Can we agree Scarecrows (1988) & Husk (2011) are the 2nd/3rd best Sacrecrow films?
>>214453701> Scarecrows (1988)https://actvid.rs/movie/watch-scarecrows-full-1031Review!> I would avoid trailers as they tend to be spoilery.> Among my favorite horror films. Not top favs but still up there for sure.> Great focus on unnerving tension & mood.> Isolated farm setting is well used.> Damn good score.> Characters despite mostly being criminals are fleshed out well enough with each having their own ticks & bonds with each other. I particularly like Corbin who just seems like the brutal muscle of the group but ends up showing himself to have a lot of honor & compassion.> Ending is a bit mean spirited but it works.
>>214452707Original Halloween.
>>214453641>Friday the 13th Part 3The 3D one? But why!
>>214453312Luckily, it's not
>>214453729I watched this kino as a kid and it gave me the spoops.
>>214452707Trick 'r treat is so comfy around Halloween. The whole atmosphere is comfy Halloween vibe. Having a few little loosey connected storylines instead of one big one is nice too. Fun easy watch.Also Scream is actually pretty comfy if you watch a lot of horror. Lots of fun references. >>214453731>Original Halloween.Good pick too.
>>214452707fright night 1 and 2.
>>214452707Halloween and Trick R Treat for me.
>>214453911I watch Trick r Treat every year, and this year I've got the 4K
>>214453923Good choices. Has anyone else seen the Fright Night 2 remake? It was dtv. I saw it once but don't recall if it was any good.
>>214453729I remember watching it late on TV and knowing nothing about it and being surprised how scary it was. It's a perfect example of a hidden gem
>>214453577Based.
>>214453729It’s a miracle we got this film at all.>William Wesley and producer Winikoff were scheduled to fly from Miami to Los Angeles to edit the film, and had tickets for Delta Air Lines Flight 191, on August 2, 1985; however, they inadvertently drove to the wrong airport, thus missing the flight, which entered a microburst in Dallas and crashed, killing 136 passengers.
>>214454128>1985; however, they inadvertently drove to the wrong airportIs inadvertently a euphemism here?
>>214453923>Fright NightBased>Fright Night 2Might as well say you love Godfather 3 as well. Terrible.
Is this any good? Some of those 90s dtv movies can be really fun (e.g. Subspecies 1-4)
>>214452707Hellraiser
>>214454210No?
>>214452707screams 1-4 or evil dead franchise

>>214454646Sick of these boomers
>>214454751Shut the fuck up and appreciate 80s horror.
>>214454751You wont do shit, zoomer
>>214454861>>214454802Top 3 highest grossing horror films>It >It 2>The Conjuring 4Sit down, boomer
>>214452707The Thing.Besides that one, late 90's, early 2000's schlock action horror like Ghostship, The Cave, Event Horizon, House On The Haunted Hill, The Haunting. Big budget horror movies that was so poorly executed that they're not even slightly scary, but usually have good set pieces or premise that they're entertaining enough in their own right.
>>214454646It's a 'Deez general.
>>214454926More like an 80’s soi fest general
>>214454881Two words: The Exorcist.
>>214454902The ending of The Haunting was hilariously awful. I just remember her retarded looking face, I don't know how she ever gets roles.
>>214454902more like Ghostshit except for the first 5 minutes
>>214454944Hi pisscuck! Shit on any good streets lately?
>>214454960Way too old. The Conjuring 3 already mogged that movie within the first 15 minutes
>>214453701>Scarecrows (1988)Did not care for it. It just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. Husk was ok but kind of meh. Personally I liked picrel from 2017 though I'm sure everyone else will hate it.
>>214454990True
>the first 15 minutes of the worst Conjuring mogs The ExorcistBait so bad I can't even give a (You).
>>214455056The first 15 minutes of the Conjuring 3 did mog the Exorcist though
>he's doubling down now
Boomers coping hard that nothing in the 80’s is high grossing.
I don't usually watch anything from before the 70s but this was creepier than I thought it would be
I saw Die-ced 2: Reloaded and this movie to me is Terrifier 2. Anyone else think this?
>>214455164Like this movie literally was what Terrifier 2 should have been.
>jeet thinks The Exorcist came out in the 80sCanadian education must be brutal nowadays.
>>214455164>>214455177What did they do differently?
>>214455164This movie?
>>214455127bro is really overestimating how much people actually care about the 80s
>>214455345he's just indian; ignore him
>>214455210They kept the serious tone. T2 and T3 went full goofy and shit. All they had to do was keep the atmosphere of the first movie and All Hallows Eve but they wanted to appeal to more people which alienated the original fans of the first 3 movies.
>>214455345Us 40 year olds care

