After Midnight (1989)
REC, the spanish one and only the first one (I didn't watch the sequels but they look like shit)
Summer of 84
A Cure for Wellness
Blackcoat’s Daughter
The Innkeepers
OP I'm gonna hijack your thread because there are more pressing matters.
Fellas, which horror movie has the best waifus/sexual content? Pic related is Animal starring Elizabeth Gillies, she shows cleavage throughout the whole movie.
In The Mouth of Madness
Sleepaway Camp is based
Creepshow
>dat poster
This
What are some movies where the scares will make you laugh as opposed to screeam? Like you're still scared, but your reaction is to laugh.
You're the s()yest of boys.
Excellent choice.
Pic related has fit birds in tight clothes
Never seen summer of 84 but this and autopsy of Jane doe
Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness
Dead Alive
Tragedy Girls was fun and a lot less SJW than I expected.
Cemetery Man
Lake Mungo ftw
It’s technically found footage but presented as a legit documentary. Really unsettling and it stuck with me for a long time. Good luck finding a decent copy though, I don’t think it streams anywhere and I don’t think it ever got a Blu-ray release
Drag me to hell
Dawn of the dead remake
Any recommendations for underrated Slashers? I prefer ones that take itself a little seriously over throwback romps and screamlikes.
The soi horror meme is awful but black coats daughter is absolutely soi horror, also innkeepers is shit
Maniac (1980)
The town that dreaded sundown
Rorschach
The Strangers
Sinister
Altered
The McPherson Tape
Grave Encounters
Halloween (Rob Zombie)
Wolf Creek
This and Sinister Green room
Black Christmas
>The McPherson Tape
Any more like this? Something that feels like a REAL piece of found footage?
And lords of Salem
Hellraiser
Re-Animator
Christine
Rosemary’s Baby
The Howling
Trick R Treat
The Ninth Gate
Second A CURE FOR WELLNESS.
Underrated classic, will be a cult movie in less than a decade. The rest on that list though are garbage.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Hellraiser
Deep Red
Opera
My Bloody Valentine (1981, uncut version)
Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Night of the Creeps
Blood and Black Lace
>halloween (rob zombie)
Based. Both of his films are among the best Halloween films.
Existenz
Videodrome
The Fly
À l'intérieur
Poughkeepsie Tapes
Fire In The Sky
Jacob's Ladder
Some that I could remember right now that weren't mentioned in this thread
The Ritual was good.
Hills have eyes remake
Mirrors
Blair witch project
>The Innkeepers
Get the fuck outta here
THE WAILING
Is it about as good as Apostle? Because that was pretty shit
The middle part with the cultists is terrible, especially the cliche "cute girl cultist is friendly" with her horrible exposition dump
I trapped the devil. Not scary, but very tense, holds your attention. Pity about the name.
First is best, second is ok.
Pleb
Rewtched recently, good film
Torrented it last week. Snoozefest. Not scary, atmospheric went no where.
>Something that feels like a REAL piece of found footage?
The Borderlands
This deserves more credit than it gets.
But then, I'm a fan of supernatural noir
Are you sure about I trapped the devil?
Borderlands was great, liked the whole religion vs science vs scam artists thing it did.
dat ending
Not a film but it's a neat miniseries that covers the same 'real' events of The Conjuring 2
BEGOTTEN
Yes, good shout. Well acted, humour was appropriate and ending delivered.
> Any recommendations for underrated Slashers? I prefer ones that take itself a little seriously
The Norwegian Cold Prey trilogy.
Fantastic snowbound setting.
First 2 films have a great final girl played by Ingrid Bolso Berdal (snake tattooed girl in westworld)
Really menacing ghost/phantom like killer.
3rd film is a prequel and the lesser of the series altho still worth seeing.
The Haunting (1963)
terrifier
Carnival Of Souls
Yeah I was sceptical. It's well done, very tense. If you like jumpscares skip it, but at 80 minutes you can't go wrong.
The Innocents (1961)
I fell asleep and thought it was pretty average
I liked the church on top of pagan sites angle.
[sp]Painful[/sp]
Trailer for 1 -youtube.com
Trailer for 2 -youtube.com
Trailer for 3 -youtube.com
I suggest watching it subtitled as the dub is fairly poor as far as I can remember.
