Will horror movies ever make a comeback?
>>64407656
Probably not.
>>64407656
What kind of horror are we talking about? Terrifying, get under your skin, "THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS SHIT" horror or modern day jump scare fests?
>>64407656
no
its one of 3 things these days
>western adaptations of asian horror movies
>shitty indie films that suck because of low budgets/bad actors
>rehashed Hollywood tripe and franchises like hidden camera jumpscare bulshit
>>64407656
They are back. Modern indie horrors are pretty great. Bone Tomahawk was very good.
No. There isn't much to really do with the genre.
I think short Horror is the way to go, if anything.
>>64407994
Indy thrillers are not necessarily horror.
>>64407656
what movie film is that in op pic?
>>64407764
>these days
Good one.
>western adaptations of asian horror movies
Wrong decade.
>shitty indie films that suck because of low budgets/bad actors
Every decade.
>rehashed Hollywood tripe and franchises like hidden camera jumpscare bulshit
Yup. Remember all those original horror films of the past? Like 3 Dracula movies, 5 Frankenstein movies, 3 Invisible Man movies, 7 Freddy Krueger movies, 10 Jason movies. Horror was so much better.
>>64408114
I think Pumpkinhead, let OP correct me.
No, because nobody knows how to scare us anymore.
It's 2016, we're not shocked by blood or gore, we're not scared of conventionally scary stuff (e.g shit like dementors). Some CGI monster probably is going to cut it.
Jumpscares don't scare people, they startle people. 30 minutes after the movie's ended nobody gives a shit about some jumpscare. They're not memorable.
Nobody can be bothered to make a good horror film because you actually need to sit the fuck down for a while and think of a concept for an antagonistic force which will genuinely frighten people and leave an impression long-term, i.e for days after they first see the film
Sorry for the rant
I want more non-supernatural horror films. Not a Scooby-Doo twist where it turns out the supernatural monster has a rational explanation, just something horrifying that exists in the real world.
And not a "psychological thriller" or whatever the fuck, just a genuinely scary situation.
>>64408083
They have horror elements and some are typical horrors like It Follows.
>>64408194
The Ring did it right. Mostly because Gore Verbinski never directed horror before and doesn't dream of being a horror director, and thus, he made the scariest horror film in the past 20 years.
The Ring was gorgeous and GOAT.
>>64408194
>some cgi monster probably is going to cut it
shit i meant isn't
>>64408194
There's that quote by H. P. Lovecraft:
>"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
This is the cornerstone of a lot of his novels, they aren't really about the giant squid monster, they're about things we don't understand, so they scare us.
I wish that could translate to film. I guess the only way it works is if you have some kind of unrevealed mystery monster.
>>64408231
>The Ring
>even that scary
The best parts about it were in the beginning. Halfway through the movie it starts feeling like a snoozefest. Original is still GOAT though
>that ominous ending wherethe mom is gonna pass the curse onto her dad so her son is safe
>>64408286
>This is the cornerstone of a lot of his novels,
That is to say, nothing, since he never wrote novels.
Who the fuck enjoys horror movies?
If you want to be actually scared, just watch fucked up videos online of real shit
Horror movies are fucking awful. They're not comfy, funny, interesting, you don't care about the characters, you're not invested in the story, it's just "DUDE KIND OF CREEPY LOL"
>>64408307
>The best parts about it were in the beginning.
Yes, it kept me expecting worse the whole time. That it didn't happen doesn't matter. Movie was beautiful.
Original is shit in comparison, must say.
>>64408338
>not comfy, funny
They are.
>you don't care about the characters
That's why cheap horrors are entertaining. The characters are usually annoying so it's fun to see them getting killed.
>>64408338
>Horror movies
>They're not comfy, funny
We got ourselves an Albert Einstein right here.
>>64408230
It Follows alone is not a trend.
It is quite possible that the horror movie will make a comeback.
Currently, however, many filmmakers are more preoccupied with trying to recapture the spirit of 80s horror and splurging and going on about how they use old school practical effects rather than do something new.
>>64408316
Stories, whatever.
He wrote a novella, which half counts?
>>64408508
>Currently, however, many filmmakers are more preoccupied with trying to recapture the spirit of 80s horror and splurging and going on about how they use old school practical effects rather than do something new.
What's wrong with that if it works?
It Follows was pretty good, my only concern is if everyone does this and tries to out-80s each other.
>>64408338
