>being allowed near his wife with no guards around
>kissing her knowing she’s infected
The opening was so kino but the rest was retarded

>>211624571
He didn't know though. Pretty sure the scientist was the only one and she just found out. And the guard was just like outside or something.

>>211624571
I think the opening of the new one is gonna be worth the price of entry because the first two have bangers.

>>211624517 (OP)
is 28 days a parody? Why does this look so goofy

>>211624750
this is weeks

>>211624571
It felt like the film was somehow rushed despite the nearly 5 year gap between sequels. Shame too since the set up was decent and there were still novel ideas like immune and smarter infected, they just had no clue what to do with the second and third acts.

Is that achievable running form? I dream to be able to convey such emotion.

>>211624517 (OP)
I have only ever seen the intro of this movie
>>211624870
>the scientists were in fact for the most part just dicking around and putting his men at risk for nothing
He was an asshole and his subordinates lacked discipline but he wasn't wrong

>>211624957
It has it's moments but is a bit of a wasted premise. The intro is the best bit.

>>211624875
not everyone has an aesthetic run. that's why Tom Cruise is the goat.

>>211624957
>He was an asshole
He was, but that was the correct thing to be. He was put in charge after Major Cooper got killed, and the scientists said Cooper was a lot nicer. So, naturally, Rhodes takes over and just lays down the law to minimize casualties, and tells the scientists that they need to show that their work has some value to make up for the human cost it's been inflicting.

Has there ever been a comfier cast? Genuine question.
The Raven is also peak kino for the same reason.

>>211625460
haven't seen this yet but it exists.
I agree though, for me it's The Raven.

>>211625460
>Joyce Jameson
what a babe. just read her wikipedia entry, apparently she died of an overdose. rip, too common for actresses of that era.

>>211625603
Price, Lee, and Cushing are all great, but I don't think they play off each other as well. Throwing some more comedy-leaning actors in the mix makes for a great combination of fun and creepy.

What concept or scene or idea from a horror movie has genuinely spooked/unsettled you? Most times I watch horror movies I just get jumpscared by a monster that would never exist in reality and it makes the experience kinda weak.

>>211625802
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein has a great cast. Vincent Price actually does the voice of The Invisible Man.
I might have to rewatch that for Halloween.

>>211625211
YE

>>211625925
I find unexplainable places/zones/events to be creepy. Like in The Vault of Horror (aka Tales from the Crypt II) there's a short where a woman climbs up a rope and disappears with a scream and some blood. Or like Picnic at Hanging Rock or Stalker.

>>211625925
The only thing that gets me anymore is body horror stuff, and even then it's not nearly as traumatizing as anything I viewed as a child.

Excited to see 28 Years tomorrow but at the same time I'm really nervous it's going to be shit

>>211626903
Didn't realize it was tomorrow. There's a handy 6pm slot as well... may as well go.

>>211626903
Also Alex Garland is writing it again so I'm fully prepared for it to be shit.

>>211625673
Where's the Jordan Peele remake?

>>211628248
No clue, just saw it got released on a tracker I'm on. If it doesn't get horrible reviews, I'll give a go before the end of the month. Could watch the entire thing in 5 hours or so, not that big of an investment.

>>211628273

Lame twist

>>211629036

I tried to warn you that it was a shit movie.

>>211629196
I didn't visit horror generals for a while, so I missed your warning.

>>211629036
What is it anon

>>211629306
The killer doll was the weirdo girl in a suit instead a doll enchanted with voodoo. The twist was implausible and completely ruined the movie.

>>211629380
I was gonna say that kek.
Junji Ito still has the creepiest doll.

>>211629380

Yes, it definitely wasn't the fact the acting sucks ass or that it looks & was written like a fucking Lifetime movie.

Lake Mungo got me.

>>211624571
He ran the place. He was AAA (Access All Areas). Nobody "allowed" him to do it, he just did because he could. And nobody told him she was infected. In fact that dumb scientist broad didn't tell anyone, which is how the virus ended up spreading to France at the end.

>>211629993
Here's hoping. My buds are seeing it tonight and I can't go :(

>>211630057
Fr fr, there's just something inherently terrifying and existentially dreadful about coming face to face with your own bloated and rotting corpse.

>>211630565
That's a good point on the first part, he says that explicitly. I actually liked the kiss setup, it resolved a tragic story happily and started off a worse one.
>In fact that dumb scientist broad didn't tell anyone, which is how the virus ended up spreading to France at the end.
She did tell a bunch of people, her superior and the sniper. That's why she was convincing him to get the kids off the island. But yeah she didn't forsee the danger of him getting bitten and carrying it. Which I think is fair, it requires foresight to see the chain happening.