Curse of the Demon (1957)
Possession (1981)
Dark Water (2002)
Phase IV
Retribution (2006)
Peeping Tom
Mr. Vampire
Bio Zombie
Evil Dead Trap
Dead of Night (1974)
Long Weekend (1978)
Viy
mon mon mon MONSTERS
REC 2 is good.
The Devil Rides Out
Semi decent low budget American rip off of it with more gore & nudity called Blood Runs Cold...
Amen brother!
Damn that ending.
Fair enough, I was into it and wanted to see how it panned out.
D-Tox / Eye See You
youtube.com
Not full horror but a Seven-ish thriller in the snow.
Last Man on Earth
City of the Living Dead
Horror Express
The Creeping Flesh
Return of the Living Dead
Cemetary Man
Lighthouse / Dead of Night (1999)
www3.123movies.la
Film is played completely straight, really good island setting, killer is MMyers-ish in a good way (that said he could use a mask or long coat as is he is a bit too skinny/lanky looking at times)
Resolution
Borderlands (aka Final Prayer)
Last Shift is a bit cheesey but entertaining. Borderlands however is legitimately disturbing however, low-budget Brit film
Oh and A Dark Song--not really scary but one of the few horror films that gets ritual magick (almost) totally right--it's not scary per se; just slow-paced, meditative, emotionally-devastating and very eerie at times. Also stars based Steve Oram (from Sightseers et. al)
Blood on satan's claw.. Had to stop watching for a brief period to please my penis due to Linda Hayden being so cute in the that movie
>(aka Final Prayer)
Was that the US release name? Haven't heard it called that
>Last Shift
Police station one?
Fuck off with that dishonest "documentary"
Shit, where do I know this drawing from? Recognise the artstyle big time
You think it's all bullshit?
Seconded, big fan of this film, one of very few to genuinely frighten me but it's definitely not for everyone
I've watched every single good horror movie multiple times, you won't name any that's left unseen.
Name a single movie
Existenz is dope but I'd call it more sci-fi in the (P.K) Dickian sense
Based, seconded hard. A truly fucking unsettling experience. I read on IMDB that E. Elias Merhige spent like 12 hours treating every minute of footage in post-production, or something? The degrade film effect and haunting sonics are on some subliminal sheeit.
Also I forgot to add (and I'm sur I'll get shit for this) but I really like the V/H/S trilogy.
Oh and Triangle. Lovely little mindbender/slasher
Last Man On Earth is great. Is Cemetary Man the one with Rupert Everett? Good film
I think it must have been the US release name. That's how it's listed on IMDB. Yeah Last Shift is the police station one. There's a Brit one that's a bit like it that I forget the name of with Pollyanna Macintosh and Liam Cunningham, if you liked Last Shift I recommend you check it out, I'll find the name in a sec
Has anyone seen the transgressive films of that German director who did a film based on the Arwen Mewes case? There's one of his that translates as "death Of The angels" or something that I daren't watch. Also any love for Martyrs?
what horror film has TONS of female nudity?
like I'm talking borderline porn
every now and then I like to choke the chicken to some good old silver screen tiddies
I've researched this before but haven't gotten very satisfactory results
VHS 1 and 2
I even liked Viral too, the wraparound story was eerie and the fucking crazy Spanish dimension-swap with the monstrous genitalia was funny and pretty disturbing too
For me, it's The Crate.
Friday the 13th remake and cabin fever remake
Noroi
The V/H/S franchise is underrated. 2 is one of my favorite horror films, 1 is ok, and 3 is an interesting watch with a lot of flaws but it also has Bonestorm, one of the most schway segments.
2 is doooope. Is Bonestorm the skater story? That's fucking ace
Life Force
Also the Japanese cult part from 2 is fucking kino. Though the very end is a little, tiny bit silly it doesn't take away from the preceeding twenty-odd minutes of insanity
Jean Rollin's or Jesús Franco's movies. They're not particularly scary though.
Rec 2 is decent enough though largely a retread. The 3rd one is watchable garbage.
I also enjoyed the US remake (pretty much shot for shot) and the sequel to that (actually original).
