budgie 09.05.19	helppp meee i cant find anything ahhhh im dyiingggg
sixdegrees 09.05.19	a tale of two sisters
budgie 09.05.19	ooho i think i saw the american remake of that one
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	U done seen misommar yet
budgie 09.05.19	NO i didn't really care for hereditary so idk. i will see it when i can rent it online though . did u see it
sixdegrees 09.05.19	hmm...the original is definitely worth seeing though I dont know how much it diverges from the remake, have yet to see that
Faraudo 09.05.19	The Eyes of my Mother is one hell of a ride.
budgie 09.05.19	i just put on sleep away camp II but keep the recs comin. horror has been dry lately ddry dry dry dry dry dry dry dry dry dry dry. and 2019 has been a terrible year
Thalassic 09.05.19	Are actually scary/creepy horror movies still being made?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Yeah it’s a LOT better than hereditary, and definitely one of my favourite horrors in the last decade
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Also I watched black coat daughter btw it was amazing.
budgie 09.05.19	nice!! you saw about oz perkins' next film? gretel & hansel. @thalassic, past 12 years or so has probably been the best for actually creepy films
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Just looking into it now. I didn’t like I am the pretty thing anywhere near as much as blackcoat tho, curious about ur thoughts on it
budgie 09.05.19	took me ages before i decided to watch it because i already knew it was a nothing-happens experiment in atmosphere. when i was finally in the mood for a super super slow burn i went for it and really did enjoy it. but man that's a kind of film you really have to be in the mood for. still like blackcoat's daughter more of course, that film is probably going to overtake the original scream for my all time fav
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Yeah word I get that. I enjoyed it too but could see how someone would hate it for its sparsity and minimalism and feel a bit befuddled with it after blackcoat.
TheNotrap 09.05.19	Carpenter's Prince of Darkness
budgie 09.05.19	Sleep away camp II is great so far BTW. I don't think I've seen that one notrap!
Thalassic 09.05.19	Oh yeah Prince of Darkness is a good one
budgie 09.05.19	"What are you looking for, a gun?" *rolls eyes* "No.... a drill!" Whirrrrrrrrrr!
Deathconscious 09.05.19	Im sure youve already seen It Follows.
Thalassic 09.05.19	"This is not a dream. Not a dream. We are using your brain's electrical system as a receiver. We are unable to transmit through conscious neural interference. You are receiving this broadcast as a dream. We are transmitting from the year one-nine-nine-nine. You are receiving this broadcast in order to alter the events you are seeing. Our technology has not developed a transmitter strong enough to reach your conscious state of awareness. But this is not a dream. You are seeing what is actually occurring for the purpose of causality violation. This broadcast will be received by the perceptual centers as a dream. But this is not a dream."
budgie 09.05.19	Yea I'm a big fan of it follows. Wish it had a stronger ending though
mifzal 09.05.19	noroi the curse
Deathconscious 09.05.19	I thought the ending was great, it capitalized on that feeling of paranoia throughout the film.
TheNotrap 09.05.19	That creepy message is a classic Thalassic
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	Mulholland drive (2001) 28 days, 28 weeks (2002, 2007) The fly (1986) Rec (2007) It comes at night (2017) The babadook (2014) The thing (1982) Life (2017) A quiet place (2018) I assume you've seen most of these. If you have not, trust me and watch them.
Deathconscious 09.05.19	28 weeks kinda sucked.
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	It was almost as good as the original, imo
budgie 09.05.19	Haven't seen mulholland dr or it comes at night. I though they were thriller, not horror? Imo 28 weeks is super fun . Not as good as 28 but super fun
NorwichScene 09.05.19	Brightburn
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	They are both considered horror movies but it's not horror with jump scares, etc Which is great, tbh
InFlamesWeThrash666 09.05.19	Us (2019) is pretty cool
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	"Are actually scary/creepy horror movies still being made?" Of course they are, but its hard to find any originality
BAT 09.05.19	dead & buried
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	Also, Budgie, if you're into series, watch The Haunting of Hill House. I can't it recommended enough.
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	Us (2019) is pretty cool It's a bit tad overrated. The previous film they made (Get Out) was way better.
budgie 09.05.19	i was actually super bummed with us! think i gave a 1.5 or something on letterboxd, lol. really liked haunting of hill house but the ending was a little safe and boring maybe.
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	Has anyone seen Midsommar? is it good?
BigBlob 09.05.19	saw it couple weeks back in the cinema. fantastic atmosphere and all that.... but I dunno. some of it was really, really stupid. and other times it felt like a wicker man remake. for me a 3/5
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	wait, which version of the wicker man? because the one they made in the 70's was great movie
budgie 09.05.19	excited about that wickerman constant. original is a perfect 5/5 for me I loooove it
BigBlob 09.05.19	yeh the original is a classic. but you will see what I mean. Midsommar is pretty much a reimagining of it imo
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	"Midsommar is pretty much a reimagining of it imo" as long as it doesn't have any mentioning of THE FUCKING BEES, i'm ok with it
BigBlob 09.05.19	the nic cage one is actually one of the worst films I've ever seen. its not even good bad. its just soooo fking boring
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	that bear scene though was such an instant classic
BigBlob 09.05.19	although saying that. I've not yet seen Mandy, but its meant to be good.
unclereich 09.05.19	the kill list
rockandmetaljunkie 09.05.19	@Budgie, you've seen Annihilation? with Nat Portman? another great horror film. And a very smart movie too.
BigBlob 09.05.19	kill list also goes full wickerman at the end lol
unclereich 09.05.19	I would say Us and annihilation are both below average, if not just bad movies
budgie 09.05.19	i didn't really like annihilation, i think adolfchrist really digs it though, maybe it was someone else. kill list is fuckin awesome blob!
budgie 09.05.19	are you talking about the kill list or kill list? I'm thinking about the English film about the cult
BigBlob 09.05.19	yeh I liked Kill List. dunno how, but they managed to give that film this amazing sense of dread. another horror thats worth a watch is Antichrist. its a ‎Lars von Trier film so..... yeh you will either love it or think its the biggest POS ever
BigBlob 09.05.19	british film kill list
budgie 09.05.19	antichrist i haven't gotten around to. read something about a dick being chopped up and think it's been on the very bottom of my 'to watch' list since, lol. i love the evil cult/secret society type films like kill list, really creeps me out. other good ones that scratch that itch: the conspiracy, pledge
Thalassic 09.05.19	Kill List is great Neil Maskell's acting is terrific in that movie
GhandhiLion 09.05.19	The Brood
ArsMoriendi 09.05.19	Birdemic: Shock and Terror
butt. 09.05.19	fucking love all the sleepaway movies. the fourth one (return to sleepaway camp) is so unbelievably bad. yet so good. Seeing IT 2 today so I'm stoked for that
unclereich 09.05.19	Manic w/elijah wood was better than expected
ramon. 09.05.19	Midsommar is my favourite campy horror of recent times. Has a lot of unresolved subplots and whack pacing (likely due to it being cut from what was originally a 4 hour film) but it's thoroughly entertaining throughout afaic. Don't get the idea it's meant to be taken anywhere near as seriously as Hereditary. If you want a funky psychedelic break up movie featuring black Hugo weaving and the son of Rambo give it a peep.
butt. 09.05.19	also jumping on the Kill List train. That's a wild ride, haven't seen it in years tho
fogza 09.05.19	The descent.
Hendoi 09.05.19	hellboy 2019 scary
budgie 09.05.19	my take: the descent is average, barely. i have no clue how that movie gets as much divine praise as it does among horror fans, it's bizarre
JoeTex 09.05.19	ur next
butt. 09.05.19	aw hell yeah
CaimanJesus 09.05.19	Leprechaun: In the hood
budgie 09.05.19	i dont like to watch torture porn stuff darius ur next is amazin
BAT 09.05.19	'terrifier' was surprisingly solid, similar vein as grindhouse revival stuff like hobo with a shotgun and planet terror
Source 09.05.19	budgie did you ever watch deep rising
budgie 09.05.19	noo.... it looks so goofy
Source 09.05.19	It is that's why it rules
budgie 09.05.19	alright i will dl it for tonight. but a lot of 90s horror is a total miss for me. i don't even care for in the mouth of madness or event horizon
Source 09.05.19	Yeah i don't care for In the Mouth of Madness either but I like Event Horizon a lot. Wish they would have released the fabled extended version
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	I checked that apostle movie with dan Stevens on netflix recently and it was entertaining. So was the ritual as far as Netflix stuff go
Rev 09.05.19	One Cut of the Dead, The Love Witch, Midori, Human Lanterns, Climax, Under the Skin, Possession, From Beyond
robertsona 09.05.19	Possession (1981)
Rev 09.05.19	ayyyyyy
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Under the skin is got tier
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Also just watched the house that jack built recently that was good
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Under the skin really utilized johannson well by having her not speak and just be her naturally wooden self
butt. 09.05.19	terrifier is amazing but mostly just for the one scene.....with the girl....you know the one
BAT 09.05.19	suuush don't spoil it, excellent movie to watch with a group lol
Thalassic 09.05.19	Lol that Terrifier scene was ridiculous Movie sucked imho
BAT 09.05.19	ehh, 'solid.' super stupid and formulaic for sure
budgie 09.05.19	i only saw that clown in the all hallow's eve? movies. terrifier looks awful but i will probably get around to it idk if i really like the mock snuff type films
BAT 09.05.19	haven't seen the previous ones buuut to my knowledge its the same crew/actors. its pretty much just some chicks stuck at a warehouse while the clown kills them, for some shit a friend randomly threw on i was expecting waaaay worse. on another note a pretty solid slasher i saw recently was 'butcher, baker, nightmare maker'
budgie 09.05.19	"The Love Witch" this movie pissed me off so much, lol @lorde i only liked apostle for lucy boynton, the rest of the film seemed too drawn out and idk.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Yeah I mean it had some cool visuals going on and some nice graphic scenes, good for Netflix, not something I'll remember long tho
budgie 09.05.19	the drill execution scene was pretty brutal
wham49 09.05.19	Graduation day
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Yeah poor fucking guy did not deserve that haha
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Honestly tho you've seen most everything good that I've seen other than midsommar and I'm very excited to hear your takes on that
budgie 09.05.19	have you seen scary stories to tell in the dark?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	No but I want to, you?
budgie 09.05.19	nah i haven't even read any reviews. hoping so much that it turns out to be awesome
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	With Guillermo Del Toro it could really go either way but I'm hoping it's great too
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	I was also excited to peep brightburn but I've been hearing mostly bad things
brainmelter 09.05.19	Midsommar was good but a disappointing follow up imo
tectactoe 09.05.19	Some of my favorite "horror" and "horror-ish" films: *Freaks (Browning, 1932) *Vampyr (Dreyer, 1932) *Cat People (Tourneur, 1942) *I Walked with a Zombie (Tourneur, 1943) *Diabolique (Clouzot, 1955) *Eyes Without a Face (Franju, 1960) *Peeping Tom (Powell, 1960) *Psycho (Hitchcock, 1960) *Repulsion (Polanski, 1965) *Rosemary's Baby (Polanski, 1968) *Vampir-Cuadecuc (Portabella, 1971) *The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Hooper, 1974) *Eraserhead (Lynch, 1977) *Dead Ringers (Cronenberg, 1988) *The Blair Witch Project (Myrick, 1999) *It Comes at Night (Shults, 2017) *mother! (Aronofsky, 2017)
butt. 09.05.19	I saw scary stories, it was fun. good halloween spirit and all that, kinda like a more adult version of goosebumps
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Midsommar shat all over hereditary in every way possible and completely outdid it on all fronts
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Mother was awesome, it comes at night was pretty forgettable
butt. 09.05.19	yup absolutely not. Hereditary was more coherent and far more "horror" than Midsommar. Love both movies, but Hereditary will be more remembered
butt. 09.05.19	oh and the acting. don't get me wrong, acting was great in both movies, but toni collette's performance is practically unbeatable
Sinternet 09.05.19	The shining and original wicker man are the best horrors ever don't @ me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Lol hereditary coherent? Movie is overrated and aside from atmospheric qualities is something that has been done a hundred times over.
butt. 09.05.19	wicker man is great but I would put the thing above it
butt. 09.05.19	what was incoherent about it?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	The transition into the final act was so jarring it almost ruined the entire movie
butt. 09.05.19	I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Hereditary isnt even close to the best atmospheric horror at that, while midsommar is absolutely bonkers and psychedelic in a way I've never experienced before
DungeonBoy 09.05.19	Midsommar is smoother in that regard agreed. Both were excellent though! Hereditary was the reason I was so stoked for Midsommar. Still the only movie i've seen in the theater this year though :/
butt. 09.05.19	yeah it is bonkers and psychedelic, but that doesn't automatically make it better than Hereditary. They're very different, so it's almost not even fair to compare honestly
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Hereditary sacrificed it's own parable in the third act for hamfisted imagery, a mistake midsommar rectified
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	The meaning of heriditary was undermined by its direction while midsommars was underlined by it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	From a cinematography perspective midsommar was unheard of for horror, lucid colors and broad daylight utilized in a subversive manner
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	That movie was a stroke of genius, heriditary ran out of paint
robertsona 09.05.19	I walked with a zombie is definitely dope
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Torture porn shit is subhuman
butt. 09.05.19	lol no, it's dumb but entertaining. for me at least
JeetJeet 09.05.19	THE WAILING
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Unless it's in the odd case where there is a thought provoking statement to it, its trash
brainmelter 09.05.19	Idk while unique, the blinding light cinematography seemed pretty gimmicky to me after a while. Comparatively the movie was very different but it hit a lot of similar places for me (crazy cults, crumbling relationship dynamics, they all end up fucked at end due to unavoidable circumstances orchestrated by cult from the very beginning, etc) but don’t get me wrong ari aster is a great filmmaker and I love the shot composition in the movie but I left with everything I needed to see after a first viewing. Things were presented way more at face value, where as repeated viewings of Hereditary were rewarding. It was surprisingly predictable too in a lot of aspects, for example I knew the friend was going to Wicker Man them from the first 15 minutes Yeah the end of Heridtary was a bit ham fisted but that orgy scene towards the end midsommar felt so trying and edgy ‘hERes nAKed PEopLe, aRenT yOu uComfOrtabLE??’ Edit: the wailing rules
Thalassic 09.05.19	The original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is still completely unfuckwithable in my book
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Because decapitating a retarded child 20 minutes into a film isnt edgy
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Midsommar didnt do anything just to be edgy it was all to set the smothering persistent discomfort that movies like mother! Succeeded in
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	U were meant to feel the disorientation of the characters and all the gratuity helped build that effect
brainmelter 09.05.19	I’m not saying hereditary didn’t have its fair share of edge (and naked people) but it felt a little more nuanced the first time around. Call me crazy but I think midsommar really lacked subtlety
budgie 09.05.19	"lucid colors and broad daylight utilized in a subversive manner" since we've had the wickerman mentioned, isn't the wickerman famous for this as well?
