I saw the new one and it's just more of the same. Really schlocky and over the top but still entertaining and fun in a dumb way. Feel like they should've made more of an effort to introduce some kind of new wrinkle or fresh angle that could've laid groundwork for another cycle of sequels.
I saw the new one and it's more of the same, with no new wrinkles or fresh angles. Really schlocky and over the top, but entertaining and fun in a dumb way.
The original Texas chainsaw massacre is still my favorite. Probably because it was the first horror flick I saw at the tender age of 10. Still plenty too love about it though.
first movie i saw that made me physically feel dirty by the end. i watched it later on mushrooms and came to love it even more. best horror movie of all time, hands down.
Insidious was really good but like all good horror movies they decided to franchise it and they just got worse and worse. They do it to any half-decent idea that comes along, like Saw.
I liked how in some scenes you could see the demons/ghosts/whatever hiding behind walls or in corners while the camera was moving around. It seems insignificant but there's not much going on in horror.
Night of the Demons, Nosferatu the Vampyre, The Funhouse, The Changeling, Dolls, Near Dark, Dead and Buried, Tourist Trap, Prince of Darkness, Waxwork. I prefer cheesy 80's shit, but some of those are played pretty straight.
I'm all about cheesy 80s stuff too. I'll add Terror Train, The Burning, Ghoulies 2, Final Exam, House on Sorority Row, Madman, Just Before Dawn, Happy Birthday to Me...
Big mistake on my part watching the DotD remake before seeing the original. After the remake was so entertaining, I couldn't get through the first one. And I tried really hard.
The Beyond, [rec] (not the shitty American remake called Quarantine), frontier(s), Martyrs (the official movie of this sub), V/H/S 1 and 2, In the Mouth of Madness, Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, Opera, Dead Birds, The Descent, Absentia
Alternatively, if you want a good scare, just go to Compound Media and wait until Anthony's face appears.
Absentia was okay. VHS movies even the third I still watch to this day. Most horror falls apart in the long form, a lot of shitty movies would have been good as 20 minute shorts.
It's not overrated it's accurately rated but everything else stinks around it. Space Horror seems like something that would be great but there's so few good examples of it. You've got Event Horizon, Alien, and maybe Pitch Black if you're being generous. The rest stink and all the decent stuff is in video games.
I'd recommend this too. Thought it was great up until the supernatural stuff at the end - crazy naked bitches mashing up babies in the woods worked well enough
Most of the movies listed aren't scary, to tell the truth. I like Dawn of the Dead (2004), It (2017), Evil Dead, The Thing, Alien, The Shining, A Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. because they are entertaining movies, not because they are scary.
It is a good example, because 95% of the horror is jumpscares, and that got boring after the tenth scene of Pennywise jumping out to scare a child. The children make the movie entertaining (suuurre), and it would suck like most horror movies if the leads were boring.
I guess I prefer psychological horror or thrillers.
Not all of them are jumpscares, The Shining didn't have them. Good ones build tension, and the tension only works if you allow it to work. If you're the type of person who wants to stay distant from the movie it will always seem like an entertaining thing, but if you don't find any classic movies creepy or tense then that's probably you as a viewer. Also psychological horror is for fags.
the movie really has been redeemed through time. It's arguably the 2nd best in the entire series, even despite the goofy Celtic mythology and robot stuff. It contains a truly shocking and unsettling moment from genre history, has a really haunting ending, and overall really captures the Carpenter vibe. Halloween 2 has a lot of stupid bullshit, like death by hot tub. 4-7 range from absolutely abysmal to mildly tolerable to enjoyably bad. The Rob Zombie ones don't really work at all but have slight value for the dedication he applies to his aesthetic (which the films House of A Thousand Corpses and Lords of Salem are the best illustrations of).
