Pic related is mine. Such a solid movie. From being a critique of consumerism to racism, to an action movie, to comedy at some points. And while it might not be scary in the traditional sense, the opening scenes detailing the chaos around a news station trying to remain calm during the end of the world are done pretty well and set the mood for surviving the apocalypse.
The Void (2016) Its a fucking awesome not very good movie that does suspense and looking nice very well. The plot is pretty loose, a bunch of people find themselves trapped in a decaying hospital by crowds of cultists outside, inside the hospital are body horror abominations and our intrepid heroes try to figure out what the fuck is going on. Tons of practical special effects, a somewhat nonsensical story, remarkably compelling acting and a really good sense of atmosphere. The Void is a movie with a lot of heart.
The first two of the V/H/S series of short horror anthology films are an absolute blast. I haven’t seen the rest but I hear they fell off.
It’s been a while since I saw The Void, but I liked how the survivors at the end were basically random. If I remember right, it’s >!a nurse and some guy who showed up in the middle of the movie? We follow the main characters to the hospital, but they all die, and the two people who make it out are strangers and (best of all) aren’t thrown into some haphazard romance subplot.!< It’s a realistic ending in a lovecraftian horror most stories are afraid to do.
The third segment in VHS2, Safe Haven, really deserves its own film.
Return of The Living Dead is the most fun you can have watching a horror movie.
Followed by Wishmaster.
OG Candyman is tops. I thought i was gonna see people get killed by bees not watch a liberal get shown the horrors of receiving what she thought she wanted. Did she want to be a “white savior”? To be accepted by black people? Did she secretly wish to be black?
Here comes the candyman to fulfill her wish! But like a monkey’s paw its not what she wants, not at all. Might be the best commentary on this I’ve ever seen
Re-Animator. I love schlock.
Probably the first Nightmare on Elm Street, I love how it has scenarios like “the stairs are quicksand now” that actually feel dreamlike.
The sequels for the most part went in a more comedic direction, but I can appreciate that too. Dream Warriors and The Dream Master are my other two favorites in the series.
I’ve only seen bits and pieces of the first movie but Freddy used to scare me as a kid.
