Frankly, Tubi is kinda the only choice. Like, yeah I'm glad Shudder exists, but its catalogue is too small to be interesting to me. e: It may work well for folks who are cool with just watching whatever, or getting recommendations of things they've never heard of, but I know what I want to watch before I ever open an app and 95% of the time it's either on Tubi, for rent on YouTube, or for free on YouTube because the rights holders don't remember it exists. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Aug 29, 2023 |

I'm guessing you live somewhere where regional differences mean the Shudder library is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller, because I'm looking at horror movies on Tubi versus Shudder's selection and it's not even close, it's an absolute landslide in Shudder's favor

Nah, I'm US. I think it's that I own all the ""good"" horror movies I want on physical, so the stuff I stream is all the intriguing trash that either doesn't have a physical release or has a niche $60 release that I'm not going to shell out for blind.

I've been so far satisfied with Shudders "original" content. Like its mostly pretty decent stuff. Watching Voyage of Demetri right now. Its not to bad but it opens in a weird way.

Last Voyage was really good! I liked it. Also its basically Alien but in 1896 with a vampire instead. Very similar in lots of different shots. I'd have to rewatch Alien but there's a lot of stuff that's in it that is basically just like Alien. There's one specific scene when they're outside in the rain and the ropes are hanging down that is just straight up Alien. There's even a scene where people talk about what they're going to do with their money around a dinner table. Very much a Alien homage than anything else.

Shrecknet posted:Ok let's dig deep. Tell me your ****+ horror movies with less than 1,000 Letterboxed reviews that you would recommend. Filtering by 4-5 stars, sorting by popularity, and going to the bottom: Dead Faith - Random Tubi watch that has 1 Letterboxd view and 0 reviews because I usually only do star ratings. Not so much a horror movie as a dramatized theological debate on the ethics of killing zombies, but it's great, and under an hour. Nasty Nancy - 6 reviews. Great Croatian slasher that I came across on my world tour. Nine Girls (1944) - Sizable parts of history have well under 1k reviews for everything except the biggest hits, but this is my least popular at 17 reviews. Nominally a murder mystery set in a sorority, it's also what I suppose is a proto-proto-slasher. Jeez, even the Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters (except Frankenstein) are well under the line. Closer to the threshold: The Comedy of Terrors - 984 reviews. Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, and Peter Lorre in a horror comedy, and it's well established that the thread loves The Raven. Mark of the Vampire - 797 reviews. Tod Browning and Bela Lugosi basically gaslight the contemporary audience by making a movie, with that title, in which Bela is playing an Eastern European Count, and people are dying.

The Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi films are probably the best example of this, but they come up in this thread a lot already. I won’t claim either of these are great films, but they’re both interesting and don’t deserve to be so obscure: Black Zoo (1963) has only 218 watches on LB, and it features Michael Gough as an evil zookeeper who uses his animals to kill his rivals. It’s not a great movie but maybe worth a watch for Gough maniacally playing a pipe organ like the phantom of the opera while surrounded by lions and tigers that are clearly heavily sedated. Hell’s Ground (2007) is at 555 watches, it’s basically a Pakistani take on the Texas Chain Saw Massacre but also there are zombies. It’s more interesting for being a gory Pakistani horror movie than it is a great film though.

have yall seen slasher.tv ? It's literally facebook/twitter but for horror fans. Not sure where it came from or how long it's been around, but it certainly has the theming down. Not sure it's useful when I can just go to the horror feed on my bluesky (or come here) but it exists!

That could be fun. Horror fans more often than not from my experience are mostly cool. The only thing they do that’s iffy but fun is they def play the “you cool Game” where they’ll name their favorite Jason that isn’t Kane Hodder Mine is CJ Graham but Ted White was cool.

Like someone could just stand up a horror movie themed Mastodon server and not have the walled garden issue of whatever one-off software this is running. Otherwise people are just gonna keep using whatever they're already using to talk horror flicks.

End of Days is legit good. You got Gabriel Byrne playing the loving devil. You got Arnold playing a washed out cop. The whole movie seems to think that New York rains 90% of the time. You got a killer ending.

The Boogeyman has a cool monster but some of the absolute worst sound mixing I've ever heard. Hope you like songs that start and then abruptly stop a couple seconds later when they jump cut to a new scene, because that happens at least three times here! e: Apparently this was directed by Rob Savage of DASHCAM fame so, uhh, guess that explains it. The man loves his lovely audio mixing. PKMN Trainer Red fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Aug 30, 2023 |

My favorite horror with sub-1K Letterboxd reviews: Teratomorph and South Mill District and Variant Slow-paced micro-budget mood pieces with some great schlocky practical effects and some cool heady ideas. My favorite kind of micro-budget, with both high and low ambitions. Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow A group of young drag racers squat in a haunted house, throw a halloween party, and accidentally invite a real monster. Super fun rebel youths meet a monster thing. Weedjies A Full Moon budget Gremlins ripoff that takes place at a Halloween party. Not enough weed jokes and the story is no good, but the great puppets and the fun gags definitely make it worthwhile if you just want a decent little Gremlins/Ghoulies/etc. kinda thing. Monster from Green Hell A solid 50s b-movie that doesn't do anything particularly interesting, but is very fun and has some really solid effects, especially the stop-motion. Better than many of its much more popular contemporaries. The Colossus of New York and The Flesh Eaters Another couple solid 50s b-movies that are fun, well-made, and enjoyable but don't break the mold.

Yeah I have a soft spot for religious horror for whatever reason (I also love the Ninth Gate even though I accept it's not a good movie), and I love Arnold so that movie hit me right in the good part of my brain.

Going back to our discussion of Tubi trash, last night I was inspired to watch Microwave Massacre. Unfortunately, it's a bloodless, painfully unfunny, mostly boring turd. (Hilariously, I watched a 20-minute making-of featurette afterwards, and apparently the lead actor thought they were making a terse interrogation of the effect of technology on society.) I will say it's had some great posters/cover art over the years:
