Are we entering a new golden age for horror?
Every single modern horror movie gets amazing reviews before it's out
We already did

You'll fall for the Lights Out is good meme too.
>>72109350
I actually think this movie looks pretty good based on the previews.
>>72109350
>9 reviews
>i-it's a good movie XDD
>>72109482
this was shit
>>72109350
I sure hope so. I'm not too big a fan of horror specifically, but we sure as hell as need a golden age of something. Everything nowadays flops or just isn't worthwhile.
>>72109522
Babadook was shit
It follow was 7/10
i used to have extreme phobia of the dark
>>72111827
That's because most of the media is owned by about 5 companies, and they use it to push political agendas instead of making films that stand on their own merit.
>>72109522
It Follows is great. I wouldn't even qualify The Babadook as horror.
>PG 13
>>72109350
We've been in it for a while now.

The short it's based off, for those that haven't seen it already.
>>72109350
No, the bar is just set incredibly low.
I must admit I enjoy all these modern, indie, gory, digital-as-fuck-looking horror films. It Follows, Green Room, You're Next, all very enjoyable.

FOR
FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME.
IS THIS A GOOD FUCKING HORROR MOVIE OR SOME FUCKING SHITTY OVERHYPED MEME MOVIE LIKE THE WITCH AND BABADOOKIE
>>72109482
>still pretending this shit was good
>>72113428
I loved PD, but god damn, the second season was awful and the last two eps of s3 were gutter trash.
Actually s2 had some great moments, but to much wasted time.
Also, it wasn't really "horrifiying", just pulpy thriller stuff.
>>72109522
It Follows was pretty good.
Babadook was rolling like a motherfucker until it crashed into that awful fucking ending.
>>72115134
I think you already know the answer.
>>72115111
Fuck off
>>72115212
Kyolo, shit?
>>72115134
It only takes like 20-30 minutes to watch a movie at 2.5x. Why not give it a try and see if you like it?
Is this an actual horror movie or LEL OOGA BOOGA JUMP SCARE I GOT YOU HAHAHAH snorefest?
>>72115241
I'm curious, what to you is an actuall horror movie?
>>72109350
>entering
This "golden age" started with The Conjuring or Babadook.
A horror film even won FIPRESCI award at Cannes.

>>72114515
This guy gets it. They're short and do what they want to then leave and its goddamn entertaining.
>>72115335
The shining wasn't a jump scare movie, jaws wasn't, the exorcist wasn't do I need to continue? I think you know what he means.
>>72115418
There were jump scares in all these movies.
>>72115447
You're mom is a jump scare
>>72115447
Not the way they're done now with shrieking loud music. And very few of them.
>The Conjuring is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by James Wan and written by Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes
>Chad
wtf I hate this movie now
Just watched It. Any similar movies? Not a fan of slasher shit, and I dislike moves that are simply depressing/boring (i.e. not looking for Friday the 13th type stuff, and I hate movies like the woman in black). I'm sort of new to horror.
Saw Lights Out at a Warner Bros screening last Wednesday.
Solid 7.5/10, maybe 8/10 if i'm being generous.
One of the better horror movies released in the past decade but I wouldn't say it was groundbreaking or anything, really interesting concept though, it keeps you entertained and on your toes. Definitely had me hesitant to turn out the lights when i got home that night.
>>72109350
The Wailing was the best horror movie I've seen in a long time
>>72115241
The latter
>another pg13 James Wan flick which AGAIN has a family as the main characters and thus removes most of the tension
>>72109522
what are your favourite recent horror movies, anon?
>>72114355
>phone user
Fuck off please
Can someone link the wailing?
>>72115680
7.5? Go on then fuckface, what would you say are 10/10 horror kino's then? Since you sound like a fucking expert. Go on then cocksucker fucking educate. Or are you scared to show off your own tastes?
>>72115383
The only reason people like the babadook is that it hit you over the head with symbolism so hard, that despite the fact only retards and children could miss it, somehow still causes people to think they are cultured and insightful for noticing it, and so they praise the movie because they get off on appearing smart.
>>72109350
No offence but the trailer made it look like a comedy when I first saw it the way that women turned on the light and off and on and off and on multiple times as the thing standing in the kitchen kept on disappearing and reappearing.
I almost thought it was a parody movie until the second part of the trailer made it actually serious.
>>72117230
Doesn't matter what he lists
The only "good" horror is lame af shit like excorcist, thing, and any terrible asian shit like the host.
tl;dr shit that hasn't been scary for 40 years
I started getting into horror movies recently, and I found that there's really nothing that scares me anymore, not even the jump scares, I kind of expect them at any point. But from newer movies I've seen, I found Southbound really interesting. Not scary but sort of intense. I've also seen that witch movie the other day, which was fucking awful.
The only good horror of the last few years wasStarry Eyes
>>72117305
Such an informed comment. So you're saying that all horror movies are basically shit. Well thanks for clearing that up smart guy. Now go back to blowing your dad you fucking maggot.
>>72117466
If a horror movie can't scare you its shit
No old horror movies are capable of scaring a normal adult in 2016
Therefore they're shit yes
:V
Now go be upset that you cant dickwave your patrcian horror tastes IMDB list on here fuccboi
>hurr watch The Orphanage and Crimson Peak, they are the best, scariest horror movies I have ever seen. Based Mexican directors
>they turn out to be boring melodramatic pieces of shit
Build wall.
Just because a "horror" movie doesn't have much jumpscares and gore doesn't mean it's actually scary.
>>72113430
You let this happen, Americans
>>72115111

