The beginning we have a family moving into a new town, with them stopping at a stop light, with an Officer (female) greeting them to this town. The family then get to their new home, the kids run inside with the parents taking in at what the house looks like from the outside. They get inside and get comfortable.
I sometimes get the urge to do horror marathons alone, so I decided to catch up with recent horror movies which flew under my radar. I started with *The Gorge*, which is a pretty cool romance/action-adventure flick with a horror theme (rather than straight-out horror) but it most definitely didn't prepare me for the psychological assault which is *Bring Her Back*. I had to stop after watching it. I struggled to sleep, and, I don't know why, but I just had to rewatch it immediately after waking up.
Why theory is omaybe my favourite podcast and I just had to share this. A very academic approach to their analysis and heavily focus on psychoanalysis.
Great film, really nails the characters and atmosphere. Probably one of the saddest endings I’ve seen in a film in a while. I’m curious what others thought of the film.
I've been taking a "mental break" from horror on account of some personal jim-jam. But little bits keep floating up here and there. And one that keeps floating to the surface over and over again is Titane. On account of it being one of the most surreal flicks I think I've ever seen. Just really out there, and I remember watching it. Turning back around, and giving it a second go right then and there because it was just absolutely flabbergasting. So in my current state - can someone please tell me that it wasn't all just a fever dream and that Titane is absolutely 100% real and fucking phenomenally weird =P!?
It has the occasional humorous moment and overall was an enjoyable watch. It kept my interest the entire time largely due to it steering clear of too many typical horror tropes and how unpredictable it was.
A mixture of H.P. Lovecraft’s From Beyond, The Blair Witch Project, and the real-life Project MKUltra experiments conducted by the U.S. Government from the 1950s to early 1970s, Banshee Chapter is an impressively adept and character-focused horror movie.
There’s nothing I find so cheering, these days, as the rise of the horror movie. Take its intrusion into this year’s summer blockbusters. We have the usual soulless franchises and deadly repeats – Despicable Me 4, Deadpool 3, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Bad Boys: Ride or Die – and then we have a flicker of light in the dark. Turns out that audiences do want new stories, they do want new characters, and they do want inventive film-making after all. Because a genuinely imaginative – arthouse, even – movie is predicted to draw in big audiences and make a great deal of money. It has come in the form of a horror film: Longlegs.
Particularly zombie apocalypse, but also more generally as well. Many seem to be about post-apocalypse, but the chaos and confusion at the beginning seems like such a fruitful idea. Yet that’s so rarely done/done well as far as I know for zombie movie/shows, except for shows like Dead Set UK. Is it because of the budget, or that such shows/movies cannot be milked forever like TWD?
Set in Los Angeles in the late 1990s, the comedy-horror-romance movie follows a struggling writer named James Bishop, who is dealing with a messy breakup with the help of his best friend while trying to finish his latest book before the impending nuclear zombie apocalypse.
Before Jigsaw, Pennywise, and Ghostface, there was Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man. Yeah, horror movies and their monsters were more about creaky doors, freaky costumes, and spooky atmospheres than green-screen frights, puzzling torture porn, and high-octane mayhem.
Link - Cosmic horror has been established as one of the most chilling sub-genres in horror cinema. With a focus on the unknown, isolation, and the human mind, cosmic horror plays on the imaginations of audiences rather than going all out on gore and jump scares. Instead of ghosts, serial killers, or vampires, these stories focus on the endless possibilities of the universe's fictional horrors.
As with most films I went into this completely blind and it turned out to be one of my favorites of 2023. While not super original, the acting is top notch, set design is phenomenal, and atmosphere is pretty unsettling at times.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into theaters… Cineverse, in partnership with Bloody Disgusting, announce the return of the unrated mega-slasher Terrifier 2 to theaters nationwide beginning November 1. That’s right, we’re extending the Halloween season this year, bringing Art the Clown back to the big screen for the hit sequel’s 1-year anniversary!
Although Hammer usually receives the bulk of the recognition, there would be no real British horror movie scene without Amicus Productions. Between 1962 and 1977, Amicus produced 28 movies, many of which have become cult classics. The Psychopath. The Deadly Bees. And Now the Screaming Starts! Fine films, all.
Two good movies I've seen recently are Trench 11 (this one is a real hidden gem and can be streamed for free on Tubi), and Overlord. Both are horror/scifi period pieces set in world war 1 and 2 respectively. I love the mixture of gritty realism and fantastical horror and was wondering if anyone had some other recommendations.
Not a horror aficionado ... I just know that I like it and need more of it in my life (unfortunately my partner just doesn't really have time/interest in it).
