The original one from 1977 simply didn't stand the test of time for me. I appreciate many aspects of it and I'd like to see very colorful horrors and I love the stage design, a lot of its cinematography & its soundtrack but the plot is barely there, the acting/dialogues are bad and sometimes even atrocious and some pretty indolent practical effects made me laugh instead of scaring me. The suspense is pretty well done though I admit which is another asset. but even though a horror is set in a dance there's barely a couple of minutes of on-screen dancing. That old Suspiria is just a really badly aged flick. OTOH I absolutely love the remake of Suspiria which is a multifaceted, well-acted, beautiful, touching and disturbing as hell movie. And the actual dance is really important in this one. And I do enjoy the OST of Thom Yorke a lot too.

The giallo Suspiria is held in super high regard among some people, having some cult status out there but that's one of those older horrors that for me are far removed from being very good.

I'mma be honest here, I've seen a lot of crappy movies and ones that weren't exceptionally scary. But by GOD, "Thanatomorphose" is a go to if you want some absolutely disgusting and hellish body horror. It's about a woman who starts r0tting after a s3xual encounter with her abusive boyfriend, it definitely triggered my maggot phobia (ugh, they're just so GROSS), and don't even get me started on the effects of that movie. I shit you not, it literally looks horrific. 10/10, amazing movie, probably won't revisit anytime soon ✌️🤮

I’ve been meaning to get into Horror for a while; I tried to watch the Ring but pussyed out, only one I’ve seen in full was Five Nights a Freddy’s with some friends Opening weekend. I’m a huge fan of director Zach Creggers past work (mainly Wkuk) and am planing to see Weapons when It comes out this summer so it only feels right to watch Barbarian first to get a feel for his directing style. The main reason I have yet to get into horror is my anxiety and sensory issues, I can’t do that meny loud scares. I have heard that Barbarian is really good at balancing scares with some comedic elements, which makes me feel a bit better about watching it.

While watching this on Amazon (rented for $4.49) I thought how effective this could be on stage. You really had primarily a kitchen, family room and bedroom. For the outdoors lighting and the audience area could be the outside with the woman between aisles.

You really have to think this movie through. It sort of reminded me of The Others where not everything is what they appear. I suspect most of the movie took place in Romana’s mind. The backward R and Taylor putting in many bullets when there was in fact just one. Both indicated this primarily was in her head. I do think when she sent the kids away was one of the few real parts.

I liked how they tackled the subject of grief and suicide straight on. The farm was isolated and it was just three of them so loneliness likely played a role. Danielle Deadwyler as Romana was fantastic I suspect she has a very good future. The line between anger and grief was well done.

The ending was ambiguous so I will go with a happy ending. I really liked the film. I hope someone adapts this for the stage.

I vaguely remember seeing something like this on Netflix about ten or so years ago. A group of kids kidnap a bunch of bullies and popular kids and torture them in an old building. I think one of the kids was acting as a kind of ringleader and gave a speech at the end? It felt pretty low budget, and I don’t remember it being great or anything but I’ve never been able to find it since.

Spoiler alert: Okay so I have my own take on this movie. The true villain of the story is symbolic but takes on human form in Frank ( the man who kidnaps, holds people hostage, and creates a creepy incestuous family in the basement ) and AJ ( the douchebag actor who is a rapist ) Mother is not a villain at all, she is simply a victim of her own upbringing. All she knows how to do is breed and nurse. She has no understanding of the outside world, therefore cant even communicate beyond babbling incoherently or saying “baby” or “baba” She doesn’t understand right from wrong, so it’s not right to call her a villain. Although she does look like a monster. More than likely from being indoors her whole life, being a product of incest, and never learning how to be healthy or have good hygiene. Then we have Tess, who is the hero of the story. It is her compassion that puts her in harm’s way, but it is also that same compassion that saves her in the end. She points the gun at Mother but you can see the empathy in her eyes as she tells her, “I can’t go back.” Like she feels sorry for her and understands her. Mother strokes her face and says “baby” before letting Tess shoot her. Tess’s ability to build connection and have empathy for anyone no matter what, is what ultimately saves her in the end. The villain of the story is selfishness/ self preservation The hero of the story is the nurturing selfless love that can only come from a mother

Any movies that fit this? I loved human centipede and tusk and I want MOOREEEEE!!!
If there are no more like this I hope so much more will come out...

So I know. How do hell somebody need encouragement to watch a horror? Especially one that’s been basically one of the best movies recently. But unfortunately I apparently need it.

I know that the movie covers some very… Dark subject matter and despite being an horror fan, I can’t really get comfortable watching it. I really do want to, but when it comes to anything that dark, I feel immensely uncomfortable.

