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

fender bender - Saw @Scoresman review this one and I pretty much agree with everything he said. Decent, fun slasher

hounds of love  Aussie movie about child predators searching for their next victim. Slow movie but it was good. It seems to be getting some rave reviews in some places. 3.5/5

last shift          A rookie cop's 1st shift in the last night of a closing police station alone turns into a living nightmare. That pretty much sums it up. There were some decent jump scenes in this one and a good ending. Enjoyed this one more than hounds of love 3.7/5

last house on the left (2009) We've all seen this movie & If you haven't then you need to. Solid remake 4/5

house of wax Paris Hilton & Elisha Cuthbert. Movie is a typical teen horror flick with a bit more graphic scenes. I don't mind looking at Elisha and Paris. Pretty good violence and gore. Its kind of like Chainsaw Massacre meets Deliverance  3.5/5

The Snowtown Murders  This one was a little disturbing because its based on true events. IMDB has it categorized as a bio/crime/drama but id say there's a bit horror to be in that situation.  My wife woke up to the gay rape scene so beware :lmao:   Based on true events, 16 year-old Jamie falls in with his mother's new boyfriend and his crowd of self-appointed neighborhood watchmen, a relationship that leads to a spree of torture and murder.  4/5

House Of Wax has some great entertainment value for sure. A solid teen slasher.

Get Out was highly entertaining. But once you have seen it....it will lose it's luster on repeated viewings IMO.

A really cool flick in the same type of genre as Get Out was The Skeleton Key (Kate Hudson). I really enjoy that film. Great ending too.

Watched a classic Gothic horror film this past weekend. 

Burnt Offerings. Just creepy as **ck!!!!

My favorites from your list are Spring, and Inner Demons.  Did not like Siren which was a shame because its based on one of my favorite shorts from the VHS movies.

I've posted about Bad Ben before and thought it was a very good, extremely low budget found footage movie, but the sequel, Steelmanville Road is pure hot, garbage.  You might find it so bad, it ends up being funny though.   

Also watched a couple decent ones over the weekend.

Tusk - Found this on Kodi, dont know where else it might be but this was a pretty unique flick.  Horror movie about a walrus enthusiast.  It's equal parts funny, obscure, and disturbing.  Nothing quite like it out there.

Chasing the Devil - Amazon Prime - This one was an ok, not great found footage movie.  It starts out great as sort of a possession based detective story with a couple WTF moments here and there.  It kind of falls apart towards the end though.  Still worth a watch.

 
I wanted to add steelmanville rd to my list but couldn't find it in imdb

never mind I guess I did have it on my list. still cant find it though

Tourist Trap scared the crap out of me as a kid. Definite 70's cheese but some of the imagery still gives me the chills. You'll never look at Chuck Connors the same way after seeing this. 

 
Anyone seen an Iranian movie called Under The Shadow? A friend recommended this to me on Netflix.

The Eyes of My Mother - Currently on Netflix

Don't read anything about it. Don't watch the trailer either. Fantastic visuals for a black and white film. Creates a fair amount of tension and unease without really showing that much violence or gore. Bit of an "artsy" horror film, but well worth your time. 

 
Watching Rob Zombie's new movie "31" right now. Not too bad, i'm halfway through and it is entertaining. Little like Running Man

ETA: not really a horror. And predictable, but kept my interest 2.5/5

I watched Absentia this weekend.  Plot was kind of interesting, but I thought the acting was pretty bad overall.  2.5/5

 
Long Weekend  1978. Australian film about a couple trying to repair their relationship go on a weekend camping trip to a remote beach. From the beginning it shows the main characters disrespecting their surroundings and nature takes its revenge. There's also a bit of supernatural at play where they cannot leave the area (blair witch). I originally wanted to watch the remake but couldn't find a source. I'm usually not a huge fan of the older films but I did enjoy this one.

3.5/5

 
Gravedancers 2006. low budget supernatural flick. The film is a notch above crappy low budget films -Watchable but nothing special. The critics seem to like it though.

After a night of drunken exploits, Allison, Harris, and Kira are chased and terrorized by the ghosts of a child pyromaniac, an ax murderer, and a rapist.

2/5

I've seen the remake and thought it was hilarious.  I imagine that was not their intention. It's bad.  Really bad IMO.

 
Watched a movie called Hush last week. I enjoyed it. 

I am looking forward to It Comes at Night which just came out in theaters.

Hush wasn't bad at all. Similar to "Don't Breathe" but not quite as good.

I'm also thinking about going to see "It Comes at Night". Getting great reviews.

 
Just watched "Man vs.".   The first 50 mins of this had potential.  Sort of a Blair Witch Project meets Terminator.  Then they must have run out of money.  Because the last 20 mins are some of the worst CGI / production I've ever seen.  It was a great idea.  Too bad the budget wasn't there.

 
I was dissapointed in it Comes at Night.  It was not what I was expecting and it was depressing. I would recommend waiting for video or see it on the cheap. I paid matinee prices so I was not to upset. I have a few questions about some things but I will wait until people have a chance to see it so I dont spoil anything.  Having said all that its not the worst movie you will see. I dont understand all the rave reviews and I suspect it will drop on rotten tomatoes after more people see it.

I was all in on dont breathe until he broke out the turkey baster. 

 
It Comes at Night is getting hammered on rotten tomatoes' user reviews.  Seems it's a movie in a similar vein to the Witch which was pretty polarizing.

I think the marketing really hurt this movie. It's not what it was advertised to be.

