Fantastic French horror, but horrifically violent and will mess with your brain. Arguably forever.
Fun romp with a sexy leading lady. Not a horror but in that wheelhouse.
Based on Stephen King book. On Netflix. Very good.
I'm sure most of you have seen this. Another Stephen King adaptation. Fantastic.
It's very hard to get a hold of, and haven't had a chance myself to do so, but there's a Black & White version that supposedly was Frank Darabont's preferred approach - but the studio basically said "do this in colour or we're not releasing it".
The B&W version was released as part of a 2-Disc set when it was first put out on DVD; there seem to have been a couple of Bluray releases that include both versions.
For my money the B&W version is the way to go - aside from anything else the visual effects look more natural in black & white.
Yeah that's what I thought: it's the trick of finding those particular Blu-Rays that's the key!
Mine is 4k but no option to download, only states not available. So annoying.
I watched ‘No one will save you’. I really enjoyed it. There is almost no dialogue in it. The effects are good. The backstory is interesting and the main actress good. It’s about a woman that lives alone and has an alien break into her house. I’m surprised there wasn’t more interest in it.

Coming up to the Halloween season again.
Just watched Late Night with the Devil. I'd give it a 7/10. Mainly for an original idea but it does fizzle out somewhat toward the end. David Dastmalchian is excellent in the leading role.
Currently watching Pearl. On the fence so far, doesn't seem to be a patch on X.
Terrifier 3 coming out soon. 2 was very good even better than 1.
In A Violent Nature is on Shudder now (US anyway)
It's got a lot of silent walking sections that might seem a bit prolonged, but overall it's worth a watch… some very inventive death scenes
I found Pearl and X to be very different films, probably a bit hard to compare both. I was a bit disappointed in Maxxxine, it started great with the seedy 80's style but went a bit downhill in the second half for me.
Haven't watched that as I missed out on Pearl when it was released. How would you rate the first 2 movies?
Interesting to get the backstory on Pearl and Howard but it wasn't a great movie overall. Mia Goth was great though.
I liked both X and Pearl, both 7/10 for me. I probably preferred X as I liked the horror/slasher theme along and of course it had other ideas of youth/aging etc.
Was just thinking of this thread.
Have watched X but haven't watched Pearl or Maxxxine yet.
Have been watching Shudder's "Horror's Greatest" series and some films I haven't seen that looked interesting. So far they've covered Tropes and cliches, Giant monsters, Japanese Horror and Comedy.
Was trying to think what's the best horror film series.
I still think the Haunting of Hill House is the best horror series I've seen. I couldn't even get through Bly Manor though.
Midnight Mass was fantastic too. Excellent performance from Hamish Linklater.
I think Flanagan is a bit hit and miss.
Sorry, I just meant film series like Nightmare on Elm St, Paranormal Activity, etc. Think all have had their misses. Have only seen the first 2 PA films. Keep meaning to go back to them and maybe the Conjuring series since only seen the first one.
Ah okay apologies I misunderstood your post.
For me I'd probably say Insidious/Conjuring would be the best and mostly consistent. Although the Last Key and The Red Door did let it down a bit.
The Alien series I really love and enjoyed Romulus in the cinema last week. Maybe being pedantic it's not strictly horror.
Halloween series is good, love Season of the Witch (part 3)
Conjuring series is good too.
Nightmare on Elm St was probably more good than bad though only just about I think.
I liked all the Child's Play films.
Saw was more hit than miss.
Final Destination was mostly enjoyable.
I'm sure I've seen other complete series but can't think offhand.
Any decent creature feature/animal attacks/monster movies out the past year or two? They're a particular favourite of mine, but they don't make them like they used to™!
Not sure if I found it in this thread but watched "Session 9" (2001) a year or two ago and thought it was quite good. About an asbestos removal company contracted to an old psychiatric hospital.
Crawl, Hatching, Nope, Barbarian, Malignant, Antlers
Cheers - have seen most of them but will check out Hatching and Malignant. 👍
Malignant...is....a....lot lol
I forgot Backcountry and Cocaine Bear, in case you haven't seen those
The last 20 minutes are 👌
Ha ha just a bit...I literally gasped out loud at one bit
