Anybody got any good horror movie recommendations?
arwingyoshi
no straight up torture porn
vegan gloryhole
i liked It Follows but i recognize that as a character flaw
arwingyoshi
frickincheng: I like asian horror
arwingyoshi
rathaway: I have actually seen It Follows
vegan gloryhole
i've been dragged twice in the last month for liking It Follows as much as i do
arwingyoshi
it's not a perfect film, but it had its creepy moments
vegan gloryhole
i like the metaphor of It and the curse being like... how people sometimes use love and sex to keep the fear of death at bay
vegan gloryhole
moreso than any of the actual creepy stuff
vegan gloryhole
also how the whole movie feels like it's happening in like a weird pocket dimension that's sort of surreal and dreamlike and removed from time
arwingyoshi
well, it is kind of reminiscent of those nightmares where something is after you
arwingyoshi
though first time I watched, it during the opening scene I was like "heels are not good running away shoes!"
Bing Bong
I love "Disturbia" with Shia LeBoeuf. It's not, like, stereotypical "horror film" I don't think, but what gets me is how very real it is/could be
arwingyoshi
noted
arwingyoshi
I might have seen parts of it on tv
Bing Bong
if you like psychological thriller, I liked "Circle" (2015)
Bing Bong
twist ending was good
arwingyoshi
psychological horror is good
arwingyoshi
the only horror I don't really like is the kind heavy on jump scares or stuff that's just a nonstop gore fest, because that's not scary or fun
arwingyoshi
and jump scares are good when used sparingly
mulberry
Sauna!!!!! It's this lovely creepy scandinavian historical piece
mulberry
my hands down favorite horror movie
mulberry
flawless as a historical and stunning horror
mulberry
the Whispering Corridors series from korea is one of the best. The first is now a bit hard to watch because it's so cliche but the thing is that it's the movie that all those cliches came from. It really defined the current asian horror phenomenon
mulberry
A Tale of Two Sisters is wonderfully twisty and psychological and also just FUCKING TERRIFYING, also Korean, also beautiful
arwingyoshi
marlowe_tops: I've heard of Sauna, but never actually sat down to watch it
mulberry
Just recently watched The Ritual on Netflix which was actually fantastic?? Way better than I expected, thoroughly enjoyed it.
mulberry
House on Haunted Hill is my favorite classic horror even though some of the scares I laughed my way through bc they didn't necessarily age well
arwingyoshi
I've seen the original version of that movie with Vincent Price
mulberry
YES THAT ONE
mulberry
YES
arwingyoshi
love Vincent Price
arwingyoshi
classic horror is amazing
mulberry
I always love The Others, I'm a total sucker for that kind of gothic horror and I love nicole kidman
arwingyoshi
that's a creepy movie
mulberry
The Grudge is good, though that movie FUCKED ME UP
arwingyoshi
original or remake?
mulberry
I watch a lot of asian horror, but that one I've only seen the american version. I'm too scared to watch the original.
mulberry
like, my list of things that I was scared of after watching that movie is ridiculous:
arwingyoshi
[nod]
mulberry
bus windows, stairwells, hallways, bathtubs, showers, asian women, long dark hair, televisions on static, televisions turned off, comforters (like the kind on my bed), the upper corners of rooms
mulberry
I could not sleep for MONTHS
arwingyoshi
I was scared of the closet after watching The Babadook
mulberry
babadook was great
arwingyoshi
I liked Sinister too
arwingyoshi
8mm has never been so terrifying
arwingyoshi
never move into a murder house, everybody
Spooky Shadow
Hush is a good one and I heard The Train to Busan is good too.
Spider
heh, I think I've already recommended everything I've seen to you before
Spider
for those I haven't rambled to before, but my favorite is The Collector. It's more of a slasher than straight horror, and there's gore, and it looks like it could become a torture porn movie but never does.
Spider
It's just a twist on the home invasion subgenre that has this great dreamlike quality to most of it, all the characters make intelligent decisions based on what they know, the lead is great at making you feel for them and the killer is played really dang well too.
Spider
Also has anyone seen Pontypool because I've heard good things about that
arwingyoshi
Spooky Shadow
: Hush was good