>>214455595I remember this title. I must have rented it as a kid. Maybe that's why I'm so disgusted by chubby chasers.
>>214455829It's natural to be disgusted by fatties and people that like them.
>>214455552I watched that back when it came out and recall enjoying it a lot. I'll check it out again!
>>214455903What about people that like old actresses?

>>214456684need some horror movies about things pretending to be human
horror films where we see the villain suffer at the end
I remember seeing this toy as a kid, before I ever saw the movie, and thinking this is what the Blair Witch looked like in the movie.
Man ive been trying to remember a horror movie for years and i hope you guys can help based on a very shitty description.It had a scene where a guy is tied to 2 trees one of which is pulled down to the ground via a rope and when the rope is cut the tree rips him in half. I watched whatever this was years ago and have no other memory of the movie.

Movies where boomers get btfo?

Wtf, Terrifier 2 is way nore gory then 3.
>>214457560>>214457613Why do boomers have a cuckold culture?
>>214457781Not sure, they were the first ones to get a taste of diversity
>>214457781More like Jewish writers have a cuckold fetish.
>>214457781Erectile dysfunction. Men age like milk.
>>214458065Any ED issue can solved by a much younger girl. Men only have that issue cause they arent attracted to old actresses.
Damn she's cute I'm sure nothing terrible is going to happen
>>214454881>Top 3 highest grossing horror films>The Conjuring 4The movie has only been out for a week and is nowhere near the big leagues yet. The first two Conjurings and the two The Nuns are still ahead and quite a few others in the $400+ million range.

Film Fest anon here. I go to TIFF this weekend to watch JUNK WORLD and Frankenstein.Next month I'll be seeing New Group, Dust Bunny, and Karmadonna (word outta TIFF is it's shit) at Brooklyn Horror Film Fest.Also next month is Sitges. Hoping to catch Obsession (raves from TIFF), Life of Chuck, Exit 8 (good word of mouth from TIFF), The Furious (more TIFF raves), Buffet Infinity, The Home (not the Pete Davidson movie), Decorado, Forbidden City, Deathstalker, and one other screening. might also try to grab a free screening of Death Cycle.
>>214457496I guess I would, but it has a dick....Confused horror bros.
>>214455128I’ve been watching a lot of 60s horror movies lately and I can honestly say now it’s shocking how underrated this decade is for the genre. Everyone always says the 70s and 80s are the best decades and I used to agree with that but now I’m not so sure anymore. The 60s gave us the best of the Roger Corman x Vincent Price collaborations, the only two horrors Hitchcock ever made (unless you count Rebecca) which both stand amongst his best films period and Mario Bava's strongest output including the very first giallo. 1960 alone gave us four genre defining classics that still hold up today:>Psycho>The Birds>Peeping Tom>Repulsion>Rosemary’s Baby>Night of the Living Dead>Kwaidan>Onibaba>Kuroneko>Black Sunday>Black Sabbath>Planet of the Vampires>The Girl Who Knew Too Much>Blood and Black Lace>Hour of the Wolf>Quatermass and the Pit>Eyes Without a Face>Blood Feast>The Devil Rides Out>The Haunting>13 Ghosts>The Innocents>Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?>Seconds>Village of the Damned>House of Usher>The Masque of the Red Death>The Pit and the Pendulum>Witchfinder General>The Last Man on Earth>The Comedy of Terrors>Viy>Spider Baby>Carnival of Souls

I hope the main girl dies in Terrifier 4. It was so satisfying watching her get shot in the Well.
All smilesI had forgotten most of it by now so rewatching it was quite nice. Holds up very well.Onto the sequel which I remember absolutely nothing about but have apparently watched. Then I think I'll watch the rest because why not.Then maybe Quarantine because people say it isn't bad at all. >>214461232Webm it
>>214461248Dunno how to but seeing that bitch not die in T2 and T3 and going all wonder woman was annoying af. Cant wait to see her butchered.
Fuck, stupid bitch doesnt die in this movie too.
>>214461329kek
She becomes some girlboss too. Hate that girlboss look. So fucking glad I am not poor.
The Well is okay. A very generous 7/10.

