The Horror Thread 2U • Page 918

They’re both in my top movies of the year, so it’s tough. I just liked Madison’s performance more even if the Substance was my favorite, she really carries the whole thing in such a beautiful way. Great films, I’ll be mad if anyone else wins.

 

I still haven’t watched either movie because my mental health frankly sucks, so I barely watch stuff, but it just sucks that it has to come down to a legacy performance and a breakthrough one. Hopefully I get to them before then, but I just hope the better performance wins.

 

wishing you well

 

Appreciate it!

 

part of me thinks that the other nominees might also have slightly higher chances than expected (even if i do agree that it'll come down to Demi and Mikey). i think it's somewhat slimmer for Cynthia but not outside the realm of possibility, and unfortunately the Academy's love of Emilia Pérez might do something for Karla.

 

Do whatever you need to take care of yourself, buddy!

 

I do think it’s great that a horror film is getting this much recognition, they’re usually so ignored. It’s a great time to be a horror freak.

 

Will do, thank you! I finally got back into gaming the last couple weeks, so I’m slowly trying to build my motivation and stuff back up. It’s probably an attention thing just as much too.

 

Toni Collette deserved that Oscar. A hill I will gladly die on

 

I love Frances McDormand but Toni not even getting a nomination was a travesty.

 

well Red Rooms certainly lived up to the hype

 

So happy for James, Chelsea, and team. Honestly surprised it took this long.

 

I kinda loved Presence. Can see a lot of people wanting more from it though

 

I was thinking of a fun question.. what do you all consider to be the most recent true “horror classic?”

 

in terms of impact probably It Follows although there's stuff I've liked more since

 

Is 11 years ago recent though?

 

Well..I guess the term, “recent,” is relative. I didn’t want to put parameters on it because I’m genuinely curious to see what this thread’s takes are.

 

I assumed they meant relative to like the classics from the 70s/80s haha

 

If the Substance is a modern classic and I’d love if she won best director

Get Out is an obvious pick along with Hereditary. Nope and Midsommar have a case too.

most of the others I’d consider are more cult classics, less mainstream horror must-sees.

 

That’s the beauty of the question. It’s all in the eye of the beholder. If I had to pick 5 from 1990 on:

Hereditary
Saw
Scream
Get Out
Candyman

 

I just finished watching Your Monster for the first time. I loved ittt!

 

Your Monster is great, was so impressed by it

 

Oh I know, I just wanted to make us all feel old. Lol

 

Get Out is the first one that comes to mind.