Definitely. Eden Lake (brit horror from 2008) is also worth watching. They're nothing alike but the Lake reminded me of it.
piranha 3D has an entire scene dedicated to watching two girls synchronize swim naked
The Prowler (1981)
The film with Pollyanna McIntosh I was referring to similar to Last Shift is called Let Us Prey, btw, user
The Nightmare
I love this doc
these look promising
thanks edgar allen bro
Is Eden Lake the one with Michael Fassbinder and Kelly Whatshername? 'Cause there's another Brit film that is "Eden Something" which I haven't seen, which one do you mean? If it's the former I thought that was a legitimately disturbing gang terror/slasher-type film...and the ending was heartbreaking
I dled it but haven't watched it yet so I can't exactly attest to it but "Strip Nude for Your Killer" might be what your looking for.
Woohoo, someone else has finally seen this. What did you think? I enjoyed it for what it was.
The ending of Eden Lake is designed to piss you off in the worst possible way.
Yeah that's the one with them getting harassed/chased by tinkers/gypsies/travellers- solid slasher with good acting.
And yeah the ending was a real suckerpunch.
The head spider scene in The Thing was so ridiculous at that point I laughed, not at the movie but just all the shit the crew goes through by that point
Nah, you just have exceedingly poor taste. Inkeepers is reddit as fuck though. I fucking hate 'clever' horror movies.
Yeah, I suppose it is. The gang leader (Jack Something? Forgot his last name, he's been in loads of god films) is a great actor, he's in a legitimately scary prison film called Starred Up with Ben Mendelsohn
I think the kids are just supposed to be "chavs", I mean they have houses
More thriller than horror but Green Room was punk kino
Summed up perfectly by Palmer’s line “You gotta be fucking kidding”
I refuse to watch anything by Ti West after getting suckered by him (AGAIN) with that bullshit.
The Crazies
Black Mountain Side
Ghostland
Creep 1 and 2
Where my schlock niggas at?
Mayhem is a tongue-in-cheek horror comedy version of The Belko Experiment and it manages to be a better movie in pretty much every single way.
I recommend it.
>Ti West
I really liked The Sacrament because I'm a sucker for found footage and mysterious cult stuff, but The House of the Devil annoyed the shit out of me. Felt like a gimmick movie that didn't work on its own without the whole 70s homage thing.
Please watch Ghostland lads
It's so good and nobody's seen it
CHUD
Way better than I expected. Also lots of actors before they were famous
You're welcome. Try these as well, tons of nudity:
The House on the Edge of the Park
Lifeforce - Mathilda May is hot as fuck.
Embrace of the Vampire
Species
Razorback, Carnosaur, Black Roses, Wicked City, Demons, The Brain
The last exorcism
Based. Schlock or bust.
>Razorback
Underrated Aussie horror kino.
Check out Dark Age as well for that old Australiana feeling.
Maiden In Black was fun(the one with Harry Potter)
The Hatchet movies are good slashers, ton of gore(haven't seen the new one but from the few clips I've seen the gore looks awful)
Session 9 was the best horror movie of the early 2000s. The Asylum was fucking terrifying
Do you mean Asylum?
>Carnosaur
Based
Ghosts on the Underground is a solid and comfy af British documentary about hauntings and ghost sightings on London’s subways.
I meant the asylum they used in Session 9, not sure why I capitalized asylum.
Asylum Blackout was also good now that I remember, it's called The Incident in some areas. Written by the dude that did Bone Tomahawk
The undisputed GOAT of anthology horror.
Speaking of which, anyone know any horror anthologies with sections between each story as good as this one? John Carpenter as the coroner is absolute kino.
My Fritt Vilt bro. Although I disagree with you on the third one being worth seeing. I never see these movies mentioned, but definitely give Cold Prey a try OP.
The Hallow
The Canal
The Loved Ones
Lovely Molly
Wailing
This was good, too. Shame that the director Laugier fucking mangled that poor actress' face, though - ruined both their careers, probably.
That’s my favorite one out of all the movies. Truly creepy
>Cemetery Man
You mean Dellamorte Dellamore? That young widow is 5 out of 7.
>Drag me to hell
Sure, if you don't mind working out the ebin tweeest early on.
