Speaking of specific places for horror, I made a list of movies where very bad things happen on commercial airlines, since I personally really hate flying. Die Hard 2's crash scene is particularly upsetting for what is otherwise a goofy action trifle.

I don't think they thought that part through very well. Driving off as the credits roll over Christmas music was fine in the first movie because they saved all the hostages. But in the 2nd one they do the same thing only there's 200 bodies still smoking on the runway 100 yards away. Hits a bit different IMO.

But also check out He Never Died. A stretch to call it a horror movie, more supernatural drama with some light goop. I've never thought much of Henry Rollins as an actor but this role is perfect for his more wooden emotionless style.

i'll vouch for he never died. i don't know if it's very good but it sticks with me more than a bunch of other movies. it's a good and violent and not so serious time.

There's probably a better way to phrase this, but it's one of the more "realistic" depictions of what endless life would actually do to a person. Sure it would be all fun an games at first, but after watching your 10th wife grow old and die before your eyes at what point would you just stop making human connections or valuing others at all?

My parents couldn't find a babysitter so they took me with when they saw The Exorcist at the show. Still wasn't enough for me to invoke the family rule of if I wanted to leave for whatever reason, I just had to say so and we'd leave. Only invoked it on a Bambi theatrical rerelease.

I remember watching Disney's Snow White in theaters when I was real little, maybe 5 or 6. The part at the end where the stepmother is all witched up and running around in a lightning storm scared me bad enough to start crying. My dad picked me up and carried me to the back of the theater but didn't actually leave because like gently caress he's gonna miss the end like that :lol:

Oh and the normal warning when Descent talk starts up: do not, under any circumstances, watch Descent 2

It's not as good as the first one by any stretch, but if you DID like the first one it's not ~terrible~ IMO. Certainly watchable by dumb horror movie standards.

VROOM VROOM posted:

it is very funny that The Descent 2 is only compatible with the bad version of the first one's ending and is therefore not canon

Guess I need to look this up, I've only ever seen the US cut. But even then they don't line up very well; the first one ends with her sitting in their jeep and the 2nd one opens with her stumbling through the woods with temporary amnesia :rolleyes:

Punkin Spunkin posted:

I'm 99% sure my love for the original made me see Descent 2 at some point but I can't remember a second of it

The only truly egregious bullshit in D2 is that in the 15 minutes since the first movie ends the Last Girl 1) ditches her working vehicle in favor of stumbling through the mountains and 2) spontaneously develops PTSD-induced short-term amnesia. Beyond that it's just more Descent, but not as good because now we're all familiar with the premise and they don't really do anything further with it. Still kind of worth it for the guano latrine scene if nothing else.

Bone tomahawk was good. Idk if it works now but I really loved the slow burn, good actors and the amazing gore scene in the last act.

It�s a fun little exploitation western horror noir? thing.

But eff the rest of his out put.

I know the director is problematic at best, but I like Dragged Across Concrete too It's more thriller/crime noir than horror (though there is at least one scene that would definitely qualify). Dirty cops find out about a bank heist going down and plan to rob the robbers. Things go... poorly.

The last act of Brawl in Cell Block 99 is also pretty much horror. Man I've seen more Zahler than I thought :ohdear:

Basebf555 posted:

You do need some sort of time or generational element for It to work though, that's a huge part of what makes it compelling and scary. This thing has literally been there since before Derry existed, and seeing kids have to come back as adults to fight It a second time is too important to the story to toss out.

At a minimum they needed to mix the 2 time periods together, which IIRC is a lot closer to how the book is laid out.

A Fancy Hat posted:

Like Chapter 1 definitely had some issues (chiefly Bev being turned into a kidnapping victim at the end to unite the boys to help her) but it's still a very fun horror movie worth watching. I dunno when I'll revisit Chapter 2, if ever.

Knowing what they're cutting around in how the group bonds in the book, I feel this is an area where allowances can be made.

this was included with that Severin doc "Tales of the Uncanny" and it's a pretty neat movie. I don't think I'd buy it again but if you haven't seen it and you're interested in pre-code horror it's definitely worth checking out.

Pre-code is a real weird time, especially for horror. You couldn't put anything too explicit on screen to avoid offending everyone's delicate sensibilities, but at the same time there were technically no rules so you could also be brutal as gently caress. In Terror Aboard (1933) the killer just shoves a fully awake woman into a freezer then comes back later when she's frozen to death.

Also, the meme thread is getting pretty spooky...
