My issue with Space Truckers is that I was much, much more interested in the world of the space truckers than I was in the secret shipment of killer robots plot.

What' every ones top choice for 90s horror. Its kind of a desolute wasteland. You've got the stand out being Bram Stoker's Dracula which is so loving good.

There's a lot of great horror in the '90s; Audition, Braindead, Exorcist III. Top for me though is Singapore Sling, which I will sing the praises of until everyone in CineD has watched it twice.

Cure In The Mouth of Madness Species Body Melt Misery Jacob's Ladder Body Snatchers (the Ferrara one) you have arguably the most "critically acclaimed" horror/thriller Silence Of The Lambs in there too, as well as Se7en to answer the question: i think my current favorite would be Cure, it's just unreal and there's not really anything else like it, but the one i've watched most is Event Horizon. i just get psyched seeing Larry Fishburne say gently caress THIS SHIP every time alf_pogs fucked around with this message at 00:33 on May 14, 2021 |

What everybody else said, and Body Bags and Tales From the Hood. Savini's Night of the Living Dead came out in '90 so you can count that too. As for my "top" that's a hard choice between Exorcist III and Candyman, but I'd have to go with Candyman. Or Misery, drat... Plus there was the Tales From the Crypt series. That was my go-to for 90s horror, when I wasn't renting 80s horror on VHS.

I have Candyman #1. It's definitely a decade I remember fondly because I was 6 years old in 1990 so I grew up with a lot of these movies. https://letterboxd.com/basebf555/list/best-horror-of-the-90s/

Only thing that changes from decade to decade is the tone of the movies being made but that’s a culturally wide thing in regards to art being produced but that’s also how taste and personality develops as you’re exposed to things older than you and what’s available at the time. Kids born in the 90’s coming into 2000’s horror will have an exceptionally different take on it’s development and releases than someone born in the 70’s or 80’s and what they grew up on. The 2000’s is no less exciting developmentally than any other decade. They all had their cultural shifts and violent upheavals that shaped what was created within those time periods and then you get creators cribbing and skewing their own childhoods in the development of projects within those decades and it’s just a soup of a different flavor. There’s a lot of poo poo in each decade just as much as there’s the gems. You won’t be able to see the full picture without using the right lense.

The Blair Witch Project is one of my favourite films ever. I think it came out at the exact right time for me.MacheteZombie posted:It's funny how "90s was a horror wasteland" feels less true to me now then it did like 5 years ago Yeah, I used to dismiss the decade, but in recent years, I have come around to it. I have even come around to the teen slashers. Like, apparently I rated Urban Legend really low, but I remember having a lot of fun with it. What the hell was I thinking? alf_pogs posted:also the 90s was the era of The X Files which is still my favorite tv show probably ever Also, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and to a much lesser extent, Goosebumps.

i think the more horror movies you watch, the more you come to enjoy absolute trash. like we all start out wishing everything was The Thing or Hereditary or Alien, but soon enough you're watching Saw 5 and saying, absolute loving garbage full of can't-act nobodies, can't wait to watch it again, 5 stars.

The 90s is just kind of horror light even though there is a lot of good stuff. I made a list of my favorite spooky movie per year, and while everything has a good movie, some years there is very little competition. Child's play 2--1900 The People Under the Stairs-1991 Candyman--1992 Addams Family Values--1993 Cemetery Man--1994 Tales from the Hood--1995 Scream--1996 Perfect Blue-1997 Blade-1998 The Blair Witch Project--1999

Timeless Appeal posted:Addams Family Values--1993 Wikipedia says Needful Things was 93, how was that? Carnosaur was also 93 and that had Kaiden from Mass Effect fighting a mutant chicken with a Bobcat... I remember renting it in 94 and thinking it was crap but also kind of awesome Also lol that it got closer to how you would actually create non-avian dinosaurs than Jurassic Park did As for the Addamses, while they are creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, the closest that movie gets to scary is what Wednesday does to the extremely honkey summer camp, and fuckin good on her for that one, I say

I'm looking at my top rated films from the 2000s and they all rule. I'd say it has the highest proportion of non-American films of any decade. American-made horror was in a bad place but the UK, France and Japan were making great films

I legit loved the last decade (the 2010s) of horror. I don't think it's because of lowered expectations from the 2000s/the era of PG remakes either (though I really don't think I even necessarily Hated that era so much as it just had some of my least-favorite films). Every year had at least a few things I still rewatch and love. Per wiki, and almost certainly still incomplete/missing stuff: 2010: Black Swan, Let Me In, Rubber, Tucker & Dale vs Evil 2011: Final Destination 5, Fright Night, You're Next 2012: Cabin in the Woods, Excision, Lords of Salem 2013: Evil Dead, The Conjuring, Under the Skin 2014: The Babadook, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, It Follows, The Purge: Anarchy 2015: Crimson Peak, The Final Girls, Krampus, The Witch, We Are Still Here 2016: Antibirth, Autopsy of Jane Doe, Eyes of My Mother, The Love Witch, Neon Demon, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Raw, Train to Busan, The Void 2017: Annabelle Creation, The Babysitter, Happy Death Day, Get Out, mother!, Killing of a Sacred Deer 2018: Annihilation, Cam, Climax, The First Purge, Halloween 2018, Hereditary, In Fabric, Suspiria 2018, Upgrade 2019: Midsommar, Doctor Sleep, Happy Death Day 2U, Ready or Not, The Lighthouse, The Perfection, Crawl, Us I'm not gonna say it's my fav decade of course, but up there for sure

Yeah, I think 2000s in horror is all about the internet making international films super accessible. All my positive memories from that era is stuff like hearing about and watching films like Ringu, Rec, and High Tension on my computer.

You had that brief period of French New Wave horror that was really good and then you had S. Korean horror as well. The 2000s definitely belong to foreign horror.

Spiral is OK! Not great. Maybe not worth a theater run tbh. It’s a saw movie. The traps are neat but not going insane like 3-7 did. Pretty gory. Also every one who dies is a cop so you don’t ever have to feel bad. It says stuff about cops, but I’ll let someone else jump on that. I think I was just happy to see a new movie in theaters again. Chris Rock is not a great actor lmao

The best I can think of are things like House of 1000 Corpses, Inland Empire, Slither, and Bug, and they're definitely more the exceptions that proved the rule, rather than a fair cross-section of the genre in that particular place and time.
