Hannibal Rising is a slog. I'll try again to finish it tonight, but it's taking me like 4 sittings to finish.

 

Man. A Bucket of Blood is so good.

 

I still can’t believe Hannibal Rising exists.

 

Thought this was a pic from Barbarian

 

Does anyone have horror dealbreakers that they just can't watch because of certain fears or phobias?

Cause mine is anything with flesh eating dogs or anyone getting eaten alive by animals in general. I swear I died that way in another life cause I have an unreasonable aversion to that happening and am skeptical around new pets I meet

 

Kids tortured and killed and rape are really hard for me to watch or get through

 

Not that I ever loved it before, but the older I get its absolutely harder to watch kids harmed in movies. I will never watch the Georgie scene in It ever again.

 

Rape in horror movies is a big no for me.

 

Rape is the hardest for me to watch

 

rape is the biggest one for me

any film that shows scene after scene of surgical procedures is hard for me to sit through

 

No rape or rape revenge movies for me

 

I have a difficult time with bludgeoning. Not really a dealbreaker but it’s always the thing that affects me the most, physically speaking anyway

Like the stoning scene in Speak No Evil fucked with me 100x more than the tongue thing

 

I think over the top gore is easier to watch than something more grounded and realistic violence. Any sexual assault as a major plot point is too much for me.

 

Absolutely. The scene in Speak No Evil was way too realistic. Made me feel sick and not in a fun way.

 

Yeah that literally ruined my day the time I watched it

 

teeth breaking/cracking/scraping

 

Without spoiling, the thing I can’t handle in movies is exactly what happens at the end of Gerald’s Game. I very nearly threw up reading the book, so there’s no way I’m ever watching the movie.

 

Saw Friday the 13th for the first time, weird how few hockey mask wearing killers it has

 

You gotta crawl before you walk.

 

I feel like the first Hellraiser didn't have a lot of Cenobites

 

I really just loathe close-up shots of injections, like needles going into arms.

 

Revisited Underwater. Just a bummer because it's functional and completely watchable and even stylish at times, love Stewart and love the final creature reveal, but everything about it just feels so polished and like a knock-off of Cloverfield. Things happen, but none of it really feels exciting after that first scene. TJ Miller is distracting.

 

Pretty much how I feel about Underwater too

 

I liked KStew and that one actress whose name I can never remember

 

Showed friends Watcher, which they handled pretty well until the end. We've determined that repeated exposure to horror does not boost tolerance. We're still gonna keep watching stuff together tho so that's fun
