The Witch was great, Black Philip for global emperor unless he already is acting emperor and in that case FOUR MORE YEARS!

Thank you! I don't know what people's problem is with that movie.

Their problem is they are pure jobbies who'd prefer shite like Insidious and The Conjuring.

Just finished watching The VVitch myself (streaming for free on Amazon Prime). Highly recommended.

Just watched The Witch. New classic. Not a false move in it.

Babak Anvari's debut Under The Shadow sounds quite ace. It is a supernatural horror movie set against the backdrop of the Iran/Iraq war, it is getting rave reviews so far.

The Blackcoat's Daughter, which is definitely one of the better things I have seen recently, is on UK Netflix under the original title of February as of yesterday.

Starry Eyes did a whole, whole lotta things right, and Alexandra Essoe was great, but it ultimately fell into the distressing pattern I've noticed way too many times over the past decade of almost-great horror films that just don't know how to stick the landing. In that respect, the movie reminded me a great deal of The House of the Devil. But I think I still recommend it?

february is a remarkable first feature for oz perkins - eager to see the upcoming i am the pretty thing that lives in the house. altough nothing quite matches the invitation imho, it's been a very decent year for these sort of slow build/paranoid/tense creepers, with stuff like the whitch, observance and even the polanski rehash of darling all worthy of mention.
or the yuppie horror stylings of the ones below - pacific heights meets hand that rocks the cradle? - aiming for that grey area. the gift was better on that front tho. and a part of me expected knock knock to go down that path.

Just saw ALL HALLOWS' EVE and liked it. Really reminded me of CREEPSHOW in tone, how it could be ridiculous and scary all at once. Appreciated its abandonment of logic in favor of terror.

i'd also like to rep for they're watching which is the silliest found footage horror i've ever seen, last twenty minutes are sooooooooooooo awesome, but ymmv re: found footage directed and written by former spongebob writers
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 14 October 2016 18:31 (seven years ago) link
uh... i meant the invitation, i am very tired
to be fair the scenes in the adjoining hotel rooms are pretty horror

excited everybody is repping the invitation since iirc it is on NF streaming and I've had little luck finding more horror to watch in their portfolio

so I saw The Greasy Strangler the other day, which was touted as this John Waters-ish gross-out horror comedy.
it was really more like John Waters by way of Napoleon Dynamite, and the 'horror' was not even remotely presented as 'horror', and I was p bored with 20 minutes left to go, despite most of it being hilarious.
there were only so many non-sequiturs I could stomach.

Anyone know anything about "Train to Busan?" Korean zombie thriller? Have we talked about it? Been hearing good things.

need more zombie flicks like Return of the Living Dead these days, not these dire things

So many zombie movies. I don't investigate any of them and just trust that one of you guys will tell me if there are standouts

The Wailing is really good - not really a zombie movie - it reminds me more of Salem's Lot tbh.
― calzino, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 22:47 (seven years ago) link
Greasy Strangler was really impressive to me in being super funny and super disgusting in equal measure, but yeah, it's can only barely be counted as horror.

OK, I'll give it more time if someone will vouch for it, but I started "Train to Busan" and it sucks like "World War Z." Equal parts boring and stupid, and badly acted.

Never been interested in seeing anything by Gore Verbinski but A Cure For Wellness looks like it could be genuinely distinctive. Looks like slightly eerie science fiction or something.

Whoa. The Ouija prequel was actually really good. Was not even remotely like the over the top, boilerplate trailer.
― Neanderthal, Friday, 21 October 2016 03:52 (seven years ago) link
trailer makes it look like your typical jump-scare possession tale that is overly reliant on computer effects and jarring visuals, but this is more of an atmospheric horror flick with self-contained dramatic moments. not overstuffed with high-decibel setpieces like the Conjuring flicks (of which I really only liked the 2nd one).
thinking ILX might eyeroll a little at the aesthetic choices, ie the retro feel which felt somewhat like an Outer Limits episode, w/ the use of the fades to black after each scene, and the old-fashioned score. and that's fair. but the trailer looked like the worst crap imaginable and I only went to see it cos I liked Mike Flanagan's "Hush" and this got early favorable press and it turned out to be an enjoyable night out so....hey, I'll take it.
