Lets have a thread to discuss all things, horror and cult films(can be sci-fi or fantasy as long as it's a cult film).
Show us some cool movie posters and box art or recommend some movies; bonus points if they're obscure and very little known, or have good gore.

My first recommendation is "The Funhouse," a lesser known but very good slasher that probably doesn't get talked about as much, because it was never made into a horror franchise.
The film was made by Tobe Hooper(director of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1 and 2, as well as Poltergeist, and Salem's Lot 1979) , who I suspect re-wrote parts of the film, as the novelization of the movie differs greatly with it being unclear how much of the novelization came from the original working script, and how much was invented by the novelization author, Dean Koontz.
The film is about a group of teens who decide to spend the night in a carnival funhouse and witness a murder as they're hunted by the killers. It really feels like a successor to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, with creepy carnies and weirdos in a sleazy carnival and freakshow setting.
>The Prowler
Here's a lesser known again relegated to obscurity because it never became a franchise, but happens to be a slasher masterpiece, directed by Joseph Zito(director of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter) and with special effects by Tom Savini.
The movie itself is very mean spirited, and about a soldier who returns home after being cucked while overseas, exacting his revenge on his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend as well on a slew of other women with some of the best 80's gore put to film.
>Frankenhooker
Do you like monster girls? Well, here's Frankenhooker, the heartwarming story of a man whose girlfriend is accidentally decapitated in a horrible accident, and then revived by having her head sewn onto body parts from dead prostitutes, which causes her to take on the personality of a hooker and run around town fucking strangers for cash. However fucking her causes her clients to unexpectedly get electrocuted by her Frankenstein pussy.
sounds interesting. i'll have to check this out if joe bob doesn't play it first.
now i've seen this. good gore but i fucking hate zito. everything he does from his slashers to his chuck norris action flicks has such flat direction. the best horror film about a soldier coming home all fucked up is deathdream aka dead of night.
>Deadly Friend
Do you like monster girls? Well, here's a film that's like a more serious version of Frankhooker, minus the hookers aspect. The film is directed by Wes Craven and stars Kristy Swanson(star of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie).
The story is about a girl who is being raped and abused by her father, who one day viciously attacks her and puts her in a coma, then decides to have the plug pulled on her at the hospital. However she has a male friend who's in love with her but never really told her who decides to revive her by putting parts from a robot in her brain, transforming her into a cyborg which he tries to hide in his house. But his cyborg-waifu then begins killing people such as her father with her super human strength and abilities.
Zito has a very slow style, but he lucked out into doing The Prowler and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, both of which he managed to do with Tom Savini, and are both fairly enjoyable.
The Funhouse is deffinately better though than either Final Chapter or Prowler, but it's not heavy on the gore, much like TCM a lot of the movie is about it's atmosphere. There's also some tits in it for good measure.
>Return of the Living Dead
Not a 100% unheard of movie, but should be more well known and overshadowed by other zombie movies.
The film takes the premise that the movie, Night of Living Dead wasn't just a movie but in fact really did happen, and the government covered it up, because they were involved in creating zombies with a special gas they invented and accidentally leaked. Soon more of the gas is leaked after a barrel of the stuff is accidentally shipped to a business that deals with medical cadavers. And as the guys who leaked the gas keep trying to deal with the situation and fix the problem it keeps getting more and more out of hand, soon raising an entire cemetery from grave.
The movie features a pretty good soundtrack and some humor, feeling like if they made the game Zombies Ate My Neighbors into a movie. It's also famous for scream queen, Linnea Quigley doing a strip tease in a graveyard. Actors from this movie would also go on to appear in Friday the 13th parts 5 and 6.
Also if you like Linnea Quigley, check out Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-rama, which I'm currently seeding.

They had extra footage left over after they made Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, and so they turned it into an entire second movie, which they shot new footage for. I'm currently seeding this one as well.

This is the best horror film, Possession. Surrealist horror best horror.
