you make jokes regularly and barely any of them actually land, i guess being good with words isnāt within your reach.
ToJokeMuzyki, funnier in appearance than in humor |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | i look forward to your future explosions as you continue to become more and more deranged. perhaps one day you will reach potsy's level
cant wait to see your total assholishness come back to bite you some day |
pizzamachine
11.25.23 | @budgie: I donāt remember half the titles of the movies I watched recently, but hereās a few standouts:
The Pit and the Pendulum
House on Haunted Hill
Twins of Evil
Horror Express
Dr. Terrorās House of Horrors
Tales from the Crypt
|
MoM
11.25.23 | Oh, it likely wonāt. If you think Iām an asshole to anyone i donāt think deserves it, youāre way off base. And deranged? For calling out dumbasses? Aight! If you think Iām exploding in an uncontrolled way, youāre also way off about that too. Iām really curious how you see yourself, because if you really saw how sad and immature you regularly show yourself to be, Iād hope youād be embarrassed. |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | alright im bored
keep up with the ai generated rage tho i hope that isnt for real |
MoM
11.25.23 | Keep up with the ai generated personality, you weak-willed, raggedy little cunt. |
budgie
11.25.23 | if smok is ai generated i am stoked for what the scifi future brings us
@pizza fk ya ive only seen tales from the crypt and house on haunted hill. are any of the others episodic like tales? |
budgie
11.25.23 | episide two here we go somebody better DIEEE |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | insulting my insults then doing nothing but taking my own wow
btw when u use random generated non applicable curses like that all the time u sound like a baby learning his first naughties |
MoM
11.25.23 | Non-applicable? Lmao! Do you think you exude any sort of mental strength whatsoever?
Flipped ONE insult on you and you havenāt insulted me in any way thatās made me feel anything but disappointed in you this entire time. Hereās another, when you try and make it seem like youāre something youāre not, when you show yourself clearly to everyone here all the time, you just look like a blind fool. Goddamn, i really hope youāre not older than, like, 17, holy shit |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | little bro the only reason i dont insult u more is bc u clearly cannot handle it and im not mean like that
u will type whole reams over the slightest thing like a robot and i am crying for your poor soul |
pizzamachine
11.25.23 | āare any of the others episodic like tales?ā
Couple of em have multiple stories |
MoM
11.25.23 | Little bro? Bitch, youāre a child! Come on now. If you think typing a paragraph is much effort, your tiny, malnourished brain must be having a difficult time just reading. You can think youāre a nice dude, youāre really just a little bitch |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | ugh i hate to think how often ur refreshing this
budgie boi srry for pissing in ur thread this robots just gonna keep going for eternity |
MoM
11.25.23 | I refresh every so often. If you donāt think Iām doing other things simultaneously, then youāre wrong. You deserve being put in your place, i want to do it. Also, what is it? Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde? Robot? Do you see how these things conflict? You fuckin moron, honestly |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | gl w that i havent known my place for a loooooooooooooooooooong time ( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°) |
budgie
11.25.23 | you are nickel my man dont trip |
bellovddd
11.25.23 | watch body bags from 93. good little horror anthology John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper did. |
anode
11.25.23 | Mom please go see a therapist and stop taking your grievances out on the members of sputnikmusic.com (even if they deserve it) |
anode
11.25.23 | I wonāt be scrolling through 2000+ comments again so donāt bother responding |
MoM
11.25.23 | See a therapist? For what? If you think Iām angry, rest assured, Iām not. Iām only taking out grievances on those i have grievances with. |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.25.23 | end key |
budgie
11.25.23 | i saw the first segment of body bags (gas station?) but dont think i finished the rest. good reminder |
Egarran
11.25.23 | What a horror show, good work everyone! |
budgie
11.26.23 | just finished pearl, man... if it were anyone else but mia goth... shes so awful
score was very nice and story was cute |
bellovddd
11.26.23 | i liked pearl and i am a Mia Goth fan. I like her weird vibe. although I enjoyed X more just for dumb fun. |
budgie
11.26.23 | maybe she subconsciously reminds me of someone else i hate but man her mannerisms just repulse me viscerally
anyway onward to barbarian! justin long is usually in fun horror productions |
budgie
11.27.23 | has anyone seen fall of the house of usher, doesnt seem like horror but its flanagan
barbarian was pretty sweet like 3.5-4 territory and the new exorcist was not pretty sweet but still maybe even above average for an exorcism film cause most exorcism films are really lame. they're all the fuckin same too. cookie cutter type of horror film |
bellovddd
11.27.23 | new exorcism is just a conjuring sequel without ed and lorraine. |
budgie
11.27.23 | i was gonna say i saw it but dont remember anything. but now i do. i remember the awful acting between patrick wilson and the guy playing his son hahahaha. i dont remember anything else though |
butt.
