It's still a lot of fun to laugh your way through them

I always figured they were made for the kind of person who would screech if the lights go out unexpectedly.

[-] soloner@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

If you're on this binge and want some recs. "Talk to me" and "late night with the devil" are my favorites so far this year. "Longlegs" was really bad imo.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Longlegs could have been very good but they fucked it hard. The "lead" detective, the M. Night Shyamalan twist, and too much Cage hurt it bad. The final scene with Cage was amazing but that should have been the only real look at him.

"Late night with the devil" was really good. Touched enough points to be good but not over the top. Run time was perfect.

[-] Hugin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Late night with the devil was such a neat movie.

[-] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

It was so cool, but tripped at the finish, IMO. The first 85% was really cool, though!

[-] grff@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Talk to me was one of the first horror movies in a long long time that actually got to me, highly recommended if anyone is on the fence

[-] Lennny@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I found it super corny personally and knowing how it was going to end 20 minutes into it's showtime wasn't helpful in that opinion. I think I've just grown out of horror (not trying to say it's childish or anything just shit at phrasing). Main girl was very good though.

[-] grff@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Some parts were for sure, and I wasn't a fan of the ending either

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Been considering renting Talk To Me, these comments convinced me, thanks!

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

It is on Kanopy. Lot of good chills on Kanopy.

[-] soloner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That one scene in the bedroom got me good. Had some trouble being alone in the dark after that for several days. Thankfully I have doggies and a wife so not sleeping alone. I would have prob had to sleep with the lights on otherwise.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, really liked Talk to Me.

V/H/S Beyond is alright as well.

Salem's Lot is awful.

Quiet Place Day One was surprisingly decent.

Haven't got around to watching The Substance yet, but I've heard good things.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 1 year ago

So disappointed by 'Salem's Lot, and my expectations were not high.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

I can't believe they had the gall to release it in cinemas. It's got "straight to streaming" written all over it.

They must be actively trying to hurt theatres at this point.

[-] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I liked Longlegs

[-] yardratianSoma@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, longlegs didn't impress me either. Its a great looking film, with some decently creepy moments, and a cool setting, but yeah, in terms of horror, nothing new or particularly memorable.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

The first 15ish minutes of Longlegs are great but it just fizzles out over the remainder of its runtime imo

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Check out Smile (both of them) and The Substance

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Haven't seen the second one yet, but the scene where she was sitting in the car is one of my favorite horror moments.

[-] soloner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hahaha I just watched smile and yeah that was dope! I'll definitely check out the second one once it leaves theaters... Gonna start substance now.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like Substance and Smile 2 are a good double feature

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I couldn't get through Talk To Me.

The teenagers were written to be so off-puttingly obnoxious, I ended up walking out of the theater early. Loved the concept though.

My favorites this year have been the new V/H/S film, Abigail, and Festival of the Living Dead. All this talk of Salem's Lot makes me want to watch Midnight Mass again.

I know I'm the odd one out, but I haven't enjoyed most of the critically-acclaimed horror this year.

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Update, I rented “Late Night With The Devil” and yes, absolutely worth it

[-] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

It's like a slot machine, you just keep pushing that play button until you hit the jackpot.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

They're called comedies, not terrible movies.

[-] philycheeze@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Sometimes the terrible ones are the best ones!

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

How about terrible comedies?

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

As long as you're having a good time!

[-] Mim@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Kinda.
There are funny bad movies, and there are terrible bad movies.

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Remade this to improve image quality

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

To be fair, though, some of the bad ones are good precisely because they're so bad.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[-] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

It’s even worse when you include horror literature.

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I've been on a horror movie binge and can confirm this is true.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I watched all the Friday the 13th movies this month and there was not a good movie amongst them. 🤦

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That's how I found Llamageddon. No regrets.

[-] BigFatNips@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago
[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Llamageddonma balls.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Manos: The Hands of Fate

A Touch of Satan

[-] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Oddity

This was my most recent good horror movie discovery

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I heard that one was good, more of a slow burn, right? I'll watch it shortly!

[-] figjam@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

We are doing a lot of that this month. Last seen: The Fog

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That little kid was the epitome of cool in his day.

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you want a somewhat unknown, but fantastic Horror move (with Christopher Lee, John Carridine, Vincent Price, and Peter Cushing):

House of the Long Shadows (1983)
