Blair witch freaked my friends and me out when we saw it in the theaters. Granted we smoked a pound of weed beforehand but still.

The thought of chilling in your tent while something is walking around you in the middle of the woods is scary as hell.

I haven't seen Spring Breakers since it was in theaters, but I re watched it and appreciate it just as much as the first time. I felt I always remembered it as the rise of two psychopaths, but rewatch was "lol, nah just youths".

For as much as everyone seems to hate the Blair Witch reboot, I actually thought it was pretty spooky and I liked it more than the original which never really made much of an impact on me, despite seeing it in theaters right when it came out and a bunch of dopes thought it was real. The characters in the reboot are abysmal but I actually thought it was pretty good as a horror movie.

In a lot of ways it was the inverse of my experience with The Ritual, where I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised by how hard it swung for the fences. Blair Witch felt weirdly safe to me.

Trying a free week of Shudder out. Anyone have any must watch recs? Also, I could have friggin sworn channel Zero was an anthology show? But I guess not. Is season one worth watching? Watched the first episode and was so so on it. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Aug 26, 2018 |

Personally I thought the ending was pretty batshit. The Blair witch monster thing was straight up one of the most viscerally creepy things I've seen in a movie in a while and the part where she is crawling through the tiny underground tunnel really super tense and claustrophobic in this way I thought was super effective. And overall I thought it just had a nice pace of decent scares leading up to the finale. The worst thing is about it was how forgettable the characters are but that's not really why I watched it anyways. Maybe part of why I liked it was that my expectations were so low going in, but I thought it was a legit decent horror flick that doesn't deserve it's reputation as a pile of trash. E: yeah not to mention the time paradox.

In case it still works, this coupon code got me 60 days of free Shudder on an account that I had already used (meaning, not the typical 'first time subscribers only' crap): https://slickdeals.net/f/11263379-60-day-shudder-horror-streaming-trial-subscription-free

The only memorable parts are the unnecessarily intricate ways they go about risking their lives (that guillotine lmao) and the goofy puppet that they only shot for ten seconds and then looped over and over.  Oh and that lovely mask at the end

Looking over Shudder's catalog for the first time, I can vouch for the following that haven't been mentioned yet; V/H/S - Solid anthology with only one clunker The Gate - 80's, cool creature effects Still/Born - Not the best, but a decent creepy flick with a quick Michael Ironside scene Monsters - Pre-Godzilla Gareth Edwards, but a much stronger monster flick John Carpenter's Vampires - This movie is definitely bad, but James Woods is entertaining and you can always fall back on that Carpenter score House (1986) - Goofy haunted house movie with George Wendt and a bizarre ending Escape From Tomorrow - I'm not telling you anything except it was mostly filmed guerilla-style at Disney World and Disneyland and the cast is banned for life Christmas Evil - Go in blind Beyond the Black Rainbow - I still don't know what to make of this film, but it's got a great look and the director is about to release another batshit movie with Nic Cage

I'd say those are good rec's. The Gate, House, and Christmas Evil were staples of my 80's childhood. Holy gently caress I loved the hell out of House. George Wendt was mentioned but it also has Night Court alum Richard Moll, and motherfuckin William Katt (The Greatest American Hero). Speaking of GAH, anyone know where to stream it freely? Also yeah Monsters is pretty good. Another poster mentioned Triangle and that one is pretty good too. Nice and twisty perfect to watch stoned isaboo fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Aug 27, 2018 |

Yeah House 2 was such an huge letdown to me and all my teenage friends and I imagine it's much much worse now. Had no idea there's a 3 and 4. Tremors is the only series that continues to be fun after 12 or whatever they're up to now.

As far as a sense of humor, it's definitely the most Raimi-esque movie he's ever done. It really does play awesomely like a broken Spider-Man movie.

Channel Zero is an anthology show, it's just the American Horror Story kind (each season is a different story) rather than the Twilight Zone/Black Mirror kind (each episode is a different story). Only the first season, Candle Cove, is up on Shudder for some reason.

FYI, if you like shudder's catalogue and you like anime, you should try VRV. I managed to consolidate 2 subscriptions by getting it as well as getting a bunch of other stuff. They have shudder, crunchyroll and funimation which is most of the popular anime, shows scavenged from seeso's corpse like Harmonquest and My Brother My Brother and Me, plus a bunch of other various things with geek or nerd in the title. It has a ton of content from a ton of sources and winds up being a great deal, even if a good chunk of the content is kinda lame and the streaming app sorta sucks (on ps4 at least)