11.28.23 | "if that special needs kid scared butt away im gonna b so bummed. butt never comes around no mo"
sorry just caught up on this shit show looool but yeh it's true I'm not super active over here lately. sad face |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.28.23 | need more fibre |
budgie
11.28.23 | i wanna rewatch the scream tv show and minimovie soon that shit is grade A guilty pleasure |
budgie
12.01.23 | i finished first season ooooof yellowjackets & im so sad i could throw up
took quite a few episodes to get into it but its really excellent
not totally horror but horror enough
god damn godddd damn
im gutted |
butt.
12.02.23 | I just watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) |
budgie
12.02.23 | nice is that like, good
s2 yellowjackets seems like a huge stepdown from s1, abandoning
s1 broke my spirit, that ending god DAMN |
Wildcardbitchesss
12.02.23 | not relevant to art since Iām sure heās seen them, Iām just excited to finally have a 4K TV. I got Evil Dead 2013 and Rise on 4K, and Iām pretty sure my collectors edition of the others are all 4K too. Iām gonna plough through all those movies. I copped Alien and The Shining too, those movies are already incredible to look at, I canāt imagine how good it will look in 4K.
Midsommar, Beau is Afraid, and Hereditary are definitely on the list too. And I know alot of people hate them, but that Halloween Trilogy collection is looking nice too. 2018 is great, Iāve come around to not completely hate Kills, and Ends is the best out of all of them aside from the OG. |
Egarran
12.02.23 | You need 3D bro |
Wildcardbitchesss
12.02.23 | Friday the 13th 3D? On it. |
budgie
12.02.23 | damn i want a 4k tv for horro |
Wildcardbitchesss
12.02.23 | You can get em dirt cheap man. I know the ultra oled shit can run up to like 2 grand but you can get a decent one for 2-3 hundy |
bellovddd
12.02.23 | watched brightburn.... really hoped for so much more considering the premise is cool. pretty let down in the end. |
bellovddd
12.02.23 | Friday the 13th 3D? On it.
ICONIC scene when he gets his mask and shoots the girl in the head with the speargun. |
budgie
12.02.23 | i had less than zero expectations for brightburn because im not too receptive toward superhero stuff but ended up thinking it was pretty ok, nice gore and nice dark story lmao, having no expectations definitely helps though
started watching a quiet story part 2 or whatever, the intro sequence were everything goes to shit was sooooo quick, ugh, was hoping it would be the entire film |
budgie
12.03.23 | quiet part 2 feels lame i dont like emily bluntz |
Wildcardbitchesss
12.03.23 | both of them suck and I like Emily Blunt |
budgie
12.03.23 | dude i need a masterlist of all the movies that show societal collapse. like contagion, 28 weeks later, beginning of dawn of the dead remake, i know there have to be some i havent seen |
budgie
12.24.23 | thanksgiving was alright

Censor 2021 |
budgie
12.24.23 | dope, will tackle those, only seen censor, thx |
Azazzel
12.24.23 | good luck! you will almost certainly find some too pretentious but I stand by em and there's some fun ones in there too |
gabba
12.25.23 | Azazzel, I just saw You Wonāt Be Alone, it is great! A wonderful witch-movie set in rural Macedonia; a must see for everyone who loved Robert Eggerās The Witch. Will check the rest from your list! |
budgie
12.25.23 | its a wonderful knife was really flat, jason long and kristine isabella were fun but man that movie was really flat |
butt.
