I legit love effects. After I watched evil dead for the first time as a kid, I ran to my fridge and got baby food and all kinds of crap and stuck it in my play dough like the deadites at the end of the movie

Gaz2k21 posted:I’m watching Attack the Block for the first time since it’s theatrical run, I’d love to watch this movie more but the way the kids talk in this reminds me far to much of the people I deal with at work .......which I guess is testament to the accuracy of the performances. It also has my favorite 'why cell phones can't solve the problem' scene in film. Having the kid's phone run out of minutes is a perfect moment for both ratcheting up the tension and reinforcing the themes of the movie.

My desire to watch the most hosed up things possible faded out as I got old enough to drink. I'm talking fictional stuff. Still the same miserable nihilist I was in my teens, unfortunately, but at least I can't stomach the real gruesome poo poo anymore.

I didn't see Evil Dead 2 until my 16th birthday. My friend's uncle rented it, it was unrelated to my birthday, but it helped make a good one. Considering I didn't have an older sibling, whenever he was around he usually gave us a good dose of the horror we normally wouldn't have run across.

Watched both The Boy movies today and they’re both kind of poo poo. The doll is well designed though, creepy but not overtly scary looking to the point where you wonder why anyone would have ever made it in the first place (I’m looking at you Annabelle).

Recently got a Prime subscription and catching up on spooky poo poo I'd been wanting to see (and/or rewatch since it left Netflix) Splice: I'm still mad about the cat and those people should never have had children The Void: Holy poo poo what a hoot. It's not often I catch myself thinking "This is so gross and creepy that it's really well done" (turn on your monitor) but The Void got me. Love the practical effects. The Vast of Night: Not really horror but I will always stan for UFO films. I was kind of annoyed at how it used the mythical 50's small-town America setting almost completely straight-faced but I guess that's not the story it wanted to tell. The UFO bits were right up my alley though. I still thought it was ultimately a better film than The Fourth Kind, which I'd seen before and rewatched just before it. The Lighthouse: HARRRRRRRRRK! I imagine everything that could be said about it has already been said, so I guess my biggest impression was that it reminded me a lot of Midsommar, despite the wild difference in plot, setting, and cinematography. And it's not just that both were the second releases, in 2019, from horror directors who had their first feature films get lots of good press. Maybe it's the themes of isolation and slowly escalating madness? It's getting to the point where I could put together a decent UFO Movie Day, with Vast, Signs, Dark Skies, Fourth Kind, Close Encounters, one of the 3 or 4 mid-2010s found footage Area 51 movies, and heck, maybe the first X-Files movie, but I'd be happy to hear suggestions.

I don't necessarily think anyone that rented Faces of Death out of morbid curiousity is mentally deranged. Half of the people on this site came from Stile and Ogrish and Rotten and stuff. There are a lot of people that apparently missed where this forum came from. A lot of teens "look into it." I dont think I know many people who didnt join in the Faces of Death wanting to see it in middle school. Darko fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Mar 2, 2021 |

Signs is probably the best horror movie involving aliens, is undoubtedly M. Night Shammy's masterpiece, and that's yet another hill that I'll gladly go to my crucifixion on.

That ship is filthy and completely neglected. The ship is more like its alive which isn't an uncommon UFO thing. Also I disagree that its bad. I think its better for being dull for a lot of it. If the movie had that scene earlier it wouldnt be nearly as effective.

Not just the cornfield scenes and "It's behind" but that scene where they're all holding up the baby monitor. Doesn't hurt that watching Joaquin Phoenix use a grey's head as a teeball was rather therapeutic. I'm not about to let the water thing ruin that for me. CelticPredator posted:I’m so obsessed with UFOs right now but I need good new UFO content and that is so hard to find. If you haven't caught Dark Skies yet, please do. I lost a night of sleep to it, and I still have to stop myself from thinking about it when I'm in the shower or walking through the house when the lights aren't on. (YMMV of course.)

Dark Skies is iffy to me. So like...I love the alien in the room scene and the ending battle thing because I def did that in a short film once, but I dunno. I didnt love it. I dont hate it. But i've watched it a few times.

I don’t even think the water thing ruins it tbh. I like that it was that simple and these aliens weren’t some higher beings. They were probably desperate, running from an unfathomable situation on their home planet. Desperate for an answer that wasn’t to be found on earth.

NUMBER 1 FULCI FAN posted:
This is a bad meme and whoever made it is the kinda dude that makes me not want to talk about being a horror fan on first dates. Spatulater bro! posted:I'd love to see a version of this sans the stuff with real deaths. That poo poo doesn't belong in a list of movies. The entire premise is flawed, you can see it from the moment it includes Pink Flamingoes. It's trying to create an impression that to go deeper into horror is to watch progressively more "extreme" stuff, which is not at all how it's done. There's no room in this framework for films like Possession or Xtro, let alone Hitchcock-style thrillers and slow build psychological horror. It is a boor's view of the genre.

I just think cinematically the quasi religious aspect doesnt lend itself to much in the way of entertainment. A mean nasty fucker of a Grey coming into your house and snatching you from your bed is deeply terrifying. As are the experiments.
