drnkirishone Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 I agree with the idea that you may not like mad max because films are not made with the same pacing anymore. moviegoers have been conditioned with movies that try to jam as much into as little space as possible. Quote

Start with the Evil Dead Trilogy and add Devil's Rejects, Feast, Eden Lake, Funny Games, P2, The Hitcher, 30 Days of Night, Kalifornia, the Midnight Meat Train, the Mist, Natural Born Killers, Pathology, I Spit on Your Grave (remake), and the Signal to your watch list and even though they aren't horror movies add in Law Abiding Citizen, Kill the Irishman, and Death Sentence just for good measure.

qwksndmonster Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 The horror movies that got consideration on my list are The Ring (2002), The Babadook (2013), The Invitation (2015), The Witch (2016), and Get Out (2017). I've seen a painfully small amount of older horror films. Quote

I've seen a painfully small amount of older horror films. Oh, man, you are missing out then. Horror is my favorite genre, followed by comedy, and when you can mix the two the way the Evil Dead trilogy does (Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness, the remake from 2013 is straight horror without the comedy) then you are really striking gold. If you're interested in watching any of the ones I listed and you want a brief synopsis I'll be happy to give you one. Quote

josie Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 I feel like most of my entries on such a list would be animated films.... :blush: Quote
qwksndmonster Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 I feel like most of my entries on such a list would be animated films.... :blush:/incoming shame The only Miyazaki I've seen is Ponyo. I've gotta lotta work to do. Quote
josie Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 /incoming shame The only Miyazaki I've seen is Ponyo. I've gotta lotta work to do. I've got shame too. I haven't seen them all, and apparently that's a crime for an art kid.... Ponyo's good though. Very weird. Took me a few watches. Was definitely one of those "ohhh uhhh ok, well, that's pretty, alrighty Miyazaki, I don't quite get it but apparently you do... maybe i'll figure it out someday.. oh hey it's a David Bowie water wizard!" Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, and Kiki's Delivery Service are my favorites. Totoro/Kiki are more for kids in spirit. Mononoke shoves the message in your face and rubs it around, but I still think it's gorgeous. 5th grade me fell in love with it. The Wind Rises is gorgeous but very long. Very artsy. But there's lots of airplanes so I'm good. I haven't seen Nausicaa or Porco Rosso or Arietty. Quote
Drunkard Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 No offense to Drunkard but I'm not watching any horror movie he likes. Lol You're missing out. Those are some great horror flicks and they offer a mix between various horror genres. For example, I Spit on your Grave is an awesome horror flick about a chick who gets assaulted by a bunch of rubes in a hick town and she escapes only to plot her revenge in awesome fashion. The Mist is a supernatural type movie based on a Stephen King book where a rip occurs in space/time which allows all these crazy monsters to enter our dimension. If you're a Walking Dead fan the actors who play Dale, Andrea, and Carol all have parts. Most people love this movie but hate the ending. To me, the ending makes it better. The Signal is a weirdly awesome movie that involves most of the population turning various levels of psychotic based on a weird signal that starts making it way across the world through tv and radio signals. 30 days of Night is probably the best vampire movie I've ever seen set in some small town in Alaska right after the place goes into complete darkness for a month. Feast was made by a group of people who won some kind of tv show contest where the winning group of aspiring actors, directors, and producers received the funding to make their own movie. The others are more traditional ax murderer/slasher type films without any supernatural elements. Quote
Stoner Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 I didn't like the Babadook remake of 2015. Quote

I spit on your grave brings back some memories of my youth, I'm with you Drunkard horror gets my blood flowing. Not so much the slasher at the lake variety. Anything that doesn't follow that tired old formula . Quote
Drunkard Posted March 24, 2017 Report Posted March 24, 2017 I spit on your grave brings back some memories of my youth, I'm with you Drunkard horror gets my blood flowing. Not so much the slasher at the lake variety. Anything that doesn't follow that tired old formula . I've seen the original I spit on your grave from the 70's but I think the remake from 2010 was better just because it has a much darker feel and better acting. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend Eden Lake. It's about a couple in England or Australia or some place with the British accents that goes camping on a lake. This couple gets absolutely terrorized by a group of teenagers and fights back. It's not the campy slashy type despite the lake setting. The Signal is awesome too but in sort of a funny wtf type way. The ending was disappointing but the rest of it was great. It's way funnier if you're inebriated in some way. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Posted March 24, 2017 The only horror movie worth a damn is The Omen (the original). Quote
Drunkard Posted March 24, 2017 Report Posted March 24, 2017 The only horror movie worth a damn is The Omen (the original). That's a great movie and a classis for a reason, but if you're going to give up on a entire genre besides one classic you're going to miss out on a ton of great stuff. Quote
GoPre Posted March 24, 2017 Report Posted March 24, 2017 The movie It did a number on me when I was a young kid. Damn clown.... Quote

darksabre Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 We rented Arrival on red box tonight. I really liked it. Apparently a lot of other people don't. That's too bad. Quote

One of those movies that you either like or don't like. Not really an in between. I know someone who is into movies like Arrival. But he fell asleep watching it. I haven't seen it yet. Hoping I'm on the like side. Quote

I know someone who is into movies like Arrival. But he fell asleep watching it. I haven't seen it yet. Hoping I'm on the like side. I found it very captivating. I enjoyed trying to solve the puzzles. It wasn't an action movie by any means though, so if that's what you're expecting you'll be let down. Quote
