>>214421762 (OP)
Swallow (2019)

>>214421762 (OP)
In alternate Version of the Blair witch where josh Is more of an asshole released recently. Lots and lots of new footage It's pretty cool

Hereditary
Occult
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The Exorcist

TCM and it's not even close
No other horror movie and possibly no other film period has come close to how good it is

Kairo. Nothing else has its feeling of creepiness and deep melancholy.

>>214421762 (OP)
TCM (original)
Wicker Man (original)
The Haunting (robert wise)
Evil Dead trilogy

I enjoyed Noroi.

>the crew was literally too incompetent to catch the crewman playing the witch on camera
>they pretended that was their plan all along
>pseuds immediately started defending this shit flaw on the grounds that 'you should use your imagination' and do so to this day
it's a good movie but it's unfinished. A horror movie without monsters is just a suspense thriller.

>>214421779
Come (2019)

>>214421762 (OP)
paranormal activity (2007)
the blair witch project
the conjuring 1

yes I’m a tourist

>>214421901
I can see why they cut it out.

>>214421762 (OP)
You got it.

>>214421901
Holy shit there is a new version!?

rosemary's baby
ur all plebs

Nothing tops the original Dawn Of The Dead for me. The score, the characters, how it just throws you midway into the zombie infestation at its peak, plus pure 70s kino vibes. Romero's best.

An obscure horror film released in 2010s that holds an IMDB rating of 6,5-6,8

The first 2/3 of Sinister

>>214421762 (OP)
you posted it, friendo

the one where the dumb blonde gets stabbed by the bad man

>>214421762 (OP)
Was this dude /tv/'s favorite character of the trio?

Losing the map was a dick move and he complained a lot. But once one of them went missing, he went Alpha Mode and charged into a haunted house to save some dude he just met 2 days ago.

That's America strong, baby! Fuck witches! We comin' for you! Can't wait for the sequel where we get revenge.

>>214421762 (OP)
Probably Aliens, I guess. I liked Jacob's Ladder too. Blair Witch is up there too. I've been watching a bunch of the popular horror movies lately and having trouble finding anything actually scary.

>>214425370
>the sequel where we get revenge
he doesn't know

>>214421901
>>214423275
Does he mean the Second Sight version? I'm looking it up right now and that seems to be the only "official" other release.

>>214425397
That's why Paranormal Activity faded into obscurity and Conjuring just broke the record for an R rated horror film.
>protagonist wins in the end
Seems like a simple formula. But most horror films leave that part out. Thanks Obama!

Antichrist

>>214422396
Guess I prefer suspense thrillers by far then. Because if there's a monster or ghost it gets either comical, animal-scary or sad on rewaches and the horror aspect is lost to me.

>>214421901
I usually watch The Blair Witch Project every October and I'm interested in seeing this

>>214426007
How do u feel about the Sixth Sense?

>>214425961
the scene where Willem DaFoe ejaculates blood make me stop masturbating for like two months.

>>214426029
I prefer the 7th Sense... "the smell of crime"
starring Dolph Lundgren

>>214421762 (OP)
Immigration Crisis

People are gonna think I'm gay but this was the scariest part of the movie. Mike laughing about throwing the map in the river as they all yell at him. Pure hopelessness.

>>214426116
The remastered version looks clean, she was such a cutie

>>214426029
I love it but it's far from horror for me.

>>214426128
ay who dis, she cute

>>214426049
I don't even remember but that was maybe the intention. The entire end got way out of hand. Love to woods parts though.

>>214426166
Girl from Blair witch

>>214426142
Paranormal films aren't "horror"?

Anybody please confirm?

>>214426128
>>214426236
I was 8 when this came out and it broke my heart that it wasn't real.

>>214426241
I expect 'horror' to downright scare me so that I feel at unease days or even weeks after. If it's just interesting with a paranormal twist it's more like a paranormal thriller. Jumpscare and splatter are gruesome entertainment.

>>214426488
So you think SAW films and the Purge are the pinnacle of horror films?

Brother, when I die, I'm gonna haunt your ass. You'll see what true horror is!

>>214426236
Shame about the hair loss

>>214426532
>So you think SAW films and the Purge are the pinnacle of horror films?
No, those are popcorn level entertainment for people that like nasty things. I just tried to explain that.

For all the Blair Witch Project fans, this videogame is a must. At least the first volume. Ignore the intro tutorial. It starts at 15:00.

For THE SCENE (2:40:50):

I wish someone turned this into a mini series. There's so much potential, even if it's just cliches.

>>214426740
she's too cute, bros...

>>214428299
I love when a video game expands on "lore" of the movie. The Thing video game did this

>>214428414
i can fix her... i promise

>>214428299
The scariest thing for me about Blair Witch when I was a little kid was when I snuck on to the web site for the original movie. I am not going to say it was well done - I was like 11 - but it did in fact scare the shit out of me, and I believed it at the time for whatever reason.