>The Slumberparty massacre
Here's a fun slasher made by a woman, parodying horror movies, by having a slasher who's weapon he uses to kill is an actual metaphorical penis that he uses to murder girls. His weapon? A giant power drill. It 's surprisingly good and not like something you'd expect a woman to make.
>House II
Now here's the rare example of a sequel that's better than the original. House II is an entirely unrelated story to the original, and just simply follows the premise of a guy moving into an old house that belonged to his family and happens to be haunted.
The story? A guy realizes his great, great, grandfather, who was a cowboy discovered a magical crystal skull that supposedly imbues the owner with eternal life, and realizes that his great, great, grandfather must have buried the skull with his body. But when he digs him up, not only does he find the skull, but his relative who's now a reanimated corpse wants to go out on the town and celebrate after being in a grave for decades, while also trying to keep the crystal skull out of the wrong hands, including his undead rival who will murder anyone to claim the skull for himself.
The story itself is fairly light, almost like an adventure comedy with horror elements and traveling to other dimensions, battling cultists, cavemen, dinosaurs, and cowboys.
Prowler is great forgotten horror. Tonally kind of like F13 Part 2.
house II is so much fun. it's an underrated series in general
Do you like Nazi monster movies? Then check out:
>The Keep
It's quite literally what I said a monster movie involving both nazies and monsters, and directed by Michael Mann.

>The Gate
The premise here is some kids who are into listening to heavy metal discover how to summon demons through a record album. Soon the boys have opened a gateway to hell and all sorts of demons are crawling through into our reality, and now they must find a way to close it.
>pg
>better than the first
>Serial Mom
Director John Waters' horror comedy about a house wife who may or may not be a serial killer removing undesirables form society.
>pg
And yet... it is so. The story's just much better.
YES, so good.
>Sleepaway Camp
An 80's slasher that takes place at a summer camp. But unlike Friday the 13th the murders take place at the camp while it is running with kids around. The main characters themselves are also young actors and not 20 and 30-year-olds playing teens, which is unusual.
>When Angela was a small child her and her brother were in an accident that killed her father and forced her to live with her aunt and cousin, whose over protective of Angela. Angela herself is a very quiet and shy girl who keeps to herself, but for some reason every decides to pick on.
>Bad news for them though, anyone who picks on Angela ends up dead. Is Angela or her protective cousin the killer?
The movie is known for it's surprise ending.
You'll protect Angela, wont you user?
This one is amazing. Super low budget, the hero is an autistic kid obsessed with horror movies and he uses his knowledge to successfully fight the monsters. Also the practical effects are insane. Genuinely disgusting, terrifying stuff. Check it out ASAP.
EVIL LAUGH
Hilariously inept forgotten slasher that's gold if you like so bad it's good stuff. Get loaded with some mates and pop this bad boy in.
CRIMINALLY underrated. this movie is good great.

So good.
NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1980)
Killer Bigfoot pic. The big hairy fucker kills children, rips dicks off and is just generally a total asshole. Sleazy, greasy little film that's a total hoot.
>Silent Night Deadly Night
Now here's a movie that pissed people off and got them genuinely offended when it came out, with a full on media crusade against it.
Here's a movie that was cashing in on the holiday horror film aspect of the 80's, with this one choosing Christmas.
>The movie begins with a liquor store robber dressed in a Santa suit flagging down a family on Christmas, appearing that he has car trouble. But as soon as the family stops he whips out a gun and murders the dad, then proceeds to rape and murder the mom right in front of her two children.
Fast forward a few short years and the kids are in an orphanage run by a strict nun who can't understand why one of the two boys wont just get over his parents being raped and killed in front of him by Santa Claus, and frequently severely beats and punishes him to get him to stop being a spaz.
Years then go by and he's now 18, and the nuns get him a job working at a toy store, where they make him play Santa Claus, where he gets triggered one day and catches one of his co-workers raping another co-worker, so he rushes in to protect her and freaks out and kills the man. So then the woman freaks out at him for killing the man, causing him to snap and decide he needs to punish people for being naughty, by killing them.

