speaking of found footage woods movies, Sasquatch on prime owns incredibly hard. Probably one of the first found footage movies and imo as far as the search for bigfoot mockumentary genre goes its way more entertaining than Boggy Creek.

Timeless Appeal posted:Counter point: Horror is pretty great. I mean, when I say horror industry I mean like the current big name horror directors/producers working ala James wan and mike Flanagan and Netflix originals that make serviceable derivative dreck with mass appeal and lots of blue filters. Those dudes suck.

I actually didn’t really like lake Mungo because I found it slow and sad and not scary at all for like 99% of it, but I’m not gonna lie the big scene still got me pretty good it’s a very well done scare. One scare doesn’t make a movie for me though

Hollismason posted:I'm really into lost world stuff right now so more B movie stuff like that which is good I am down for. The Day Time Ended is a favorite of mine just for how hilariously dumb it is. They really pull out all the stops. Planet of the Dinosaurs is another good one. They’re both bad movies but they’re fun bad movies

Dissapointed Owl posted:This is actually a pretty funny statement, considering Yeah I was gonna say I’m pretty sure the original Italian for any of these movies are still dubs, we just can’t tell because we don’t speak Italian lol. Its also funny Tenebrae was brought up because I know they got the main actor to do his own lines (or at least dub his own voice) because I was immediately able to recognize him in some other film by his voice (I couldn’t stop seeing him as his character from tenebrae) Edit: I went to the trivia page on IMDb to try to find out more and didn’t see anything on that, but did find this interesting. I had no idea and I’ve seen the movie like 10+ times quote:In an interview that appeared in Cinefantastique, Dario Argento noted that the film was intended as near-science fiction, taking place "about five or more years in the future ... Tenebre (1982) occurs in a world inhabited by fewer people with the result that the remainder are wealthier and less crowded. Something has happened to make it that way but no one remembers, or wants to remember ... It isn't exactly my Blade Runner (1982), of course, but nevertheless a step into the world of tomorrow. If you watch the film with this perspective in mind, it will become very apparent." Argento later insisted that the film was set in an imaginary city, fifteen years in the future, and that the disaster the city's inhabitants were striving to forget was an atomic bomb blast.

Samuel Clemens posted:Aside from Angel Heart, are there any great horror films about a detective/police officer who goes to investigate a mystery and finds something supernatural? I guess In the Mouth of Madness sort of works in the same vein. I wouldn’t call either of them great but Cast a Deadly Spell and The Resurrected are fun neonoir horror

I feel like I’ve seen at least a handful of slashers in which the villain is defeated by being set on fire (then usually running out of a window) but I can’t think of names of the top of my head. Maybe The Burning?

Looking for horror book recommendations, I’ve been trying to read more lately. I read The Haunting Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle this week and really liked them both. In the past the only stuff I’ve read that’s horror related has been Steven King and I gotta be honest, I don’t really like his books. So stuff more like Shirley Jackson and less like Steven King. What are some 20th century classics of the genre? I know this came up in the last thread at some point.

I watched The Editor, Fathers Day and Manborg and thought they were all unfunny garbage where all of the constant “oh so random” jokes missed and they looked like they were made by a bunch of friends with no budget or acting talent. Perhaps they’re just not for me, I don’t know why I watched all of them to be honest I’ve watched almost every single giallo, I just thought it was a bad movie vvvv Tolkien minority fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Dec 30, 2018 |

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the only good characters in the f13 remake are the Asian and black best bros who unfortunately receive exactly the fate you would expect of the minority characters in a f13 remake

Is anything else from him worthwile Occult is IMO as good as Noroii, but is more blackly comic and less of a straight horror movie. His others are varying levels of decent to good but not up to the same level

I've seen the original, X and FvJ. Enjoyed how good the latter two were but only really found the first interesting for its cultural significance (and i was surprised jason wasn't it lol) If your idea of good is Jason x you should be pleasantly surprised by like every movie in the series (it’s the worst one)