Tenebrae
Some I haven't seen mentioned. My personal recs...
Exorcist 3
Kairo
Lisa and the Devil
Freaks
Rigor Mortis
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
Tenebre
Race With the Devil
Scars of Dracula
The House With Laughing Windows
Bonus documentary...Orozco The Embalmer
Good flick. Terrible poster.
Agreed.
Although I really like the last (?) segment in 1 with the Halloween house, where the guys rescue that girl? When they're trying to get out of the house, and when she disappears from the car...spooky af. And the first segment from 1 is cool, too.
Have you seen Southland, which has some of the same directors/producers? Pretty good, not great, some decent scares
Nice, it's kino. Australian silent hill
REC spanish version is one of the few horror movies that almost made me piss myself. It actually felt scary as fuck.

>the post
Based dark Song/Borderlands poster
Quatermass and the Pit is absolute kino too
IT chapter 2
Absolute dog shit taste in this thread. I sincerelly hope everyone of you gets grids and dies slow.
It's not ghosts, its muslims
>doesn't post his recs
Kys you useless twat
The Last Drive In series on Shudder is worth mentioning. It's great for Joe Bob's rants and insight into the movie productions. However, some of the episodes have been removed from Shudder, so you have to get them else where.
Unaware
Area 51
I've seen it but had completely forgotten about it, kino. Will have to rewatch and give Last Shift a go too.
The new Skinwalker documentary with Robbie Williams, US, Halloween 2018, Final Girls,
Southbound is quality.
The Awakening is probably my favourite ghost film, stands up well to repeated viewings once you know the ending.
>The Sacrament
Kino
Yeah on balance Let Us Prey is better but Last Shift is well worth a watch.
The fucking singer Robbie williams?! who was in Take That? excuse my ignorance if he shares the name with a paranormal researcher or some shit. Hey, Dan Ackroyd's crazy for UFO's and MIB type shit, so anything's possible...
The Sacrament? I know that film, I'm sure
>Maiden In Black
Do you mean the women in black? It was ok, nothing on the stage version though.
I just watched an old good bad flicks episode about ticks, looks pretty fun and has carlton and seth green in it.
Verotika
Ghost Stories was pretty good. I wasn't a fan at first but it's grown on me after thinking about it.
Oh yeah the Jonestown-esque cult film, was pretty good. Dudes did some stuff for the V/H/S series
Are you suggesting that piece of shit ironically or something?
Essentially a Jonestown film.
Yeah I said that after I IMDB'd it Cheers tho'
The scenes where the woods shift into the convenience store were fantastic. The monster was cool but man the cultists really shat the bed.
Its pure shit what are you on about
I agree
What did you guys think of You're Next?
I really like it.
>Night of the Creeps
Mah nigga!
Thrill me.
the same
I liked it but wasn't really scary.
Thought it was pretty weak. For home invasion I'd reccommend Hush. There was a comedy one last year that was ok, set at a motel/holiday house but I can't remember the name atm.
If you can stand some overacting and shitty sound mixing The Keep is kino.
I liked As Above, So Below. Good movie and I would love to see a series revolving around pic related's horror adventures.
Holy shit
Loved it. Starring Mrs. Shaun Carruth, Amy Seimetz, too
My man, The Keep is fucking KINO. Scott Colby, Ian McKellan, directed by Michael Mann, spooky McGuffin shenanigans with Nazi's and partisans..what more could you want?! I have a real soft spot for that film, gonna re-watch, thanks for reminding me fella
Pretty good found footage desu family
No your my man, gonna rewatch it now too. The soundtrack by Tangerine Dream is so fucking good and fits perfect.
Fucking THIS!
Watched it after my younger brother suggested it. Didn't get very far, was disappointed to learn he's a pleb.
My Bloody Valentine (80’s version)
Fair. It was pretty good in the woods though.
Based Tangerine Dream too! I forgot about that shit! Enjoy brethren
Then it must be really disappointing to learn that it was you who was the pleb all along.
Dream Master and Jason Takes Manhattan are slept on and each among the best of their respective franchises. People only dislike JtM because it doesn't have much to do with Manhattan, which is an understandable result of the studio's jewery and should be taken into account when watching the film now that said info is available. Expectations based on a title are retarded anyway. People have no excuse with not liking Dream Master.
