Good horror?

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

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.

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.

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.
