Horror films superthread

[Sean Mooney 2,042]

I don't necessarily have go to's for horror movies because I watch them all year long. I do always watch Halloween and as many of the sequels as pop up on TV this month.

The dumbest movie I always watch this time of year is Ghost Ship. Movie has an amazing first scene and is complete junk the rest of the way.

I usually try to dig up more hidden gems or find things I may have passed over on an initial viewing.

Anyone ever seen Black Phone? The previews for part 2 look pretty good. But I've never saw the first one. Is it worth it?

I really liked Black Phone.  It was very different.

Last night I watched Weapons.  Not really a "horror" movie but it was very creepy.  I really enjoyed it.

Weapons is really good. Zach Cregger has a good sense of what he wants to do as a director and he employs it extremely well.

The movie is creepy and atmospheric but also very funny at times.

Did you watch Barbarian?

Yup. I think I like Weapons better but Barbarian is very solid as well.

I'm actually extremely curious what he will do with his reboot of the Resident Evil franchise

LOVED Black Phone. Can't wait to see the second one. Also enjoyed Barbarian, didn't expect that one to turn out how it did either. 

 

I've never seen the V/H/S movies, but I thought there were a few of them?

Kind of meh overall. VHS 2 was the best of the bunch from what I’ve seen.

There are quite a few of them.

V/H/S- a little all over the place but a solid first entry

V/H/S 2- a little disjointed but has the greatest segment in the entire franchise

V/H/S Viral- mostly sucks and almost killed the franchise completely. There is a fun story or two but it is really all over the place tone wise

V/H/S 94- legitimately terrifying at times and saved the franchise so it has become a yearly Shudder event

V/H/S 99- Two really awesome segments and very campy in tone.

V/H/S 85- probably the most well made of all of them but certainly not the best

V/H/S Beyond- science fiction horror stuff. It's got some fun moments in the stories but overall is kind of there. The skydiving alien attack is great

Just remember it is like every other horror anthology movie- uneven at times

I noticed that the Creepshow series is available on Prime.  Worth watching?

I watched the first 2 episodes and wasn't feeling it.  Thanks for letting me know that I won't miss anything by skipping the rest.

Season 2 was even worse btw.

del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix was really good. Watch that instead.

There are like 3-4 great segments....some good ones....and a lot of just there or bad ones.

I'd seek out Public Television of the Dead, night of the Living Late Show, Smoething Burrowed, Something Blue, Baby Teeth, and parent Deathtrap

Won't be released until November 14, but I can't wait for the second season of "The Creep Tapes"..
