I was not at all expecting that, holy poo poo. that or the hand scene in Gerald's Game, but yeah it's rad how much he stepped on the gas for the ending of that episode FLANAGAN i'm begging you commit to making a straight-up brutal goopy killfest. a slasher that only targets monologists, maybe

Finally starting into 30 Coins season 2 (just finished episode 4). I love how utterly batshit and unhinged this show is and how it doesn’t hide or run from that aspect.

Either a dire year for horror or I didn't watch enough. I am seeing Gozilla -1 on Wednesday, so that might move the needle.

It was a front-loaded year for me, three of my top 5 are listed as 2022 on Letterboxd because of festival showings but didn’t actually get releases until Jan/Feb of this year. History of the Occult is one I haven’t seen yet that people around here seem to really like, I’ll have to check that out soon.

Might as well ask since I'm looking things over, but how is the Screambox service? I've got Shudder as it's own sub, but I know it doesn't have all the options when it's done through Prime.

if history of the occult counts for 2023 that's my flick of the year. Though there's a bunch I haven't seen yet.

It’s been a great and stacked year and I haven’t even seen everything I’ve wanted to yet eitherM_Sinistrari posted:Might as well ask since I'm looking things over, but how is the Screambox service? I've got Shudder as its own sub, but I know it doesn't have all the options when it's done through Prime. It’s pretty good. Honestly think I’ve enjoyed what I’ve randomly put on this year more often on there than on Shudder, even in the originals department. I’d recommend checking it out for at least a month and seeing what you think

the Phantasm series, esp 1+2, was easily in my favourite new watches this year. don't make my mistake and sleep on it for like twenty years

Screambox is worth it if briefly for that gorgeous Trick Or Treat remaster. Such a fun film.

The first two are legitimately great, and 3-5 are perfect examples of ambition outreaching budget.

Psycho Goreman was kind of hit and miss for me but that Phantasm gag in it is some A+ material and made me do the Leonardo DiCaprio point at the TV in real life.

I ain't saying a word against Patrcik Wilson but Hawke really elevates that character in Sinister. It's a standard lovely dad, but Hawke gives him this kinda manic energy that lets you really feel the stress he's under. Both professionally and dealing with the demon situation

I don't mind the Conjuring series. The first one is legit scary and the rest are good summer trash. I agree Hawke > Wilson but him and Farmiga were really good in the first movie. Sinister was great up until the Baghoul part. They should have never showed the demon corrupting the kids.

They fuckin establish that it only exists in pictures, and that’s such a great concept. But then they abandon that for some stupid jump scares.

I didn’t like Sinister, the home movies were cool but the guy in a slipknot mask going “boogedy boo” just didn’t work for me. Found it kinda flat and boring. I love Insidious however, I think its having fun and the spirit Halloween darth maul did work for me so really I’m just a man of complicated tastes.

The Black Phone was one of my best surprises of last year. Loved it. Big fan of The Conjuring 2. The love story gets me. Yes, I know the real Warrens were charlatans, but god drat I love Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga so much. The ending really hits me in the heart.

Sinister series also has James Ransone, who has such a bizarre 'nervous guy' onscreen energy and charisma but is always great to watch
