Evidently Blumhouse abandoned a third installment (for good reason). The original was pretty good. 

 
So...we started The Audition last night but I was very tired. I got to the first date with the girl.

Tell me.....am I about to see some crazy S***? Feels like this is building to pure madness.

Oh yeah - plug through the first 30mins - it's well worth it.  First 1/3 feels like a weird dreamy rom-com, but then it switches.  

Where are you watching this?  I would love to rewatch this one.

Shudder. Best channel ever made for horror fans. Well worth the monthly subscription. Their original content is also great. We watched The Witch in the Window. Great movie. Also Summer of 1984 another fun retro romp. 

Creepshow (The Series) and Joe Bob Briggs Late Night Drive-in....lot's of great movies and shows. Also live streaming channels on Shudder etc. Awesome App.

Made it through The Lodge last night.  Liked it well enough.  Thought it was going to be predictable, kinda was, then kinda wasn't by the end.  Moody and atmospheric, but slogs at times in the middle.  3/5.

I recently canceled shudder and really badmouthed them in social media. I am a huge horror fan and shudder would be a dream come true if it worked. Many of the shows they would advertise never showed up on my shudder. I got no Joe Bob Briggs other than 3 old episodes?

Their menu is horrible. At no time did I have a large menu to look at. I complained several times and received no help so I cancelled.

I am now learning that my problem may have been that I signed up through Amazon. I kind of get the excuse but Shudder needs to fix that or don't let Amazon distribute your stuff until they can get it right. 

I would be hard pressed to think of a service that has caused me more frustration than Shudder.

Having said that I love horror enough that I am sure I will give it another shot when I am back to work. I will try to sign up directly instead of through Amazon and see if that helps.

 
Watch If You Dare

It’s pretty gruesome for sure, but definitely not particularly interesting. It’s like a flesh fetish series of vignettes. 1.5/5

 
Safari

Found footage of a group of Americans on a safari in South Africa who obviously didn't check out their tour guides on tripadvisor and they they get stranded. Has some pretty tense moments.  The threat here comes from the wildlife and they did a good job showing this on a limited budget. Found footage aspect makes it seem much more real in this case.    Solid found footage entry.  

 
With all the Sinister talk in here I re watched that last night. It's a fun flick. I forgot about the kids doing the shhhh sign. Pretty creepy and when the movie first came out I used to do that to my kids for a laugh. Glad I re watched it. I never saw the second one but it sounds like I did not miss much.

 
i 've been watching horror movies like crazy since the quarantine. i wouldn't say this is a horror movie per se, but still was an interesting movie. The Blackout Experiments is more of a documentary about the blackout horror houses in New York and LA. I went in kind of hoping to see more of what exactly what they are like, but still found it interesting when they interviewed and followed people who have attended the shows. 

Dudes who run seem ok from what i have seen. lot better than the guy who runs the McKaney manner or whatever who just seems like a creepy bully

People sign up to be traumatized? I didn't know that stuff existed.

kind of a spoiler, but

was pretty crazy how one of the last things they did was go into the homes of the people who attended and basically told them they had to agree to never do Blackout again, and it seemed to effect some of them the most to have to say that. {/spoiler}
 
Hereditary

Ugh. I've been dreading this movie ever since it came out, and for good reason. It's great, let's start with that. Much like director's other hit Midsommer, this movie established a creepiness beginning with the opening shot that never relents. Going into this, I was already a Toni Collette fan. But I don't think I've ever seen a horror film before where an actor so accurately shows horror and terror on their face. So I'm recommending the movie for sure with one caveat: if you're in a bad mental place, then avoid this movie. It's truly one of the darkest, most f***ed up things I've ever seen.

Watched it. Not a big fan. I actually liked Midsomar more. Definitely dark and evil and creepy as hell. But something simply did not click with me on my first watch. 

Maybe I will watch again with a different perspective. 

In the meantime. We are watching the series Wolfcreek on Shudder. We were big fans of the the two films (especially the original). Just pure lunacy in the Australian Outback. We are on episode 5 and there is 6 total. And then on to season two. Only 2 seasons were made.

If you liked Wolfcreek.....you will like this.

Brother can’t sleep and is on the verge of dying while sister with other doctors try to save him. And he’s apparently possessed by a demon. 2/5. Skip it.

