Could you give me an example of the type of horror film you're thinking of? I'm struggling.

weekly font posted:Rewatching the Insidii is an awesome idea. Buuuut if I remember The Orphanage correctly that ends on a huge bummer. Kinda, it's really only happy by horror movie standards but it's not an out-and-out everyone dies scenario. Which reminds me, Mama is another one with a sort-of happy ending, but again by horror standards.

I guess just some movies without torture, where a good guy "wins" and it doesn't shove grimdarkshit in your face.

The only one that sticks out to me as being particular vicious is The Burning, which I think other people in this thread have agreed with in the past. But stuff like Prom Night and Happy Birthday to Me might be fine (it's been a while). Also, if horror/comedy is okay, you can't go wrong with rewatching Dead Alive.

Well, at least once you've made yourself so depressed about humanity that you kill yourself, you won't chew tobacco anymore. Oh, and if you want the full kill-yourself effect, I'd recommend watching August Underground's Mordum rather than the original.

Mimic has a legit happy ending (although a kid dies earlier in the movie). So does Sometimes They Come Back (based on the Stephen King short story). Of course there's always Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, which is just awesome anyway.

I felt that it was so much fun bad I had a blast watching it. I love that the female lead became the star of her own slasher movie about halfway through. Granted, that happens in a lot of other horror movies, but they usually aren't as fun. Also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=?xLOM-pTpFKs

I went into it knowing nothing and was pleasantly surprised since for the first 20 minutes I expected The Strangers 2 and saw a really obvious twist coming. And then the movie took its turn and it was enjoyable enough that by time the twist happened I was having so much fun I didn't care.

weekly font posted:I've not. Tell me more. Its directed by Ben Wheatley (Kill List) and it's about this couple who go on a road trip through rural England. It's definitely funny, violent, and really entertaining. It's not really a straight-up horror movie, but I really enjoyed it, and it's on Netflix instant if you're in the states.

I've tried to get into the August Underground stuff but it's loving awful looking, not from like a "that's terrible, how disturbing" but a oh some high school kids with mediocre special effects skills did a movie .that I just usually get bored. I've tried to watch the first one and it was just " This is garbage". At least the Guinea Pig series and others had the decency to make it look realistic to a degree. Actually Guinea Pig is probably the most realistic gore I've ever seen, for some reason they get just the right perfect amount of blood. I was also a Paramedic/EMT for a decent while so stupid looking gore like that is like "Meh".Currently Watching the original Hitcher, may follow it up with the remake. I mean it has to be like a actual disturbing scene like Inside or Martyrs , although Martyrs avulsion or degloving isn't realistic at all. You don't look like that if someones skin off gets peeled off, it's just all red and yellowish white. Or just really painful looking for me to wince a way. Most of the time I think it just looks dumb. I've never seen Serbian Film, but have no desire to at all either. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Aug 5, 2014 |

That film owns but according to the thread you shouldn't watch anything else in the series. The original film does it all and better.

The thread seems to be 50/50 on You're Next, but I thought it was entertaining. Do see the Rutger Hauer Hitcher, Detention, and Sightseers as they are legit good movies (your mileage may vary with Detention)

I was the one hyping Detention many moons ago. I've seen all of those already and I've seen Hitcher , just going back and rewatching horror movies I watched as a teen.

Not quite as realistic as Flowers of Flesh and Blood, but very close, and MUCH more disturbing. If you don't cringe when the guy cuts off his own penis, you've seen too many horror movies.

I only ever watched the first one, after that avoided them like the plague. Just no real interest in watching them. They always came across as someone watched Henry and were like "Yeah, that house scene with VHS camera was awesome, let's just do that" Weirdly while reading the Wikipedia for August Underground it led me to the wiki for Angels Melancholy or Melancholie der Engel, anyone seen it supposedly German Hardcore Horror film ro whatever.

Yeah, I was gonna say, Mordum has got some impressive effects, especially since they cut minimally and shoot in harsh, flat lighting. Whether that makes for a good movie is another story.

They're bad movies, but not because of the effects.
