Get Out is his masterpiece. Nope I thought was good for the first half and terrible the rest of the way. US was a fun movie, but the plot holes you could drive a planet through.
I’ve heard When Evil Lurks is the natural heir to The Exorcist, supposed to be fantastic. The newer Evil Dead is fantastic. Super fun and better than the originals I think
Blasphemy. Go wash your keyboard out with soap.
Agree about Nope.
I forgot I actually DID watch Us. It was pretty damn decent even though the “twist” was obvious and uninteresting.
Actually it was Jordan Peele not Dave Chappelle.
Always tries to change the subject after getting his ass handed to him…over and over and over and over again
Just the other day, I watched a remake of “The Thing.” I rather enjoyed it and couldn’t help laughing at unintended comedic parts. The original story was a Sci Fi classic novela by the great John W. Campbell written in 1938. That makes it five years older than bikki228. It’s a great read.
I love classic Sci Fi, especially the short stories that appeared in pulp fiction mags. Today, I just re-read one of my old favorites, one of the most creative stories ever written in its portrayal of an alien society. If you get a chance, read The Moon Moth (1961) by Jack Vance. One of the Top Ten novellas ever written.
Another SF/fantasy writer of note was Robert E. Howard, a really strange dude who invented Conan and Solomon Kane. Howard published expansively in Weird Tales, and for certain he was the apotheosis of weirdness. He lived a very strange life. Nevertheless, Howard still has a huge following worldwide.
just a reminder
In front of children and families…
I’d never heard of this story. I’ll look it up.
I watched Hereditary a few weeks ago. Man that’s a creepy movie. Really good on the subtle scare and not gotcha jump scares. I had to rewind when the lady was climbing across the ceiling. I was like wtf did I just see?!
Yeah, it escalates so slowly and before you know it there’s completely crazy shit happening. I need to watch it again.
My daughter and I used to spend each weekend watching horror movies. We’ve seen all the notable ones.
One weekend we watched a lesser known film called “Creep.”
The ending of that movie still fucks with me until now.
Creep was great. So well done. They made a part 2 that’s worth watching as well.
Watched Exorcist for the first time over Thanksgiving. I know it’s old but that’s a top 10 horror movie of all time.
What should be the next few on my list to watch.
Someone mentioned Trick R Treat. Thoughts on that one?
Decent list I posted above if you want some recs.
Midsommar was made by the same guy as Hereditary, but it’s not as novel a concept. It’s sort of like a modern Wicker Man but a little boring and a little obvious. Still happy I watched it though.