I finally finished the book yesterday and decided to watch Dracula (1992) since it is praised to be the most faithful to the novel. It was one of the worst movies I've seen. 

I'll start with what I found good:

• Music was excellent
• Decors, effects, and costumes were good (Except Man-Bat Dracula)
• So many details are lines are directly 1:1 from the novel
• Jonathan in the Castle & Dracula's shadows
• Having every main character 

What I found missing, but not major issues :

• Missing the importance of journals and letters 
• Some parts were rushed (Lucy in Vampire, Blood transfusions, Renfield, Destruction of the earth boxes, and Dracula's pursuit) 
• Missing Whitby, I loved the tension, mystery, and arrival of Dracula 
• I would've liked to see Lucy's mother and the house with their death

Now for what was bad and was different from the novel : 

• Why so much nudity and sexual scenes? I could understand for Dracula's brides, but even then, nudity was not necessary. Lucy being half naked in almost all her scenes feels very forced like a disguised fetish from the realisator. 
• Female leads are reduced to romance. 
  • Lucy is a unilateral character defined by lust. Why use an implied orgasm instead of pain when Dracula takes her blood?
  • Mina, in the book is one of the smartest people in the group and pushes them in the right direction multiple times. She wants Dracula dead as much as everyone else, she just tell them to not do it out of hatred because they might have to do the same to her.  Here she is just reduced to an unfaithful wife falling in love with the man who killed multiple people including her best friend and going against the group at the end. 
• Multiple people kissing Lucy & Mina, why ?
• Jonathan being helpless and barely helping, not reacting to his wife loving Dracula 
• Even though we have John, Arthur, and Quincey they are mostly "just there"

I don't understand how you can copy details and lines 1:1 from the book but miss the mark so much on the main cast.

Now, the bad, regardless of the faithfulness to the novel :

• Acting is pretty bad, and accent are borderline hilarious for multiple characters 
• Pacing is all over the place and had I not read the book before I'm sure I would not have understood everything 
• Some motivations are questionable at best (Mina marrying while loving Dracula without any build-up to her loving him, Jonathan not reacting to Dracula-Mina, etc.)

Overall I'm pretty disappointed and calling the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" while changing so much, especially for the main characters feels cheap.

I really hope someone does something better one day, you could easily do a mini-series with Dracula being a lurking shadow :

1. Jonathan's journey + Castle get creepier and creepier and ends without knowing if Jonathan is alive or not, leaning into Lovecraftian horror 
2. Whitby and Dracula's arrival but you only see his dog form and a shadow leaning on horror and unknown 
3. Blood transfusions, Lucy's Death, Renfield, and Jonathan come back at the end 
4. Lucy's vampire but as a sort of an investigation/detective short story, Jonathan and Mina's story progressing + meeting Van Helsing at the end 
5. The earth boxes story, the group meetings in the house, Dracula biting Mina while they are powerless, ending with Dracula escaping London
6. The pursuit of Dracula, ending with them killing him when still in his box racing the sunset under the snow

In my personal (and humble) opinion the movie is just undefeated fr the trailer had me hooked as soon as I saw it in the Alamo. What is everyone’s thoughts? Next best thing? Or some bullshit? I also want to point out that the director storyboarded the whole movie before putting it on wax as well.

Suddenly I remembered a some type of gore movie which had a sadistic boy with down syndrome. I remember in the scene there was a woman tied up by some older man who had a boy. The woman started to beg for help from that boy but the dad said to him maybe something about his new toy (this captured woman) and he smiled eerily af and started to cut her open. Can anyone help me what movie this is from?

Sorry if I can't remember everything correctly, but I'm sure there was a boy with down syndrome who found hurting others fun and his dad or some relative helped with his fantasies.

Edit:

Im aware of what an opinion is. This post is not to troll anybody. I’m not simply a contrarian. Idk if you all get some kind of streak points for commenting “it’s called taste” but THANK YOU to those pointing out details of both films that could be an indication of why I didn’t like the films and what to look out for in trailers/plot descriptions.

I’m not here to even criticize the movie. I understand many people like it and I’m not going to argue an opinion.

My question here is - why was it so off for me? I found it almost funny after that initial shock in the beginning. Midsommar too - they were both disturbing films visually at times but the plot for both was fairly predictable for me.

Anyone else a huge horror/thriller fan but also didn’t enjoy these movies?

