October/Halloween/Horror Recommendations

The Halloween episode of Killinascully (“the nature walk”) is a bit of craic, with 1 or 2 jump scares and a few “scream out loud” moments.

I had to download it, I haven’t seen it streaming anywhere.

Watched Censor at the weekend.

There was a very good idea for a film in there. The first half was quite effective. I loved the set design and lighting and the scenes in the censors office. The mood was quite ominous.

But the second half was a bit too arthouse and the ending a bit vague and unsatisfying. Niamh Algar was unsurprisingly very good in it.

YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER is very good. And it is Irish. Plus it is set during Halloween. Not scary but very creepy and tense. And one of the best jump moments in horror films.

Strange how many Irish movies slip by me. I have to start paying more attention.

Going to watch TALK TO ME tomorrow.

I always to watch horror films in the lead up to Halloween something keeps getting I. The way and I end watching them through November.

Speaking of Prime video they waited till November to drop some pretty renowned horror to the platform the likes of Green Room, Return of the Living Dead,The Voices & Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (1978 remake). Great timing lads!

I rewatched Tucker and Dale versus the Evil, comedy horror and Cabin in the woods, which has explanations for all horror movie silly character decisions. Both definitely worth a rewatching.

Agree this film is killer, its a shame there hasn't been a sequel.

Thanks for he heads up on the that flick, a prequel then.

I bought an Amazon firestick so I could download the shudder app and watch it without having to constantly cast it from my phone with inconsistent connections etc. But I can't download it and it's showing as unavailable. Is there a way to get around this?

I contacted shudder and they said that because my account was created through Google play app, it's completely separate to the shudder website account. But shouldn't the app still be available to download on the firestick, and only not work when I try to sign in?

It's installed on my Firestick, but perhaps only because it's a Firestick 4K?

I can even open it and control it via voice control with my Echo Dot

Yeah works great.. I do sometimes need to force stop it and clear cache to get latest updates, but that's minor

I have it paired with NordVPN on my firestick and get all the US shows

I watched ‘No one will save you’. I really enjoyed it. There is almost no dialogue in it. The effects are good. The backstory is interesting and the main actress good. It’s about a woman that lives alone and has an alien break into her house. I’m surprised there wasn’t more interest in it.

In A Violent Nature is on Shudder now (US anyway)

It's got a lot of silent walking sections that might seem a bit prolonged, but overall it's worth a watch… some very inventive death scenes

Was just thinking of this thread.

Have watched X but haven't watched Pearl or Maxxxine yet.

Have been watching Shudder's "Horror's Greatest" series and some films I haven't seen that looked interesting. So far they've covered Tropes and cliches, Giant monsters, Japanese Horror and Comedy.

Was trying to think what's the best horror film series.

Sorry, I just meant film series like Nightmare on Elm St, Paranormal Activity, etc. Think all have had their misses. Have only seen the first 2 PA films. Keep meaning to go back to them and maybe the Conjuring series since only seen the first one.
