Let's talk about quality films dealing with /x/-related content. Recommend, discuss, criticize, whatever.
Pic related are some /x/-related films I enjoyed. The Japanese one on the bottom is Noroi: The Curse.
Sinister wasn't bad up until the end, which is a recurring problem in the genre. I don't know why it's so hard for writers to finish a story right. I'm looking at you, Stephen King

KANNNNAAAAA!!!
Also is coherence any good?
>>17748985
Coherence was good. Not really much horror like the other ones there, but it was a bit freaky. I'd recommend giving it a watch.

Never said that. It's a slow burn with some pacing issues and not a lot of scares. It isn't everyone's thing, and that's fine.
>>17749089
It's really a top-notch horror comedy. That ending was pure gold.
>>17749034
Can you please elaborate on your statment? i thought it was great, something diffrent and actually historically accurate (scene with levitating witch after smearing herself with baby's body)
>>17749097
I was way more scared by it then "normal" horror movies. Aatmosphere was great, on pair with soundtrack and scenography.
>>17749117
You're suggesting that witch levitation and baby-smearing is historically accurate? The 17th century was a WILD RIDE.
>>17749123
You shouldn't be afraid to laugh, anon.
>>17749137
why should i laugh? The movie was creepy as fuck, especially with those fuckin' twins
>>17749131
well i may have put it wrong, but it was believed that smearing yourself with a unbaptized baby or child fat would make you levitate.
>>17749155
>Baby-dick
>Smug goat
>Crow pecking mother's tits
>Goat somehow headbutts father to death in a hilariously oversized stack of wood

If you were able to take those scenes seriously, then you should be more frightened by the stick up your ass than dank goat memes.
>>17749117
It wasn't scary for one.Which is a NO NO for a purported horror.

Agreed, I enjoy a lot of his stuff but I'm usually prepared for a not great ending, I like a lot of his short stories though

I just fail to understand people like your guys interest if any in horror films if most everything is laughable or ridiculous to you.

>if most everything is laughable or ridiculous to you.
Not really. It Follows really creeped me the fuck out. It's just that the atmospheric part of The Witch wasn't really made to 'click' with most people. It just came out as over the top drama.
>>17748810
An /x/-related movie I highly recommend is Possession (1981). If you're watching it for the first time, don't look at any trailers or anything, just go in cold.
>>17749433
Each of the scenes I mentioned could have been executed in a very eerie manner by a competent director. However, they came off as comical because Robert Eggers couldn't decide whether he wanted to do a horror movie, a period drama, or an art film. Most "truly terrifying" scenes come off as comical if you're unable to preserve tone and tension; when you're genre-jumping every scene, it's constantly breaking tension. It seems to me that Eggers was more concerned with folklore and historical accuracy for its own sake than incorporating it into the plot in any meaningful, interesting, or frightening fashion.
>>17749632
Maybe his Nosferatu will be alright. Hopefully it will just be based on the Murnau film, since Vampire folklore is inconsistent and mostly retarded.
>>17749796
It'll be interesting to see how it compares to Herzog's.
>>17748985
I saw it yesterday actually! It was pretty cool, thought it would be more horror though, but it was probably better that they didn't force the horror.
Pure, undistilled kino

Beyond The Black Rainbow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWF0bBKhe6o
Not exactly scary, but definitely /x/-core if you pay attention. Paying attention may be troubling for you out there with a short attention span (you have to wait for it to get good as fuck), but it definitely worth it. Also, if you love art-house, this is your film.
The Holy Mountain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdXGhsAynGI
Once again, not exactly scary (per se, the feelings of uneasiness are quite impressive though), but deals with a lot of /x/-related themes throughout the picture, such as dimensional bending and finding metaphysical enlightenment. Again, a film great for art-house lovers.
Thank you >>17750898 for suggesting The 9th Gate, that's one of my all-time favourites, and thank you >>17751158 for suggesting Jacob's Ladder, I dare not watch that movie again because it absolutely horrified me.
Also, >>17749348 , great work with spreading the word about The Fountain. Probably Aronofsky's most underrated and underwatched work.
>>17751406
>and thank you >>17751158 (You) for suggesting Jacob's Ladder, I dare not watch that movie again because it absolutely horrified me.
Yeah man. JL gets me more than any other because Jacob Singer's situation is deeply disturbing to me. I would rather be in the shoes of any other horror movie character's than his.

