The Addiction is by far my fave for ‘95. E: Oops! Can’t say I even have a fave for ‘96. Been too long since I’ve seen Scream to count. Splatter: Naked Blood and Thesis are my two highest rated for the year, but that’s not very high. Servoret fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Dec 9, 2022 |

I have to go with From Dusk til Dawn as a top fave for 1996. It's probably a sign that I'd end up getting more into the Weird Wild West subgenre with how much I love Dusk til Dawn.

In honesty, I've gotta give 1996 to Scream. But if anything were to dethrone it, it would be

My favorite horror movie is obviously twister (Lol idk why that’s in the list) Also 1996 is filled with bangers. Scream, Henry, from Dusk Till Dawn, Tremors 2, tromeo and Juliet (which I like but love more bc it brought in my favorite director) the arrival, the frighteners

95 and 96 I've got no strong feelings about. The Craft does have a scene that's stuck with me. when they pass out after the ritual, and wake up on the beach and it's just littered with dead sea life

CelticPredator posted:My favorite horror movie is obviously twister I think Dusk Til Dawn is my pick for 96 even if I've seen it way less, because I started the Not Actually A Horror Movie thing and I don't want to get into that rut. I should rewatch Dusk Til Dawn sometime. Twister (as with JP) is one of my favorite movies period, if we use the "I will always watch this if I see it's on" definition of favorite. It's a monster movie where the monster chasing you is "weather". It's got Alan Ruck and Philip Seymour Hoffman and Cary Elwes and cows. (Not outside of Aunt Maggie's place, though.) The whole movie is a giant commercial for the then-new semi-styled Dodge Ram, which unfortunately did not have a self-healing windshield in real life. I adore Twister.

Scream is a perfect movie and possibly the best of the whole decade.

Just for being influential on kids at that age (source: me, who was a kid in 96) it's gotta be Scream and The Craft.

I feel like I've seen the Craft so many times, and I still feel like I need more Fairuza Balk in my life. Like, the Craft, American History X, the Waterboy and the Island of Dr. Moreau? That's all we got?

Return to Oz kicks rear end and is definitely in the "arguably a horror movie" pile she also has a fun bit part in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call: New Orleans (not horror but a great movie)

You guys should be using letterboxd instead of a google search, it gives you a better idea of what came out. https://letterboxd.com/films/popular/year/1996/genre/horror/ I'd have to go with Scream for 1996, but I thought Killer Condom was pretty unexpectedly great.

Tremors 2 would actually be pretty high on my list for 96. I'd probably put it above everything except for Scream and From Dusk Till Dawn.

Scream is obviously the winner, but I want to give a shoutout to Head of the Family just for... being what it is. It's a Charles Band movie that I didn't find boring, so it's got that going for it. Plenty of other decent movies too, like From Dusk Til Dawn, The Frighteners, etc. I love Tromeo & Juliet but come on, it's not a horror movie.

What I'm getting out of this is that the 90s are a whole lot better than I remembered. Not 80s or 70s tier, but still pretty drat good all things considered.

I was looking into Freeway after the brief discussion here, saw the director is listed as a "former" director and wanted to know why. A quick trip to his filmography explains it pretty well.

Yeah the decline was more relative, the slasher genre seeming well and truly dead and nothing really replacing it as a sure-fire money maker meant you got some interesting stuff but it was scattered around. They were kinda hit by shifts in the indie market too, DTV took over where the grindhouses had gone away.

Didn't like Nope. It was a bit better than Us but not by much. The comic relief in Jordan Peele's movies usually comes off as stupid to me and deflates surrounding tension instead of being a welcome relief. There's more to it than that, but I was mixed on the movie until the 'nobody fucks with haywood' bit, then I was done. The script is a bit of a mess, there's no real emotional stake excep a brief bit about the ranch being important because it was the first black owned horse wrangling ranch for hollywood. Except not even OJ seems to give much of a poo poo about that. He's getting at something with the exploitation of animals and them turning against you, but that's just a theme. Anything can have a theme, the actual drama/comedy of the film didn't work. The best bit was the scary chimpanzee flashback. Now that I think about it, that part had almost no dialogue. All three of his movies have the same problems for me and aren't going away, so I suppose he's just not for me. roomtone fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Dec 9, 2022 |