What I thought was strange was the firebomb/exteriminatus shit. I mean, they didn't blow the country up before why do it now.

>>211626410
>I find unexplainable places/zones/events to be creepy.
Have you seen Cube?

>>211624870
Literally the only thing Rhodes did wrong was trying to flee a well stocked heavily fortified compound, especially since he would need a pilot that he was heavily antagonistic towards.
And not executing the spic on the spot for getting one of his men killed and being a general liability
Other than that Rhodes was right about everything

>>211630717
Yeah I have and enjoyed it, feels more like a government dark op though. For me it's more unnatural invisible phenomena without reason. Like the Bermuda Triangle freaked me out as a kid.
The Blair Witch Project is probably my top scary film and I'm now seeing it fits into that as well. I'm probably just better at scaring myself with the idea of the unknown.

>>211630791
I get in principle why he was mad at Sarah for drugging his man but Miguel really was fucked up and shouldn't have been given any level of responsibility

>>211630839
Intruder detected.

>>211624517 (OP)
Watched 28 Weeks Later a few days ago, didn't think it was that good. You didn't get a sense of the characters like in the first film, and it's overall way more conventional in story and visual approach.

>>211624517 (OP)
He was retarded. He kissed his infected wife.

>>211630840
What he really should have done was cut off his extra-curricular activities, or at least put him in quarantine. This would have had the benefit of giving the rest of them a shot at some loving.

>>211630877
>You didn't get a sense of the characters like in the first film
Yeah this was a bit of a fatal flaw. Basically they made a plot where the MC was being passed forward like a virus, and as each one died it was passed onto another. And by the end you're supposed to come around to the kids being the MCs, but it's like eh whatever.
If they had just had Poots instead of two of them it might have been stronger.

>>211630903
Hey, it's gonna be a long winter!

>>211630890
Not that retarded given all the news and his first hand experience was that if you're infected you turn within seconds.

>>211630840
Miguel was the villain of the movie

>first time seeing a zombie in the city he flees and leaves his girlfriend

>"Sarah, I'm scared"
>"Sarah, why aren't YOU scared? Fuck you, you don't know anything about my feelings
>"Okay Miguel, I'm scared too"
>"you're scared? lol you make me fucking sick"

>Gets a man killed due to incompetence
>Gets his arm lopped off and saved from execution
>Thanks his saviours and his girlfriend by letting the zombies into the compound because fuck you

>>211624517 (OP)
28 days later was so good
you see him wake up all alone at a hospital, then walk around completely empty streets
same premise as the ending of resident evil/beginning of resident evil apocalypse but executed so perfectly you really feel how fucked the situation has gotten

I will now watch your movie.

The actor that played Isaac in Children of the Corn was not a child but was in his 20s at the time, he’s some sort of midget or something idk.

>>211633087
Sounds like Burial Ground. They did it there so they could have a "child" that could act out scenes you can't make a real child do.

>>211626903

Yep

>>211625925
The conspiracy about the movie The Conspiracy was probably one of the most kino times that ever existed on this site, I think the director has since made another film (although some people do contest he actually made it) but until then the fact that he had just made this one movie and nothing else and was seemingly a ghost really was too good

>>211626410
In the original comic pieces of her come falling out of thin air.

Am I retarded for thinking blair witch is the best horror movie? I like the shining, the thing, texas chainsaw ect. but I don't think anything feels as unnerving

>>211629380
Wait, wasn't that kinda the twist in The Boy? Sort of anyhow.

>>211625240
one day…you too

How about that, it's time for another pointless post with my brief thoughts on what I just watched.

>Borderline (2025)
Absolute must watch IMO. This was just a pleasure to watch and hits the comedy parts just right. Alba Baptista is fantastic as Penny and was honestly the best part of the movie, which is saying something. Weaving lost her fake American accent twice just a tad that it's noticeable in 2 scenes and I had a good chuckle for it. Nicholson plays a crazy man so well with good comedic flare, just throwing himself into it. Also, it's just great when you can see his dad in him at times.
>Exeter (2015)
It's good, but not great. The twist reveal can be seen coming, but the ride was enjoyable. It did have some moments where it drags and none of the characters are likeable. Still would recommend it gets a watch because it's not a bad movie by any means.
>Hippopotamus (2018)
Not horror, but a drama-thriller. It's a 50/50 movie because of how slow it is. Yes, it's one of those movies where even at the end, you're not sure what was true and who was right or wrong. It's a good movie to have a debate about on those things, but it's definitely not a movie everyone is going to enjoy.

>>211635121
>movie's called Hippopotamus

>>211632675
Seconded.