brainmelter 09.05.19	I get it was going for that effect, the trippy sequences and the suffocation while simultaneously being so isolated. I saw the movie Climax earlier this year and in comparison the drug induced parts felt lesser
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Yeah it lacked subtlety but it never was going for that, hereditary tried to maintain subtlety like its life depended on it and then completely butchered it at the end
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	And sure they are different films with different influence but I'd say midsommar outdid its predecessors while hereditary was outdone before it even came out
budgie 09.05.19	i've said this i think in other horror threads but because we're on the topic, what's the crazy love for toni collette's performance? the acting across the board in hereditary took me out of the film and was a major reason why i didn't come out of the experience with any positive impressions. she was unrealistically unhinged, i don't know, and the kid constantly crying at everything. only the father seemed like an actual human. but i keep reading people loving toni collette's performance so maybe it's just all over my head.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Agreed, toni was alright comparatively but damn that boy fucking sucked especially
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Meanwhile in midsommar this absolute nobody chick is firing on all cylinders giving me LIFE
butt. 09.05.19	I think about moments like her reaction to finding her dead daughter - probably one of the most gut-wrenching and miserably realistic performances I've seen - and the scene when she was standing at the foot of her son's bed in the middle of the night
Thalassic 09.05.19	That classroom scene in Hereditary when that guy smashes his nose on the table cracks me up tbh
butt. 09.05.19	I agree the boy in hereditary was the weakest link, especially his crying. but Toni stills runs circles around the chick in midsommar. The scene in the beginning with the car fumes, her crying, etc, was super well done but it felt like a less effective version of Charlie's death in hereditary.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Ari is great at directing women in utter anguish and misery that's for sure
butt. 09.05.19	yes, dude knows how to write and direct pure agony
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Dude the car fumes wailing was absolutely haunting, as was her absolute shock in her frumpy flower dress near the end lmao
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Car fume and decap reaction scenes are definitely comparable tho and were absolutely heart wrenching in both
butt. 09.05.19	yeah for sure car fumes scene was incredible, but like I said, we just saw him go for the same effect last year and this felt like a rehash but one small step down
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Sure it may have been a rehash to some extent but I saw both in theaters and I will say the car fumes one made me even more uncomfortable and weary of the rest of the film
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Like it made me want to walk out it hurt so bad. But the context I found especially sympathetic compared to the decap
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Speaking if unnerving anguish, I always find the scene in the lobster where the chick jumps out the window and is suffering in the background to be super disturbing and unsettling lol
budgie 09.05.19	have you guys seen excision? the very ending scene has the most chilling scream, ahhhhh! emotion overload kiernan shipka in BCD just rocks my world though. favorite performance, got to be.
butt. 09.05.19	not a huge fan of excision. often felt like it was just being weird and gross for the sake of being weird and gross
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Best scream ever will always be laura palmer in the red room tho
Sinternet 09.05.19	best scream ever is when i made pots' mum climax harder than a 30 minute swans track
Rev 09.05.19	best part of midsommar was chidi, also the haxan cloak score *chef's kiss
budgie 09.05.19	" often felt like it was just being weird and gross for the sake of being weird and gross" ya i don't really love the film and ya it's pretty much just weird and gross. but the ending scream just ruined me. poor girl.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.05.19	Lol chidi was one of the worst performances
Uzumaki 09.05.19	Damn, Jeet beat me to “The Wailing”. Def watch that, it’s good. Also, check “Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum”. Budgie, what’s your Letterboxd name? I’m there too, I’ll follow you.
BAT 09.05.19	Anyone seen 'blood diner'
budgie 09.05.19	here uzu: https://letterboxd.com/carnute/
DungeonBoy 09.05.19	dude yes, blood diner is incredible.
Faraudo 09.05.19	"THE WAILING" Thank u Jeet, I was waiting for someone to mention this movie.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	Just watched the gretel and hansel trailer looks lit
samwise2000 09.06.19	Just watch Scream, a classic
budgie 09.06.19	i have seen scream 500 times should probably rewatch it soon though
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	the lighthouse also looks amazing
budgie 09.06.19	we wouldnt ignore him if he didnt say such retard shit
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	did u like antichrist budgie
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	also people been mentioning The Wailing, I couldn't even finish that movie. Couldn't find a single thing to like about it. But I haven't really found much to enjoy in korean and japanese horror in general yet tbh.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	don't know why this just popped into my head and its not a conventional horror by any means whatsoever but A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is amazing
budgie 09.06.19	i dont think im going to watch antichrist gonna put on sleepaway camp III tonight, II was soooooooooooooo good. and will look for a torrent for uhhhhhh . deep rising
ramon. 09.06.19	i'm probably more excited for the director's cut of midsommar than any movie that isn't the lighthouse coming out this year
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	ah you havent seen it. why the aversion?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	given some of your tastes antichrist seems like something you'd really enjoy so i'm curious
budgie 09.06.19	"antichrist i haven't gotten around to. read something about a dick being chopped up and think it's been on the very bottom of my 'to watch' list since, lol. "
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	no dicks get chopped up. there are two very brief graphic scenes, one involving willems peepee and one involving a vagina but thats it.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	im not about gratuitous gore, torture porn, and genital mutilation like the homedog darius and ive seen the movie about 4 times. people exaggerate.
budgie 09.06.19	hmmmmm roger that. will consider it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	It's a beautiful atmospheric slow burner more than anything. The discomfort of the very brief scene in question is well worth the experience
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	Cinematography and imagery is glorious in a Witch/Valhalla Rising kinda way
Uzumaki 09.06.19	@budgie, thanks man. Followed.
Minushuman24 09.06.19	She Demons. And Allucarda.
Gyromania 09.06.19	Wouldn't exactly call Midsommar a horror
Gyromania 09.06.19	Also wouldn't call it horror per se but the house that jack built is amazing. Going to see IT pt 2 tomorrow
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.06.19	Fuck off
GhostB1rd 09.06.19	Did you die?
budgie 09.06.19	ya am zopmbie now braaaaains
Risodo 09.06.19	Babadook is a great experience. No jump scares, no cliches, just a "underdog" in the genre.
Gyromania 09.06.19	Yeah Babadook is a decade contender, one of my faves for sure
Divaman 09.06.19	How about Drag Me to Hell? Not saying it's the greatest horror film of all time, but it is a fun, solid little movie.
budgie 09.06.19	i've seen it a handful of times and always want to like it more than i actually do. idk why it falls kinda flat for me, i love all the evil dead films
budgie 09.06.19	ah am putting on invasion of the body snatchers never seen! ! ! !!1 ';,,;'
brainmelter 09.06.19	so hyped for the lighthouse
Thalassic 09.06.19	I didn't like Drag Me to Hell either. It felt a bit flaccid tbh. Lacked some cojones. I'm curious about The Lighthouse. 10 years ago I wouldn't have thought Pattinson would actually go on to become a legit actor. He was on fire in that movie Good Time as well.
butt. 09.06.19	Just saw IT 2 last night. Great movie. Very long, but very great. Stoked for The Lighthouse
unclereich 09.06.19	I see this is almost at 200 comments, graham cracker pots must have shown up
Uzumaki 09.06.19	Ooh. Both versions of the film (50's original and 70's remake) are really good. Enjoy!
butt. 09.06.19	what are you referring to
Uzumaki 09.06.19	Sorry, referring to budgie's watching of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
butt. 09.06.19	oh, I still need to watch that. been meaning to forever
alamo 09.06.19	us sucks and scary stories is pretty meh
butt. 09.06.19	booooooooo
budgie 09.06.19	yeah us was nonsense
alamo 09.06.19	if you're looking for comedy horror watch murder party (in case you havent). super entertaining
butt. 09.06.19	murder party is saulnier's weakest film for sure. it's not terrible, but pretty meh. I could name 100 better horror comedies
alamo 09.06.19	please do i'd love to watch them i was high while watching murder party but im pretty sure it ruled
budgie 09.06.19	i fucking love murder party, seen it so many times. definitely like it murder than blue ruin, though that was still good. "I could name 100 better horror comedies" haha. murder party is my absolute favorite horror comedy. unless you consider more loose ones likes scream, killer klowns from outer space, return of the living dead
butt. 09.06.19	haha for the sake of time I'll just throw out some of my favs. Evil Dead II, Dead Alive, Tucker and Dale, Trick 'r Treat, Cabin in the Woods, Re-Animator, Shaun of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Scream, You're Next, Cabin Fever, Stitches, Slither, Hatchet, Dead Snow, Behind the Mask, Severance, Gremlins, Tusk, Idle Hands, Silent Night Deadly Night, Zombeavers, Cooties
butt. 09.06.19	Chopping Mall, Drag Me to Hell, Happy Death Day, Terrifier
adr 09.06.19	it's already mentioned, but watch Possession (1981) it's my favourite horror movie ever. Also The Cremator (1969) is pretty fucked up czech new wave horror House (1977) for surrealistic comedy/horror mashup experience The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) - oldschool gothic horror in the same vein as Nosferatu Eyes Without a Face (1960) is pretty good The Babadook is not bad for a more recent horror movie.
butt. 09.06.19	I'm mad that I still haven't seen Possession or House of Usher.
artiswar 09.06.19	no mention of Coherence or The Loved Ones? I fucking love those. And have you seen the extreme french films budgie?
budgie 09.06.19	i might as well input my thoughts on these "Evil Dead II" i put this more as horror-comedy than comedy-horror but yeah, 4.5/5, original is 5/5 for me, like top 10 film "dead alive/braindead" i actually never liked this film very much. kick ass for the lord huh "Tucker and Dale" i enjoyed it every time i've seen it, but i like murder party way more "Re-Animator" sacrilege to say but i think this one is kind of overrated. i love combs' character though, to death "Shaun of the Dead" never liked this film lol. "Return of the Living Dead" as before, i think this is more horror comedy than comedy horror but yeah it's another 5/5 top 10 film "Scream" same as return of the living dead, 5/5 top 10 film "you're next" it's a good slasher/home invasion, not horror comedy nor comedy horror though "cabin fever" original is alright. remake is also alright "stiches" haven't seen this one. clown film right? "slither" good dialogue, good film. bath scene is classic "hatchet" haven't seen! "dead snow" it's pretty OK "behind the mask" i really thought this meta-slasher was really average "severance" haven't seen in way too long to comment, will make a note to rewatch "gremlins" rewatched the first one recently and thought it was OK "tusk" hated it, lol "idle hands" never finished it, didn't like it "silent night deadly night" haven't seen "zombeavers" SUPER awesome horror comedy, nice to see it listed "cooties" pretty average except for a couple moments "i do crossfit" or rainn wilson calling elijah wood a hobbit come to mind "chopping mall" pretty bad for the 80s cheese category IMO "drag me to hell" doesn't come close to evil dead I/II IMO "happy death day" i didn't really think too highly of this one or the sequel "terrifier" haven't seen
butt. 09.06.19	damn budge do you even like horror lol. most of these are super fun movies, and yeah I wasn't bothering to differ between horror-comedy and comedy-horror. it's a thin line in my book. re: you're next, it has just enough dark humor in it for me to consider horror comedy
budgie 09.06.19	yeah def thin line. i just sometimes keep the distinction up because it can be awkward to categorize for example scream and tucker and dale vs evil in the same way. tucker and dale vs evil is pretty light hearted material whereas scream has a really dark sinister tone "do i even like horror" keep in mind i was considering the films you listed in relation to murder party, which is one of my favorite films, so almost everything is worse
Thalassic 09.06.19	Only movies out of Budgie's list that I enjoy are Scream, You're Next, Evil Dead II and Hatchet.
budgie 09.06.19	that's butt.'s list btw not budgie's list
Thalassic 09.06.19	Ok, since you commented on the list, it's the Buttbudgie list now
Uzumaki 09.06.19	budgiebutt.?
Viriathus 09.06.19	Altered States (1980) The Beyond (1981) Phantasm (1979) The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) Re-Animator (1985) Dead Alive (1992) Martyrs (2008)
Thalassic 09.06.19	Nobody asked for it, but here's my faves anyway; A l’Interieur, Alien, An American Werewolf in London, Audition, The Beyond, The Blair Witch Project, The Burning, Dawn of the Dead ’78, Deep Red, Don’t Look Now, Eden Lake, Eraserhead, Event Horizon, Evil Dead ‘81, The Exorcist, The Fly, Halloween ’78, Haute Tension, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, The House of the Devil, Ichi the Killer (if this counts as horror), Intruder, Inland Empire, It Follows, Jacob’s Ladder, Kill List, Lost Highway (if this counts as horror), Maniac '80, Martyrs, Mulholland Drive (if this counts), The New York Ripper, Night of the Living Dead ’68, Pop Skull, Possession, Prince of Darkness, Psycho '60, REC, Repulsion, Rosemary’s Baby, Scream, The Shining, Suspiria ‘77, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ’74, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II, The Thing '82, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Videodrome, The Witch, The Wicker Man ‘73, Zombi 2
budgie 09.06.19	"Eden Lake" oh godddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
robertsona 09.06.19	Four David Lynch movies? Go off
Thalassic 09.06.19	Are you imitating the kid that gets necklaced?
artiswar 09.06.19	how dare you ignore me budgie you fuck
Thalassic 09.06.19	"Four David Lynch movies? Go off" Go off?
robertsona 09.06.19	go off bitch go offfffffff
robertsona 09.06.19	“go off” is a good thing. Like, “do your thing”. Not like “go off yourself”
Thalassic 09.06.19	And actually, there's five
robertsona 09.06.19	Yeah inland empire snuck by me. Dat Laura dern face near the end lol
Thalassic 09.06.19	Ah ok cheers haha Yeah it's late over here so I'm probably a bit slow
Thalassic 09.06.19	Yeah, Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive probably don't count as "horror" Inland Empire, Eraserhead and Fire Walk With Me do fully count in my book
budgie 09.06.19	"Are you imitating the kid that gets necklaced? " nah that was just my reaction to being reminded of that film
robertsona 09.06.19	David lynch is an interesting case. Clearly always inflected with uncanny horror. You could probably write a lot about “horror” and Lynch yah yah cool stuff
Uzumaki 09.06.19	points for mentioning Audition and Ichi the Killer I'd probably class Ichi as a yakuza film with black comedy. It's gory, but I don't think it's pure horror.
robertsona 09.06.19	I’ve seen one (1) scene from audition and it’s the thing that upsets me most—THEEEE most— when I think about it. I don’t dive too much into gore or gross out type stuff tho
Thalassic 09.06.19	Budgie, you don't like Eden Lake? Some David Lynch movies have a horror undertone. Several scenes in his movies fucked me up more than any straight up horror movie. Like the "bum scene" in Mulholland Drive, the Bowie cameo or "You stole my corn" scenes in Fire Walk With Me, basically all of Inland Empire... Ichi the Killer is probably more a whacked out yakuza movie than a horror movie, still has somewhat of a disturbing vibe
budgie 09.06.19	i feel about eden lake the way i feel about funny games: seriously grim, seriously well done, but hard to handle!
budgie 09.06.19	"no mention of Coherence or The Loved Ones? I fucking love those. And have you seen the extreme french films budgie? " coherence is super fun, and the girl in the loved ones is such an underrated villain. that last scene with her on the road is chilling, she's way cooler than chucky, jason, etc... should've been an icon extreme french films: as much as i'm a francophile or whatever, i don't really like french horror, though i still need to get around to uh, a l'interieur. i've seen dans ma peau and raw, both were solid but the extremism genre isn't my favorite, i didn't really care about les martyrs that much but i haven't seen it since it came out so probably ripe for a rewatching.
artiswar 09.06.19	'i feel about eden lake the way i feel about funny games: seriously grim, seriously well done, but hard to handle!' those are both top 10 most fucked up films easily
budgie 09.06.19	yeah... megan is missing & the girl next door as well
artiswar 09.06.19	I didn't like l'interieur much, it actually traumatized me a bit in high-school. It's a great movie but it makes you squirm the entire time, it's really unpleasant and exploits a lot of the stuff I'm really squeamish about (graphic neck mutilation, violence against a pregnant woman). The other French extremity films are way better imo, especially Martyrs, High Tension and Frontier(s).
BigBlob 09.06.19	Frontier(s) is awful though
artiswar 09.06.19	I thought it would be awful but it wasn't that bad. The revenge ending was kinda really satisfying.
alamo 09.07.19	just watched kill list, what the fuck?
artiswar 09.07.19	Never even heard of Kill List, it looks really promising.
budgie 09.07.19	it's a fucking rollercoaster. great film
alamo 09.07.19	i'm still digesting what i just watched also in case anyone wants to see a great thriller with lots of homoerotic action watch stranger by the lake
budgie 09.07.19	looks like the super edgy "satanism is hip" movie has a hd torrent out - called satanic panic might hate-watch it out of boredom tonight
budgie 09.07.19	https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2213817/?ref_=tt_cl_t10
artiswar 09.07.19	Damn, totally missed Stranger By The Lake, thanks.