classic horror movies are comfy as fuck
>>64408413
It's not fun, it's boring.
Cliche characters with no depth get killed.
You have to be almost autistic to enjoy this shit.
i liked it follows and The Witch looks 2spooky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQXmlf3Sefg
>>64408472
Babadook, It Follows, Spring, The Witch, Bone Tomahawk.
And I geuss you can call Under the Skin which is a masterpiece a horror movie.
>>64407656
Hopefully not. It really is the most plebeian of genres.
There is a reason horror and metal go hand in hand.
>>64408617
Watched about half of Babadook. GOD FUCKING DAMN THAT NIGGER CHILD I WILL RIP OFF HIS COCK SO HIS GENES DO NOT SPREAD
So was it all in his head?
What are your best modern (past 2000's) horror movies ?
>>64407656
No, especially when shit like The Babadook, Insidious and It Follows are considered "good" horror movies. The genre is fucking dead, and has been for at least 30 years.
Come back from what?
>>64408709
Can you name good horror movies then? At least ten.
>>64408569
Sometimes it works. Other times you get Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (granted that's a comedy, but styled 80s) and The Millennium Bug.
I'm more of a creature feature kind of guy, so a lot of these recent creature features have these sometimes quite well-done practical beasts, but the rest of the movie is underwhelming.
Lot of horror movies these days need more spirit.
Antichrist is one of the most patrician horror films to come out in a long, long time.
It put a lot of modern horror films like The Descent and [rec] to shame.
>>64408607
I'm also looking forward to this.
>>64408668Kinda. It's his mother.
>watch modern horror movie
>nothing but "psychological" or "supernatural" garbage
>>64407656
Not in the way you remember, not in the way you'd hope.
>>64408747
I'm hoping they'll bring that side of horror back too. I'm sure it resurges here and there. I like fantasy films with puppets, yet MirrorMask somehow passed me by (still need to watch that one).
Not a horror film, but Attack the Block had a good mix of animatronic monsters with post-production effects that made them more alien (super black fur, luminescent teeth). I want someone creative to come up with a new horror creature like that. Something we completely see, but it uses special effects (old and new) to be truly weird.
Does anyone feel like supernatural horror just loses its appeal after a dozen movies you watch? Real life situations like a serial killer or a deranged murderer in an abandoned place carry a bit of reality. I am never scared of a monster since its detached from my life, the only thing i might care about is if a good character is in danger. Scary movies which are realistic or based on real events are interesting since you can place youself in their shoes. They are people like you who watched horror movies in their dark room and thought it would never happen to them but it did
>>64408338
>pretending to be retarded
>>64408938
I don't horror movies to get scared.
>>64408929
This guy gets it
>>64408747
Scouts Guide was one of the most enjoyable shitty little movies I saw all last year.
>>64408938
Supernatural monsters can definitely be done right, it's just that a formula developed in the 2000s that sold tickets. You just plug a few of the expected cliches and jump scares into your movie, box office gold. Can be a ghost, demon, whatever, as long as there's a bit where the music stops and everything goes dark and then BOO! you see the monster for a split second.
>>64408158
Not OP, but that is Pumpkinhead
>>64408745
Not him but Candyman still holds up really well. Very unique setting. It's gothic horror done in an inner city environment.
I've never found any movie as scary as this one
>>64409141
Candyman was good. But I wouldn't call it much better than It Follows or The Babadook.
>>64409261
It's all subjective though. Something that scares one person won't work on someone else. Personally demonic possession movies are the ones that always get me.
>>64409086
I didnt say supernatural horrors are bad only that realistic ones cause a different kind of unsettling feeling. Its extremely dumb to be afraid of being killed by a maniac but its still feasible, it happens to normal people. No one gets eaten by aliens and zombies so you just laugh it off
Anyone else check this out? One of the best horror flicks I've seen in a long time...
>>64409389
gonna watch it now
>>64409152
This one gave me a legitimate nightmare when it came out. One that I would never forget...cannot watch again without lights on...
>that scene where the lady looks under the covers, and ghost bitch is waiting...
>>64409446
That scene was hot.
>>64409389
It was surprisingly decent. The whole cult thing didn't really gel together for me though.
>>64409141
Have you ever read up about that movie? The director went full 2deep4u with adding subtext on top of the original story.
Also, Phillip Glass + aerial shots = GOAT

