Good horror films

some select quotes.

"I woke up and there was something right here [points to side of tent]. I could hear it man, walking around."

"What's this vodoo shit?"

"What ever it, what ever the fuck it is, we're CLEARLY not wanted here so lets just get the fuck out."

"I gave you BACK THE MAP".

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?"

film buffs - watch it again. carefully. suspend disbelief. IT's a fucking brilliant film.

The Blair Witch Project
I have seen in many many times.
I don't think it's a masterpiece but it is very well done.
Apart from the whole motion sickness thing.
 
Underrated ? It's the most successful independent film of all time when it comes to the budget to profit ratio. It was also hugely influential in spawning an entire sub-genre of found footage horror films.
For some reason though everyone I know thinks it's shit. 'Nothing happens'. 'You don't see anything'.
 
I enjoyed Southbound which is a nice little horror anthology from last year. Plenty of gore, frights and fucked-up shit! A good example of where a limited budget has been overcome with suspense and creativity.
 
I like the half-light aesthetic of the nubile young women in translucent night gown running through the woods which seemed to be a running theme of Hammer Horrors.
 
Heads up horror fans!

On The Horror Channel (freeview 70)this afternoon they are showing a Universal Monsters Marathon;

1pm: Dracula
2:30pm Frankenstein
4pm The Mummy
5:30pm The Wolf Man
7pm Creature from the Black Lagoon

What a lovely way to spend a dreary sunday afternoon!
 
Recently, I really enjoyed these films:
Extra Ordinary - which is sort of Father Ted meets Ghostbusters
Little Monsters - Lupita Nyong'o as a school teacher protecting her class from zombies in a petting zoo
Come To Daddy - Elijah Wood in the worst haircut ever visiting his estranged dad and having a horrible time of it. It's well gory and features Michael Smiley being very funny. He has one of the funniest lines I've heard in a while.
All three of these are comedy horrors rather than out and out horrors. Haven't seen a decent one of those for a while - saw Darlin' which is the sequel to The Woman and Offspring, but it's absolutely dreadful.
 
Ooh, meant to say "One Cut of the Dead"

Don't want to say too much, except that it's not really a horror and stick with it because the last third of the movie makes it all worthwhile

Extra Ordinary sounds ace, never heard of it, thanks!

Thanks for that was just saying the other day would love to see some of the old black and white horror films.

And on that genre, R.E.C. is as good as they come- can’t recommend it enough.

The two just have similar titles. The Haunting from 1963 by Robert Wise is the first and best adaptation of Shirley Jackson‘s The Haunting of Hill House. There is an awful remake from 1999 and there was the recent Netflix series, which restores the full title of the novel but departs very far from it in terms of plot.

The House on Haunted Hill is a Vincent Price movie from 1959 by William Castle. It‘s good fun and it too was remade in 1999.
