Re-posted from the Scream thread:

Saw the new Scream on Friday night. Better than i thought. I didn't watch any trailers on it going in, but my wife is a fan of the original so we went.

Surprisingly better than i thought. It wasn't as good as the original of course, but it held its own. It made fun of itself, which was nice. It embraced some of the the things that were unavoidably cheesy and didn't take itself too seriously.

The plot twist was unoriginal. But the stabbings were brutal enough without being particularly gory or overly bloody.

Worth the watch if you're a fan of the franchise.

Holy shit!! This looks crazy as ****!!!!! Def want to see this!!

That does look interesting. Stephen Lang seems like a natural playing a creepy psycho killer.

IN! Looks pretty good!

Looks cool, but not getting any hopes up...

Any good recommendations on the Shudder app?

Anything For Jackson is the first Shutter movie to come to mind. It came out a couple of years ago and was one of the most ****ed up/terrifying movies I've seen in quite some time. The plot doesn't do it justice

A sinister couple hatch a supernatural scheme to resurrect their dead grandson through a pregnant woman.

I've been meaning to watch a flick called VFW with him but I just never get around to it. Anyone seen it? Ton of great character actors in it...

VFW is fun. Not a ton of substance but its super violent and styled nicely. I enjoyed it.

Its on Shudder for whoever was asking about Shudder recs upthread.

Finally got around to seeing Jordan Peele's Candyman.

I was a fan as a kid and was looking forward to it.

This movie sucked asshole. They turned Candyman into a social justice simp.

I knew there'd be social justice tones, but holy **** did they lay it on thick.

Candyman no longer kills those who summon his name. Now he just kills white cops and white people.

This shit was whack. No wonder it was on Amazon Prime for free.

They turned Hellraiser into a chick?

Ahhhh shit.

Media is female now. Whatever.

I'm more worried about the property in the hands of Hulu/Disney.

It's effectively DISNEY that's making Hellraiser. Yeah. Get your mind around that...

Who isn’t scared of their lady? Seems natural.

Soooo....the new Hellraiser isn't a chick. It's a trans.

It’s an epidemic.

Holy shit! That looks awesome!

I'd argue that's oddly fitting...

Yes it appears Pinhead is a female now. It's odd that it's 4 weeks away from releasing and there's only a 2 second title teaser and a still image of the female Pinhead. You'd think there would be a bit more by now. Oh well. 99% chance it's terrible anyway.

"We have such sights to show you." takes on a whole new meaning now doesn't it.

It's not "The" Pinhead. It's a new cenobite.

Hellraiser: Shark Week

Speak No Evil on Shudder is some ****ed up shit.

Slow burn of creepy awkwardness that finally delivers with some biblical horror. Can't say I'd recommend it for everyone, but if you're into slow burns of creepiness that waits until the very end to delivery, it definitely delivers in a WTF was that shit kind of way.

I will check it out!

7/10

It has a pacing and tone very similar to 'The Shining'. Psychological horror more than boo or blood. Starts off slow but when it gets going it's very cool. Some moments you just want to look away from the screen it's so uncomfortable.

Amazon is offering a 7 day free trial for Shudder. Pretty sure all they do is horror.

Nebraska vs. OU - 2022...****ing horror at it's most boring. Oh sorry...wrong thread.

Well shit, I gotta read back more before posting.

Not sure how this is getting as good of reviews as it is on Rotten Tomatoes. Saw it and it had a few creepy/jumpy parts but it was very predictable and just very meh in my opinion. I would say 5 out of 10 or maybe even a 6 out of 10 as it wasn't completely horrible.

I watched the new Scream it was ok.

Your insight is unapparelled.

Wife and I watched this last night. Interesting. Can’t say it has a lot of shocks, but it does a good job setting a creepy atmosphere (and recreating 1978). I liked the ending, too. All the pieces fitting together.

All the Scream movies are the same. Did you want a Siskel and Ebert review?

Watching A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Freddys Revenge once again. I saw the sequel before I saw the original. Freddy was definitely at his scariest in this one. I owned the VHS growing up. It had been a long time since I saw it.

My only experience with the franchise was half-watching the original once a couple years back, but I liked the new Hellraiser.

The new Hellraiser is still on my mind a bit.

There was a scene with, I think, the Priestess/Pinhead: "What do you pray for? Salvation? One harmonious note without end? There is no music in that."

I thought that was a pretty cool line, even if the Cenobites are twisted ****ers.

So I spent the last couple days watching Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2: Hellbound.

I'd have to say, I think they were both enjoyable, but I did not like how anticlimactic the second one was when Kirsty (or whatever) was able to convince the Cenobites that they were people once. That felt really rushed and missed the mark, IMO.

Generally speaking, the Cenobites could have been more menacing. In both originals, they could be reasoned with and that took some of the bite out of the scare factor for them.

I watched Hellraiser 2022 last night.

I felt they kept true to the franchise which I respect but unfortunately for me that means kind of boring. Too much dumb story and not enough Cenobites ****ing shit up. The Cenobites are super cool albeit maybe a little too polished in this, but it just plodded along and under delivered imo.

Full transparency, Hellraiser is pretty low on my totem of horror. I admittedly lean much more stalk and slash than mystic horror so YMMV.

Don't bother.

Damnit, looked so good on the trailer. Thanks for saving me a couple hours.

The box
You opened it
We dilated

I thought the new Hellraiser movie was pretty boring to be honest. The first hour is just them bumbling around accidentally stabbing people with the box. You don't really even see the cenobites for the first half of the movie, and when they do show, it never really picks up. Also, why does pinhead have a lisp?

I was disappointed

Depraved horror movie causes viewers to vomit, faint in the theater

Having just watched the original, that's par for the course really. The Cenobites had very little screen time in the original.

