Update: I stopped watching and went to the store during the one where they go to the mansion for a party and nobody is there. I had been watching for like 4 hours at that point. And hell, I was scared!

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

You're close. In each of the videos with men operating the camera they employ an overt male gaze and proceed to meet violent ends. Except for the skype story where he's aiding the aliens, reversing his presumed hero role.

I was impressed by this low budget movies contribution to the horror genre

What about the honeymoon one? I don't remember if the party that met a violent end was employing a male gaze, but it's been a while since I saw it.

also this movie is pretty good. don't bother with the second one, it's not nearly as good.

The second had the cult one that was pretty good, and the decent eye one. Now the third I only remember any of the stories as "some stupid poo poo".

Housebound is great. People will be saying The Babadook, but they are liars.

Also These Final Hours isn't spooky, but it's so goddamn grim you'll be feeling suicidal for a couple days after.

thanks. I'll check em out.

I'll also look for a couple of old school faves:

The Raven it's heaped high with stars! Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and loving near teenagers Sharon Tate and Jack Nicholson!
and
Premature Burial I've seen it only once in my life, but the dream sequence struck me as both incredibly creepy and wile e coyote hilarious at the same time.

e: the 62 film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056368/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

e2: ha! I remember now, it was in 1972, a halloween triple feature at a local theatre: Premature Burial, and the other two movies were House of Usher and Pit and the Pendulum. I went with my brothers and our cousin egghead was there in the front row tripping on acid and digging the movies.

the babadook is pretty spooky and has great tone but its got a terrible "happy" ending which sucks tho i remember some goon saying the movie is a metaphor for grief which makes alot of sense

Yeah. It's bog standard up to the halfway point, and then goes all People Under the Stairs. I tired like three times to watch it but kept giving up before it gets good.

the succubus doesn't like the one guy who appears to be the most decent one out of the group (he stops the one dude from passed-out-drunk-raping the other girl), but why does she appear to be the most attracted to the dude with the glasses who's recording? he's like neutral at best, is that a desirable quality for whatever she is (succubus or whatever)?

It always surprises me when people need that pointed out. They aren't subtle at all with it. The whole movie is like them yelling "hey guys look at what we are doing" while beating you on the head with tge metaphor.

Seriously, it's pretty heavy handed at explaining what the situation is. Are movie goers really that stupid these days?

i dont watch horror movies with any kind of analysis in mind personally i wanna be spooked not have to think about stuff. i find that when horror tries to be about something it can lose its effectiveness by changing tone usually so the characters can overcome instead of dying miserably like they should. It Follows for example im pretty sure that movie was trying to say something cause but it totally goes to poo poo about halfway through and wastes the excellent premise and tension it had build up

I wasn't trying to imply it was a good/insightful movie or anything. I hate it. It Follows wasn't awful on the first watch but they were also extremely heavy handed with their "message"/metaphor. I think even the best horror movies have some kind of message/point, but what separates them from the bad modern ones is knowing when to be subtle about it instead of assuming your audience is braindead and needs it spoonfed to them.
