FFA Official Horror Movie Thread Catching up on Shudder and Various Streaming Platforms (4 Viewers)

Trash Fire on Netflix is worth a watch. Not sure I would call it "Horror" other than the characters that are in it are absolutely horrible and do horrible things to each other. That being said I really did enjoy it and feel its well worth checking out.

You're not selling the movie.  Will not watch.

I did watch XX this am.  Four short stories done by women directors I believe.  And like most anything directed by women, the stories made little sense and ultimately left me unsatisfied.  Ok,well that last part usually happens to the women, but you get what I meant. 

 
"Lights Out":  2013 version.   Good acting, story line & premise which is usually quite lacking in horror.   Weird girl named Dianna(who has a skin disease, thus is sensitive to light) gets killed, but actually live vicariously through her friend when the lights are out.  3.5/5.   Mainly scary and no gore.

 
"The Devil's Candy"  Really enjoyed this one. It's a mix of a home invasion and possession film. Highly recommend it. If you dont want to spend the $$ to rent it, its an IFC Midnight release which means it should be on Netflix in 3-6 months.

Diabolical.  Man this movie was pretty bad.  I was expecting more of a plot, but seemed like just a bunch of scenes with fights against a ghost/army experiment or whatever it was supposed to be.  Ali Larter's #### in whipped cream couldn't have helped this movie (although it would have been nice if she tried) 2/5

Watched The Girl with all the Gifts on Kodi last night, and I feel this is right up there with Train to Busan in great recent zombie movies.  It has a very unique spin on the zombie genre and I found the various children zombies absolutely terrifying.

I really want to see this.  I've heard the book is great.

 
Raw is the film I'm looking forward to the most.  From a recent article

At the TIFF screening, two people were seen being tended to by paramedics in the lobby, with an ambulance arriving toward the end of the film. “I heard a third person passed out but I wasn’t there for that,” said Sara Sampson, a press representative for the film. Sampson tells me that one guy in his 20s got dizzy and when he left, started to pass out, and hit his head on the wall. The other guy, who was a TIFF volunteer, started making gagging noises and also had to flee his seat. (A friend who’d seen the movie at Cannes told me that at her screening an entire row of elderly people got up and walked out at once.) Press agent Ryan Werner said he hadn’t seen such a visceral reaction to a film since Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist, while the manager of the Midnight Madness screenings proudly declared that Raw had bested the previous (anecdotal) record for walkouts and fainting set three years ago by Eli Roth’s cannibal movie The Green Inferno.

The Lesson--got this at Redbox, Wow, a really bad, bad movie--teacher supposedly fed up with delinquent kids, kidnaps them and tortures them to make them learn. There was literally nothing redeeming about this movie. The number of scenes with just talking and talking and talking was so mind numbing. But that wasn't the worst part--the filming was terrible--buy a freaking tripod. This was like a POV movie--except it wasn't a POV movie. The camera moves all around even on scenes when it was just two people talking. This was like a high school project--how it won any awards is beyond me. Avoid at all costs....

 
The Canal:   Not bad, not great.   some pretty gross scenes & decent suspense.  Acting for a horror movie was excellent.   Some disturbing parts that overall====3/5.

 
Seems like way too many horror movies have reports of people fainting and throwing up.  Has to be urban legend to drum up interest, right?  Has anybody ever seen anything like that at a theater?

Never but I saw an older couple walk out of Hostel. Pretty sure they were in the wrong theater.

closest I experienced..

when Blair Witch first came out went with a group of about 10 from work. One girl did get sick and had to leave 1/2 way through but I think it had more to do with the shaky camera

not close to that but a college age girl screamed and freaked out at one of the paranormal activity movies (2 maybe) and left the theater. Not sure if she left from being freaked out or from being embarassed

A group of co-workers went to Event Horizon back in the day, and one the girls was crying b/c she was scared.  That's the closest I've seen. 

 
I've walked out of movies on account of how bad the acting or plot is, but that's about it.  I watch horror movies at home exclusively since Mrs. Osaurus won't go see one in a theatre with me so I'm not a good reference here.

Any word on The Belko Experiment?  Thinking I'll pass but would like opinions

The one critic on Vanity Fair, who sounds like a complete wimp, said he left the movie 3/4 of the way in because of the level of violence and it was pointless. Now I was going along with this until he said the other movie he hated and left in was The Raid 2. At that point, this critic loses all sense of credibility because the Raid movies were awesome.

I was really hoping Belko would have been offered via PPV because I wouldn't pay to see it in the theater.

Well off to do one of my favorite things in the whole world-- Family Movie Day. My wife and two daughters get tickets to multiple movies and just spend the day at the movie theater eating terrible movie theater food (however, we are going to go over to the Subway right next door and smuggle in some 6 inch subs to go with the lots of candy and popcorn :bag: )  

Today's movies will be Kong and Life.

 
my parents were at the jurrasic park in theaters and some old dude had a heart attack. not sure if it was related to the film or too much butter on the popcorn

great idea!

 
My wife would be one of these people who get sick or has to leave.  She just cant handle anything remotely scary.  Hell, she couldn't even get through Shawshank Redemption after seeing Brooks' hanging.  

Sometimes I'll leave Netflix on a horror movie title with a gory cover so she sees it when she turns on the TV.   :D

There should be separate classifications between scary horror and gross/gore horror. But for some people they're kind of the same thing.

 
Long time ago, there was a pee incident with my sister when Jason jumped through the window at the end of Friday the 13th Part 2.

Fixed :bag:

So movie update---Kong (obviously not a horror movie) but family really enjoyed it--nice mindless fun.

Life was good. A little short on character development as it just jumps into the fray, but had a lot of suspenseful moments. I think it did its best to avoid scenes and moments you would find in the Alien movies to set it apart.

Gross, dude.  Just stick to the candy and popcorn.

 
The Devil's Candy

not sure where I heard about this film but it was pretty good. I cant think of another movie that its similar to.

Good acting/filming/storyline/soundtrack.

ill probably watch this one again

4/5 

 
The Loved Ones

I didn't realize it until now but these two movies have the same director. This one has an original feel to it also. This movie is kind of like Carrie mixed with Psycho. Some decent gruesome scenes. Worth a watch it was entertaining. Bunch of unknown actors too .

Its worth a watch. Devils Candy is more in my ballpark for horror but this was entertaining

3.8/5

 
I also tried watching Psycho 2

Got about 30 minutes into it and just couldn't do it

not a huge fan of the older ones anymore

Same with Population 436  5.8/10

wasn't really into it. I don't even know how its considered a horror