Gyromania 09.08.19	It pt 2 was a great time.
unclereich 09.08.19	Really because pt 1 was a snooze fest
BAT 09.08.19	just saw Angst (1983) and it was pretty good, gasper noe pretty much stole his style from it buuuut its less explicit than noes works, still pretty unnerving and fucked up tho
hexfix93 09.08.19	I've had terrible luck finding any good horror movie lately. I've watched plenty but they ranged from mediocre to terrible. The few I liked (or enjoyed to an extent): The Autopsy of Jane Doe - Not really "scary" in the traditional sense but a nice deviation from typical horror, even if the ending felt a bit underwhelming. Worth watching imo The Endless - Saw this on Netflix. It's not a high-budget film but that doesn't hurt it. Also more of a thriller/suspense, not much gore really -- but it's pretty weird and just gets crazier as it goes on. I liked this one a lot. The Haunting of Hill House -- (Netflix series, not the movie). Thought this would be terrible but I actually liked it a lot. It's only one season (next season is a completely different plot). Definitely recommend watching this one, not really your typical horror. The Ritual - Well, it's not terrible, not exactly great either. It was ok idk lol you might like it more, I just wouldn't suggest prioritizing it.
budgie 09.08.19	all great picks hexfire! i really loved autopsy of jane doe in particular
hexfix93 09.08.19	Yeah that movie is cool. I just wish they explained the ending a bit more conclusively -- like the father had his theory about what she was but I'm not sure how accurate he was. Not really a big deal though, just a minor gripe. Movie is still awesome. I also appreciated the historical accuracy regarding Salem since most movies throw that out the window. Kinda funny you made this list though because I was legit about to make the same one a few days ago lol. I've been losing my shit trying to find other good ones.
budgie 09.08.19	have you seen bad match? that's my favorite little "not-even-horror-fans-bring-it-up" gem of recent times. 2017
artiswar 09.08.19	thoughts on the Ginger Snaps trilogy?
budgie 09.08.19	original is one of my favorite films for sure, just rewatched pretty recently actually. i only like 2 & 3 because emily perkins is my favorite person ever but as films i don't really think they stand up well to #1, at all, actually, pretty bad films lol. imo. emily perkins though
JeetJeet 09.08.19	Check out Apostle.
hexfix93 09.08.19	Never heard of that one haha. I'll check it out, couldn't think of a movie for tonight so gonna go with that. Have you (or anyone) seen The Conjuring 2? I've been hesitant to watch it. I've heard bad things about Annabelle so I'm not sure how any of those turned out either.
budgie 09.08.19	ah i don't really like any of the james wan haunted house films, so i can't recommend it.
artiswar 09.08.19	Ginger Snaps 2 is the fucking shit tbh, massively underrated. But yeah, the first one is the classic. Third one is pretty bad but it's kind of a fascinating bizarre trainwreck that has some moments of genuine entertainment. And YES, Emily Perkins is amazing, wish she acted more.
budgie 09.08.19	wish she would just marry me already
budgie 09.09.19	AND it's a fucking shame she wasn't cast for IT CHAPTER II. what the fuck, right?!??
artiswar 09.09.19	How the fuck do you not like GS2? It's like... Emily Perkins: The Movie
artiswar 09.09.19	hahaaa I liked her in the original IT even though I hated that adaptation. She had a sweet cameo in Bryan Fuller's Dead Like Me which was a pretty sweet short-lived series.
budgie 09.09.19	i like gs2 for her, despite the rest of the film. without her i wouldn't even have remembered i had ever watched it have you seen american mary?
artiswar 09.09.19	I didn't like American Mary that much but Katherine Isabelle was amazing and it had a really interesting take on Bloody Mary but I think it went off the rails towards the end. GS2 is a genuinely satisfying, effective horror film. Fight Me.
budgie 09.09.19	ah, i love american mary pretty sure i recognized her in one of the friday the 13th films too. hmm
artiswar 09.09.19	I think I missed her cameo in Friday The 13th, it's been like 8 years since I watched those films, which one was she in? GS2 is fucking great though. Intro credits alone are god-tier.
budgie 09.09.19	not really a cameo. looked it up, it's freddy vs. jason
artiswar 09.09.19	wow haven't seen that one since it came out... guess I'm due for a rewatch
mindleviticus 09.09.19	Light horror rec: It Follows. Hardcore horror rec: Inside (2007) or Martyrs (2008).
butt. 09.09.19	@hex "Have you (or anyone) seen The Conjuring 2?" Yes Conjuring 2 is honestly almost as good as the first. Very solid. And the first Annabelle movie gets a bad rap, but both sequels got good reviews and the second is my personal favorite
Lizardwave 09.09.19	it’s not necessarily horror but damn if requiem for a dream doesn’t make me piss my pants
butt. 09.09.19	This weekend I watched: Train to Busan - much better than expected, probably in top 10 zombie movies now Audition - first half is slow, gets better in the finale. probably wouldn't rewatch House on Haunted Hill ('59) - also pretty slow, only a couple memorable scenes The Ring - classic 00's horror The Invisible Man ('33) - Actually really loved this, the effects were great for 1933!
artiswar 09.09.19	The Inside fucked me up, I'm not really a gore hound and it made me feel woozy. Definitely one of the hardest watches for me. Martyrs fucked me up too, but in the best possible way. Remake was an abortion though.
budgie 09.09.19	i tried to watch inside for the 2nd time two nights ago. can't do it
butt. 09.09.19	too gory?
budgie 09.09.19	i think it's the early scene where the pregnant woman gets stabbed in the stomach, idk i just stop the film there lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.09.19	I can never watch Martyrs
artiswar 09.09.19	I had to look away multiple times during Inside and I was squirming the entire time basically. Ridiculously effective film. Pots, you should really watch Martyrs. It's not very gory, it's just emotionally exhausting to watch. It's actually oddly beautiful in certain parts. One of the most unique horror films I've ever seen and it leaves an indelible mark.
budgie 09.09.19	"I had to look away multiple times during Inside and I was squirming the entire time basically. Ridiculously effective film." you should check out dans ma peau, that is fucking effective as far as making you squirm goes
Uzumaki 09.09.19	Just curious; anything you didn’t particularly care for with Audition that’s influencing your decision?
artiswar 09.09.19	I heard about that one budgie and I just can't do it. Having had multiple people in my life who self-harmed, I don't think I could sit through it.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.09.19	Ur the first person I've seen say martyrs isnt gorey. I've read about and seen stills for certain scenes that make me want to die inside
artiswar 09.09.19	I mean one of the last scenes where the girl is skinned I didn't find hard to look at. It looked like a Tool video tbh. Plus you don't actually see her getting skinned. The film just makes you depressed rather than revulsed. It's really bleak, but I can name a dozen more gorey hard-to-watch films off the top of my head.
artiswar 09.09.19	Btw has anyone sat through Men Behind The Sun? I only got up to the first kill and I was so shocked/disturbed by it I had to stop there, and I heard it gets even worse...
BAT 09.09.19	Yepp, tis pretty brutal. Probably the only movie where an actual child corpse gets dissected
budgie 09.09.19	never heard of it!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.09.19	Well it's nice to know u dont watch her get skinned lol but the visual of her with nothing but her face left is haunting. Same with the reverse where they just cut the chicks face off
BAT 09.09.19	unit 731 the movie or less, give it a wikipedia super fucked up japanese history lesson alongside the rape of nanking. its kinda like a historical torture movie, one of the common 'most fucked up' movies you'd see listed on imdb back in the forum days. i wouuld say its one of the harder sits i've come across
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.09.19	I've read about that movie and even reading about it was hard to stomach
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.09.19	I know he didnt mean it to be an exploitation film and the historic component seperates it but exploitation films in general are just so abhorrent
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.09.19	What's the scoop on that from the inside movie or whatever
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.09.19	On an aside every time I read people try to call salo high brow artsploitation it makes me scoff That movie is a fucking worthless piece of shit.
artiswar 09.09.19	Pots where do they cut a chick's face off? I'm confused. BAT what did you think of the arm scene in MBTS? I closed the window, deleted the movie, then uninstalled VLC.
artiswar 09.09.19	Never watched Salo, I draw the line at eating human excrement thank you.
BAT 09.09.19	theres a 2nd arm scene in it that fucked with me even harder, they freeze this dudes arms completely blue than start cracking his hands apart with a ruler. annnd yeah when it comes down to it, it iiis just a shitty exploitation movie buuut the historical context elevates it to being uniquely fucked. theres too many fucked up scenes to list but an example would be someone thrown into a pressure chamber until guts shot out of his ass. it's way more explicit than salo buuuut there's some similarities in terms of how the contents presented. haven seen inside in like a decade but i remember it being fun but a bit over the top
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.09.19	@art I read and saw stills for it! Maybe two movies got confused. But there was the one where the chick gets skinned and another where just then chicks face is skinned
artiswar 09.09.19	I think you might be confusing stills from the remake with the original Pots. There's nothing as tasteless as that in Martyrs (2008). It deconstructs exploitation and 'torture-porn' and you're not remotely meant to enjoy the way it's depicted. As for MBTS, it's shining a light on real events that humanity would probably rather forget happened, which gives it an extra hefty layer of fucked-upness. Too much for me to sit through.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Well you are doing a better job at selling it than anyone else has done so far and many have tried haha
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Cannibal holocaust always gets thrown on those lists but I didnt think it was that bad tbh.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Salo is just an edge fest that shouldnt be held any higher than bottom of the barrel shit like the human centipede sequels
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	A couple others I'm too scared to watch off the top of my head are Serbian film and the patoopskydoopsky tapes or whatever
artiswar 09.10.19	The Poughkeepsie Tapes is a pretty sweet sleeper hit. Not sure why you're scared to watch it, it's super tame. Creepy as fuck, but tame.
BAT 09.10.19	cannibal holocaust is actually a pretty awesome grindhouse movie. salo isssss overhyped garbo, marginally interesting. a serbian film pretty much lives up to its rep buuuut i'd argue something like cattle decapitations forced gender reassignment music video(annd all its wanna bes that i havent bothered to watch) outgores the entirety of serbian film
artiswar 09.10.19	Wanted to see Serbian Film cause I've heard it's actually good but I think I'm too pussy. Also too scared to watch Cannibal Holocaust and Green Inferno.
BAT 09.10.19	i'd say cannibal is more up my alley, serbian film isn't poorly made buuut still kinda hard to recommend without warnings
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Shouldnt be too scared of cannibal holocaust. There are 2 animal scenes which they literally just kill a spider monkey and a turtle the way u would if u were gonna eat it...
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Which is why it's ironic that people are so squeamish about it when they eat meat that's killed far more inhumanely
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Then there are like one or two memorable goreyish scenes but they are super over the top and fleeting that they arent bad
artiswar 09.10.19	yeah I'm starting to realize the hype about how extreme CH is is a bit overblown. Might watch it. Thoughts on Martyrs BAT? I know it's a bit polarizing, curious where it landed for you.
butt. 09.10.19	Currently watching Child’s Play 3 It’s exactly what you’d expect of the third Child’s Play movie
budgie 09.10.19	ppooots did you watch lake mungo?
BAT 09.10.19	childs play 3 is kinda awesome, love the bullet swap scene. martyrs was actually pretty good, i need to give it a rewatch but i'd say its one of the most accessible films out of the 00s extreme-french flicks, not as torture-y as it's plot would indicate. for comparison i liked it more than inside
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	What makes inside so gross? And no I forgot about that one budge i did have It downloaded but my comp pooped
BAT 09.10.19	inside i didn't have much of a problem with violence wise, once random people start showing up at the house it kinda loses its tension. still a solid simple low-budg shock film, the lead actresses were really good
budgie 09.10.19	"What makes inside so gross?" it's not gross necessarily, but early into the film there's a pregnant woman getting stabbed in the stomach. i thought i had a high capacity for gore but that's just too much. please watch lake mungo dude! as i said before, top 5 film for me. scream, jaws, halloween, blackcoat's daughter, lake mungo. watch it!!!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	I'm on it dude u havent led me astray yet Also I've never seen jaws lol
budgie 09.10.19	dude... watch it like right now. before you go to sleep
butt. 09.10.19	@BAT yeah I enjoyed it actually, the bullet swap thing was pretty crazy and then the whole final act at the carnival was great too
budgie 09.10.19	LORDEOFPOTS PLEASE WATCH JAWS RIGHT NOW
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Haha the premise just always seemed to silly to me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Oh you mean that 16 year old girl ok pedo
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Alright I'll let it slide this time bucko but ur on thin ice
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	We don't need another yaknips in our midsts
budgie 09.10.19	you're not even a legal human being until you watch jaws
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Call ur mom
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Pretty sure it's on Netflix budge I'll watch it soon I promise
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Is that the kid from it? 22% and 32% on meta and rotten looks fire
budgie 09.10.19	i'm not even going to talk to you until you've seen jaws
budgie 09.10.19	i can delete your posts btw
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	Not if I dont talk to u 1st
butt. 09.10.19	guys what should I watch tonight. I'm getting sick so I'm just gonna glue myself to the couch when I get home from work
BAT 09.10.19	haven't seen the omen mentioned, thats a gooden
butt. 09.10.19	ah shit The Omen is one of the few essentials I still haven't seen...
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.10.19	"Dark phoenix flopped the first time... let's try it again but with a way shittier actress!"
butt. 09.10.19	yup im all caught up on ST
butt. 09.10.19	also in the mood for oldies lately. there are so many old dracula and frankenstein movies its ridiculous
budgie 09.10.19	"guys what should I watch tonight." watch banshee chapter!
budgie 09.10.19	it's not an oldie though it's like 2017.
butt. 09.10.19	that's another one I've been hearing about for a while. what's it like?
butt. 09.10.19	and I liked season 3, better than season 2 probably. but 1 is still king
budgie 09.10.19	butt.: regarding banshee chapter?
butt. 09.10.19	yeah
budgie 09.10.19	butt.: banshee chapter rundown: it'u ins kind of lovecraftian, there's a drug that, when you ingest it, it exposes you to interdimensional horrors, you know? so the film is about a journalist who's trying to figure out what happened to her college roommate who took the drug. and it has a hunter thompson figure in it, too. awesome, awesome, awesome film
butt. 09.10.19	oh cool, that sounds pretty dope
budgie 09.10.19	"Also too scared to watch Cannibal Holocaust and Green Inferno." green inferno isn't that bad gore wise. it is a pile of shit though, lol
wwf 09.10.19	banshee chapter is a lot of fun yee
butt. 09.11.19	Sorry guys, you gave me good recs but here I am watching seed of Chucky. Just gonna binge and finish the series tonight since I haven’t seen em all yet
budgie 09.11.19	speaking of, anyone check the new chucky film with aubrey plaza?
butt. 09.11.19	yes, it was awesome. great mix of creepy and funny and some cool inventive ideas to keep it fresh. highly recommend
budgie 09.11.19	nice! i definitely am excited. the original was pretty cute for 1987 or whenever
BigBlob 09.11.19	second half of Cannibal Holocaust is up there with my fav horror films. it actually feels like it really happened
butt. 09.11.19	yeah the director was arrested because they actually believed he had those actors killed. and the actors were paid to lay low after the release to make it seem more real
BigPleb 09.11.19	Got some underrated ones here for you, budgie. Frailty In the Mouth of Madness Lake Mungo The Orphanage Jacob's Ladder
budgie 09.11.19	pleb!! look at #4 on this list https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1072392&listid=185784 ;DDDD i haven't seen frailty or the orphanage!! will check, thanks bro!
mindleviticus 09.11.19	Martyrs was way more disturbing than I thought it was going to be but it wasn't terribly gory. The movie was really good but I thought the latter half of the movie's plot made no sense. There were moments where I legitimately had to look away though for a long period of time. No other film has really made me do that. (you know what I'm talking about for those that have seen the movie (******SPOILER--the basement girl--SPOILER ******))
BigPleb 09.11.19	Martyrs is very grim, yeah. One of those films I'm glad I can say I 'saw' but I never feel the need to go back and view it again. @budgie niiiccceee, Frailty is so good man. Lake Mungo is amazing isn't it, just incredibly bleak and well performed.
mindleviticus 09.11.19	Recently watched Funny Games too and that really fucked me up, despite the fact it's supposed to be satirical. I found that tougher to sit through than martyrs honestly.
budgie 09.11.19	lake mungo is beyond beautiful. when i saw it, that's the most terrified i've ever been in film watching sort of setting. and then it sat with me for a couple of weeks.. which turned into a kind of existential terror. and then months later i watched a review of the movie and just it shot up from "perfectly terrifying film" to "beautiful experiment in grief and existentialism" and i just worship lake mungo so much for, like, i mean what's the budget for that film? it does so much with so little. everybody needs to experience that film. but at the same time it's so fucking scary that i don't wish that phone camera scene upon anyone.
budgie 09.11.19	regarding martyrs: there was an american remake, has anyone seen it? is it total shit? lol. i think the reception was really bad but i like bad movies. (i loved RINGS and that movie got shit from all sides)
mindleviticus 09.11.19	yeah it's really bad. they try to make it way more optimistic and it doesn't work. plus the acting is horrible
BigPleb 09.11.19	@budgie the Martyrs remake is terrible, just feels like a typical US horror remake with all the originals effectiveness sucked out of it.
