Suck_on_my_Presence
A pain so great that your fingers stop working and your limbs go numb and everything in your body triggers a throb but you can’t stop crying because it hurts too bad.
Uuuuuuugggggghhhhhh. I’m really happy that you’re able to have them significantly less frequently. That’s a huge boon. Hopefully you can be migraine free moving forward!
I am too lazy to change the formatting, but those are my notes on the movies I’ve seen this summer… some of them I remember better than others, and I’ve definitely forgotten to include quite a few on here.
[V] Late night with the devil - 7/10 Fun, unique
[V] Barbarian 5/10 - Ew, asshole characters
[V] Talk to me 7/10 - unique, uncomfortable
[V] Hell House LLC 7/10 - fun, scary
[V] Smile 7/10 - didn’t need the ending, excited for the sequel
[V] The menu 9/10 - dread, uncomfortable
[V] Anna and the apocalypse 7/10 - fun! Sad!
[V] The descent 6/10 - strong people, ew
[V] Event horizon 0/10 - ew, ew
[V] Train to busan 10/10 - terrifying, great characters
[V] Underwater 7.5/10 - claustrophobic, unique
[V] The cleansing hour 7/10 - unique, funny
[V] Sputnik 5/10 - ((can’t remember))
[V] Freaky 6.5/10 - funny
[V] Longlegs - undecided. But maybe 8/10? Dreadful
- The Exorcist (The Version You’ve Never Seen)
I’ve never seen this version? But I have read the book and eugh. It’s horrible in a sort of losing bodily autonomy way.
- Hereditary (a masterpiece in my opinion. Free upvote literally every time I see someone recommend it)
This one sat with me for a long time and I swore immediately after watching it that I would never watch it again. And now I absolutely love it. There are a few bright moments that really freak me out, but the tension and build up is so good. Chef’s kiss to this one.
- Blair Witch Project
Haven’t seen!
- Paranormal Activity
One of my favorites! I know this one gets dragged for being campy(??), but I think the original did an excellent job of building suspense and dread.
- Ouija: Origin of Evil
Mike Flanagan is one of my favorites and this one is a lot of fun. Not as high in my list as others, but still a good time.
- It (miniseries got me as a kid but Chapter 1 is good too)
I need to rewatch the miniseries, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the more recent movies. I think the actors were all great (especially for Pennywise), but it felt like it was trying too hard? Pt 2 seemed to realize they’d never match the book and it ended up being more funny than anything.
- Lights Out (not the entire movie but it has its moments and overall a good style)
- Candyman (original)
- Poltergeist (original)
- Autopsy of Jane Doe (another poster reminded me of this one!)
- The Taking of Deborah Logan (for like one scene but IYKYK)
- The Dark and the Wicked
- The Orphanage
- Terrified and When Evil Lurks were both solidly unsettling at least
These are all being added to my list!
- Event Horizon (though I know you didn’t like this one)
Bleh. Lol
- Conjuring 1-2 and Sinister too, all at least solid spookies.
Love these movies. I would add the first half of Insidious as well.
As for my list - I’ll throw that in a separate comment soon enough :D
Oh I agree that they’re not the only good horror movies, there are so many out there that are good in other ways and many of which I absolutely love. But I’m really just looking for that something to keep the lights on at night, lol.
Thanks for the list! There are a few I haven’t seen in there, I’ll give them a try :)
Oooh yes. I’m with you and the other commenter that that particular feeling of dread is really really great. Hereditary, Midsommar, and VVitch definitely all fit that bill. I’ve heard the same for Lights Out, so I’m going to give that a go too.
Also Chernobyl is so so good. I’ve seen it a few times now and oof.