12.26.23 | budgie did you not see Nun II? I won't pretend it was amazing cinema or anything, but thought it was surprisingly decent and fun |
budgie
12.26.23 | did not, not big on the james wan cineverse, but i will check it tonight
also forgot about totally killer, looks good |
budgie
12.26.23 | totally killer was fucking awful i did not see that coming |
butt.
12.26.23 | Havenāt seen it but hard to believe a 6.5 on IMDb is fucking awful. Thatās pretty good for horror tbh |
budgie
12.26.23 | let me think why i reacted so badly to it
has a visual haze that you see in tv shows where a white background looks like a fuzzy cloud? you know what i'm talking about? i hate that shit, so really bad or unprofessional production values
focuses on annoying middle school boy stoner humor like hey look at my COCK??? like seth rogan but even less elegant somehow
the jokes are laid out where the main char has to verbalize the punchlines, if you know what i'm talking about, it's really irritating
and then the actual timetravel stuff, random highschool kids in multiple instances are able to make a time machine with random shit laying around and display some really ridiculous physics errors like confusing force with power, i don't know man, saying the energy of a carnival ride turbine can warp gravity, just everything is so bad, and the 80s kids are saying zoomer generation stuff like Let's gooooo!!!
i really was hoping i would dig it because there ARE some cool scream vibes in the beginning and there is a strong metahorror thing going on and kiernan shipka was amazing in the blackcoat's daughter, but i think this was just too ambitious without the intelligence, elegant, wit, professional capabilities

budgie
12.26.23 | a comment from one of the review threads stuck out :::
"This felt like an elongated Shane Dawson YouTube sketch from 2010 but modernized in the worst way. I think the lead girl is doing her best, but with this bullshit dialogue and the crazy amounts of ADR pointing out jokes they think the audience will misinterpret, it just fucking blows. So much of this is written and performed like it was everyone's first day on set. Similarly to cocaine bear, if this movie didn't take itself too seriously or fully lent into the idea, I could see it working.
Add to that the boring ass shot-reverse shot conversations and the lack of any actual visual identity, you have a real slog of a product. People raised on TikTok horror stories will probably love this, but anyone who has seen a movie before will hopefully see it as the trashy tryhard film it actually is. The idea of a time travel slasher movie is so awesome, why do the most uninteresting interpretation possible?
The movie becomes "Wow things were kooky in the eighties, can you believe things were different to how they are now! Wow isn't it crazy that some societal aspects we accepted then, we no longer do now? That's crazy omg" and it's fun for about as long as it took you to read that paragraph.
The thing is the ideas for the jokes aren't even bad, but their setups and punchlines are so hamfisted that it should be considered haram. Joss Whedon probably loves this movie and it's corny ass "that just happened"/point out the obvious thing/be a snarky prick jokey ironic sarcastic style of humour holy fuck. You can do progressive jokes better than this. How many focus groups did this movie go through, and still come out feeling so goddamn out of touch with both the 80s and the modern day stuff. This movie needed so much more thought and time put into the writing before it began production, alongside that it needed a better storyboard artist, alongside that it needed better editing, alongside that it needed better direction. I could do this for a while.
Snarkiness is not a substitute for sincerity. If you feel like watching this just doom scroll on TikTok for half an hour or so. I hate this movie and I hate it's fucking attitude it has towards everything. Comedy movies have been dead for a while and maybe it's because the ones that get released are these ones. All of the actors in this deserved better, but the movie also deserved better performances. Just an insufferable film. "
|
budgie
12.26.23 | there were also some weird cgi in the kill scenes like the body being physically fixed while being stabbed, like it's a still image superimposed in the film, idk how to explain it. the actor was stabbing open air and then someone pasted a picture of a body into the scene. so bad
as for the imdb 6.5 dude š¤·āāļø it's like 80% teenage comedy which is probably what is represented in the average |
Egarran
12.26.23 | >hard to believe a 6.5 on IMDb is fucking awful
budgie and imdb ratings are different universes. |
butt.
