Kman418: why your opinion on modern horror is wrong

Kman418 09.13.15	i realized halfway through this list i dont know 28 quality dark ambient albums from different artists
skeames1214 09.13.15	Drag me to hell was really fun. Forgot that movie existed. That last scene was hilarious
porcupinetheater 09.13.15	I feel like this is kind of a list directed at straw-man fans of the horror genre; like, if you watched the Babadook while it was in theaters, you've probably seen at least 5-6 of these. And not many people who actually like horror have said these are the only good modern horror movies.
RadicalEd 09.13.15	I hate horror movies in general.
InFlamesWeThrash666 09.13.15	You're Next was okay.
Rowan5215 09.13.15	"drag me to hell (2009) 8/10 on par with evil dead tbh" Not in the slightest otherwise good list potassium man agreed Resolution is masterful
Kman418 09.13.15	"I feel like this is kind of a list directed at straw-man fans of the horror genre" thats bc thats like 80% of the users on here whenever discussions about the genre get started. though i do think theres a lot of shit on here that gets overlooked by a lot of people who are actually horror fans too which is part of why i felt like making it drag me to hell is fucking funny and so much fun idk how you could dislike it
zakalwe 09.13.15	What the fuckin hell is Toad Road? Just the name is enough to send chills down the spine.
porcupinetheater 09.13.15	@Kman, that's fair enough. I don't look here enough to be up to date. Good list, though, Resolution is next level
Kman418 09.13.15	zak im going to be honest u would probably hate toad road u would probably like 3 a lot though
skeames1214 09.13.15	I liked paranormal activity 3, even if it was shit out. I liked it when put the camera on the fan. I'm a simple man.
Rowan5215 09.13.15	I don't dislike Drag Me To Hell it's great but it sure af ain't Evil Dead level
skeames1214 09.13.15	Unfriended is forgettable but the gimmick is fun and it's a good date movie.
Kman418 09.13.15	im embarrassed to say ive seen 4 paranormal activity movies. i didnt even like the first one. actually though the third one is like by far the best (meaning its like a 6/10) idk why theres a moment or two in that movie that actually worked though
ScuroFantasma 09.13.15	Was it just me or was Paranormal Activity the marked ones hilarious
skeames1214 09.13.15	@I enjoyed it. I don't mind the occasional schlocky horror film. I've seen the first and the third, probably don't need to see any more.
FrozenVain 09.13.15	Interesting choises. My favorites on this list are prob rec, eden lake and dra me to hell, I guess. I do think Annabelle sucks a big fat one though.
Kman418 09.13.15	6.5 is still notable
skeames1214 09.13.15	The Strangers isn't even good but that one seen where the protagonist lady is in the kitchen and the masked dude just waltzes in and out of the scene is fucking great and I wish more horror movies cribbed that idea.
Kman418 09.13.15	the strangers is very ok but that moment and like 1 or 2 others in that movie are actually fucking terrifying and i don't know why
Keyblade 09.13.15	nice list. don't gaf about horror movies at all but can give u some dark ambient recs Northaunt - Horizons Kammerheit - Starwheel Predominance - Hindenburg Various Artists (ambient) - Nord Ambient Alliance Black Swan - Black Swan (In 8 Movements) Instincts - The Mystery Visions
Kman418 09.13.15	i am 100% sure you haven't seen 27 cause no one has but ok
SgtShock 09.13.15	Antichrist is so good. Can't agree on you're next though. Might need to rewatch it.
Kman418 09.13.15	i can see why someone might think you're next is shitty tbh. i just thought it was super well done for the style it was aiming for and was really funny/entertaining the whole way through. like, idk how you couldn't think the blender death was great
porcupinetheater 09.13.15	You're Next is wonderful. Adam Wingard's doing great things for horror all around.
PappyMason 09.13.15	I need to check some of these out, I love a good horror film. Nice list.
Psynuts 09.13.15	List is not bad, though it is missing a lot of foreign films that should be on here. Also am I the only one who likes the newest evil dead? Seen a lot of people hate on it on other sites but I thought it was a blast.
Mythodea 09.13.15	CAAABIIIN IIIN THEEE WOOOOOOODS!!! Hilarious movie, seen it twice. Excellent tongue-in-cheek thriller.
theacademy 09.13.15	nice entry level shit
Psynuts 09.13.15	Hey at least he didnt put the conjuring on there.
