Same Never heard of The Wailing or Talk to Me. Actually, movies that came out between 2020 and 2022, some of them didnāt make it to Japan because they didnāt make it to theaters. I missed so much during that time.
Is āTalk to Meā different from other possession movies? What makes it your favorite out of the others?
Towards the end, it rains blood. Thatās what I remember. I think it was the newer one. I think it was 2012 or 2013? Then after that, many years after, another one came out. Maybe thatās Rise.
I havenāt seen the original Evil Dead. Is it quite a bit different from the remake?
@AllyNicole Hi I wanted to ask you in this thread, have you seen all the Conjuring Universe movies? Did you watch the recent sequel to The Nun? I havenāt, but I really want to.
I also want to know what your favorite horror movies are. How about top 5?
That happens in the OGs, Evil Dead 2013 and, in a round about way, Rise xD
Definitely more dated, heavier on the comedy. 2013 was mainly a flop with Evil Dead fans because it isnāt really an Evil Dead movie, it took itself too seriously. A good film, but not really Evil Dead
Ikr? Thatās happened with me for The Nun and Annabelle Comes Home
Uh, yeah! Ok so like- I like psychological horrors but also supernatural ones. The normal ones are good too Ig, like about serial killers or monsters, Iām just not as into them. That being said, I do love The Thing, both versions. And Halloween is a classic. Anything from Stephen King or John Carpenter is guaranteed to be good, although Iām not really into Silver Bullet. I like modern and classic horror movies, each have their highs and lows and I have favorites from each tbh. Anything with Vincent Price is guaranteed to be good, and the modern ones have some great actors too. Most of them anyway. And yeah, I donāt mind the movies with a grp of ppl, although most w/ teens get inappropriate fast and Iām not into that xP
I would call it horror. Sci-fi to me at least, involves more tech or futuristic-type stuff, maybe some aliens but it has to be certain types. Idk, maybe The Thing would fall under sci-fi horror in that case. But zombies in general are horror imo.
Like I said above, I like psychological horror! Iāve been dying to watch Saw and The Purge forever tbh. I love Final Destination, I finally got to see all 5 parts like a year or 2 ago and itās amazing. The fact that Death is really the invisible villain behind everything (not a spoiler, itās literally the premise) is just mind-boggling to me, and it sincerely creeps me out how Death supposedly has this plan for everyone at a certain time and if you cheat it, then it will find you eventually. Someone else wanna fangirl about this series? I made a powerpt about it for a school project that I am dying to show off lmao-
Same actually! Iām actually reading my second real horror book right now for a class, but enjoyable nevertheless (itās Stephen King so XD), called The Outsider and itās pretty good. My first one was Coraline, after liking the movie lol.
Honestly if youāre ever trying to find horrors, but you donāt particularly like slashers or monster horror, thatās what those two genres are called so you can avoid them when youāre not in the mood for those! Iām personally not too fond of monster horror but I adore slashers, the campier and bloodier the better.
Good choices! SAW is really fun imo! Generally speaking I think the consensus is 1/2 lean into a bit more psychology than the rest, 3 kinda marks a pretty stark turn into sheer action/gore imo. I quite liked all of them except for like the first 80% of SAW 7⦠any time I do my annual SAW marathon I get close to turning it off, but I like the end so I have to stick it out T_T
AHHH heck yeah. I think I was like 12 when I watched the third one for the first time and even now I still get the ārollercoasterā song stuck in my head! Which is your fav?
I think possession movies tend to fall into the trap of ābiblically good and evilā ā religion or some virtue will conquer the evil demon or whatever. Iām not religious nor particularly virtuous, and Iāve seen way too much of it that it doesnāt appeal to me anymore.
Talk to Me isnāt concerned with good and evil. The horror acts as an exploration of drug addiction, trauma and bereavement. Itās got all spooky scary thrills of supernatural horror. And at the same time, itās very affecting. It disturbed me in the best ways and I came out of it bittersweet ā sorta depressed but also strangely uplifted.
I would love to see more cosmic/eldritch horror, but that canāt be pulled off correctly by most people. The only movie that did that in a great way for me was The Void.
Or horror movies with monstrous gods from different mythology.
There are only two movies I like where this was done wonderfully in my opinion.
The Ritual and No One Gets Out Alive manages to do this in a fun way for me.
