I know you weren't asking me, but I"m kind of a horror movie fanatic! I highly recommend: VHS 1 and 2 (so many good short films in all of these) Don't Breathe (more thriller than horror but still) 30 Days of Night Cabin in the Woods (more comedy than horror, but very entertaining nonetheless) The Babadook (one of the best dramatic horror films ever made) Trick 'R Treat 28 Days Later Check any of these out for a good time if you haven't seen any yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanni Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 @katchitup Thank you! I don’t think I’ve seen any of them! I just watched The Curse (Noroi) which is a Japanese horror film. Have you seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to find it online sometime. Looks like a good found footage horror film What kind of horror movies do you like? I can recommend which of the ones I listed above you should watch first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, there has been problems with releasing the film in America so it’s like a hidden gem among horror fans. They post the film on different sites so that more people can discover it. I tend to find supernatural movies the scariest! Such as the Spanish film REC. It being another found footage style film is a coincidence though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It being another found footage style film is a coincidence though I'll have to Youtube it on a day off VHS 1 and 2 are found footage type horror movies, and both are so unique, a must watch for any horror movie fan. They are horror anthologies so each movie has like 5 little movies in it, all with different monsters or scary situations, all by different directors which was kind of cool. Some of the short films within those films were amazing, some I wish went on much longer (the first film in the first movie with the girl from the bar? Still gives me the creeps ) The Babadook is probably the best made film that I listed above. I would actually say its alot more of a drama than it is a horror, but really great plot and symbolism throughout the movie. Great acting too. This is the type of movie to win awards and all that jazz. 28 Days Later- Hands down probably one of the best, if not the best, zombie movie! 30 Days of Night- One of my favorite Vampire movies. The styling of the vampires is very scary and realistic, I also like the setting of Alaska during 30 days of no sunlight. Don't breathe- Best horror film of the past year IMO. Though its more of a thriller, the acting in it is so good, and is so suspenseful. Jane Levy is a really underrated actress, and Dylan Minnette is very talented, I Can see him becoming a respected actor in the future of his career. Just google these film titles and you'll see what they are all about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanni Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thank you, @katchitup! Definitely let me know what you think of The Curse once you’ve seen it! I haven’t seen 28 Days Later but I have seen 28 Weeks Later and I recommend it as well! Have you seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VS19 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 On 5/21/2017 at 7:26 PM, Sanni said: Before watching the film, I was under the misconception that the one who ended up being the final girl would become a villain and that another character would be the final girl. So, it was confusing to me to watch the film because certain things pointed to the actual final girl being the heroine but the other one had her moments too. Now I think it’s further proof of the writing for the female characters being more complex than usual in horror movies! Do you have any horror movie recommendations, @VS19? Sorry for the delay @Sanni. Had started to reply the other night but got sidetracked. There are a lot of great horror films out there, it really just comes down to what what your own personal preferences are. I would contend that you can't really go wrong with any of the classic films in the genre, like John Carpenter's Halloween, The Exorcist, A Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. As @katchitup already pointed out, The Babadook is a modern horror film that warrants a viewing. There have also been some rather good horror films that are true throwbacks to the style of horror filmmaking that we saw in the 70s and 80s from directors like John Carpenter. Ti West has directed a couple of those that are worth checking out. His House of the Devil is a tremendous horror film. It's a slow-burn, but the tension keeps ratcheting upward as the film slowly progresses towards its finale, and I didn't realize how uncomfortable it was making me until I had to pause it for some reason and found myself actually sitting up on the edge of my seat. West also directed The Innkeepers, which is another slow-burn horror film. It's not quite as good as House of the Devil, but it's still pretty good in its own rite. We Are Still Here is another film of this type that I would recommend as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombieland is great but it's a comedy so it's not the same thing. 8 hours ago, Sanni said: I haven’t seen 28 Days Later but I have seen 28 Weeks Later and I recommend it as well! Have you seen it? 28 Weeks Later has the same problem that most sequels do in that it's hard to be new/original the second time around. I'm not sure how that changes when you watch 28 Week Later first. I did like it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it was said above, 28 weeks later is really good (especially considering sequels are never that good, let alone horror movie sequels!) but I still think 28 days later is better. Better characters and storyline, not to say the sequel didn't have good ones either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, well, it wasn’t scary to me but it had some intense moments and twists and a couple of jump scares that I fell for I guess it was a bit difficult for me to connect with their plight because they weren’t exactly in the right either.

Cult Icon Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think 28 days later started the whole trend of 'fast zombies' in films and TV. Another good cult horror movie is "Dog Soldiers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been quite a while since I've seen it, but I remember it being quite good. I think there were some disagreements online about whether or not they stuck the landing at the end of the film, but regardless, it's a pretty good film. A real throwback.
