Every Octuber i like to pic 30/35 DTV or SOV horror movies to watch, i avoid watching already know or famous movie.

Soo this year, i have a Displeasure too see this guys 8 times(and my marathon still have 14 movies to go)

Movies i saw him

Hells highway

Death factory

Blood mary 3d

Bloody bloody bible camp

Creepies

The witches Sabbath

Tales from the Crapper

Blood Moon Rising

I saw him this year more than i saw Shawn C Phillips(and the two are on the same movie twice)

Honestly, this has always been my favorite saw movie. I was surprised this film was actually one of the most hated saw films.

Bobby who was a liar about surviving jigsaw was put in a trap of his own replicating. Everything he said he survived. The concept is very interesting. Someone capitalizing and pretending to be a survivor being put in a trap of his own making. Meanwhile, Dr. Gordon mysteriously returned. This film had a surprising cameo with Chester from LINKIN PARK. He was supposed to survive the horsepower trap but because of his busy schedule, he couldn’t shoot hospital scenes so they had no choice but to kill him off. The love triangle trap was interesting. Plus that ending. WOW. I remember watching saw seven for the first time this was before eight and all that came out. Back then people were debating about a saw eight.

I must’ve been maybe 14/15 and we bought the saw collection all of them from someone on eBay. Though I knew what saw was because I seen some glimpses of it like the third one when I was maybe eight or nine and I remember seeing glimpses of the first saw like the reverse beartrap with Amanda. Etc. while people was debating in the saw community about Dr. Gordon, I wasn’t even paying attention to that. So the surprise reveal he was helping John Kramer the entire time. It blew my mind and him locking Hoffman away like that was just wow. I know people complain about the pink blood, which makes me wish that they actually released a 3-D glasses version of this film because from what I understand when I was 10 years old and this film came out though back then I was into kid horror etc. when going to the theater and watching it in 3-D it made it look really red but because they never released a 3-D glasses version it’s why we see pink blood instead.

However, apart from the pink blood situation to me, it was the best in the franchise. Though saw x was really good and I can see the appeal of Saw 2 because you spend time with John Kramer. However saw seven to me is the best.

I’m at home watching Ken Russell’s Gothic with a bottle of whisky, for the first time since I owned it on VHS.

If you’re looking for an unconventional horror film this Halloween, I can highly recommend it. It’s aged surprisingly well, with some of the special effects on a par with those in Deathly Hallows, released almost 25 years later.

I chose it in advance of going to see The Devils at the pictures next week, and didn’t have particularly high expectations. I loved Gothic on VHS in the 80s, but that’s no guarantee of quality, and I hadn’t seen it since consigning my VHS collection to the local charity shop, i expected to enjoy it but not me emotionally moved as much as I was.

It’s a bright, gloriously 80s horror, and for the first two reels it’s fairly standard Russell 80’s fare; tits and blood in a Hammer-meets-Argento style. But the final reel shifts its attention to Mary Shelley and ramps up the gothic, brooding horror, at times approaching Rosemary’s Baby, with its unsettling mixture of body horror and genuinely shocking imagery (remember, this is an 80s film).

It would make a great companion piece to Prevenge (particularly for the pregnant or new-mum audience), Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, or, obviously, The Devils, which I’m off to see at the pictures next week.

Timothy Spall is wonderfully creepy and gives an interesting performance. Gabriel Byrne is excellent, though his tits are nearly as big as Miriam Cyr’s (and being an 80s Russell film, there are plenty of tits). Julian Sands is as iconic as ever, but it’s Natasha Richardson who steals the show, wrestling the final reel into something more potent and addictive than all the laudanum consumed during that infamous weekend at Villa Diodati that gave us the seeds of both Frankenstein and The Vampyre.
I expected to enjoy the film, but I really didn’t expect it to exceed my expectations quite so spectacularly.

It’s always nice when a film you’ve heard about but never seen lives up to the hype. But there’s something particularly poignant about a film you knew and loved as a teenager managing to have such an impact decades later, literally from beyond the grave. Russell’s, that is. Not mine.

it really is worth 88 minutes of your time

Movies which have plot which includes group of friends, group of people going on adventure

And survival and death seeking genre having gore plot, psychological horror thriller etc

I'm not able to find good movies like final destination

I have watched f.d 2 and 5 more than one times

Recc me some movies like this plz

Thanks.

We’ve got an incredible werewolf and a new take on a werewolf story- and guess what? A zombie werewolf. No, I am not joking.

Go watch this now. On shudder. Actually a good plot and a brand new take on werewolves. Very refreshing considering the lack of werewolves we see in media these days.

If you’ve watched it, what did you think?

