The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 405

Is the Carrie remake worth watching? My work has it and the original on blu-ray for $5. Thinking of picking them up for my horror podcast (launching this week!)

Also picking up Candyman for $5 this week.

 

Not really... as Chloe Grace Moretz is a terrific actress, she’s not believable as the type that would be bullied in school. Same goes for the Let The Right One In remake. Watching both of those made me appreciate the originals more.

 

I actually love Let the Right One In haha

 

If you're looking to see what's being added to streaming month.

 

Me too... Let Me In was unnecessary

 

Whoops, I actually meant Let Me In. My bad haha

 

Just saw this, going to watch some of the Huluween Film Fest shorts.

 

Franklin in the original TCM is a top five unlikable character in horror, change my mind.

 

They added Scream 2 to Starz so now all four are on there!

Also, I’m always expecting the Peaky Blinders to show up every time they play Red Right Hand in the first two lol

 

So fun fact, I did a podcast with the director of this with some friends like two years ago, never got to watch it. Two years later, it’s on Hulu. Please go check this out, the guy’s name is Matt Stuertz and he’s a STL native, damn proud of him.

 

Hell Fest was dumb

 

I wasn’t expecting anything less. It was fun

 

I actually haven’t seen a good amount of these tbh. Id be interested in knowing what people consider their favorites from this list

 

My not-so-obvious picks would be:

- House of 1000 Corpses (just revisited and this one holds up)
- AVP (it's...not great, but my friends and I loved it as kids)
- Alien Covenant
- The Fly II (it's better than you'd think)
- Donnie Darko (one of my favorite movies in general)
- The Amityville Horror remake (also not great, but one of the first horror movies that stuck with me as a teenager)
- Strangers: Prey At Night
- Halloween 4 (probably the last truly good Halloween movie imho)

The more obvious choices would be The Silence of the Lambs, American Psycho, The Blair Witch Project, Child's Play, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Return of the Living Dead, Halloween, and The Shining.

 

Hold up Hulu has the rec movies omg??!!

 

Glad to see the new Halloween getting solid reviews, now have that and the original to get excited about seeing at the cinema.

Ambitious haha @secretsociety92 I wish you luck. That’s a solid list

 

I know haha but luckily horror films are typically only around the 90 minute mark and thanks, been compiling it for the past week searching through various formats.

 

Which platform did you find the greasy strangler on? I haven’t exactly searched myself haha. I just remember the reception and I’m curious to see it myself.

 

Oh that is one of many I found on something we have in the UK which is Sky Digital, basically a load of channels and that was on one called Film4 which I doubt you will find in the US. I also use Amazon Prime, NowTV and Cinema Paradiso.

 

I personally really enjoy both of them. I love Let the Right One In, but Let Me In was a really great American remake that I still feel portrays the nuances of the story really well. and the cinematography is stunning. I think they're both great and that way people can either enjoy both or if they aren't a fan of foreign films they have a really well done version to enjoy as well.

 

damn, thank you and thank Fangoria!

 

Starz also just added a lot of the classic Universal monster movies if anyone is interested in those! They have a surprisingly great horror selection, it made me glad I forgot to cancel my membership after catching up on Outlander, haha.

 

Honestly Starz in general has one of my favorite premium movie libraries. I find great stuff on there all the time. Showtime's is probably the worst.

 

wow that is a great selection! hellooooo starz subscription for the month haha