BigPleb 09.11.19	Tbh there has only been one film that has ever truly affected me after the credits stopped rolling: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I don't know what it is but every time I go back and watch it I'm teleported into that zone of terror that you can't really understand once the film has finished. Best horror film ever made imo.
mindleviticus 09.11.19	TCM was a pretty slow burn imo but once it gets near the end it's so effective.
budgie 09.11.19	i really like the first TCM, it's def up there with the classics: jaws, alien, halloween etc. i think the 2nd was a miss for me, though it was fun, i guess. and then all the sequels and prequels and whatever i don't think i liked them very much. 1st one is great though yeah for sure
budgie 09.11.19	"Recently watched Funny Games " yeah funny games is impossible to watch haha. jesus christ.
butt. 09.11.19	glad someone else loves Lake Mungo as much as me. Showing it to my buddy soon for the first time and I'm so excited for him
budgie 09.11.19	nice dude! hopefully lordepoots watches it soon
butt. 09.11.19	that whole cell phone scene is one of 3 or 4 scenes, ever, that legitimately terrifies me. the others probably all come from Signs lol
BigPleb 09.11.19	Signs has one of the best jumpscares ever.
budgie 09.11.19	i remember just that scene where the alien walks infront of the window, i don't remember anything else? but i haven't seen that film since it came out in like 2004 or whenever
BigPleb 09.11.19	Yeah that's the scene haha. Wolf Creek is another grim one, just a bleak atmosphere throughout.
alamo 09.11.19	watched it 2 last weekend, thought it was pretty disappointing =/ though the visuals and horror stuff were on point the narrative was as shitty as it could be
butt. 09.11.19	the signs birthday party scene is definitely the scariest and the one most people remember. but also don't forget alien on the roof, leg in the cornfield, hand in the coal chute, alien in the pantry (oh god), etc
budgie 09.11.19	dude wolf creek pissed me off so much. that scene where she shoots the guy in the neck and then doesn't do ANYTHING. like, he's on the ground, in a shed with like a million weapons in it. just take a fucking screwdriver at least and make sure he's dead-dead. god damn pisses me off just thinking about it.
BigPleb 09.11.19	Or just beat him over the head with the butt of the rifle haha, it is dumb agreed.
BigBlob 09.11.19	anyone seen Dont Look Now? the ending of that film is next level freaky
BigPleb 09.11.19	Girl in the red raincoat? Ye, subtle but effective movie.
BigBlob 09.11.19	yeh has one of the strangest atmospheres of any horror. really well done
BigPleb 09.11.19	Kind of feels more like a psychological drama, but there's definitely horror elements in there.
budgie 09.11.19	who are you talking to?
BigBlob 09.11.19	XD
BigPleb 09.11.19	Hahaha.
budgie 09.11.19	oh lol bigblog bigpleb
BigBlob 09.11.19	yeh its the unwritten rule that we aren't allowed to post on threads at the same time : (
BigBlob 09.11.19	people click on it expecting quality content from pleb, but instead they get my crap
budgie 09.11.19	aw i think you're solid bigblob
BigPleb 09.11.19	Lol my content is hardly 'quality', you rule blob *fist bump*
butt. 09.11.19	side note, bride of chucky was fookin awesome
budgie 09.11.19	pots did you wathc mungo yet?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	Yep
budgie 09.12.19	bro what bro did you think bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! give us a write-up bro!!!!!!!!!! bro egarran!!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	Just kidding not yet
Thalassic 09.12.19	Oh yeah, Lake Mungo I like that one
unclereich 09.12.19	blackcoat's daughter was a bit to slow for me and I didn't feel like the payoff was worth the slog
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	Big fan of a good atmospheric slow burner with a hollow ending so I loved it
budgie 09.12.19	i devour every second of that "slog" lol. it's so delicious
budgie 09.12.19	poots by hollow ending do you mean bleak ending or meaningless ending?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	Hollow in effect... so bleak in execution. I like movies that arent wrapped up in a conventionally neat and contented manner, ones that make you FEEL hollow
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	For example: Valhalla rising, blue valentine, virtually everything by david lynch
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	Definitely not saying the ending of February was meaningless, far from it
budgie 09.12.19	yeah that's what i thought you meant. the movie sometimes gets some flak for having a bad ending, but no way, the ending is beautifully sad. fucking masterpiece infact
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	Ugh NORMIES
budgie 09.12.19	i can't remember the ending to valhalla rising very well. arrows?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	That ending is magnificent, indeed that perfect marriage of beauty and melancholy that just haunts you for days. Such a visceral combination of emotions I find
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	@budge basically one eye and the kid get back to the coast just to be surrounded by the indigenous, one eye exchanges his life for the kid and is beaten to death and the child is left
unclereich 09.12.19	man I wish I could discuss this with you guys irl, we seem to be likeminded when it comes to slow burn horror. I was surprised that this didn't do much for me. I feel like it was an attempt to deviate as far away as possible to the pitfalls of modern horror. what ended up happening was a film with too insignificant a payoff.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	Well for me it was just tragic, she spent years yearning for the connection she felt to the demonic presence, she just didnt want to be alone
unclereich 09.12.19	Emma Roberts having an acting career is tragic in and of itself
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	She sacrificed her morals for companionship when everyone else left her and then she kills again to try and reestablish that link just to realize that she is still utterly alone
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	Haha I love Emma Roberts man SCREAM QUEEEENS
unclereich 09.12.19	she's a real qt yea but due to the brevity and subtlety of the plot I don't really care about her fate
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	I did, kiernan shipka was incredible
budgie 09.12.19	aw ok poots it's been so long. i remember just loving it for the atmosphere, such a juicy film. unclereich: i don't want to use the term payoff because it makes me feel like i was sacrificing my time in the "build up", i think every second is great, as i said, but anyway, the ending seemed powerful each time i watch the film: rose's father mentions "do you believe in god? i see god in the unlikely things that happen", which gets kat thinking, oh maybe satan will come back to me now, so she does the you know what, but despite it all, he's not coming back, and she just crumbles under the realization that she's totally alone in life. the direction of the film pretty elegantly ensures that the truth about satan is ambiguous - maybe she developed him as a coping mechanism for loneliness after having lost her parents, or maybe there actually was a satan figure in the shadows. that ending is so glorious.
unclereich 09.12.19	she's weird looking and easy to dislike for sure
budgie 09.12.19	yeah what pots said, haha.
budgie 09.12.19	"I did, kiernan shipka was incredible " yeah this again for me, kiernan's performance pulls me in so deeply that i empathize so hard with her character. even just when the schoolmaster tells her he won't be there for her piano performance just feels so sad. she rules
unclereich 09.12.19	no these things are all true for sure but they are extremely overt, I felt like I had to work for nothing. now we can argue whether or not this is a bad thing. for my own viewership it is
budgie 09.12.19	emma roberts was screechingly annoying in scream 4 but i guess that worked for her character. i don't think i've seen her in anything else
unclereich 09.12.19	man it's so weird I don't agree with graham on a flick, I really didn't care for her or really any of the performances
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	Ah well, I bet ud hate his netflix movie then
budgie 09.12.19	the "payoff" was actually pretty creepy for me in i am the pretty thing. lucy boynton as a ghost is so beautiful
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.12.19	The one thing I couldnt stand in that movie was the main actress. She was supposed to be what? Early 20s? Fucking plastic surgery had her lookin like a 40 year old duck.
budgie 09.15.19	i really liked the childs play remake. fun horror comedy. idk if the casting was that good though, i dont think most of the main actors did their roles well. but everything else was great, comedy was def better than og
wwf 09.15.19	emma roberts was incredible in scream queens. like reallyyyy fuckin good
budgie 09.16.19	anyone see mother, camp dread, nekrotronic,
budgie 09.16.19	tone deaf, or haunt?
Uzumaki 09.16.19	Arronofsky’s “Mother!”?
budgie 09.16.19	2017 one
butt. 09.16.19	Yeah. Great movie. I don’t wanna spoil anything, but just understand that there is a lottt going on. More than you realize. Pay attention to details when you watch it
alamo 09.16.19	"emma roberts was incredible in scream queens. like reallyyyy fuckin good" yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss such a good show
fogza 09.16.19	Scream queens was hilarious. Emma R stood out in the few things I've seen her in, even when the movie isn't that good.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.16.19	Also shes hot in the face
budgie 09.16.19	i like her more with dark hair
Uzumaki 09.16.19	Highly metaphorical. Once you realize that, “Mother!” is easy to understand.
budgie 09.16.19	jennifer lawrence annoys me so we'll see how i like it. loved black swan, though, and requiem for a dream was.. you know. watched april fools day last night, 1986, was pretttty sweet
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.16.19	Ok I fucking HATED jennifer Lawrence and put off mother! a long time because of it but that movie made me change my tune a bit. She nailed the role.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.16.19	Probably my favorite of whatshisface's films
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.16.19	aronofsky, that's his face
budgie 09.16.19	ok. did u see childs play remake pots?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.16.19	Not yet but want. Aubrey is bae
budgie 09.16.19	shes straight up the worst part of the movie. idk whose wise idea it was to cast AUBREY PLAZA as a CONCERNED MOTHER. otherwise the movie was a pretty sweet horror comedy which didn't play it too safe, lots of nice kills and gore
budgie 09.16.19	maybe casting aubrey plaza in her worst imaginable role was some kinda of meta-wink actually. hmmm
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.16.19	Lmao. That does sound like a counter intuitive role for her
budgie 09.21.19	just finished Haunt (2019) wasn't expecting anything just a random watch holy shit it was awesome! maybe favorite movie of the year
Thalassic 09.21.19	Anyone watching that French series Marianne on Netflix?
TheNotrap 09.21.19	I came here to say that. Terrifying, perhaps the best horror series I've ever seen. I'm in episode 6
Thalassic 09.21.19	I'm only on episode 3 now, but it's creepy af
TheNotrap 09.21.19	That old Marianne lady is scary as hell. Prepare yourself as it will get better and better.
budgie 09.21.19	are there lots of outside shots? i just saw the trailer and it had me extremely excited because it looks like it was filmed in brittany
TheNotrap 09.21.19	It was filmed in northern France, but I don't know where. Yes, there are many outdoor scenes, by the sea and by a lighthouse. Don't miss it, the series is excellent and really scary.
budgie 09.21.19	awesome... yeah looked up an article, the outdoor scenes were filmed in brittany. i'm super excited now!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.21.19	going to it chapter 2 tonight, hope its ok
TheNotrap 09.21.19	Just saw it. 6/10
alamo 09.22.19	it 2 sucks
budgie 09.22.19	thx
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.22.19	Bummer I didnt see it afterall anyways lol
alamo 09.22.19	just tried to watch first ep of new american horror story..,..... shite
budgie 09.22.19	thx
alamo 09.22.19	you're welcome damn i was stoked for brunette emma roberts
budgie 09.22.19	i need to fuck emma roberts
Uzumaki 09.23.19	Keeping in tone with the nature of this list, I'm with you in spirit on that, budgie.
butt. 09.23.19	Was AHS actually bad? I slightly had hopes that it would be better this time. Of course, I always do this and then always get disappointed
alamo 09.23.19	i only made through half the episode but yeah, production looks like a telenovela, awful dialogues, everything is a 80s horror cliche but just for the sake of being, in a very bland way imo "Of course, I always do this and then always get disappointed" me. damn those fun teasers
budgie 09.27.19	hd torrents for midsommar and crawl are finally out jesus about time
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.27.19	I thought crawl looked so stupid
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.27.19	Was more interested in that emma Roberts movie that they got bullied into cancelling
budgie 09.27.19	what film was that? crawl just looks like cheesy creature feature guilty pleasure type movie. and piranha 3d was awesome so
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.28.19	It was called The Hunt. The producers got bullied into cancelling it by the same crowd that is currently throwing a temper tantrum about Joker
budgie 09.28.19	what crowd is that?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.28.19	People that think they need to police art so that white "incels" dont get any smart ideas and do a terrorism
budgie 09.28.19	i'm tryin to find some decent sites which discuss it but man the internet is miserable seems like the studio pulled it to play it safe after some mass shootings, not necessarily that a bunch of people were whining about the film to be cancelled
budgie 09.28.19	"The studio’s decision to cancel its release came after 31 people were killed in two mass shootings last weekend. The first happened on Saturday at a crowded Walmart in El Paso, where a man armed with an AK-style rifle gunned down 22 people. Early on Sunday morning, nine people died when a gunman opened fire on a crowd gathered on the sidewalk of a busy entertainment district in Dayton. On Friday, President Trump alluded to “The Hunt” on Twitter without specifically naming it. He said it was made “in order to inflame and cause chaos.” “Liberal Hollywood is Racist at the highest level, and with great Anger and Hate!” he wrote. “They like to call themselves ‘Elite,’ but they are not Elite.”" probably they couch the movie until people forget about mass shootings for a while and then drop it when it will be more profitable? didn't that happen with the interview
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.28.19	People were sending them death threats over the movie because of all the recent shootings and eventually the studio and producers caved and shelved it
budgie 09.28.19	"Hunt, directed by Craig Zobel, chronicles a dozen "deplorables" trying to outlast a group of private jet-flying "elites" bent on killing their anti-choice, gun-loving targets. Following a THR story earlier that day on the altering of the film's marketing plan in the wake of a trio of mass shootings, Universal executives and the filmmakers began receiving death threats via email and on social media and immediately paused the campaign altogether. Sources say the studio's internal security force became involved, but outside law enforcement was not alerted. It appears that Universal did not foresee the maelstrom to come, including round-the-clock Fox News segments and tweets by President Trump seemingly directed at the title." "Sources say the studio leadership was reluctant to cave to the outrage of those who have not seen the finished film. But the mass shootings changed the calculus, rendering what studio sources believe was a biting satire into a project so toxic, it wasn't worth the headaches. Blum is said to have been on board with the decision to scrap it for now and move forward." what a fuckin trip emma roberts horror movie just wasted :(((((((((
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.28.19	Totally. I wonder if they pulled all the trailers down too. It honestly looked like great fun. Have u seen that Perfection netflix horror?
budgie 09.28.19	yeah i thought it was a pile of shit lol. idk if i posted here but i watched haunt last week and really enjoyed it, for like, low budget popcorn horror
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.28.19	Word, was seeing articles about people finding it super gross so I was curious about it. Will avoid!
budgie 09.28.19	there's like a quick scene where someone pukes up bugs that's about all the gross in it. the first act is pretty cool but the last act is one of the most atrociously awful things i've ever seen. probably still worth seeing because the two leads have a lesbian sex scene and that one girl is stunning
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.28.19	Why people freaking out about puking up bugs whatever
budgie 09.28.19	i doubt people actually are. just articles being written after every horror movie comes out "scariest horror movie of all time!" "people fainted in theater!" "grosses horror movie ever released!"
