The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 30

Love Ghostwatch. It sucks that I have seen so many movies expecially when I go somewhere like this and ask for reccomendations. I just feel like a jerk saying "seen it, seen it, loved it."

Thanks for all the help though!

 

some more of my favs that people may not have seen

Maniac Cop (1 & 2)
Trouble Every Day
The Bird With the Crystal Plumage (really any Argento film from the 70's/80's)
Messiah of Evil
Vampyr
The Addiction
God Told Me To
I Walked With a Zombie

 

Did you come to this thread before the changeover to Chorus? There were a bunch of people that I haven't seen in here what so ever.

-The Battery
-Resolution
-The Encounter - alien related but really good.
-Appetites - super low budget Natural Born Killer type vibe.
-Bloodsucking Bastards - The vampire Shaun of The Dead.
-Cooties
-Armistice - Guy keeps waking up in a house and murdered over and over and over.
-Wither (Swedish film) - Makes the Evil Dead Remake look innocent.

I'm pretty sure you haven't seen at least a couple of that list.

 

I have not seen: the battery, appetites, armistice, or wither !

 

Alright well out of all those, The Battery is the most "indie", if that makes sense. Wither is the most complete and gloriously violent and 99% practical effects. Whatever filter they used to film makes this look so beautiful.

 

I'm going to have to hunt down Wither. The Evil Dead remake was so much fun. I'd love to see a Swedish equivalent.

 

Just bask in the glorious Karo syrup. Also some of the scariest visuals in some time.

 

Any easy platform to find it on that you know of off the top of your head? Save me some searching haha

 

Well, I torrent a lot of this stuff.

kat.ph search for it there.

 

I'll take a look. Thank you!

 

saw and liked The House of the Devil a lot! wish there had been a bit more payoff and a little fewer obvious "this situation is not normal and you should be worried" moments, but great control of atmosphere and wonderful homage to old horror (loved the Psycho reference).

 

one of my all time favorite horror flicks.

 

Jeepers Creepers is freaky to me.

 

I don't like it much after the first 30 minutes

 

The 2nd one was stupid.

 

What creeps me out about JC is that a convicted pedophile made it and it's sequel, and that people can't understand that we as a society should not allow people like that to make more movies.

 

Now more positive stuff, we really ought to as a thread compile a list of must see movies for newcomers to the genre. I love people getting into horror and I think we, as a group of people who knows their shit, should help people build a foundation. I dunno, I think it's a cool idea.

 

i'd be down with it

 

I think my taste is a bit different from a lot of ppl in here but I'd be interested in a list! And I'd fight to the death for my bb the Faculty to be on it!!!!!

 

As long as Carpenter's The Thing is on there! I'd like to see a list from all of you. I'm sure there are some classics I haven't seen.

 

how do we wanna do it then?

 

Something like 5-10 films with some sort of justification explained? I think it'd be be fun to actually keep in mind that the list is designed to be for someone new to horror and would serve as an introduction. I'm sure a bunch of top ten lists from all of us, things are going to get obscure or extreme.

 

Wow I never knew that. I love that movie but now it's leaving such a bad taste in my mouth, ugh.

 

Probably wanna do 10 overall then 10 in some of the larger subgenres (paranormal/ghost, thriller, slasher, classic, etc).