Not gonna lie, this movie fucked me up. That ending is just brutal. And the whole thing is just sleazy and mean spirited all the way through and quite creepy and unnerving in parts.
I'll check these out, thanks OP.
I'm a big fan of this one even if it's not that great. Another killer trannie movie, by the way.

You sound like you might like the movie:
>Night Beast
When the movie is focused on the monster it's great, and lucky enough the first roughly 20 minutes are all just straight up monster kills with little to no story or plot, in an almost pornagraphic way. Just one kill after another, and a few gory ones at that and about a dozen or so total. There's even some what of an atmosphere that the movie creates with the creature being in the shadows and a special music score. The movie then becomes funny and weird as it attempts to have the most cringy plot and acting ever put to film.
We're introduced to our main character during all the murders, but he starts getting actual significant development 20 minutes in. He's Sheriff Jack Cinder, a guy who comes off as extremely weak and ineffectual based on his dialogue and poor acting, he also has a giant white guy afro and a 70's porno mustache. Likewise all the characters have very wooden dialogue and actors have reactions that seem inappropriate, as if the characters don't grasp the seriousness of what's happening. There's also a biker that just randomly shows up about 20 minutes in as if we're supposed to know him and he also just starts randomly busting the balls of the main character like he's a high school bully picking on a nerd. And much like in every scene Jack is in, this biker is able to push him around like he's a small frail woman afraid to do or say anything when other characters get into confrontations with him.
Then for no reason, our hero decides that while everyone in town is dying, to have sex with his co-worker, in one of the worst and simultaneously worst and most kino sex scenes. It's so bad and poorly acted that Jack awkwardly stands and looks like he's never seen a naked woman before, and even asks if it's ok for him to take his shirt off like he doesn't know what to do.
My review from when I rewatched it in 2016....
Pros...
> Killer having a full body soldier uniform is very effective & menacing.
> Vicky Dawson makes for a adorably cute yet very assertive & strong final girl, ad been under the impression she was Amy Steel from Friday the 13th Part 2, they look & sound alot alike.
> Her deputy boyfriend is likable if clearly a bit out of his depth In being in charge and is submissive to her at points.
> Not many kills but what we get is absolutely brutal. None of that fall down after one cut bullshit we got when the censors went wild in the late 80s. Here the victims struggle hard.
> Solid errie if indistinct score.
> Film has a good amount more visual flair then many slashers. Closer to the original Halloween then Friday the 13th.
Cons...
> The deputy when inspecting 2 houses skips over certain rooms that he pauses at but moves on from??? Like 3 times. 1 of the rooms even had its light on.
> The old man in the Wheelchair disappears from the film despite his house being a major set piece, it's never implied he was killed as far as I can tell.
> One cute relief moment towards the very end drags on forever.
> A little bit slow at points.
Memoirs of an Invisible Man
John Carpenter does his own take on The Invisible Man, starring Chevy Chase, who accidentally becomes invisible and then is hunted by government assassins led by Sam Neil who will kill anyone to capture him, because they'd like to have their own invisible assassins.
If you like John Carpenter and Chevy Chase, and movies such as Fletch, you'll probably dig this one.
so THAT's where that pic of sam neill with the pistol up to his head is from
pure 100% kino
goat level horror.
these are all great suggestions. pay a few dollars for a Shudder subscription and watch all episodes of Joe Bob Briggs Last Drive In. it will cover half the list here and he is fucking gold
Wasn't this movie supposed to be a lot more fleshed out than what the final cut ended up being? I remember reading something of the sort, and I did get that feeling while watching it, that it was meant to be grander. It's a shame, because it oozes potential.
>Jack Frost
Not to be confused with a family movie named Jack Frost that also stars a living snow man. This is a straight to video sleaze fest about a serial killer who gets turned into a mutant killer snow man.
The film's campy fun, and also features Shannon Elizabeth from American Pie, being raped and murdered by a snow man who uses a carrot for his dick.