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.28.19	i mean yeah but i was reading rotten tomato reviews about it and people seemed to almost unanimously call it gross in one way or another
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.28.19	thy seemed to agree on that a lot more than they could agree on whether or not it was complete trash or really good
budgie 09.28.19	ah well guess they dont like seeing ppl puke up bugs. pusssies
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.28.19	agreed what.evvvurrrr
budgie 09.29.19	am currently watching midsommar
budgie 09.29.19	damn the suicide murder scene was chilling
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.29.19	Duuuude. So excited to hear your thoughts
budgie 09.29.19	this director really likes having his actors cry in his movies huh so much crying
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.29.19	That is a true fact
tectactoe 09.29.19	I am trying to decide whether Ari Aster or Jordan Peele is the most overrated director currently working. I guess Chris Nolan and Denis Villeneuve would be contenders as well.
JeetJeet 09.29.19	Nolan deserves that title. Denis has earned his acclaim.
budgie 09.29.19	"overrated director currently working" in horror the answer is definitely james wan. jordan peele totally flopped with "Us" though. i think hereditary is overrated but is still a solid flick, whereas wan's films are pretty much all trash except for maybe just the first saw film.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.29.19	Yeah
budgie 09.29.19	pots i was enjoying hereditary quite a bit, was enthralling the ending just made me sick to my stomach though idk definitely an effective horror film to me with a solid story i do prefer the wickerman though
tectactoe 09.29.19	But nobody is praising Wan for being an uber-intelligent (horror) director. Most of his films have piss poor ratings from audiences and critics alike, aside from a small vocal minority of vulgar auteurists. Nolan, Villeneuve, Peele, and Aster have all received widespread acclaim (more so from critics than audiences, but in some cases both)—in my opinion, undeservedly so. Nolan and Denis each have a single great film. Peele and Aster don’t even have that (granted their filmography is much smaller).
budgie 09.29.19	gotcha tectactoe, i have no inside in the movie critic world so i'm just speaking as someone who casually talks with horror fans and never took film classes
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.29.19	Yeah well ur wrong tec so that's the problem
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.29.19	@budge u mean midsommar right?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.29.19	Only one of the directors worth mentioning as "most overrated director" is nolan
budgie 09.29.19	lol yeah whoops!
butt. 09.29.19	Just watched Trick ‘r Treat. I watch it twice every fall. Fav movie ever
tectactoe 09.29.19	'Yeah well ur wrong tec so that's the problem' lol 'i have no inside in the movie critic world so i'm just speaking as someone who casually talks with horror fans and never took film classes' i mean i have no inside critic knowledge either, i'm just talking the critic scores on rotten tomatoes and IMDb and the like.
tectactoe 09.29.19	Aster and Peele are great at making decent-to-mediocre films, I guess.
budgie 09.29.19	trick'r'treat is great, got to make a halloween playlist soon!
Rev 09.29.19	Watched The House with Laughing Walls after hearing it was an underrated giallo classic, and I was totally sold following the really intense opening. ...And then it was a slow bag of piss until the climax. They did the love interest so goddamn dirty it basically ruined the whole thing for me I followed it up with All the Colors of the Dark, and hoo boy, THAT is how I want my gialli: hyperstylized, dizzying, and jammed the hell out. Rosemary’s Baby on mescaline, yeahhhhh~
tectactoe 09.29.19	budgie did you peep ‘Mulholland Drive’ or ‘It Comes at Night’ yet?
budgie 09.29.19	nope i dont know that i have any interest in mulholland drive it comes at night is coming though ill make myself watch it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.29.19	It comes at night lmao talk about overrated horrors. Also budgie why on earth would you hot he interested in Mulholland drive?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.29.19	Both midsommar and hereditary are indisputibly better than it comes at night. Get out and us are both overrated and still better than it comes at night
tectactoe 09.30.19	very, very wrong
tectactoe 09.30.19	Aster makes obnoxiously self-conscious, ham-fisted movies for people who put too much stock into shock value and visual photography, feigning depth with lazy ambiguity and inconsistent metaphors. But it looks so pretty! And it was soooo disturbing! Lol. He tries way to hard to be some mini-LVT provocateur/auteur, straining himself over inane subtext to produce art school drivel.
Trundle 09.30.19	finally watched midsommar, it did not disappoint
budgie 09.30.19	trundle how did you feel about the ending? i looked up discussions and it seems most people felt the ending was cathartic, and they sympathized with dani and the pagan cult. which was the exact opposite. the ending wasn't cathartic for me at all, it was haunting and left me feeling distraught
Trundle 09.30.19	ya, idk how to feel about it, i'm so not down with sympathizing with the cult. those fuckers were creepy as hell. but, i did kinda wanna see her boyfriend die as well, and i guess now Dani has a new "family" so i guess it works on that level. but ya i kinda would have rather seen her escape somehow. i mean both kinds of endings have been done before so many times that they're both cliche in a way, so idk i think the ending was pretty good, but ya, I would be curious to see how it would have played out had they gone the other way. still better than pretty much most horror movies,
Rev 09.30.19	three hour cut of midsommar slaps
tectactoe 09.30.19	I realize my comment sounds reductive toward people who enjoy his films and I didn't mean for it to be that way. There's nothing worse than someone who tries to categorize any for of art as objective. My apologies for sounding like a pompous cock, I just don't personally find Aster or Peele's work of much value beyond a well decorated surface texture.
butt. 09.30.19	of all modern horror directors, Aster is the one of the most unique and clearly puts lots of thought and time into everything he does. Idk how much of it you caught, but Hereditary was jam-packed with foreshadowing, metaphors, symbolic imagery, and easter eggs. His style is very distinct and I welcome his enthusiasm for making art and not just commercially successful loaded diapers.
tectactoe 09.30.19	I've seen it twice now and both times thought it was a fine horror film with a few moments of genuine suspense, a whole lot of nose-thumbing, and a piss-weak ending. Foreshadowing and symbolism is no longer a novel idea, simply hinting at what's to come later-on by placing recurring symbols and signposts in your film isn't particularly intelligent in and of itself. People more and more tend to place too much stock into photography and shock value, something Aster has plenty of, which explains the underground success his two films have achieved so far. But a lot of it is empty gesticulation, he's not doing anything particularly new or groundbreaking, he's simply got a decent eye and knows what makes people squirm. Sometimes that's enough for a horror film, but his two attempts are too ostentatious for me to really embrace as anything other than self-conscious wankery. I didn't "hate" either of them, but I don't find them anything above painfully average, bloated with half-baked subtext and inconsistent logic. One thing I'll give him credit for is getting a good performance out of his leading female. Collette and Pugh killed it. UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB is a horror film that came out the same year as HEREDITARY and was severely overshadowed, and it's one of the most audacious films from a conceptual/execution standpoint since maybe THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT from 1999 (barring the original UNFRIENDED, which shared the same conceit but squandered it with a bullshit supernatural narrative). I also mentioned IT COMES AT NIGHT which is one of the best horrors to come out in the last few years, one that seems to upset people because it doesn't have a clear-cut answer for everything, but it uses it's ambiguity to superlative effect, essentially placing the audience in the headspace of its main character: He is unsure of what's happening around him *and so are we*, and like him, we're only able to use context clues and intuition to draw conclusions.
Winesburgohio 09.30.19	counterpoint: Midsommar is good. thanks.
tectactoe 09.30.19	Either way, I tend to gravitate more towards films that aren't ostensibly "horror" films but manage to function through a horrifying register anyway, because they seem less concerned with signposting their scare tactics and are content with simply letting the horror "happen" (mostly because they have other things to focus on). Recent films that wouldn't be traditionally classified as outright "horror" yet are way more "horrific" than e.g. either of Peele or Aster's films, *in my opinion* (for some reason I feel like that qualifier is necessary now) would be: BURNING (Lee, 2018); MOTHER! (Aronofsky, 2017); THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER (Lanthimos, 2017); BONE TOMAHAWK (Zahler, 2015); COHERENCE (Byrkit, 2013); ENEMY (Villeneuve, 2013); UNDER THE SKIN (Glazer, 2013); BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO (Strickland, 2012); WINTER'S BONE (Granik, 2010), etc.
tectactoe 09.30.19	'counterpoint: Midsommar is good. thanks.' I'm honestly shocked you liked it, Wines. (Don't mean that pejoratively, I just wouldn't peg you as a fan based on what I know about your other tastes.)
budgie 09.30.19	my problem with midsommar and hereditary are, i think, while i absolutely think they are very good films, i don't really like either of them. i had a good time watching them, the stories were strong, the endings were strong, but i just don't like the films. my suspicion is: in neither of the films was there a single character who i cared about. to loosely compare hereditary to the exorcist (or, someone said it was similar to rosemary's baby): in the exorcist i cared about regan contre pazuzu and i cared about the father guy whose name i can't remember, and i cared deeply about rosemary; in hereditary i gave a fuck about no one, maybe the father i didn't outright dislike. and in midsommar compared to the wickerman (or even rosemary's baby, i felt like midsommar was more similar to rosemary's baby than hereditary, or maybe that "eventually accepting the devil" is just a story element this director likes to use), i really sympathized with the islanders, and slightly with the intruding mainlander cop fellow, whereas in midsommar, i sympathized with absolutely none of the slaughtered sheep (i thought the black was likeable but everyone else was miserable), and i hated every individual in the cult. so yeah this director needs to write some characters i care about otherwise it's just a film about horrible thing happening to dispensable peeps
budgie 09.30.19	"UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB is a horror film that came out the same year as HEREDITARY and was severely overshadowed, and it's one of the most audacious films from a conceptual/execution standpoint since maybe THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT from 1999 (barring the original UNFRIENDED, which shared the same conceit but squandered it with a bullshit supernatural narrative). " i've seen all the social-media horror films i think and they all are a blur to me because none stood out. but i think it was you who mentioned that film (dark web) because i re-downloaded it to re-check but idk, we will see. megan's missing stood out, actually, that film was ROUGH.
tectactoe 09.30.19	Forewarning: As much as I champion the film, even I can't deny the occasionally cringe acting in DARK WEB. And there's one glaring element of the film that I absolutely cannot stand (don't want to say to much, but it involves 'scrambling'). But what sets it apart from other horror films - even other social media-centric horror films - is the formalism/conceit. The entire film, in essence, unfolds on a computer screen. Not only is this unprecedented (aside from, like I said, the original UNFRIENDED, which carried the same structure but had a goofy narrative that ruined it) but it creates an augmented sense of hyper-realism, like a BLAIR WITCH PROJECT for the new, technology-obsessed era. Not to mention, coming up with enough gimmicks and tricks to employ on a Macbook without boring the audience over the course of 90 minutes is a more difficult task than people probably realize. I think it gets dismissed because of the non-actors and, at the outset, it seems like a schmaltzy, b-rate, run-of-the-mill teen horror, but it's a lot smarter than that underneath. And sure, much of the technological prowess is embellished and/or stretched beyond existing limitations, but the idea that all of this """""could happen""""" and, even more so, to completely innocent people, is chilling enough for me.
NorwichScene 09.30.19	I watched Midsommar last night, it was just disturbingly good 6/10. Hereditary was so much better though 8/10 imo
butt. 09.30.19	yeah I had a lot more fun with Hereditary
artiswar 09.30.19	watched Midsommar multiple times recently and words can't describe how much i fucking loved that movie. might check the 3 hour director's cut tonight
budgie 09.30.19	"The entire film, in essence, unfolds on a computer screen. Not only is this unprecedented" i think you might have missed a film. i remember a lousy film shot entirely on that webcam thing from maybe around 2016
budgie 09.30.19	it was the den, 2013
budgie 09.30.19	ooh and megan is missing is from 2011. that was 80% webcam, 20% home video/news broadcast
Trifolium 09.30.19	Wow this list is still going budgie omg
NorwichScene 09.30.19	Directors cut 3 hours. 2 and a half hours was too much, should have been 2 hours max
butt. 09.30.19	is this gonna be the new Beer & Music list? let's break the record
tectactoe 09.30.19	budgie, I haven't seen THE DEN or MEGAN IS MISSING but even if you consider a film shot from the perspective of a "webcam", that's just a camera with a fixed position and lower quality. My point is that DARK WEB's perspective is that of an actual laptop screen. It has windows that contain feeds from other cameras, but the film itself unfolds as though you were staring at a Macbook screen essentially the entire time, task bar and desktop icons etc. visible except when a specific window is maximized momentarily. Considering the first time I saw this was a ripped copy, *on my Macbook*, that drastically added to the immersion. More so than I would expect it to.
budgie 09.30.19	yeah that's what i meant
Thalassic 09.30.19	So am I the only person on here who has seen that low-budget movie Pop Skull?
