n0ne 13,105 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'm a movie buff, but horror films are my favorite so I have a lot lol The Conjuring 1 & 2, Silent Hill, Evil Dead (2013), Creep, It Follows, Grave Encounters, The Descent, Drag Me to Hell, Cabin in the Woods, Paranormal Activity series, 30 Days of Night, The Den, Mr. Jones, John Dies at the End, The Hills Have Eyes 1 & 2 (Reboot), The Crazies, Baskin, Extraterrestrial, Final Prayer, The Final Girls, Horns, Oculus, Quarantine, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, Sinister 2, Southbound, Stake Land, The Hallow, The Suffering, The Voices, V/H/S 1 & 2, Zombieland, Hush, They Look Like People. Evidence, Housebound, The Hive, The Mist, and Atrocious. There's probably more I can't remember. Netflix and iTunes are great for finding horror movies. Indie, Arthouse, and Found Footage films tend to be my favorite types of horror films. "My people… need to let our bitchiness out.

It was drab and slow; its dark subject matter make it horror, but ultimately it was far more psychological. I think what the film ultimately says about religion and fear among other things is commendable. But it was such a ****ing tedious watch. I really disagree with it being a legitimate classic but everyone else seems to have jumped on that bandwagon so c'est la vie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0ne 13,105 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 The Witch, The Exorcist, The Babadook, and Sinister were all overrated imo. The Witch has great atmosphere, cinematography, and acting but it dragged and never really satisfied me. Horror movies made before the 90s don't anything for me. Maybe it's because of their effects. I can see The Exorcist was groundbreaking for its time, so maybe if I had been there around the time it came out my opinion would be different. I just found it kinda funny tbh. I'm definitely down for a slow burn or atmospheric horror film, but The Babadook was just boring. It didn't grab my attention and wasn't scary at all really. Maybe it was because I was drunk, but I've seen other horror films while drunk and they still entertained me. Maybe I need to rewatch it sober. Sinister was good but didn't live up to the hype. The acting and atmosphere were pretty great. The story was engaging but was missing a spark. And I was expecting it to be scary but turned out to be just creepy. I actually think Sinister 2 is superior. It improved on scariness and story and furthered the mythology. "My people… need to let our bitchiness out.

I was riveted the entire time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink sushi 4,351 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 The Ring and The Grudge are great. As for more recent films.... I thought 10 Cloverfield Lane was AMAZING. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in the past several years. Although I would count this movie as more of a suspense film than horror. The Boy and It Follows are also worth a watch.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
