I don't consider myself a big horror fan and I dislike slash films but I actually love this movie and is one of the few dvds I own.Identity (Paramount+): 2004 thriller, I'll put it in the horror category due to feel and the final scene. IMDB 7.3, with a really good cast: John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, John C McGinley. Two parallel stories happening:
1. A smattering of people end up in a hotel during a storm, and some slasher is killing them off.
2. A hearing is happening for a murderer to see if he's crazy or not.
This is my second time seeing this movie. I remembered the basics of how those people in the hotel are linked and what's going on, but no details of who's next or how anything happened. This was a good rewatch. JCMcGinley's character was a bit annoying (intentionally, but still annoying), otherwise I thought the acting was good. It was well made. Give it a watch.
I was entertained by this movie. The town were kind of a bag of dicks, so the ending sat ok with me.No One Will Save You (Hulu): 2023 alien horror movie, IMDB 6.3. A young woman lives in an isolated old house. Her mother has recently died and she’s shunned by the townsfolk for seemingly causing the death of her best friend years ago. She’s very alone. An alien shows up in her house one night and she tries to survive.
There’s no dialogue in this movie. I think one 3-word sentence is all we get. The aliens are very alien - the effects aren’t top notch but the creature design was neat.
I had to read the wiki article to sort out the ending, and it seems a little too tidy, but I liked the movie. I’d say it’s got a lot in common with A Quiet Place.
This was awesome. Cannot wait to watch it again.Seeing Nosferatu tonight![]()
I was wondering how this got in my queue, it’s probably from this. I watched tonight and liked it. The final conversation and look on his face was pretty great. We’ve been trained to expect a different ending, this surprised by not following the usual couple of paths.10th - What You Wish For (Hulu) Grade B+
Big fan, #21 on my horror listThe Descent (Plex): 2005 movie, IMDB 7.2. Six lady friends go caving, hijinks ensue. This was my second time watching this movie. I think it's great - very squelchy, the blood is very red in an otherwise dark gray movie other than torches and glow sticks, the violence is abrupt and extreme. The camaraderie of the cast feels real. I have no intention of watching the sequel, but this was a good rewatch.
I've heard the UK ending is different an have heard a description of it, but I've seen the US version both times. The final scene is stupid, but that doesn't ruin a movie I really like. Caving is horrifying to me to begin with, as I have a touch of claustrophobia. Squeezing through something like that is horrifying. I guess I've squeezed under a pipe on a ship where I had to exhale to wriggle through, but that's a controlled smooth environment. Doing that in a natural rugged cave... ugh. The first half of this movie is just as creepy as the second half.

Agreed - I don't mind that it was made, and I don't regret watching it, but I can't recommend it because it's just too icky.Deadgirl - A very disturbing premise for a movie but seems like it was written and produced by a bunch of 14 year old boys. In the right hands, this might have been handled in a way to address some societal issues but was wasted here. It's actually a unique take on the zombie genre, which I haven't seen before, but it's not really a zombie movie. Besides the horrible acting and actors that are way too old to be high schoolers, there's no indication how this all came to be, no apparent concerns at school and there doesn't seem to be a police department. Even with the disturbing content, which is hard to look past, the movie just isn't good.
Funny - I listened to an episode of Evolution of Horror podcast today that talked about this movie (Folk Horror also-rans).Terrified - (Shudder) Argentianian horror, plenty of cool, creepy moments, plot felt reasonably disjointed and very little character development, yet it still worked. Doesn't hurt that I'm a sucker for flicks with bad stuff hiding under the bed and man this had some bad stuff hiding under the bed, plus the dead boy. That freaking dead boy.
Really like this movie. That IMDB rating is hog wash imoThe Ritual (Netflix): 2017, IMDB 6.3. A group of old college friends reunite for a trip to a most dangerous country in Europe - Sweden, encountering a menacing presence there stalking them.
This was a folk horror movie with some witchcraft in the background. Properly creepy and menacing. The ending was a little surprising, and I have to wonder what happens after the end of the movie.
I liked it. I don't really think there were any jump scares, and I don't think it's the sort that will stick with me and make me afraid of the dark, but we'll see how the next trip through the woods to the inlaws' house next door goes.Rituals, where the guy returns with colonial marines to wipe out the creature?
Really? I thought the majority agreed it was overrated and not very good?Longlegs hit Hulu on Friday. I saw this at the theater and the wife has already seen it twice on streaming and talks about it a lot
I watched it last night.Nosferatu out today on Peacock![]()
You're not the first person to say this. BummerThe new Fear Street offering (prom night) on Netflix was pretty weak. I really liked the original trilogy, but this one didn't have any of the charm (besides some 80s needle drops) or mythology.