Am I going crazy, or did Brahms do nothing wrong?
Like- he was an autistic boy who tarded out and killed his playmate at like five, then he crawled into a wall.
Then he just kept doing his thing in the wall.
A woman was hired to take care of him, she did a shitty job and he was angry so he pulled some pretty benign pranks on her, she got better at her job so he stopped fucking with her. A fucking maniac broke into his house and tried to kill his caretaker, so he brained him. In response his grocery boy and nanny chase him around and attempt to murder him- all he does from this point is self defense as people try to kill him in his own house.
>ywn be a child in the 80s during the height of the horror genre before kids got desensitized
Fortunately I got 2nd hand experience from my brother who shared his VHS kino with me, but by my teenage years all horror was the shitty "98-05" stream of movies FeelsBadMan
>Not to be confused with a family movie named Jack Frost
it was always insane to me that the two came out only like a year apart and had the exact same title. bet there were a lot of fun mixups at blockbuster with that.
>Jennifer
Now here's a short horror film by Dario Argento that's worth checking out for anyone into monstergirls. It was released as part of the Masters of Horror series.
It's about a cop who one day encounters a man who's trying to kill a sobbing woman, so officer shoots the man, only to discover the woman has a monstrous face and doesn't talk. Afterwords, with no place to send her, he decides he feels compelled to take care of her and let her live with him and his family as he seems to be getting seduced by this feral monster woman, who begins fucking him and eating people and animals.
The story is based on a comic from a horror magazine, where it's implied she's actually an alien who attracts men to her to protect and take care of her while she feeds.
Horror movies died with the movie Scream and when practical effects were pretty much phased out by CGI. By the time Scream came out, it was like all movies were about mocking typical horror conventions and tropes. I can't name many good horror movies from the 2000's.
There's no way it wasn't intentional, like when Carnosaur came out right before Jurassic Park, because they were trying to capitalize on a big movie that was coming out with their own horror version.
A24 is fixing horror right now
>Burial Ground
Italian zombie movie, sometimes listed as one of the Zombi sequels, but is great in that they actually cast a full on adult midget in the role of a child. And not even like a young midget, like a middle aged, 40-year-old midget, and then put him in an incest plot with his mom where he's trying to suck on her titties and then becomes a zombie, so she lets his zombie self suck her tits, resulting in him biting off her nipple.
Just take a look at this midget!

Trailer:

Try not to watch this movie, knowing full well you're in for midget kino at it's finest!
>Cannibal Holocaust
A found footage type of movie about some documentary film makers who go to South America to document real life cannibalism and native tribes, because they want to make a shock documentary. However the found footage ends up showing that the film makers are the villains, staging scenes, burning a village, raping a woman, even killing animals, up until they get killed and eaten by one of the tribes.
The film is also famous for containing very graphic and real animal cruelty videos, including a horrific scene where the film makers and actors slaughter and killer a real turtle that they cut the head off of and play with, and then cut open while it's still kicking and moving. It's head even moves a little after they decapitate it, and then they cut open it's shell and remove it's innards, and a female actor really vomits while they do it and shoves the camera away from her as she pukes.
The movie also contains lots and lots of very graphic rape scenes. This is a movie that if you watch with your friends will make the room go dead silent, like you're all seeing a snuff film.
>The New York Ripper
The movie is known for it's overly sexualized murder scenes, with the killer doing things like stabbing his victims in the vagina and for the fact that the killer talks like Donald Duck, even making quacking noises.
One of the murder scenes:

I've watched this one so many times. It's the perfect zombie movie.
>BEST SCENE FROM SPECIES 2 CUMMING THRU!
Naturally.
2 has a cool lesser seen poster
I'm stunned a company like Arrow hasn't released this yet. With all the scenes of Bigfoot forcing two girl scouts to stab the other and whipping someone with intestines, you have a trash masterpiece.
Such a fucking surreal flick; I watched this so many times.