>>214454944>80’s soi festYou clearly do not grasp what that means, you limp wristed cuck. 80s horror was NOT "soi" and had more T&A than you'll ever get
>>214455127>Boomers coping hard that nothing in the 80’s is high grossing.>ITS ALLL ABOUT DA GROSSSSSS!!!!>DAT MEANS AVATAR AND INDEPENCE DAY ARE DA BESTEST FILMERINOS EVARRRRRRR!!!!Good Lord you zoomers are seriously mentally ill.
>>214457781They don't. Its a forced meme and you fell for it thinking it was real. Oy vey!
>>214458888So, you're just a dung beetle eager to eat more shit that gets slopped on your plate. Whew lad.
>>214463666>666DIGITS!!!I'd say whichever uses mesquite
>>214466404>Drayton literally won the best chili awardIn TEXAS. Doesn't mean he can beat Farmer Vincent!
>>214466140The movie is prime 90s silliness but definitely comfy
>>214467489>Literally unwatchableTruth. Zoomers cannot handle female nudity because they will never pass.
>>214452707the evil deadhalloween
>>214467489Why are you lying? I saw the new Toxie opening night and there were two pairs of boobs flashed at the concert scene (nipples fully visible).Also its not the 80s anymore you can access a porn site on your phone in 5 seconds. Does everything have to be sexual?
>>214468640>just watch porn broShut up zoomie you know it's not the same
>>214461759The Dead Zone
>>214468726I do know its not the same. If you need to get off the porn is way better, but if you're not watching a movie with the intention of getting off then why do you care if there isn't any nudity? (also fwiw I'm 33)
In weapons what was the point in making Archers son a bully and establishing him with military background and having an AR 15 above his house, operator posters in his kids bedroom, his object of possession being dogtags, and saying "soldiering on" when asked how he's doing?I thought the bullying thing would have added something to Alex but it didn't? I think a lot of us can get school shootings vibes (absent parents, abusive aunt, teacher principal cop failing to do their jobs, 17 missing kids, child protective services mentioned a few times, corrupt police, sad memorial, disgruntled and grieving parents ) but Zach Cregger himself said the movie has nothing to do with that. It feels like he's inviting the discussion with such obvious imagery but he's shying away from actually saying something.
>>214468883>Why would the absent and violent father be the one to start his own investigation despite pushback?The kid exists to give the military man a blind plan that consists of only forward. It's the same thing that happens whenever Liam Neeson has a kid- the kid doesn't exist to be a kid character, it exists because Neeson needs a vengeance plotIt adds a little to Alex in that it explains why he'd take the names, but mostly that kid exists so his dad can go harass people into his plan
>>214468883There are a lot of nitpicks like that one you could make. The subtext and themes did not come together into a coherent whole. For example, if the film is supposed to be about the impacts of alcoholism on a child, why portray Alex's family as loving, intact, and without substance abuse issues? The subtext of alcoholism is only present in the Justine and Paul characters in such a way that they do not impact the children in any way.That's how the film ultimately failed. It's entertaining and watchable due to the photography, acting, and sound design, but it is a mystery story. It's supposed to come together.I compare this to another recent film I've been looking forward to: Honey, Don't! While it contained a mystery, at its heart it is a slice of life film about this woman PI who just happened to have a murder mystery fall into her lap. It's more about how Honey navigates her relationships and her day to day life than it is about the mystery. As such, it did not need perfectly coherent themes and tight pacing to pull off its intended purpose.Weapons is not like that. It opens with a heavy sense of dread over what happened and presents us with characters heavily invested in the mystery. It doesn't have a good excuse to meander throughout the middle and introduce a bunch of threads and themes which never get resolved.
>>214469134>subtext and themes did not come together into a coherent wholeIt's about compulsive behaviour
>>214469163I read it more as about neglect, blame-shifting, and failure of communication, but again I didn't find it to come together.
>>214469223I think a lot of people went into it needing it to be about weapons or child abuse, and I think the actual story is more like a fairytale. All of the segments have compulsive self destruction except Alex who is being compelled by the witch slightly less directly witchily than she compels the rest of them, and being the only one whose compulsion isn't self chosen or magic, he's the only one to work out how to use compulsion for goodEverything in the plot isn't just about what happened to the kids, it's also about what all the adults are doing to themselves. The magic being specifically a kind of compulsive zombie hollow you out type of magic has comparisons with the junkie and the people who cannot let the investigation just be a police thing or cannot leave the kid unhugged
>>214469382pretty interesting take. the child narrator is a big thing that not a lot of people mention other than pointing out what she says doesn't make the best sense but maybe it does if it's fairytale. Wonder if Gladys's AOE powers made Gandy start teaching about parasites that day and making the principal turn on a documentary about parasites.
>>214469468If you want to go beyond the movie, Cregger said he wrote it while grieving Trevor Moore, who was pretty open about his OCD mixing with religious beliefs as a kid.if you view Gladys as the OCD demon who moves in and causes horrible things to happen because you didn't listen to them or do the weird thing they wanted, and who you can see controlling everyone else it gets more like a child explaining their view of how bad things happen because of the witch, when the bad things might be real but also not magic. A lot of kid legends are like that, the real events being given improbable causes
>>214469468>>214469540The child narrative is also really cute at points.Like, why soup? It's what a seven year old would come up with
>Tremors>The Hills Have EyesWhat's some other desert horror kinos?
>>214469382That does make sense. I suppose especially after the opening sequence with so many characters mobbing Justine, I wanted some subtext where the parents were in some way complicit with what happened. They were looking for a person to blame when in fact Justine and Archer were the only two characters shown as motivated in any way to solve the mystery or to tend to the traumatized young boy. In Alex's sequence, we saw that he was the only one ever leaving the house and was doing all the grocery shopping. In that we saw neglect, and nobody was ever shown noticing this, but I didn't see that connect to anything.I suppose I'm proving your point that I'm trying to read into it something that isn't there. You're right that each POV character displays some compulsive self-destruction, but in the case of Paul and James, their afflictions did not meaningfully or causally connect to the film's central conflict. They were just kind of there and ended up intersecting with the plot as a matter of coincidence. It felt like a bunch of empty space that could have been used to weave it together more coherently.I think the James character could have been omitted entirely. I think it would have worked better if instead we had gotten a small team of burglars who noticed that Alex was the only one who ever left his house and ended up casing it. It would have shown us more that when people don't pay attention to their kids, it opens them up to exploitation.Then I didn't buy at all that James was able to break into that house, steal their nintendo and spoons and just walk out. Gladys would have got his ass. I didn't need extended lore, but there was too much that didn't make good sense to me. Just didn't feel coherent. I'll have to watch it again.
>>214469584James also stole a little kid's ipad and was excited to see a DVD of willow lmao
>>214469584It's something easy enough for a child to prepare and feed to their 21 captives since Gladys was too lazy to do anything
>>214469584>>214469660>and the principal and his twink ate like 7 hotdogs and fruity pebbles
Friday the 13th movies are showing on PlutoTV

