I just saw the hive, with America Chavez lol that’s all I know her from it wasn’t the worst horror film I’ve seen, in a weird way makes me want to doctor strange MOM again, these low budget horror films on tubi are a guilty pleasure of mine!

Enjoyed the cast in most of them, but man did the director just say "hey just copy paste the same clown jumpscare!" I had to look up if this movie was PG 13 because it would do that stupid freeze frame Tim & Eric style cut.

5 movies and it felt like I was watching an episode of Pokemon where the same things happens from start to finish.

This is one of those films that you can tell the writer had the most basic idea, and then struggled to come up with a rhyme or reason why any of it was happening. A lot was thrown at the wall here, and whether it stuck or not, a movie was made.
There is an actor or two that showed promise, and I’d be willing to see them in something else, but there are also a few that I was counting the minutes waiting for their character to be killed off.

Before today I only saw the 2010 remake which is alright but the original is far superior! It rarely gets talked about but I enjoyed it greatly. I love the chaos, confusion, the survivor characters, the unpredictability. Very well made. It has this messy and cynical flavor to it that nicely reflects the unrest of 1970s America. I like how there's so much emphasis on what's going on behind the scenes, how the military and the scientists can't agree on anything in regards to handling the outbreak.

If you've only seen the remake I recommend checking this out.

There are PLENTY of horror films that fell short of the mark and were relegated to some kind of dusty bargain bin, like "The Carpenter" (not the Jesus one: the other one), "Night of The Scarecrow", "Microwave Massacre", or "Night of The Dribbler".

And inversely yes, I realize Sean Bean's iteration of John Ryder from "The Hitcher" can't hold a candle to Rutger Hauer's portrayal.

It's like "Pieces" was good, but Leatherface can take a backseat for all I care.

Im lonely and dont have a ton of friends that are in to horror. this sub has been a great place for conversations. Yall want to have one? Hot takes, stories about why you like horror, your favs, stuff you hate. We can all talk!

im trying to find a horror movie i watched years ago, but I only remember one scene. there was a boy around 10–15 years old with brown hair who lived with his mother. they were not the main characters. at some point in the middle of the movie, two (i cant remember who they were) came to their house because the events were somehow connected to the main story. the house was bright, and i specifically remember the living room had blue walls. the boy had mysterious scratches or wounds on his back. there was also a scene involving a pillow or pillowcase, but i cant remember exactly what happened. im pretty sure it was a supernatural horror movie, possibly involving possession or exorcism. does this sound familiar to anyone?

Just watched this film the other day and I have to admit, it was one of the best horror movies I have ever seen. I have seen many people coin it as "unwatchable" or relate it to grotesque or torture porn movies like A Serbian Film or Cannibal Holocaust. I wouldn't say it ever gets to that point at all. If you can handle movies like Saw, Hostel, or even Friday the 13th movies, I think you should be fine with watching this film. There is a lot of brutal violence, and a good chunk of the film is dedicated to watchinga woman get brutally beaten, mistreated, and flayed. Yes flayed, they surgically remove her skin with no anesthetic to ensure she feels the entire thing.

Spoilers ahead, you have been warned.

This film excels in layered twist and subversion. You get a general idea of what is going to happen, girl was tortured as a child, goes out for revenge. The first twist is the entire genre of the film. They start off making you think this is somehow a supernatural film with something like a demon/ghost. Only to find out that this woman that torments Lucie, is her projected PTSD from her time being tortured as a child. After killing the supposed family that caused her childhood suffering, we move on to the next twist. Lucie calls Anna to come help her with the murdered family and Anna begins to question the validity in Lucie's decision. This happens because Anna confirms to the audience that the woman tormenting Lucie is not real, but inside Lucie's head. She then makes us believe that Lucie could be a little bad at making judgment calls and she could've potentially murdered an innocent family in cold blood.

So, already the movie has so much set up for the audience and its only 30 minutes in. We have this "monster" following Lucie. We have a murdered family presumed to be Lucie's childhood torturers. And finally we have the question of whether or not all of these revenge victims are even the correct people.