>>211635157
The movie title is explained in a very brief exchange in the 3rd act. I would love a horror movie about a killer hippo, given just how extremely deadly they are IRL.

Why is there zero hype for this?

>>211635272
Not a franchise sequel I guess. Sounds interesting and I liked Barbarian so I'll watch it. That ai slop poster looks like ass but that's neither here nor there

>>211635272
It's a month and a half away, that's why. What usually happens is a trailer gets released, and we talk about it for a day or two at most. Then discussion picks up again the day before it's released and goes on for 1-3 days at most.

Never watched Mandy, is it good /hor/bros ?

>>211625307
it's supposed to be viewed in motion, obviously. the intro focuses on him for much of the escape which heightens tension as you see infected slowly close the gap behind him without it being the focus. i particularly like the shot where the other group of infected come over the hill at full tilt and start angling him off as he approaches the dock with the boat, they linger on it just long enough to let the zombies get alarmingly close to the guy. it's a 10/10 opening sequence

>>211635272

Thread opinion on Color Out of Space?

>>211629708
Just got back from this, solid movie. It does fall into the 28 Weeks trap where the beginning is amazing and the rest of the film doesn't quite hold up but unlike Weeks, it doesn't fall off hard and maintains a consistent level of quality.

It's basically a coming of age adventure story with zombies, the most interesting thing it does compared to other zombie flicks is that it actually tries to worldbuild with post-apocalyptic isolated Britian and the evolution of the Rage Virus. For that you probably shouldn't have watched the trailers because some scenes are framed to subvert your expectations on what you'd come to expect from the Infected of the series.

>>211602292
There are just so many great horror games some of which were quite revolutionary for gaming as a whole too but most of them aren't commonly thought of as being horror because of one particular franchise.

I love Resident Evil and without it I don't think horror in gaming would've been considered a thing at all, but I also dislike how 'survival horror' has completely muddied the waters and has skewed people's understanding of what it actually means, particularly the fixed camera tank control ones. I remember coming across some Reddit thread a few years ago asking if people considered Bloodborne a horror game and some of the answers said no because 'you're too powerful' but other posts correctly pointed out how they were obviously confusing horror with survival horror and I've seen that happen a lot myself over the years. Many people use the two terms completely interchangeably. For some gamers they also thoroughly believe that good action gameplay is antithetical to horror and it's primarily because of Resident Evil and Silent Hill too.

>>211635648
>>211602292

Survival horror itself has some of the most autistic gatekeepers you will ever meet online, particularly on /v/ where it got so bad with their purism at one point that they couldn't agree on a definition so it went from RE1 being the only game that adhered to their strict standards to not even RE1 being able to “”qualify”” as survival horror. It became this elusive genre that they both vehemently insisted and believed actually existed but simultaneously no game actually was because there was always too much action or too much ammo for their tastes or if it was like Outlast where you couldn't defend yourself at all suddenly there was too little action. There are a sizeable number of people who don't believe the genre is legitimate at all and they will never refer to a game as one, even the fixed camera ones, and it's because of places like /v/ and Reddit and even some Youtubers who act like they're the only ones with keys to the gate while constantly contradicting themselves and each other.

>>211635569
>Just got back from this, solid movie. It does fall into the 28 Weeks trap where the beginning is amazing and the rest of the film doesn't quite hold up but unlike Weeks, it doesn't fall off hard and maintains a consistent level of quality.

I am absolutely fine with that. I think it also looks like a really well done film judging from the trailer, like how the scenes are framed/shot.

>>211629708
>>211631195
Days is one of my favorite films, easily in my top 50. Gonna watch it again before seeing the new one.
>>211631410
The scenes of empty landscapes combined with the crappy cameras really does give it a nightmarish dreamlike quality to me, I don't know if that was intentional or not. Also the tunnel scene where they are changing the flat tire is still the most ass-clenching moment I've seen in a film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDbMqG0EObM

>>211636173
Interesting thing about that scene, as the car is speeding off you can see the zombies slow down and stop. I always wondered if that was intentional or if it was just a mistake from the extras.
If it's intentional, it shows you the zombies aren't just mindless and are aware of when they can no longer catch someone.

>>211635648
It really baffles me that Sony has never done anything more with the Bloodborne IP. It's insanely popular, fans have begged for literally anything, yet they do nothing with it. Even a remaster like they did with Demons Souls would make gajillions.

>>211636258
I imagine the Rage virus just kind gives them large bursts of adrenaline whenever they sense there is someone near by but they eventually get gassed and exhausted. Like they could remain still for hours or days until an uninfected person walks by and then suddenly they go into a burst of rage mode, kinda like we see in the church at the beginning.