Have you seen The Dreamcatcher? I also like a lot of the movies based on Stephen Kingās books, but personally, The Dreamcatcher was a bit much I also still donāt know why itās called The Dreamcatcher.
lol, me either XD
I saw the first one! I havenāt seen the sequel because it just seemed kind of redundant and nothing new I could be wrong though
Iām finding out in this conversation with you and with others that I seem to like unsettling horror. A good old demonic possession is awesome, but I also like it when the film goes into the uncanny territory. Youāre left with the image or scene and canāt get it out of your head.
And I like Coraline, too!
I would have liked Hereditary (2018) if not for all the plot holes, and the too-complex plot for one movie, and weirdness that made me snicker instead of shudder I wish they had focused on just one thing in that movie.
Oh ok! I only the Conjuring, Nun, and Us from that list, but Iāve never seen Us or anything related. Iāve been wanting to though! It does seem unsettling from the previews XD
No, I donāt remember if Iāve heard of it either! Iāll have to see for myself lol. I do love Carrie, Cujo, Pet Sematary, Stand By Me, It, Catās Eye, and Firestarter is good too. Iām reading The Outsider rn, and itās pretty good, so hopefully the movie will be too.
Huh ok! Yeah I read the summary and Iād have to agree. Maybe itāll still be good though!
Iāve learned that Iām way more scared with supernatural-type horror than I am with like, real-life horror if that makes sense? Like I believe in paranormal stuff, and since the spirit world is technically all around us, itās so much scarier and itās easier to believe that something can happen at any time, vs like a random serial killer or monster coming into your house, yknow? Esp w/ The Conjuring universe bc those events actually happened with Ed and Lorraine Warren irl. And yeah like Iāll jump at jump scares if Iāve never seen the movie or if I havenāt seen it in a while, but for the most part, I donāt get that scared from like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees. Freddy Krueger on the other hand scares the hell out of me bc he can invade your dreams from the afterlife XD on a related note, like Chucky is technically more supernatural since it is the spirit of a killer, but it still doesnāt scare me or creep me out like say Conjuring or Amityville (one word- flies). Also, gory stuff is fine but not like overly done, Iām not looking forward to watching Evil Dead for that reason lol, not bc itāll gross me out but just bc Idk, Iām just not into it. Ig I donāt really see the point in that stuff lol, just like the inappropriate teen romance scenes, I donāt think they add anything lol.
Yeah Iāve seen it a few times, itās pretty good. I mean anything Tim Burton or Henry Selleck are cool tbh. Nightmare Before Christmas, I mean come on XD
Oof ok. Iāve been wanting to watch that one too though. Question- have you seen Malignant, The Uninvited, The Ring, Mama, Lights Out, any Japanese-adjacent horror? (Iāve only seen The Ring and Uninvited when it comes to the Japanese horror but Iāve been wanting to see The Grudge and more for a while tbh). I saw the other ones I mentioned too though, theyāre pretty great. I also like the Insidious series if I forgot to mention it.
A tiny bit veering off-topic since itās technically music, but⦠do you like Ice Nine Kills?
(lol if you know them, thereās correct answer to that question that Iām looking for-)
These are good horror movies. Solid good horror movies. Although Amityvilleā¦I was still screaming in my head at people to not go down to the darn basement
Why do they always go down there with a flashlight that barely lights up anything? XD
I did see this one. And I may or may not have seen The Ring. I donāt remember
I like these, too
Iāve watched Japanese horror Iām fluent in Japanese. So, this one is translated? not sure. Itās one of my favorite Japanese horror movies. They do a really good job of making the horror creep up on you.
Little things, little by little, one by one, deeper and deeper into the horrorā¦
Thereās a lot of mystery involved, too. It comes in layers.
Letās talk about horror films that are the great kind of bad and yet still a nice little enjoyment.
Seriously, thereās this movie called Tremors and that movie is stupid, bad and just great to watch whenever I can.
Thereās like five movies and a series. I only enjoy 1, 2, and maybe 3 yet mostly 1 and 2. Still the gist of the movie is huge man-eating worms that live in the desert town attack people who make noise. They travel underground and gobble up people and animals that make sounds. A small group of people are fighting to survive against the Graboids (what they called them) and unraveling what they are.
The movie gets weirder when the Graboids start walking on land and kill people that way and my god is it stupid and scary fun.
I LOVE this movie and it was my grandfather who enjoyed them too.
