The Horror Thread 2U • Page 756

I can't rank a top ten, they all excel in different areas

Most personal: I Saw the TV Glow
Most well crafted: The First Omen
Most well acted: Longlegs
Most bonkers: Cuckoo, Immaculate
Most interesting visual effects: Stopmotion
Funniest: Abigail, Lisa Frankenstein
Coziest: MaXXXine, Late Night with the Devil
Saddest: A Quiet Place Day One
Gayest: Love Lies Bleeding
I think the only one I found disappointing was The Watchers

as for the rest of the year...

Ones I'm interested in:
Alien Romulus
Smile 2
Nosferatu
Blink Twice
AfrAId

Ones I'm not really interested in but could give it a shot:
Trap
Heretic
The Front Room
Never Let Go
Night Bitch, The Substance (haven't seen trailers)

Nope. Not for me:
Speak No Evil, Terrifier 3, In a Violent Nature (too extreme)
Sting (spiders, no thank you)
The Crow, Night Swim, anything else that's reviewed poorly

 

I watched immaculate last night. And yeah the last 30 minutes was wild. I think the first Omen edges it out for me just because I thought it was so visually stunning, but if I could combine visuals of the first Omen with the last half hour of immaculate that would be like the perfect movie

 

I still have some catching up to do but so far this year I really loved In a Violent Nature and Lisa Frankenstein. Abigail was fun. Maxxxine was a bit of a miss for me.

 

Finally watched Hauntedween this weekend. Pretty great, '80s frat comedy plus Halloween slasher ripoff that goes a little harder than you'd think.

 

top ten '24 so far:

10. Humane
9. Stopmotion
8. The First Omen
7. Maxxxine
6. Longlegs
5. I Saw the TV Glow
4. Abigail
3. Infested
2. Lisa Frankenstien
1. Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person

Infested & Humanist technically 2023 but didn't seem readily available until 2024.

 

Guess I should move Lisa Frankenstein up my watch list then.

Snagged my ticket to see Strange Darling Thursday night.

 

Lisa Frankenstein is fun

 

Fully support that decision, Lisa Frankenstein was great!

 

Lisa Frankenstein was so meh for me its interesting seeing it so high on peoples list.

 

Lisa Frankenstein ruled and hopefully will become a new classic that shapes the tastes of youngsters like Heathers and Edward Scissorhands did for other generations.

 

I'll need to think over a favorite list as of yet, but my favorite two movies this year in general are I Saw the TV Glow and Bottoms.

 

If anyone cares, this one was written by Simon Barrett.

 

Earned a spot in my yearly Sept-Oct canon. Love it so much

 

In a Violent Nature and Late Night with the Devil are my favorites of the year so far. otherwise I haven’t seen it or didn’t think all that much of it to mention

 

My favourite horror films of the year so far are Abigail, Lisa Frankenstein, Longlegs, Maxxxine and In A Violent Nature

 

Love a slowburn myself. Just really dug the stop motion itself and I'm a big fan of the character spiraling into madness trope lol

 

Lisa Frankenstein will be in my top 10 I think. Don't wanna reveal anything until the end of the year (not like it matters at all lol)

 

Hmm might have to give Lisa a shot now.

 

Lisa is just so fun. If you like 90s Tim Burton stuff (or Heathers as mentioned), you're gonna gave a great time with it

 

Lisa Frankenstein just feels like it's going to be a cult classic in a few years. Didn't do too well, reception was mid, but a lot of people really loved it and are freaks about it. That's the cult classic recipe.

I wish Humanist Vampire was streaming, I think it just went to digital. Highly recommend it, great mix of comedy / coming of age / fun vampire stuff.

 

I really wanna watch Humanist. Seeing it get rec’d here and the trailer was amusing

 

I gotta be honest, I don’t even think I’ve heard of it! I should find a trailer