>>17751477
Awesome film, and extremely believable until I recognized the actor from Safety Not Guaranteed. Mr. Peachfuzz scenes were the best.
On that note, did anyone see "They're Watching (2016)"? I feel like I'm the only one in love with how meta and smart this movie is, including the cheesy langoliers style ending effects. However, discussing this movie would only ruin the surprise.
Also, what's /x/ favourite recent slasher flick? I'm partial to The Collector, I wish it had gained the popularity of the undeserving Saw franchise.
>>17751441
You know I really wish I did, but I think the only thing that comes close is Solaris.
There is, however, a short film by George Lucas (it was basically his first claim to fame, so don't panic, this is definitely pre-90's Lucas) called THX 1138 (and, before you ask, no this is not the feature length film [which was completely ripped off by Michael Bay with his work, The Island] THX 1138, and yes, this is where THX came from because of the short film's emphasis on sound). While it may be hard to relate this piece to /x/, (it's a little more sci-fi than paranormal), there are some certain aspects of it that are /x/, such as mind-control via transmitted frequencies. Fortunately enough, this gem is readily available on the Youtube. Also, I feel that this is one of the only films (along with Beyond the Black Rainbow) that produces the same feelings associated with Boards of Canada.

I am not particularly sure if I'd say Cushing was more important to horror than Boris Karloff or Lon Chaney Sr. To me he's a great actor who's wonderful the horror films he's in, but he's always the second fiddle. Never really the monster or the main interest in the film. Definetely not on the same level as a Vincent Price. Kind of odd he's the main focus in your picture. Love him though.

>>17749796
There's going to be a new Nosferatu? That sounds awful. Today's horror films rely too much on jumpscares and human backstory instead of the gothic scenery and the other worldly surreal kind of feeling you get when watching films like Nosferatu and Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. I just don't it being about a bunch of teens visit this castle and Count Orlok just kills them off one by one in a generic slasher kind of way.

Don't understand how people found it scary. It was a great historical drama with some eerie scenes, but not scary
>>17757096
You didn't see movies like TCM back in 1974. You may say it's probably one of the most original and pure horror movies out there. It doesn't follow a specific formular and it had such a frightening grainy sense of isolation and realism. Truly one of the few horror films that I legit find scary. Nothing like it existed at the time. You're probably just too ignorant to understand. I don't mean that as an insult. It's a very important film and deserves the praise it gets.
As much as I liked The Witch, it felt like a watered down version of pic related. Both movies compliment each other well thou

This is literally the only film after watching on Netflix repeatedly (which I tend to do a lot of with their best ones) that I actually purchased after they stopped streaming it. I only have about 25 DVDs to my name, so that's saying something.
This film had it all; visuals, soundtrack, originality... and something so magical about it that it even induced me to create artwork inspired by the film (mostly through beadingas a medium).
I pray that Cosmatos directs something similar again, or even anything new at this point!

Yes it is. Great 90's cheese. It's surprisingly creepy. Definetely left an impact on me. Would recommend. Great movie.
Second batch here. Mom's got a date with a vampire is silly, but still fun. The rest are just so great.
>>17757570
Dawn of the Dead
>>17757570
re-animator is a classic. Really funny film. The best zombie film is probably either Dawn of the Dead or Day of the Dead. Would of said Evil Dead, but Deadites aren't Zombies.
>>17757570
Damn of the Dead is the best classic zombie movie. 28 Days Later and Rec are probably the best modern zombie flics.
>>17757575
Last batch. Saw DDTT a few years back. Sadly didn't hold up, but I may have a different opinion now.
If you're a fan of the slasher genre, pic related is a awesome pseudo-documentary about a crew following a would-be serial killer.
>>17757585
You obviously didn't read the novella before the movie.
Any I don't know if it was suggested yet and too tired to look but Necromentia. It has something to at least offend everybody, worth a watch if your a jaded horror viewer. I didn't find it scary but there was some disturbing parts which is rare for me unless it's an Achelous tendon or heel getting fucked up. I dunno why specifically that but I get the willies from seeing those shots.
>>17749348
I bet I won't like it
>>17757684
I have read Lovecraft's Novel, but I completely separate it from the film. The original story of Peter Pan is much different than the Disney film, but we obviously separate them.
>>17757707
I get that it's totally different and should be viewed from a different scope then the book, but reading it first ruined the movie for me. The guy who played West did a killer performance though. He was perfect. Same with his assistant, he got down that almost exhausted tone that the narrator had in the book.