It's essentially "Assault on Precinct 13" meets "The Conjuring."
It's pretty damn decent.
>>64409389
that one was bretty good

>>64409638
You should spoiler that shit for people. But yeah, that ending was insane...and no CGI.
It was probably the one movie where I've actually had my jaw drop and put my hand over my mouth, speechless.
>>64409634
It's not out of the realm of possibility that someone on /tv/ could have a friend that worked on a low budget indie horror movie, anon. It's not like he's claiming to be Brad Pitt's cousin or something.

Should I watch the remake or original?
SMG was a qt around that time still.
>>64409960
Original is good, but hokey as fuck. The remake definitely has a darker and menacing tone. One of the few cases where the remake is better than the original.
>>64409960
Remake. Original director, still set in Japan. Like someone else said the other day, having a westerner stuck in the middle of all this japanese shit makes it work better somehow.
![UniversalMonsterstogether[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/YE32QZy.jpg "UniversalMonsterstogether[1].jpg")
The real question.
Will classic monster movie horror ever make a comeback?
>>64410275
nobut that's a good thing
>>64410389
"Good" as in classic monster movies were bad, or "good" as in remakes would be awful and tarnish the reputation of classics?
or both?
>>64410425
a little of A, but mostly B
you couldn't unironically remake those movies or evoke their pace or style, it would be a travesty
Know what would scare me? A 40 minute long single shot no cuts of the panic and bedlam of a city that has just learned of an impending nuclear attack. Like air raid sirens blaring full blast non stop for the entire scene. Civil Defense announcements being heard in the background. People running around in abject terror, looting, getting in car accidents trying to race out of the city, fighting and killing each other over supplies. All tooped off with a money shot of a wall of white hot fire racing into the camera followed by total and utter silence.
good/great horror movies pop up out of nowhere every few years, either something original like it follows, or a tired genre just done fantastically well e.g. Rec/28 days (although zombies werent as played out when 28 days came out). the problem becomes when holelywood sees it can make a buck and makes a bazillion sequels and people forget just how good the original was and the effect that it had when it came out, the best example being Saw, if horror movies were limited to one sequel the genre would be in much better shape. and in the not distant past we've had Matyr's, Human Centipede, Serbian film, Rec, It Follows, Babdook (though imo total shit).
>>64410275
Grimdark remake mash-up of all the classic monsters when?
Van Helsing and The Cabin in the Woods have already set the tone.
>>64408156
>7 Freddy Krueger movies, 10 Jason movies
what are you retarded? they stopped being scary after the first 2 for both. Dumb millennial
>>64410626
but what would you call it?
>>64410755
Actually NoES got really gay for the sequel and then went back to good with the third one.
>>64410752
Cabin in the woods was the trope movie we needed.
Van Helsing was the ham-it-up movie we needed.
What would fill the void? More ham? More trope?

