Was "The Descent" the last great horror film?
>>
le bumpity bump
>>
It was good. Original, atmospheric, plenty of suspense, blood and guts. Wouldn't go to far as to say it was the last, but stands out in an era where horror had become cliche
>>
it will definitely stand the test of time, whether or not it will be considered a classic remains to be seen
>>
fuck i loved this the first time i seen it, need to watch it again
>>
I'd say so yeah. Genuinely surprised the fuck out of me. Fuck caving.
>>
>>63348671
Yes. Well, definitelly last good horror Ive seen. My claustrophobia only helped.
>>
>>63348671
This was absolutely terrifying
>>
Putting aside the horror, this fucking film gave me some of the worst feels ever at the end.
>>
>>63348671
Evil Dead remake was also pretty good.

Enjoyable horror. I started to lose interest when the chicks suddenly became pickaxe ninjas and the new ending and sequel were terrible.
>>
No, the conjuring was
>>
It Follows
>>
Best moments? For me: 1. the guy killed in first two minutes of film; 2. the girl got stuck in narrow shaft; 3. panicked girl kills her friend
>>
>>63348671
Have you seen Creep? It came out this year ;^)
>>
>>63352788
yeah, it's fun :) not great horror tho
>>
>>63352770
this movie was awesome...
>>
Martyrs

The Descent is damn good though. One of the best monster movies in a long time. Probably since Dog Soldiers.
>>
It follows was pretty good
>>
Idk why everyone raves about The Descent. I thought it was okay. Then again I don't watch a lot of horror movies. I think y'all are easily scared.
>>
>>63353338
it's just kids impressed by well-executed creature effects and edginess.
>>
best scene was when the milf was climbing without safety rope
>>
I don't know I haven't seen it
>>
it was good but it actually would have been better without the voldemorts
>>
Which ending do you guys prefer? I like the darker ending
>>
What was that movie where a film crew are trapped in an apartment block because of a virus?
>>
>>63352722

this movie sucked ass
>>
The only thing this movie is missing to make it perfect is rape. Think about it. Its already an all female cast thrown into a horrifying situation. No escape, getting eaten alive. What else could top that? Some fucking crawlers picking the most attractive of them all in a scene dragging her away and raping her while she watches her friend getting eaten.

Yes, a masterful ruse, Mr/Mrs Descent director.

Dog Soldiers is the best Neil Marshall movie m8
>>
>>63354163

The mutants were still real. Also they cut out the part where everything turns out to be a dream for the american release
>>
>>63354225
And that ending is shit compared to the first cut.

The US ending completely ignores the subplot about the protagonist grieving for her family and the use of the cavern as a metaphor for depression.
>>
>>63354225
'Everything' was literally only the final escape anyway. She's only dreaming actually getting to the surface and driving way, the rest still happened.
>>
>>63354225

Perhaps I should watch the US release then. And I know the mutants were real.

It's just such a lazy trick. I felt bad that the character hadn't actually escaped, but I was much more irritated about being duped like that. It's as though the film has disrespected the audience for having the audacity to have some faith.

Well, I don't believe in a no win scenario, so as far as I'm concerned, she got in that car, told the whole damn world, and after a brief discussion in Parliament the SAS went to work on those pale bastards (the mutants, not the Scotch) and they were never heard from or seen again.
>>
>>63353209
Dunno, I'm still conflicted about Martyrs. Some parts are really great, but I'm really not into pointless torture porn (like 2/5 of Martyrs).

>>63354089
Rec. They really should not make evil guys == zombies
>>
>>63354163

Diud you also miss loli Portman seducing Leon when they had dinner?

Hahahha, silly americans.
>>
>>63348671
It was barely watchable.
>>
>>63354225

Youre getting it wrong. The happy ending IS the fucking american release.
>>
>>63354225
>>63354341
both endings are shit

it's a shit movie because ultimately they didn't have an idea for a story, they just wanted to do a movie in some cave sets with monsters. there's no artistry, it was a technical exercise.

Antichrist

Babadook was great, fuck haters.

FUCK YOU I LIKE IT
>>
>>63354496
it's not bad but you can barely call it horror, it's mostly drama if you think about the babadook as a metapher for her hatred towards her retard child
>>
>>63354531
>le shilling meme
fuck off faggot, nobody cares about /tvt/
>>
>>63354577
>greentext meme lol :DDDD
>why would anyone shill on /tv/ amirite guys xD
>>
>>63354704

Why would anyone shill on /tv/? To reach an audience of, what, a couple of hundred people lurking this particular thread?

And I'm probably being generous.
>>
Evil Dead was great. The problem is the name, not the movie. If it was called The Cabin then it'd be better recieved.
>>
>>63354586
this 2 was fun as well, the cult was amazing aside from the shitty ending, haven't seen 3
>>
>tfw 2 a.m. seven or eight years ago
>pleasant opiate buzz
>The Descent is about to start on HBO
>live in NA but it is the Euro version

That was a very pleasant surprise.

I thought a prequel was set up perfectly, when they found that old gear, buy they went with that terrible sequel.
>>
>>63354137
this made my peepee wiggle
>>
Literally jump scares: the movie
>>
That action scene at the end ruined the entire thing for me
>>
>>63354884
I heard 3 was REALLY shitty and relied heavily on cgi
>>
Only literal fucking retards cave.
Can someone post the image of the guy who got stuck in the shoulder sized hole?
>>
Also reminder that creature horror is the best horror.
>>
>>63354191
Yeah. Really good one desu
>>
>>63354586

Good but not scary
>>
Who else /caver/ here?
>>
>>63352770
4. When the last girl alive is dreaming about her getting out of the fucking cave but she's still there.

5. The ending.
>>
>>63354884
>the cult was amazing aside from the shitty ending
didn't it end with one dude being chased down by a giant demon goat? How was that shitty?
