So I just finished watching stopmotion (2023) and I absolutely loved it. The themes of childhood trauma, the shaky sense of reality, the visuals, and the underlying messages and meanings. I need more please

Some examples from me: The Leprechaun- Don’t mess with his gold and he won’t mess with you.

Candyman- Don’t say his name into a mirror 5 times… you’re just asking for him to come.

Pinhead- The box is meant to summon him. Don’t solve the puzzle box.

I was thinking about stuff that hasn't been done in horror movies and then I thought about those cheeky Deadpool moments where he talks to the audience, I began to wonder, how would that work in a horror movie, could it work? A slasher villain or evil spirit that interacts with the movie and breaks the 4th wall to terrorize the audience, I thought about it for a little while, I just wasn't sure, so I'll leave it up to you guys. Would this idea be a slam dunk, or would it be an absolute disgrace to the genre? Maybe it depends on presentation.

Sounds spooky to me, a horror villain begins talking to the audience implying that we are also in peril, but sometimes ideas sound better on paper than in action. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

I just watched it and it is fantastic! It’s engaging and comprehensive, and you get to hear from a ton of franchise alumni. Everyone from Beth Grant to Dakin Matthews offer their insights and memories. All of them seem to be fond of the experience they had.

Gf wants to watch a good horror movie. Any recommendations?

We typically like psych horror or something that involves a criminal/law aspect. We’ve already watched Longlegs and obviously all the classics. We’re horror novices, any recommendations would be awesome. Something recent, preferably. Even a good shark movie would be good. We’ve watched all the classics. Just recently watched Under Paris as well.

We got to see Jesus sweat and panic throughout the movie for 1 hour and 10 minutes, and then the last 10 minutes, they finally discover it. They could have wrapped it up a long time ago, I thought after his wife got home she would come home and find out what happened, and crap would hit the fan but I was wrong.

I've seen The Thing (1982) and In The Mouth of Madness (1994), so it was time to watch Prince of Darkness. It's a very slow burn, but the pay-off is exponential. It only gets better as it progresses. It's not a perfect film, but I always appreciate cerebral horror. 4 / 5

I love the soundtrack throughout the film too.

I love movies that take a while to get under your skin. I want something to creep me out, leaving me with questions long after it ends. I love moody, disturbing films that unsettle you with the story as it unfolds, whether you understand it or not.

Some examples I'd give are The Dark and the Wicked, The Wailing, and Incantation. All of these freaked me out, and I loved them.

So, I admit that I was one of those creepypasta kids back when they were at peak popularity around a decade ago. Over time, many people including myself realized that a lot of the famous stories like “Ticci Toby”, and “Play With Me” were big piles of junk, and moved on.

Well, “moved on” is a little bit of a stretch for me. I still do really enjoy reading and listening to internet horror stories years later as an adult. I love the feeling when a random story I encounter happens to actually be genuinely scary.

I’ve lately been wanting to hop in the time machine and go back to the early 2010s to revisit some oldies. Are there any that you would recommend?

I just binged the entire Chucky TV series over the past week. I’ve always like Devon Sawa but the show gave me a newfound love for him. He was perfect in every part of the show.

Hey guys! I know the movie literally just released but I just wanted to know is there any gore at all in the movie? I booked the tickets to see it next wednesday thinking it was more of a psychological horror after watching the trailer but then I saw somebody online compare it to saw?? I am extremely squeamish I can handle some amounts of blood or maybe like a couple of cuts but I can’t really stand detailed gore I will legitimately vomit lmao. Spoilers are welcome, I will be going to see the movie anyway as i’ve already paid but it would be really nice to know if I’ll have to briefly shut my eyes so my popcorn doesn’t come back up lol! Thanks in advance haha

Did the ending work for you? I finally watched it after failing to get around to it for many months and I'm very disappointed. It's clear from the beginning that this is going to be a serious movie that doesn't lean into theatricality or the heightened / dramatic aspects of cinema, but the ending just left me going "meh". I was expecting Kelly-Anne to be revealed as the true serial killer that was framing Ludovic for her murders, or for the movie to end up being her origin story as a serial killer inspired by Ludovic's murders. The fact that she just >!watched a video and left it as evidence while also enjoying watching said video!< didn't do anything for me. Did you find this to be a good enough or big enough pay off?

One of my favourite films to come out fairly recently (and the more pleasantly surprising) was the fear street series. One thing I like about that is it had multiple slashers all appearing at once with their own "thing" to put it in simple terms.

I know you got stuff like Freddy VS Jason or Cabin In The Woods (not necessarily slashers but multiple killers in the same movie) but I'm hoping for films with their own orginal killers that are not working together or atleast aren't on each other sides. Think Dead By Daylight but in movie form.

With thar in mind, do you have any suggestions?

So every October I watch 31 films. For a good portion of the films I watch stuff I might not normally watch and usually they turn out to be awful, with the occasional great/good film. So there aren't too many I can recommend from my viewing this month. Here they are 3 to 5 stars:

Beyond the Black Rainbow 2012 4
Horsehead 2014 3.5
Oddity 2024 3
Long Legs 2024 3
The Demon Pond 1979 3.5
Candyman 2021 3(lowered expectations if you haven't seen it yet)
The Host 2006 3
The Darkness on the Road 2021 3
Things Will Be Different 2024 3
Dagon 2001(rewatch) 3.5

And if you want a film perfect for MST3K there's Scarecrows from 1988.