Winesburgohio 10.01.19	Midsommar is so much fun! Twisting the faux-anthropological trope to a place that isn't "other" / developing world but a place most viewers would construe as safe is such a great touch and also: idk i can't really justify it i just gained a lot of personal enjoyment from it although it's not, like, incredible. speaking of the scandies: Thelma, by Joachim Trier (gr8 director m8s) is fabulous, darling
budgie 10.01.19	"Thelma" is it even horror
artiswar 10.01.19	@wine once that homie runs out of that farmhouse butt-naked, the rest is pure ball-shrivelling horror
budgie 10.01.19	really the only bit that was scary was the last 5 minutes, when panic-stricken everyday-girl whom you might have dated IRL turns out to be a flipping psychocunt that shit is truly chilling. pure evil.
ramon. 10.01.19	hell yea midsommar hoo rah
artiswar 10.01.19	also during the nightmare sequence, that last shot of the dead sister opening her eyes is one of the most unsettling images I've ever seen.
budgie 10.01.19	yeah all the scene with the dead sister were legit scary. the entire suicide sequence toward the beginning was one of the best sequences in recent memory for the genre
unclereich 10.01.19	"Thelma" is it even horror probably more of a thriller than anything, but an AMAZING flick nonetheless
Chortles 10.01.19	yah I'm team Thelma too, I think it's something of an unsung masterpiece. Trier has done some amazing work, Oslo, 31. August bowled me over just as hard
unclereich 10.01.19	the greatest user in sput history just graced us with his presence :*)
Chortles 10.01.19	whoa. did not even register the name change until now. hey my dude
butt. 10.01.19	wait what was your name before unclereich lol
unclereich 10.01.19	don't worry about it
budgie 10.01.19	romulan rancor
unclereich 10.01.19	former name was oltnasdick
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.01.19	Gonna watch this Netflix horror bout tall GRASS. Spooky
budgie 10.01.19	what's it called, artiswar's mom? LOL!!!!!!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.01.19	HAH
unclereich 10.01.19	heh
budgie 10.01.19	"for the uninitiated shit would be rough" or for, you know, people who doesn't fetishize puke!
budgie 10.01.19	i don't even like anal
Winesburgohio 10.01.19	i have the poster for Oslo, 31. August on my wall lol, one of my favourites of all time
unclereich 10.02.19	Holy shit, 99% those albums have a 4 or higher on this site... So if you're showing my top ranked albums as a compliment to my tastes, I appreciate it!
rodrigo90 10.02.19	Which is that movie that static x sampled on stem? I read that it's pretty fucked up
Winesburgohio 10.02.19	it's not a horror but Snowtown is one of the most disquieting, troubling films i've seen and well worth your time
budgie 10.02.19	meetmeowsigh howbowdah
budgie 10.02.19	welcome to sbuttnik
artiswar 10.02.19	‘yeah all the scene with the dead sister were legit scary. The entire suicide sequence toward the beginning was one of the best sequences in recent memory for the genre’ Yeah the long tracking shot past her dead body to the computer screen followed by the same shot going past the girl crying, and out the window into the snowy night while the tribal drums and violins are going off. Fuck that was so good. Am watching the director’s cut rn. Also finally watched Climax and Enter The Void recently which were excellent for the most part. Need to rewatch Irreversible soon because it’s been nearly a decade and I barely remember it.
budgie 10.02.19	climax looks goofy but i enjoyed the fuck out of the void.
artiswar 10.02.19	it's pretty goofy but the long tracking shots are insaaaaaane, like nothing I've ever seen. Also the dance sequences are fucking nuts.
budgie 10.02.19	oh woops you said enter the void, i meant the void
artiswar 10.02.19	Never saw The Void, is it good. Enter The Void is like a bizarre first-person out-of-body experience type movie. The protagonist takes DMT in the first 10 minutes and the film actually simulates a real DMT trip. Definitely one of the most unique films I've ever seen (wouldn't call it horror exactly, but it's debatable I suppose).
budgie 10.02.19	"but i enjoyed the fuck out of the void. "
BAT 10.02.19	lol i skimmed thru noes 'love' the other week looked eggggh. mentioned it before but 'angst' is pretty solid and a huge influence on noes style, i stand alone and irreversible in particular. saw kill list and the childsplay remake the other day annnd; kill list was awesome for its lowbudget scale but not scary, the script/acting feels like oldschool exploitation but the new tech gives it sleak look. childs play got rid of the voodoo but the script was even more implausible than doriff movies, probably the best visually/acting wise yeet the writing didn't warrent the effort imo, it made me wanna give bride of chucky a rewatch. worth a try for fans of the series buuut i doubt it'll have any lasting impact on the franchises future. im tryna rent the jacobs ladder remake with a 3.9 on imdb, if anyone here hasnt seen jacobs ladder it's pretty good, an influence on silent hill
budgie 10.02.19	agreed about kill list, i think it's better categorized as thriller than horror, awesome film though. i loved the chucky remake as an evil dead type of comedy film. lots of good comedy in that film. lots of fun
BAT 10.02.19	i will admit to laughin my ass off everytime jack black popped up, need to give the evil dead remake a watch alsooo ash vs evilded
artiswar 10.02.19	first half of Jacob's Ladder is awesome but the ending ruined it imo
BAT 10.02.19	lol the final text crawl made me pissed buuut ignoring thaaat, it holds up pretty well and i dug it a lot more at my current age thaan when i was 12
budgie 10.02.19	"yeah chucky's facial expressions are unintentionally (i think???) hilarious " naw man the entire thing was pretty blatantly tongue in cheek, like... drag me to hell or something.
budgie 10.02.19	ya ive said further up in this thread aubrey plaza was out of place like a sore thumb. gore, kills, humor, were all super fun, loved it for that
Larkinhill 10.02.19	Child’s Play remake was trash. Evil Dead remake is legit one of the best horror movies of the past decade. And Jacob’s Ladder is in my top 10 of all time. One of the most disturbing and scary movies I’ve ever seen. All the jarring imagery is just Nightmare fuel.
budgie 10.02.19	"Child’s Play remake was trash." im gonna fight u irl
Larkinhill 10.02.19	You will lose.
Larkinhill 10.02.19	Evil Dead remake, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, The Witch and The Autopsy of Jane Doe are probably top 4 of the past decade. I’d have to double check, I may be forgetting some. Hereditary and Midsommar are excellent as well, but not as good as those. The Blackcoat’s Daughter is definitely number one. The whole vibe, sense of isolation and dread that was captured is just unparalleled. Stunning work. Such a scary ass movie, straight up.
artiswar 10.02.19	re: Jacob's Ladder, once you figure out what's happening, the horror element kind of goes down the drain. Evil Dead remake was surprisingly good, yeah. @BAT thoughts on Ari Aster and Gasper Noe?
artiswar 10.02.19	The Witch and Autopsy Of Jane Doe [2]
Larkinhill 10.02.19	Art you see Blackcoat’s Daughter yet? As far as Jacob’s Ladder goes, I’d say the exact opposite! The fact that it’s in his head and an internal struggle makes it even MORE terrifying. I mean, I was never really under the impression that the shit he was seeing throughout was real lol.
budgie 10.02.19	"Evil Dead remake, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, The Witch and The Autopsy of Jane Doe are probably top 4 of the past decade. " honestly can't argue with this list that much, they're all 4.5+/5 picks for me, with the blackcoat's daughter being maybe my all time favorite film. probably would squeeze scream 4 and banshee chapter up in there somewhere, though. and trollhunter. lake mungo just misses out from being 2008 release
BAT 10.02.19	i actually haven't seen hereditary or midsommar yet, miight rent the latter if its at a redbox. gasper noes a solid director and everything i've seen by him is interesting in its own way, the infamy of irreversible overshadows it's quality imo and i wouldn't really call him a shock artist, the average french-extreme flick outgraphics most of noes stuff but his work packs a lil more of a punch. scrolled thru that 'love' movie on pornhub annnd it honestly looked like boring arthouse porn. i've heard good things about climax but havent got a copy yet
BAT 10.02.19	also my problem with the jacobs ladder ending isnt the twist juuust the final crawl trying to have some biological warfare message when all the discussion of such warfare is just stuff inside the subconscious that the character couldn't know. honestly just a minor peeve but sticks out to me everytime
artiswar 10.02.19	No I haven't seen Blackcoat's Daughter but I'm adding it to the short-list. I haven't seen Love, is it actually porn haha? Enter The Void has like a 10 minute pornographic sequence that is quite interesting, so I wouldn't be too surprised. I recommend that one and Climax for any cinephile worth their salt. And for god's sake BAT, watch Hereditary and Midsommar!
Aerisavion 10.02.19	I can’t be bothered to sift through near 600 comments so I’m just going to rec We Are Still Here and hope for the best.
artiswar 10.02.19	god I miss the imdb boards
budgie 10.02.19	i don't think it's been mentioned! i saw that movie got a lot of praise but i didn't really care for it myself. i typically love anything with larry fessenden attached but that one was a big swing and a miss for me
budgie 10.02.19	"god I miss the imdb boards" i don't, what an awful toxic horrible fucking place lmfao. had happily forgotten about that shithole
ramon. 10.02.19	i too am adverse to ctrl f
artiswar 10.02.19	toxic but also good active discussion. At least in the horror threads. Got my hands on the black coat's daughter, gonna watch that tomorrow probably. Also might check We Are Still Here, thanks.
BAT 10.02.19	lmao i loved imdb prior till the amazon buyout, i don't recall ever reading a single positive post on imdb but i was also super into counter strike, 00s ultra edginess. i used to write reviews for movies i hadn't seen aswell
artiswar 10.02.19	hahahahaha you were part of the problem BAT
budgie 10.02.19	lol god damnit bat
BAT 10.02.19	yeppp. i still think godfathers better than shawshank redemption thoo. imdb ratings are useless now, everything in theaters had like a 7.6 for the past 5 years. gamespot/gamefaq was a sea of contrarians.
Larkinhill 10.02.19	Art definitely lemme know what you think of Blackcoat’s. I’ll check this thread for your thoughts.
tectactoe 10.02.19	IRREVERSIBLE is a masterpiece
Thalassic 10.02.19	I'm probably gonna watch The Blackcoat's Daughter today. Everybody here is telling that it's the best thing ever, so my interest is piqued. I'm sick as fuck tho and drowsy from the meds so I hope that won't cloud my judgement.
Thalassic 10.04.19	Finally got around to watching The Blackcoat's Daughter Definitely one of the more unnerving and dread-oozing flicks I've seen in a while
ramon. 10.04.19	Watched it too last night. Really enjoyed it's spin on the possession vein, though quite a few technical issues made it feel cheaper than it could have. Still had a blast with it, and the casting decision for young Kat was absolutely perfect.
artiswar 10.04.19	Been a bit sidetracked but I plan on watching it soon. I don't like Emma Roberts so this should be interesting.
butt. 10.04.19	watched Bone Tomahawk the other day, brutal shit! NoES2 & 3 last night
budgie 10.04.19	" and the casting decision for young Kat was absolutely perfect." yeah, kiernan shipka was flawless
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	I saw Haunt a few nights ago it sucked ass
budgie 10.04.19	creepshow episode 2 was crap saw it last night
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	I also saw cloverfield paradox out of boredom on Netflix last night it also sucked mega poppy asshole
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	I want to watch Piercing
butt. 10.04.19	"creepshow episode 2 was crap saw it last night" I know! Ugh I really liked the first episode, but that one just sucked ass. The character from the finger segment was just so cringe the entire time
butt. 10.04.19	I'm still gonna watch Haunt anyway, it's a generic premise but I eat that shit up
budgie 10.04.19	haunt was super fun for me. just pure low budget popcorn awesomeness.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	Theres a bunch of recent horrors and thrillers on google play that I'm unsure about. Any of u seen ma, Greta, escape room, summer of 84 or whatever, brightburn etc?
budgie 10.04.19	i actually really enjoyed ma. escape room didn't bother finishing. summer of 84 has some fans but i was bored and didn't finish, seemed even too amateur for my tastes. brightburn i'm probably not going to bother with because i can't stand superhero crap
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	Or satanic panic, crawl, ready or not, upgrade, pet cemetary remake, or revenge?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	Crimson peak?
budgie 10.04.19	satanic panic was fucking terrible. felt like there was some smart input in the script but it was crowded out by cringey writers and the entire thing was just awful. just fucking awful. crawl was meh even for a creature feature was pretty boring. ready or not i still need to watch but that samara actor irritates me. upgrade wasn't horror, watch it if you think the matrix is cool. pet sematary i haven't seen yet. revenge was pretty cool but really artsy and i could see lots of people not digging it. from everything you've listed so far, revenge is probably the best, unfortunately
butt. 10.04.19	crimson peak - found it kinda boring upgrade - fucking awesome, watch it pet sematary - better than it should be. 6/10 haven't seen crawl but it got pretty good reviews surprisingly. I'll get around to summer of 84 and brightburn eventually
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	dude yeah bargain bin margot robbie aka samara whatever sucks yeah
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	k ill watch ma, upgrade, pet cemetary and revenge and forget the ones you mentioned as shit
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	i do not think the matrix is cool tho lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	what about the ranger
budgie 10.04.19	i was laughing my ass off at the ranger toward the end. gave it a 1/5 i think
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	Lol kk
butt. 10.04.19	I don't like the matrix either but I loved upgrade. I was extra impressed because it's Leigh Whannell's directorial debut. He played Adam in Saw
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	The characters in saw had names?
butt. 10.04.19	wut
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	Lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	going to see joker tomorrow night pretty excite been meaning to see it chapter 2 but kept putting it off and now one clown movie will have to substitute for another
unclereich 10.04.19	yea there's no way I'd see something that long in theaters, plus chapter 1 was super underwhelming
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	i liked chapter 1, even if mostly just for pennywise. i could watch skarsgaard talk and do weirdn creepy face shit as pennywise forever
butt. 10.04.19	yeah he delivers in pt 2. but it is helllla long stoked for Joker
budgie 10.04.19	i fucking loved chapter 1, idk if i've even read any opinions of chapter 2 yet other than my buddy who's not a horror fan. he said it was meh or something
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	yeah im probably just gonna wait for it on netflix at this point.
Chortles 10.04.19	It Chapter 2 is honestly one of the worst things I've seen in a long time, and I actually liked the first chapter. it just felt so cynical and overlong and completely lacking any of the charm that the previous film had. they totally fucked it. wait for it to stream then put it on while you're cooking or something tbh
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	sad news
budgie 10.04.19	that's what they GET for not casting emily PERKINS
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	Whomily Whatkins?
Rolling Girl 10.04.19	Taking of Deborah Logan
Chortles 10.04.19	i think a lot of the reception to it has been pretty middling tho so hey, maybe you guys won't have as violent of a reaction to it as i did lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	I saw a gif from that movie with the creepy lady sucking on a child's head and it gave me the ol jitters
budgie 10.04.19	"Whomily Whatkins?" she played the little girl in the IT with tim curry. and she played in ginger snaps
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.04.19	She ain't even ginjie

JeetJeet 10.04.19	also 666th comment ayyyyeeeeeeeeee
budgie 10.04.19	damn fuckin snaked that 666th
artiswar 10.05.19	watched The Blackcoat's Daughter finally. The twist threw me off so hard I had to rewind like 20 minutes, I did not see that coming. It was really good though, and that girl was creepy af.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.05.19	Gonna watch the thing this weekend never seem it lol
JeetJeet 10.05.19	BRUHHHHH The Thing is classic lol you're gonna love it.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.05.19	Yeah I've been thinking of utilizing this october to catch up on all the obvious shit I've never seen like that, jaws, and like... every carpenter and cronenberg movie ever
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.05.19	Last halloween was the first time I ever watched the original halloween even
budgie 10.05.19	yo youre going to love jaws. holy shit dude
budgie 10.05.19	nice art, best movie of 21st century!
TheNotrap 10.05.19	I finally saw Herditary, despite its subtlety, Charlie's death was one of the best horror moments I've seen lately. 7/10
Thalassic 10.05.19	I saw Noroi: The Curse last night. Definitely recommended. It's a Japanese found footage flick but the story is reasonably complex and as a whole it's highly atmospheric. I wasn't outright terrified while watching it, but there's a feeling of dread still lingering on after watching it.
budgie 10.06.19	fuckin cant pick anything to watch
Uzumaki 10.06.19	You’re not allowed to say that...
butt. 10.06.19	Charlie's death + mom's reaction is the best horror moment of at least the last 10 years, that I can think of. Just jaw-dropping, in multiple ways
budgie 10.06.19	meh, i say, meh i liked the mom's reaction in excision more
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.06.19	No budgie, Charlie's death and mom reaction were amazing
budgie 10.06.19	i thought u werent talking to me anymo
Egarran 10.06.19	Has Fire In The Sky been mentioned yet? Scary abduction ftw. Charlie's death +1
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.06.19	shut up im not talking to u budgie
artiswar 10.06.19	@Thalassic Noroi sounds really cool, I’m adding it to the list. I binged a bunch of horror recently. Ghostland - Not as brilliant/brutal as Martyrs but way better than The Tall Man, Pascal Laugier’s latest film is a welcome return to form. The doll-room scene was scary as hell. The Perfection - Uhh, that was a movie. Not sure if it was good or terrible, but it was an experience… Don’t watch a trailer, just watch the film. Last Shift - Solid ghost-story with some disturbing imagery but too many jump-scares and nothing too groundbreaking. A Dark Song - solid slow-burn spin on the haunted house genre with an art-house twist. The Void - awesome practical effects, got some very pleasant The Thing vibes but the story/characters were pretty annoying.
budgie 10.06.19	a dark song was fuckin awesoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooome ghostland was almost sweet, have you ever read the short story celephais from lovecraft? was so similar but they threw it away at the end
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.06.19	the void was interesting all right lmao
Egarran 10.06.19	The Void is a classic 3/5 movie.
artiswar 10.06.19	Compared to Martyrs, Ghostland was really sweet yeah. Practically a happy ending.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.06.19	pretty much
budgie 10.06.19	if they ended the story where she wakes up at the party as her adult self and decided to stay with the fake fantasy life, that would have been awesome.
budgie 10.06.19	the ending of the perfection was retardo bizarro. wtf was that shit? who wrote that? i can only picture some 13 year old writing down "and then they team up out of nowhere and a rap track starts playing and they KICK his ass!!"
budgie 10.06.19	poot have you seen a dark song?
artiswar 10.06.19	*spoiler for The Perfection* she was trying to team up with her the whole time, she had to do something very drastic because the other girl was getting brainwashed by the cult and would never leave willingly. The jealous rival angle at the beginning was a complete misdirect, and the final image of them playing cello to the human-potato was pretty sweet.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.06.19	I have not
budgie 10.07.19	art ur a dumbo
artiswar 10.07.19	budgie ur the elephant man
budgie 10.07.19	best song ever
Rev 10.07.19	im late but og suspiria is the best film ever and the remake is also perfect
Thalassic 10.07.19	OG Suspiria is one of my faves I should give the remake another go Also, The Void was very 3/5, agreed
butt. 10.07.19	damn 700 comments.
artiswar 10.07.19	OG Suspiria is GOAT, yeah. Remake is great as well but for very different reasons.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.07.19	Og suspiria is overrated, remake underrated
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.07.19	Not to say og isnt a classic in it's own rights but beyond set pieces and visuals it's pretty hilarious
Pikazilla 10.07.19	hello budgie
artiswar 10.07.19	People who really like Suspiria remake should watch Climax and Midsommar. Gotta love the crazy dance horror.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.07.19	Havent seen climax but yeah I adored midsommar
artiswar 10.07.19	there's 2 hyper-technical group dance sequences in the first 30 minutes of Climax, shit is wild... and that's BEFORE the hallucinogens kick in.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.07.19	Colour me intrigued
Gyromania 10.07.19	Currently watching Marianne. Seems decent so far. The scene in the living room with her friend on the phone to what she thought was a first responder was actually a great scare.