I dig. Honestly, I think Hereditary is one of the best films I've seen in a couple years, regardless of genre.

I watched this last night. I would disagree with you calling it about horror houses. That seemed more of psychological torture. When I think of horror houses I think of scary monsters jumping out at you as you walk through. Some more extreme than others but same basic premise. This was none of that. This was like being kidnapped by terrorists. 

I am wondering if this is a real thing. I have not looked it up yet but I will. I am not even clear if that was truly a documentary or was it a movie documentary like Blair Witch? I came close to turning it off a few times as I thought it was pretty average.

I will say that story about the girl stripping for him and then turning it around by crying and saying she didn't want to do it freaked me the #### out. Thats not right and probably would have messed with my head for many years. I do like how the story was told after seeing the act. When I first saw the naked girl crying I thought it was one of the clients and not an actress. That was the freakiest thing of the show.

 
We watched all three Hell House flicks. 

We really liked the first one. A lot. Very well done found footage film. Probably the best I have seen in the genre besides Quarantine and Cloverfield. 

The second one had a great creep factor but the acting was atrocious to point of laughing. 

The third one wrapped up the story really nicely and was a nice rebound from part 2.

Overall good entertainment. Shudder has been a really nice departure for us during this lockdown.

Creepy movie. One of the better mockumentary style found footage movies out there.

On Shudder, Netflix or Amazon?

Watching The Canal tonight. Heard good things about that one. Irish import murder/supernatural!

 
Caught “Ready or Not” today on HBO. 

Has a “Cabin in the Woods” vibe - though not as self-aware - and a fair bit of gory character endings. Not a true “horror” film imo, but worth 95 minutes if you have the time. 3.5/5.

Just came in to post the same...watched Ready or Not tonight as well. GF and I both liked it...7.5/10.

Loved the gore and the humor level was pretty much perfect. A fun watch that went by very quickly.

Did a good job combining  comedy, horror, suspense, and action. Samara Weaving was really good in it.

Bonus for Letterkenny fans - Melanie Scrofano (Mrs. McMurray) plays a great part.

@Todem - you ever finish this? 

I also re-upped my Shudder sub.  There are a few in there I have been meaning to watch.  

 
My directors cut of Dr Sleep should be arriving today. I am a day or two late but I plan on celebrating the Shining anniversary. First the Shining followed by Dr Sleep.

The original was good. It has not aged well. But it still has a great creep factor. I won’t say anymore. It is worth a watch at least once.

There are a couple like that from that time period.  I like Candyman more for the myth aspect of it.  I think it's well done.    

Another that comes to mind is Serpent and the Rainbow, but it's been forever since I watched that, so not sure if that would hold up.  

 
I have been watching a lot of Joe Bob Briggs Last Drive in.

Have seen some old school stuff. Blood sucking freaks, Chopping Mall, Deep Red, Maniac, Heathers, Brain Damage. I think Tromas War is on my cue for tonight.

Some really weird stuff. Plenty of times I am hoping no one walks into the room during certain scenes.

 
After Midnight

Story about a kind of redneck loser who’s girlfriend leaves him for a little while and begins to go crazy insisting that some nasty creature is attacking his house every night trying to get to him. It’s a slow burn movie with an awesome ending. Worth a watch imo. 3.5/5.

 
Come to Daddy (Prime video)

Kind of a horror-comedy I think. Norval (Elijah Wood) travels to a remote cabin to reconnect with his estranged father. Big fan of Elijah Wood and he is great in this. Not going to say too much except this did not go in the direction I thought it would. 7/10

 
I saw Better Watch Out on Amazon Prime.  Christmas-themed home invasion style horror.  Worth a look.  However, if you watch this, do not watch the trailer first as it gives too much away (I was lucky and only saw the trailer afterwards).

 
GF and I watched The Lodge tonight (Hulu) and both liked it. This one started a bit slow but once it got going kept us guessing and wasn’t really sure what was going on until close to the end. Worth a watch for sure 6.5/10

 
I watched The Lobster on Netflix. More dystopian than horror but some in here may enjoy it. Same director as killing a sacred deer which I also recommend. I have Dogtooth next which is the same director again.
