It’s horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.
What is your top pick for whatever genre?
Hereditary is my favourite supernatural horror film
The thing is my favourite Sci fi horror film
Ufff Toni Colette was great in it! It is one of my favorite movies too.
The Platform https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Platform_(film)
Seconded, great movie.
the fact that the whole thing is shot in a single room makes it even more amazing
Haha I still have to try this one some time, but my first thought is always “Ah, Snow Piercer but an elevator.” :p
It’s the same idea, but I found The Platform was much better done.
Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Fright Night (1985)
The Reanimator (1985)
Return of the Living Dead (1985)
I watched this recently. Actual not-dumb characters is sooo nice. I’d written this off as just yet another Romero style zombie movie but it has it’s own thing going on. I think given how much I liked Tusk (saw it last night) and Dale and Tucker vs. Evil I have a soft spot for R rated horror comedy.
Have you seen Zombeavers?
Zombeavers
I haven’t but this is the second time it’s popped up today so I’ll put it on now.
The original Romero zombie movie series deserves its own discussion IMO. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite.
Classics!
I like The Blob(1988) too.
Midsommer is my favorite. A slow, realistic slide into horror.
Difficult to pick one, but Annihilation is up there.
The books are fantastic as well.
Mileage may vary; I read the first one and found it to be an absolute slog and a snooze. No interest in reading on.
Completely different experience here, I was hooked immediately and chewed through the whole series right away.
As I said, mileage may vary 😄
lol indeed
I’ve only read the first so far. I was so disappointed in the movie because I loved the book so much!
I find that’s books almost always tell a better story as well. I tend to watch shows first if both a show and a book are available for that reason.
There was a scene that had my jaw dropped for 5 minutes straight
The ending definitely made my jaw drop for an extended period of time.
It’s also just a beautiful movie
True that. I loved how the sci-fi made it seem so fascinating to explore. The environment was so cool!
But also there was constant tension in anticipation of what they’d find next, and you’re asking yourself whether you’d just nope right out if you could.
I really enjoy Event Horizon, especially with the 40K theory in mind.
The shining. I watch it every year at the first snow. I’m afraid I won’t get that chance this year.
Hope you’re okay buddy. I know nothing an internet stranger can say will help, but if you need someone to talk to, let me know.
Maybe he just moved to Florida?
day of the dead is fantastic. perfect build up and release. watched it with a lot of friends and damn we went crazy for that ending
The 1922 Nosferatu.
Oh baby, time to proselytize the masses of Lemmy and introduce a whole new set of suckers to “Fido”. It’s zombies with big Fallout vibes and is unironically one of the best C to B tier movies I’ve ever seen. It’s the kind of movie where it looks like everyone involved was just having fun with it, ya know? Check it out and make sure to let me know what you think!
I just read the description on IMDB, and good lord what a fever dream. But the real selling point for me is the disembodied head of Billy Connolly being a loyal companion to a family. Consider me signed up.
Bonus points for Billy Connolly.
Sinister - the home movies and music are so creepy.
Yeah, that one screwed me up for a week keeping the lights bright in the house LOL.
Sure I’m a rational adult but I sure do hate that gimmick where “If you know about / think about the thing, you’re on its radar now.” Eeesh! All I did was watch a movie!
super tiny synopsis detail
…just like the protagonist. 😨
Voted the scariest movie of all time! At least by one study.
The original Night of the living Dead is way up there for vanilla zombie horror. 28 days later for modern zombies.
Thankskilling and Jack Frost for B movie holiday horror.
The ending of NOTLD is still so relevant today, sadly.
Army of Darkness.
Event Horizon
The Devils Rejects.
House of 1000 Corpses and 3 From Hell are alright, but Devils Rejects is my favorite. I can’t hear Midnight Rider or Freebird without thinking about this movie.
I wish 3 From Hell was better, but it was nice to have more. The Devil’s Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses I ABSOLUTELY LOVED.
RIP Sid Heig
I actually liked devil’s rejects more than House of 1000 corpses. Rob zombie has a tendency to dip his toes into the torture porn type of horror genre from time to time and I think house of 1000 corpses had too much of that going on with it for my own taste.