Saw this when I was 8 or so, and I loved it. Even though I assume the gate II sucks I’m gonna watch it one day
>Springstein
They fucked up
Checked.
Neat. Never seen that one before.
II isn't as good, but it's still got it's moments. I rented it when I was around 12 from a mom and pop video store on vhs back in the day, and was very disappointed when I watched this and Troll 2, along with Ghoulies III
>"Wow, I didn't know they made a Gate II!? I gotta rent this!"
>"Wow, I didn't know they made a Troll II!? I gotta rent this!"
>"Wow, I didn't know they made a Ghoulies III!? I gotta rent this!"
But anyway, Gate II was the best of those films.
I rented this back in the 90's while in a video store, simply because I saw the hockey mask and Freddy glove. It was the first time I saw any of the Sleepaway Camp movies, but spoiled the ending of the first movie for me, which I didn't see until later. I can't recall if I then went and rented the original or waited until it was on DVD to finally see it.
Fucking amazing movie. My mom loved this movie and let us watch it as kids.
movie is all kinds of shit but the more i think about the creepier it is.
I need haunted house/old dark house kino recommendations pls.
Also why is Stephen King such a shit writer? All of the film adaptations of his books are far and away better than the books themselves, even the bad ones.
Would you?
Hell night is some old dark house kino
>I can't name many good horror movies from the 2000's.
These are good and not meta.
Pandorum
The Ring
The Grudge 1 & 2
I ended up reading Salem's Lot and was so disappointed. For every good and interesting idea King has in it, he spends too much time on world building and talking about stuff like eating sour creme in a chapter, and the vampire in the book is just some dude in a suit.
Meanwhile the Tobe Hooper version guts it and fully realizes that Barlow wasn't scary in the book, so they make him monstrous and based off of the silent film Nosferatu.
Stephen King also bitched up Stanley Kubrick gutting The Shinning in the same manner.
youtube.com
As for good Haunted House movies, try House and House II, and The Gate. It's hard to find good ones in that genre.
Try the 1963 version of The Haunting.
this shit fucked me
I don't really care for The Ring and felt like it was too into quick scares such as when they should the first death scene, and the Grudge movies seemed really overrated. An ok story, but ultimately just did nothing for me.
*such as when they showed the first death
Dangerous Seductress (1995)
Susan is beaten by her boyfriend and flees to her sister who works as a fashion model in Indonesia. There, she finds a magic book and as she reads a spell men she was a witch who makes her incredibly beautiful in exchange for that she get blood to the witch by seducing men and empty them of blood.
-H. Tjut Djalil director of Lady Terminator
>As for good Haunted House movies, try House and House II, and The Gate. It's hard to find good ones in that genre.
The Innkeepers (2011). I would avoid trailers.
Have you tried Night of the Demons? This is another classic with Linnea Quigley.
Silent House with Elizabeth Olsen. Not really haunted but it's decent. Kinda fucked up towards the end.
Looks pretty neato.
He is desperate to be Lovecraft with his pseudo-eldritch cosmic horror schtik that goes fucking nowhere. Will definitely look up those three.
Loved this film. Had almost forgotten about it. Thanks, user.
Linnea Quigley, Bauhaus soundtrack, and 80s camp is pure horror-kino.
Thanks, bros. Got my downloads all planned out now.
It looks fucked up.
>Night of the Creeps
A zombie movie, where alien slugs get inside people and turn them into zombies.
>Night of the Comet
A post apocalyptic zombie movie about two sisters trying to survive after much of humanity is killed, while the rest become zombie like ghouls.
Good obscure Witchcraft kino right hur.
>Killer Klowns from Outer Space
The name says it all. An alien invasion by creatures that happen to look and resemble clowns, with the creatures caccooning people in cotton candy and drinking their blood thru crazy straws.

My favorite non Argento Giallo right here. It's creepy, it's vicious and violent as hell. Pretty cool little mystery. Loads of atmosphere. Eerie music. It's got some seriously retarded moments (a character calls what's very obviously a spider a "cockroach" for some reason) and just generally iffy dubbing, but I think this is probably the most underrated Giallo ever. It might be the only one I've ever seen outside of Argento that actually tried to be outright scary.