>>211636742
Good slow-burn horror moobie. Would make a nice double feature with Messiah of Evil.

Is there a /hor/ list of films to watch?

>>211638480
There's a bunch of lists floating around out there. Here's an 80s horror list. I'm pretty sure an anon made a bunch of updated decade horror lists but I never remember to save em. I've got lists from the 30s-10s, and subgenre lists also.

>>211638606
Thank you!

>>211638606
What subgenres you got?

>>211636314
IIRC it's both a rights issue but also Sony not thinking it's worth the ROI. Bloodborne didn't actually sell all that well back in the day, it stagnated at 2 million for years and it was only back in 2022 when it was revealed it had sold 7.6 million and most of those sales were heavily discounted copies. Demon's Souls OG sold even less but it was easy enough for Sony execs to decide it was worth the risk to remake and resell the title because it's literally just Dark Souls with a slightly different name which has much stronger brand recognition than BB. Elden Ring was sold as being an open world Dark Souls with involvement from Gurmm which obviously worked out well for them. But it's such a shame because Lance McDonald, the modder behind the 60 FPS patch, has revealed that a native Windows 7 port of BB existed at some point likely used by From themselves when initially developing the game.

Pic related is from a presentation they did I think it was last year where they had the epiphany that maybe they should've gone harder in on capitalizing on their IPs and Bloodborne is nowhere to be seen. Instead, Until Dawn which had one successful game 10 years ago, then a VR spinoff and nothing else was their other horror franchise they decided they wanted to try to capitalize on with TLOU having capsized and only getting remasters and remakes now. I think this shows it's a rights issue more than anything else.

Kek, got me

Saw this one today. Relies a bit too much on mutilation and child abuse to feel uncomfortable rather than scary, but overall a decent flick since crazy white women are the scariest thing of all.
Also enjoyed how the crackhouse ritual VHS footage wasn't a focal point of the story, but something to expand the antagonist's origins. Directors finally realizing not every detail has to be explained and every mystery ruined.

Here's a vampire kino list

Here's the 70s, let me know if you're interested in any other decades

>>211638772
>rights issue
As far as I'm aware, Sony completely control it the IP. They could do whatever they wanted.

This is what a previous Sony exec has said:

>Speaking to Greg Miller on the Kinda Funny Gamescast for the first time since retiring from PlayStation, Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that despite calls for many PlayStation reboots, "Bloodborne has always been the most asked thing."
>He shared his own "personal theory" as to why the game hasn't seen a remake, remaster, or even an update yet.
>First confirming that because he "left first-party so has no idea what is actually going on", he says, "Miyazaki-san really, really loved Bloodborne and what he created. I think he is interested, but he's so successful, and he's so busy, he cannot do it himself, but he doesn't want anyone else to touch it. The PlayStation team respects his wish."
>Yoshida is quick to reaffirm that this is just a "guess and theory" and that he's "not revealing any secret information, to be clear."

So, assuming this is true, it seems Sony only want Miyazaki to touch it but Miyazaki is too busy on other stuff.
Other than that, it seems bizarre they invest so much in garbage like Concord and Marathon and not BB. I'd really love to be a fly on the wall in the Sony offices and know what their reasoning is.

It's mind boggling they're still going through with a S3 and shifting the perspective from Ellie to Abby the exact same mistake they made with the games and the ratings already plummeted immediately after Joel's death in the show despite a strong start

There's so much kino on this chart it's not even funny. Definitely my favorite decade of film.

>>211635514
P gud

>>211635514
I thought it was great. The Cronenberg fusion caught me off-guard in a good way because certain horror character archetypes are usually shielded with plot armor. That was not the case this time. Also, she cute

>>211635514
A lot of people bully it because
>IS THAT PURPLE? AAAAA IM GOING INSANE!!
But it's far from the worst Lovecraft adaptation. You just have to give it a bit of benefit of doubt.
Also, Cage is almost always kino.

Does The Twilight Zone count? I downloaded all 5 seasons yesterday. Never watched it before, just seen/heard some scenes on my dad's TV.

>>211639067
I find it hard to believe this is just a case of HONARABU SAMURAI SPIRIT but I guess it does sound like something Japs would do.

Sony also recently took down the PSX style "demake" from itch.io so they haven't forgotten it entirely but it could just as well be another corporation choosing to sit on an IP that they refuse to do anything with just so that no one else can potentially profit or benefit from it in any way like what happened with EA and American McGee's Alice Asylum https://b0tster.itch.io/bbpsx

But it's weid because they didn't even attempt to take down Bloodborne Kart which just had its name changed: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2930160/Nightmare_Kart/

Also, speaking of Lovecraft adaptations, will we ever get a The Mound one?
It's my favourite of his stories and you could really get creative with the mechanical body horror aspect.
I'm honestly surprised no one has touched it.

