Heretic is the movie I watched in the theater that had the most audible sounds of audience dread I’ve ever heard.

you’re referring to the new hugh grant movie?

the woman furiously stabbing her snatch with broken glass as she came blood?  the chainsaw to the ass and nuts?  you’re telling me terrifier 2 is more over the top than that?

watched terrifier 3 last night; have not seen any of the others.  is this movie kind of stand-alone in terms of gore or are there a bunch of movies like this that I haven’t seen?  good lord.

Art started out in All Hallows Eve, but it wasn't all about him. Terrifier was a nice, old school grindhouse type horror with an awesome hacksaw scene. Terrifier 2 ramped that up to infinity with the bedroom scene, but the lore of Art & Sienna was explored. David Howard Thornton is a master of mannerisms & miming.

Not exactly the type of horror as most in this thread lately, but hit record on Into the Grizzly Maze last night. We’ll see in a couple nights if it’s worth a shit.

Doh - meant to say Hereditary.  Haven't seen Heretic yet...though it looks good.

[BlueGreySky 1002]

Love Hereditary.  Here's a cool YT video on the music and how it nails the end of the movie.

Strange Darling

Got damn what a cool movie.  The backing sound and soundtrack were awesome. Tarantino style presentation.  The "twist" if you can call it that is obvious but it didn't take away from the entertainment.   

4 bags of popcorn, recommend. 

 

Finally saw Immaculate.   How fucking cool was it that this movie and First Omen came out back to back?

Sweeney is awesome, we gotta get a of her in Longhorn gear.  Suspenseful, great throwback, and while brutal they still held back..

I think I liked The First Omen better but Def watch both if you watch one or the other.

This is very cool. Hereditary is my all time #1 is this is from a guy that has way too much free time and has watched pretty much everything horror has to offer.

Only horror movie theater experience I’ve had close to that was Blair Witch Project opening weekend. That was fun.

[mdmost 42997]

We watched Insidious and Sleepy Hollow last night. Never saw Insidious before and it was really good. The damn demon over his shoulder when the mom is talking was great. Patrick Wilson really has the protagonist in a horror film role down well. 

[ohchaucer 1443]

Okay, little sidetrack. I’ve never been a horror guy. But love to read plot synopses and summaries. But I feel like I’m missing out by being a scared-y cat. So I've decided I'm going in and would love some suggestions on training wheels on up. Where should I start? What movies are so good that you fell in love with it?

I have seen the following:
- some of the cheesier old slashers FT13th, Chucky, Candyman (thought that last one was scary)
- Shining
- original Exorcist
- Blair Witch Project (also scary)

I've also cherry picked a few scenes from Midsommar, Terrifier 2 and a few others.

Where do I go next?

What is it that scares you? Jump scares? Supernatural stuff? Based on what you've said, I'd consider this list:

• Paranormal Activity (found footage, scary mostly b/c of vibes and not so much because of actual imagery)
• Hereditary (supernatural horror, Toni Colette being a queen)
• Carrie (the original)
• Shaun of the Dead (British zombie spoof)
• Ready or Not (wedding night from hell; also pretty comedic)
• Barbarian (Air BnB from hell; pretty good change-up in the middle)

Let me know what you think of this and what you're into/not into and I can provide more recs. I'm not super into slashers so the others can give you more direction there.

Good list. I actually saw Shaun of the Dead and loved it. I think I also watched part of Ready or Not on a plane or something. Might revisit.

Maybe I am gravitating more toward the comedy horror genre.

I don’t love gore or torture stuff. But it doesn’t “scare” me necessarily. I watched all the Terrifier 2 kills on a YouTube video and that was as much blood as one could cram into those scenes and wasn’t too phased by it (bedroom scene was intense).

Jump scares I think are what mostly get me and things like Paranormal Activity just seem to be all suspense between jump scares.

I feel I also need to watch Chainsaw Massacre just because Texas.

Almost zero gore in that film. Possibly the greatest horror film ever made. It has some dark humor. If you like comedy, watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. You also get Dennis Hopper chewing up scenery.

I love horror comedy - it's a great way to ease into the genre. A few other recs in that vein:

• Tucker and Dale vs Evil
• The Cabin in the Woods
• Bodies Bodies Bodies
• Freaky
• Happy Death Day
• Final Girls
• X
• Jennifer's Body

Just watched it.  Jesus H Christ.  Not necessarily scary in my book, but 100% fucked up.

[BurgleBro 787]

Watching the peacock show Hysteria.   Kinda PG13 but got Bruce Campbell.  Decent so far.  1989 satanic panic setting, light hearted.  Jeffrey Combs and my eternal crush Barbara Crampton had a cameo in ep 5.

 

 

[Fud 9551]

Color out of Space (2019) was fine. Not bad, not very remarkable. 

[Reynolds Woodcock 4738]

Drag Me To Hell - this kind of kitschy, Sam Raimi comedy horror just doesn’t do it for me. I’m not in suspense, I’m not scared and I’m not laughing, so I don’t get the point. I know it’s blasphemous, but I feel the same way about Evil Dead II. Just not my jam.

Apartment 7A - my wife requested this. Boring and uninteresting.

[dcbc 14464]

I'm not sure where else to put this. But I laughed . . .

[wutang75 440]

If you like chaotic, single-shot films Mads on Shudder is a wild ride. Loved it.

