The Horror Movie Thread

I feel like watching some Hellraiser movies.

 

Clive wrote some killer books too if you’re into that

 

currently watching this and it sucks

anything with the cops is like hallmark channel level of filmmaking

 

If hallmark movies had more scenes like the jail scene I would probably watch a little more hallmark channel

 

I’m not talking about the screenplay. I’m talking about the look and the acting.

 

Watched Terrifier and started T2 the last couple days. They're definitely good gory fun, but why the hell is T2 so long? I didn't realize it when I started it last night and just had to cut it off at some point to go to sleep.

 

I think the director did a GoFundMe for like a $100K but ended up getting half a million. So they stretched the scenes out, gored it up to 11, and pumped more money into sets.

 

Decided to watch the Hell House movies for the 1st time last night.

1,4,3,2, would be my ranking. I enjoyed them for the most part.

 

Gonna get tickets to Smile 2 for Sunday. Coworker said it was better than the 1st one.

Dark and the Wicked was pretty decent. Nothing that special.
Late Night with the Devil was a fun one. Young actress did a great job at being creepy as fuck.

Gonna check out MADS, REC, Oddity, and I Saw the TV Glow at some point in the next week unless TMB reviewers tell me any of them suck

 

REC is amazing…just make sure you watch the original Spanish one. I Saw the TV Glow is very interesting, but it is NOT a horror film. It’s a tragedy if nothing else.

 

Definitely doing REC Esp only decision was going to be watching it dubbed or subs. Horror would prob be the only genre where I would consider not using subs since I'd be worried of missing stuff on screen that's not the focal point. I'm normally firmly in the anti-dub camp.

IStTG I'll save for later since it's not horror

 

Watched the first two Terrifiers. Meh, but I get it…. Wasn’t expecting much, so was fine.

Watched Gonjim: The haunted asylum: Korean and subtitles, but I liked it. Found footage horror one of my faves though. I also may have misspelled the name

 

I need to watch that again not on a computer or something. It was too dark to see ANYTHING happening on screen when I saw it.

 

[REC] - not the English remake Quarantine - is in the GOAT discussion for found footage.

Also will state again that MadS was fantastic.

Oddity was quite good

As someone else said, yeah I Saw the TV Glow isn’t really a horror but it’s still a solid watch

 

Got to talking with people at work about horror movies and there's been a few random suggestions I've never heard of in the new teams channel:

#Alive
Haunt
Willy's Wonderland

Anyone have a review on these?

 

Haunt is garbage

#Alive is a pretty cool take on a zombie movie. I enjoyed it.

 

Late Night With The Devil was unique and kinda interesting but overall mediocre IMO. The acting was solid at least and the original concept earned it some points though for sure. Plus the Bohemian Grove analogue was thought provoking.

I think I'm going to watch Event Horizon for the first time this weekend. Seems like I'm in for it if I do.

 

You are in for a treat

 

Event Horizon is great.

 

I saw a Reddit thread about the best (or at least what scared people the most) horror movies and it was the most upvoted choice. I like some good sci-fi so anything that does that and horror well is right up my alley.

Watched Alien Covenant last weekend for the first time and enjoyed it for sure.

 

I saw Event Horizon in the theater…was kind of disappointed.

 

I haven't watched this since I was a kid and it scared the fuck out of me.

Let's see how it holds up.

 

REC was good. I thought it was gonna be scarier from the way people talked about it. Very entertaining movie though. The auto-previews in Prime was in the english dubbed version and the one I purchased didn't even have the option, so I'm glad it took that decision out of my hands.

Honestly would have to rank REC and Hell House, LLC as 1a and 1b in found footage I've watched the past few years. HH may have a slight lead.

 

The ending creature in REC is so fucking well done.

 

Indeed that part was pretty awesome. The lady at the beginning was obv telegraphed a mile away. Think the enjoyment from that movie was more how they shot the intense scenes vs. what was actually in them, ie - the cadavers attacking being filmed through a side window and the end being in night vision.

Also Fuckin Pablo drop the camera and lend a hand everyone once in a while amigo

 

Terrifier is fun you nerds.

 

If you’ve got a gore fetish*

 

what did you think it’d be, it’s a slasher

 

Won horror bar trivia tonight.

 

Love the team name

 

Eh, these go well beyond your typical slasher with the gore. I'm not complaining. I think they're fun. I don't go into most slashers expecting what the Terrifier movies are though.

 

smile 2 question

Spoiler

so when did reality stop?

im never a fan of unreliable narrator type movies, but at least with the first one it was fairly clear after the fact when reality stopped whereas this one I could argue like 4 different places

 

It’s just the evolution of slasher flicks from the 80s. True, Terrifier is more grindhouse horror but Friday the 13th, The Prowler, My Bloody Valentine, Maniac (an amazing head explosion) were all absolutely gruesome for their time period. So gruesome the MPAA made them cut a ton of scenes out.

I always thought infamous scene in Terrifier was gross but I remembered, Bone Tomahawk did it worse.

 

Fair. I guess I was referring more to modern slashers.

 

I find slasher films completely boring, I know there is an audience for them but I never enjoyed any of the Halloween, Jason, Nightmare on Elm Street films and I gave them all a try. The only one I liked was the original Scream and it was because it was parodying them while also being in the same genre. Not being a hater, just not for me. Sci-fi horror and haunted house movies are my jam for horror

 

besmirching Halloween on 10/30. Lock your doors mf.

 

If I die for a Dodgers world series win it will be worth it

 

tyfys

 

Thoughts on Wes Craven’s New Nightmare?

 

I have not seen that but the premise is fun, might check that out soon. Thank you for mentioning it!

 

It’s the OG meta horror film, though I’m not sure it really falls under the slasher genre. Check it out, it might just be your cup of tea.