>>211640137
No, but i figure that guy is not gonna be here so i'm covering for him, kek. Although i do not find her attractive and i dislike that Rivette film i don't hate her like that anon does.

gooning to Mia Goth taking BBC

>>211625057
I like how the guy had to stop running for a bit when he was off-screen, otherwise he had easily caught up to her

>>211640536
>>211625057
she looks so ridiculous with her stubby little dwarf legs

Is Longlegs worth a watch ?

>>211640759
yeah

>>211640759
No. But Lowlifes is.

>>211640768
Thanks
>>211640773

I feel it's intentional. I remember the moment Jim freed Mailer's chains from atop the fence, Mailer sprinted into the house rather than lumber over or try to reach out to Jim. If they have no way of catching their prey, then they don't bother.

>>211640882
redpill me on Screamboat

>>211640849
But it's kino!

>>211640916
The kills really carry the movie, but they're all done comedically. My biggest problem is that the movie is just incredibly dumb. If you can shut your brain off and ignore the setup, it would be enjoyable for most.

>>211635272
There's quite a bit of hype for this outside of /hor/.

>put on "The Ugly Stepsister"
>they're speaking in some disgusting foreign eurotrash language and not English
very very disappointed

>>211640435
Thank you kindly.

>>211640536
>>211640620
Indeed that was a terrible run, they should've retake that.

>>211625925
Antrum stopping dead in its tracks to show you a barely visible picture of the devil

>>211624870
The worst thing he does is betray his soldiers at the end, everything else is harsh but understandable.

>>211639689
It's not even the worst TCOOS adaptation. Maybe the negative reviews going in...colored my perception though but honestly I didn't care for it. Cage may normally be kino but he was way too over the top here, where he wasn't being weirdly low-key.

>>211625925
The ending of Borderlands.
Being digested alive inside of some inexplicable giant monster. Genuinely felt ill afterwards.

is it worth a watch?

>>211641653
See
>>211640773

>>211639794
Don't know much about BB but maybe since it's so heavily inspired by public domain stuff Sony didn't feel like it was worth going after the kart game as long as they changed the name.

>>211641593
Agreed about Cage, he was the worst part of the movie anytime he decided to start going overboard with the wackiness.

>>211641653
yes, more so than lowlifes

>>211641847
Anything is more worth watching that lowlifes.

>>211641653
Yeah, very creepy movie didn't like the ending though

>>211641653
It's one of the very few trauma-horror movies that I actually like. So, yes, it's worth a watch.

>>211641876
yeah, even lowlife is worth more watching than lowlifes

>>211641876
>>211641847
Cucks

My top 20 2020s /hor/, not ordered.
Last spot was a tossup so I chose Totally Killer since it was a pleasant surprise, I expected it to suck and it was actually a good slasher.

>>211630565
> He ran the place. He was AAA (Access All Areas). Nobody "allowed" him to do it, he just did because he could.
I still don’t get why, knowing she’s infected, the scientists had no one else watching over her, no guards or anything. It’s just retarded.
> In fact that dumb scientist broad didn't tell anyone, which is how the virus ended up spreading to France at the end.
Why the fuck didn’t they?

>>211642516
Or never mind >>211630692

>>211642380
why no Nosferatu?

totally killer is about as mediocre and soulless as a movie can be until studio executives can actually just generate movies with AI

>>211642650
Haven't seen it. I haven't seen the Herzog remake either, only the original.
I'm not a 2020s superfan or anything so there's plenty of popular movies I haven't seen. If I watched 50 more movies then the list would probably have a few changes.

Is 1.66:1 the most kino of aspect ratios, especially for newer movies?

>>211641653
It's pretty good despite the main character being unlikable. Very well made overall.

>>211641653
I'd say yes.

>>211639729
Yes, Rod Serling is an honorary saint

>>211640882
Borderline got the era down pat

>>211640882
Glad someone else liked Borderline. It wasn't amazing or anything but it was fun. I'll watch anything Samara Weaving is in and the French girl was also cute(I like insane women)

>>211643275
Nta but killing off Frenchie before she became too much was a good choice because it makes it easier to keep loving her

>>211640882
>>211643233
>>211643275
>Borderline
This looks fun
>insane woman
Seems like this might be a twist from a glance at the wikipedia, but idc because I'm sold. Adding it to my watchlist.

