‘Red Dragon’

Don’t know if this counts but this film freaked me the fuck out. If I ever saw Ralph Fiennes in real life I’d squeal like a car alarm while doing jazz hands running away as fast as possible.

There’s the big ones everyone knows like Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Shining which are great. An underrated one from 2009 is “30 Days of Night.” Basically Barrow, Alaska has a month out of the year with no sunlight and during that period vampires attack the town. It’s a lot more bloody and brutal than I was expecting going in

I wasn't crazy about how cartoony they made the vampires look but I guess it's based on a graphic novel so it was exactly what they were going for. I did like that movie though.

That movie rules. Has a good “isolation“ feel to it.

Im not normally bothered by horror movies but the conjuring fucked me up pretty good for a couple weeks

The second half of season 3 in the Hannibal show adapted Red Dragon and they did a magnificent job at it.
As for favourite horror movies, I love the original Evil Dead and Scream. I watch a shit ton of horror so it's rare for me to see something that truly scares me. I'm a very jumpy person so jump scares usually get me but it's rare I actually get scared and something stays with me.

Most recent one that stayed with me for a while is probably Red Rooms but I'm not sure that counts as horror.

The Conjuring 2 had a few parts that creeped me right the fuck out. The guy in the chair and the dog. Goddamn.

A lil peace offering for the Strombolister:

First Halloween is my favorite and has a great lore to it with the shoestring budget and the simplicity.

Scream I always loved because you can’t make it again with the technology now so it’s like frozen in time and captures the 90s perfectly. And rose McGowan is thick as fawwwkk.

Current movie is definitely hereditary. Watched it once and won’t watch it again. The supernatural shit was gay as fuck but the absolute dread of that movie with the whole family dynamic was incredibly heavy.

Man, I did not like those movies. They felt like the MCU version of horror where everything is basically neutered down to find as big of an audience as possible. One scene I really remember liking was the main characters slow-dancing to Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis.

They are exactly that. There's just those two parts in the second one that are effectively creepy.

Halloween is arguably a masterpiece. I didn't care for Hereditary that much but I also watched it when it first hit streaming so I'd been subjected to months of "It's the scariest movie ever made" bullshit which really overhyped it for me.

I must say, I love Matthew Lillard's performance in Scream so much. He makes some insane decisions in how he plays Stu that there is no way came from Wes Craven. He kinds of hit that type of oddness when he played Shaggy in Scooby Doo later but I've always thought it was such a shame after that he only really played "normal" characters.

Look at his performance here, 0:55 onwards.


Scream might be the movie I've rewatched the most.

‘Red Dragon’

Very underrated movie with a great fawkin cast.

 

[Africa.com]

The Shining and it ain't even close pal

 

[Niggerotchi]

Terminator 1, and yes it is a horror movie, cunt.

 

[The Shah of Iran]

Favourite one is Sinister w/ Ethan Hawke and Ziggy from the Wire but if I could recommend a recent one I liked it would be Nefarious.



Sean Patrick Flaherty is possessed by a demon and the ventriloiquist dummy lookin' guy is the therapist that's gotta do the final assessment on whether he's crazy or not. It's looks about 30 years out of date which weirdly enough helps you forget your watching a contemporary movie which makes it easier to go with. The theological aspect of the dialogue is pretty tight. I've only seen one other user talk about this movie and they believe it to be a work of total non-fiction (you'll never guess who it is)

That one didnt do it for me. Wasnt the main ”ghost” just a nice guy who was stuck or some shit

Yeah the first one was the only one I liked. The stupid doll was corny and the nun wasn’t even scary in all the spinoffs

I don't even remember, I just remember being creeped out by the way the guy slowly appears in the chair and then the part where the kid walks up to his dog and then it shapeshifts into the Crooked Man in the creepiest way, which is pretty similar to a nightmare I've had.

The Fourth Kind really fucked with me, and this one scene from Communion really messed with my childhood -

 

[Leonard Rhomberg]

Not a movie but the 6 episode show or whatever on Netflix The Haunting of Hill house I remember being pretty good and creepy