Got out of Halloween Ends a little while ago….I have no idea what in the **** I watched.

*sigh* Jesus Christ.

I assume you mightve been let down,but not sure haha.I'm a big Halloween fan,but i kinda hope its the last movie for a while.I'm actually surprised they got JLC to do these last movies,i would imagine she won't do anymore.But of course i havent seen the new one yet.

Pure old school horror cheese!

7/10

Notice pinhead looks a lot like the COVID 19 virus?

I just watched this last night.

wow. A bit low budget and some sketchy acting in some places, but the villain is top-notch, and the blood, gore, etc is fantastic.

Watched "The taking of Deborah Logan" last night. Enjoyed it.

Apparently Art the Clown has a pretty large cult following.

I watched The Terrifier recently and it’s pretty sick.

I was looking for The Terrifier 2 and came across a couple flicks called All Hallow’s Eve (1 & 2) which feature Art the Clown.

I watched the first one and it was super low budget but I can’t say it wasn’t worth a watch if you like shitty horror movies. I will try to find some time to watch the second one.

I’ve been watching the Friday the 13th franchise. Jason got uglier and uglier.

Watched The Dark and the Wicked last night on Shudder. Talk about a depressing movie. It's about a brother and sister that come home to see their dying father off. It doesn't ever say exactly what is going on, but there's some paranormal shit involved that wants the dads body or soul.

Not a lot of jump scares, but I think the fact that you aren't sure what exactly is going on or why, adds to the hopelesness and creepiness factor. The whole dying dad is just a vortex of evil that sucks everyone involved into killing themselves. Like, literally the only things that live are the goats.

On a side note, there's a few other good flicks on Shudder right now. Summer of 84, Clovehitch Killer, and Train to Busan. Summer of 84 had a Stranger Things/Disturbia feel, Clovehitch Killer would be what you would do if you found out your dad was the BTK killer, and Train to Busan has fast zombies.

Collectively V/H/S/99 is a steaming pile of shit (and I'm somewhat of a fan of the franchise) but the 3rd segment is some great TV in a WTF am I watching kind of way. Some truly ****ed up shit.

Wouldn't really recommend the other segments but YMMV.

saw a damn creepy one the other night - The Accursed

I watched 1408, I hadn’t seen that movie in about 15 years. Very good.

Barbarian. It's on HBO Max and in theaters. It ****ing rocks. I'd avoid any trailers or anything. It's a wild ride with some crazy turns. Legit tense and scary with some dark humor mixed in.

I came here to post this exact thing.

Clever, hilarious, scary and most of all memorable.

Fantastically fresh take of a horror movie.

I’ve passed it over a few times, but seems I should watch it.

Just watched it. Wow. That Fing rocked!!

I agree, don’t watch trailer, just sit back and enjoy the ride!

Should have ended with Halloween with Michael dying in the basement. No need for the other 2 movies. :shake:

Anyone see any horror worth mentioning lately?

Just watching Mahomes' ankle potentially explode. About scared me to death.

Nope, not me.

I tried watching a Korean horror flick called The Wailing on Reddit's recommendation and that movie was ****ing garbage. I only got halfway through before my girlfriend made me turn it off because she was so bored.

If you can do found footage, I'd recommend Hell House LLC if you haven't seen them. I watched them semi-recently and was pleasantly surprised.

Anyone ever seen You’re Next? It was on again recently, I used to watch it on Netflix a lot.

I tried watching The Monster last night on HBO. Fell asleep so many times that I finally just shut it off and went to bed.

It's about a young mom who I gather is a shitty parent, and her young daughter who hates her. I'm not sure where they were going late at night, but they hit a wolf or something and their car dies. I shut it off right after that and I doubt I'll try to finish it.

I enjoyed “Taking of Deborah Logan”

"I Spit On Your Grave" was pretty ****ed up, but good.

Ok, I finally got around to watching Hellraiser III and IV.

III was decent enough. It was hilarious seeing the newly made cenobites strolling down the streets of Manhattan.

Pretty jarring seeing that amount of smoking in this day and age. There might have been a solid 5 minutes of screen time in which none of techaracters on-screen had a cigarette in their mouth.

The actress who played Terry was hot as hell also. Shame what happened to her character though.

IV was a steaming pile of shit. What was it with the 90s and sending beloved horror franchises into space? They sent Jason Vorhees, Leprechaun and now Pinhead? Just garbage.

Heh, I watched the first one the other night. It was refreshing to 80's boobs.

Really hope the new Evil Dead movie isn't shit.

Wait, what?? First I’ve heard of this!

From the trailer, it looks like they took any of the humor out of it and it's just a "The Ring" type gore and jump scare film.

The original Evil Dead trailer doesn't really have much humor in it either. Not sure it will follow the same play book but just thought I would throw it out there.

They had an Evil Dead remake back in 2013 that didn't have much, if any, humor and that one was awesome, I thought.

I am excited for this new one.

So this one ins't a remake and is also supposed to be more gore than humorous. They are running with the fact brought up in Army of Darkness that there are three Necronomicon books in existence.

This allows them to get away from the cabin and the first three movies being the center of the story.

As a kid I didn't know or catch any of the gay commentary going on in the flick. As an adult it's about as obvious as can be. There isn't really anything else being insinuated. And even though it isn't subtle it's a helluva lot better than a character preaching to the audience. I'd forgotten how goofy some of these were but they're still more fun than a most of the horror today.

Red Letter Media did a big show on the the whole series. I'd recommend it if you're a fan.

The entire movie is about coming out of the closet, Freddy was just the vehicle. Here is a review that describes it perfectly.

8.5 of 10

Balls to the wall horror eye candy, I might even rate it higher had it not been opening night in a packed theater that serves alcohol.
