Is this, dare I say it, the best modern horror movie made?
The Babadook
It Follows
The Witch
The only horrors you need to see.
>>69768747
If you're a pleb.
>lol she was in the pictures all along xD
>>69768747
The Babadook - overrated and not half as clever or subtle as it thinks it is.
It Follows - enjoyable genre piece that lacks pretension, but not much more than that.
The Witch - very well made but not scary.
I swear to god horror has a lower threshold for 'masterpieces' than any other genre.
What did she see?
>>69769321
An omen desu
>>69768729
You're right, bitch.
DON'T POST IT
The House of the Devil is the true winner
Too bad everything Ti West did after it sucked. He's like the m night shyamalan of horror
>>69768729
Absolute shite
>>69768729
>89 minutes of literally nothing happening.
>1 minute of too spoopy
>best anything
Let me guess, grave encounters is in the laminated top 10 horror movie of all time you keep on your suede vest?
>>69769140
THIS THIS SO MUCH
people are enthralled with something in horror that's just not mediocre
it's infuriating to hail the ones you mentioned as masterpeices, when they just delivered a bit more than the low threshold.
fuck it's like some horror circlejerk, where they won't critically examine movies that do just good enough
>>69769140
Most of horror masterpieces are only considered such because of nostalgia. There are very few and in between.
Some people consider Scream a masterpiece.
>>69772560
It says a lot about how much worse Horror has become when House of the Devil is considered the best of recent.
>>69773690
I've heard arguments for scream because it was the first one to subvert the genre and change it into something unique and different- thus the accolades.
but it's no alien or thing.- funny how the most acclaimed horrors are creature features.
Lake Mungo was a huge letdown for me.
I love slow burn horror but it just didn't do it for me. If anything it just bummed me out because of how sad it was, but it didn't feel like horror at all.
Make your own judgments if you haven't seen it, but I feel like it's incredibly overrated.
>>69768729
it's the kind of movie that would've been scary if you didn't know the whole time that it was bullshit. Just like The Blair Witch project was good because you didn't. That said, it still had some interesting twists in it.
>>69769140
listen, babadook didn't come out with the tagline, 'the best horror film of all time!' thats what everyone else put on it. the bottom line is that, outside of being a creepy monster flick, it's a poignant psychological horror film. though scary only sometimes, it is consistently stressful, and that's the hallmark of psychological horror.
>>69772560
He directed "the sacrament" which is really good!
>>69769321
My weenus peanus ! :)
What she saw was, of course, my weenus peanus !
ITT: The thing she saw was my weenus penus haha ! :D
>>69775866
really? I'm a bit hesitant to watch it.
I also dont get the praise for the innkeepers, it was alright. nothing more.
>>69775921
I thought it was a fun ride, granted if features a lot of AJ Bowen who I really like as an actor. I didn't much care for inkeepers either. It was slow like house of the devil, but lacked the insane ending
>>69768747
krampus was better than those

lol I always have to open the thread in a new tab and hide the thread in the main board whenever Lake Mungo is mentioned
Boring, pointless, one single jump scare at the end.
I liked the part where she was having the threesome with the neighbors though.
>>69773566
>THIS THIS SO MUCH
Just curious do guys ever actually talk like that here or are you a girl btw?
>>69774011
>overrated
Fuck off with that bullshit """"""complaint""""""
If you didn't like it, you didn't like it. Don't prop up your shitty opinion (which you're entitled to, of course) against general consensus
>>69776678
This guy.
Overrated is a valid complaint. Just because you dislike it doesn't make it invalid.
Sorry.

