The ULTIMATE horror movie discussion thread part 2: Revenge of TUHMDT

Yall HAVE to watch Spring and The Endless and then go see Synchronic which just came out today. Can't wait to go see it this weekend I watched Spring and The endless twice(mostly because I watched The Endless first on accident) and enjoyed them both times. Synchronic they finally got some big name actors for it.

The Endless and Resolution are great mindfuks. Spring also great. Didn't know about Synchronic, but looks like a must see.

Bewbs?

i like spring more than the endless. the endless is ambitious but is a bit convoluted. spring isnt really horror though i think of it more as romance

I watched all the extra content on the Friday the 13fh shout factory blu ray collection... really awesome stuff... like such an extraordinary grass roots franchise

80s movie called brain damage. loved it, it's very goofy and weird but unsettling at the same time. basically this ****-talking alien parasite takes over a guy's body and uses him as a host to kill other people. basically works as commentary for drug addiction. really good and imaginative practical effects and really carried by the voice acting for the alien parasite. hilarious but weirdly commanding performance at the same time.

A somewhat lesser known but excellent zombie film, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, free on youtube in 1080p:

Descent is on my shortlist any good paranormal gems I might not have seen? I like the really dark serious type of films.

Been a while since a movie made me sort of adjust my seat.

"Orphan" 6/10

I am going to be honest I guessed roughly what the ending/twist would be very early on, I'd say I was 90% sure. However the one scene at the end I was going: "Oh no, are they really going to do it this way?" made me cringe a bit but it didn't go too far.

"Don't Breathe" "The Devil's Backbone" "The Ritual" "Wrong Turn" "The House of 1000 Corpses" more in my list that' I've watch sort of recently. They are all worth one watch but "The Ritual" was a rewatch, it's a solid "Found footage" movie.

The Haunting of Bly Manor - Netflix, pls stop. 2/10

I watched 2 episodes, bored to tears, cannot go on. Absolutely nothing new, kids and dolls are not f'n scary.

I didnt even try because it looked like more leftist SJW bullchit by netflix.

Finished To The Lake. Criminally underrated. I may have figured out why. A lot of reviews complain about women being portrayed as helpless. Imagine that, women being weaker than men, especially in a post apocalyptic situation... To be honest, the show has a strong woman, but she's flawed af, you know, like a real person, not some Hollywood feminist fantasy.

So if you like post apocalyptic stuff, zombies (it's not a zombie show, though) etc. like The Walking Dead (i think this one is one of the most OVERrated things on tv), The Road, Fallout (yeah, the game), 28 Days Later, Contagion, The Stand (the book), Children of Men etc., definitely watch this. IMO it's way better than 90% of the stuff Hollywood made on the subject.

Still a 9/10, show of the year for me.

I haven't watched a decent comedy horror since "Blood Sucking Bastards" but I randomly stumbled on one that I haven't seen.

"Harpoon" (2019) 7/10

I was a bit doubtful at the start but it definitely kicks in with some dark humor down the road. It's not a full comedy, but it likes to have long tension then a quick release strategy. There's some pretty visually gruesome scenes in it as well but also sparks a bit of thought what you would do in a similar situation. There are a couple clever twists as well plus some decent acting.

Definitely worth one watch, I'll probably end up watching it again in a years time or so.

"Harpoon" (2019) 7/10

Can confirm. Watched it a few months ago. Didn't expect to enjoy it as much as i did.

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Watched a movie on prime called Afflicted(2014). I was rather impressed after going in with low expectations.

Found footage style movie (I love these), with a pretty cool plot. There is a quick post credit scene which I didn't see coming as well. I'd give it a solid 7.5/10.

Found footage style movie (I love these)

A few off the top of my head: Creep 1&2, REC (the best), As above so below, Unfriended 1&2 (computers screen FF subgenre), Hell House, Savageland, The Bay, VHS 1&2, Trollhunter, Man Bites Dog (somewhat shocking, but very good), Gonjiam, Behind the Mask, Grave Encounters, The Sacrament (aka Midsommar lite), The tunnel, Final Prayer, The fourth Kind, Evidence (2013, underrated).

Tons more out there. Under 6 on imdb they're usually hit or miss, but anything over 6 is worth watching. Like almost all horror actually. I like the genre a lot and have seen a lot of them, but still have a huge backlog.

[Madvillainy]

don't think it's anything amazing but antrum is worth checking out as a unique spin on found footage. not presented as the characters filming themselves but rather that the movie itself is cursed and it was dug up 20 years later to be presented to audiences. the set-up is a little corny at the start but the movie itself is well done IMO.

Of that list I've seen:
REC - fantastic
Creep - also great
As Above, so Below - one of the best IMO
Hell House - very good
VHS 1, 2 and Viral - 1 and 2 were awesome, Viral was horrible.
Grave Encounters - loved
Fourth Kind - loved

I'll look into the other ones.


I just watched FF movie Willow Creek - I found this on quite a few lists of recommended FF movies. It was a 5/10 for me. A whole lot of nothing for awhile....went from 0 to 100, then over really fast.

The houses October built - haunted house found footage. If you liked Hell House LLC, you'll probably enjoy this. Not as good, but worth seeing, definitely better than HH LLC 2&3. 6.5/10

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Just watched Dark Mountain on Prime. Not bad. 5/10 I'll give it.

I get that these FF movies are supposed to be taken exactly how they are, "found footage", and all aspects of the story won't be explained, but I feel this one plus some of the others I've watched have been way too vague.

[darkninja67]

You guys catch the Halloween Inferno fan film on YouTube? Not bad all things considered.

[maori-rap]

One of the best post 2000 horror movies there is. Neil Marshall masters the art of starting slow and building the levels of terror and tensions as the movie progresses.

Thinking of signing up to 'Shudder'. Is it worth the monthly fee in terms of quality content?

[AWillis]

Black Sheep (2006)


ok.................

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Forgot to add The Gracefield Incident to my FF list. This one was pretty good. 6.5/10.

I'm watching this right now, just started. I'll report back.

All these found footage comments...I was browsing horror in Crackle and found one called Hallow. Checked it out last night and enjoyed it. The film did not receive good reviews, as many of the found footage genre. The idea of the film was pretty original, filming location creepy, no fake creatures. The only aspect that I slightly disagreed with was the amount of time spent on the personal relationship issues among the group... Still recommended

Winchester - absolutely hated. I read about the house when I was a kid and was always intrigued by the story. I was looking forward to the movie but it turned into a completely unbelievable, shake my head, mainstream special effect horror. Ghosts coming alive, large objects moving, so many cheap jump scares I lost count. This film completely ruined the potential creepy true story of house, I almost couldn't make it all the way through.

[Bodhy]

My first nomination is the original Guinea Pig series. Anyone seen those?

[Shortfuze]

I recommend some good Japanese and Korean horror movies. They do some really clever and interesting stuff.
I enjoyed movies like The Mimic" and "The Wailing".

[ragingcrayon]

Voorhees is horrible. I recommend you all let the director know. Hes out there touting his pos movie as the best in the franchise. Its free on YouTube and cringy af
