Man I want to watch some horror movies, but what I like in the genre is severely limited by 1. my fear of seeing a dog die and 2. the sheer abundance of horrible acting.
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
Like I will sit and watch terrible horror movies all day long, but if I can tell the people in them are amateurs who dashed out a script a day before shooting? Can't do it.
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
hmmm, what sort are you looking for? I may have some recs
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
And for some reason a lot of horror movies lately have pet death.
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ : I am a huge sucker for found footage.
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
THAT IS MY WEAKNESS, ALAS
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
I've not seen many found footage films
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
Ahhhh well shit
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
mainly I have an aversion because Cloverfield made me physically ill in theaters
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
I got super carsick and had to keep closing my eyes
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
Cloverfield was kinda shitty imo :-(
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
But like...Trollhunter, The Taking of Deborah Logan, etc
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
those are A MAY ZING
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
I forget, have you seen The Visit?
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
not yet
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
I don't recall there being any animal death in that one
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I wish more people would log into Does the Dog Die? and rate movies
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
because I use that really frequently, and not a lot of movies have been reviewed.
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
yeah, same
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
So other than found footage:
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I don't like torture porn or jump scares
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
Like, The Covenant is about my speed for "horror"
Jaq
Trollhunter was loverly
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I fucking love Trollhunter.
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
what about horror movies that are brutal but not torture porny?
Jaq
Let me think
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
there's one that gets a lot of love called Bedevilled; it's a Korean horror movie
Jaq
Guillermo Del Toro, to my knowledge, has not killed any dogs yet
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I've seen most of GDT's stuff
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
and it's pretty relentlessly grim and brutal, but I don't recall it being particularly gory
Jaq
for found footage, I really like Grave Encounters
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
Jaq
because it gives me what I want out of paranormal investigation shows/movies that I never get
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
Jaq : HMMM I don't think I've seen that one
Jaq
meaning: SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENS
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
like a lot of misfortune is heaped upon a character
Jaq
and its sequel is good too
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
but it's not handled in a gory or torture porny way
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
actually, scratch that, I don't think you'd like Bedevilled
Jaq
it's been a while since I've seen The Visit but I don't remember there being any dog deaths
Jaq
in fact I don't remember there being a dog
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ : Hm. I don't think I've actually seen ANY Korean horror
miles you ass
I've been meaning to watch Doll Master, speaking of Korean horror
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
I haven't seen much, myself (I've been meaning to get more into it), but this one was good-- I'm just not sure where you stand on movies that really brutalize female characters
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
I mean, she ends up fighting back and it's cathartic and tragic
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I'm not sure. I'd probably have to see it
Jaq
but no, I am not big on "endurance test" horror movies
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
Korean horror tends to be very grim
Jaq
and I don't feel like they really count as horror
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ
at least from the ones I've seen and from what I've read from others who're more knowledgeable about it than me
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I'll check it out. I can always stop watching it.
Jaq
when there is no tension or buildup or development and all the filmmaker is doing is heaping more and more horrible shit on you without stopping to let you breathe, it's not horror to me.
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I'm gonna try Grave Encounters right now though because yay
Jaq
I LOVE THAT MOVIE, just watched it on Prime the other day
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
my hard-on for found footage is being satisfied
Jaq
I also really like old style horror. Like The Haunting (which is why I enjoyed Crimson Peak so much), or the Whisperer in Darkness when I want something horror but also vaguely sci-fi flavored
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
Jaq : This movie is ridiculous and I kinda love it
Jaq
it's the best
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
oh hell no I would not go unhook all those cameras alone
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
wtf
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
LISTEN TO SASHA
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
lol nope they're not going to find you in the rusty wheelchair closet
kokoro brokero
I'm so with you on the dog dying. Or a cat. Or . . . about any animal, really, but those especially. No can do.
Jaq
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
well, there's animal death in Grave Encounters
Jaq
oh right. the rat. I forgot until you mentioned it
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
Not as bad as dogs but still ewwwww
Jaq
it goes by so quick I always forget
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
hmmmmmmmm
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I can see why you like this. It's not my speed, but it has a lot of House on Haunted Hill feel to it
Jaq
The ending is the only part I don't like because I don't like bleak endings.
Jaq
But for some reason it didn't stop me from finishing like most others did.
DigitalSocrates
DigitalSocrates
you can screen potential movies with this
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
DigitalSocrates : Yeah I know
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
thank you
ᴇᴠɪᴇ
I was saying earlier i wish more people would contribute to it because most movies I watch haven't been rated.
DigitalSocrates
oh darn
DigitalSocrates
also sorry for not reading through all the way before replying xD