Who the fuck gets frightened by movies? What a ridiculous metric to judge a film by.

>>72114515
my nigger, i actually like this kind off digital look too
Anyone going to watch Don't Breathe?
Sicario's first act has been the only scary cinema in years, even decades. Ghost, monsters, witches, etc. That shit ain't scary. It's a fucking joke. Horror movies to me are alt. comedy.
There's nothing more scary than a human being and scary human beings are very close to us all.
>>72118522
>There's nothing more scary than a human being
Except for literally everything.
>millenials actually enjoy shit like babadook and it follows and sinister and insidious and all this other tripe shit so more of this shit continues to be produced and the bar keeps being set lower and lower
I want off this ride.
>>72118522
>Ghost, monsters, witches
Well all "monsters" are basically just what we find scary in other people amplified into a new being.
>>72109350
>>72111827
I've seen plenty of previews, and the short looks like 100x better. I remember seeing it when it first came out and thinking it was very well done and had all it needed as is. I watched it many times since then and it's perfect just as is.
They should have left it alone and just put the creators on a project that was more fleshed out. The movie looks fucking stupid. The short was fairly relate able... we've all been there, going to bed home alone and seeing things in the shadows. The movie will ruin that. I'd rather pay to see the short in theaters than this pretty much guaranteed P.O.S.
>go into the vvitch expecting horror
>it was just a bland heightened reality drama about silly pilgrims
>>72118703
It follows was good though, don't fall for the meme
>lmao horror is supposed to be scary
No, only children get scared by something on a screen.
True horror is meant to be unsettling.
>>72109350
Isn't James Wan the guy doing Aquaman? It could actually turn out to be a good movie
>>72109350
My sister saw an early screening and said it was complete shit. I believe her since we both love horror movies and have pretty similar taste in them. Don't believe RT's lies.
>>72118765
Horror is meant to be dead.
>>72118732
I hated that they started to explain what the ghost came from even in the trailer, jesus fucking christ don't people understand that the unknown is the scariest thing
>>72118732
I had sleep paralysis and night terrors as a kid. I would wake up and be unable to make a noise as I would watch shadows on my wall slowly come towards me and all I wanted to do was scream, but I couldn't.
I've never felt terror in my life like I did on those nights, my entire bed would be soaked in sweat.
>PG-13 """"horror""""
>trailer showed nothing but jump scares
>retarded gimmick about lights
Nah this shit is gonna be shit.
>>72113545
It Follows was okay... they did a decent job of explaining the monster just enough to make it interesting yet leave some mystery. The soundtrack wasn't bad, and I didn't have any real issues with the casting. The concept was original. I really can't put my finger on it, but it just fell flat for me... I didn't really see any substance.
Babadook I would have enjoyed more if there wasn't so much goddamn shilling. I bet they're STILL shilling it in /x/ horror threads and I see it mentioned here too often. It was okay, but not as a horror. It was kind of a psychological thriller maybe? idk. The biggest thing with that one for me was the pacing was way off. They actually did a great job with the monster/whatever that was supposed to be, but it was like 95% slow as fuck with less than a minute here and there of suspense. Would have done much better if marketed as a grieving wife piece, whatever genre that falls in (and less shilling).
>>72109482
This was genuinely bad from start to finish.
It's quite literally a film for dumb people to feel smart.
>>72118912
I personally think it follows should have been much longer, you didn't really get the feel of being "followed" while watching it. It should have been more slowburn. To really get that sense of being stalked for a longtime and not being able to escape wherever you are
>>72118243
Just seeing this thread reminded me of it. I can't get to sleep now, and I haven't seen it in like a year.
I have a test I'm trying to get good sleep for, thanks assholes.
>>72114515
You're Next and Green Room are pretty fucking real, though. Anyone who's been in high stress situations like that can totally relate, and they're both fairly plausible situations. It Follows does have a similar atmosphere, but it's more of a stare into the abyss and it stares back sorta thing.
I enjoyed all three. You're Next is the most fun to watch, Green Room I only watched once just the other night and really liked the pacing and quick but smooth escalation. A lot of us have been there, where it's all good until all of a sudden we realize it wasn't good as of like 10 minutes ago.
>>72118912
Are you even a fan of horror movies? It's such a broad genre that saying something like 'Would have done much better if marketed as a grieving wife piece' is pretty dumb.
Many people seems to be nostalgic about the 80s slashers for some reason even if most of them aren't particularly good.