 
Looks like there are some real horror movie buffs in here--so I'll ask for some opinions in here. Have any of you guys seen a horror movie called "Perfume"?  It came out in 2006 and I've heard from a few different people that it is very entertaining.   In full disclosure--I don't fully trust the taste of one of the people that recommended it to me--so I figured I'd run it by the FBG.  Any feedback that does not spoil the movie would be greatly appreciated.

Exactly---the user reviews are what I look at first on there. The Mummy has like a 17% critic reviews and close to 50% on user reviews--I want to see that one.

It Comes has an 86% on Critics and less than 45% on Users--it just strikes me a slow build type movie that I am going to wait for RedBox on.

 
For those looking for some new titles

this guy on Reddit said he watched a horror movie everyday for a year   Here's his top list  I'll be watching chained tonight

9.5/10:

(2017) It Comes at Night

I truly believe this film hold a more important place in horror film history than people are initially realizing. It absolutely broke me and shattered any and all expectations I had. Not just about the film itself but about horror movies in general. This is a must see, ignore any negative reviews and decide for yourself.

(2010) I Saw the Devil

Close to perfection, a truly unapologetic film that never ceases to amaze, despite its long running time

(2011) Sleep Tight

Constant tension and extreme sexual deviance; Luis Tosar’s performance is top notch. This one flirts with perfection.

(2016) Arrival

Really emotionally impactful and wonderful creature design. This is also the least “horror” on the list, well, so far that is.

(2016) The Wailing

My favorite film of 2016, it hides its evil in plain sight and uses exceptional storytelling to consistently shroud any real time predictions in doubt.

(1988) The Vanishing

The entire movie is just genius and not even just in the way the plot is told. It’s the dialogue tempo, the music, the cinematography etc. I love this movie, maybe even more than it deserves but it rocked me from start to finish.

(1978) Invasion of the Body Snatchers

This is the best alien invasion movie that currently exists.

(1973) The Exorcist

While this didn’t scare me, it didn’t stop it from being that close to perfection film that people will talk about forever.

(2006) Inland Empire

My favorite David Lynch film and one that undoubtedly deserves to be discussed in the horror community.

(1968) Rosemary’s Baby

One of the best supernatural films in existence, this is Polanski’s masterpiece.

(1983) Videodrome

Indescribable, if you’re journeying through Cronenberg’s work, this would be a fine place to start

(2001) Pulse (Kairo)

This one really affected me and remains one of my favorite horror films period. Kurosawa is a master of depressive horror.

9/10:

(1978) The Shout

(2016) Nocturnal Animals

(2017) Get Out

(2003) Oldboy

(2016) Split

Some of those movies in the 9 category are pretty awful.  But his 9.5 list is pretty solid.  Just an odd mix of movies to all get a 9.5.

 
The Treatment - A Belgian film about a cop trying to catch a pedophile.  More of a thriller than horror I suppose.  The premise of this film is ####ed up, really ####ed up.  It's not too graphic but there are still some things I wish I could unsee.  I don't know if I'm glad to have seen it. I will never be able to recommend this to people. Yet, I thought it was one of the best crime thrillers I have seen in a long time. It is very engaging and well made. Amazon Prime.

Have any of you guys seen a horror movie called "Perfume"?  It came out in 2006 and I've heard from a few different people that it is very entertaining.   In full disclosure--I don't fully trust the taste of one of the people that recommended it to me--so I figured I'd run it by the FBG.  Any feedback that does not spoil the movie would be greatly appreciated.  
If this is the one I am thinking of (with Dustin Hoffman), it isn't a horror movie despite the premise.  I would call it mildly entertaining and would neither recommend nor recommend to avoid.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.  I don't think it is that movie as the one that I'm speaking of is French. Here it's he IMDB link to it and it doesn't mention Hoffman in there.

ICAN is a very good movie that does not fit within the conventional horror mold.  I would not call it a horror movie but more of a psychological thriller.  It is methodically paced, which could turn off someone expecting straight horror. 

While I liked it quite a bit, I don't think a viewer would lose much by waiting to see it at home.

 
Watched Tag the other night on Netflix  (thought of Homer throughout this movie). It has to be considered a fetish movie of some-sort--think really cute Japanese teenage school girls showing their underpants throughout this movie.This movie wants to be a porn movie, but yet there is no nudity at all--it is like one big tease throughout. I don't want to give anything away, but the first 10 minutes of this movie sets the tone for the whole thing--watch it and you will sit through the whole thing. 

I will just say the level of gore in this movie is off the chain....

Is it worth watching?  Sounds weird without much of a point

Sorry my edit got in late---this movie is gory and the gore comes so unexpectedly--you just will be shocked by it. Check out the bus scene at the beginning and you will stay for the whole thing.

Watching this now.  Excellent so far.

 
It is the same movie.  IMDB lists Dustin Hoffman second after the main star Ben Whishaw (whose name I did not know, hence me referencing Hoffman).
You are absolutely correct sir--I somehow missed his name on the cast member list.   Good catch and thank you for the feedback!!

Watched this last night. Good film and I agree with your feelings. If I did recommend this to people it would be with some warnings. Disturbing stuff.

 
Tusk was good I thought.  Well worth a watch.

I just watched "the girl with all the gifts".  Decent zombie movie for those of you who are strugging to find new decent zombie flicks to watch.  I havent checked "Train to Bussan" yet.  Hoping to soon.

Don't read anything about it. Don't watch the trailer either. Fantastic visuals for a black and white film. Creates a fair amount of tension and unease without really showing that much violence or gore. Bit of an "artsy" horror film, but well worth your time. 
This one wasn't bad. The B&W added to the creepiness of it. The lead actress was really good...and very cute.
