Id rather watch Michael again. oof. sufficient quantities of competent gore can sustain me through something under 90 minutes even n a movie otherwise devoid of any merit, but that thing was like two and a half hours long and judging by all of the previous films, the only other remotely notable thing would have been the director shamelessly shouting "but do you see how big the clowns teeth look when he smiles?" coming through ever so subtly through the rear speakers during the credits when watched in a theatre will old school thx surround sound

Mumpy Puffinz posted:try some 80s and 90s schlock horror. Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Pet Semetery. You have to learn how to be scared before you like horror movies. Try Event Horizon if you like sci fi I'll give it a shot. It will be weird watching stuff I've only ever seen as references in early Simpsons halloween episodes.

I’m saving it for a secret Easter weekend horror marathon for me and my partner, because he surprised me with a Helsinki trip for our anniversary. no spoilers but I’m so happy to hear!!!it’s on the list! Actually, with that, can I query for some recommends? He still has a soft spot for zombies and while I’m kinda burnt out on it, he always loves a zombie film. He’s seen Romero “…of the dead” and related offshoots and most major tentpole zombie films with odd Italian ones, weirdly enough. But I want to find something that isn’t some grimdark poo poo from 2007, I am tired of it. My area of horror interest is 70s-90s and it can be schlock, but not the real dredges of Troma. some Troma is ok

Sometimes you just want to watch over the top gore and that’s ok (in a fuckin movie settle down) I think Art is a solid villain, like there is potential for a better film with him as the villain. Now, will it be Terrifier…? Maybe not.

Not recent at all but Green Room is fantastic. Kind of along the lines of real world poo poo that op mentions. Maybe it's not quite horror, but dumb violents neonazis irl are way scarier than made up zombie bullshit. X was very good, haven't gotten around to watching Pearl yet. I lost some faith in Ti West after Sacrament but glad to see he's still got it. His older stuff's worth watching -- House of the Devil is very good if you like slow burn horror. Most recently, Smile was pretty good. Not sure the ending was my favorite but dug the psychological layer throughout the whole thing.

I thought Overlord was ok; WW2 and Nazi zombies. Deadly Friend is 80s cheese. Dagon was really good imo, if it's available anywhere. From Beyond is one of my favorites. Mandy was awesome.

Offshoots including Return of the Living Dead, Shaun of the Dead and Zombi 2 (aka Zombie Flesh Eaters)? Would recommend any of those if he hasn't seen them. One Cut of the Dead is a Japanese film from a few years ago. It's super low-budget, but full of charm and best gone into blind. City of the Living Dead is worth a watch. It's surreal and nightmarish and at times boak-inducing, in other words classic Fulci.

I'm assuming he's watched the rec series already, but if not the first rec felt like a fresh twist to the zombie thing at the time. You might decide it's literally some grimdark poo poo from 2007 and not necessarily be wrong (down to the year), but I think it's usually well-regarded. I'd avoid the rest as they get progressively worse (rec 2 is ok, rec 3 is straight up garbage).

teen witch posted:Is Sharon, Lois and/or Bram involved? It astonishes me that up until COVID they were still touring. Well, "Lois" retired from the touring but still recorded music with them until her death in 2015. It's amazing what musicians just keep going for decades after their moment in the spotlight. They did say they were doing a 'retirement tour' in 2019, so maybe their time is finally done, but still, it's impressive.

beer gas canister posted:Bring back slightly boring, low-gore Hitchcockian slow burn i'll second pontypool as a recommendation. hereditary and midsommar might also work for you. there is gore, but it's used fairly sparingly and to good effect. teen witch posted:I’m saving it for a secret Easter weekend horror marathon for me and my partner, because he surprised me with a Helsinki trip for our anniversary. no spoilers but I’m so happy to hear!!!it’s on the list! since he's still into zombies, pontypool might be a good choice for you, too. also the zombi sequels made by claudio fragasso and bruno mattei, though they may maybe be too schlocky for your own tastes. given the presence of cannibal corpse and behemoth i also think your partner might enjoy deathgasm and the tv series todd and the book of pure evil. more comedy than horror, but both tons of fun. you're next, the guest and seance all have solid "female protagonist refuses to be a victim" themes. those and jakob's wife seem like they would fit pretty well into your "good for her" sub-genre. e: bodies, bodies bodies is also good fun. i'm a big fan of watching whiny entitled dipshits selfish themselves to death.

The most recent ones that come to mind are The Woman in Black and Crimson Peak, and the latter came out in 2015 (if I’m wrong and there’s some newer stuff, let me know!). Give me some new movies similar to The Innocents, The Haunting, and The Devil’s Backbone with beautiful cinematography and camera work such as these.

The George C Scott one, not the more recent one. That seems to be exactly the type of movie you're looking for.

Hollismason posted:You should watch Possession with her. We watched Possession before for this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElvLZMsYXlo It didn't go over well. I liked it. It was weird. There was absolutely nothing we hadn't seen on Prime or HBOmax or on the Chinese website we use to watch movies so we wound up watching "Missing" starring the little sister from Euphoria and the Chinese guy who beats up Junior Soprano. It had us entergaged but was pretty stupid and we hated the format of the whole thing being on computer screens.

Oh wow, this is one I always casually forget because I haven’t seen it in some time. I own it and it is incredible. Gonna give it a watch today since I’ve got nothing else to do. Thanks for reminding me of this gem  George C. Scott should have done more horror films because he was great in The Exorcist III, too.Anyone ever seen 1981’s Ghost Story with Fred Astaire? I’ve seen a few clips that have nice goopy special effects (the best), but the story sounds pretty pretty basic and I have never seen it.

I read the book and really disliked it, it just didn't click for me. Then I saw an extended bunch of clips from the movie recently, and all of them looked really cool. I just picked up a Blu Ray copy for cheap, hoping to watch it soon. The novel just seemed really boring and long-winded to me. It had some really good scares, though, so I'm hoping the movie is a more condensed version of that.
