The Horror Thread 2U • Page 565

Thanksgiving was so fucking good lol. Man. I really don't like Roth most of the time, but even with his dialogue and some logistical question marks, the kills and jokes are so, so good. Highly recommend catching it with a crowd. Definitely going to be worthy of a yearly rewatch.

 

For a movie that was on paper, super silly and stupid, he really delivered with the kills. It’s everything you could want out of a not that serious slasher.

 

Thanksgiving ruuuled

 

Forgot to report that When Evil Lurks kicked ass too! A fresh take on a well-trodden subgenre that escapes its bleakness with excellent writing and performances. So gross, too. One of the best of the year.

Terrifier 2 is... still a lot for me, lol

 

Looking forward to seeing all the eoty lists in here soon

 

The best horror movie of the year is Bottoms somehow

 

If people wanna throw their EOTY horror list in here by December 26th, I'll tally a collective list for us

 

Hell yeah

 

In no particular order, my main squeezes of 2023 were:

Thanksgiving
Saw X
Totally Killer
No One Will Save You
Cobweb
Run Rabbit Run
Renfield
Infinity Pool
Talk To Me

Honorable mention:
Evil Dead Rise... It just didn't hit the highs of the 2013 one. I liked it, but I was still a bit disappointed.

 

I don’t think I posted it here, but we watched horror comedy Extra Ordinary last week and really liked it, mainly watched for Claudia O’Doherty but it’s a really well made film with great jokes and some well executed horror elements. It’s streaming on something but I forget what.

 

Talk To Me
Influencer
Totally Killer
Late Night With the Devil
Infinity Pool
Evil Dead Rise
Departing Seniors
Scream VI
No One Will Save You
Appendage
Thanksgiving

and a few bad ones not worth mentioning

edit: have got to see When Evil Lurks still

 

Talk to me more about Run Rabbit Run. I've been on the fence a few times, almost putting it on, but never pulled the trigger.

 

it's sad/dark as shit, and it's got a creepy ass kid. if those are your cups of tea/things you hate, then you'll like/hate it. hahaha.

 

I'm always pouring this kind of tea! Thank you, I'm gonna check it out this week.

 

Suitable Flesh
Beau Is Afraid
Thanksgiving
Talk to Me
When Evil Lurks

 

‘Nosferatu’ – First Look at Robert Eggers Remake Teases Bill Skarsgård’s Count Orlok!

 

It's tough to make distinctions between years and genres. Letterboxd lists Talk to Me as 2022, but that's likely for the same reason I haven't seen Late Night with the Devil yet - wide release will be later. I'm also not including Beau because I think it's a comedy, but it's my favorite film of the year.

 

Still gotta rewatch Scream 6, I enjoyed that and Evil Dead Rise but both have sunk a little bit amongst all the good shit we got this year.

 

Talk To Me premiered at Sundance in 2022, but didn't get a wide release until early 2023.

 

It's just hard because I can't sort by that on Letterboxd, lol

 

I haven't caught this yet, hopefully this weekend, but it's coming to Shudder on Dec 1

‘It’s a Wonderful Knife’ Begins Streaming at Home in December

 

Man, idk what it is but nothing really did it for me this year outside a few films. for the record I haven’t watched When Evil Lurks or Run Rabbit Run.

1. Thanksgiving
2. Infinity Pool
3. Saw X
4. Totally Killer
5. Talk to me
6. Evil Dead Rise
7. Scream 6
8. Renfield
9. Cobweb
10. Haunted Mansion

looking back, there were some good ones but getting X, Terrifier 2, Barbarian, Speak No Evil, Pearl, The Watcher made 2022 feel like a monumental year for horror. Nothing this year impacted me like any of those. Looking forward to hopefully changing that with When Evil Lurks

 

More people should check out Brooklyn 45 on Shudder!

 

Along with Huesera and Attachment!

 

I think my favorite find on Shudder is still Sissy
