Alien

Hot take: Evil dead is one of the worst films ive ever seen ngl. One of the films that made me not take horror seriouslh

Funny games on the other hand is one of my all time favs. Never thought of it as a horror tho

My fav horror movie OAT

i love evil dead but i can understand that perspective, its v silly and kinda ridiculous

I was f***in rollliinnnngggggg. niggas were really saying its a classic horror movie

The thing hits different

Both flicks were pure comedy.

Midsommar had a lot of humor but managed to keep a very eerie vibe either way. On my first watch i was def alert af waiting for some sick s*** to happen any second, it was just very off. Midsommar wasn't scary but it sure as hell made me uncomfortable.

Hereditary was in fact pure horror tho, even the scenes that weren't horror were awful to sit through (the dinner scene for example)

Ari Aster just really nails making uncomfortable scenes imo

You like what Dougherty did with KOTM?

i loved it but haven't checked out his other films, Krampus and the one you mention

WOOOOW I can’t believe I didn’t even mention Krampus

Krampus is REALLY good and I def recommend you check it out. It’s all around a great movie.

It has the scares. But it’s a Christmas movie so it has that “appreciate your family” moral of the story. It has a lot of funny scenes for a horror movie lol.. It just hits a lot of notes really well.

KOTM was ehhh. I don’t think it was a movie and budget he was ready to take on. He’s EXCELLENT at low budget horror movies. But a big budget blockbuster movie is something I don’t think he was able to handle..... yet. It was okay but I just wish he would finally focus on Trick R Treat 2

Came into this thread to recommend that movie

what's that movie where nothing happens until the very end and its like suuuuuuuuuper scary s***. has to do with the location too like a forest or something

blairwitch project

Nono its fairly recent

not sure then I haven't seen any recent horror

the witch?

It Follows is one of the hardest horror movies ever.

If you like Eggers/Aster, some obvious recs are:

The House of the Devil (2009) (Dir. West)
The Babadook (2014) (Dir. Kent)
Thirst (2009) (Dir. Chan-wook)

For recent ones, Don’t Breathe was cool

Same with Green Room

classic on top of classic add Suspiria and Phantasm and youre set

This. Super accessible too.

A friend hit me up with a totally different perspective of what it's about and I thought it was even better when I watched it again.

Beyond the Black Rainbow

Sort of movie you can watch multiple times and it gets better each time

Midsommar

The Descent

28 Days Later

The Conjuring is def one of the worst horror franchises to ever exist, imo none of them are worth watching at all