The acting, story, atmosphere were all shit I'm afraid. Nothing redeemable about it.
>didn't get very far
>thinks his opinion matters
Yeah I'm gonna go with pleb on this one
this movie scarred me.
first time i flew on a plane this movie was all i could think about.
total terror the whole flight
Watch Wake in Fright
It's about the horror of Australian culture.
Translators note: Australian culture means drinking.
Based.
>no one has said anything about Lucio Fulci ...
nu/tv/ is fucking gay as fuck and normie tier
i love that lead actress in As Above So Below, wish she was in more stuff.
was a great movie that envoked real terror into the avid viewer.
very good film and based on some real occult facts of the world.
Other gialli were mentioned. If you wanted Fulci films to be recced rec them yourself dude.
It's streaming for free with ads on tubi.
My Halloween choices for this October:
Creepshow
Re-Animator
Fright Night 1 & 2
The Craft
Hack-o-Lantern
Night of the Demons II
Hauntedween
Wacko
Dark Night of the Scarecrow
Spooky Encounters
Midnight Hour
I expect people already seen Fulci kino already. If not, plebs. The Beyond, Zombie Flesh Eaters and New York Ripper is a must.
>seething brainlet
REC 2 is worth watching
See No Evil & The Hills Have Eyes
>horror film has great first half
>just turns into a haunted house ride in the second
What's her name lads
How the fucking hell didn't I know about this??
What's the video from?
>tfw
Beep beep, make way, underrated horror kino, coming through!
>dat odd as fuck score
Was this jarring for anyone else?
Fuck Jean Rollin, so boring.
Divorce lawyers hate him!
That movie had the hottest girl ever
The shifting tone and variety of music is really great. The music is jarring in just the right scenes. There's quite a bit of dark humor in the movie.
Do you mean the new movie Freaks
Every guy with an incessantly nagging wife has thought about feeding her to a monster at least once during the marriage.
Is this the French zombie film? If so it was pretty good, who doesn't like frogs getting rekt. But eventually the decision making got stupid.
Nevermind, googled it. Looks good.
my favorites are
Martyrs
Hush
The Ring/Ringu
Calvaire
Inside
Hausu
Kairo
A tale of two sisters
The Witch
It follows
Hellhouse LLC
Henry Portrait of a serial killer
In extremis
We are the flesh
Grave encounters
The skeleton key
all i can think of at the moment, probably a lot have already been listed.
I like your style, mane.
that was the scariest shit i ever saw as a little kid. i couldn't fucking sleep alone for weeks
The possession.
It's the only good scene in the movie.
Phase IV is such a great low budget Sci-fi Horror film.
Excellent micro-photography of the ants.
The original extended ending sequence is awesome.
Definitely
Based
Ohhh good rec, man. Fucking based film. Can't think of much else like it. Kino.
Indeed. As above, so below. One of the best horror found footage of recent years
Any love for The Banshee Chapter, speaking of found footage horror? Creeped me the fuck out
Nightbreed.
Speaking of French horror, what about Raw, the cannibal film? Laurent Lucas, absolute kino, disturbing as fuck
>mfw REC became an inner joke between me and my friend and whenever we were using a camera filming or taking photos we'd call each other Pablo
That movie is fucking good.
I saw Banshee Chapter after a bunch of recommendations and thought it was fucking boring. Boring as in actually boring, not It Follows aesthetic/comfy kind of boring.
Is Banshee Chapter the one with the numbers station? I was disappointed with the movie, but I fucking LOVE the idea of creepy numbers stations. They give me the same feeling that the setting in The Chernobyl Diaries gave me.
I recently got netflix and most of the horror selection looks like straight to video garbage. Any actually good films there and what would you compare them to?
Yeah? Well, I'm not mad, if that's how you feel that's how you feel. Glad you mentioned It Follows, though. I'd say it's more slow paced than boring but great all the same.
Yeah that's the one. I didn't like the blatant Hunter S. Thompson character but it legitimately spooked me, the numbers stations and the DMT experimentation shit. You're right, numbers stations are fucking sooo fascinating and creepy
>what about Raw, the cannibal film?
