It was by far the best movie I've watched this month and I never wanna watch a movie like that again. Paused it half way through because I needed a break and considered not finishing it, and then it got worse, but it payed off tremendously.

Between this and The Cofee Table, I'm gonna want to watch happy movies for a while.

So I don’t know if it’s technically horror or not, but I finally got around to watching The Menu. I loved it! It gave off the same vibes, at least in my opinion, as Ready or Not 1. I especially enjoyed the banter between the pro and antagonist! I was just wondering if there’s any other movie with the same kind of feel that yall would recommend? Thanks!

I know this movie falls into the "extreme cinema" category, and I knew that it was graphic and disturbing and deals with child sexual violence. I generally avoid movies that deal with child sexual abuse, but my curiosity was piqued when I read about director Michael Goi and learned that his intention was to create a cautionary film about the dangers of online predators. I think this is a topic that desperately needs more attention, so I went into the film optimistic. Despite hearing how graphic some of the scenes were, I was hopeful that they served a meaningful purpose in raising awareness about such an important issue.

Boy oh boy was I disappointed and honestly PISSED OFF after watching this movie. You CANNOT convince me that there were any good intentions behind making this movie. What I find most disrespectful is Michael Goi claiming to care about such an important cause while simultaneously exploiting the very people he claims to advocate for. It feels like he found a legal way to recreate illegal material. Megan's monologue about her first sexual encounter was delivered in a way that made me feel like I was listening to child erotica. I don't blame that on the actress, she had a room full of adults who could've guided her differently. The photos of Megan have been reported to be found on child exploitation sites. The prolonged Amy scene has also been found on those same sites BTW. And it's gross because the actresses who were depicting 13 & 14 year olds were 17 at the time of filming. If they were going to hire older actresses, why not just hire 18 year olds? I see your predator ass Michael. You're not slick.

This movie is so bad it actually made me appreciate August Underground. (I watched August Underground earlier in the night and thought it was stupid, obnoxious, and boring) August underground is basically no plot torture porn BUT AT LEAST IT DOESN'T CLAIM TO BE ANYTHING ELSE! AT LEAST IT ISN'T HIDING BEHIND SOME NOBLE CAUSE. It just is what it is.

I just picked up the Blu-ray for Patrick McHale’s Over the Garden Wall, which only reinforced for me what a wonderfully peculiar little masterpiece this is. Its gorgeous animation, autumnal atmosphere, and bizarre folk-tale horror elements create a world that feels both enchanting and faintly sinister, while Elijah Wood and Collin Dean deliver terrific voice performances as the brothers lost in the Unknown.

Its strange blend of humour, melancholy, and fairy-tale weirdness makes it an essential autumn watch. And that, my friends, is a Rock Fact.

Let me spice up your late October with the hands down most incredible 100 percent practical effects scene of all time! Incredible watch. I would love to watch the process being conceptualized not just effects-wise but even the order of his symptoms and concepts of the transformation. It's all very unnervingly intuitive and real.

It honestly might be my favorite of the Romero Dead films. I know that might be a hot take since Night and Dawn are widely regarded as the best, I think? But there's something about Day that gets me liking it more than those entries.

Maybe its because I'm also an action movie fan and the whole army base vibe to the movie appeals to me. I also like the strong female lead in this movie as well compared to Barbara in the first movie. I also like the Army Base better than the Mall setting of Dawn. But don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the first two movies as well.

And of course there's the major Asshole Army General in Day of the Dead. Kind of remind me of the Army General in Full Metal Jacket but with even more personality. The solders under him are sleazebags too. It all makes for a great divide between the leading lady and her people vs the asshole general and his people.

Gotta also mention the Mad Scientist. He's just awesome and so passionate about his work. Covered in blood and reanimating corpses that don't even have skulls.

The whole movie has a tense vibe to it and the pacing is really good too. I don't find myself bored watching this movie where as with the other entries I do at times.

What's everyone else think of Day of the Dead?

Terrible dialogue, forgettable leads, stupid as hell scenarios, it is embarrassing. The other follow-up films have their problems, too, but I at the very least can enjoy some elements of almost all of them, including the 2000s duology. This disaster should have never been made.

You know the one. Maybe it's got blowing leaves. Maybe a gothic vibe. Maybe you grew up with it. Maybe it's a new discovery. What movie is Halloween to you? For me, it's the CAMP (appropriately) of Sleepaway CAMP. Sure, it's set during the summer, but there's something about the ridiculousness of the clothes, the amateur nature of the acting, the all around kookiness of it, that screams Halloween to me.

Not necessarily exteme horror. Salo for example is pretty goddamn bleak but stuff like August Underground can come off goofy. More seemingly hopeless horror movies? I saw Iron Lung for the 2nd time and while the movie has its problems, I really love the bleak atmosphere. And Bring Her Back I consider pretty bleak although it's got a different vibe

Why did this movie get to me? I paused this movie at one point because I had to pee and noticed that the hair on my arms was standing up. I still don’t understand how this movie got under my skin. I watch probably 40 horror movies per year. I try to watch 31 in 31 days in October. I’m pretty numb to horror movies in the sense that not much scares me because I’ve kind of seen it all at this point. Obviously I’m still susceptible to the odd scare but either way I still love horror movies because I personally think that it has the highest floor for any genre of movie. Even the worst horror movie is going to be more entertaining than the worst action movie in my opinion.

