The Horror Thread [ARCHIVED] Movie • Page 142

is that a good thing

 

I love the x-files. So, yeah.

 

Favorites this year were

Green Room
Hush
Witch
Blair Witch
Invitation
Lights Out

 

As with any anthology, some of episodes fare better than others. If you love Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt, it's worth the investment - though it's not as strong as either of those. Lots of good guest stars and talented creatives involved.

 

How's beyond the gates?

Also I need a good Christmas horror list that doesn't include rare exports or krampus

 

I thought Beyond the Gates was a lot of fun. Here's my review.

 

oh damn I really need to watch this now

 

Ok I have four more Silent Night Deadly Night movies to watch this week, here goes part 3

 

Garbage day!

 

That's part 2, that glory has passed

 

I am not a Serial Killer was ridiculous and wonderful. I definitely see the X files comparison, ha.

 

Happy birthday Scream

 

RIP Kenny the cameraman

taken before his time

 

1. 10 Cloverfield Lane
2. The Conjuring 2
3. The Witch
4. The Neon Demon
5. Green Room
6. Blair Witch
7. Don't Breathe
8. Ouija: Origin of Evil
9. The Wailing
10. The Lure

Honorable Mentions: Darling, The Shallows, Train To Busan, Under the Shadow, The Blackcoat's Daughter (February), Prevenge, The Invitation, The Eyes of My Mother.

Overall a strong year for horror imo.

 

Okay so Neon Demon was pretty but I just couldn't get into it. My attention span is always suspect, so maybe I need to watch it again. They'd clearly done what they did to younger Fanning many times, so why'd the one girl suddenly become remorseful and puke?
Edit added spoiler tags jic

 

Knock Knock was never very good, but the ending was...laughably bad. Then again, I don't know what possessed me to rent an erotic thriller directed by Eli Roth. Blech.

 

I liked it for the most part. I think it's Roth's strongest work from a filmmaking point of view (but Cabin Fever remains my favorite). But Keanu reached Nicolas Cage levels of camp.

 

Keanu's acting in Knock Knock was INTENTIONALLY bad, right? It felt very put-on, which made it hilarious.

 

I think it had to have been

I really hope so at least

 

A Christmas Horror Story was pretty good!

Silent Night Deadly Night 3 was the dullest thing ever

 

I do quarterly round-ups of the best new horror movies on Netflix for my site. The new installment posted today. I'd love your input. Maybe you'll find something new to check out.

 

Think I'm gonna check out The Good Neighbor, Sun Choke and A Christmas Horror Story over the next day or two. Thanks for the write up!

 

My pleasure! Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think of them.

 

Yeah, Keanu was rough (and I like him), but I also realized that the script only gave him so much to work with. Aside from the half-baked "moral" aspect of the film (which got more annoying hearing Roth try to explain it in the Making Of), I really just hate that he can't resist a "wink-wink-nudge-nudge" moment at the end of each of his films - even the self-proclaimed "serious, psychological" one.

 

Heh, on my list I actually made a note next to The Good Neighbor, "not a horror." Definitely a thriller, and one of the best movies I saw this year though

Edit: seriously if you haven't watched, go do it