Stupidly, ridiculously hot.
Scream and its sequels are good. The first one manages to work more effectively than almost any other slasher on top of having fun tongue-in-cheek elements.
I was tricked into watching this "horror" film.
Don't be a retard like me, anons. It's not scary. It's not unsettling. It's not interesting.
And FUCK jay bauman for recommending it.
I thought it sucked. It plays around with analogy and symbolism in the most hamfisted way, and I couldn't get over the fact that her craving for human flesh is brought on by eating meat for the first time. Like, how does a grown woman manage to go her entire life without even accidentally eating some meat?
Btw pretty sure I've not seen The Chernobyl Diaries, is it any good?
I always forget the name of that actor, the guy who played Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs (now THERE's a fucking horror film)? He's been in so much stuff, what was the recent ish horror he was in as the spooky sheriff? Forgot the name, it was good, though
Lmao
Not my kink, but kino
The last two movies that legit spooked me were Lake Mungo and Hereditary.
I unironically liked Area 51. It's exactly what I wanted and expected out of a found footage movie about sneaking into Area 51 and I was not disappointed.
Aww that's just a lot hole, and an unimportant one at that. it's the visceral nature of the film that really got to me. She's brought up as a veggie from childhood precisely so she WON'T be afflicted by the family curse
The Chernobyl Diaries is just okay. Lots of lost potential. Decent build up, but then when shit starts going down, it kind of loses steam. I still enjoy it for what it did right, plus that setting is so goddamn good.
agree with this assessment. Was a bit disappointed but I guess it's cool anyway.
Lake Mungo is spooky, Hereditary was...okay. In terms of contemporaneous horror I preferred The Witch--can't wait to see The Lighthouse. Ari Aster is a tad over-rated imho
So, is it at least worth a watch, then?
Someone recommended Skinwalker Ranch to me the other day and I'd just like to say fuck you and I want my Monday evening back.
>She's brought up as a veggie from childhood precisely so she WON'T be afflicted by the family curse
Right, but she never got tempted by a hot dog or something when she was out with friends as a kid? Furthermore, does it apply to all meats? What if she ate a pork rind?
I know, I'm nitpicking, but I really thought the movie was so full of itself. Seems like the director was very convinced that the movie she was making was very clever and contained important social commentary, but really, it was garbage.
Isn't that gremlin fucking huge?
>Hereditary was...okay. In terms of contemporaneous horror I preferred The Witch--can't wait to see The Lighthouse. Ari Aster is a tad over-rated imho
fucking thank you. The Witch is so good and Aster's movies are just well made memes.
Why'd ya spill yer beans?
I've seen scream 1-3 but not in a long time so I could do with a rewatch. I'm more looking to see if there are any decent hidden gems amongst the netflix list
I can't even find it anywhere
You hated it that much? I dunno, I thought it had that Gallic j'ne cais quoi that works so wel in their horror flicks
Yeah, to use a cliche, they're just so much...meh. His last was better than hereditary but that's not even saying that much (Midsommar). They are pretty fucking meme-er-riffick, come to think of it
Is this a quote I've forgotten/missed? Don't make me hang my head in shame!
Don't do it to yourself, trust me.
Sweet Movie
>Is this a quote I've forgotten/missed? Don't make me hang my head in shame!
Literally in the trailer m8
Meant to add, The Witch is fucking brilliant, the performances, cinematography, atmosphere...it really harks back to prime 60's/70's "art" horror but with a modern twist...and it is legitimately fucking haunting. I like how the decision was made that the witches were actually REAL, and not "it's a dream/none of it happened" or some sleight of hand crap...the film is so good that it can utterly sustain that suspension of disbelief all the way through. That scene with the eldest brother dying, when he spits out the apple and prays all that stuff?! Fucking SO affecting and thematically incredible
The trailer to what?!?! You're killin' me, fren'! Ohh you mean The Lighthouse, reet?!
just throwing out my generic Yellowbrickroad suggestion when I see these threads
You'll likely love it or hate it. I'd suggest going into it blind if possible, not even google image search. It doesn't have any big twist or anything really, but the building atmosphere is favored heavily if you don't know what happens next.
