Nusm*It Follows*. Indie film that’s actually pretty good, and I don’t like spooky/horror movies.
I just watched the trailer I love the 80s feel!
Funny thing is, according to IMDB, it’s supposed to feel like a dream, so there’s stuff from different decades to keep you from pinning down when it is, and they wear different types of clothes throughout the movie from jackets to bathing suits to keep from identifying a time of year. The point is that, like a dream, a lot of stuff is vague and nothing really makes complete sense.
Ahhhh well it reeled me in anyway
This is the first thing I’ve read that made It Follows sound interesting! I’ll probably check it out now.
Che BananaWeapons was very well done, good cinematography, good plot, solid acting, very well put together.
Just watched the trailer it’s gripping thanks!

haulyardBook of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 is not a great movie, but I recently re-watched it and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
It helps a lot that I was growing up in the mid 90s to the mid 2000s and I actually saw this in cinema on release (convinced my parents to let me go to the cinema at the mall so I wouldn’t bug them while they were shopping).
I would say Book of Shadows is better than the 2016 reboot. It adds its own take on the formula.
Blair Witch 2 was the unfortunate victim of studio interference. I watched this fan edit years ago that brings it more in line with the director’s intentions, and the result was a very solid horror movie. Looks like there are some newer attempts on that site now I may need to try and find.
I remember watching Siskel and Ebert talking about DVDs when they first came out. They were fired up and saw a future where the raw media would come on the DVD and the version you watched could be influenced by an overlay. Like you could have “studio release”, “director’s cut” on the same disk, and even download fan edits (just directions for what to play in what order. A small text file) and watch those versions. I thought that was a pretty cool idea, but of course it didn’t take long for DVDs to get locked down and start forcing people to watch unskippable ads on the DVDs you bought.
Well have to check this out.
I’ve had great experiences with some fanedits (Prometheus, Alien: Covenant) to the point where I consider the fanedits to the canocial versions.
That being said, I thought the theatrical version of Book of Shadows was entertaining. Some of it is nostalgia bias, but I also watch a lot of new horror movies that many would consider unacceptablely low quality and I think they all right.
DominusOfMegadeusThe Thing, Sleepy Hollow, Halloween 1 & 2, Hereditary, Hellboy: The Crooked Man, Jeepers Creepers (2001).
Not fully a horror movie, but it has horror elements and IMO it’s a cool fusion of genres. I also appreciate the indie DIY aesthetic (while still offering some impressive scenes).
I like dystopian so it’s a good shout! Thanks mate
Second vote for weapons in this thread thanks 😊
switcherooDrag Me To Hell
Cabin in the Woods
Just watched The Ritual and it was pretty decent.
The Love Witch is funny, campy, kitsch, retro fun
ace_garpCould go with the scientifically proven scariest horror films(greatest heart rate BPM spikes during movies), just skip the psychological ones.
manofmany.com/…/scariest-horror-movies-according-…
Or go old school, with 1985’s The Return of the Living Dead, a very blatant and non-psychological teen zombie flick.
Earnest Scared Stupid. I kid - I recommend Darkness Falls.
It’s a 2003 horror movie that I really enjoyed back then. In fact since your prompt made me think of it, im gonna watch it myself lol.
