The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 122

House (Hausu), Halloween III: Season of the Witch

 

Watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Hobo With a Shotgun last night. HWAS might actually be my favorite modern B-movie, though I'm sure there are a few I'm forgetting. The one-liners and gore were just out of control.

TCM2, on the other hand...I don't know. It was a bit of a love-hate thing, like it was a really awful movie but I did appreciate Bill Moseley and the commitment to shock/camp. The ending left me like

 

A theater in Miami is showing that this weekend! I wanted to go but I work all weekend and it's a midnight screening

 

TCM2 is a masterpiece

 

I hated TCM2 haha. The original is a masterpiece. The follow ups all left me unsatisfied. I know that's not the most popular opinion

 

Eraserhead, Horns, Onibaba, Kuroneko, Videodrome, Suspiria, Peeping Tom, Teeth, the original Wicker Man (not the nick cage version haha)

 

Nice!! Suspiria and Videodrome are high on the list for sure.

 

you can hardly go wrong with Cronenberg. even his non-horror works are horrifying, ahaha. Suspiria is one of my personal favs, a nightmarish hell of a movie.

 

I'm watching Hellraiser II on AMC and it's complete nonsense.

 

Speaking of Cronenberg, check out Dead Ringers

 

ah crap I still need to watch Horns. I really liked the book but it's so sad in parts, idk if I'm in the mood for that tonight, even if I love elijah wood

 

do you mean Daniel Radcliffe?

 

;)

 

so glad someone else feels this way haha, I can't believe I was just seeing it for the first time the other week

also, if any of those other B movies come to mind, post them because I want to watch them

 

ugh, I need to catch up with Bojack (only seen season 1). I also tend to mix up Elijah Wood with JGL

 

prepare yourself for S2, that's all I will say.

 

I enjoyed it a bit more than the first I think. Didn't watch anything after that due to popular consensus

 

Most Troma flicks

 

Nostalgia plays a huge factor in my love for TCM 2, but yea it totally sucks. Still fun though.

Revisiting Saw now for the first time in years. Acting is incredibly poor, but the score alone makes it all worth it.

 

Do you guys prefer movies where the good guy wins or one where the bad guy does? (oversimplified but you know what I mean)

I much prefer when the final girl triumphs.

 

All about the final girl. Sidney Prescott's my fav.

 

Ellen Ripley FTW

 

The part when they finally saw screw it and fight back is the best.

 

A good ending to a horror movie is when every redeemable character is dead

 

In horror specifically I'd much rather see the bad guys win, but if a character goes through a certain amount of shit and doesn't make incredibly stupid decisions, I'm more apt to root for them. I love fake out endings though. Drag Me To Hell immediately comes to mind.

Also, you'll probably like Horns, not as good as the book, but still really good. It won't hit you as hard emotionally as the book did, I can pretty much guarantee that.