>That scene with the eldest brother dying,
Absolutely incredible, that kid did an amazing job, and the direction was perfect, when the two kids fall down squirming and the dad yells Damnation, jesus christ.
I agree with the rest of what you said too, it works so well because it just plays Protestant(calvinist?) theology straight. There is god, and there is the devil, and there are witches, and that's just the entire metaphysical setup, which works way better than inventing random bullshit, or making it psychological or whatever.
Haven't watched it in a while so I can't remember everything that was good, but as you say the acting, the cinematography and direction, the perfect dialogue and setting and the realistic set pieces, the subtle then explosive pacing, the score, the internal drama of the family unravelling and the themes of losing innocence, of pride and sin in general, and the general malignant presence of evil that pervades the entire movie because the fucking devil is living with them.
The whole climax of the movie is just unreal after a kind of slow and tense leadup. there were like 5 times in a row I couldnt believe the shit he thought up. The goat killing the dad, the mother going insane on the girl, the raven eating her breast, when the goat speaks, when she floats up.
The movie completely transcends the horror genre imo, though it's not quite my favorite horror.
God this movie was shit. One step above Toad Road.
Please don't insult an okay movie by comparing it to Toad Road. At least yellowbrickroad has a coherent narrative. Toad Road is just DUDE DRUGS LMAO LETS PUT ALL THE SCENES IN RANDOM ORDER.
The remake is good too.
What's it like?
Stitches
youtu.be
Hush and You're Next are peak home invasion kino.
The entire film is in first person POV from the killer's perspective which is pretty unique and makes it its own thing despite being a remake. Also the killer is Elijah Wood kek.
>Ohh you mean The Lighthouse, reet?!
Yes
Pretty amazing stuff. Elijah Woods kills it.
I've never been able to get a [Rec] thread off the ground really.
First one is fantastic. Set the benchmark for found footage.
Second is pretty good. More of the same really.
Third one is some fucking retarded horror comedy because the co-director's of the first two split up. I'd say avoid it but honestly you kind of have to see it to realise how fucking bad it is.
Fourth one is alright I guess.
2 & 3 i remember had a nice amount of nudity, didn't it?
they were my good
Thoughts on Black Mountain Side?
It's a solid 8/10 for me. Some side plots that don't really mean anything in the end but ultimately a creepy movie with a good payoff. Clearly heavily influenced by The Thing.
If you're going to watch it, I'd say go in completely blind.
If you're a fan of Horror anthologies you might wanna check this out if you haven't already. It's low-budget as fuck, but also grim and brutal as fuck which was rare for a Horror anthology from this era. Vincent Price stars in the wraparound story and even he disowned this film for how nasty it was.
What are some watchable movies you chucked on expecting to be trash that surprised you?

I thought I'd love this movie based on the description and setting, but it just didn't work for me. Nothing ever really caught my attention.
This movie is fucking radical
If you want somethin to keep you up at night, watch teeth. Gal has teeth in her vaj and performs really violent circumcisions (as you can imagine).
Not a good movie, but its disturbing
Know what would be dope? A movie sort of similar but with the demons actually helping the conjuror instead of tormenting them.

The Jackhammer Massacre
h-hey, want me to get you a napkin for that?
There aren't enough adventure/horror combos out there.
Body Bags is kind of a nice find, not super rare but it's decent and might be hard to find a torrent for it.
Thanks man. Allergy season ya know
why would you need to when its free on youtube?

Bug and killer Joe
aw dude I forgot that had Mark Hamill with a mustache in it
Just watched the Tunnel tonight, nice, tight little film. A few flaws, but overall one of the best found footage films I've seen.
I didn't much care for [REC], this is what I'd hoped it'd be. More mystery, more use of night vision for unusual imagery.
Apostle sucks, Ritual is much better.
The Witch, Wickerman (original), Kill list, Troll Hunter, universal monsters films, The Bay, Midnight Meat Train, Krampus and Fright Night (original).
Anyone have good spooky documentaries? I’d prefer ones about cryptids/monsters but others are fine too
Unironically I enjoyed Demon House, it depends on if you're annoyed by Zak Bagans' personality or not but if you like Ghost Adventures it's that but way better.