>>64407656
>Will horror movies ever make a comeback?
Wasn't that what Under the Skin was?
>>64410930
Under The Skin was terribly boring, wasn't even worth it for ScarJo nudity who isn't in her prime anymore. Had some compelling scenes, but fell flat for the most of it - the fact that ScarJo was literally talking to strangers (except the parts where they obviously had to use actors) from the van though was pretty interesting.
inb4 "you just didn't get it"
>>64410838
No.Grimdark.
>>64411022
You literally didn't.
>>64410756
I dunno.
"A GRIM PORTRAYAL OF THE FUTURE"
"ONE BUTTON AWAY"
"YOU KNOW HOW MANY COUNTRIES OWN THESE THINGS?"
I think the format of theatrical movies is often stifling to making something genuinely scary. Its too standard. Gotta have like a 90 minute run time even if would be better served by being just an hour long. If it's coming out of a studio it's got to run by ratings agencies and consider the effect on the bottom line of an NC-17 rating vs an R rating even when it might adversely affect the 'scariness' of the movie. To make a horror MOVIE instead of just a horror... "product" you have to jump through hoops and make creative sacrifices that ultimately hurt the ability to be genuinely disturbing, frightening or unsettling.
>>64411022
Under The Skin was an "artfilm" not horror.
>>64410626
>>64411171
In some ways it's the opposite of what you're asking for, but have you seen Threads?
I consider this a horror film, at the very least it's horrifying.
>>64411131
It wasn't that deep of a story nigga.
The only ambiguous thing was what she was actually doing to the guys she brought back to her 'nest'.
So she feels sorry for the disfigured guy (that's how the guy actually looks IRL by the way that wasn't makeup), starts developing some kind of emotion for humans, runs off to stop doing what she's doing (which I'm sure the Motorbike people were in charge of keeping check of), gets feelings for a guy who takes care of her but figures out she can't actually fuck him (probably doesn't have a slit for her vagina, that's why she looks inside it with the lamp).
Runs off to the forest, gets molested, runs away and exposes her true skin to the rapist who then proceeds to set her on fire.
The end.
>>64411022
I don't care if you hate it, but it's one of the few horror movies that tried to be something more.
Horror is a shit genre nowadays because nobody takes it seriously. Kubrick, Bergman, Żuławski, Haneke, etc. did horror movies. Can you imagine PTA, Malick, or most modern auteur directors considering one? They're so above it. Even Cronenberg is making shitty arthouse flicks now.
>>64408209
Can you think of an example? I can't really, but I know these exist.
>>64411363
Plot was largely inconsequential.
>>64411540
Anything with swarms of insects, wild animals or natural disasters.
>>64411540

>>64411776
P2 then.
(Fuck you Ialmostliked it.)
>>64410275
>>64410752
They've already been doing it, and it is schlock made for no one. Dracula: Untold ends implying more monster movies, then we have shit like "I, Frankenstein" and "Victor Frankenstein".
It's like fair tale reboot movies of the past several years. Occasionally imaginative but ultimately for-no-one movies
Scariest shit to me are pschyological horrors featuring taboo victims.
I am desensitized to gore. Hostel was scary to me at 13. I find the concept of secret cabals, pondering the existence of unknown evils, and large amounts of missing children to be more scary
>>64411644
Good call

>>64408231
The premise is misstated, I think. Boris Karloff's character said in 'Targets', How can a horror movie be scarier than anything on the six o'clock news? news?
So, in this case, I ask: what kind of horror movie would scare /tv/?
Kill List is a good example of a horror movie done well. It leaves a lot to the imagination while not skimping on actual shock scenes
http://youtube.com/watch?v=bQDPp5hxFZQ
in the 60s and 70s crazy mass murderes with double lives was the topical scare actic and it carried over to 70s and 80s slashers
i believe something will happen in a few years with mass shooters, some great scary movie will be made that is a big hit, and subsequent movies will basically copy it
its the natural cycle of horror movies
Anyone seen Frontiers?

>The genre is fucking dead, and has been for at least 30 years.
Yup, it's been dead since the 80s with the rise of serialized "horror" films like Nightmare, Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, etc.