>>214428461
>and I believed it at the time for whatever reason.
Me and my buddy went to see American Pie and it was sold out, so we bought tix for Blair Witch not knowing anything a out it.

I pissed my pants irl.

I never saw The Blair Witch on release because I never watched anything that was hype. Saw it 10 years later alone in the dark and it scared the shit out of me. My favorite horror is As Above So Below, I just can keep watching that film.

>>214428390
I'm not usually one who like "lore" or reads up upon that, but the Blair Witch related stuff always fascinated me. For me it's the perfect horror setting. It has got everything.

That videogame did a great job. Honestly, I am almost angry that it got "wasted" on it, i.e. no one played it or knows about it. The managed to incorporate everything mentioned in the film and the faux documentary.

>>214428461
My first experience was in 2003. I wasn't even that youn, I was 14. I have only heard about it, but living in a 3rd world country it was impossible for me to watch it. Until that one october when it aired on TV. I taped it with my VCR and watched it in the afternoon. It was bright daylight. Once the credits rolled I was sat there for 15 minutes, I could barely move. I was so compelled by it, I didn't even know what to think. I have never seen a horror film like that and I wasn't just scared shitless, I was also obsessed with it.

Never relax around maps

>>214426007
Don't listen to this idiot >>214422396 please. Saying a horror movie always requires a monster is on the same level as pretending all horror needs to be supernatural when this hasn't been the case for decades now. It's a suspense movie, but if the primary purpose of the suspense is to create a sense of unease in the viewer and building up to a few frights which you have to be a complete dumbass not to notice is what TBWP tries to do then that makes it a horror movie, not a thriller. It's not that difficult to understand even if there's a lot of overlap.

And they were never going to show the witch regardless due to budgetary constraints so it wasn't "unfinished" just because your expectations weren't met which you only have yourself to blame for. Next time do your research and learn the difference between psychological horror and supernatural horror while you're at it.

>the Blair Witch related stuff always fascinated me
You really need to read or listen to the short story "Sticks" by Karl Edward Wagner. It's in his famous anthology "In a Lonely Place" that was hard to get for decades until it was republished in 2021. Sticks inspired The Blair Witch project. The whole tone is masterful horror writing

>>214430113
There's honestly a lot of really good horror literature out there that's never been properly adapted to film before. Apparently there's finally going to be an adaptation of Robert McCammon's Swan Song which many including myself consider to be superior to Stephen King's The Stand

the devil rides out

>>214429551
Picnic at Hanging Rock and 2001 counted as 'horror' for me as a kid.

>>214422103
gook meme movie. i cant be afraid of some gook chink ghost lmao

>>214424658
Based.

>>214430536
There's definitely some serious existential horror going on in 2001 I could totally see it as one personally. I mean just ask yourself which movie has the most 2001 DNA in it between Alien and Star Wars despite both taking a lot of inspiration from it and the answer is clear.

>>214428299
When I watched the Blair Witch movie many years ago, I had difficulty sleeping for days.

The Thing

>>214430355
Yep. In A Lonely Place also has a story called More Sinned Against. It's a shift in style, telling a modern day Hollywood Babylon/Life in the Fast Lane story, that involves porn, drugs, and Voodoo. The ending was amazing. I could totally picture it being adapted. We could use more modern Voodoo stories.

>>214421762 (OP)
Probably Hereditary.
Watching it for the first time it seemed like it was going to be some gay "mental illness is the real evil" drama but the last 30 minutes or so put that to bed.
It benefits from repeat viewing because when you know what's actually going on you spot more little signs along the way.

>>214422588
I watched this movie when I was really young and it freaked me the fuck out and I've never watched it since. I dunno what the fuck was going on but it had seriously hellish vibes.
Like an awful nightmare.

Does Shin Godzilla count I'm going to say yes it does

>>214421762 (OP)
Ravenous

>>214421762 (OP)
what are some other paranormal woods movies?

>>214434005
Decent suggestion. That's how I get around fresh ass pussy. Like a dog drinking water.

Yes its a horror film

>>214433824
Sounds intriguing I'll have to check it out sometime anon. It saddens me greatly that most people only seem to know Stephen King's name when it comes to horror literature when there are far better writers than him within the genre who go unnoticed because Hollywood didn't favor them the same way.

either American Psycho, Army Of Darkness, or House
which is to say I hate horror movies and only tolerate the horror aesthetic when it's draped over something different entirely (dark comedy, comedic action, and live-action cartoon, respectively)

>>214421762 (OP)
Malum or pic related

>>214421762 (OP)
The Thing (1982) is still easily the best horror movie.

>>214433956
I'd be interested in a more explicitly horror based Godzilla. I remember some people toying with a design where he looks more like the mushroom cloud, which tows the line real hard between terrifying and goofy to me.

>>214421762 (OP)
Why did he kick the map?

>>214434992
Reminder: the director of the original Godzilla said the movie is not an allegory for MUH BOMBS. They just used them as a reason for a giant lizard monster to exist.
