I love looking at these lists and finding the occasional film that I haven't yet seen.  Cue Last Train to Buzan.

A movie that I liked that I rarely see mentioned on this site (or others) ... Cabin in the Woods.  Holy cow that was a fun one to watch for the first time w/o knowing the plot.

Second half of the '21 Texas-OU game.  That was a bad horror movie . . .

Feel the same way about the 2nd half of the ‘84 NSF between UK/GTown...   3-33...  Fuck!

Too much of a pussy these days with horror movies but Get Out was damn good.

Yeah Cabin in the Woods was great. 

Just watch it - the less you know going in, the better.

I didn’t think Cabin in the Woods was scary, but it was damn entertaining.

My thoughts as well.  It was just really fun.  Reminds me of another humorous horror flick with a similar plot switch at the midpoint - From Dusk Til Dawn.  Halfway through, you're all, "What the hell just happened?"

That was a good one. The Grudge (2004) was also super freaky.

The Grudge to me changed the tied down genre. I did not finish it it freaked me out to much. Damn thing still tapped me on the shoulder last night. I have nightmares when stressed out and that Baylor game screwed me up.

I’m a Stephen King fanboy, so I loved It (but still haven’t seen Chapter 2). Don’t know why you needed the “fuck off” disclaimer.

Can't remember if it was this board or another I post on but people seemed to be very mixed on it with some preferring the original Tim Curry version.

I thought the new ones were pretty awesome, especially Chapter 1.  I saw both in theaters twice.

Maybe. Tim Curry’s Pennywise gave me nightmares when the TV movie came out, but the reboot was so much better.

Has The Ring been called out yet ?  2002 release I think.  I thought it was great, and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Fuck that movie.  There was one point I jumped and screamed . . . in a damn movie theater.  My wife will never let me live that down - nor should she.

It’s the season for scary movies, so I watched “Under the Shadow” on Netflix tonight. It’s Iranian and set in the Iran/Iraq war. Very, very well done. Some genuinely spooky/scary parts. It’s about a woman and her daughter that are haunted by djinn as their high-rise apartment is shelled by Iraq. I recommend it.

I burst out laughing at this description. How the hell do you pitch that to a production company??

Yeah. Not your typical premise, even for a horror film. It's definitely not "main strea" - more of an indie/art-house movie. But it's pretty good if you can deal with subtitles. 

Many of my favorite horror/thriller films that have come out in the last 10-15 years have been foreign - the Wailing, Train to Busan, Let the Right One In, etc