Gyromania 10.07.19	Anyone else checking out Marianne as well? Does it stay good throughout? Hill House was my fixation last year but it after episode 4 or 5 it really went to shit. Hoping this show doesn't
budgie 10.07.19	pls dont spoil it for me ;0
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.07.19	Yeah I watched like 3 episodes of hill house and was out
budgie 10.07.19	i watched the entire thing for carla gugino
TheNotrap 10.07.19	Marianne is more interesting, in my opinion
Larkinhill 10.08.19	What?! Hill House was amazing from front to back! If you didn’t even finish it, you’re doing yourself a huge disservice. One of my favorite shows.
Larkinhill 10.08.19	Yeah, Midsommar is fantastic. Og suspiria is overrated, remake underrated I agree with this, though I still really like the OG Suspiria. But I don’t think it’s some masterpiece or anything. And the remake is great. Very underrated yes.
Gyromania 10.08.19	Loved the Suspiria remake. Hill House had amazing atmosphere and scares and then took a nosedive in the 2nd half. They completely eliminated the fear and atmosphere and made it about their ability to triumph over evil and I found it got kind of cheesy and far less scary as it went. One of those things that's better shrouded in mystery imo.
budgie 10.08.19	and the directing style where every piece of dialogue was a monologue got pretty grating
Larkinhill 10.08.19	You’re both wrong. You DO know that, don’t you?
budgie 10.08.19	i mean i enjoyed all the episodes for the most part. but i don't think it was perfect. carla gugino was, though
Gyromania 10.08.19	yeah the monologuing was taxing. every time somebody went to speak it was this long drawn out story. reminded me of the really long character ramblings that a show like breaking bad had, except without the depth or nuance. also thought the head demoness (or w.e she was) was really underwhelming and not at all scary.
unclereich 10.08.19	Og suspiria is overrated, remake underrated ard hrd
tectactoe 10.08.19	'Og suspiria is overrated, remake underrated' Both incredibly overrated tbh.
butt. 10.08.19	but you also like Unfriended more than Hereditary, so it's hard for me to have any faith in your opinions! haha
JeetJeet 10.08.19	More people need to watch The Void. Such a batshit crazy ass movie. Love the monster designs and the body horror.
JeetJeet 10.08.19	and watch APOSTLE too! FUCK
budgie 10.08.19	apostle was overlong imo
JeetJeet 10.08.19	Definitely agree that it didn't need to be that long but when it really gets going its pretty fire
budgie 10.08.19	i liked lucy boynton :)
tectactoe 10.08.19	my dude DARK WEB is the dark horse of 2018. more ambitious than people realize!
butt. 10.08.19	Apostle really let me down. Trailer looked wild but it just never really did anything for me. The Void was cooler than I was expecting
budgie 10.08.19	you guys like southbound? have an itch to rewatch
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.08.19	Tectatoe you have the worst opinions I've ever seen
budgie 10.08.19	hey pots it chpt 2 hd is out. has some hardcoded korean subtitles but they arent too distracting
tectactoe 10.08.19	'Tectatoe you have the worst opinions I've ever seen' Likely seems that way due to your comparatively pigeonholed exposure to movies. Apologies for not joining into the massive Aster-Peele faux-arty circle jerk happening here. Maybe....get better taste? I dunno.
budgie 10.08.19	gentlemen, gentlemen, please, this is a place of friendship
butt. 10.08.19	southbound is hit or miss. a couple decent segments, a couple bad ones. the first one has some extremely embarrassing CGI
budgie 10.08.19	ah the first one is with the float demons. i had forgotten about some of these segments i guess, but mannnn the one with the accident, that is top notch horror.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.08.19	@tec nah dude you are just the type who needs to flex not liking anything that has any sort of decent reception as an ego thing and it's super transparent
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.08.19	Nobody here has great things to say about peele btw but cute strawman
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.08.19	Ur shit opinions and cunt attitude about em extends far beyond movies btw
artiswar 10.08.19	Southbound is pretty good. Still need to check Apostle.
tectactoe 10.08.19	i like plenty of things that have decent/good reception, Ari Aster is just an ass director lmao. nice try, though! some people simply can't handle differentiating opinions that go below surface level pleasures. big oof. (and your 'argument' is weak, anyway, given that e.g. Midsommar doesn't even have a decent reception as far as online/aggregate scores are concerned...so...??? try again?)
artiswar 10.08.19	uhh, gonna need to see your math on that one
butt. 10.08.19	midsommar has 7.3 on imdb, 72 on metacritic, and 83% on RT. what on earrrrth are you talking about. there's not a single place where the score isn't at the very least "decent"
budgie 10.08.19	who's everyone's favorite scream queen? neve campbell, right?
butt. 10.08.19	JLC bro...
tectactoe 10.08.19	'midsommar has 7.3 on imdb' i thought it was lower than this, but i should've known...the A24 rimming is worse than ever. even still, the point stands: i like plenty of movies with much higher ratings and plenty with much lower ratings. my tastes correlate neither negatively nor positively with general or critical consensus because i am a sentient being who forms my own opinion. so essentially we've got someone making widespread claims based on relatively few data points simply because some other person on the internet's taste doesn't align with theirs. what is this, 2004? lmao. sad.
butt. 10.08.19	most of my fav horror movies are in the 6-7 range anyway so it's kind of irrelevant. I mean Dark Web has a 5.9 after all, since we're comparing
budgie 10.08.19	i think blackcoats daughter is 4.something on imdb so it all means shit to me
butt. 10.08.19	5.9, but yeah
butt. 10.08.19	the one i dont understand is Honeymoon at a 5.7 that movie is so good wtf
budgie 10.08.19	i def saw it at 4 something at some point honeymoon i love to death but i would understand general audiences not liking it b/c of the well i can't really discuss it spoilers
tectactoe 10.08.19	'I mean Dark Web has a 5.9 after all, since we're comparing' right, that's his point, he thinks i'm professing my love for it simply because it has a lower rating (and vice versa re my distaste for Midsommar) in some feign at being edgy or something, i dunno. 'so it all means shit to me' precisely. that was kind of my overarching point, though i probably didn't make it clear enough. and piggybacking on all of this, horror movies always seem to score lower, on the whole, than most other genres. a lot of that is because there are droves of absolute trash - horror films are some of the easiest to effectively make with a relatively low budget, not to mention all the people trying (and failing) to purposely re-create a specific level of schlock - and i think people kind of go into horror films with a bit of subconscious skepticism whether they realize it or not. horror films are also susceptible to some of the most retarded characters and plot contrivances in history, too, so that's not doing the genre any favors.
tectactoe 10.08.19	i know at one time mother! was a 5.9, shortly after release. it's back up to 6.6 which is good but imo still too low. that's still the best film i saw in 2017.
budgie 10.08.19	oh i started mother the other night but lawrence fuckin is hard to handle should i soldier thru it
butt. 10.08.19	mother is fantastic
Larkinhill 10.08.19	Looked up Apostle and it sounds fantastic. Love cult-y stuff, love the two lead actors, love the director. Is it streaming on Netflix? If not, where are you all watching it?
tectactoe 10.08.19	i hate jennifer lawrence, too, but i actually think she's pretty great in that movie. (her two career highlights are that and 'Winter's Bone' from 2010.) the movie itself is awesome though. it's like a slowly tightening tension rod that just snaps in the final thirty minutes into pure mayhem. some people balk at the religious text but i think that's kind of a smokescreen from Aronofsky. there's something else being said about the creative process of an artist. either way, it's so good from a superficial level that subtext doesn't matter much here.
unclereich 10.08.19	anything over a 6 for a horror movie is really solid by imdb standards
Larkinhill 10.08.19	And yeah, mother is definitely worth your time.
butt. 10.08.19	"anything over a 6 for a horror movie is really solid by imdb standards" [2] maybe even 5.5 tbh
unclereich 10.08.19	maybe by case to case, but I wouldn't use that as a generality. apostle wasn't too bad actually, southbound was delicious
budgie 10.08.19	southbound has the coolest sinister surreal vibe to it. the idea is they were all in hell i guess? i can't remember much
Thalassic 10.08.19	Haven't watched Southbound yet. Any good?
JeetJeet 10.08.19	I still think Annihilation is one of the best horror flicks to come out recently but niggas sleep on it. Seeing the bear scene in a theater almost had me shitting bricks.
JeetJeet 10.08.19	Overlord was pretty cool too even tho it had a couple flaws
budgie 10.08.19	"Haven't watched Southbound yet. Any good?" probably the best anthology out there this century so far except maybe trick'r'treat if you consider that an anthology. one of the segments alone makes it a must watch i didn't really like annihilation very much nor do i consider it a horror movie
butt. 10.08.19	annihilation was one of my top movies of the year. excellent horror/sci-fi, bear scene was unforgettable
budgie 10.08.19	cmon 800 posts baby
butt. 10.08.19	we'll get to 1000 by halloween easily
butt. 10.08.19	I'm just so glad that horror is a topic worth 800 comments in this here town
budgie 10.08.19	yeah i didnt realize a bunch of us were horror nuts p cool
Larkinhill 10.08.19	Agreed on Annihilation. Great movie. The end was trippy as shit and the bear scene was insanely intense.
artiswar 10.09.19	Annihilation was pretty uneven but the bear scene was fucking unnerving and the ending was like a full-on Tool video.
Egarran 10.09.19	Annoying reader here: Annihilation is the first book in the Southern Reach trilogy and it is a very good little book, worth reading - BUT the two next are TERRIBLE. “The map had been the first form of misdirection, for what is a map but a way of emphasizing some things and making other things invisible?”
Jasdevi087 10.09.19	lol I'm glad everyone agrees about the bear scene in annhilation i thought about that for a week aftrrwards
butt. 10.09.19	the noise it makes....horror perfection
budgie 10.09.19	i saw it chapter 2 last night. thought it was fantastic
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.09.19	Anguished bear-lady screams were unhinged loved it. Saw the new movie about the spooky tall grass and the ugly rock it was ridiculous but actually pretty entertaining lol
Thalassic 10.09.19	Ended up watching Southbound last night. I liked it. Wasn't scary or creepy at all. More like 90 minutes of whacked out shit. And I do like me some whacked out shit.
budgie 10.09.19	how good was the accidenta/hospital segment!
Thalassic 10.09.19	LMAO yeah "now press the lung"
artiswar 10.09.19	I'm determined to watch at least 1 horror per night for the rest of the month so feel free to throw out some beloved deep cuts everybody.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.09.19	anyone seen piercing? trailer looked trippy, im curious about it
budgie 10.09.19	here art some picks to consider, all approved by me: murder party killer klowns from outer space the blob (1988) the night sitter banshee chapter night of the creeps what we become the tunnel borderlands night of the demons II honeymoon 2014 beast bad match cemetery man the battery don't kill it the conspiracy pledge witching & bitching they look like people the clovehitch killer housebound late phases zombeavers the house on sorority row (both)
JeetJeet 10.09.19	"anyone seen piercing? trailer looked trippy, im curious about it" Yup. Saw it months ago. Had very high hopes for it. Shit ended up being trash. Aesthetically its awesome but its such an incoherent mess of a movie.
JeetJeet 10.09.19	Also saw It Chapter 2 today and I didn't hate it. In fact I'm curious as to why so many people dislike it, cus it really just felt like a longer version of the 2017 movie. Also Skaarsgawd absolutely killed it as Pennywise.
artiswar 10.09.19	budgie I haven't heard of like 85% of those. And I haven't seen IT 2 and I don't plan to, the first one was garbage. I have no doubt this new one is trash as well. Just read the fucking novel, it's god-tier King and can't really be adapted.
budgie 10.09.19	dude i already want to rewatch it 2 even though it's nearly 3 hrs long. fuckin bill hader dude!
artiswar 10.09.19	Gonna finally watch Lake Mungo soon, just waiting for the mockumentary mood to strike.
budgie 10.09.19	aw yeeeeah hope you fall in the camp that loves the film cause it has plenty of haters (booo)
artiswar 10.09.19	yeah arthouse horror tends to be really divisive, and I can see why. I fucking loved your rec The Blackcoat's Daughter though, so I have a feeling I'll like Lake Mungo.
budgie 10.09.19	hmmm i don't think it's right to call lake mungo arthouse. check it & get back to me
Larkinhill 10.10.19	You mofos have seen Don’t Look Now, right? Classic 70s horror movie with Donald Sutherland. Set in Venice Italy and absolutely cloaked with atmosphere and dread. One of my all time favorites, but pretty underrated considering half the people I mention it to have never even heard of it (I swiftly cut these people out of my life).
Larkinhill 10.10.19	Also — It 2 wasn’t bad, but still pretty disappointing. I also fairly liked It 1 (bought on blu Ray), but it’s also disappointing. The reason? Neither are scary in the slightest. They’re entertaining as hell, well written, well acted...but they aren’t fucking scary! Considering the book is one of the most frightening books out there, the lack of scares aspect disappoints the hell out of me. And Lake Mungo — it’s solid. It’s no Blackcoat’s Daughter but it’s decent. For anybody who hasn’t seen it, check out Eden Lake.
budgie 10.10.19	i think lake mungo is the greatest film ever made
Larkinhill 10.10.19	Nah. But it’s damn good. Haven’t watched it in a minute.
Rowan5215 10.10.19	IT 2 was good, overhated for sure and Bill Hader was absolutely perfect casting (anyone who hasn't seen Barry yet is slackin)
BAT 10.10.19	i actually haven't seen many of those besides like the blob, killer clowns, cemetary man, and night of the creeps. i wanna see murder party now cuz i finally saw the green room the other day, twas really good i like it. i've heard of dont look now for ages but never got around to it, iirc nicholas roegg made it, performance and roundabout(**walkabout) are pretty out there tho. also rewatched og suspiria and it still slaps, have the new one laying around buut the runtime is a lil daunting
Larkinhill 10.10.19	IT 2 was good, overhated for sure and Bill Hader was absolutely perfect casting (anyone who hasn't seen Barry yet is slackin) Yeah Hader was fantastic. I’ve heard great things about Barry but haven’t watched yet (but I have HBO so I really have no excuse). I wouldn’t say it was good, but it was alright. Worth seeing and entertaining but not particularly memorable.