Thrill me...
>Shallow Ground
A supernatural vaguely-zombie revenge mystery flick. I saw this when I was in highschool and it really stuck with me for a few gory visuals and the concept of the dead rising up to kill the people who murdered them, and if one person killed multiple people all the victims would merge into one single being.
>Pontypool
Essentially a zombie movie, except the viral infection is caused by saying or hearing specific words. It's a Canadian movie so some of it is in French.
>The Burning
An overlooked horror movie, because there's no sequels. It features tons of gore and a very mean spirited plot, along with Jason Alexander in a leading role when he was young and had hair.
>A killer is murdering teenagers in revenge after a prank causes him to get set on fire and horribly disfigured, to the point where even hookers wont have sex with him, no matter how much he pays them, evening having a scene where he kills a hooker.
>You'll protect Angela, wont you user?
>Where I'm from we call them baldies.
That open pedophile working at the camp.
Saw this one once. I thought it was thoroughly intriguing and even a bit creepy. Might be time for a second watch.
And how the negro cook just laughs off his pedophilia
Candyman (1992) is my second favourite horror film. It has great atmosphere.
>Saw this one once. I thought it was thoroughly intriguing and even a bit creepy. Might be time for a second watch.
I didn't like the explanation 3/4 of the way, though you might like it. Up till that part I thought it was great.
Good lil flick. Cropsey deserved to have a franchise. He should be in the same conversation as Freddy, Jason, Michael etc.
Lady Terminator is so underrated.
>Cropsey deserved to have a franchise. He should be in the same conversation as Freddy, Jason, Michael etc.
His look is a bit weird and not as cool as the others. It's more gross and disgusting than scary. And his signature weapon is pretty lame. It's a good film though. It could use a remake I think, with some changes.
>And how the negro cook just laughs off his pedophilia
It's so weird. He is literally a cunnyposter tier dude and nobody cares.
I'd rather a sequel, but a well made remake would be cool as well.
Black Christmas is an oddly funny horror film. Possibly an inspiration for Halloween.
Absolutely an inspiration for Halloween. Halloween is in my top 5 horror films of all time, but I gotta say Black Christmas is creepier. It's probably the only slasher that got under my skin. I think it has a bit too much comedy in the second half maybe 5-10 minutes could have been shaved off, but all in all it's a classic.
I've been meaning to give the remake another go. I watched it once in 06 and chucked the disc across the room. But maybe if viewed as simply a stupid slasher it works on its own. But yeah the OG film is great. I wish we got a 10/15/20 years later sequel.
>My Bloody Valentine
Not to be confused with the shitty remake with the cliche ending where the killer doesn't know he's the killer. I also recommend watching the uncut version(as you should have been anyway), because of all of it's extra gore that was restored to the movie.
Overall, the original is a very mean spirited movie, just check out this clip from the ending:

Deathline/Raw Meat is really entertaining from a non-horror perspective. It's not bad horror but the best thing about it the acting in non-horror scenes by some great actors like Donald Pleasance.
great band
Saw both this and The Exorcist when I was a wee bastard. The Exorcist gave me one sleepless night. The Entity gave me about a months worth. Even as an adult certain scenes from this creep me to this day. That music by Charles Bernstein....holy fuck. Extremely eerie in places, atmospheric in others, and then there's THAT music....you know the one.
>this shit fucked me
I don't like how Texas Chainsaw Massacre is more disgusting than scary. It's mostly just gross visuals. I also found it kind of an offensive portrayal of rural people. I liked the 2003 remake better because it was more slasher and less close-ups of rotting food, plus Biels tiddies.
