The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 57

i skipped school and saw resident evil by myself. pretty sure that was my first R.

 

Purge: Election Year was silly as shit but I had a blast. I don't remember much of the second one (other than it seemed way more enjoyable than the first), but the less these movies take themselves seriously, the better, so this very well may have been the best one yet. Some of the imagery was still heavy-handed, but most of time it was shamelessly over-the-top and that played to it's advantage.

I'm also very happy with the ending and glad they didn't just cop out by killing Roan off for sequels' sake. Now I'm actually interested in where they could take a sequel and the influence the rest of this election will have on it. These movies may never be as smart as they seem, but I also think they're more self-aware than most give them credit for.

 

convinced my mom and sister to watch slither this weekend while i was up for the holiday. they hated on it so much and kept calling it dumb and a waste. what started as lighthearted bickering turned serious and i got mad and just turned it off and let them watch shark week.

 

Jon Lajoie (The League) has a new musical project under the moniker "Wolfie's Just Fine" and put out a video that pays tribute to Friday the 13th Part V

 

Scream Factory's 'Child's Play' Blu-ray set: exclusive details

 

Watched Carnage Park. It was decent, but I don't see myself ever going back to it. I'd highly recommend director Mickey Keating's previous film, Darling, which is fantastic.

This looks good.

 

Was considering watching this tonight... should I not?

 

I think it's worth watching. And it's a brisk ~80min, which is nice.

 

Before I Wake is godawful unfortunately, I absolutely loved Hush and Oculus but struggled to make it through an hour of this one. Just comes off real goofy.

Carnage Park is my favorite movie of the year so far. Just watched it last night - pretty much everything I want in a movie. Incredible cinematography and striking imagery coupled with wild bloodshed. Surprisingly artful while being a whole lot of fun. Darling just shot up my watchlist.

 

Might go see The Shallows and The Purge over the weekend

 

The Purge is surprisingly worth it, I have not heard the same about The Shallows however

 

I feel like if I've seen one "help I'm stranded in the ocean with a shark" movie I've seen them all. The decent reviews from ppl I know for the Shallows intrigued me but I thought it was just okay. I didn't regret watching it but I'll probably never watch it again. Not my subgenre

 

That's interesting. What are some of your other favorites of 2016?

 

are any great horror movies going to come out this year? i haven't been very impressed with anything. The Witch is pretty good but nowhere near the quality of the best horror from recent years

 

I shamefully love the Scream TV show.

 

I shamelessly love that show but I haven't started the 2nd season yet

 

I'm on episode 2 of season 2 and I'm addicted again.

 

This season isn't on Hulu so I guess I won't get to watch it until it hits Netflix

 

The episodes are added to Netflix weekly here which is great.

 

I can count on one hand, the movies I've fallen asleep to in theaters in my 29+ years on earth--The Shallows is one of them.

 

The Witch, Hush, Green Room, Baskin and The Lobster are the ones that come to mind though I'm sure there are many more.

 

The new Adam Wingard is my most anticipated

 

Is The Descent considered horror bc that movie still scares the piss out of me.
