I watch horrors all the time, so I'll be tagging this thread too!FrozenCones said:This thread is definitely of interest. I have a tradition where I watch one new horror movie each day for a week around Halloween. Last year was a dire disappointment. Help me fellow Escapists. You're my only hope.
Oh yeah man. +1 to Grave Encounters. I liked it for what it was, which was a decent attempt at a found footage movie. Way better than other movies that have horrible, contrived reasons for having a camera recording nearby.Juste Goose said:Grave Encounters. I plug that movie whenever possible.
It's the best "found footage"-esque movie I've ever seen. It's set up like one of those "ghost hunters" shows, but instead of giving you the occasional drip of ghost activity, it turns on the fire hose. It wasn't loved by critics, but what horror movie is? It's really great at building tension, and making your eyes dart around the screen trying to guess where the next ghost is going to pop out.
Just watch it. Please. Do it for me. It's on netflix, I think. Skip the sequel though.
I always forget to give Insidious a try as well. Mostly because the father was in Watchmen (I believe) and Hard Candy.Teoes said:Most recent one I watched was Insidious and it was surprisingly good; I half expected to be less than impressed. Well made film and a nice build-up of tension. The reveal in the 3rd Act was 'meh' for me (it looked a bit lame) but the finale ratcheted it right back up.
I'm a big fan of The Orphanage/El Orfanato, too. The atmosphere is fantastic. Such a sad, sad film.
Yeah man, The Blob remake was pretty horrifying in its day. And Night of the Comet was a fun little movie. I believe it also starred a young Robert Beltran of Star Trek: Voyager fame (Chakotay).Rebel_Raven said:[...]
"The Blob" 1988 version is more fun, and has some pretty wild melty person FX. I don't think I've seen much better/more memorable melty persons.
"Night of the Comet" isn't too bad, but horror heavy it ain't.

I am definitely going to have to check out Dagon now thanks to you.Rebel_Raven said:Yep! Robert Beltran was in Night of the Comet.
It's a pretty neat apocalypse movie.
Yeah, the Blob is kinda tame these days, but still impressive to see, IMO. If not scary/horrifying, impressive to see. 'z a main reason I recommend it.
That's on my listCompatriot Block said:I was very surprised by Sinister last year. It's actually been getting good reviews for any genre, let alone a horror movie. Highly recommended by me.
Pretty damn good watch though. You won't be looking at pictures the same way anymore.Compatriot Block said:I was very surprised by Sinister last year. It's actually been getting good reviews for any genre, let alone a horror movie. Highly recommended by me.