The original and Season of the Witch are by far my favorite. The Stonehenge stuff was kind of stupid, but the atmosphere is amazing, the Irish town in middle of no where, the Robots, and the music was creepy.
All of Eli Roth's directorial efforts are good: Cabin Fever, Green Inferno, Knock Knock. He produced a lot of shit, though. His streak of directing good movies will almost certainly end in March with the remake of Death Wish.
Very good. Top 5 of the Year good, so far anyway. It's more of a dark, dramatic thriller about struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world cut off from society's remnants, though. Super dark and devastating, with great atmosphere and paranoia.
Thanks, is there at least a decent creature? Cause I'm not sold unless it's got a unique premise cause The Road and others can do bleak post apocalyptic shit well enough. There's 2 things I am not interested in at all anymore, haunted house movies and "humans are the real monsters" movies. I realize this is a faggy demand but I own it with gusto.
No creatures, unless you count the ghastly side effects of people afflicted with the doomsday plague that took down civilization. There's definitely vapors of the human monster theme that can often be poorly used. The tension arises from fear of the outside, and of people in the group being infected. That's where the dread and paranoia kick in. I would categorize the spirit of the film as unique even though the subject matter is familiar. I'm sensing it might not be up your alley but I bet at the very least you would find it more worthwhile than Annabelle Creation type stuff. One big potential dealbreaker for the OnA crowd: the family bunkering drown in the woods at the heart of the story is interracial. The horror!
I've heard people talk about Annabelle Creation, what's up with that? You sold me on this cause you sound confident in your appraisal, I just don't know what's up with this other thing. I could Google it but I think you're on a roll.
Blair Witch is one of my favorite horror movies of all time, but I think it only works if you know the context of when it came out before everyone started ripping it off. But even if you've seen every other found footage horror movie there's something about it that's just better than shit like Quarantine and Grave Encounters. Around the time it was released they did as fake documentary about the backstory and that helps a lot, I remember watching it back when people still thought it might be real (even though it had credits with actors, people are fucking stupid.)
I love all his movies. But there is a quality to Prince of Darkness that really freaks me out. And the idea that Satan was locked away under a neglected church in L.A./Hollywood is an apt metaphor.
The video dreams of the cloaked figure in the doorway are very eerie and the film definitely has one of Carpenter's best "ambiguous apocalypse" endings.
While it's not among the best I've always thought Wrong Turn was fairly underrated. It's refreshing to see the cliche of people staying in the same place for the whole movie avoided and it adds realism imo. The way the genre got to the point where even parodies were being parodied took me out of it, but that's just me. Also I've heard complaints that it was really derivative but fortunately I never watched the things it was derivative of.
In high school my social studies teacher told us the poughkeepsie tapes were real and that it was his home town. It scared our entire class for the year lol
creep show 1 and 2. There's a 3rd one I just realized, but it was made in 2006.... probably fucking sucks ass and there looks like there's some blacks in it too yuck!
Obviously classics like the first Halloween and Rosemary's Baby. Martyrs (the original French version) is fucking horrifying. Another good one is Kill List. British film - isn't really a horror movie till the last third but is a really original and unsettling film.
The office scene with valak is like a real nightmare. And the bedroom scenes with bill welden before we find out (spoiler alert) he is valaks slave are scary. The tv remote scene is a good jump scare, and the tent at the top of the stairs added a good element of horror. Different strokes for different folks i guess.
I thought his name was bill tetley, when he swam up and lost his dentures I was a little scared he wasn't going to be able to eat solid food anymore but other than that I found the whole movie to be laughable, but yeah agree to disagree

