Any recommendations for recent (last 3 months or so) horror movies added to Shudder, Netflix or Paramount+?

Crescent Wrench posted:I had some mild interest in Run Rabbit Run just for her, but it's growing milder with each tepid review. So I can't speak to any of those horror films, but I did watch Predestination earlier in the week. It's different than I expected given the schlock premise (a time traveling temporal agent hops around the timelines to catch killers before they commit their crimes). It's really all about the characterization and the time travel paradoxes. I didn't realize it was based on a Heinlein story. That being said, Snook is definitely the reason to watch it. Ethan Hawke has top billing, but it feels like she has as much if not more screen time and really anchors the movie. I watched Rabbit a couple nights ago and it was just boring, tropey bland safe horror. I think they were going for a shock ending but it couldn't have been telegraphed larger if there was a blimp flying around with the ending spelled out

M_Sinistrari posted:That was scary good for $200. Makes me think of the zombie film I did when I was a kid and what could've happened if we had actual money instead of Mom's lasagna. Haha that reminded me of the "movie" we made as kids about a scientist who drank Pepsi and turned into a Werewolf and the cure was to give him Diet Pepsi

I just watched Influencer and I really liked it! Very cool hook. I do have a question - I assumed right away that Madison would take her revenge so I was watching looking for clues that she had survival skills, like a picture on her feed of her in a survival camp or something that was just below the picture CK was looking at. I didn't catch any clues unfortunately, but I did browse my phone a couple times. Was there any clue before the return to the island?

Zwabu posted:I don’t recall seeing any clues of this type. That's really a bummer they had so many opportunities to subtlety do that. Show posts in her feed and like 3 of them are survivalist tips, etc. The impression I was building of her with the guess that she survived was that she just recently became an influencer when she met Ryan, but before that she wasn't social and had experience. But oh well, plot twist of her just making it works too. And you're right, if that were me I'd dump the body and take a month or so break and hightail it out

Erin M. Fiasco posted:On the subject of unnecessary sequels, my partner has spent several years trying to convince me that Weekend At Bernie's 2 exists and I adamantly refuse to believe it. His corpse gets beaten to poo poo and shot at the end. There's no way. I saw that when I was probably too young, and it was back when my brain assumed "Sequel/Remake is newer and newer = better". Even as a kid I watched that and though it was poo poo.

alf_pogs posted:I just watched Becky and it was quite good. loved seeing a few dollars in physical effects onscreen, the lawnmower aftermath was great I prefer the sequel (maybe because I watched it first) but both movies are in my "Oh holy poo poo this surprised me and I enjoyed the gently caress out of them" bucket. I really wasn't expecting them to be as fun as they are. From Wrath of Becky "You missed my brain!" is one of the funniest gags I've seen in a while.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:I'm no fan of Ends, but felt it at least had a good idea buried inside it. This just feels creatively bankrupt. Halloween Ends was not a movie I enjoyed but I had to give them credit for swinging for the fences. Of course then they messed it up by tacking on the final battle. I think I would have actually given it a positive review if it just had the balls to stick with the risky premise.

Crescent Wrench posted:Oh man, I love Clue, including the ending gimmick. I'm sure I can track down the endings if I'm so inclined though... When we were exiting the theater for Clue (I'm old) there were 3 lines for 3 different endings. While walking by the line near our exit a friend shouted loudly "I can't believe the killer was Professor Plum (or whatever, it wasn't the actual killer from the ending) and a bunch of people looked super pissed and moved to another line. Hilarious as a kid, I'd be pissed as an adult.

Went and saw Talk to Me and loved it, what great direction and sound, even if the plot has been done before. Though I kept imagining an alternate version where They have absolute proof of the afterlife that is instantly provable. I'm picturing a version where after the kid gets to the hospital they take the hand to the police, show them that it works and then put together a crack team of experts to theorize possible solutions to save the kid. "I didn't do anything!" "Sure you didn't" "No, seriously, hold this for a second" "Oh holy poo poo you weren't lying, let's get on this!" Edit - It was great, people actually left the theater I was in, and got an annoyed sigh from someone next to me because I was laughing so hard at "the big scene"

flashy_mcflash posted:Count me in for just being kinda 'eh' on Cobweb. It's mostly just twist upon twist with nothing really to say that I can discern, and isn't quite dumb enough to laugh at (though it's close). Caplan and Starr are real good though and it made me want to see them both together in a better movie. This is pretty much exactly how I felt. The story was nothing special and nothing I hadn't seen before. I do appreciate that they did the fakeout of making you think it was a ghost in the beginning, likely the little girl that disappeared that was mentioned. I also appreciate that they were trying to do the twist of "The parents aren't actually evil, they're just protecting people from their monstrous child", except they failed at that by making the parents actually legitimately bad people. The ending would have hit a lot harder if after the reveal of feral girl you realized they were doing everything they could to protect their son. It was okay, but glad I watched it at home while cleaning the living room. Edit - Also the ending was king "why the gently caress didn't you call the cops". They have the girl trapped, call the cops to get her and imprison/commit her. I'm trying to figure out what was expected to go down there, there's dead bodies everywhere, how is that going to be explained? Instead they just let her monologue that he'll be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life because she's alive. Which I suppose could happen if she was imprisoned too, but I didn't get that impression Medullah fucked around with this message at 13:39 on Aug 14, 2023 |

Halloween Jack posted:Blind Dead 2 is my favourite. It's a Spanish film that has all the characteristics of classic Italian horror: a small rural village, an abandoned castle, a flashback to medieval times, a corrupt police force, a village idiot, an even dumber mayor, a scandalous love affair, and people drinking whiskey out of Collins glasses for some reason. Thought that was the MyPillow guy for a sec

The Ring was the first movie I think I was ever actually unnerved by and was a bit jumpy at the house for a few hours. The Grudge did similar, but that was perfect time - I had literally just moved into a new house from the 1940s the weekend earlier. Every goddam sound was my death coming.
