I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

the Babadook is a horror movie about how lovely it is to raise a lovely kid

some nosferatu-lookin thing shows up a few times and I guess it's not all that scary but more depressing

good movie though

Yeah babadook is what I was gonna say. Its not scary cuz monsters, its scary and horrifying cuz children, and being a single parent.

I enjoyed Banshee Chapter. Lake Mungo is cool too, although that's not on netflix. Jay from redlettermedia recommended Starry Eyes and he's gorgeous and never wrong. I liked it.

Europa Report good too.

I guess none of this stuff is scary per se, but it is eerie and unsettling, not unlike the way we're all still posting on this forum

i really enjoyed The Shrine, thought that was decently creepy

the first half-hour or so is dull but its worth it when they finally get to the titular statue

The Honeymoon was pretty good. They got the "creepy cabin in the woods" feeling down, and you seriously have no idea what's actually going on until the last couple minutes where poo poo just gets all Lynch/Cronenberg-ish.

Scary movies are not scary, however I hate jump scares or even transitions in non scary movie where they use a loud noise. Makes me jump every time.

the real monster is technically the overwhelming desire to kill you're family

the screaming horrible child is more like a catalyst

also the desire to kill you're famil will forever reside in your basement and will never go away, not really

just like real life

i do not enjoy being spooked really; gently caress cheapass cat scares

oh boy movie you really got me by playing a loud noise and flashing some bullshit on the screen; such masterful film making that will stick with me forever

babadook was not scary and actually really lovely when taken as a horror movie. if you look at it as an allegory about substance abuse and depression it suddenly becomes a masterpiece painted in subtle nuances
