ok lets all shit our pants to something new: post 2005 horror film thread

two from netflix instant watch: High Road which attempts to make the descent but set in mountain climbing and FAILS and Shadow which apart from a kinda awful ending was pretty good imo.

oh hey in case you wondering about the state of the icelandic horror industry i just watched "Harpoon: Whale Watching Massacre" and wow its even worse than the title sounds

please tell me this movie was about a whale watching a dude with a harpoon kill shittons of people

in that case it would be a finnish movie though

Was wondering about a Ghost House film that's on instawatch-- Dark Floors, the one featuring the Finnish false metal band Lordi playing their stage personas.

haha yeah i keep looking at that one and then saying naaaah

curse you! We need a guinea pig.

man if i havent already earned my hazardous duty pay on this thread i just dont know what to tell you

Yeah, how else would I know to avoid Harpoon!!

by looking at the title...?

Session 9, y/n?

i love session 9, huge huge fan

yeah session 9 is good.

Sweet, it's on for tonite then.

Dark Floors, the one featuring the Finnish false metal band Lordi playing their stage personas.

oh god I've been dying to see this

So Session 9 was awesome (and I guess actually too old for this thread's brief?) but I started slipping in and out of consciousness during the hectic climax so I'ma watch the last 40 minutes again.

april fools.....?

no, totally real. and boring.

i expected more from Mr. Oizo.

(it's available on iTunes, BTW)

thought the end of Session 9 was a little cheap, but the journey was totally worth it -- in terms of atmosphere, tone & the utilization of space, it is totally creepy & VERY effective.

I was excited for Rubber based on the trailer, but I read a review that said the dialogue was all winks to the camera and ugh

Insidious has been getting pretty good reviews.

I should have known better, but "Scream 4" was so terrible that after struggling with my instincts I finally walked out 10 minutes before the end. I just couldn't take it anymore.

Has there been anything good out this year? I think the only 2011 horror film i've seen was The Rite, which is pretty torpid on the whole.

Attack The Block looks potentially interesting though.

I still haven't seen we are what we are

lucky mckee's the woman still without a release date

stake land looks interesting maybe?

Before the shitty Scream there was a trailer for Apollo 18, which looks like a cross between Alien and Blair Witch. Lots of dubious behind the scenes stuff does not inspire faith in the project.

Has anyone seen Prowl? It's not getting a cinema release here (although I think it may have been shown at Frightfest) but I enjoyed Manhunt by the same director so I'm tempted to give the DVD a go.

Black Death looks good.

i really liked Insidious. in fact, i'd go see it again.

my favorite thread, kept me alive last fall when i went on a binge and watched 30 or 40 semi-current horror movies in the space of a few months. since then, not much. collapsing into fuddity with william castle, old AIP, amicus, hammer, etc. need new recommendations. is taxidermia a horror movie?

ok this is 2004 so not officially right for this thread but have ppl seen Dead Man's Shoes ?

Yup. Shane Meadows' best film, imo. Paddy C is amazing in it.

So I finally watched The Devil's Rejects and was sort of let down. I mean it was good but I didn't think it was exceptional. The final scene was pretty epic tho.

New film released this week simultaneously in cinemas and as a free torrent. Anyone seen it? The torrent's taking ages.

It was pretty bad

that trailer didn't look too promising, thanks for taking one for the team

np

Black death was ok, enjoyed insidious more.
Old spooky lady ghost things always work, right?

saw a couple of these last week

splice was a really hard one to wrap my head around, its really a profoundly fucked up movie but you get the feeling that they reined in the full psycho a bit (which is a shame) - still the fact that some of the stuff in this happens despite being a pretty major release is pretty crazy. i would get into it but man its spoilers ahoy, ill just say that it sure felt a lot more like some creepout indie/foreign gutpuncher than multiplex fare. even so, still not entirely sure i liked it overall.

the final destination was the best argument against 3d in movies ive ever seen. also it was a godawful pile of shit in general. way tamer and cuddly than the first 2 in the series, which i like.

also watched "the ugly" but thats from the late 90s so

ha to be clear, im saying that i like the first 2 final destinations, not that i like the tame and cuddly turn. yall probably guessed that i suppose tho

ok this is 2004 so not officially right for this thread but have ppl seen Dead Man's Shoes ?

^^ this is worth reposting... super creepy

lol @ "way tamer and cuddlier" being a complaint about a movie that features someone's internal organs getting sucked out by a pool filter

original romcom title was disemboweling you always

although reading the description of #2, you might have a point

I love you guys. Just watched Triangle, easily the most fun I've had with a film in ages. Just brilliant. Watched Black Death last night (also for recommendations made here), great in an entirely different way. This director is one to watch.

Rogue. Quite good in so many simple ways but thwarted mainly by its crepey obsession with America. Could have been excellent.

Two must-see titles that are best approached with as little foreknowlege as possible: Simon Rumley's RED, WHITE & BLUE and Eli Craig's TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL.

ok fantastic! i kept almost watching red white and blue but then going eh who knows, its on netflix streaming so thats a no brainer. thx dude

thanks HJ, will keep a look out

think you're maybe mentioned tucker & dale before (?), or someone has, but i forgot about it...
