This week I plan on seeing Dangerous Animals, I mean I have a subscription to my cinema theater, so the worst that can happen is the movie is trash and I've lost a hour and a half. But I have a feeling this might be decent.

I ended up really liking it. Went in with no expectations, well, as much as that is possible when everyone and their mother is raving about it. But it was a movie that had me guessing wtf was going on and how all these things were related. I did not expect the "twist", if that can be considered one.

But just like Bring her Back I am not sure if I'd call this a horror. Thriller with horror elements I guess.

I think bring her back was more horror than weapons. The only horror part in weapons is that disgusting hag

2. The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Man this was a good one, it surprised me a lot. Going about 30 mins in I thought it was going to be another mediocre possession movie but it was genuinely unsettling and had some brutal scenes.

Yeah, saw it when it came out back in 2005 and have always liked it despite the generally mixed reception. I like how it's basically half horror and half courtroom drama. Jennifer Carpenter is fantastic in it and definitely the highlight.

Barbarian was my horror movie of that year
Fire movie.

Barbarian started so well. Once Justin Long arrived the film took a turn which I enjoyed and then the creature appeared and sort of ruined it for me. I didn't hate it but the hype for it really set up expectations the film didn't meet completely.

Weapons though met my expectations. Probably exceeded them actually.

Exactly the same for me. Barbarian had so much hype, and it had me interested in the first half or so, but yeah that creature, once that happened it just didn't do much for me at all.

Getting the boys round and watching a bunch of 35mm scans in my projector shed/mancave this October.

Just need to get the bar built before then.

I enjoyed it. The villian was well played.

Nothing mind-blowing but good enough.
 
finally get around to watch Weapons. I actually like it better than Barbarian. I went in blind for both and while Barbarian was interesting to me only during the first half, Weapons had my attention throughout the whole length.
 


Really looking forward to this one!
High hopes for horror from Argentina after the brilliant "When Evil Lurks".

Recent fave: Bring her back. That was awesome.
 
Night of the Reaper

Saw a post about it on a horror page on Facebook, and you know how they can overhype shit so bad that you just want to check it out. This is a Shudder movie, Shudder isn't available in The Netherlands, so I have my owns ways of watching it.

I don't see what all the hubbub about this is. Takes way too long to get going, is never ever scary or tense in any way. There's a twist, but I couldn't care much for it.
 
watched It follows.. another one that surprised me with it's creepyness.

Obviously not a masterpiece but it was a solid 7.

I watched this last night and feel asleep halfway through and I have insomnia. Yeah. I can't remember too many Shudder productions that have been top quality.

Sheesh, you said it. Exactly the same for me, dozed off a few times, haha. That is never a good sign for a (horror) movie.

The score kind of made it, at least it did for me. It gave me a boner.

I believe it was composed by Disasterpiece (e.g. Hyper Light Drifter). That's a cool tidbit.

That bad? I quite enjoyed the Dahmer season and the one about the two brothers was good too. But this director, known for American Horror Story has made plenty misses with that show too. We'll see.

Not gagging because of the quality of the trailer, opposite, I think it looks fascinating, but this is about probably the worst, most creepy killer in modern history. Wearing the skin of peoples is what makes me gag. I'll have to muster courage to watch this shit.

Ah yes, the movie about a girl who friendzones a dude so fucking hard she'd rather die than sleep with him.

Is this suitable to watch for puppies? Thinking about watching it at the theater with Sir Snuggles the 3rd.

Hahaha, nice.

I wonder if my theater will have it, I read that Netflix will have it in October as well. I'm sure my Staffy girl will be just fine watching it. 😛

I thought it was alright-ish.

Its well made and acted, but they stretch basically *nothing* out to over 2hrs of non-linear, run time!

There's no "wow" to the reveal (even if Amy Madigan is great fun) and its just not scary or particularly suspenseful.