The docs by Small Town Monsters are fun, Invasion on Chestnut Ridge is probably the coolest one. If you like cryptids check these out.
The second Missing 411 documentary Missing 411: The Hunted is spooky.
The Legend of Boggy Creek is kind of a documentary/anthology hybrid, it's really low budget and kind of slow but it's soulful. I would highly recommend seeing if the Last Drive In with Joe Bob Briggs version is still up anywhere or if you can track it down.
Not the guy you responded to, but I generally like Ghost Adventures and I thought Demon House fucking sucked. It was like the first 20 or so minutes of a Ghost Adventures episode stretched out to 100 minutes, bad re-enactments and all. Maybe some weird stuff really happened there at some point, but what Zak ultimately got out of his investigation wasn't enough to justify making an almost 2 hour documentary.
The Small Town Monsters and Missing 411 documentaries are really cool though and definitely worth watching.
Maybe I was just in the exact right mood but Demon House worked for me. The only thing I didn't really like was the stuff in the hotel was kind of stupid.
i like the hoity-toity psychological horror, but my preference is for creature feature stuff. what are some good straight up monster movies?
You mean like The Mummy movies? Check out Deep Rising if you haven't, also directed by Stephen Sommers.
Terrorvision
Thanks TV :) I'm adding all these film suggestions to a list an me and my gf are going to watch some in bed all comfy with hot cocoa
Rec 2 is 10/10 you fucking mong
The Blob and its remake
The Thing (psychological but still plenty of gooey monster effects)
Monster Squad
From Dusk Till Dawn
Fright Night (it takes a while to really get going but the vampire and werewolf transformations are great)
Spookies (only really worth it for the monsters)
It has
>Jeffrey Combs and Lance Henriksen in elevated cameos as hunters that get wrecked by bigfoot
>a guy getting his face bit off by bigfoot
>bigfoot getting rammed into a tree with a car
It's easily one of the only good bigfoot movies. Maybe the best? I'd rate it higher than Exists and Willow Creek. Definitely check it out if you want just a nuts and bolts monster movie.
Eight Legged Freaks is fun and often overlooked, it's kind of a throwback to 50s drive in thrillers like THEM! worth checking out if you like town under attack stuff like Tremors
The Relic is Alien in a museum sorta
Digging Up the Marrow is an interesting found footage with really unique monster designs. Worth checking out if you want something made by a horror fanboy.
seen that; liked it
Day of the Dead one of the best zombie movies ever made. Great effects and not just for the time there great for today's standards.
It's probably my favorite in the genre, great use of the setting and the best human villain in the genre.
thanks
eight legged freaks is awesome; doesn't seem like there's many spider-centric horror movies in general, or at least lately
I think it's probably risky to make a spider movie since a lot of people will get turned off at the idea of even watching it. I can get most of my family to watch about anything but my mom and sister outright refuse to watch Eight Legged Freaks even knowing it's pretty campy.
i literally just saw this earlier today
everything before the last 5 minutes is a masterpiece
ending is predictable but not "bad"
Gerald’s Game
You're Next!
Criminally underrated
Late Phases
I wouldn't say it's underrated, it gets it's props. Prince of Darkness is more overlooked in the trilogy.
I was watching that movie and my roommate came home with some of his friends right before the kangaroo hunt. They all just looked at me with disgust
Your fault for jerking off in the living room again
So what are the rumours about the 3d installment, is it still actual?
I haven't been caught doing that yet
Is Haxan a good silent film? Might buy the CC but ive never heard of it
>October
Are you ready for what's coming?
The only good silent horror movie is The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and it's not even that great.
I don't see it as such myself outside of elements of its aesthetic presentation but Phantom of the Paradise is seen as a horror film and it's great.
I'd definitely say it's horror though I don't really care that much for it compared to it's fervent fanbase
Here's some not mentioned so far:
The Void
Crawl
I Married a Monster from Outer Space(seriously it's good)
Creature from the Black Lagoon
The Red Spectacles
Probably a retarded question but while I understand its director didn't make anything related to it, does it require any knowledge from other films to fully enjoy it?
>Creature from the Black Lagoon
desu I'd just jump straight to hammer horror if you're going to watch universal monsters
