Sorry, travel and work kept me from reworking my list for a resubmittal. This was a lot of fun, and my JustWatch queue is pretty full of movies from this list right now. I'll work my way through more over time, but I can't really binge horror that well. I get a little freaked out by some of the haunted bits.

We enjoyed it.
Her going back once to get her belongings was not far fetched imo. She wanted out badly but got talked/begged into staying. Not the most egregious thing I've seen in horror movies.

Great range of acting, from Invasion of the Body Snatchers to playing the original Hawkeye in the movie M*A*S*H.

Reaction? It's in my queue.

Disturbing.
My wife went to bed upset because of the ending.
Definitely worth a watch, but much like The Sadness, it won't be on my re-watch list.

This was quite a bit better than i expected. Really glad i put it on.
I did literally LOL when Franky tossed the girl in the lake.

Did they actually show her tossing her into the lake? They didn't used to include that scene. Just her father carrying after she drowned

Totally caught me off guard.

Just watched this last night - while ridiculous on many levels, I was surprised it did not make the top 200 horror movie list. It was definitely creepy and had a "twist" end.

The part where the monster throws the girl into the lake terrified my son when he watched Frankenstein. I didn't expect that to be scary, but it was to a little kid.Did they actually show her tossing her into the lake? They didn't used to include that scene. Just her father carrying after she drowned

Personally, this one fell just outside of it. I thought it would make many other folks' lists and it really didn't for the most part. Out of 470 movies submitted across all the lists, it ranked 321. I agree it's too low.

I recognize I have a bias against movies that peak too early. The rest of the film can't match the first 20 minutes IMO

I'm trying to put together a little syllabus of movies that I can watch this October. Most of these will be watched with my wife, who is not a huge horror fan but not opposed to the genre either. She likes Halloween, for example, but would not like something heavier like Hereditary. I was sort of thinking along these lines, not necessarily in this order:
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
X
Pearl (these first three are an unofficial trilogy in my mind -- I assume Maxxxine will not be free anyplace by next month)
The Wicker Man
Midsommar (again, a made-up pairing)
Halloween
It Follows
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Rosemary's Baby
[REC] (may be too much for Mrs. K)
The Taking of Deborah Logan (ditto)
Bone Tomahawk (fine except for that one part)
There are really only a few intense movies here, and I think it has a decent mix of older and newer films. She'll definitely like Body Snatchers and Rosemary's Baby.
Edit: Apparently Maxxxine is hitting Max (of course) in mid-October, so that part of my plan should work out well.

I’ve been introducing horror comedy to my kids.
House
Evil Dead 2
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Bloodsucking Bastards
Just a few they really liked.

No One Will Save You was pretty unique and not overly intense.

What? That movie is awesome.

Interesting -- my experience with [REC] and subtitles was the opposite. I actually have this one as a movie where I stop noticing the subtitles after the first few minutes.
What I dislike are complicated dramas where I really have to pay attention to who is who, and who is saying what to whom, and then I actually have to read the subtitles with intent. That pulls me out of the film and tends to make it boring. A fast-moving film like [REC] doesn't suffer from that problem.
Just my two cents.

Sorry, I thought it was weird drivel.

Not sure about movies being ruined, but a few of them will ruin you. #Eden lake #The Sadness

I've been really looking forward to this coming out. But when I saw it was going straight to streaming I had a feeling that it wasn't going to live up to my expectations. The book is one of my all time favorites, but neither of the miniseries (Hutch? Sam Seaborne?
) did it for me. This movie is better than them, but it really could use another hour-ish run time/limited series time to really bring the story to life.It didn't "suck", but it definitely lacked "bite"

I browsed the list! Even though Zombie movies are listed as horror, they feel much more like action movies at least things like Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead but that's likely due to tone.

Also a little surprised that this cult classic didn't make the cut.

Watched It Follows last night. This was really Top 25?
I mean it was fine, but nothing special

I'm one of the people who didn't put it in my (admittedly weird) rankings... I felt the acting was poor, the sound and camera angles seemed off (I suppose that could have been intentional, but it felt amateurish to me), and the finale didn't make a ton of sense given what we had learned earlier in the movie. I didn't dislike it, just didn't feel it was special.
Dr. Octopus

I just watched last night and I agree that it was better than the original Predator (if you discount the nostalgia). It’s just a better and more interesting movie all around and the violence is way above Arnold’s version.

If you missed it in theaters, Alien Romulus is now on Hulu.

Any non-spoilery opinions on this one?

I really liked it. Best since Aliens for me.

It was good, but ultimately forgettable to me. They really need to try something new in this universe. They were starting to with Prometheus but that movie was a disaster, and the idea went nowhere.

Third best of the franchise for me.