12.27.23 | hey man, you justified your position pretty well there so I have nothing more to add until I actually watch it. sometimes general consensus just leaves me scratching my head, for example Better Watch Out. I love christmas horror, so figured this should at least be passable. I've watched it 3 times and it gets worse every time. Somehow everyone else loves it.
"budgie and imdb ratings are different universes."
This is also true |
budgie
12.27.23 | if you always agree with popularity ratings aren't you just average? who wants to be average??? |
Ryus
12.27.23 | just scrolled up mom is such a strange dude lmao |
Ryus
12.27.23 | i watched under the skin recently it was very good. also black christmas original |
budgie
12.27.23 | "this is soooo obviously a super edgy, super feminist dark comedy and NOT the failed sequel you're so certain it is since your misogynistic boner for bateman won't go away so you basically just can't accept the fact that this movie is actually SO much more fun than the unanimously beloved bore that is american psycho. y'all just can't handle pure female energy. oh and that desperate housewives kinda music coming on whenever rachel delivers a super manipulative creepy speech is everything, not to mention the perfectly 2000s cheesy songs coming on after every kill as if this were freaking bridget jones. genius. anyone who says this movie's soundtrack sucks is not a friend of mine. the whole vibe of this movie was probably inspired by heathers too. anyway, would 100% let mila kunis murder me ANY day. i'm so glad i gave this a shot. "hey, nice mop." 10/10""
review for american psycho II: all american girl on letterboxd, best thing i ever read
movie wasn't great lol but i think it's a bit better than the 1.6 avg |
Rowan5215
12.27.23 | og Black Christmas is one of if not the GOAT, absolutely terrifying
Azazzel's list upthread also has a lot of great stuff. When Evil Lurks and Resurrection were crazy |
Ryus
12.27.23 | it was amazing they had a midnight showing near me. first time seeing it. thoroughly enjoyed it |
MoM
12.27.23 | ā just scrolled up mom is such a strange dude lmaoā
Lmao! I like to be good to people i like or donāt have reason to dislike and i like to bully people i dislike. |
Rowan5215
12.27.23 | that mf Billy is scarier than any supernatural shit I've ever seen. I'd have a punch-on with Pinhead any day over meeting that dude |
budgie
12.27.23 | looks like black christmas 2019 is on netflix you should all watch it highly recommended |
Minushuman24
12.27.23 | Another year, another year I forget to watch Black Christmas |
budgie
12.27.23 | damn dude ryus and rowan are dead right it is a must see stone cold horror classic, get on that!!
the 2019 remake is a horrible joke |
Minushuman24
12.27.23 | Decided to watch it, Black Christmas is stellar.
Way creepier, and way more of a slow-burner than I was expecting. Like no cheese
|
Egarran
12.27.23 | >black christmas 2019 is on netflix you should all watch it highly recommended
> the 2019 remake is a horrible joke
Explain.
|
butt.
12.27.23 | Maybe itās because I was expecting the worst movie ever, but when I saw 2019 in theaters, I actually didnāt hate it. Not great, but definitely coulda been worse. IMDb avg is 3.5, I say itās a 5.5. So there. Deviating from popular opinion. |
gabba
12.27.23 | The Medium is an awesome Asian possession movie. Scary af. |
budgie
12.27.23 |
i wanted to ryus and rowan to suffer but i couldnt do that to minus could i |
Rowan5215
12.27.23 | nothing has or will ever compell me to watch either remake of that flawless movie
but they can't be as bad as Halloween Kills right |
budgie
12.27.23 | it just takes the uh
twitter patriarchy philosophy stuff and gets really literal with it
like really REALLY literal
like the bad guys in the movie are a cult of white guys who use magic to keep women subservient
lol
god i gotta rewatch it im in disbelief recalling it
theres no way thats what it was about
|
Egarran

Egarran

12.28.23 | I was reading up on the new Black Christmas and WOOF |
butt.