>>211643391
It is, I went in blind and was really impressed by how 90s it was, felt like something I might have watched back then

>>211638850
Walked out of the theater the other day about 40 mins into this. I don’t think I’ll ever check back in with these guys. They’re now blacklisted with Mike Flanagan & Ti West.

>>211643553
>Ti West
>blacklisted
The Sacrament is great

>>211643553
>>211643614
>Ti West
That reminds me, now that you know who is on vacation and this is safe to discuss, is X actually worth watching? I'm interested in Pearl.

>>211643275
She was super cute. Chris Evans is lucky.

>>211643793
Pearl is the best from the trilogy. It's also chronologically first, so you can watch it without X. I liked X, but it's nothing great or special. Maybe a 6/10. Ignore the ideologues, they're mentally ill.

>>211643862
Seems really annoying

>>211644030
You should watch the movie before passing judgment.

>>211639157
Cucked recommendation

>>211644086
No

>>211643945
Thank you anon.

>>211642380
>Malignant
An extremely funny so-bad-it's-good movie.
>In a Violent Nature
One good kill scene.
>Smile 2
Worse than the original, it's egregious, senseless, and needlessly nihilistic.
>Barbarian
The first half was better than the second. It started off as a real horror movie and then made a turn to a horror-comedy direction that didn't work.

>>211640278
Gotcha, glad to hear. That guy is annoying lol sometimes I wonder if we're the only two people from /film/ also posting here.

>>211641876
Based

>>211643793
I liked X the most but i'm a 70s shill
You can definitely watch Pearl first or alone like >>211643945 said, but I like X more, and I think Maxxxine was more disappointing because of the strengths of X. Maxxxine is the strongest soundtrack though, so if you're into that it's worth a watch but i think otherwise it's just for completionists

>>211643793
I liked Pearl the best. Maxxxine was a fucking mess.

>>211644221
I thought they were fun.

it's really surprisng how leftist is the whole horror in general and it's fanbase, I genuinely can'y think of any right wing coded horror

>>211644477
Oh and if you do watch x and pearl you should probably do X first
>>211644559
They really fumbled Maxxxine because they had a great set up for it

>>211642380
>>211642746
Brandon Cronenberg's Possessor is kino but your mileage may vary with Infinity Pool it's a love it or hate it type of movie
Would also recommend The Empty Man and Black Phone and Speak No Evil (Danish version if you can find it) and Exhuma
The Pope's Exorcist is also great dumb fun as long as you go in with the right mindset and understanding that it's not going to be a hardcore experience

>>211644477
>>211644559
>>211644644
Thank you anons, I love slashers and psycho girls so hopefully I will enjoy them.
Most people seemed disappointed in Maxxxine but I have seen fans of it, if I like the other two I'll watch it.

>>211644666
>Possessor
Really enjoyed.
>Infinity Pool
Really enjoyed as well, maybe this should have been the 20th spot desu.
>The Empty Man
Haven't seen yet.
>The Black Phone
Enjoyed.
>Speak No Evil
Haven't seen yet.
>Exhuma
Haven't seen yet.
>The Pope's Exorcist
Enjoyed.
I've still got some good shit to watch in the future.

>>211644666
Checked
Empty Man and Black Phone were both really good. Empty Man specifically has one of the spoopiest scenes I've seen in a horror movie in a long time

>>211644716
I'd have liked Maxxxine more if I didn't have hopes for it. It's not a bad movie, it's just it's following two that built hopes it could be insanely strong and it's not, it's just good

>>211644906
>I'd have liked Maxxxine more if I didn't have hopes for it.
Noted for when I watch it.
I try to go in with low expectations anyway.

>>211644626
most horror is apolitical, it's just about evil and that exists everywhere

>>211644357
There's at least a third guy i think.

Gonna watch Legacy of Satan and make some chicken
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p2J2ey-Ss4

>>211641653
it's pretty good except for a meh ending

Apparently Stream 2 is happening.
I'll watch it.

she groomed a 12 year old boy

>>211647553
People don't actually care about lonely retards getting tricked by women.

>>211647115
Stream sucked, but I'll check out 2 because I do hope all movies are good.

>>211647553
I think this is the kind of movie I would have really enjoyed if I watched it when I was 12

>>211647953
it justifies its existence with Samara Weaving tongue kissing Bella Thorne

>>211633856
Nope in terms of scary horror movies it's my no 1.

>>211641364
Based, I love Antrum.

>>211642380
Not a bad list, I agree with like half of them.
where is Mad God though. Mad God #1. I am mad for Mad God!

>>211625925
this scene in the ancient moomin anime is scarier than like 90% of horror movies I've seen

>>211649288
>where is Mad God though. Mad God #1. I am mad for Mad God!
Oh yeah, I definitely need to watch that one. It looks super cool.