>>17757724
The source material is always better. The movie is wonderful as its own thing. Haven't seen the sequels and I probably never will. Already too many horror movies I haven't watched and need to. Feel like a pleb even though I've seen so many greats. Hell, I have never fully watched Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th, but I still consider myself to be more of a true hardcore fan of horror because I've sat down and watched Nosferatu, Dr. Caligari, Dracula, Frankenstein, Invisible Man, The original Fly, House of Wax, and literally a ton of others. Most of these films have never been watched by the average horror fan nowadays. I just don't give a shit about Jaws and Child's Play and all the Generic slashers that was shat out all throughout the 80's.
>>17757749
You made a movie with your friend? That's cool.

>implying that I'm a 20something NEET. Or even buy blueray. I probably have DVD'S older than you.
Seems nobody ever talks about this movie and it makes me kinda sad cause this is one of my favorite movies that terrified the fuck out of me. The scene when Leguizamo lays there saying "I exist" scared the fuck out of me. Then again I'm a huge pussy about the dark.
>>17757749
Just watched that like earlier today cause I was browsing Netflix. Idk why it has half a star. Good as fuck.
>>17757805
Looks like it's because it was "long and boring".
Just a lot of scenes without much going on in them. I personally liked those parts.
>>17757771
DVDs didn't exist at the time I was born. Or at least the CDs weren't used for films. Laserdisc was still around but they were too expensive. I also find it funny how you say a "20something" and still think DVD's existed 20+ years ago. They really were sold in the late late 90's. Even then, most people were still buying VHS Tapes.
I'm 20 by the way.
>>17757799
It's hard to talk about a movie I've never heard of.
>>17757816
Yeah the whole movie was about how he's schizo and seems completely normal til it gets so fucked for a couple minutes. Most horror movie fans today just want to see blood and gore and jump scares for an hour with 20 minutes of plot thrown in there.
>>17757827
Then watch it. Surprised you haven't heard of it. Its got a couple of big-ish stars in it
>>17757855
I'll watch it if you watch Roger Corman's The Raven.

>>17757888
>it was alright

>>17757818
This. DVD debuted in 1995 but I didn't see a single DVD movie in a store until 1999 or so. Even then it was a few more years until DVDs started outselling VHSs.
>>17757754
That's some good stuff right there. I will say ANoES (the original only) and Child's Play are good horror movies worth watching at least once. What other horror movies have you not seen that you want to?
>>17757897
Well I've just seen a shit ton of movies so it hasn't really stuck with me I'm afraid. It's a good movie, don't get me wrong. But my favorite Corman is House of Usher.
>>17757920
Bucket of Blood!!!!!!!!
>>17757818
What I meant was that most ppl 25+ nowadays own a hell of a lot more DVDS than I do, and not from their parent's library. I didn't mean ALL of my DVDS are older than you are, but then again with my 30something feeble brain I'm probably confusing when DVD'S actually replaced laser CD'S in the 90's. Still, they first became available in 1996... your supposed birth year FWIW.

>>17757952
I'm worried Wicker Man will be boring. Doesn't seem very horror, and the trailer did not help.
Also worried about The Fly because it doesn't star Vincent Price. Though I'm sure the effects are great.
The ones I'm looking forward to the most are Suspiria and House. Something about 70's foreign horror films that seem very creative. We're they ever dubbed in English or am I stuck with watching it subbed. I've noticed watching a horror film in which I have to look at the words at the bottom of the screen constantly really ruin my suspension I disbelief. Suspiria may be in English. Not really sure. I know it's an Italian film, so it may be dubbed considering all Italian films are like that. There aren't any dialogue in their films and they usually put in dialogue later
>>17758025
Did someone say Vincent Price?

