CARNIVAL OF SOULS is an old old old movie but still manages to be creepy as hell

I think I'll watch "it Follows" again. I'll probably also browse Netflix's and HBO's library to see if they have anything good.

The Evil Dead trilogy. It's a classic and most people have already seen it, but it deserves a space on any list of scary movies.Anne Whateley posted:fwiw, I watched Get Out with friends who had already seen it, so there were a couple moments where they told me to look away, which I'm guessing was a good call. If Poltergeist has jump scares, that's prob a no for me Poltergeist is not for you.

Cubone posted:Hagazussa is good if you liked The VVitch but thought it was a little too fast-paced and upbeat Oh dang. I hated the VVitch. I burst out laughing in the theater when the goat started talking. Dumb as gently caress but somehow entertaining with pretty drat good practical effects...Wolfcop. Don't bother with the sequel though. Green Room is more of a thriller but pretty tense and gory. Under the Shadow is a Persian horror movie that takes place during the Iran-Iraq war. How many djinn horror movies you seen? Arachnophobia and Tremors if you need to scratch that horror/comedy itch.

sporklift posted:Dumb as gently caress but somehow entertaining with pretty drat good practical effects...Wolfcop. Don't bother with the sequel though. Whoa, the sequel actually happened? I agree the original was both dumb and entertaining. Wasn't expecting it to be fun when I put it in my Netflix queue. The Void is a decent enough recent horror movie. Fell off toward the end, but the beginning I liked, it felt kind of like a horror version of Assault on Precinct 13. Any and all John Carpenter movies are golden, even the ones with lukewarm reviews. The Thing is the greatest horror movie of all time. All of the old Universal Monster movies still own bones. I've got a question for you guys. Are there any horror movies you remember being super scary when you first saw them, but on a rewatch you can't understand why you thought that? For me it was the TCM remake. I saw it with my friend in a packed theater on opening night, and it felt so scary. A few years later I popped it on and couldn't believe I'd ever thought that. It was terrible. I wonder if it was not only the fact several years had passed, but also it not being the same setting (people in the audience freaking out, my friend death-gripping my arm at scares, etc)

The Gate has come up a few times, and I just wanted to share that I saw it as a wee little kid, and it traumatized me for a while. I absolutely refused to do more then glance at a mirror for months. That goddamn dead construction worker! There was a sequel that took place a few years after the first movie. Wasn't as good IMO.

Possession (1980) - A man returns home from a trip to find his wife behaving oddly. From here things quickly spiral out of control. This movie starts off the rails continues to ride into complete madness. It's probably my favorite horror film. Trailer: https://youtu.be/uDpFpzbwfiw Night of the Demons(1988) - A group of high school kids go to a party at a old funeral parlor on Halloween night. They get possessed by demons ans start killing each other. Trailer: https://youtu.be/tQ7gSRfUCH0 Spookies (1986) - This is essentially two movies spliced together: one plot involves a group of people being targeted by a Warlock too keep his wife alive and a kid being stalked by a weremonster. Trailer: https://youtu.be/t63eyaVgciE Drunken Baker posted:For a real scare turn your monitor... to whatever program you use to watch films and watch The Borderlands sometimes known as "Final Prayer". The Vatican send a priest and a tech-guy to a small church in the middle of nowhere Scotland in order to verify (but more likely to debunk) a haunting. This is a quality recommendation.

OregonDonor posted:The Blair Witch Project is honestly my all-time favorite horror film. Everything from the uniqueness of how it was produced, its subtle but effective mythology (its verisimilitude, I guess), to its marketing campaign, to the way in which it affected the culture, to simply watching and enjoying it as a movie—I keep coming back to it and it still fascinates me. I gotta say the first time seeing Blair Witch as a kid in theatres was like nothing else since. Fantastic movie.

Definitely not traditional horror but Green Room is excellent. A punk band witnesses a murder at a neo-Nazi club and have to fight for survival against a bunch of skinheads. Features Patrick Stewart as a neo-Nazi. The Wailing - Soon after a stranger arrives in a little village, a mysterious sickness starts spreading. A policeman, drawn into the incident, is forced to solve the mystery in order to save his daughter. A very entertaining Korean horror film.

Most of my faves have already be mentioned, so I'll just say that the new remake to Child's Play is better than expected. In the original the doll is possessed by the soul of an evil dude via black magic, and the new one it's just a malfunctioning AI which sounds lame, but it's a fun and weirdly sweet film. If the 1988 original was milking fears of the Satanic Panic, the 2019 version taps into fear of the "Internet of Things".

