Is it in that weird out-of-theaters-not-out-on-VOD limbo? My local indie theater showed it for two weeks at the end of August/early September. Also, they just announced that they're showing 3 From Hell in October, along with the Wrinkles the Clown documentary (which will count towards the October Challenge, if anyone is able to catch it during it's run).

It isn’t satire though? It seems sincere, and that’s the scary thing about it. I really really doubt the sandy hook promise of all things would be making satire over mass shootings

It's not to the same degree as, say, Airplane! or Scary Movie, because at the core of the message is something the director and writers care about and do mean. A message they are serious about. That's what I mean by it at least. It uses dark humor to get across its actual message.

I read the description of Initiation and it didn't sound familiar, but Hide and Go Shriek's plot description does sound familiar despite the fact that I can't remember a loving thing about the movie. So it's probably the latter. Thanks!

There seems to be a direct shout out to The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill in the first segment of the Creepshow series. Which makes sense because the story is similar.

T3hRen3gade posted:I Disagree. It’s a bad remake but it’s at least dumb in a silly way unlike Gus van sant’s psycho which is just boring and bad. First horror memory is either The changeling on tv or The Witches in theaters both terrified a very young me. I was absolutely terrified of the trailer for a movie before either Batman or Batman returns where a tv sucks a family into hell. I avoided movie trailers for a good long while after that.

Wicker Man remake sucks but yeah Nicholas Cage and the ultra overwrought way it's shot makes it very enjoyable.

When I was a little kid UPN aired Alien Abduction: Incident In Lake County, in a "it might be real!" kind of way. It scared the poo poo out of me. For like a year afterward every night when I went to bed I would stare at my bedroom door, convinced that it would swing open and there would be an alien there

Actually you reminded me that my first “horror” Experience was some alien abduction doc that wasn’t that, but had a bit about a child who got taken away and came back with a triangle cut on its forehead. Spooked me as much as it got me hardcore into UFO’s and the paranormal

my first horror experience was Goosebumps and Tales From the Crypt as a little-little kid my first horror MOVIE experience was being 7 or 8 years old and being TERRIFIED of the cardboard cutout leatherface they had for the release of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beggining in my local DVD rental store. The DVD cover also scared lil Kvlt!

I wouldn't say it holds up exactly, but kind of impressive for a tv movie from the 90s. And it pre-dates blair witch and last broadcast when it comes to found footage too.

Sure, there's the scene where they mysterious Alien technology is very obviously just a laser pointer. But it's got fantastic escalation, the acting isn't terrible, and it uses the found footage gimmick really well. I love how the alien's behavior makes total sense. They aren't hostile, they're just investigating the family. But from the family's point of view holy poo poo aliens are trying to get into our house.

It really comes down to if there is a very obvious ironic dream death Goku could suffer through. LORD OF BOOTY posted:So I'm guessing Nightingale is an absolute no if the person I usually watch movies with has issues with sexual violence? The sexual violence is brutal, but also very humane in how it works in the narrative. It doesn't feel exploitive and really focuses on the point of view of the victim. But the movie's rape scenes are very emotionally intense and if someone has a history of being triggered by depictions of sexual violence in other movies then I'd imagine this cutting pretty deep.

Late to the earliest horror chat but my legit first memories of a horror movie are Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Particularly the scene where Leatherface cuts off L.G.'s face and puts it on Stretch. We lived in the country full of tiny barbecue places and back roads so in the mind of a kid like me Leatherface was just out there waiting. God that movie owns.