Not that user, but I hate the remakes because of how they don't get the 70's culture correct, such as talking about shit like Vietnam when it's clear the people writing the movie have no clue what they're talking about and put it in just to try and pretend that it's the 70's, like if you just drop in references and pop culture it'll feel like the 70's. Rob Zombie gets it with movies like Devil's Rejects, and never off hand that I can think of did something like that.
Plus there's a scene where hookers are exploding into pieced due to crack cocaine.
Sorry, but the setting of Chainsaw Massacre is just how nervous city people who are afraid of trees imagine what the countryside is like.
That was quick.
The TCM remake looked and felt like an R rated abercrombie and fitch commercial. An absolute plastic bullshit Hollywood version of what made the original so great and scary.
>that's not what real white trash serial killers from Texas are like, it's just a myth city folk invented
Blair's cleavage is the star of that one. Shame some of the old film elements were too fucked up to use so parts look like garbage.
Linda Blair was hot as fuck back in the day
Christ himself couldn't exorcise me outta that ass.
Fall Of The House of Usher
The Changeling
Crimson Peak
Hell Night (someone already posted)
people shit on it for being "gross" or "the birth of torture porn" but honestly the way most of it was shot was pure kino, especially the last scene.
Most of the movie is about the atmosphere, which is what makes it good. It's the same thing with The Funhouse They build up the suspense and tension by showing off unsavory characters and a creepy environment. Instead of rural Texas it's a carnival in the Funhouse, complete with trashy carnies and side show freaks; things like that create a mood.
>Will, do you remember when I became your therapist and brainwashed you with hypnosis, and schemed to convince everyone around you that you were responsible for my killings, just because I was bored and lonely, you were sent to an asylum and I pushed you over the edge to start embracing your inner serial killer by manipulating you into trying to murder me by proxy, all while I was fucking your girlfriend and murdering some of your FBI colleagues, do you remember Will, I then arranged for your release after which I kept trying to murder you while we resumed therapy together, so we could start killing and eating our victims together? Don't tell Jack about that time I pounded your boy pussy in front of the fireplace that one time we drank too much wine over dinner. You were a good friend, Will.
Farewell to the Flesh was good also.
>I'd rather a sequel
Same. I am really sad that they are doing a remake of Madman instead of the sequel that has been proposed for years.
And the writer saying he is going to make the lead female stronger and more feminist is utterly absurd.
Gaylen Ross was a great, mature and very strong final girl in the original.
>Not to be confused with the shitty remake
Nah that was good also.
mfw when I've seen every movie itt except The Boy and Shallow Ground
It's mediocre at best through most of it and ruined with a terrible ending similar to the shitty movie, Hide and Seek, where the killer doesn't know he's the killer.
Same, except I've seen Shallow Ground.
Out of curiosity, do you think you could name any horror movies that are really popular/culty but you think are actually total shit and people should avoid at all costs?
I had Terrifier recommended to me a lot over the past year along with hearing general praise for it but I finally just watched it tonight and I'll never watch it again. The clown is the only thing that carries the film and even then it's really weak. This movie bored me to tears and the gore in it wasn't even that great.
don't like the Hatchet movies, and both Trick 'r Treat and Tucker & Dale are overrated
Totally agree, couldn't even finish that piece of shit. It actually made me mad how fucking awful it was.
The scream factory version went out of print so it's worth like $50-$60 right now.
Never seen it either but the original vhs art is such a classic
Have to watch this every Christmas, also highly recommend the remake.
>Not to be confused with the shitty remake
The remake was also good.
Good thread.
Some interesting movies for this weekend and the next week.
Thank you
That sounds pretty cool.
Hatchet was incredibly frustrating to watch. The few kills were great but the cast were horrendous, the setting wasn't utilised and it was a complete waste. Such wasted potential.
i don't like modern horror movies that prioritize comedy over being horror, which is lots of them
back in the 80s they just called those "comedies"
Name a more chad movie monster
>sits in box all day
>gives no shits
>can beat the fuck out of multiple people at once
>survives being thrown in a lake
>eats bitches whole
Yeah, it really was a letdown.
Very underrated kino. Good taste, user