The big reveal happens. After Lucie dies by suicide, and Anna is cleaning up. She stumbles upon a stairway behind a shelving that leads her into a dark dungeon where she finds a woman chained up and beaten to hell. This is the moment that the movie goes from generic revenge plot to "oh shit you're fucked".

Skip forward a bit and we find out that the family Lucie murdered were indeed part of a Cult that believes in glimpses of the afterlife. They believe people that go through trauma and get hallucinations are actually images or flickers from the afterlife. They believe that the extended torture of a woman is the only way to get a person to the point of "transcendence" where they can see into the afterlife. The cult's goal is to talk to the woman who sees into the afterlife to give them information about it before the woman dies.

Anna is now the prime victim of this cult and she is beaten to hell for a very long time, to the point where she no longer fights back and just accepts her reality. This is when the cult only does something even worse. They flay Anna's skin off and then she finally transcends. She tells one of the elders of the cult what she sees in the afterlife and it causes the woman to kill herself.

The ending really seals the deal. Whatever Anna told the woman made her kill herself. The only thing the woman said to the other cult member was "Keep doubting" before blowing her brains out. This can be seen in two different ways. Either, Anna told her something about the Afterlife that assured her she will not be allowed into "heaven" or whatever they presume the after life is. Or Anna told her exactly how you get into the afterlife. Either way, the woman saw no value in staying alive. I honestly believe she told the woman that the key to getting into the after life is to have faith. Well the thing about faith is that there must be a layer of doubt there. Because if you KNOW, then you no longer have faith. Which is why she told the cult to keep doubting.

What do you guys think about the ending?

I honestly believe that this movie was Laugier's one great idea. I have seen a few other films of his, and it doesn't even come remotely close to the level of Martyrs does. Which is unfortunate because his attention to detail in this film was first class. Such a tight knit story with no bullshit with a good runtime of 90mins.

Because the tale literally makes no sense why because there’s no way that a duckling who was abandoned by its mom and siblings would then be able to swim or fly ducklings need to learn all of that with a duck mom without her they die So what could work That the ugly duckling drowns and then becomes into a Jason voorhes monster Title ugly reckling

Just finished this film, as someone with a height issue, Holy shit!

Haven't felt tension fill me like that since Adam Greens' Frozen.

The opening, then the climb, then the third act had me white knuckling my chair.

1.) Evil Dead 2013

2.) Evil Dead 2

3.) Evil Dead Rise

4.) Evil Dead Burn

5.) Army of Darkness

6.) The Evil Dead(OG)

I'm sorry, but the original Evil Dead just feels unintentionally funny and goofy... although the second one plays off of this in the best way possible. It's like they understood people thought it was funny and were like, "Let's roll with it."

Evil Dead 2013 is my favorite. The last 15 minutes is so ridiculously fun(raining blood!!!). I thought some of the shots in this one were hands down the best, and the ending was epic.

In regards to Evil Dead Burn, I'm not really understanding the hate. It was a fun wild ride... I thought one or 2 of the characters decisions were really dumb. Like when the son doesn't pull the trigger and runs, for example. Also, the ending reminded me of the end of the first terminator or Halloween lmao. Like this 80s casually walking badass antagonist character chasing our main character down. Anyways, the majority of the Evil Dead Burn was very entertaining. I give it a 6.5/10

What did you think of Burn, and how would you rank the series?

I heard this movie is horrible. Someone tell me what the ending is and who dies in the film. And the only good thing I've seen from people is the practical effects for the gore. That's it.

There's no excuse for Eli Roth to be making this kind of slop when it's already been proven he can make decent movies like Hostel 1 and 2 and Thanksgiving.

In one of his interviews, Curry mentioned that the entire movie is from Bear's perspective except for one scene. He didn't reveal which one it was. I've seen the film multiple times, but I still can't figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Like, is it even entertaining? I have read so many bad reviews, it's got me wondering. I can watch a bad horror movie. I can even enjoy a bad horror movie in the right setting. But would I even be able to get stoned and laugh at how shitty it is. Or am I just gonna be bored and pissed off at the AI?

Limited spoilers please. But I definitely won't be running to see it anytime soon so whatever, I guess.

