Horror films.

The Initiation was great! It wasn't overly scary but it had some creepy moments

Spoiler: see here for creepy moment

like someone lurking in the wardrobe - that was good

and fairly likeable characters. I really liked Ralph - the jokey twat in horror is usually really annoying but he was quite sweet. Poor Marcia though! Peter was quite hot as well and is a total silver fox on his IMDb pic now!

It has pacing issues like a lot of 80's slashers, it should not take as long as it does to get them locked in the mall,
But it's a lot of fun

Just watched this again recently as I hadn't seen since it was first released. I'd forgotten how great it was. Got to be one of the best horror remakes.

Maybe I should watch it again as I loathed it, it was too sadistic.

I watched Tenebre again, it is quite trashy compared to Dario's earlier films. But the death scenes are great. It was quite camp and I loved the synth-heavy score inspired by rock and disco.

 

[Andrew]

That jump scare with the dog gets me everytime.

Tenebre is messy, but it's a fun watch, and Goblin were bashing out the bops

Re-watched Hollow Man. Absolutely a guilty pleasure. So dumb. I love that it just turns into a full blown slasher movie in the last 30 minutes.

The Menu was phenomenal. Tense, hilarious, brutal…it had everything. What a cast, what a movie! I think it might take the spot as my favourite movie released in 2022.

Evil Dead 2013 being one of my favorite horror movies is hilarious considering the circumstances around my first time watching it and the fact that it almost completely goes against what I end up loving about horror movies.

 

[HairBodyFace]

Should I watch Ma? Is it an entertaining, worthwhile mess or just a plain mess?

Yes. It's camp, but also genuinely good in my opinion.

One of the few horror movies that has genuinely terrified me in my adulthood.

Did you guess the twist though?

The characters are really nicely drawn for a change, we get some depth before they're cruelly dispatched.

No. And it was so camp. Daphne Zuniga (Kelly) reminded me of a cross between Heather Langenkamp and Sigrid.

What the hell was that mall though?! A place that size with about 15 floors had one night security guard?! It was such an intriguing place. IMDb tells me it's the Dallas Market Center. It doesn't look like any mall I've ever been to!

 

[Hudvar]

I didn't guess it either - they cloaked it quite nicely. A mid-budget remake would be good.

I need to rewatch The Menu with altered expectations. I did like it a lot but kept waiting for it to boil over into full horror territory and it never really did. Thinking of it primarily a dark comedy is the best way to enjoy, I'd say.

The wife of the old man in The Menu was so funny. The ‘don’t normally like foam’ line took me out, she was giving a bit of Mrs White in Clue.

All of the characters were hilarious, the actors girlfriend/assistant ‘mmm it’s the emoji for me’ had me howling. And the food critics ‘who wants some wine, fuck it’.

Yeah, it's a near-perfect satirical dark comedy, but I wouldn't consider it horror in the slightest.

I’ve watched You Might Be The Killer today but it hasn’t really held my attention and I just looked up to see it’s still on and thought “fucking hell, how long is this” - I checked and it’s 1hr 32. Not a great sign!

 

[Steve003]

Watched Warning Signs from 1985. Overall it was solid if a little slow. Kathleen Quinlan slayed as usual. Speaking of that queen I was obsessed with this movie as kid even though it's probably awful



"They have 9 lives. We only have one." Iconic tagline though.

Strays is great fun for a TV movie, my Mum let me stay up and watch it when it was on some movie channel back in the early 90's.
Love a killer cat film, the first story in The Uncanny may never be beaten for me

 

[Steve003]

So scrolling through the horror section on HBO Max I stumbled upon a 5 minute short film called "The Big Shave" I said why not it's only 5 minutes. As someone who always gets anxious during shaving scenes in tv/movies this was hard to sit through. Jesus christ.

Then I do some research and it was directed by Martin Scorsese!

 

[Tchelitchew]

I squeed a bit when Judith Light popped up in The Menu. Total icon!