It's that time of year again where I have 30 days of /Hor/. What should I add to my list this time? I always start with Scream.
>>214457210wtf am I looking at
>>214469838The Blair Witch by Todd McFarlane
>>214469853>>214469838>>214457210There is an alternative design too
>>214469607I like James. He's a nonstop demon show, compulsively doing everything constantly. I love he's polite and apologetic every time too while also >>214469660 doing that shit.One thing I really liked is the total divide between the professional and at home principal, where his body is the only thing that tells you he'd eat like a seven year old left alone, and his professional life has nothing that tells you he'd have someone who'd let that camp lady in and indulge her with the bowlI really like it but I went in with a really different mindsetThe parents in the background looking for someone to blame when they also didn't see Alex doing that in the weeks leading up is telling too. Like I don't think that dad thinks his kid is a bully but you could tell from the dad that his kid would be the kind of kid who would bully people.
>>214465274I have an indian coworker and how he explained it to me is it’s like a horse situation but instead of solid pellets it’s more of a curry type consistency

>>214469886I really enjoyed the James character too. I've known guys like that, and the way he was portrayed was superb, very realistic. I just didn't find him to contribute much to the narrative.You've got some interesting thoughts on it, and I'll bear them in mind on my next viewing.
>>214468477>ahhhhh noooo don’t put your sexy boobies on me!!my halloweiner is so spooked right now.