I'm a big fan of zombie movies. There's a wealth of titles here so here's my top5: 1. Return of the Living Dead (1985) 2. Dawn of the Dead (2004) 3. Train to Busan (2016) 4. Day of the Dead (1985) 5. Night of the Living Dead (1968) There's way more than this though, zombie films could fill a whole week of movie nights

Drag Me to Hell isn't as beloved as Evil Dead, but it's awesome and a lot of fun. It also includes an amazing scene where the main character thinks she's defeated the evil curse and let an old woman rest in peace, only to have someone basically say "Sorry, you completely misunderstood what happened here. You're hosed."

My sister said Drag me to Hell was poo poo because she kept laughing at all the comedy gags in it. You're laughing at comedy gags. It's a good movie. Loads of people walked out when she killed the cat.* *The chick in the film. Not my sister.

I asked in another thread and got a few decent suggestions and I'll ask again here: can anybody recommend good shows or movies about social breakdown at the onset of some great catastrophe or horror event? The beginning of 28 Days Later does a great job alluding to it, I Am Legend and World War Z touch on it, Children of Men is probably the best one I've seen but it's more of a thriller than the more direct kind of horror I'm hoping for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly7Laj8Yp6w

Captain Yossarian posted:No original Dawn of the Dead on here? What in tarnation I live about 15 minutes away from the mall where they filmed Dawn of the Dead. It's great because you can still see the basic layout from the movie to this day. And this past year they did a "Living Dead Weekend" at the mall where they played the movie and had a bunch of people from the movie show up and talk about how insane/cool it was to work on the film. At the end of the day they played "The Gunk" (that song from the end credits) over the loudspeakers.

Night of the Comet is a great, campy take on a post-apocalyptic world. It's a lot of fun and still holds up. Also The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price is based on I Am Legend but does a much better job with it. It's a classic. 10 Cloverfield Lane is one I enjoyed more than most people. It's weird but I liked it. I don't know if I'd call any of these horror movies necessarily, but they're sweet examples of the theme you're looking for.

internet celebrity posted:Hereditary (2018) and Midsommar (2019) were both really good for gory and unsettling horror, I'll be keeping an eye on anything else Ari Astor does. Midsommar kind of feels like it had a ton of material cut though because there are some significant feeling plot threads that are just dropped. Hereditary hosed me up for a while. It has a few jump scares and gore, but it in no way is a typical scare flick. To me it was a slow burn psychological horror. Right from the start it had this extremely unsettling way it was shot. Like how they showed the house and the grandma out in a field with fire with these long shots. The way the colours look. The dissonant music throughout. It makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. I'm definitely going to check out Midsommar. former glory fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Sep 26, 2019 |

Rad-daddio posted:Are there any good low budget found footage horror movies floating around? It's more creepy than horror, but I enjoyed The St. Francisville Experiment. It's basically the Blair Witch Project, only instead of the woods, it's a haunted house. No gore or anything, so it's fine for kids or the squeamish.

I thought Grave Encounters was decent enough although I might be biased since I love the premise. It was the found footage of a bunch of professional ghost hunters getting caught in a real haunted place when they thought it was just going to be more of the same.

Midsommar feels like it was edited too far and lost a lot of it's justifications for events and behaviors along the way. Hereditary is much tighter and self contained

I love the part in the original Purge movie (at least I think it was the original) where the you see various groups and individuals getting ready before Purge Time kicks in. You see some people obviously fearing for safety, and they're battening down the hatches, trying to settle in and keep safe. Others are dressing up like it's a party atmosphere. Then you see a lone guy up on the roof of an apartment building, a scoped rifle sitting beside him, and he pops the top off a beer bottle as he gets ready to settle in for a night of sipping beers, and taking pot-shots at randos on the street. Not a movie, but there's a book I read that does the "beginning of the end" thing really well, One Second After, by William R. Forstchen. The book is about society falling apart after an EMP attack wipes out modern technology/infrastructure, and sends everyone back to the dark ages. It paints a detailed picture of what happens when there's no more trucks coming to resupply the supermarket, there's no communication to tell you what's happening, and how fragile day to day life can be when the technological support network gets yanked out from under everybody. CAVEAT ABOUT THE BOOK: The author leans pretty hard into Religious Conservative ideas, (Newt Gingrich wrote the foreword ffs) and the second and third books dive straight in to Right-wing Survivalist Nutjob's Wet Dream territory. That having been said, if you can look past those bits without giving yourself whiplash from rolling your eyes so hard, the actual bits about poo poo slowly sliding into the fan is very well done.