Not untrue. Stories about oh-so-depraved serial murderers don't scare me when we have easily accessible prove of what ostensibly normal people do to each other every day that far surpasses any Hannibal Lecter shit. I'm inclined towards any supernatural, beyond-human horror.
Will the world ever see a horror director as based as Lucio Fulci again?
>>64412586
Each of these of a few good entries and are mostly bad.
I wouldn't say horror is dead, but it wasn't dominating in the first place. Great horror movies are often years apart, good ones comes 2-3 at a time over a couple years. Some underground movie pops up and suddenly all horror reformulates. Problem is most people stop being affect by most horror as they age, so the drama of a horror tends to fall flat.
I really like a good horror movie, but I expect long lengths between truly spooky.
>>64409152
>>64409960
The american version doesn't even make sense...in Japan ghosts don't haunt places, they essentially curse people so the Ju-On movies are essentially about a curse which is carried from person to person like an STD.
Just throwing in an american actress and remaking it doesn't make sense because Western horror sensibilities are much different.
>>64407656
No never going to be a golden age of horror ever again
>>64412694
Hokey 70's schlock.
It's got some neat surreal vibes, but the silly red paint gore and no budget cheesiness takes away from the horror.
Don't look up anything about it, just watch it.
It's only 40 minutes.
>>64412885
Not that great.
>>64412575
v/h/s 2 was way better than the first imo. Problem with horrors is they don't know when to quit with the fucking sequels.
>>64412093
jesus fucking christ, the audio and cinematography make that movie seem like a good spook
but the subject matter is having me think the opposite? it doesn't look too scary aside from the audioplease tell me i'm wrong i want to watch this if there's some really freaky shit happening in it, and not just stuff with generic murders
>>64408338
>If you want to be actually scared, just watch fucked up videos online of real shit
What kind of "real shit" are you refering to?
>>64412882

Is this one of those things where I need to have a family to really appreciate it or something? It doesn't look like a lot from that trailer. I understand not wanting to show a whole lot in the trailer but that really didn't seem to have much going on.
>>64410626
On the beach (1959) is similar. I wouldn't call it horror per se, although the situation is pretty horrific.
Personally I enjoy hand-me-down folklore inspired horror.
Kind of like the mythology in Season 1 of True Detective.
Effigies hanging from trees in heavily wooded wilderness. Strange carvings and ritual markings in conjunction with the whispers and rumors of mysterious occurrences as told by locals. it doesn't even have to be particularly 'supernatural' it just has to hint at something ancient, arcane and mysterious with obviously grim intentions. Even better if there seems to be a conspiracy surrounding it.
Everyone's to mature for a horror mascot now. They all want "deep" horror movies like The Babadook that appeal to critic consensus
>>64413216
Babadook was okay. I think that the ending was a bit much but it had some creepy stuff going on.
I rewatched House on Haunted Hill earlier tonight. Vincent Price was pretty damn awesome.
>>64412093
One of my favorite horror movies of the last few years. So good.
>>64412093

>>64412994
>A perverted teenage boy who lives in the walls of a house finds the house sold to a family after his mother dies, and he falls for one of the new residents.
Yeah, not quite.
>>64413373
For like 80% of the movie it is only vaguely ominous but the ending becomes horror.
>>64408938
Horror is the most clichéd genre there is. Almost all horror loses it's appeal after a while. But that being said, I'm not scared of serial-killers, psychopaths and so on, beacause they are real, and therefore just people, like you and me. These types of movies are far more interesting and can actually tell you something, but they don't scare me. Supernatural shit, like blue japanese ghost chicks scare me. It's something I know isn't real, but it's also something I don't know, something I don't understand, something different from what I am.
In the end, I really don't think it's fair to pool the two together, as they deal with vastly different ideas and evoke different emotions.
>>64409152
I still get nightmares about this.
>>64412575
Cult segment was pretty good the rest i could take or leave

You could make a case for most of Lynch's films to be horror and at least 3 of them are classics (Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Dr)....It seems like people just want well done but not trulyscary horror films...YYou're Next and Cabin are both good films that play with genre conventions but they're not scary, real horror films seem to not really be settong out to be such, like perhaps some of Haneke's stuff or Bergman's of Tark's The Sacrifice...and until people stop fust trying to one up the self awareness within the genre it seems unlikely we'll get anything better than Cabin, It Follows, House of the Devil, You're Next, etc....or the occasion gore porn or well done thriller like the french were doing in the 2000s with High Tension and Martyrs.