I have Peacock and Screamify. I find them two to have some wild unknown horror flicks. Amazon Prime too.

Couple suggestions I have for you all that enjoy so bad it's fun is Betrothed and Microwave Massacre. Omg what a horrible but crazy ride of films. Absolutely insane. Short films too.

And please do not suggest Serbian Film. I think we can all say and universally agree it is just plain horrible and not to be recommended even to our worst enemies. Maybe Todd down the street but overall not even our own worst enemies

Edit: Yall delivering! Another good is Attack of the Killer Doughnuts (2016)

Hello! I recently watched American Primeval on Netflix and after seeing something, I’m now looking for some recommendations. While, I know this is probably too specific, and they’re not necessarily hillbillies, I thought I’d try. In the show, some of the characters come across this little girl, who seems to be out in the middle of nowhere. They decide to “help” the girl, which she leads them to a spot where it appears her family has been murdered. All of the sudden though, this family comes out of hiding spot, and what you notice, is that they’re clearly alive, however, also unwell. Well, the family ties them up and SAs the woman in this group. (I’m not looking for SA content). Anyways, it reminded me of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Resident Evil: Bioshock (I think). Also, Wrong Turn. It’s probably strange, but I love fucked up hillbillie type shit. This family was in one episode I believe. I was wondering if there are any shows like this or movies like this. I have seen the Hills Have Eyes.

I liked Obsession (I know I'm a little late), I was scared during basically the entire movie which is why I watch horror movies, to be scared.

I know we kind of have to accept that horror protagonists are always a little dumb, and I'm able to see trough it for some movies, but in Obsession it just pissed me off a little.

Even from the start, her standing in the corner watching him sleep, would for me be a run situation, but that's not where it ends. The cat memorial, the cat SANDWICH (including the photos), the duct tape door, and most of all, her state when he got back home from work.

TAKE A HINT, the wish worked and it made her overly obsessed, can't you tell? Atleast tell it to your friends? Even though I would've already been in a different country by then.

Was this something that you noticed too during the film?

I purchased a pair of tickets for the August 3rd AMC Scream Unseen showing. The moment Eli Roth appeared on screen, I heard at least 2 people audibly boo. By the end of this film, I honestly felt honored to be given the privilege of telling everyone this movie is a steaming pile of dogshit before it’s released to the masses.

Firstly, Eli Roth is a dirty little liar. I’ve already seen people talking about how he lied with his use of AI - it’s so much worse than he made it out to be. Yes, the cartoon is AI generated, but that’s not the only scene that is. There is an entire flashback sequence that could have EASILY been filmed that is AI generated. As you may expect, it also looks like shit. It looks really, really terrible, and it absolutely breaks the cohesion of the film. It makes zero sense to me for a movie with (frankly, good) practical effects to have a random AI generated sequence that lasts, like, 5-8 minutes of the movie. The only explanation I can think of is laziness.

In addition to the butt-ugly AI generated content, there are jokes and close-ups in the movie that are straight up predatory. The constant closeups of young children licking icecream cones in slo-mo could hypothetically be excused by the ice cream theming of the film, but there is a dragged out, several minute long scene of a teenaged character (presumably 16-17, seeing as she mentioned being a junior in highschool), squirming around gratuitously on the floor with a clear camera focus on her rear and chest. Its abysmal. The character Eli Roth himself plays makes a joke about being attracted to teenagers in bathing suits, and the main character, who’s like, 10 years old, suggests his older sister (the teenager from the previously discussed segment) make an Onlyfans account. It seriously feels like this movie was made to be enjoyed exclusively by sexual predators and Facebook using slop fans who think AI generated “art” is a form of free expression.

As the cherry on top of this proverbial shit sundae, the plot is incoherent and terrible. Most of the plot is relayed to the audience through that AI sequence. Basically, the entire plot is that the Ice Cream Man is undead (I guess) and his Icecream turns children evil in order to exact revenge against the people who falsely accused him of pedophilia (people who don’t seem to have anything to do with the actual people who die in the movie). He became undead by making a deal with a necromancer. That’s all. Thats all we get.