[Fud 9551]

Trap- I thought the first part of the movie was kind of bad, but the rest was good, so I kind of wonder if it was on purpose. Seemed like the movie was a vehicle to showcase M Night's daughter 

The Queen of Black Magic- solid foreign horror movie. Doesn't necessarily need to be on your must-watch list, but you also won't be pissed that you watched it

It’s not Shaun of the Dead or Scary Movie, but there is absolutely a significant amount of intended comedy (particularly in overall tone and presentation), just like in Evil Dead II, etc. And plenty of contemporary writing comments on it as such.

For those of you raising budding horror enthusiasts, this article on The Best Horror Movies for Kids is pretty good. 

[mdmost 42997]

Watched Doctor Sleep tonight. Very enjoyable. Rebecca Ferguson was on fire. 

[Billy Pilgrim 1960]

Watched 1408 with John Cusack tonight- hadn’t seen it in a few years. It’s a solid haunted house (hotel room) flick. Worth checking out if it’s been awhile since you’ve seen it.

[texastough 1129]

Last night watched Get Out for the first time. Loved it. Its probably been discussed upthread - its not scary in a prototypical horror movie way. Really well done wrt race/racism

[Fud 9551]

In a Violent Nature is really damn good, although it had a weird ending for a slasher like that

I don’t have shudder so I took the opportunity to watch this last night. I thought this was really well done. Captured the feel of late night talk shows from 70’s and 80’s perfectly 

[Deej 76750]

And all the paranormal and skeptic tropes.

[notre dame joe 186]

The Haunting, original.  Wow they did so much with so little.

[Knoxtnhorn 5971]

Has Bone Tomahawk been mentioned?  That was surprisingly good.  It's kind of like From Dusk Til Dawn.  Mostly a western for a half, then the script gets flipped.

[Gene Parmesan 4002]

Rented Longlegs on Amazon Friday night.  It was okay, they should have used Nic Cage more.

[mdmost 42997]

Older one and me watched The Exorcist last night. She liked it but I think kids today are so desensitized by gore that hauntings and possessions don't really faze them. It was scary but not worse than other more recent movies she's seen. We agree that movies where there's some realism to them are more scary. I'm debating Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 

[Celery Man 20929]

indie slasher comedy

One of my faves. That first drop from the staircase is special 

[mdleast 8289]

If any of you have not seen REC, it is important that you watch the subtitled version and NOT the dubbed version.  Awesome movie and only 80 minutes to boot.  Another found footage movie I like and may revisit soon is Hell House, LLC. Liked it, its sequel and the Origins prequel.  

I watched MadS last night.  Really impressed.

minutes to boot.  Another found footage movie I like and may revisit soon is Hell House, LLC. Liked it, its sequel and the Origins prequel.  
I watched MadS last night.  Really impressed. 

REC2 is great as well. Starts off right where 1 left off. I would also recommend the US version with Jennifer Carpenter (Avett) - Quarantine. A very effective remake.

(Can anyone tell me why it keeps doing this when I quote someone else’s post? I’m using Tapatalk).

Really enjoyed Late Night With the Devil. Adding that and In a Violent Nature to recent horror rec lists 

Still need to see The Substance, Terrifier 3, Cuckoo, and Strange Darling

Also need to see Red Rooms

What is it that scares you? Jump scares? Supernatural stuff? Based on what you've said, I'd consider this list:

• Paranormal Activity (found footage, scary mostly b/c of vibes and not so much because of actual imagery)
• Hereditary (supernatural horror, Toni Colette being a queen)
• Carrie (the original)
• Shaun of the Dead (British zombie spoof)
• Ready or Not (wedding night from hell; also pretty comedic)
• Barbarian (Air BnB from hell; pretty good change-up in the middle)

Let me know what you think of this and what you're into/not into and I can provide more recs. I'm not super into slashers so the others can give you more direction there.

 

 

So this past week, I've watched:

The Dead Don’t Die - not scary or even particularly interesting and slow

Bodies Bodies Bodies - a couple of good jumps but nothing terribly scary; funny ending

Evil Dead - I liked the Exorcist vibe and it some pretty good creepy jumps and blood

Zombieland and Zombieland 2 - fun as hell, not scary but had a few adrenaline moments

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil - legitimately funny and enjoyable 

The Birds (original) - I guess this was scary in 1963; hard to get past archaic SFX and sound design

Thinking for my next few:  X, Evil Dead (original), The Thing, Carrie, Cabin in the Woods, Happy Death Day; might also go watch a couple of older slashers in the spirit of the Halloween season.

Good list. I actually saw Shaun of the Dead and loved it. I think I also watched part of Ready or Not on a plane or something. Might revisit.

Maybe I am gravitating more toward the comedy horror genre.

I don’t love gore or torture stuff. But it doesn’t “scare” me necessarily. I watched all the Terrifier 2 kills on a YouTube video and that was as much blood as one could cram into those scenes and wasn’t too phased by it (bedroom scene was intense).

Jump scares I think are what mostly get me and things like Paranormal Activity just seem to be all suspense between jump scares.

I feel I also need to watch Chainsaw Massacre just because Texas.

Don’t watch the trailer before and don’t read synopsis info (best to watch it as it plays out), but I recommend Little Monsters (2019) on Hulu with Lupita Nyongo.  It’s in that comedy vein.  
 

also, I wish I could watch Cabin in the Woods for the first time again - love that movie.