ChoccyPhilly 09.13.15	Is11 serious? The rest yeah but drag me to hell is pretty bad
Wolfhorde 09.13.15	but what if I generally dislike horror because it bores the shit out of me unless I'm doing a horror trash evening with movie nerds and we get shitfaced WHAT THEN
trvvve 09.13.15	most horror movies are boring as fuck tbh, no matter if old or modern
TheGreatQ 09.13.15	Rec 2 was better than Rec.
ellagos 09.13.15	24 left me feeling dead inside
skeames1214 09.13.15	Rec 2: electric boogaloo
Kman418 09.13.15	"though it is missing a lot of foreign films that should be on here" if you're talking about like french extremism stuff i find most of it pretty shitty with ils being like by far the worst of the bunch. idk i love a lot of asian horror especially the cure and a tale of two sisters but i haven't seen much from that side of the world in the last 10 years that was that amazing. i would be willing to check out stuff u have to rec though also idk why drag me to hell is getting so much shit i feel like u guys were actually expecting it to be a serious movie or something when thats not at all what its supposed to be
deathschool 09.13.15	Yeah. Modern horror tends to get too much flak. Nice list. And there is plenty more. But horror novels >>>>>>>> movies imo
Let 09.13.15	24 is terrible
Clumseee 09.13.15	You're Next is phenomenal
deathschool 09.13.15	Drag Me to Hell is fantastic, but not quite Evil Dead level
deathschool 09.13.15	Yeah, You're Next is pretty much perfect.
Alastor 09.13.15	"i realized halfway through this list i dont know 28 quality dark ambient albums from different artists" raison d'etre - discog
Kman418 09.13.15	24 is worth mentioning only bc of this https://youtu.be/NzzPr2Jo3Nc?t=3399
Kman418 09.13.15	ive heard of suicide club but never seen it
climactic 09.14.15	good list (music)
grish 09.14.15	saw 11 for my birthday with friends, we laughed a lot
porcupinetheater 09.14.15	There aren't even any French movies on this list what arr ewe doing?
oWhoadYo 09.14.15	modern horror, generally, is pretty stale though. Your lists has some good movies, and I need to see the ones you've listed that i havent seen But, Drag Me to Hell as good as Evil Dead?? Just cus its sam raimi doesnt mean it is that good. It's alright. Pretty corny and a relatively used up concept plus mediocre as all hell acting and terrible special effects. But it's paced well and has decent suspense throughout so its okay. Oculus was pretty stupid. I dont even feel like going into that. You're next was incredibly boring. yay more slasher films house of the devil. nah
Trebor. 09.14.15	house of the devil and you're next were ok honesty though, even my favorite horror film of all time is like an 8.5/10
deathschool 09.14.15	What movie is that, Treb?
porcupinetheater 09.14.15	But, like, there's always been more shitty horror movies than good horror movies (this applies to most genres). We're just far enough away from the "classic period" that we only look at the classics and ignore the stupid bullshit. Give it 20 years, no one's going to remember Annabelle, or As Above so Below, or the Prom Night remake.
oWhoadYo 09.14.15	and i saw the visit last night. It was very okay. Mainly jump scares, but had some decently creepy moments and an unexpected twist at the end. But the ending was super cheesy and 'feel good'. overall a weak 6/10
Trebor. 09.14.15	"What movie is that, Treb?" idk The Thing or Halloween or Alien or something very unoriginal The Evil Dead movies are hard 9s for me but I don't know if that really counts, I guess it does so I lied
deathschool 09.14.15	Check An American Werewolf in London
deathschool 09.14.15	Also, Bubba Hotep. Maybe John Dies at the End (although the book kills the movie), or Cabin in the Woods. There's lots of great horror comedy out there. Was a my go to genre for a short while
DrMaximus 09.14.15	"why your opinion on modern horror is wrong" I think modern horror is exceptional so you're right I'm wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯
deathschool 09.14.15	I'll show you exceptional
Kman418 09.14.15	"Pretty corny and a relatively used up concept plus mediocre as all hell acting and terrible special effects. But it's paced well and has decent suspense throughout so its okay." thats what im saying though like thats exactly why its good. its shitty but its clearly shitty intentionally in a really absurd over the top way in the same way that evil dead 2 is. like the whole appeal of it is the meta-humor. i mean if u actually watched it expecting a serious horror movie then ok u wont like it but i dunno why u would try to watch it like that after like 20 minutes like i think it gets pretty clear its not serious at all lol john dies at the end was pretty shitty cabin in the woods is good but i left it off bc i didnt want to put shit on here everyone already brings up american werewolf in london is good too but not modern so how much of this list have u seen max
Trebor. 09.14.15	I hated john dies at the end I really like cabin in the woods
Kman418 09.14.15	scream is still the best meta horror movie though
brainmelter 09.14.15	this list of music is great
theacademy 09.14.15	slashers r the bets horror
theacademy 09.14.15	cheers guys listening to ray j
