Not a huge fan of the torture type horror, like I don't care for the Saw movies or the Spit on Your Grave series, those just creep me out. Big fan of the Conjuring universe, Insidious movies - although the newest one The Red Door was meh. I like some Stephen King stuff, but the ones that have the underlying stories or messages like Gerald's Game, or 1922. Old school King is awesome; Thinner, Christine...I watch those every October along with the Halloween movies. Not a big Jason/Freddie fan for some reason. Loved The Black Phone. Also love the Babadook. There are a ton more, but given the chance for a chick flick, action, or horror...I'll chose horror almost every time. I'm just the opposite, but worse. I'll watch Conjuring etc., but, I love Saw type and I can recite the story completely through all 12 Friday the 13th movies. I cant figure out why somebody doesnt jump on the 13th Friday the 13th.

Was pretty good, had some dark things going on. Adding Babadook to the list although I'm not sure I'll like it as much as Witch based on the trailer. If you got anymore suggestions I'd love them.

Yes, that's what it's called...I forgot the actual genre. But I just cannot. Even the Saw movies get to me occasionally, but it's mostly the torture pron/r@pe. I don't even like it in books. We watched the Terrifier movies a few weeks ago, and there's a scene where he does a bit of this and I had to get up and multitask for a few minutes until it was over. Otherwise, those movies weren't too bad. Quote
GutterBoy Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 Also, a Friday the 13th falls in October this year. I will be here: https://crystallaketours.com/ for a tour of the filming location of the original. Quote

I do want to watch the new one. Maybe in October we'll do the 31 nights like we used to do back in the day, that was fun. 1 Quote

BuckSwope Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 I still cringe at the "torture porn" label. A lot of great movies get tossed in the pile because they show extreme stuff, IMO. To me the bad ones are the Hostel/Saw type movies. BUT, I also think those are just the natural extension of another subgenre that notoriously has bad movies - the slashers. Let's be real - the reason most people watch slashers is because they want to see people offed in all sorts of ways. Showing some t1ts is a bonus, of course. Those movies are just extreme versions of that - watching people get killed slower and blurring in some sex. I guess where I am going is that I see things like Martyrs and the like thrown in that bucket, and I don't view those types of movies the same way. That said, I still also enjoy a couple saw movies and Hostel for what they are. They are nowhere near as hard to get through as something like Martyrs, and are mostly just laughably dumb movies.

BuckSwope Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 All the worst stuff is from overseas. We don't seem to have the stomach for much beyond Saw here, whether it is profits, ratings board, whatever. Quote

I get why it gets put in there with Saw and others - there is torture and there is extreme violence. After that, I still think Martyrs is incredibly well made and is wrestling with some interesting ideas. Saw is dumb poorly acted crap for the most part. Quote

MDC Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 12 minutes ago, BuckSwope said: 100%. Don't take the warnings lightly on that one. I have a DVD copy of a movie called Tumbling Doll of Flesh somewhere in my basement. Years ago I popped it on and turned it off after 10 minutes. Nothing had happened in that time but it was already so gross I knew I couldn’t sit through it. I meant to send it to gocolts one day but then Gary died. At least I sent him my copy of A Serbian Film. RIP Gary Quote
Wade Garrett Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 I dig horror movies and don't mind regular gore, but anyone who enjoys torture porn, explicit rape, etc is phuked in the head. Not shocking that it's mainly cultist who need that extreme violence for their entertainment. Quote
posty Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 Since the family is out of town, last night watched, "The Farm", "Hunter Hunter", "Martyrs" (French and American remake version), and "Funny Games" (original)... The American version of Martyrs is terrible... The US version was changed from the original, which I thought was incredible... The acting by the woman that played Anna was top notch IMO... As for Funny Games, I had seen the American version of it a while ago (which is a shot-for-shot remake), but I wanted to watch the original... I liked that foreign version better... The Farm and Hunter Hunter was also very good and solid... Now I need to come up with some others for tonight... @BuckSwope @MDC: I know you said it was brutal and I am assuming you meant what Anna went through, but that didn't bother me... I could see how, since it was drawn out longer than it probably needed to be and that is probably why the US version was switched up because of it... Quote
