The Horror Thread: Part 3D • Page 42

i jokingly called the philippous dumb youtube bros on here and got called out but then a week or two later i stumbled onto a youtube interview with both of them and realized i was actually right lol

 

And nobody outside of online horror nerds knew who he was. To most cinematic observers outside that small bubble Ti West is a 2020's horror guy.

Feeling like we're being pedantic and turning a mountain into a molehill here. You knew what I meant.

 

With respect, Ti West was a big enough name after House of the Devil that there was A LOT of hype for The Innkeepers and even when that was considered a letdown he had enough goodwill that subsequent releases were pretty heavily anticipated until they suddenly were not, before the obvious comeback with the X trilogy. But maybe I was also just deep in the horror thread bubble and none of this was actually happening outside of that, idk.

Speaking of, I’m still so bummed by how much I disliked Maxxxine.

 

Hated Longlegs. Way too brooding and self serious yet wasn’t scary or interesting (?) imo and the twist was not well done.


Funny enough I started The Monkey this morning and just the tone and forced dialogue actually seem to fit this story.

 

Was Perkins involved in The Blackcoats Daughter? Cuz that film in fact rips

 

yup. that's one of his better films

 

Gretel & Hansel low-key underrated

 

Also, MaXXXine rocks

 

@Aaron Mook

 

If Longlegs is bonkers in a way I don't love, MaXXXine is bonkers in a way I do. Misunderstood imo!

 

I am entertained by The Monkey a lot. This one doesn't take itself seriously and I like that. Pretty solid addition to the King adaptation-verse.

 

Join us for Gore-Us.

 

Maybe

 

I am now watching Evil Dead Rise

 

I have so much to catch up on. This is the summer of blind spots. I need to see:
Longlegs
The Monkey
FD Bloodlines
Nosferatu
Under the Skin
The 28 Days movies (all)

 

That’s a great list. I enjoyed or loved each of those guys

 

What should I make my priority

 

My order would be:

Bloodlines
Nosferatu
28 Days/Weeks/Years
Monkey
Longlegs
Skin

 

2025 top 10 update:

1. Weapons
2. Bring Her Back
3. Sinners
4. Together
5. Companion
6. Final Destination Bloodlines
7. Ugly StepSister
8. Opus
9. Death of a Unicorn
10. 28 Years Later

 

That’s mine too! Absolutely adored Weapons. So happy it lived up to the hype!!

 

Perfect order if you want to watch all these

I’d maybe start with 28 Days then watch a movie between each one, if you don’t want to watch em all in a row

 

Bro absolutely check out 28 Days and Under The Skin first the fuck

 

Huge blindspots

 

Under the Skin