>>72115418
alright, grandpa, we get it, things were scarier in the 17th century.
>>72115134
The short was fucking kino as fuck. I was really disappointed to see the previews for the full movie, honestly. The monster and concept look stupid as fuck.
>>72118522
>Sicario
>scary
>human beings
>scary
Unless you're a pampered first-worlder, humans stop being scary by the time you reach the teenage years because by that time you would already be desensitized to humans being scum.
Things like Parkinson's and other incurable illnesses or so-called "acts of God" are infinitely more scary than any human being, no matter how depraved, could be.
>>72115383
Earliest I can think of that started this shitfest was Paranormal Activity. Probably something early 2000's that actually did it (TCM comes to mind but that wasn't too bad). I'm guessing it evolved from the self-aware horror types from the 90's and they made money from it so they just kept going.
>>72115447
They were all very well executed, and for the most part far apart. Those movies had great pacing, too. All of this is pretty much absent from anything we see today. They just throw in jump scares whenever they feel like it and hope teenage boys use it for dates in the hopes that their date will grab them during a scare.
>>72115680
Did/do you know about the short that is only 1000x better and totally shit on by this as far as I can tell by everything released so far?
>>72117348
I find that the best ones scare me long after. For instance, IT has given me a life-long fear of drains and closing my eyes in the shower. Chucky and that segment of that one anthology with the weird fucking tribal doll (can't remember for the life of me) have forever made me afraid of small spaces, and of course dolls. Jaws and Deep Blue Sea combined have given me a weird-as-fuck fear of going under in a pool and coming back up in the middle of the ocean with a fin circling. The short this movie is based on, ever since I first saw it years ago, has given me the fear of watching shadows when I'm headed to bed... mostly shadows as I turn off the lights. Most of these got me young, but Light's Out isn't that old and it had a similar effect.
This thread is fucking with my head. I'm a full grown fucking man, and still I just freaked out when the door cracked slightly (probably from the AC) and I couldn't find my phone for the flashlight. I ran to the door like a fucking child.
That's what I want from a horror movie, not cheap poorly executed jump scares.
>>72117363
You joke? I actually liked it, but I didn't know it was listed as horror in any form or think it should be.
>>72118804
Photos of sister please.
>>72119653
I'm serious, but I unironically believe that Inland Empire is much better than any horror movie, including most giallo and everyone's favourites like The Shining so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
>>72118847
I've had sleep paralysis too, but the only times I remember were as an adult luckily. Like thousands of voices whispering and tendrils reaching out from the darkness... even as a 20-some it really fucked with me for a long time.
>>72119729
I thought starry eyes was mediocre but you are absolutely right with Inland Empire, only movie that has spooked me desu
>>72119093
Normally I wouldn't put myself into a group like that, but hell yeah I'm a horror fan. They were my favorites growing up and I think the only reason I'm not so much into them now is because the newer shit can't even compare to the older shit.
Sure, MAYBE Babadook can be classified as horror in some obscure way just like I (a white guy of german/french descent) can maybe be classified as african american because my great great great great great grandma cucked my great great great great great grandpa with a black guy.
I really love movies like A Werewolf in London and The Thing, and would probably sell my soul to get a resurgence of that kind of quality to replace the bullshit Conjuring/Paranormal Activity/Sinister type shit we've been getting lately. Even early 2000's is an extreme jump in quality compared to recent years.
The only recent horror Kino is The Witch.

I couldn't stop laughing at the reactions of FBI agents to finding corpses in the wall and the whole scene taking itself completely seriously only helped to make it more hilarious.
It's a common knowledge that cartels do shit like that. What the fuck were they expecting?

Three great modern horror movies.
You're Next is the most fun.
Green Room has the most tension and best performances.
It Follows is the spookiest with best music.
>>72118163
oh it's this faggot who thinks when people say 'they were scared by a movie' he literally thinks in his autist brain 'wow these are some weak bitches getting genuinely terrified by a movie'
you cannot compare words you would use in real life to what you experience on film in a horror movie. all words used are relative to the reality, or lack thereof of the subject we're describing.
when people say 'ah that film was a scary film' what they mean is that the film portrayed a real life event into something you can empathise with decently well.
>>72120189
Looks like someone didn't understand it.
The Witch is pleb filter.
