I can't stop laughing.

 

Lmao.

swear to god I just came in here to give a live update on my skinamarink experience, but after that..there’s really no point.

 

I'd still love to hear about it

 

I’m just not digging this. The jump scares are cool, but I really don’t have the attention span to digest this appropriately. I’m not dunking on the film’s vision or integrity at all… the visuals and sound design are fucking sweet.. but meh.. I’d much rather experience this as a short film. I gotta check out Heck.

 

Onto The Outwaters. See y'all on the other side

 

I regret to report that The Outwaters was a swing and a miss for me. I'm a sucker for found footage, but my biggest pet peeve in movies is when they're so visually dark that you can't follow what's happening. If that bothers you, I would say steer clear of this one. It's definitely a more disturbing but less creepy version of The Bllair Witch Project for the 2020s, and its mileage will vary for most people here. I won't call it a bad film, but it wasn't for me (particularly irs execution), although between this, Skinamarink, and We're All Going to the World's Fair, I'm loving the new wave of LGBTQ+ horror and will definitely be keeping an eye on whatever this director does next. Curious to hear other thoughts on this one.

 

This is closer to my last name than when people pronounce it like the sound a cow makes tbh

It's supposed to rhyme with "book"

 

You got any family recipes you can make a Mook Cook Book

 

I was shook I took a Nook and found a book and now look I can cook like a Mook

 

It's 3am

 

Triple post roast.

 

Nekromantic was fucked! Really made me feel icky

 

Re: The Scary Movie discussion from a couple weeks ago (I think it was this thread?), it's been on HBO a few times since then and there's so many gags I forgot about.

I had to turn this one off

 

Second time I've spotted Conjuring 1 and 2 on DVD at Big Lots and decided not to get it... I actually haven't seen any of them, are they any good? A little reluctant to check them out because I have absolutely no interest in Annabelle or The Nun

 

eh

 

The first Conjuring film is a modern classic.

 

Ya The Conjuring is fantastic and really set the standard for modern, mainstream horror. I really like Conjuring 2, but its reception was a lot more mixed.

 

first two Conjurings are honestly almost equal to me - both incredible. Annabelle was a thud but the prequel one was surprisingly good from memory. The Nun and Conjuring 3 are both so-bad-its-good-tier in a theatre with friends, but I'd never consciously watch either one again

 

They're alright. Both solid, but also feel like the equivalent of Marvel-style horror (also see the IT remakes).

 

Hah I was gonna say they felt too "mainstream-y" but "Marvel-style horror" works so much better

 

if that Bathsheba on the cabinet scare doesn't get you then I'm throwing some side eye your way, I'm sorry
