I haven't watched new horror movies for years cause I find them all tacky but people say it is good and I want to give a try  It's good if you're a casual horror fan who only watches major studio horror films.

I dont think it was particularly scary, and it didn't rely on cheap jump scares like a lot of modern horror films. But the premise was truly creepy. Thanks for the reminder. I thought Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 were amazing. The anticipation of this monster that you rarely saw but you could see and hear the damage it created was truly fearful. Mars..........or bust!

n0ne 13,105 Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 I'd also like to get peoples' opinion on what makes something horror vs thriller. I think slasher is a subgenre that could fall under both thriller or horror depending on the source. And in some cases I believe horror thriller can be used as a genre. But I think many thrillers are mislabeled as horror; especially if they're a slasher or really gory. For example, Saw isn't horror imo, it's a slasher/torture thriller.

For example, Saw isn't horror imo, it's a slasher/torture thriller.  I agree, I think horror almost implicates or is more drawn to anything that is supernatural or unknown. The antagonist is usually mystic like a demon, Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, Micheal Myers etc. Whereas thrillers generally focus more on having a relatable 'realistic' scenario, more often psychologically driven. That's not to say there isn't a sub-genre of horror-thriller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it's one of the best new Horror movies, in recent times.   It's good, the visual style, acting, and atmosphere are highlights; the plot not so much imo. Good for 1 viewing, but not something I highly recommend. 11 minutes ago, SILENT HILL said: Well I think y'all can guess what horror video game I recommend Actually never really played the games, but loved the movie.  5 minutes ago, ChristianDior said: Does anyone else hate's The Cabin In The Woods as well?

SILENT HILL 1,629 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I feel like this is an unpopular opinion but I almost never like the horror movies that are recorded (paranormal activities etc.) I don't understand why people love them so much. Like sometimes some creepy images can come out and it might make it seem more realistic, but other than that I feel the bad quality recording ruins the movie :p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own: Dead Space (but never have played past chapt. 9) Bioshock (1 of my favs) The Last of Us (another fav) Left 4 Dead Oxenfree (great and original little indie game) I've played a few others like the evil within but never finished it. There are plenty of other horror games, I want. 5 minutes ago, SILENT HILL said: I feel like this is an unpopular opinion but I almost never like the horror movies that are recorded (paranormal activities etc.) I don't understand why people love them so much.

It's mainly because of realism they exude with the home style camera and ordinary characters. Plus they tend to be more mysterious; they make it harder to see what's there and what's coming. They make it almost as if the viewer is experiencing the horror. Plus many found footage films are in HD, so they look realistic and pretty at the same time.

Karl 2,806 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 If you're into indie horror films I HIGHLY recommend It Follows, The Babadook, The Witch, and the newly released Neon Demon, which is a kind of horror film, in that it finds horror in the superficiality of LA and the modelling industry. It's actually a pretty disturbing film. In terms of Hollywood big studio releases The Conjuring 1 and 2 are definitely modern classics, as well as Insidious. Anything James Wan is hard to dislike I think. Also The House of the Devil is one of the best throwbacks ton 70's and 80's horror films it's another favourite of mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
