The Horror Thread 2U • Page 185

Yeah, both Eggers and Aster films for sure. Prestige horror can occasionally come off as pretentious, but those are shining examples of the medium

 

Saw this trailer last night during my 4th viewing of Scream '22, and it looks pretty great

 

Yeah the trailer stuck out to me too in theaters. Looks spooky as shit.

 

Would like to attempt an it Comes at Night/Children of the Corn double-feature tonight.

Did the Dark and the Wicked (surprisingly good for how bleak it is) and The Faculty (still rules) over the weekend

 

I started out watching only prestige horror, but I've come to love horror comedies as well, like Freaky/Happy Death Day 1-2, The Babysitter 1-2, and Ready or Not.

And horror comedy musical, Anna and the Apocalypse.

 

Anna and the Apocalypse has become a firm staple for our household every Christmas now. Still get the hollywood ending song stuck in my head from time to time.

 

those guys are making just incredible stuff and I can't wait to see all the crazy shit they do in the future.

 

Also throw Jordan Peele and Jennifer Kent into that mix. I think I liked Us more than most people.

 

In addition to those mentioned, I Really wanna see Benson and Moorhood come back after Moon Knight and deliver a new sci-fi horror feature. I think they'll be poised to do something awesome (hopefully) after the Marvel exposure assuming the show is received well. Also, Leigh Whannel, as well as the duo behind Ready or Not and the new Scream.

 

I did a double feature of The Faculty and Wild Things last night! On a big 90s kick right now.

 

Classics from the era, without a doubt.

 

Oh man, this looks like to be a great combination of some supernatural and creature feature vibes

 

Never seen Wild Things, maybe I should fix that?

 

Probably. Maybe not? Not horror. More of an erotic, whodunnit thriller.

 

a classic 90s thriller featuring Neve Campbell and Denise Richards! plenty of twists and good performances

i think you would enjoy it. it's on netflix.

 

Yeah, both descriptions sound up my alley. I'll add it to my list for the next time I need a 90s flick!

 

I'll throw out Resolution/The Endless cos I didn't see them get a mention. also if you count it as horror, Coherence is one of my all-time favourites

 

Coherence is so good

 

the house of the devil, under the skin, trouble every day, and you're next are some of my favorites

 

I've never seen Trouble Every Day, but the premise sounds interesting.

 

Seconding House of the Devil

 

Idk if Annihilation counts, but I'm throwing it out there.

If we're still talking about post the year 2000, then definitely Martyrs (2008).

 

Annihilation has become one of my favorite movies ever

 

I'd say Ex Machina and Annihilation are both horror-adjacent and near-perfect

 

Some of Annihilation isn't even horror-adjacent, it's just pure horror. Looking at you human-screaming mutated bear
