It’s horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.
What is your top pick for whatever genre?
picking a favourite is hard, but In The Tall Grass (2019) is definitely up there, and i never see anyone talk about it. also, Malignant (2021). definitely try to go in blind for that one if you can.
Event Horizon
Society
I also recommend It Follows. It is so different. And the characters don’t act dumb. And everything makes sense in the context. Like why they dont get a car or catch a plane, because they are broke teenagers.
“The shutter” the original asian one. I remember watching it when it came out and loved it. ETA and the original Halloween of course but I also liked Rob Zombie’s versión of it.
Sinister - the home movies and music are so creepy.
The shining. I watch it every year at the first snow. I’m afraid I won’t get that chance this year.
The Blair Witch Project. Terrifying.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 Alien Paranormal Activity (first one) V/H/S Train to Busan Children of the corn Frozen (about three skiers - not sure if this counts) Saw Orphan
GYO Tokyo Fish Attack. Body horror is a great genre that doesn’t come around very often without looking kind of cheesy so it helps being animation.
The Fly is another great example of the genre. Such an excellent movie with a sad ending to top it off.
If you like body horror, go watch The Substance. That movie brought back memories of when body horror used to be good (Videodrome, Scanners, Toxic Avenger, etc)
Try this one.
“Altered States.”
A Harvard neuroscientist is experimenting with sensory deprivation and other hallucinogens.
Haven’t yall seen The Conjuring II, The Nun, or am I an idiot to call these horror 😒
That nun is something else. Goosebumps every time! And I’ve rewatched it dozens of times
i’m always surprised that most people rank the nun as the worst in the conjuring franchise. i think it’s probably my favorite. conjuring 2 is phenomenal too. and they’re definitely horror.
The Thing (1982) has basically consistently been my favorite horror movie
Signs (2002) is my favorite horror movie to watch during spooky season. While it was mocked so perfectly in Scary Movie 3, I feel like the atmosphere it creates is still so unnerving. The humor in the movie adds an element of B movie campiness to an otherwise serious movie.
Cabin in the Woods (2011) disassembles the horror tropes in a hilarious way. Inspired by the Evil Dead movies.
After I saw Signs the first time, I started carrying a steel mop handle around my apartment and next to my bed at night.
Aliens really get to me from when I watched X-files as a kid, and this movie did it nicely.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010) and The Cabin in the Woods (2012) (go in spoiler-free with this one) are both good comedy horror.
I was not prepared for how good Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is!