*embryo years old
VHS 1 & 2 were unironically the best anthology horror films made in the past 20 years.
>>69776996
the only good vhs was the thai one. and thats because it was made by the guy who did the raid
>>69768729
Lake Mungo only pawn...in game of life..
>>69776996
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
no
>>69777256
Are you retarded?
>>69777317
Ok, add that in. My bad.
Just saw this the other night, really good.
Any other good jap horror films?
>>69777417
Jap or asian in general? Because Shutter and Coming Soon are pretty good.
>>69768747
>it follows
wow kid, adquire some taste before posting this kind of fucking retarded shit
>>69768729
A movie /tv/ tricked me into watching by saying it was one of the best and creepiest found footage movies ever.
First of all, it's not found footage. It's most like a documentary. Second, literally nothing happens and by literally I really mean it. It's just a bunch of people being interviewed and every now and then they zoom in on a picture with a "ghost" in it while "spooky" music plays in the background. I can't understand how anyone over the age of 10 would be scared by this. A complete waste of time.
>>69768729
Definitely up there. It and They Look Like People are miles better than the ones this guy >>69768747 mentioned
>>69777470
I said jap you fucking retard.
>>69768747
>All three have been called "best horror in many years"
>Neither are above 6/10
Never listen to hype.
>>69777417
Pulse, Dark Water, Kuroneko, Haze.
This movie triggered some claustrophobia at times and the first half hour was pretty good especially when they first started delving into the catacombs/the catacomb cult/finding the phone/etc. Fell apart when they started triggering scooby doo traps and that chick became a zombie. Picked up a bit again near the very end running through the tunnels but overall mediocre
>>69777614
6/10 is enough to be best horror of the decade, this genre is trash.
>>69777317
This is fucking great. A true patrician choice and an absolute must watch on Halloween.
>>69777484
The idea that someone sees their own fucked up looking ghost before they even die, and the ghost reveals to them how they are going to die.
Also, that the neighbors were using her as a sex toy for years on end.
>Sorry there wasn't enough jump scares, my teenage friend
>>69777685
>The idea that someone sees their own fucked up looking ghost before they even die, and the ghost reveals to them how they are going to die.
That's not scary. It's retarded.
>>69768729
Martyrs is my favorite. Absentia is probably #2.
>>69777624
Maniac was great, the first-person perspective stuff got annoying at times and some of the delivery from Yung Elijah was corny, but it's still top tier.
>>69777657
No, it's not. Horror occasionally reach 7 and 8.
>>69777604
Are you ok?
>>69777801

>>69777847
Well this thread is pretty spoopy
>>69773566
I haven't seen babadook, but witch is a much, much higher quality endeavor than it follows. And no, I'm not just talking about production value and meme accents. It's a great movie all around.
>>69777955
checked
I get it's a great movie, it is very well done, but even tho it's a head above the usual trash does not make it one of the greats
>>69777751
oh and fucking Kill List. That movie is incredible.
>>69777955
Yeah right
>>69777955
Aha sure it is
>>69769140
The Fagabook -- just fucking stupid and corny.
It Follows -- it bores.
The Witch -- ZzzzzZzzzz.. zz.. zzzZZzzzz....
Mungo Lake -- w-why is the scene so dark... hurr im walkin SLOWLY through the kitchen... interviews dude so realistic... let's pan in REAL SLOW on this underexposed photo to SLOWLY reveal.... fucking nothing
Is the horror audience the literal worst out of every single movie genre?
>le if something doesn't jump out every second it's not scary XD
Fucking neck yourselves.
>>69773690
>>69773730
But horror was never really art in the way that any other genre has been considered. There's nothing patrician about films like Alien or The Thing, but be damned if they aren't great flicks.

Horror directors are the problem. Firstly almost every serious American/European director is too pretentious to touch it, and if somebody does they have to put some forced self-aware meta wank in there.
>>69778492
this anon
every director in horror is a douce or an idiot.
its the non-horror guys that make masterpieces
>>69772943
Does anyone else get really mad at scenes like that or films in general? Holy shit, it's like you're intentionally being a stupid director/writer who can only do cliches.
>>69779189
This fucking movie Woman in Black 2 had a couple of Grave Encounters-like moments. It was retarded.
>>69777317
10/10
bump
>>69781613
if anyone ever remakes this movie without the john carpenter variety show features, it can be creepy as fuck, in the manner of Mothman Prophecies
