The Horror Thread: Part 3D • Page 146

Margot Kidder is just so, so funny and perfect for the role in Black Christmas. Rest in Power to a real one

 

Silent Night, Deadly Night is goated. Great kills, unsettling acting and some pretty funny dialogue. Can’t wait to watch the remake when it comes out on digital.

 

The Corey Feldman documentary is insane.

 

Is it only PVOD or is there somewhere else to watch it?

 

Happy Garbage Day to all who celebrate.

 

Happy Holidays everyone!! For those interested, let's plan on having lists of up to 15 favorite horror films (ranked 1-15) from 2025 posted in here by New Year's Day. If we want to discuss how they're tabulated until then, we definitely can. Then, sometime between New Year's Day and the 2nd, I'll post the results for the Horror Thread's Annual Top 10(ish) Horror Films of the Year :)

I know I would still like to squeeze in Queens of the Dead, Man Finds Tape, It Ends, and Horror in the High Desert 4 before the deadline... then, to a lesser extent, if I have time (I won't lol), The Toxic Avenger and The Long Walk, maybe.

 

Hoping to get a few in myself before a list too but idk

 

Honorable mention to the ones I saw at festivals, New Group, the Holy Boy, Anything That Moves, and Marama, all pretty good and I'd probably rank in that order. Hope they get actual releases soon. I am including It Ends which is out on the LetterBoxd video thing at least.

15. Clown in a Cornfield
14. VHS Halloween
13. Match

12. It Ends
11. Death of A Unicorn
10. Opus

9. Black Phone 2
8. Influencers

7. The Ugly Stepsister
6. Together
5. Final Destination: Bloodlines
4. Companion

3. Sinners
2. Bring Her Back
1. Weapons

 

my exact order!

 

really? double this one then I guess

 

I've been slacking on Frankenstein. Other than that I think the list I made a few months ago still stands. SNDN was bonkers fun but I don't think it broke into the top fifteen

 

1. Bring her Back
2. Sinners
3. The Long Walk
4. Frankenstein
5. Keeper
6. The Monkey
7. Final Destination Bloodlines
8. Companion
9. 28 Years Later
10. Together
11. Weapons
12. Black Phone 2
13. VHS Halloween
14. I Know What You Did Last Summer
15. Death of a Unicorn

real stretch to get to 15 lmao

 

1. Sinners
2. The Long Walk
3. Weapons
4. Final Destination Bloodlines
5. Strange Harvest
6. Bring Her Back
7. Companion
8. Bone Lake
9. Together
10. Heart Eyes
11. I know What You Did Last Summer
12. 28 Years Later
13. Influencers
14. Good Boy
15. Dangerous Animals


Pretty good year for horror despite some disappointments for me (The Monkey, Death of a Unicorn, Shelby Oaks).

 

forgot 28 Years Later on mine, cuff me boys

 

I.should reiterate that you can list up to 15 films - don't feel like you have to stretch if you've only got 10 worth listing

 

:'(

 

are we counting Bugonia as a horror movie? and Predator Badlands? (for ranking purposes)

 

I think I only saw 14 this year. Didn't love the bottom 3 but all are worth watching.

1. Weapons
2. 28 Years Later
3. Sinners
4. Final Destination Bloodlines
5. Clown in a Cornfield
6. Strange Harvest
7. I Know What You Did Last Summer
8. Companion
9. VHS Halloween
10. Wolf Man
11. Toxic Avenger
12. Good Boy
13. The Woman in the Yard
14. The Monkey

 

I wouldn’t count Bugonia, I just sorted by what Letterboxd counted when I sorted by horror

 

1. Weapons
2. Sinners
3. Bring Her Back
4. Companion
5. Ugly Stepsister
6. Strange Harvest
7. Clown in a Cornfield
8. It Ends
9. 28 Years Later
10. Good Boy

 

Always hard to figure out with these things. I would probably go off Letterboxd too -- I think Bugonia is definitely more horror-codes than Badlands -- but I have the same question about something every year. Last year it was Stranger Darling and Beau is Afraid, which I would consider a thriller and a comedy (respectively), this year it's Companion, which feels horror-adjacent but also more of a dark comedy-sci-fi-thriller? Idk. Do what feels right

 

I am halfway into It Ends and fucking with it heavily

 

Watching Influencers right now. Might do It Ends next.