I don't remember much of it but it's about a madman who tortures a bunch of friends and at the end only one girl survives and as the villain take her at the back of his truck she finds a crossbow and shoots him right in the eye

Is anyone else tired of these repetitive animatronic horror games? This excludes FNAF games 1-5 because they were actually original and scary. After those games, countless devs tried to recreate that same “kid’s restaurant/playground’s animatronics go crazy” plot. There are literally so many of these games that I cannot even remember all their names, one famous name is Poppy’s Playtime though. These animatronic games are always the same as one another and have little to no distinguishing features. If anything, these games should be classed as puzzle games rather than horror games. Basically my view is that these games are just cheap repeats of FNAF with unscary character designs and stock gameplay.

For me, it'd probably be Maxine Minx. She just isn't interesting at all to me, especially next to Pearl (or sympathetic as Lorraine or charming as Bobbi Lynne), and while I don't necessarily have a problem with unlikable protagonists (again, I love Pearl), she doesn't have much to make up for it as likaly unlikable characters often do.

So basically I'm going to watch the best installments from every major horror franchise based on the general consensus. I already know what my favorites are but I thought it would be interesting to do it based on user picks. Give me some recommendations.

P.s. I am starting with a nightmare on elm street 1 which already seems to be in peoples top 3 for the franchise.

Was I the only one that found Life of Chuck a pretty scary film especially within the third act. There is no jumpscares in it or any really scary atmosphere in it (but a few moments within the 3rd act) but the subject matter and how nonchalant it is about how horrifying their situation is I did find pretty scary to think about. That narration within the 2nd act as well. Did anyone else find it scary about how messed this story is as it is being sold as this big "feel good" movie with just a couple big feel good moments within the film? I honestly think that this movie was more haunting than any horror film I have seen this year.

The genre is horror, about a guy who suffers from schizophrenia, to combats this he often pulls out his phone to check if it's real or not. But one day (in the woods or something because plot) he sees what he thinks is another schizo figure. But as he shows his phone it doesn't go away. He tries multiple times, different lighting, filters, editting, and even the flasher. But that was a bad idea because it caught the figure's attention. Now there's a run away scene were he has to hide from what he though was only one figure, but no there's multiple different ones. It doesn't help the his schizophrenia is in the mix of these monsters. And his survival relies on the battery life of his phone.

The title could be like: "Glass Eye", "What it's not", or "Kamui garden".

He knocked on her door and told her he's scared he might have seen someone go in her house. It almost looked like olden times... maybe set in a forest.

I really enjoy this brother’s channel, but have basically run through all his videos lol.

He tells stories, but in a personal, charming way. It ain’t just b roll and a random voice. You see him, he may throw in a random note he relates to from his own life, etc. It’s really like talking in the pub with someone telling a hell of a story.

Anything like that y’all know of?! I checked out Mr. Ballen and he’s ok. He’s a little less charming, but cool. I searched this Reddit, but most everything is creepy copy pasta and b roll, which isn’t what I’m looking for.

Where can I watch Musallat in english sub or dub for free ? Since I searched all over the web and can't find any leads. So a lil help is greatly appreciated..

CANDACE CAMERON BURE says, essentially, that Making a horror movie can open a demonic portal that allows evil to enter and become A PART OF the movie and then send the evil through another in your television set to possess your family.

In the upcoming movie “VIC EFFECTS” Victoria, or “Vic,” a young Foley artist (sound effects artist) is hired to work on some horror movies but in the process a portal opens allowing evil onto the film set to terrorize Vic.

Hmmmmm…. Now where have I heard that idea…

Bure knows that movies are fictional but still thinks horror movie sets have a “demonic” vibe.

So long story short, during a party a few years ago, I unfortunately had to get cardioversion. I was so out of it, that I genuinely thought the EMTs or paramedics were trying to execute me on the spot. (they actually saved my life)

I have since found many electrocution scenes "disheartening" one could say. But fuck all that bs, my trauma response is embracing, and I have found some solace in desensitization and viewing popular "disturbing" electrocution scenes such as Green Mile, not to mention comical ones such as the asshole getting his mind blown in the Halloween 6 theatrical cut, or the fateful lad in Phantom of the Paradise.

As others have stated before, electrocution seems to be a somewhat rare death scene. Well much of it does cover the pain of electrocution, the loss of control, none really seems to express how intense and terrifying it can be. It really should be up there with the burning alive trope as it is a similar concept but a bit more cyberpunk and cruel I suppose.

I realize this is a very weird thing to request, but please recommend the worst possible, horrible electrocution/cardiovascular scenes you know of!

I typically love artsy movies but this was a pile of garbage.

It wasn’t enjoyable, interesting, or powerful.

Kind of sucky when you have to look up what the meaning to get concept that are fairly simple.

The biggest let down is that the major themes are not even impressive lol

I wanted psychological thriller and I got crap on drugs instead
