The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 370

I had semi-high expectations for Happy Death Day and it just fell flat for me. It’s by no means a bad movie, but didn’t have the scares or the wit that I was expecting. I thought it was ok but it’s not a movie I’ll probably ever seek out for a rewatch. That’s just me, though.

 

I heard Happy Death Day was pretty good. I don't haven't gotten around to it yet

 

I would never tell someone to not watch Happy Death Day. I know there are movies that I adore that some people likely think are trash. Just wasn’t what I hoped.

 

Happy Death Day ruled

 

Loved Happy Death Day.

Iffy on the idea of there being a sequel coming up...but that's horror.

 

Raw is a helluva movie

 

anyone know if Strangers 2 is streaming anywhere? I know it's mixed reactions but I really want to check it out. I'm going into it not expecting the 1st one.

 

Lastnight, I watched The Thing (1982) for the first time. It was soooo good! Not sure why I slept on it for my entire life.

 

The practical effects still hold up

 

Absolutely!

 

I watched Demon Knight for the first time last night and those practical effects still hold up!

 

Always my favorite from TFTC. JP-S's first role as a total badass and Billy Zane forever catching loogies in the eye.

 

thoughts on Jennifers Body? i might snag the bluray for 4 bucks

 

Great movie imo!

 

Definitely worth $4. It's a lot of fun.

 

Shameless podcast promo op and also it’s a great movie

Ep. 45 - Jennifer's Body and The Invitation (a Karyn Kusama double feature)

 

Oh yeah I forgot Karyn Kusama directed it. The Invitation is one of my favorites of the past few years.

 

lol we gotta plug where we can. speaking of which i need to find out why our second episode did not go live yesterday as planned...... not a good start

 

The Invitation was sooo good. such a slow burn but what a great payoff.

 

Finally got around to seeing A Cure For Wellness. What a beautifully shot film. Rather bizarre. Definitely don’t think I understand all the imagery haha. But very cool

 

Agreed on A Cure For Wellness, very bizarre and very well-shot. I liked it quite a bit. Reminded me of a cross between The Shining and Shutter Island.

 

One of my movie-watching regrets is flaking out the night I was supposed to see A Cure for Wellness in the theatre. It looks breathtaking and goes to some crazy places; it’s so cool an original horror story like that got a wide release. It’s just a movie I loved spending time with and it would have been nice to do that while it was on the big screen

 

My wife and I ended up watching it in theaters because the showing of Get Out we had planned on going to was sold out. Needless to say, it worked out great because I doubt we would have gone back out to catch A Cure For Wellness if it wasn’t for the sold out Get Out show.

 

guess I need to check it out then

 

It’s worth a viewing for sure. The only reason I waited so long to see it was it’s a bit of a time commitment at over 2 and 1/2 hours.
