The Horror Thread 2U • Page 401

Definitely. It's really harrowing and terrifying stuff. Big Silent Hill vibes

 

Based on my Letterboxd scores:
1. Parasite (if it counts)
2. Silence of the Lambs
3. The Shining
4. Nope
5. Titane
6. The Killing of a Sacred Deer
7. The Thing
8. Ex Machina
9. Barbarian
10. Green Room
11. House

 

Wow!

 

Not sure if this is a good wow or a bad wow, but I'll take it lol

Some recents on there for sure but my rule of thumb is, if I've watched it more than twice and it's still sticking that 5-star landing for me (Pearl, Skinamarink), it's fair game. Good mix of cozy watches, films I feel exemplify the genre, and films that genuinely scare me.

 

Parasite at number one is interesting, I have no idea how to classify that film. In fact, Aliens and Mandy would absolutely make my top 10 films but they're so out there genre-wise that I wound up not including them in mine

 

I think I'd limit mine to American films of the 21st century because that's all I'm familiar with haha...

 

More wow, I really need to see Pearl

 

Jacob's Ladder is so fucking good

 

I still haven’t watched Pearl..

 

I think we need to appoint a new sheriff

 

Yeah its an incredible film that definitely has some horror elements in the end, but doesn't feel like a horror film in totality. Still, one of the best movies I've ever seen.

 

Chorus.fm Pearl Watch Party when

 

Omg let’s do it

 

Absolutely obsessed with Pearl, going to be one of my next tattoos. I hate doing official order but my top 10 would be something like:

The Thing (1982)
Hereditary
Evil Dead (2013)
Pearl
Braindead
Diabolique (1955)
Psycho (1960)
The Wailing
Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Angst

 

Saw Cocaine Bear last night and ok ok it was a fun time. Still, I left the theater more taken with the Evil Dead Rise trailer. It literally gives me goosebumps and I absolutely cannot wait to see it opening night

 

Lord must have been generous to you. He never answers any of my prayers. I don't know why. What did I do? What is wrong with me? Please just tell me so I can get better.
I quote that so much from pearl.

get a watch party together or I’ll rewatch tonight lmao

 

Oh we doing top 10??

Halloween (78)
Scream (96)

Based on what Letterboxd classes as horror lol. Pearl wouldn't be that far off mine too honestly. Wonderful film!

 

The Exorcist
The Shining
Wake in Fright
Jacob’s Ladder
Don’t Look Now
Midsommar
Evil Dead
It Follows
Personal Shopper
The Witch

I’m sure I’m missing some but gave it a shot

 

Personal Shopper is so damn good

 

Can't commit to a solid list but I can for sure list Jaws, Halloween (78), and Annihilation as locks

 

Hell yes!

 

So interesting to see when a director remakes their own film. I really remember enjoying Last Shift.