Add Picnic at Hanging Rock to the list of horrifying non-horrors.
>>64413716
Does Godzilla count.
>>64413851
The scene where the girls keep going higher and higher up the rock while one of them wants to go back is creepy as shit.
The Ring
It Follows
Noroi: the Curse
The Borderlands
AM 1200
Mr. Jones
The Taking of Deborah Logan
REC
The Sacrament (alternatively, a historical mockumentary)
honorable mentions (flawed but still worth watching):
Lake Mungo
Shirome
V/H/S 1 & 2
Grave Encounters
>>64413880
Picnic was one of the most unsettling films I've seen.
More goodish modern horror that's not just being smarmy-Kill List and Field in England.
Crimson Peak was great but is just a gothic romance that happens to have ghosts.
>>64410815
The second nightmare was almost as good as the first. The third one was the first where Freddy became a comedian
>>64410930
What's this from?
>>64413914
Lake Mungo is very interesting, the filmmakers showed a lot of restraint, making that one scene incredibly scary. I don't even like talking about it.
>>64408607
Something about that trailer scared me more than most other full length horror films I've seen
I kinda want to see it, on the other hand it looks intense as fuck

Possession (1981)

>The Ring
It's probably gonna suck. Horribly. But I'm still gonna watch Rings.
>>64414038
Probably the 2016 movie I'm looking forward to the most in any genre.
>>64413520
Sure. I was just trying to adress the issue that anon raised about supernatural horror-movies losing their appeal after a while, and explaining why I think they're scarier than more realistic psychological horror-movies.
Social media and mobile internet has given this generation a need for constant stimulation. Until we can keep an audience in its seat without resorting to a jump scare every 30 seconds, we will keep getting bad horror.

Since we're discussing horror movies, this is a recent one i liked. When Animals Dream. It's more along the lines of Let the Right One In than shit your pants horror.

I always thought the original Dark Water was better than all versions and sequels of Ring.

Sleepaway Camp was a really shitty run-of-the-mill slasher movie from the early 80s, but this scene(and twist) pretty much made up for the entire movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6z6QIiXTnYYou couldn't remake this today because of 'MUH TRANSPHOBIA', even though it is clearly someone who is forced into against their free will.
>>64414269
>Let the Right One In
If it's similar then I'll go watch it right away.
>>64407656
comeback implies there were good in the first place
>>64414382
I've seen this scene before, but never the movie. Never made any fucking sense to me. Why is her face frozen, it just looks retarded.
>>64414269
That looks really badass. I can't find a good torrent though.
>>64414382
False.
>>64414271
It's better than all but the US remake.
Jap horror is pretty shit....there's Pulse and House and Kwaidan...so much of the other classic stuff just feels too formal to be frightening, stuff like Ugetsu and Onibaba, etc.

let's talk about slimy Mondo movies. Have you accepted Machete Joe as your lord and savior?

I remember watching this with my dad(My dad had me when he was 40, so he's old as fuck now)and the entire movie was completely butchered(edited) to shit. The plot made no fucking sense at all back then.
I later re-watched it as an adult and it was entertaining.

Try french horror movies from 2000's.
You will not, because you Anglo-Sackson dont wont to expand beyond holyshit.

