Good horror?

[BruiserVol]

Abigail on Amazon prime. Go into it blind if you watch it. If you can enjoy a movie that turns into a bit over the top and doesn’t take itself super serious you’ll enjoy it.

Awesome! Don’t think I’ve seen The Substance so I’ll definitely check that out. When does The Presence come out

this week Im thinking

 

[BowlBrother85]

One thing about The Substance .... if you watch it, take note of how the carpet in the long hallway and the bathroom in the aerobics studio office building are replicas of the carpet Danny rode his big wheel on and the bathroom where Jack meets Grady for the first time at The Overlook Hotel in The Shining.

The Substance is campy (think Dead/Alive) and not scary in a traditional sense, but it's unsettling and creepy at times. It's getting mixed reviews but I liked it.

I don't get the love for Midsommar. Never found it scary. Seemed silly.
I think critics like more than the average movie fan.

Same. I think it's very overrated.

 

[Carl Pickens]

I watched Jeepers Creepers with my son the other night. I MIGHT have watched it back when it came out but honestly I didn't remember anything about it. Aside from possibly the most unlikeable female protagonist ever, the movie was alright. Dumb, but alright.

 

[Volnbeers]

don't think i saw The Strangers mentioned. really unsettling if you've never seen it. i still i get the heebie jeebies when staying in a cabin in the woods.

echo the sentiment on High Tension....incredibly messed up movie. prolly one of my favorites of the genre.

the entire Creep series (movies not show) is really good.

dont think i saw Wolf Creek mentioned either.

I liked the simplicity of The Strangers. The entire focus is on the tension created by the home invasion, with the only motive of the strangers being the torment and torture itself. More horror movies should try this instead of trying to assign everyone a motive with a long backstory. It is reality, that this type of crime happens for no other reason than some people are evil and enjoy seeing others suffer.

See home invasion crimes such as The Keddie Murders from 1981, The Wichita Massacre from 2000 and The Cheshire Murders from 2007.

Just watched nosferatu. I liked it. Critics did not.

I read it was like watching softcore porn...what did you think of that aspect?

I mean it’s kind of accurate maybe more like a 80s Cinemax level. It made it a little more disturbing. If you are into horror it’s worth a watch.

I'm an old fashioned type horror movie guy mostly so ditto on:
Amityville
Jaws 1/2 (For obvious reasons. Gets a litttle silly after the two originals)
Children of the Corn
The Exorcist
The Omen (and Damien Omen?)
Friday the 13th and Halloween (The very first ones)
The Shining
Sixth Sense
Salem's Lot (original)

But alo:
A Quiet Place
Conjuring (1st 2)
Pet Semetary
Nightmare on Elm Street #1
Annabelle (1&2)

For Horror Comedy Hot Fuzz is a classic.

May check out The Watchers

Did you mean Shaun of the Dead? If not I think that's an even better example with Pegg/Frost. I would also like to nominate Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

Haven't watched Shaun, but I really did mean Hot Fuzz

Then I can't imagine you not liking Shaun, possibly even moreso.

 

[bigdaddy]

red vs dead : dead snow 2….fantastic

I'll have to give it a look cause we really liked Hot Fuzz.

you've got red on you.

I liked Hot Fuzz better than Shaun.

 

[hndog609]

I liked Hot Fuzz better than Shaun.

Their actually pretty different movies. It's why I actually thought GVF meant Shaun under the "horror comedy" genre as I never really think of Fuzz that way.

In any case I really like both.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Just watched nosferatu. I liked it. Critics did not.

It looks cool. There is a colorized version of the original film (on Amazon I think) that was neat.

Companion is available on Amazon Prime already. It's a fun movie. It blends sci-fi/horror with black comedy.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Feast was fun back in the day. I enjoyed The Color Out of Space for "recent" movies.

 

[bigdaddy]

Long legs was pretty good. Not the best horror but it definitely was dark