I suggest definitely skipping:
Ejecta 2014
Unhappy Birthday 2011
Little Deaths 2011
Brain Dead 2007

Seems like Japan is incapable of making these types of explicit and graphic shock movies anymore. Please let me know if I'm wrong. But this film does a great job with originality and the shock factor. Watching this the day after Halloween because I just found out about it, I wish I had learned of it sooner. A scientist who just wanted to help people ended up creating something which people abused, like other drugs made for pain relief. This would be an awesome comparative way of showcasing the effects of prescription drugs abused by those who needed them. How they fall down that addiction hole and go to deep until they end up killing themselves. Excellent exploration into the world of harmful addiction but in a violent gory manner. I saw this film as a metaphor for that exact thing.

Just out of a mammoth session at London FrightFest 2024 and, as ever, I won't be sleeping easily tonight 😳

The quality has been up and down today, but the last film of the night was a banger! It's called Advent and is a slow-burn, Christmas-themed psychological horror of the best kind. Best to go into it without knowing too much, but it does involve the spookiest advent calendar you'll ever come across. You have been warned 👻

On IMDB, it says it's out on 1 December but not sure who's distributing.

This will be the last Romero Dead movie. Well Milla does have experience fighting zombies and other nasties from Resident Evil series and the Monster Hunter movie. I do wonder if the end of the series will be similar to the end of his novel The Living Dead. I am unfamiliar with the movies director Brad Anderson made, he has done extensive directing for TV. I just hope it doesn’t become Alice in Living Dead world. Note it’s Brad Anderson not Paul Anderson who directed Resident Evil movies.

Hi everyone!! (sorry for the bad english and ummm small disclaimer but i'm not trying to shame anyone from liking american psycho (except the ones who idolize bateman obviously)!!)

I understand what this movie is trying to say and I appreciated some of it scenes, however, it's been month and I just can't get over the sex scenes in this movie. They made me absolutely hate this movie... They disgusted me to an unbelievable level and I wish I never saw the movie because of it. I understand that they were meant to show Bateman's deshumanised view on women and shows his own masculine insecurities, but why did they have to be so graphic. I hate how the movie can be super goofy at time and then shows him SA women, I don't want to see that and especially not in an over the top movie. I don't think it contrast well with the point of the film cause this subject is way too realistic and serious to be portrayed as such... Maybe I'm just way too sensible but there is a point where I see something in a movie that disgust me so much and give me so much extreme anxiety that I just can't appreciate it anymore, no matter what it says. I don't want to say that it feels "validist" in a way cause I don't even see how someone can get some sort of appeal in this, but then, I wonder even more how can anyone watch this and stay mentally okay... And soooo since it's been a couple of months since I saw this movie and still think about it, I just kinda wanted to ask people, how do you guys can get over this kind of stuffs without it absolutely destroying your appreciation for a movie?

I wish y'all a nice day!!

With social media buzzing about every new horror release as ‘the scariest film of the decade’ or ‘the best horror movie in years’ it can be hard to know which ones truly live up to the hype. What are some recent horror movies that you think genuinely deserved the praise that it received?

What are some non-horror movies that could have made excellent horror films or psychological thrillers? For instance, many viewers have seen Hallmark Christmas romcoms and felt that the storylines offered the perfect foundation for a gripping psychological thriller. It’s intriguing to consider how these familiar narratives could shift genres!

Ok so I don’t have much experience with horror movies but last night me and my friends watched August underground which was cool and we liked some of the aspects and some we disliked, so now we want to find something that will be on the same level of disturbing, the gore and the effects, even something heavier than that, and if you are familiar with the iceberg chart then something equal to levels 4-6 of the chart will suit I guess.

The problem we had with the movie was that >!they jumped right into the gore stuff, no explanation beforehand of how they got into this situation, who are the people. We just hit play and bam, abused woman on the screen, like can you wait at least ten minutes for us to get into the plot? !< So we want a movie that will have more plot, that things will build up nicely, but won’t overshadow the gross and gore parts, because we want a lot of them but not like in way that the whole movie is pure gore and porn. Also sexual abuse is fine but not to the point where it feels like watching plain hardcore porn in my living room with people. Thank youuu

I love the purge series but all I can think during this movie, is everyday is purge day for the “high end officials”, they could kill her any day of the year and not face legal ramifications, they where able to change the purge rules so obviously they control shit.

To be honest I chuckled in this film a lot and there were no moments where I felt scared or terrified, but none the less it's a nice film. The characters were intriguing especially Mitsuko and Narahara.

What is your own opinion about this film?

Basically looking for not scary horror movies to watch with my kid, we watched most of Vincent Price movies, Universal Monster movies, Blob and Killer Clowns from outer space, stuff like that, any suggestions welcome, thank you

In this video about her https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckZ_YnnO_gU&list=PLL3r8G2ymJ02bqV6xtv7jt3hTbarl5Ylp it's suggested that she cheated on Stu, and possibly has a habit of cheating (since she seems to flirt with the caller, and claims she doesn't have a boyfriend). I had never thought of this before. Personally, I don't think it's the case, as for one Stu just says she dumped him, if she cheated I suspect he would have mentioned it. Also, it doesn't really seem to fit what we know about her: she seems like a nice girl in general, and I always interpreted her flirting with the caller as her figuring it's best to just humor him for the time being, as she indicated earlier that she wanted to be left alone, but he called back anyway. That said, what do you guys think?