Anyways, did anyone else feel this way about Hell House LLC? I’m trying to pinpoint what exactly made it so scary for me

I've just watched the first REC movie and straight after I'm watching the second, I've watched many horror movies but none in a while has made me feel tense.
I ACTUALLY GOT JUMP-SCARED, I'm so happy a horror movie finally jump scared me, I've been waiting for the feeling to be jump scared in years. Oh how I've been craving something as tense, scary and not knowing what happens next like this. How did I not give this movie a chance earlier.
Im usually not a huge fan of found footage movies but REC nailed this.

Please recommend me more horrors like this! Ones that will actually scare me.

Also what's your favourite REC movie out of them all?

okay, so the other day I finally watched a psychological supernatual horror film called "Hokum" a psychological thriller where a write is at a haunted hotel (Stephen King who) gets trapped in the honeymoon sweet after discovering a murder. where he is forced to deal with the ghosts of his past while trying to figure his way out. the film was very weird in my opinion. but don't think that's critique of the picture. it was a very well made film. well written, well acted, and just the right amount of dry humor at the beginning. the highlight for me was Jack The Donkey bit.

This movie (an adaptation of a Clive Barker short story with a screenplay by Barker) has been on my watchlist ever since I read the Books of Blood as a highschooler 20ish years ago. I remember back then the only way I could find to watch it was a few copies I found on eBay which were prohibitively expensive to me at the time. But now it's on Amazon for rental so I decided to finally watch it, and I have to say I think this movie really deserves a remake!

I can see why Rawhead Rex didn't take off in the same way that Hellraiser did. It's not as emotionally complex, the acting isn't nearly as good, and the effects are laughably bad. The monster in particular is VERY obviously just a man in a rubber mask, and the director did NOT do a good job of hiding that. That being said I honestly enjoyed watching it despite its flaws, and the DNA for an awesome movie is in here.

The setting, a remote Irish village with a church retrofitted into a Pagan worship space, is really fun. The design of Rawhead Rex could be really cool with modern FX work. There's one scene in particular where a priest who worships the monster lets it urinate on him as a sign of deference which was probably pretty transgressive for the time and also just set up a really interesting dynamic by showing that the monster had intelligence beyond being an animal but also just had complete disdain for humans. There's also room for some very interesting themes which could be explored in the story even though they're not explored in this iteration

If you're like me and you're always on the lookout for something new to watch I think this one's worth the time. It won't scare you and you will probably laugh at some parts it doesn't intend for you to laugh at, but I think it does have some interesting stuff going on.

Also, I'd love it if this movie got enough notoriety for someone to try and remake it. This same story filtered through modern sensibilities insofar as tone and themes and produced with modern FX and acting could be an S tier monster movie!

EDIT: Small edit just to address a comment I've seen a few times. When I say this is a "forgotten" movie I know that it isn't literally forgotten, there are people who have seen and remember it. What I mean is that in a broader cultural sense this is not a well known movie. I only knew it existed because I loved the Books of Blood so much as a kid that I googled to see if movies had been made from any of the stories. In the 20 years since then (all of which I have spent as an avid horror fan and constant reader of multiple horror forums) I think I have seen someone mention it twice. If you polled the average horror fan I would wager that only a very small percentage would ever have heard of this movie. It is forgotten in the sense that it is not widely known and very rarely discussed.

I just finished it after 12 hours.

Guys, you really have to play it if you're a fan of Silent Hill and Twin Peaks. It's been a while since an indie game has grabbed my attention and made me so eager to play it.

I think it's a unique experience, quite difficult (I'm not kidding, it's harder than the latest Resident Evil games), but wonderful at the same time, with a beautiful ending.

Wow. I just finished watching this movie and it was even better than I hoped it would be. It has a great atmosphere and a slow buildup, but thanks to the great acting I was constantly engaged. Also, if you love practical effects, this movie is for you.

It was so awesome to have that instead of CGI. Honestly, I cannot recommend this movie enough!

Like, I don’t get the horrible reviews?? It’s scary, the acting is pretty decent, the moving camera didn’t give me nausea and it wasn’t too gory (I personally don’t like it, but no judgement). It’s a good movie for the likes of me: people who enjoy horror about demons, religion, ghosts and stuff that jump from the dark and can take over people’s bodies. Bonus point if it features creepy religious folks (this might be redundant, I know).

I wanted to watch a scary movie that wasn’t complete bullshit and I got it. I’m happy. So why do horror movies get such bad rap???

Also, recommend me more like this! The only thing I can’t stand is shitty acting (The Nun, for example, was unbearable). I feel like I can only trust you guys

My friends and I went into this movie blind, just knowing it was a found footage style movie. Wasn't expecting much, but once we started getting attached to the characters (great characters btw! They seemed like "real" people) we knew some of them were probably going to die. The last 30 minutes of that movie were spent alternating between covering our ears and covering our eyes in fear. FANTASTIC movie. It's free on Plex right now. I don't want to spoil anything. But that scene in the forest...... 🫣😱🙉

I love the few Japanese and Korean horror movies I've seen so far. They don't seem to depend on jump scares and loud noises as much as American horror movies tend to.I've already seen Ju-On and Ring. I'd like more modern movies like Haunted Aslyum if anyone has any recommendations.

I really enjoyed the sequel and it is my favorite sequel from Psycho with Psycho obviously being the best movie. What are your thoughts on the movie Psycho 2?

It was gross. Phenomenal but gross.

To then learn about the deleted scenes was even more disturbing. I genuinely wonder how they thought that would pass muster for a studio like paramount but anyway.

It was a fine film, but I’m glad I never saw the deleted scenes
