We start our horrorfest movie plowing in mid August, so the September list is quite long already. Way too many for a post per movie :(

Had a cheesy horror movie night with friends, watched Drag Me to Hell. The best bad special effects you'll ever see.

Did you catch what the movie is really about?

Here go!She has an eating disorder. Notice that everything bad she experiences has to do with food or her mouth? Also, she's very thin and has symptoms of anorexia like nose bleeds and her hair falling out. There are some scenes, like in the bank, where everyone should be freaking out, but they're only looking at her. She's hallucinating.

I like that one.

I don't watch a lot of horror, but Drag Me To Hell made me realise you can enjoy like you might a rollercoaster (albeit a rollercoaster that goes 'quiet ... quiet ... HANDKERCHIEF ATTACK !!!)

Finally got around to watching Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. That movie was hilarious, as I expected.

Love Tucker and Dale. More people need to see it.

Watched Oddity most recently. The writer/director's previous movie, Caveat, had a super ridiculous premise, but some excellent tension at the end, so I was hoping Oddity would be a good evolution of that. Turned out to be kind of a mixed bag, imo, but I didn't dislike it.

Longlegs and Speak No Evil were the theater ones. Really enjoyed both of them. I've been watching a short film series on Amazon called Alter. Some rough ones, but a good chunk is well done to make it worth it.

Maybe not so much a horror film but the closest thing to it this month was Long Legs. It was... interesting.

Also Borderlands is horrible, which is close in spelling to horror so maybe that counts too? I'm reaching here

I thought the bones of the plot of Longlegs were cool, but found some of the execution (Longlegs himself, and the uh... method) to be jarringly goofy. Liked the first half and the atmosphere, though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Longlegs is definitely a horror - I've seen too many horror movies to get scared but it did unnerve me, which was quite an achievement.

Borderlands is just something I'd rather regret.

The Babysitter and its sequel. If you aren't into cheesy ass shit, this ain't for you. It was so fucking goofy and fun the whole way through. Fairly predictable, but it didn't take anything away from it for my partner or me. I was not a fan of the ending of the second movie, but they are still worth watching in their entirety if you aren't trying to take them serious. They almost have horror Home Alone vibes

I put these up with tucker and Dale. So much fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I should watch that one again. I don't really remember it, but I know I liked it

"Why isn't he wearing a shirt?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I fucking loved him! Doing (his version of) the Jason chant while chasing the kid

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Max was definitely the best part of both movies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Absolutely. I liked Sonya too

I watched Freddy vs Jason, and the 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street, both were pretty good actually

Freddy's voice in 2010 was a bit ridiculous though lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

We're organizing Halloween in the neighborhood and my neighbor was talking about doing the scene from the ring. I hadn't seen it so I watched it. A bit slow but not bad.

I then started looking up good scenes for projection from nightmare on elm Street and pet sematary. Kind of skimmed them I had already seen them there not as Good or as bad as I remembered them.

Re-watched Werewolves Within, horror comedy from a few years back not the best or a classic but I think it's a fun movie

The last drive in Roger Corman tribute, lots of cheesy exploitation horror and background stories

I watched Dracula II last week.