>>211647115
Wasn’t Tim Curry in this? How’s he holding up?

>>211649572
Most people tend to think it's good on a first watch, but on a rewatch where I was less focused on the plot I thought it was amazing. There's so much in every scene.

>>211625925
Kayako's soiface and death rattle were scary as fuck when I was a kid.
Now I find her kinda hot.

>>211649701
Tim's been in a wheelchair for ages unfortunately.

Forgot to mention picrel also showed up in pure MILF mode.

>>211649701
It's a cameo at the end and he's wearing one of the killer masks, maybe they thought he looked too sickly to show his face.
Also as >>211649857 said he's in a wheelchair.
Still cool though.

>>211650017
>small cameo in terrifier 2
>barely bigger cameo in stream
They need to stop underusing her. Bring her character back for Terrifier 4.

>>211649857
I thought he had died already a couple of years ago, wrf, i remember reading about his death.

>>211650200
As long as she isn't brutally tortured and gutted by Art.

>>211650259
You probably read about his near-death from a stroke… it's heartbreaking.

i really hate Jenna Ortega

Still hoping for a Scare Package 3

I'm Jenna Ortega neutral

>>211635272
>>211641203
/tv/ read the leaked script and decided they hate it and Barbarian already doesn't get much love from here anyway

I personally don't know much about the whole leaked scripts thing for the same reason I don't watch trailers but isn't there a chance that what was leaked might've been a first draft or that some of it was changed in the final release and that it could've been a slightly older version?

>>211651329
Barbarian is liked here it's just npm who hates it

Decided upon the subgenre/theme list that I want to do for October. Last year I barely watched anything so I want to make this one special and actually watch a ton of shit.
I'll watch them in an order close to this.
>70s/80s/90s Slasher
>Universal Monsters
>Zombie
>Giallo
>Witch
>Fairy Tale horror
>50s sci-fi horror
>Horror anthology
>More recent sci-fi horror
>Christmas horror
>Stephen King
>Killer kid
>Found footage
>2010s """elevated horror"""
>Modern slasher
>Body horror
>Psychological horror
>Thriller (not exactly horror)
>HP Lovecraft
>Vampire
>Frankenstein
>Werewolf
>70s/80s/90s creature
>Mummy
>Killer animal
>Haunted House
>A 2025 release
>90s/early 2000s teen horror
>Vincent Price
>Halloweeny horror movie
>Halloweeny non-horror movie
>Animated Halloween special
>One of my favorite movies

>>211651318
I'm still getting over the new producers of Scream forcing her to learn about 4chan's horror fans in an unflattering light

It's kino.

>>211651494
Damn that's a lot of stuff to cover. I'll try to watch more this year too, seeing how i won't have school anymore and will probably still be unemployed.

BREAKING: FELISSA ROSE JOINS CAST OF KEVIN WILLIAMSON'S SCREAM 7 (2026)

has anyone here watched this?

>>211651854
If I watch 1 movie a day I'll only need to double up twice, and one of them will be with a short animated special. It won't be difficult if I'm not a lazy bastard again this year.
I'll also give myself the last few days of September and the first few days of November for the challenge if I need them.

Americans can't watch 28 years until friday?

>>211651992
I wish.

>>211652201
Tomorrow.

>>211652290
Jodie Coomer

I'm actually surprised.

>>211652336
with that score it must be about toxic masculinity or something

>>211652322
I always refer to her as Coomer kek

>>211652001
Yes. Good little basic supernatural thriller.

Erik and Bobby were the soul of Bloodlines
Great chemistry between them

>>211652413
Based

>>211652336
Someone described some schizo montages being used here and there. I love it when Danny goes wild mode and does crazy stuff like that.

>>211652336
I'll just assume that's still because tons of those critics were invited to the movie premiere and they're still high on the excitement of that event. At this point I just hope that the lows just aren't as low as 28 Weeks.

>>211652201
I'm a leaf, but I'm going to assume that like America you can't watch it until Thursday afternoon.

>>211652001
This is another one of those prestige horror films from the 90s and early 2000s that were marketed as a thriller in an attempt to gain more recognition by critics and awards shows but it's definitely a horror film too. Michelle Pfeiffer really regretted turning down the role of Clarice Starling because she didn't like that evil won in that movie which is why you can also find her in Wolf along with Jack Nicholson from the same era.

>>211652242
Don't give up hope just yet.

>>211652462
I will always maintain that Coomer would've been the best casting for Suzy in that shitty Suspiria remake. 28 Years will likely be one of the best horrors of 2025 so it makes sense she stars in it.