Watched The Final Girls and The Voices the other day.
The Final Girls was fun I thought. Not fantastic but I enjoyed it. If nothing else it has some qts.
I really, really liked The Voices. Was kind of marketed as a horror comedy but it didn't seem that way at all to me. Was honestly one of the more disturbing films I've watched in a while not because of the gore and all that but because it seemed like something that a real person could possibly deal with and the main character seemed like a lot of just sort of socially awkward people I know. I really like Reynolds also and the movie really let him show some chops imo.
I don't understand. Do any of you actually want to go to the theater and shit yourselves to a movie?
I'm guessing that with comeback you mean that horror movies suck now and they were awesome in the good old days.
I don't like the genre at all but I've had gfs and friends that did like them a lot. More in highschool nowadays it just depends on my girl.
So yeah I've seen the ring, the grudge, rec, saw, the descent, paranormal activity and all those movies that truth to be told get old really fast.
Now for old movies I've only seen the usual shit everyone knows poltergeist, exorcist, the omen, rosemary's baby. I bet none of you actually considers Friday 13th, Elm Street, Halloween, Alien, those old zombie movies and shit like that actually frightening so I'll leave them out. So unless I'm missing something what exactly makes old horror movies so much better than the recent ones that the genre needs a comeback?

>>64414271
It was pretty damn spooky, but the hair thing I really don't care about.
I know the mythological creature they're trying to convey, but it's just fucking silly to me.
When are they going to make movies based on post-viking mythology with creatures like this?
>>64408338
>Who the fuck enjoys horror movies?
me i enjoy them because ghost horror movies usually start pretty cossy and comfy
>>64414471
Could you please elaborate?
>>64414468
It's a mask on the pan shot.
>>64414920
>I bet none of you actually considers Friday 13th, Elm Street, Halloween, Alien, those old zombie movies and shit like that actually frightening so I'll leave them out
Just because something isn't frightening doesn't keep it from being horror or from being good
Krampus was .... ok
>>64414810
You'd be hard-pressed to find a Norwegian called Lewis, m8.

>yfw we will never have movies like The Shining and The Exorcist ever again
>>64409389
Movie is just okay
>>64414984
That's what happens when you make a horror movie pg 13.
>>64415243
I'm okay with not having another Exorcist movie, as I am a fan of classic films, but yet don't see what is so great about the Exorcist.
I laugh my ass of whenever I see it.
A demon comes to possess a young girl, for what?
Swears up a storm, pukes pea soup, head twists around.
Honestly, the only scene that creeped me out at all was when she comes down the stairs like a spider.
I still love horror films though, but the Exorcist...for me it's the same as the Omen, just not enough there, it builds up but doesn't really pay off.
>>64408286
that's literally Greek tragedy eg medea
too hard to convincingly show her killing her kids onscreen, so let's just imply the whole thing knowing whatever the audience imagines will be more horrific/vivid than what we could ever show them
>>64414966
Well I have the feeling OP wasn't asking for new slasher films to consider horror is making a comeback.
>>64409152
I remember I saw the grudge with my grandmother in the cinema when it came out I asked if she liked it she told me she didn't understand any of it.Scared the shit out of me since my room was in the attic.
>>64410930
be honest, if you found her sitting there, would you still hit it?
>>64415395
The scene that bothered me the most was when she was getting the tests done at the doctor.
>>64408231
see this is the point. people name the classic big 3 as shining, alien and exorcist (or rosemary's baby), which were all made by ESTABLISHED TALENTED directors who did not specialize in horror. thats the key there mate.

Great, retard, now try watching it again after being born in 1960 and raised as a Christian in an America that had never seen a film like that before.
>>64414678
>a censored Fulci movie
God, there'd have been nothing left. Just half an hour of dialogue or something.
cheeky horror bump
>>64408286
Yes but the problem is today's audience is too lazy to get into half an hour of character development and plot to get into the movie, they want jump scares because it gets the high more quickly.
>>64411540
The Zodiac
>>64407656
how can they "come back" when they never were in the first place

it's a heartwarming tale about heads, and pumpkins
>>64414920
"Actually frightening" is subjective.
Horror moves don't ever scare me, however I can tell the difference between something that had effort put into it and some generic trope-y script someone slapped together and threw in some jumpscares and called it a day, which is pretty much all we get these days.
>>64407656
