!How the hell did Sam date Richie for that long and have no idea who his parents or siblings were at all, what they looked like, nothing? Especially after the whole thing was done with in V, she never found out who his relatives were, even then?!<
!In Scream 2 they explained a similar twist by 1. Sydney never really coming across Nancy Loomis (Billy Loomis mother) herself directly in the sequel to recognize her 2. She had a complete make over and body change so nobody would recognize her.!<
I’m looking for horror movies with either a Mexican cast or it’s a Mexico production. I know the obvious ones like Cronos and Huesera but I’m stuck to come up with a good list.
Note: I’m not looking for Spanish movies like REC or When Evil Lurks
I'm craving a good fix for my favorite sub-genre, and digging through streaming services I feel like I've seen it all. The Superdeep, The Beach House, Bite, Color Out of Space, The Seed, multitudes of fungal, insect, zombie, and alien infections. Anybody seen anything good in this vein recently that's flown under the radar? Feel free to recommend classics too in case someone else has this itch to scratch and hasn't seen the old standbys.
it's because of there's no explaining on how dumb some characters that you defend because the characters don't believe in supernatural or evil,
The old: Look at both signs that said, "Left=Death, Right=Safe, the character goes left instead.
The beginning has a disclaimer that this was footage gotten by the Arkham Police. So the collected footage should be found footage, that makes sense. It tried to be in first 40 minutes but then you wonder “who is filming”? There is one scene where the FF student director goes into the basement and drops his camera. The filming started from angle of fallen camera when suddenly it was following him up the steps and was right next to to him. So who was filming?
The film is about college students working on a film that takes place in a home where witches once lived. Obviously folks still live there since a) no dust or cobwebs, b) clothes in closet and c) furniture looks fairly new. I did like the main character Sophia. She was dedicated and serious. The rest bickered a lot and fought.
It just wasn’t a good FF film. It seemed like the book Necronomican was to blame but the first possession happened before anyone came close to finding the book.
It’s on Tubi. I don’t know why this is labeled as a Found Footage film. Does only a portion need to be filmed as FF to count? I would think it should be all but the credits.
For those of you who haven’t seen, Damien Leone recently made a post about the politics of Terrifier, or in his mind, the lack thereof.
It’s genuinely disappointing to see a rising star in the horror landscape say this now of all times. All art is political and all films are art, and yes that includes the Terrifier series. Setting aside thematic analysis of something like Siena’s character arc or the true crime podcaster in Terrifier 3 (who is pretty clearly not meant to be sympathized with), I think everyone who’s seen the movies would agree that the movies are saying “Art is an evil person.” That’s political. Taking a stance on murder and torture, regardless the fact a silly hobo mime clown is doing it, is political.
I’ll cut to the chase. I don’t think Damien really believes what he’s saying about the Terrifier movies not being political. This is about Damien not wanting to take a political stance because he doesn’t want to alienate anyone, and he’s wrong to do that.
When one of your main stars (David Howard Thornton) is actively advocating for equal rights and another is queer (Lauren LaVera) in a time where your government is actively eroding and erasing the rights of queer people, it’s cowardly and frankly a betrayal to get on your social media account with thousands of followers and not only treat them as radicals for promoting equality and tolerance, but act as if horror isn’t a genre that’s always pushed the boundaries and dared to say important things during politically tumultuous times.
There is one last point I’d like to make about Damien’s statement, and that’s what if we take him at his word. In that case, doesn’t that make a huge portion of the passionate defenders of the Terrifier movies look ridiculous? So many people have argued for so long that the Terrifier movies aren’t just torture porn and that they’re intelligent and engaging and have something to say. Not according to Damien, they’re just no thoughts, head empty, “pure entertainment” to quote him directly.
How does he want anyone to talk about his movies then? What’s the point of analyzing them past “Wowee that was gory!” if he doesn’t have anything to say?
I’m looking for horror movies that mess with your mind rather than slasher/gore flicks. Something along the lines of The Strangers and Funny Games that leave you feeling unsettled after watching them. The most recent movie I can think of with that theme is Heretic but it wasn’t as thrilling as I expected. Others that are not technically horror but have the same kind of mind boggling storyline are Shutter Island and Inception— I’m open to movie suggestions of that sort also. Supernatural horror is acceptable too
So, at the end of Smile 2 we find out that the entity is basically controlling our main character’s perception of reality.
But, when did that all start? Did the entity always have this control or did she lose her control as time went on?
I ask this because, it’s hard to tell what is and isn’t reality and at one point the character Morris presents a plan to save the main character
Was he real?
Or was he just someone the entity made up to give our character a false sense of hope? Like, it’s been said that the entity wears away at you over time, but is that just something the entity wants us to think and it’s in total control since the moment you’re in contact with it. Like, is there an actual way to beat this thing or was it all BS from the start. If she went sooner, would it have helped?
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to see which horror podcasts everyone listens to! My favorites are Pod Mortem, No Bodies podcast, Horror movie weekly and Exploding Heads podcast.
Anyone have recs of podcasts and their best episodes to start listening to?
so they're horror musicals. Most iconicly, it is "Rocky Horror," "but Little Shop Of Horrors" is also very iconic. "Repo The Genetic Oprea" Anna and the Apocalypse" and If You Want to really get Obscured The Short film "Possibly in Michigan" do you think musicals work with horror or does the music take out any sorta horror it could have Personally I love Horror musicals I go to RHPS at least once a year
Hi everyone.
If you’re wanting to watch this movie I’d probably skip this because spoilers.
I’ve wanted to watch Fear 1996 for some time but I was told there is quite a disturbing scene in which the German shepherd gets decapitated. I would really love to watch the movie but that scene might be too much for me right now.