12.29.23 | Each iteration of Black Christmas gets a little worse. Can't wait till the 2028 remake which will obviously be the penultimate non-binary horror film |
budgie
12.29.23 | i (re)watched the invitation the other night
and man it was so refreshing to watch a truly excellent horror after all the crap of this year
i really appreciate that movie
thinkin of givin 10 cloverfield lane & red state a rewatch sometime soon |
butt.
12.29.23 | 10 cloverfield lane is fucking incredible. Classic John Goodman performance in my book and a masterclass in suspense. |
budgie
01.23.24 | hellyeah that's one of the best films eva |

01.23.24 | Fun thread |

GhandhiLion
01.23.24 | Yeah, like, thereās shitty horror out there, been when hasnāt there? |
Scoot
01.23.24 | nocturnal animals isn't pure horror but has some of the scariest scenes ever filmed imo
when the music cuts and he's watching his family being driven away to be murdered |
gabba
01.23.24 | Nocturnal Animals is so powerful, easily among the best movies made in the 2010s. Haunted me for weeks. |
SomeCallMeTim
01.24.24 | Rented. Watching. Insanely unsettled. Good god |
bellovddd
01.24.24 | I finally watched smile. WTF its just a really bad remake of it follows. terrible movie. |
budgie
01.24.24 | i dont necessarily think smile was a great film but i enjoyed it anyway, good popcorn material |
Krpa
01.24.24 | I'd recommend last year's Sleep, very solid Korean thriller/horror with the (now late) Lee Sung-kyun. So far I think it's my fave horror from 2023. Wasn't a fan of When Evil Lurks or Talk to Me personally. |
gabba
01.24.24 | Thanks, I'll definitely check out Sleep!
I'm a sucker for Korean movies, both "I Saw the Devil" and "The Chaser" were extraordinary. |
Krpa
01.24.24 | Yeah, they churn out solid amounts of quality thrillers yearly. And they're often as polished and entertaining as they come. Also, last year's Concrete Utopia is one of my 2023 faves, very intense apocalyptic thriller. :) |
SomeCallMeTim
01.24.24 | ok after finishing Nocturnal Animals its a good revenge film for sure but honestly I'll probably forget I watched it in a week |
gabba
01.24.24 | Well, it resonated with me on many levels. Nearly not as visceral as Oldboy, but similar emotional effect when it comes to revenge/grief. Tom Ford is a great director imo, I hope he'll keep on making movies. |
SomeCallMeTim
01.24.24 | was gonna say I will check some of his other films but it legit looks like he only has one other film? doesn't look like my type of movie but maybe will check |
gabba
01.24.24 | yeah, only one other movie I know of
totally different vibe, but quite moving, and esthetically very pleasing |
budgie
01.24.24 | im watchin ozarks
is pretty good
|
budgie
02.13.24 | night swim was shit |
bellovddd
02.13.24 | rewatched Hush... would have been a lot better if they kept the suspense going for longer and not have her see the dude right away and kill all tension |
budgie
02.13.24 | ive been meaning to recheck that one for a while now but rarely in the mood for home invasions
have you seen a l'interieur |
SomeCallMeTim
02.13.24 | Can anyone rec me a horror movie thatās..
-Kubrick-esque
-not soundtrack heavy
-more psychological than gore (but gore is fine) |
budgie
02.13.24 | when in doubt rec blackcoat's daughter...
great sound design and a mostly ambient score, great shots, mostly psychological, no cheesy jump scares. |
budgie
02.13.24 | and hey you could even draw thematic parallels to the shining |
bellovddd
02.13.24 | l'interieur is still one of my favorite movies from the French extremist movement. Such a crazy ride |
SomeCallMeTim
02.13.24 | Will look into those, thanks! |
gabba
02.13.24 | Ć lāintĆ©rieur is such a claustrophobic movie, loved it! It was great to see BĆ©atrice Dalle in it, Betty Blue (1986) was one of my favorite arthouse movies at high school. |
bellovddd
02.13.24 | She was absolutely terrifying in it as well. |