>>211625057
KEK I love the mensprinting, made a quick edit of it using a shadow
The guy is forced to make a wide as fuck turn just to keep a bit of space because femoids can't even sprint to save their lives

>>211652943
the strongest sex

>>211624517 (OP)
Now, that's a coincidence, I've watched the first one two days ago and I'll this one today. 28 years should be monday.

i expected a mediocre bmovie but its the US counterpart to gojira, quite literally and i like it more. gojira peters out towards the third act, gets slightly boring but THEM! stays on track with great pacing. good double feature for next time! also, monster movies are perfect summer horror films. i cant pinpoint why.

>>211652921
Shame about that Alone in the Dark game she starred in honestly. It's just such a cursed franchise despite the fact that without it Resident Evil wouldn't even exist

>>211653370
Have you seen Zaat? B movie aquatic monster nazi scientist seeks to create human fish bride set in Florida swamp
I think it's the lack of braincells on hot nights

>>211653615
i love zaat. that one sucks though, but in a good way. and yeah, i guess youre right. it was really hot here today so it helped being light entertainment, but not bad at all, as mentioned before.

>>211653881
mst3k roasted this one

>>211653881
I love low budget movies where it's clear they tried and I will believe the machine made out of cardboard and christmas tree lights so long as they do

>>211654184
Many such cases!

>>211654184
rightly so!
>>211654239
genuine effort goes a long way for me as well. gives it a certain charme. sovl as the newage zoomerslang would put it.

>>211644626
Right wingers don't need horror movies because they live a life permanently afraid of the change happening around them

>>211625925
I liked the "something's really fucking off but you don't really know why/how" vibe in Kill List. I wish more movies would do that.

>>211653881
I think this is the only "classic" faux-gillman movie I haven't seen, not counting zoning out in the middle of The Slime People.
The other one I thought I'd missed was Manfish, which turns out to be a generic treasure hunting movie with a bait and switch cover image. No monster content.

>>211625925
The tapes scene of Sinister unnerved me a lot as a teen. Specially the music in the BBQ tape.

>>211641364
seconded

>>211642380
I'm sorry friend but your list is reddit as fuck

>>211644626
oh yeah, you must be blind then, missing out on the redneck horror subgenre namely TCM on the forefront

>>211654831
eat my ass

>>211652336
This could be a kino year for the genre.

>>211654877
oh yeah, you must be retarded then, missing the point of TCM which shows rednecks (rightoids) as violent and racists subhumans

>>211655082
very 'left leaning' and 'liberal' of you to generalize all of the state based on some psychopaths lol. hypocrite idiot.

>>211624571
The film was super contrived in the middle.
>Call an alarm after finding dead bodies.
>Oh we have a virus that can spread within 10-20 seconds of infection, I know, why not push 100s of people into the same unsecure parking garage.
If you simply locked people down were they were, they would easily keep control of the situation.

I watched both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later at the cinema for the rerelease. 28 Days Later looked fucking AWFUL. I know they have a 4k release later this year but it is well known they used early digital cameras and the rerelease was blurry and messy, especially the kino shots of empty London.

>>211626903
28 Days Later rerelease had a tease scene for 28 Years Later. In it the two characters who went to the mainland see a herd of deer (bad CGI deer) but then go into a house and find a man strung up who is infected and he pressures the boy into killing the man. Aside from the deer, it was an alright scene.

>>211654831
I wouldn't know lol, but most of them were recs from you guys so if you think I'm not watching the right movies then it's your fault.

>>211625925
The scene in Henry where the guy pulls over to help them with their car and Otis shoots him to death is scary.
Also the scene in The Town That Dreaded Sundown where the Phantom creeps up behind a guy relaxing and shoots him through the window of his house.

>>211625925
>jumpscared by a monster that would never exist in reality
Those are always the kind monsters eat first. Easy pickings

>>211644626
Some slashers are actually extremely pro-gun. >Halloween 2018: Laurie Strode was treated like a nut by her own liberal daughter and granddaughter for being a gun fanatic with a house full of weapons until she was vindicated by Michael's belated return and the guns suddenly came in handy.
>Cult of Chucky: starts out with Andy being berated by his date for being pro-gun and admitting he keeps guns in his home and we see why he's totally justified in the post-credits scene of Curse.

>>211644626
>>211656259
Slashers are inherently right wing because they're about the fear of rampant violent crime.
Vampire movies are also at least partly right wing since vampires were inspired by jews.

Fucking hell Bloodlines was great. This could be the last film in the franchise and I would be happy, I have no clue how they can remotely top this outside of improving the quality of the CG.
