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

gonna try berberian soundsystem tonight i think

Hey y'all, since I don't watch much recent horror, can anyone ID a movie from 2-3 years ago that had a preview with a group of people in a diner, where an elderly woman transforms into some sort of alien? Movie got poor reviews as I recall, but I'd like to refind that trailer on youtube.

"Priest" I think?

i remember something like that but it was a demon, not an alien (bc the movie was about angels or something)
xpost

legion?

I think Legion is the movie you're looking for

sorry, "Legion"

legion was the one i was thinking of at least

Yeah, Legion is it, thanks. That granny scene, pretty innocuous by the standards of a lot of stuff in this thread, totally creeped me out.

I totally was thinking of "Legion" when I wrote "Priest", somehow I've managed to meld these two movies I've never seen into the same film

i havent seen legion but according to multiple trustworthy reports that movie is exhibit #1 for "everything good is shown in the trailer."

I swear to god, netflix times their streaming schedule by waiting until i send back a dvd. abcs of death is now up on streaming. watch it so i can start a poll on which one is the best

cmon dudes, its streaming! im going to start the poll anyway, even if im the only one who votes in it.

Watched up to T and will finish over the weekend. Nothing has really grabbed me so far - apart from O, which is excellent.

berberian sound system is fucking awesome but really isn't a horror film

Berberian Sound System pisses all over the overrated Sightseers, which is predictable and is no better than what an average film student could produce. I love b-movie stuff with good actors,

you keep getting that backwards, DSP.

ILX's collective hard-on for Amer is becoming a source of endless amusement.

I thought Amer was pretty dull iirc. Don't remember much b/c nothing happened.

Wheatley's new movie A Field in England is already available on the t0rrentz for those that are inclined that way. It looks a lot better than Sightseers.

It was on Channel 4 last night. I really enjoyed it, but it's not a horror film in any way, shape or form. Wants to be Jodorwsky more than anything else.

I didn't realise it wasn't a cinema release, only just read Bradshaw's review yesterday.

So, Calvin Reeder's THE RAMBLER... that was, uh, Calvin Reeder's THE RAMBLER.

it is a cinema release, it was released to theaters, disc, VOD, etc, simultaneously. some kind of experimental distribution strategy I guess.

For a few minutes I thought "The Conjuring" was going to be a self-aware horror movie. Pretty soon I realized it was just every single ghost/haunted house/possession movie ever made, all at once, including Wan's last film "Insidious." This was better than that, amassing a few good brute force scares, but it unfortunately falls prey to many of the same things that have hampered, well, just about every single ghost/haunted house/possession ever made.

I wonder if Lili Taylor remembers she starred in 1999's "The Haunting?"

About to watch "Mama", lets see how this goes

It goes on for quite a bit, actually.

I kind of hated The Conjuring and I have no idea why anyone finds it scary/compelling.

I liked The Conjuring just enough. No masterpiece, but easily improves on Insidious.

Really, when it starts with killer demonic doll, I figured it would ridiculous on purpose, but no, it's just next stop, sillyville station.

The Insidious train just sat still next to the not-scary-in-the-slightest platform.

Mama is 90% pretty fucking fantastic, but unfortunately that last 10% is another terrible shitshow of an ending. Fuckers.

Lemme be fair here though, it's a killer first full length and I have to give this dude a ton of credit for that.

Also holy shit, I had no idea that was Jessica Chastain until the closing credits

I can't say enough nice things about The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh. a "ghost" story with one set, and basically one actor, but beautiful, original, chilling, and deeply moving. I think it hits VOD this week or next.

Found - not a FF horror, thank goodness - was at least halfway to greatness. meaning, it was great for at least half its runtime - but went terribly awry from there.

sinister - shit yeah

1) saw the conjuring last night and there is not enough time in the world for me to list the plot holes and gripes i have with this movie
2) still, i screamed 2x
3) how does a movie this weak (a "witch" from the salem witch trials"? really?) get vera farmiga and lili taylor?!

Farmiga's done a ton of schlock. Taylor probably needed the work

I keep asking the same thing every time I see Julianne Moore et al. in the "Carrie" trailer (which is basically just the entire movie in two minutes; there aren't enough plot twists they can throw in to justify showing the pig's blood dump in the promo).

anyone here seen francis ford coppola's twixt? looks like some kind of ghost story (?), gots elle fanning and val kilmer.

lili taylor was in hemlock grove so

And she was in "The Haunting," so

i haven't watched hemlock grove -- my lili taylor memories are mostly of her playing cool/weird people, not chirpy/possessed mothers of 5 married to office space guy.

anyway you all know this movie sucks, stop pretending

is that scooby doo?

Pretty sure the past several posts including mine have been degrees of "The Conjuring sucks."

oh i thought you were trying to tell me i was wrong to expect lili taylor to be good
whatever! this movie suuuuuucks.

Photo is from "The Haunting" remake, which was awful EXCEPT for the casting of Taylor.

omg she plays the nervous woman? does she fall in love with CZJ?
now i remember that. super weird casting!

Owen Wilson played "Luke" in the film