Inside is a great French horror. It's really fucked up and tows the line between scary and obscene.
A recent mainstream horror I like was The Autopsy Of Jane Doe. It's got a good haunted supernatural element to it as well as plenty of jumpy moments. Also Jane Doe has a great body for the necrophiliacs amongst us ;)

Where are we at with PG-13 horror, like Insidious?
1 Canned_Laugh 2017-10-28
Insidious 1 was decent but 98% of pg13 horror is gar bage imo. And no, I'm 36 years old.
1 A_Friendly_Creeper 2017-10-28
Agreed, very very few are good.
1 TriangleDimes 2017-10-28
Insidious was really good but like all good horror movies they decided to franchise it and they just got worse and worse. They do it to any half-decent idea that comes along, like Saw.

First one really impressed me.

Zombie movies shouldn't count as horror. It's more shoot 'em up.
1 commissarjb 2017-10-28
Yeah, but that one doesn't have many guns until the end and most of the kills are up close so it's pretty good.
1 turnthemaround 2017-10-28
I didn't say it was bad, I like the entire series. Even though 2 and 3 were total shit
1 realtaIk101 2017-10-28
Prefer 28 Weeks Later. The best opening for a zombie movie when he is running down the field and they are all chasing him.
1 arrogantsquirrel 2017-10-28
Night of the Demons, Nosferatu the Vampyre, The Funhouse, The Changeling, Dolls, Near Dark, Dead and Buried, Tourist Trap, Prince of Darkness, Waxwork. I prefer cheesy 80's shit, but some of those are played pretty straight.
1 ChopTop1990 2017-10-28
Dolls and Tourist Trap are so good.
1 Icculus1833 2017-10-28
I'm all about cheesy 80s stuff too. I'll add Terror Train, The Burning, Ghoulies 2, Final Exam, House on Sorority Row, Madman, Just Before Dawn, Happy Birthday to Me...
1 arrogantsquirrel 2017-10-28
If you want to watch the ultimate slasher movie then check out Sorority House Massacre 2. Every single cliche is included and glorified. It's great.
1 SteakSauce66 2017-10-28
Night of the Demons doesn’t get nearly enough love.
1 arrogantsquirrel 2017-10-28
Part 2 is just as good, imo. The dance floor scene traumatized me as a kid.
1 SteakSauce66 2017-10-28
That one is great too.
1 MAGAUSA1776 2017-10-28
Leprechaun in the Hood.
1 arrogantsquirrel 2017-10-28
Tales from the Hood is probably the best spook movie for spooks.
1 Basehead_Vos 2017-10-28
I still listen to the soundtrack sometimes. It has some great 90s gangsta shit. Inspektah Deck, Scarface, Gravediggaz.

1 deathbirdstories 2017-10-28
Leprechaun In The Hood is the worst Leprechaun movie, but Leprechaun: Back To The Hood is the best one.
1 3stepsbackward 2017-10-28
The Beyond, [rec] (not the shitty American remake called Quarantine), frontier(s), Martyrs (the official movie of this sub), V/H/S 1 and 2, In the Mouth of Madness, Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, Opera, Dead Birds, The Descent, Absentia
Alternatively, if you want a good scare, just go to Compound Media and wait until Anthony's face appears.
1 omfgdommy 2017-10-28

That is the most over rated horror movie in existence.
If you haven't watched it recently do it. It stinks.

Sci-Fi horror is the only real horror I like, It helps me suspend my belief regarding the retarded nonsense that is going on. It's that simple for me.

It's not overrated it's accurately rated but everything else stinks around it.
1 TriangleDimes 2017-10-28
It's not overrated it's accurately rated but everything else stinks around it. Space Horror seems like something that would be great but there's so few good examples of it.

It Follows was another recent one that, like The Witch, most people either loved or detested.
1 dumbshowreference 2017-10-28
It Follows was in no way, shape or form like The Witch.
1 TriangleDimes 2017-10-28
It Follows was great. It didn't even occur to me until later that it kills all the victims while raping them. It adds a whole other layer to it.

Creep 2 (now on VOD but first Creep on Netflix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_0sBk50Qr0
A few ones that were pretty good which got major releases: "It Comes at Night" and "Life."
Netflix also has a good 1-2 punch of new Stephen King adaptations with "Gerald's Game" and "1922."

Mid-80s had great stuff. Return of the Living Dead, Re-Animator, Fright Night, etc. None of them are scary, but they are fun.
All time favorite goes to the original Dawn of the Dead, and I could watch The Shining a million times and never get sick of it.

Dead Alive, back when Peter Jackson made over the top gore comedy

I know a lot of people are going to disagree, but, Halloween III is a good one. If it had a different name then people would appreciate it more.
1 Daddy_Donuts 2017-10-28
Halloween 3 is my favorite of the series. I saw it on cable as a kid around halloween and it fucked my shit up
1 DataEast1 2017-10-28
That scene where the kids heads rota inside the mask is more memorable than many scenes from the Michael films.
1 Daddy_Donuts 2017-10-28
Thats the exact scene that haunted me!