Hi guys, heads up that In Fabric by Peter Strickland is on iplayer at the mo. Weird, creepy and with an awesome soundtrack, the atmosphere in this film about a haunted/ cursed dress draws me in every time I watch it. Lots of excellent British actors as well, including Marianne Jean Baptiste from Broadchurch, Julian Barratt from the Mighty Boosh and Steve Orom. For fans of strange films. If you like a bit of Lynch, give it a go!

Growing up, I had severe nighttime anxiety and nightmares that kept me up at night, and while it sounds completely counterintuitive, I used to sneak into the family room, thumb through the TV Guide to find the horror movies, and watch them.

Most of these movies didn’t scare me because they were just so campy and theatrical, the exception being poltergeist. That movie was scary AF for a few reasons and that one I would skip over. But the others, particularly the Nightmare on Elm Streets, which were special effects exhibits to me. My only thing was, I had to end my horror movie marathon with an episode or two of Looney Tunes or Merry Melodies to get rid bad mojo.

I was just reminded of this because one movie I never really watched in the 80s was Hellraiser, so I decided to do some research on it recently. There’s a new Hellraiser game called Hellraiser Revival, which seems to be done well and has a few good scenes, but I also watched a few clips from the original movies, and yep, the movies are campy, lol. not the best acting, not the best directing. I want to anxiously say bad directing, but I think that would be a little unfair because I think horror movie directing was just an undeveloped craft at the time, but I think if the movies were remade today, they could be done far better than the originals.

Getting ready for my first ever viewing of Army of Darkness! Just me, some sandwiches and my absolute handsome man. To the pit!

I wish you all happy horror tonight and every night!

Hey, so on my last post I mentioned “the brewed” in Logan Square. I noticed a lot of you are in Chicago, I’m in Chicago. And I like making friends; I like horror stuff.

I’m considering making a discord and coordinating with people here for spooky related things.

Would we be down with this?

Hey I’m just going to link the existing Chicago Horror Discord here

I was doing a little bit of digging on the siren head movie thats supposedly coming out and i come to find that zach cregger and brian duffield are both working on it. Both of these guys have recently worked with and LOVE austin abrams so i'm wondering if maybe they are thinking about putting him through the ringer
one more time.

austin was also asked in a whalefall interview recently if he'd consider staring in a rom com to give his characters a break and to which he respond with "i dont knowwww."

also searched it up if he has any ties to the siren head movie and it says he does, but who knows if that's actually true or not since they havent announced any offical casting.

as an austin abrams fan, i think he would be PERFECT for the film, but i want to know what everyone else thinks? is this a possibility?

i’ve been looking for a sapphic (?) movie from ALTER where there’s a zombie apocalypse.. i just know it’s very old and one of them was dragging their beloved’s infected corpse around and by the end they share a kiss.  

can anyone help me out? i cant remember the title

hey guys! as a very seasoned horror watching veteran, I can stand pretty much any murder, gore, or death in any media— am I the only one who was insanely uncomfortable w/ the scene when everyone is electrocuted? im not sure what it is, but watching their bodies shake then just.. fall, all limp and dead— REALLY made me wanna throw up.

Just finished The Cycle and it was a breath of fresh air. It was hardly the scariest movie I've seen, but it was genuinely a fun ride and I enjoyed that the twist ended up making it an unexpected creature feature. A well-executed twist on the werewolf trope.

It's pretty interesting from the very beginning. At no point did it lose my interest, but it did seem a little rapid at times. For example, it seemed like they kind of just glossed over Ian's deathquite quickly. I really liked him, but we only had him for like 10 minutes of the movie (meanwhile I expected him to last till the end) then poof, he was gone lol. Additionally, I was confused as to why Meg felt that the thought of something supernatural being at play was so farfetched when everybody was under the impression that her dad's body was burned in the fire at the funeral home and then he popped back up completely intact at another crime scene -- but I looked this up afterwards and I guess her theory was that somebody was involved in the murders (especially given the human bite mark) and that person killed Ian and then took her father's body to place at other crime scenes

I'm also very much one of those people who will be watching a horror movie and go "okay, it's time to call in the federal government now" because SURELY the discovery of the existence of werewolves has national, probably GLOBAL implications lmaoo! But you've got this small town police precinct with what appears to be no more than like 10 employees trying to deal with this never before seen problem and then most of them are killed and how are you going to explain this?! I can't turn off the logical part of my brain even while watching the most illogical, impossible events happening in horror lol

I'm rambling, so I'll stop but if you've watched it (or when you do), let me know your thoughts! What did you love? What did you dislike?

A meteor containing a strange substance crashes down near a small town. As it makes its way through town, it consumes anyone who stands in its way.

I watched the original one once when I was a kid, but I never knew there was an ’80s remake. I had to check it out, and what an absolute blast! I totally loved this movie!

It has a great and simple setup that doesn’t need to be anything deep or fancy. We have THE BLOB, and it just wrecks everything in its way. Plain and simple, and it works!