Does anyone know what time in the movie that happens or when to skip forward so I can stay clear of it? Thank you!
I find crime documentaries much more horrific than any movie. That said, I’m looking for recommendations for good visuals.
What is your go to YouTube channel?
I just watched Adam Green’s Frozen (2010) for the first time. The movie focuses on a trio of characters stuck in a ski lift. During one scene, a character jumps off the lift only to break their legs. As soon as they hit the ground, one of the remaining characters on the lift re-engages the safety bar, as if to say, “nope.” The action of the bar coming down happens in the background so I don’t think it was intentionally comedic.
I’ll be having a dream and there’s a horror movie playing in the back ground and it looks so good. So you ask for the title of it. Only to wake up and find it’s not real. My recent one was the prom hell part 2. Idk what it was about but it had the vibe of an 80,s movies with musicals and lots of nudity. Very disappointing when I woke up
I’m looking for something visceral, bloody, mind-bending. Or any combo. I’ve watched everything I feel like (I know I haven’t). To give perspective I’ve watched; the sadness, monster, I spit on your grave, all rob zombie films, all aliens and predators and avps, all but the last film in the conjuring universe, cannibal holocaust, a Serbian film, where the dead go to die, the trip, nobody sleeps in the woods tonight 1&2, terrifier 1&2, silent hill 1&2, all resident evil films, the thing… I could go on. Does anyone have any potential ideas for me?
I watched this movie and left feeling a little bit like disappointed and frustrated at this movie.
Spoiler. IMO The ending sucks. There is no conclusion to the children's storyline. They just hide somewhere. The homeless guy did nothing the entire movie but watch a guy get eaten. Ufo out of nowhere. Main characters all eaten.
Several hours later my mind keeps coming back to it. The whole time they were telling me it would end badly. The joke is on the audience, inviting you to join in the joke. Now, I absolutely love this movie
I'm doing the 7-Day trial of AMC plus, and it comes with these other streaming services. At a glance, there look to be quite a few promising horror films between these. I'm going to check out the movie Red Rooms. But do you horror experts have any other recommendations, for solid horror films on these services?
I just had a random thought. Is found footage films always horror? I feel like 'found' footage implies something bad happened and the footage was lost so I think it's all horror or horror-adjacent. But now I kind of want to see how a non-horror found footage film would work. I don't know how it would work, but I would be interested. I don't watch many movies in other genres though so idk if I would even like it lol (tv shows I watch all sorts of genres but for some reason movies I only watch horror)
edit: I have to disagree with everyone saying Chronicle isn't horror lol it's definitely science fiction too but it feels very much like a horror movie. It was one of my favorites I saw as a kid and I rewatch it every once in awhile
Deep Blue Sea.
Great cast. Great location/sets. Cheesy jokes mixed in with classic scares. It's basically a 90's slasher, but with sharks instead of a dude in a mask. 10/10, easy introduction into the genre.
Hi, I'd like some haunted house films so I'm looking for recommendations on supernatural horror like the Haunting in Connecticut (I know it has some logical explanation but I mean films that don't realy on serial killers), The Changeling, His House, and I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House. What are the best or scariest films about ghosts, spirits or demons inside the house that you've watched?
It could also be eerie films set in a house like Coherence or Vivarium.
I just finished the movie the authentic cut. Btwixt Now and Sunrise. Can anyone explain if there’s some subtext I am missing? Is the movie taken at face value? There’s no resolution? What’s the point of the vampires?
"Tom Savini was most important for me… even though it’s blood and guts and everything… when you are 15 years old in the suburbs of Paris, you cannot compete with Rob Bottin or Rick Baker because they were like Pink Floyd – big bands playing stadiums, but Tom was like The Pixies or whatever, smaller and freer in a way."
I recently watched this movie from 1989 directed by Konstantin Lopushansky and found it really interesting. It's not exactly a horror movie, but I think it has some horrifying elements. I wasn't able to find much discussion of this movie on reddit, but was curious to learn what others think of it.
It tells the post-apocalyptic story of a tourist from 'The City' who wants to visit a museum. Because the ice caps have melted, the museum sits submerged at the bottom of a poisonous ocean. The only way to visit the museum is to wait until a certain time of year when the tides recede and it becomes possible to walk across the ocean floor. The tourist has to stay at a seaside inn until the crossing is safe, and he observes the local society during his visit. In essence, society has been divided into two castes. The wealthier caste pacifies itself with entertainment from the pre-apocalyptic world. The lower caste is comprised of people who have mutations or physical/mental disabilities from the toxic water and atmosphere.
The narrative style of the movie is somewhat abstract, and anyone expecting a conventional plot might not enjoy it. However, the visual style is stark and memorable. There are lots of static shots that depict The Tourist walking through giant fields of trash, derelict industrial sites, dilapidated buildings, etc. These scenes, plus the scenes of the "lower" caste, are absolutely haunting. The only other movie that I can think of that captures the same overall feeling of despair in a completely inhospitable environment is Mad God.
Anyone else familiar with A Visitor to a Museum? Any strong feelings on it one way or another? Anything similar to it? I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their cinematic horizons a bit.
Has anyone else watched it yet? What an absolutely ridiculous movie. I can’t say I wasn’t utterly entertained the entire time lol. I will be thinking about this for a very very long time.
I started a horror movie club over at r/DreadfulCinemaClub and wanted to invite anyone who may be interested to come check us out. we also have a special event for our week 13 movie going on with an AMA with one of the actors from the movie "Cursed"
I did reach out to the mods to ask if I can post this, but did not hear back, ive posted before about this club but if it breaks any rules please remove this post mods