The Wicker Man is every bit as horror as the others, it just unravels as a mystery. I like the way it unfolds slowly. Some might find it boring but I don't.
The Fly is The Fly - David Cronenberg style. If you like him, you'll love his take on the classic. It's much more visceral than the original as you'd expect.
An American Werewolf in London is simply the most unique spin on the werewolf sub genre as I've ever seen.
The Thing is pure excellence the whole way through. The cast, the acting, the paranoia, the legendary special effects, everything.
House is a ride. It's not one I watch all the time but to say it's unique is an understatement. It's like Japanese Evil Dead 2 cranked up to 11.
As for Suspiria all I have to say is this: I went into it with extremely high expectations and it still blew me away. Simple as that, I heard it was amazing, figured it would be, watched it, and it immediately became a personal favorite. And yes it is in English. No subtitles required.
I really hope you enjoy most of these if not all of them.

That sounds like the greatest thing I've ever heard.

Seconding the recommendation, at times seem weird for the sake of beign weird but it justifies itself with awesomeness.
Great camera work.
Next of kin 1982
And for the epic lulz, I bought a vampire motorcycle, just watch it and thank me later.

What's the most fucked up horror film? I'm not saying dark or disgusting like cannibal holocaust. Fucked up as in just really weird.
>>17758269
Street Trash for funny kind of wierd. Necromentia for really fucked up wierd. Same anon who recommended it before.
Does Plan 9 from outer space count as horror?

I actually liked everyone except their shitty boss, but I feel like people who are into behind the scenes filmmaking and shit will appreciate it more. Still a pretty good Found Footage movie in my opinion, but I'm glad you liked the ending.

There's nothing that makes my stomach turn more than slashers and found footage films.

Not every lovecraft story had to do with cosmic horrors and crazy space incomprehensible forbidden knowledge.
If you read his early stuff (IE rats in the walls) You'll see he focused more on atmospheric horror and the effects that an incredibly vague and sometimes completely unseen antagonist had on the sanity of the protagonists.
This is exactly what The Witch is about.

Not horror, but very /x/ related. It's a documentary about pic related tiles showing up on streets since the 80's. It's a fun watch.

You're confusing 'Lovecraftian' with 'Gothic' horror, you Redditor cunt. The stories Lovecraft wrote which weren't "cosmic horrors and crazy space incomprehensible forbidden knowledge" were either attempts to copy Poe or Lord Dunsany's style. You imbeciles can pretend the VVVVitch is a horror movie all you want, but when you start calling it Lovecraftian, you've lost your fucking minds.
>>17759935
You're fucking stupid, one of the core concepts of lovecraftian horror is that the main antagonist is incredibly vague and affects the protagonists on a psychological level.
>"Lovecraftian horror is a subgenre of horror fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknown (and in some cases, unknowable) more than gore or other elements of shock, though these may still be present."
Everything about the horror of The Witch screams lovecraftian influences.
Fuck whatever shitty Witch movie you people keep bitching about.
What do you think of 1990's, The Witches?

Can we just agree it's a severely overused term, and since it's a vague definition to begin with it's pretty much meaningless. Once something like that is on the back of a game box it doesn't mean anything lol

And you'll never come back.
Now, if you want to go real crazy, watch On the Silver Globe by the same director. With subs.
The Chern will drive you to absolute madness, if the movie doesn't.

I can't find SHIT on the Cherns, for fuck's sake.
Obscure movie for sure but so damn interesting.

Damn, I didn't knew there was a movie about this, I didn't even remember the tiles at all. Thanks mate.
>>17760452
I think the question was asked to people with good taste.
>>17760523
You mean people who likes movies aimed for children that are now 30 and someway think that nostalgia makes everything good? The witch transformations are pretty cool, but that's about it, cheesy picture with cheesy actresses.