Larkinhill 10.10.19	. i wanna see murder party now cuz i finally saw the green room the other day, twas really good i like it. i've heard of dont look now for ages but never got around to it, iirc nicholas roegg made it, performance and roundabout are pretty out there tho. Yeah Don’t Look Now is Roeg. And it’s excellent. Man, fuck Murder Party. It’s alright and all but — WATCH BLUE RUIN!!! Green Room is solid, but Blue Ruin is a masterpiece. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
Larkinhill 10.10.19	Did anybody see Ready Or Not? Damn good movie.
Gyromania 10.10.19	Marianne ended up being pretty w.e. Another Netflix show that starts out with the best intentions and some cool setups and ends up falling miles behind in its second half
Gyromania 10.10.19	Also I find the It movies scarier than the book. The book is pretentious af imo but then I've always found King to be a boring writer.
Larkinhill 10.10.19	Also I find the It movies scarier than the book. The book is pretentious af imo but then I've always found King to be a boring writer. 😂😂🤧🤧☹️☹️🤢🤢🤮🤮
BAT 10.10.19	i've only read thru the shinning but id describe his style as 'pageturners', generally very straightforward kinda like reading a newspaper article. i liked the movie better
Egarran 10.10.19	I've read Cujo and Desperation. 5/10 books. Oh and the Shawshank story, before it was cool.
butt. 10.10.19	@budgie the original house on sorority row is so damn good! Super underrated slasher. Also planning on re-watching Night of the Creeps sometime this week. Last night I watched The Halloween Tree and before work this morning I did some Goosebumps thanks to Netflix lolol
unclereich 10.10.19	goosebumps did not age well lol
butt. 10.10.19	fuck right off! it was made for kids so obviously there was no budget. The 90s charm is totally there for me, especially both Haunted Mask episodes.
Thalassic 10.10.19	"Marianne ended up being pretty w.e." Marianne started off with an 8/10 first episode, but gradually ended up with an overall 4/10.
BAT 10.10.19	i was more of a 'are you afraid of the dark' kid than goosebumps, orr they both blur together and idk
budgie 10.10.19	TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE
butt. 10.10.19	Tales from the Crypt > Darkside
unclereich 10.10.19	The great pumpkin >
budgie 10.10.19	you know i never watched tales from the crypt, other than the movie demon knight
budgie 10.10.19	holy fucks there are 7 seasons
butt. 10.10.19	yeah dude, but the fucker is like $70 on bluray. I've only seen a handful of episodes but they were pretty good
Larkinhill 10.10.19	I stayed up many a late nights as a wee one, binging Crypt on HBO and Darkside. Was especially obsessed with Crypt. HBO would sometimes show a bunch of eps late at night and my god, did my kid self get excited lol. Yeah I’m with butt on Goosebumps. It’s cheesy, but I can still definitely watch and enjoy them (my daughter watched all the episodes on Netflix a few years ago).
Eons 10.10.19	avoid lame mainstream movies and watch more abstract creepy films like Eraserhead
Eons 10.10.19	eraserhead might not immediately scare you but you won't forget the movie after watching it. The vibe that David Lynch captures in the film is menacing and it's always present. Even during simple dinner scenes, there's this menacing music playing and you always feel that something bad is going to happen but it's not predictable. It creates anxiety. Very interesting film.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.10.19	Eraserhead is great sure but there is a space for easy-viewing. Not everything needs to be surreal, draining to fill your life with one type of energy.
butt. 10.10.19	Sorry I thought Eraserhead was dumb as shit. I mean I somewhat enjoyed it, but Lynch was definitely just stroking himself and make weirdness for the sake of weirdness just to be "artsy". If you trimmed the fat, that movie could easily be 30 mins long. Maybe I'll give it another watch in a couple years and see if I feel any differently
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.10.19	Sometimes you just want something light and less demanding
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.10.19	Calling lynch stuff weirdness for the sake of being weird is bewilderingly off-base
budgie 10.10.19	i'd rather watch killer klowns from outerspace than eraserhead anyday
butt. 10.10.19	and basically what pots said. I like old abstract movies like Haxan (1922), and I like generic 80s slashers. There's a place for everything.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.10.19	That movie is his most personal work and it's all about his fears of being a father, the last thing it is is "weird just for the sake of it"
Eons 10.10.19	not me, i get extremely bored with films unless they're interesting or abstract. there's far too many ''teenagers lost in the woods'' films out there and to criticize abstract films seem bizarre to me.
Eons 10.10.19	the only good teenagers lost in the woods film is the Evil Dead films.
unclereich 10.10.19	did you hate joker because it didn't have any deep allegory underscoring the main story?
Eons 10.10.19	actually yeah i prefer reading comic books to watching the films. Or I'll watch the old Cartoons like x men, spiderman, etc. I find the movies made based on those were shite.
budgie 10.10.19	"the only good teenagers lost in the woods film is the Evil Dead films." u sound boring
budgie 10.10.19	"actually yeah i prefer reading comic books " o ur just a loser
Eons 10.10.19	you watch garbage, not my fault.
unclereich 10.10.19	being autistic isn't a crime budgie
Trifolium 10.10.19	I'm watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with my bf. Does that count?
Eons 10.10.19	budgie is undeserving of that cute baby bird avatar
budgie 10.10.19	ohhhhhhh trifolium has joined the game!
Trifolium 10.10.19	Yessssssssssssssss. I was here before but I don't ever watch horror movies so there was nothing for me to add. Now there's gore and slashing every evening. Super silly but it is a classic.
budgie 10.10.19	you watching the film or tv show?
unclereich 10.10.19	Buffy is an all time great agrd and that little vampire after the credits roll at the end lol
Trifolium 10.10.19	What would a real horror connoisseur like you have to say about such a pedestrian yet fun series?
Trifolium 10.10.19	The TV show. Haha yeah that vampire, the hand drawn one right? It's awesome.
unclereich 10.10.19	yep lolol ERRRG ARRRG I haven't heard that sound in over a decade but I remember it like yesterday
Trifolium 10.10.19	Hahaha! Love it. I've never seen that show before, we're only three episodes in at the moment but it feels lovable and super 90s. Which means weird choices that work wonderfully.
unclereich 10.10.19	yea it really was a brilliant show for the time, I haven't seen it since it last aired but im sure it still holds up. I think I saw every episode in order as a kid growing up, every Tuesday night I think lol
budgie 10.10.19	i loved the tv show when i was in middle school. haven't seen it since then but i do have some recollections of some episodes which stood out, maybe. one at the zoo, and one with creepy floating guys who knock on doors and stole voices or something. been too long!!
Trifolium 10.10.19	So much weird shit happened in just those first few episodes that I can only imagine where they're going with this. I mean, a cheerleader burst into flames during audition and the crowd didn't even care! What the hell!!! It's very cute, we've downloaded all seven seasons haha!
budgie 10.10.19	it make my lil bird heart flutter to know that triffy is watching horror
Egarran 10.10.19	Yeah Buffy is great. As a librarian I can verify that Rupert Giles gives a very realistic portrayal of our craft. Never got on to Angel though.
budgie 10.10.19	oh shit giles is the man
artiswar 10.10.19	Angel had some great stuff but it's even more inconsistent than Buffy if that's even possible. The final season was reallllllly interesting, it's basically about the good guys becoming the villains.
artiswar 10.10.19	budgie can you please just make a pt 2 of this thread? I'm getting carpal tunnel from scrolling down on my phone every time
budgie 10.10.19	well i was gonna but now that i know it causes u pain i won't
artiswar 10.10.19	fine dickweed, once I watch Lake Mungo I just won't bother commenting ;-)
Gyromania 10.10.19	"Marianne started off with an 8/10 first episode, but gradually ended up with an overall 4/10." Agreed. When they first got to her hometown I was like "look at the design of this place, with that lighthouse in the background" looked like the perfect location. Really great cinematography in the former half too. It just blows my mind how these showrunners make such an awesome foundation and then completely shit the bed by the midway point. They added too much "humour" to it and the ending was just totally cliche and unsatisfying. Earlier in the season when her friend takes that call in the house and it ends up being Marianne standing in the corner was a legitimate scare. O thought they were going to stick by that supernatural formula to create some good scares.
budgie 10.10.19	fine, penispolyp
Rowan5215 10.11.19	glad we all agree Buffy is the greatest show of all time. it's 100% worth watching Angel for the crossovers, which are cool and done well, and the last season which is the best of either show
budgie 10.11.19	hbo rome is the greatest show of all time!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	just here to disagree that buffy is the thing rowan is sayin
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	joss whedon can rub his stupid head in my sweaty armpit for all i care

Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	dude u werent supposed to tell
artiswar 10.11.19	top 5 Buffy and Angel episodes, go
EyesWideShut 10.11.19	just wanted to say It Comes at Night is trash.. The worst kind of "artsy horror" flick when I literally guess the ending 30 mins into it. Hard pass for me. But ima watch Maniac (1980) with my mon Joe Spinell
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	it comes at night was one of the most instantly forgettable, predictable, trope-infested horror flicks i've ever seen
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	it was so forgettable that i literally forgot i had seen it until i walked in the room while my roommate was watching it and was like "oh yeah i've seen this i guess"
budgie 10.11.19	jeez pots is there anything you dont hate
EyesWideShut 10.11.19	lmao you forgot you seen it until you remembered you seen it haha Ima peep that Midsommar too, need a few horror flicks for de season
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	Yeah all the movies I said I liked and also the ~6000 ratings above a 2.5 I have
Gyromania 10.11.19	Maniac is hot trash
tectactoe 10.11.19	IT COMES AT NIGHT is great y’all trippin’. EWS I expected better from you.
artiswar 10.11.19	Midsommar is liiiiiiiiit, Mark = most relatable character
Rowan5215 10.11.19	It Comes at Night rules, the dream scenes in that are some of the tensest and best-directed horror of the last couple years ending sucked hard tho
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	Lmao is mark the vape bro
butt. 10.11.19	It comes at night was a big disappointment. One of those movies that suffered from misleading marketing. It just went nowhere.
JeetJeet 10.11.19	Mark was a douche lol
JeetJeet 10.11.19	Christian was the worst tho fuck that nigga for life
JeetJeet 10.11.19	Pelle was dirty mackin the whole movie so fuck him too
budgie 10.11.19	only char in the entire film that wasnt insufferable was josh
budgie 10.11.19	and i guess the british couple
butt. 10.11.19	Budgie you watch new Creepshow episode yet?
budgie 10.11.19	ep 3?
budgie 10.11.19	thanks for the heads up i am downloading now
artiswar 10.11.19	whaa?? Josh was a pretentious douche, Mark was the real homie. Christian sucked but he did sport an impressive hog.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	Mark was good comic relief lol. Josh sucked and christian... well it was hard not to feel sorry for him by the end
budgie 10.11.19	josh was just a harmless normal person that wanted to work on his thesis christian was a little bitch mark was obnoxious and seriously insufferable but the only one who deserved to die was dani
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	Now that's what I call a hot take
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	I bet ur like christian
budgie 10.11.19	the char u most remind me of is the inbred retard
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	thats not very PC
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	explain to me how dani deserved to die without sounding like a sociopath GO
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	and without revealing that you are secretly Christian in relationships
artiswar 10.11.19	cause she's a woman
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	budgie misogynist confirmed all the memes about midsommar are true
budgie 10.11.19	"explain to me how dani deserved to die" idk if i really want to spoil it so much for everyone reading. she's the only one in the foreigner group who was in the end complicit in all the horror
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	hmm well hard to be complicit when ur dead
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	obvious explanations aside christian was complicit with his gross sex scene too and up until she completely cracked she was often times one of the least complicit, and you know, it only took being drugged, broken, brainwashed, traumatised, and utterly betrayed to get her there
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	sociopathic take is still sociopathic
artiswar 10.11.19	that's really culturally insensitive budgie
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	^what josh would say non-complicity of course
artiswar 10.11.19	budgie racist and sexist confirmed
budgie 10.11.19	w/e you guys are peanuts. just like dani. you and dani are all peanut heads
Lord(e)Po)))ts 10.11.19	ur fuckin #cancelled m8
artiswar 10.11.19	lmao budgie you are the worst human being, just make a new thread already
budgie 10.11.19	i'm not a human being i'm a bird
JeetJeet 10.11.19	Budgie is Sweet Dee
Trifolium 10.11.19	"it make my lil bird heart flutter to know that triffy is watching horror" < 33333333 We were done with Desperate Housewives so we needed something new to watch. This totally satisfies our need for that tongue in cheek, laconic, silly humour.
artiswar 10.11.19	once in flight school I was laconic
budgie 10.11.19	hi laconic im budgie
Trifolium 10.11.19	I meant to say "onderkoeld" but this was the closest translation I could think of. It's kind of alright isn't it?
artiswar 10.11.19	hi Todd I'm Tucker
budgie 10.11.19	onderkoeld means hypothermia? i don't know that anyone uses hypothermic as a character trait in english. i guess it could work but it sounds real fanciful and poetic
Trifolium 10.11.19	Yeah it means that too, but we also use it when people respond disproportionately relaxed or are unimpressed by weird or scary things happening to them. Very Buffy and Housewives.
artiswar 10.11.19	mind blown Trif
Trifolium 10.11.19	Well good. Then my day's work has been finished at breakfast already. BACK TO BED!!!
budgie 10.30.19	finished up stranger things aaaaaaaaaaaaand i don't think i'm a fan
budgie 10.30.19	is the 2002 carrie any good? it's on amazon prime idk what to watch
Larkinhill 10.30.19	Nah it’s pretty shitty man.
naughtcturnal 10.30.19	Argento's Deep Red if not for the soundtrack alone. Features a pretty cool gory scene at the end. Not creepy whatsoever though. Actually kind of unintentionally goofy
fogza 10.30.19	Does anyone remember that b grade Lovecraft movie necronomicon?
Egarran 10.30.19	Nope. But right now I'm reading Sherlock Holmes and the Necronomicon by Cordurie. It's ok. The previous crossover I read was Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham. It's mediocre.
butt. 10.30.19	hol' up. there's a 2002 carrie?
fogza 10.30.19	I'll avoid that then Eg.
budgie 10.30.19	there's a black and white lovecraft from this decade, i think... the whisperer in darkness? liked it well enough
fogza 10.30.19	I just remember this movie had like three separate stories, and in the last story, there were these creepy old people and they spat up this weird metal tongue proboscis type deal from their mouths, and they could sever limbs with it. It wasn't very good at all but that scene stuck with me.
budgie 10.30.19	ok from 1993? i haven't seen it
Egarran 10.30.19	Call of Cthulhu the movie is BW HOLY FUCK it's from 2005. Time passes wayyy to fast these days,
EyesWideShut 10.30.19	Any of yall gonna see The Lighthouse ? The Witch was really well made imo and this one got de god Willem Dafoe
butt. 10.30.19	yup really need to see it soon
Larkinhill 10.31.19	Saw The Lighthouse last week and it was fantastic. On par with The Witch. Two towering lead performances, truly impressive work from both actors.
budgie 10.31.19	wtf is it about? what kind of horror?
Stormheart 10.31.19	The Brood [1979] https://youtu.be/-QaK5N0pj7M Shivers [1975] https://youtu.be/eK9Wal9Dvic Daughters of Darkness [1971] a personal favorite https://youtu.be/sFRuSbykaV0 you're welcome and enjoy!
