So what horror film are you watching?

31-10-2015 11:09pm #1

Settling into Re-Animator, not my favourite but it's been years since I last watched it.

KERSPLAT! · 31-10-2015 11:10pm

I'm open to suggestions, preferably on Netflix UK or US

Kermit.de.frog · 31-10-2015 11:12pm

Not much on tv.

Sir Osis of Liver. · 31-10-2015 11:13pm

Knock Knock looks promising.
Downloading it now.

Pretty sure Rosemary's Baby, Funny Games and Kill List are on Netflix.

Spoorloos is on Youtube.

Is terrible. Worse than the green inferno and I had been looking forward to both

DEFTLEFTHAND · 31-10-2015 11:23pm

The Raven, a gothic horror and fictional account of the last days of Edgar Allan Poe. I have a load of stuff taped on sky+.

While it was impressive, it wasn't...scary.

Think Blair Witch Project on Netflix too.

Don't think classics like Ringu, Don't Look Now, Audition, the Exorcist, the Shining, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the Wickerman etc. are on it.

Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You is on youtube.

Yamanoto · 31-10-2015 11:26pm

Might give The Babadook a go, heard good things about it.

mzungu · 31-10-2015 11:27pm

Might give the third Purge movie a blast. Have only seen the first, heard the second was crap but the third is meant to be decent.

Under_Graduate · 31-10-2015 11:27pm

Check out "Nymphomaniac".

I think the directors cut is on Netflix actually.

One of my favorite films.

Actually divided into 2 parts.

Absolutely woeful. I've always let Keanu's lack of acting ability slide but Jesus, he is terrible in this.

Under_Graduate · 31-10-2015 11:28pm

And if you haven't seen it, "Human Centipede 3" is actually decent in a comic sort of way.

I quite enjoyed it.

Bree Olsen looks good in it.

The second was pretty good. Didn't know there was a third so that is what I am gonna watch then

Cantona's Collars · 31-10-2015 11:29pm

Cabin in the Woods just starting on Channel 5

Seen it. Brilliant in a disturbingly creepy way rather than quiet-quiet-BANG

It's...okay. It's different. But for me it lacked scares. But it was original and not like one of those James Wan efforts that blight the horror genre these days.

The BBCs Woman in Black from the late 80s is on youtube, far superior to the poor Daniel Ratcliffe effort a couple of years ago.

Bongalongherb · 31-10-2015 11:31pm

It will be the trilogy Hell-Raiser. Pin-head and his friends and that evil cube that will have me cornered in my abode frightened of what will happen if the bell rings at a late hour from a spacer asking for trick or treat.

kunst nugget · 31-10-2015 11:31pm

If you're looking for something good and spooky, download The Last Shift. Quality scares in that.

Actually it's all here if you want to cast it:

hidinginthebush · 31-10-2015 11:32pm

Just finished Hocus Pocus.

It's fucking shit.

NachoBusiness · 31-10-2015 11:33pm

You can't beat Halloween, Return of The Living Dead, Christine etc.

But, if you like cheesy 80's teen flicks, you could do worse than Trick or Treat (1986).

It's about a fan of a devil worshiping rock star. Only has 5.6 on IMDB. The bastards.

Not sure if it's on Netflix, but there's a poor quality version on YouTube.

Where can you see the 3rd Purge movie

Sir Osis of Liver. · 31-10-2015 11:33pm

Ok,Knock Knock it isn't so.Thanks.
Keanu withers my tits anyway.

Anyone seen The Visit?

Hrududu · 31-10-2015 11:33pm

I'm either going with Silence of the Lambs, which I've seen countless times and love, or What We Do In the Shadows which I haven't seen but comes highly recommended.

No scary films on TV at all

eternal · 31-10-2015 11:34pm

I want to watch one but I'm alone and don't fancy being freaked.

Ooops, my mistake. It must have got mixed up with another franchise. I could have sworn I read a review for the third one. It must have been the second movie I read the review for. I will watch Purge II so.

Part 3 is out mid 2016 according to Wiki.

The visit is decent enough but is cam footage so if you don't like that style then avoid. Also the little fella in it is horrid

They are on the channels we don't usually watch,Dave etc.

The most popular channels are churning out the usual Saturday night junk although ITV2 has the Celebrity Juice Halloween Special.

titan18 · 31-10-2015 11:36pm

I've done Housebound. It Follows, Witching and Bitching, Tales of Halloween and now on The Town That Dreaded Sundown

Yeah, it's grand but it totally falls apart in the third act.

Of the 80s, the Thing is about the best. But a poor decade after the 70s saw horror take off. Lots of slasher efforts like Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th etc. The Evil Dead was decent, way over the top and lots of magic márla effects!

Links234 · 31-10-2015 11:38pm

Watched Tucker & Dale vs Evil last night, and tonight The House of the Devil is on the cards, just because Tom Noonan is in it.

I think Ringu and Audition are the ones I wouldn't watch alone.

Can watch any torture porn Human Centipede type rubbish alone, but the creepy or ghost story ones...no way.

What We Do in the Shadows is quality - one of my favourite films of the year - but it's pure comedy.

Actually Housebound is a great horror comedy and its on Irish Netflix as well.

I found this a bit meh. It set the tone well and then it was all a bit bland.

Are there any really suspenseful scary films out there? I don't mind gore but would prefer none if possible.

Def one of the better comedy horrors, the scene where he cuts through the wasps nest and does a Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre had my wife and me in stitches.

That's the best way to watch a horror, alone in the dark

R- point...

Seen it before but still gives you the chills..

kunst nugget · 31-10-2015 11:43pm

Actually, Babysitter Wanted from the last couple of years is an unknown gem.

Deep Six · 31-10-2015 11:44pm

A Nightmare on Elm Street is on Dave now, Freddy v Jason on Sky 1 at 11. Will be watching both nothing better than some Mr Krueger on Halloween

R P McMurphy · 31-10-2015 11:44pm

Behind the mask: the rise and fall of Leslie Vernon is pretty good. Was a lot better than I was expecting

Just watched that the other day. It's fantastic. I've been having a bit of a horror comedy run lately. A friend of mine was recommending Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, so that might be up for a look soon.

Fully agree about the Babadook.

As for suspense, it's not a film but this was nice and creepy...

I would love to be ten again and watch poltergeist one and two

Nothing scares me now apart from certain aspects of real life

Aye, in terms of atmosphere, Ringu is pretty much in a league of its own. Mind you, Ringu II was not all that bad either.

White Noise is extremely frightening but I haven't seen it in years.

So what horror film are you watching?