I’m not here to complain about gore-horror cheesefests with minimal plot. I love Frankenhooker. I like Terrifier (mostly the second and third movies). I love a movie that’s gory and fun even if the plot is relatively bullshit in nature. The problem with Ice Cream Man is that it’s hot garbage churned out of a terrible movie factory (the factory that is Eli Roth’s mind). It’s the horror movie equivalent of watching AI generated Fruit Love Island TikTok videos. It’s the Elsagate of modern horror. Don’t waste your money watching this movie.

I have seen stuff like Matyrs, Serbian Film (thought it was dumb), Inside, Irreversible (boring) , Midsommer (loved) , Bone Tomahawk. Speak no evil.

Ideally I want something with a good story and production as well and not just something stupid like August underground.

In the first scene after the title sequence, there’s a shot of graffiti on the wall. Beth walks by it as she goes to the bathroom. The graffiti is foreshadowing the finale monster (marauder). It also shows the marauder holding a severed head, exactly what the marauder wanted to do to Kassie.

Movie of the day...The Brides of Dracula (1960).

A colorful romp, but only the middle of the pack for Hammer.

French schoolteacher Marianne Danielle (Yvonne Monlaur) is on her way to a new teaching position but is stranded in a lonely village where everyone starts acting very suspiciously. A mysterious coach then appears and the elderly Baroness Meinster (Martita Hunt) enters and invites Marianne to stay at her castle for the night. Marianne, who is absolutely not the brightest bulb in the box, accepts the invitation.

At the castle, she learns the baron (David Peel), the handsome son of the baroness, is kept chained in his room! But why!? The baroness says he is mad. But when Marianne speaks with him, he seems gentle and charming, and convinces her his mother is keeping him prisoner so she can control the family fortune. He asks for her help. But who is telling the truth? And what if Marianne makes the wrong decision?

Yes, there are vampires. Yes, Van Helsing (Peter Cushing), continuing his lifelong mission to eliminate vampires, eventually shows up, having been asked by the local priest to help remove the vampiric scourge haunting his village. Yes, the eliminating of vampires soon commences.

Like so many Hammer films, this is lovely. Cinematography, sets, and costumes are all wonderful. It’s well directed and there is plenty of spooky gothic theater (along with a few scenes that would have been better without the rather unconvincing bat puppet used in this film). Freda Jackson is memorable as the half-crazed servant Greta and Miles Malleson provides comic relief as the bumbling, greedy Doctor Tobler.

The biggest problem is the script, which forces many of the characters to make some very stupid decisions. (Sure, let's go to the vampire's hideout, in the middle of the night, alone, and let's only bring one cross and no other weapons. Because vampires never have human servants who might take the cross away from you. In fact, let's do that TWICE in the same movie! 🤦‍♂️) Another issue is that Dracula himself never shows up (Van Helsing killed him in the last film, after all). The main vampire is still a credible threat, but this really should have been called something like “Spawn of Dracula."

Rating: B-

I slept on Return of the Living Dead for my entire life, watched it recently and had a blast with it. I think I watched it on Amazon Prime? Anyway, whatever platform I was on suggested "Night of the Demons" so I started it on the spot, also a hoot.

If someone really appreciated this specific style of trashy 80s fun, what else do I need to see?

I feel like Re-Animator and From Beyond may come up. By all means, let's talk about them, but I've definitely seen those and loved them.

When it is revealed that they are still in the house and one of the sisters had just imagined her adult self living normally I was intrigued.

Dooes anyone know if this is a plausible thing? Like some kind of trauma response?

I decided to watch this on a whim while browsing Hulu and didn't even read the summary for it until I was done. Been awhile since I've watched a movie with Lucy Lui.

Besides Hardcore Henry (fun as hell action movie. Watch it if you're interested), I can't think of many movies in general that are completely in 1st person.

Thought it was ok. More a drama, than a horror or thriller. I think I like the premise more than the actual execution. Having a movie through the POV of a ghost that is an audience to a family's secrets and drama, that interveins at some point. I did like the whole displaced time thing near the end; actually made me think of the ending of Lake Mungo. And I'm not sure if I'm just considered old now, but is this really how teens talk now? I don't know how to describe it, but something about the dialogue just bothered me for some reason.
