31 Days of Horror Movies (ongoing thread)

[Harry Powell]

I will be updating this thread daily throughout the month.

My son and I started with No One is Coming to Save You (2023) on the 31st as a little bonus feature.

CG was terrible but understandable for its budget and I didn’t fully grasp the motivations of the aliens in the final act, yet I still enjoyed it overall. I’m sure I’ll have forgotten this movie within a year but I enjoyed passing the time with it.

Anyway on to the movies:

Oct 1 - Halloween (1978)

No commentary needed.

Oct 2 - The Descent 2

Haven’t seen this since release. It was much worse than I remembered. I still enjoyed it but I have low standards. The first one manages to have strong characters with complex relationships and explores trauma and loss. This one is pretty much just a monster movie. Also very enjoyable to see all these British actors pretending to be rural Americans for me at least. I don’t mind the retconning of the 1st movies ending either before someone brings that up, it’s called suspension of disbelief, faggots.

I've been doing the same thing. I'm watching the Exorcist sequels (Only seen the original) before seeing Believer this weekend. Two was bad in quite a fascinating way.

The first Descent is one of the only actually scary horror movies.

Oddly we were talking about this with some guys yesterday. I guess there's a sequel coming out and someone was off to see it. He said the famous jumpscare scene was rated the greatest in horror movie history. No idea if that's true?

Shudder mentioned it in their documentary on the subject.

I didn't even know she was still alive

The Exorcist: Believer. Without knowing the outcome.

The black girl doesn't die.
This old woman sacrifices herself to save the kids. They might even throw in, her fallen down stairs.

I'll get back track with this thread.

I like Gap by Paul O'Callaghan. Very tense throughout and the whole "get into the mind of a serial killer" is so rare to see. Good for repeat viewings.

Thank you. I avoided horror movies for the most part when I was younger. I always seen that per movie you were less likely to find a good movie if it was in that genre. So I skipped them entirely. When I was around 25 I started getting into them, love them now. But I’m behind quite a bit and it’s probably my favorite now.

Yeah that movie kind of rules.

It’s excellent. Showed it to my son earlier this year and it held up. It manages to have “strong female characters” without them being faggot caricatures.

Yeah it came out before all the nigger (woman/Jewish) nonsense, I believe.

Where you at with Rosemary’s baby? It’s a slow burn it’s not actually scary but since my first viewing I’ve rewatched it many times. That horrible kike pedophile can direct very well.

 

[Prince Bvstin]

For the record, the original The Omen was my one of my favourite horror movies and a lot of people seem to have skipped it. Worth watching the whole god awful sequels for great moments like this though

It’s an all-timer but I’ve only watched it once.

That’s all that’s needed really.

Rosemarys Baby is great. Those dream sequences are the closest I've ever seen a film capturing the true flow and feeling of an actual dream. The movie itself isn't scary, but has an unsettling vibe for sure.

While I would put it on the shelf with the horror movies at blockbuster, it’s actually a dark supernatural drama

Yeah it's not really what I would consider horror although it fits the genre.

Hot ones, too. 'cept for the British dyke.
