The Horror Thread 2U • Page 556

In 2009 my roommates and I ditched cable to save money, between the four of us we had SO many DVDs (shout out to that old Blockbuster bargain bin) so we exclusively watched movies/played video games for a while. One day I was stoned at home alone and randomly picked Kids lol, having never heard of it and having no synopsis to read since it was a Blockbuster box. Did not realize I was stepping on a landmine. Went down as one of my darkest days man

 

KIDS will make you filthy after you watch. The fact that the movie begins and ends with r*pe scenes is crazy in and of itself, but the implications of it are just as horrific.

 

Kids is fucked. Very good, but absolutely fucked.

 

Is anyone looking forward to Thanksgiving? Don't think I've seen it brought up in here yet

 

I'm super excited about it

 

Hoping for an over-the-top good time

 

I'm always down for more Eli Roth, for better or worse. Love that he's following through on the Grindhouse trailer though!

 

yeah i guess, hanging out with the fambam and eating a lot of turkey is always fun, even if i'm still not 100% comfortable being out as trans around the uncles and aunties

...wait what thread is this again

 

Oh you know it! Gonna eat til I pop and pass out in front of the tv at grandpa’s

 

Addison Rae the final girl we deserve

 

Ehhhh... I want it to be good, but I don't love Eli Roth and wish they kept the Grindhouse look for it.

 

Wait why didn't anyone tell me Black Xmas 2019 is a feminist manifesto just like my bb the original but more overt? OG Jess is one of my fave movie characters of all time and she walked so this movie could SPRINT

Imogen Poots is also like the most beautiful person I died when I saw her I love her and didn't know she was in it

 

I loved VHS 85!!!

 

I think this thread appropriately lowered my expectations for Pet Semetary Bloodlines, because I didn't hate it?? It wasn't good, per se -- some lazy writing and wonky performances -- but also, I love seeing Native actors on screen, David Duchovny was great, and there were a lot of interesting themes. It could have been a lot worse!

 

started showing my friends Doctor Sleep director's cut finally. halfway through I asked them if we should have an intermission or continue next time and they opted for the latter haha. they seem to be handling it well, though, describing it as "not scary, but intense." I said "uhh trigger warning" before baseball kid's scene and they all immediately left the room to get more snacks haha. I of course absolutely love this movie, and I love that I'm getting to share it with them now.

 

Now that I’ve sat with it some, I expected more from Audition, but holy hell this has me fucked up for a number of reasons:

“All words are lies, but pain doesn’t lie. When you’re in pain, you see your own shape clearly. Only pain and suffering will make you realize who you are. Only when you’re in extreme pain do you understand your own mind.”

 

Was not expecting to like Prey so much but holy hell it kind of whipped lmao

 

It fucking rules.

 

I convinced my fiance to rewatch Bly Manor for my birthday and I'm so excited haha. She hates Flanagan shows.

 

It's the best Predator movie

 

Hell House LLC Origins was very good! I have very minor complaints. Super effective and creepy and comparable to the first.

 

Also watched it last night and enjoyed it quite a bit as well.

 

Finally got my grubby, little mitts on my favorite soundtrack!!

 

That’s so badass!

 

Needed some comfort movies today, so I just did Scream 5 & 6 and now I’m doing As Above, So Below.