Martyrs
REC / REC 2
The witch

Martyrs is beyond horror. That film worms it's way into my thoughts regularly and I'm the kind of person that doesn't shock or take much seriously.
Masterful and totally original.

While it's not among the best I've always thought Wrong Turn was fairly underrated. It's refreshing to see the cliche of people staying in the same place for the whole movie avoided and it adds realism imo. The way the genre got to the point where even parodies were being parodied took me out of it, but that's just me. Also I've heard complaints that it was really derivative but fortunately I never watched the things it was derivative of.

The original Halloween is probably my favorite horror movie, and The Poughkeepsie Tapes is probably the one that scares me the most.
1 deathbirdstories 2017-10-28
Little kid me peed my pants watching "When A Stranger Calls"
1 Daddy_Donuts 2017-10-28
In high school my social studies teacher told us the poughkeepsie tapes were real and that it was his home town. It scared our entire class for the year lol

creep show 1 and 2. There's a 3rd one I just realized, but it was made in 2006.... probably fucking sucks ass and there looks like there's some blacks in it too yuck!
1 arrogantsquirrel 2017-10-28
It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's not even so-bad-it's good, it's just really fucking bad.
1 juschippinyababe 2017-10-28
fuck this sounds like some Room level stuff without the funny. Have to watch this shit now, people are saying the same shit about it online haha!

Dead Silence for your killer ventriloquist doll movie fix.

The shittier the better in my opinion. Watching Leprechaun 4 really gets me in the spirit of things
1 deathbirdstories 2017-10-28
He doesn't even talk in rhymes in that one.
1 McGowan9 2017-10-28
Obviously classics like the first Halloween and Rosemary's Baby. Martyrs (the original French version) is fucking horrifying. Another good one is Kill List. British film - isn't really a horror movie till the last third but is a really original and unsettling film.
1 sanfrancisco69er 2017-10-28
The Visit was pretty dope, surprisingly.
The Conjuring 2 was the worst movie I've ever seen. Worth watching to laugh at what wastes of time horror movies can be.
1 Daddy_Donuts 2017-10-28
Valak was a great demon in conuring 2 imo
1 sanfrancisco69er 2017-10-28
Yeah too bad they found his name in the phone book and took him down. Very well thought out story and not a random montage of corny scenes
1 Daddy_Donuts 2017-10-28
The office scene with valak is like a real nightmare. And the bedroom scenes with bill welden before we find out (spoiler alert) he is valaks slave are scary. The tv remote scene is a good jump scare, and the tent at the top of the stairs added a good element of horror. Different strokes for different folks i guess.
1 sanfrancisco69er 2017-10-28
I thought his name was bill tetley, when he swam up and lost his dentures I was a little scared he wasn't going to be able to eat solid food anymore but other than that I found the whole movie to be laughable, but yeah agree to disagree

Inside is a great French horror. It's really fucked up and tows the line between scary and obscene.
A recent mainstream horror I like was The Autopsy Of Jane Doe. It's got a good haunted supernatural element to it as well as plenty of jumpy moments. Also Jane Doe has a great body for the necrophiliacs amongst us ;)

Babadook is alright. Session 9 is one of my favorites.

I just watched The Exorcist 3. Very underrated horror movie. Dahmer used to watch it to get in the killing mood.

Blair Witch is one of my favorite horror movies of all time, but I think it only works if you know the context of when it came out before everyone started ripping it off. But even if you've seen every other found footage horror movie there's something about it that's just better than shit like Quarantine and Grave Encounters. Around the time it was released they did as fake documentary about the backstory and that helps a lot, I remember watching it back when people still thought it might be real (even though it had credits with actors, people are fucking stupid.)
1 jofreal 2017-10-28
No creatures, unless you count the ghastly side effects of people afflicted with the doomsday plague that took down civilization. There's definitely vapors of the human monster theme that can often be poorly used. The tension arises from fear of the outside, and of people in the group being infected. That's where the dread and paranoia kick in. I would categorize the spirit of the film as unique even though the subject matter is familiar. I'm sensing it might not be up your alley but I bet at the very least you would find it more worthwhile than Annabelle Creation type stuff. One big potential dealbreaker for the OnA crowd: the family bunkering drown in the woods at the heart of the story is interracial. The horror!