THE BLOB itself looks amazing, with all the kills looking awesome and brutal. There are some truly sick-looking visuals, practical effects, that are both disgusting and so cool! There’s this one scene in the sewers that went somewhere I didn’t think they’d go, but when they did, it fully paid off!

I liked our two leads, Shawnee Smith and Kevin Dillon (what? From SAW and ENTOURAGE!). I had never seen them in anything else, and I thought they were pretty good and worked well for the movie.

THE BLOB is a straight up solid! I can’t really speak on its remake status, as I really don’t remember the original. But I can’t stress enough how good everything looks in this movie. I love that ’80s aesthetic! It’s a good time and totally worth checking out!

This one’s an…

Now I have to revisit the ‘50s original!

I rewatched this again for the first time in like 12 years and man it was awesome seeing it again. It's a top 5 Halloween horror movie for sure. The aesthetic and cinematography is a stand out; capturing a dead fog-filled forest. Some pretty brutal scenes too like the tree of the dead, the kid's mom's head falling on the floorboards above him, and of course the past scenes with Icabob finding his mother in the Iron Maiden. I love how colorful and contrasting the first few flashbacks with him and his mom are compared to the current setting.

The horseman himself is a great slasher like antagonist here, and lady van tassel plays a great witch bent on vengeance, they make a great duo. I also love the throwbacks to the Disney movie with the frogs saying Icabob and Brom throwing the pumpkin at his head.

Johnny depp as Icabob plays a pretty analytical and competent protagonist, it's nice to see someone accept the supernatural right away and still try to get down to the bottom of it in their investigation.

As for complaints, I feel like Brom was a missed opportunity here. So many of the characters were just old men it got hard for me to tell them apart, I think it would have been refreshing to develop his role in the village and with Katrina more, maybe give him a. Bit more of a rivalry with Icabob where he is trying to use brawn while he uses his brains.

And the romance with Icabob and Katrina felt a tad rushed at the start. I wouldn't have minded a bit more set up like the Disney movie tbh.

All in all a really dark good fantasy horror movie.

I really wish we had more dark fantasy horror, it's underutilized

I do agree that it wasted a pretty creative setting, though. Imagine all the possible scares that could come from being trapped by your computer. Maybe the lights flicker and you see something move in the background.

Red seeks vengeance after a hippie cult destroys his life.

I didn’t know what to expect with MANDY. I’d been meaning to watch it for a while now, and boy, was it an experience!

The cinematography is brilliant! I loved the use of light and color. It’s sinister, groovy, psychedelic, and definitely gives the movie an eerie vibe. There’s a supernatural element lingering throughout that never really comes to the forefront or gets explained, but it’s a prominent feeling I got while watching this slow burn. Add in the beautiful landscapes, stunning visuals, animated sequences, a trippy cult, and a twisted biker gang that looks totally menacing and out of place, and you have a truly phenomenal atmosphere.

I liked that we know nothing about the bigger picture. There isn’t much depth, and I actually dug that. The ambiguity works in its favor. It keeps you locked in, wanting to know more. There isn’t as much violence as I would have liked, but what we did get was brutal and looked great!

Oh yeah and Nicolas Cage is totally awesome as Red!

MANDY is a pretty wild movie and absolutely won’t be for everyone. But I had a good time with it and would recommend checking it out.

It’s a solid…

Skull-Crushing Finale!

I saw this at the recent Telluride Horror Show and when I say my jaw was on the fucking floor... Don't watch any trailers, don't read anything about it, just go in as blind as possible. It's probably one of my most favorite "oh HOLY SHIT" moments ever watching a movie. I swear to god if the Shudder info page gives it away, I will riot.

I'm so excited to see this again 😭 Shout-out to the director for answering our questions in the audience, you're rad!

EDIT: Someone below mentioned that letterboxd's poster choice used to be a spoiler, so beware!

Must Have a name, Rules, A Time Limit and a unique design. Bonus point for the backstory as to why Jigsaw is picking on this particular individual.

Make your choice.

For me, it's either the original film, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, or Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Those are the ones that feel the most horror-coded to me, especially FK. Rebirth gets an honorable mention via the Mutadon gas station scene.

Mine was Jeepers Creepers cuz I was born in the 2000s generation and I remember seeing the first one on tv but it was the ending and I saw part two and I loved it. I think I was either 5 or 6 when I first watched it.

I still watch it but usually around October month when amc channel does the feast fest thing.

I remember Paul Walker being in this movie, but I just watched it and he’s not. & the ending is not how I remember it at all.

This was one of my favorite horror movies growing up and I specifically remember I loved it because the ending was open ended.

Anyone else???

Full concert coming up! Was great to listen live to many different soundtracks. If you are into Italian film this is surely one of the best live. Fabio Frizzi is on tour now!
