Since op opened the topic i'm gonna ask advice for horror movies with big aquatic animals of any kind or just movies with monsters, mutated beasts or big ass animals.

Already saw all of them.

I was just hoping for some less mainstream advice and more horror oriented tbh.

Overlord from 2018 was a pretty good flick.



It tapped into a lot of things that I like as a premise for a horror flick.

Don't watch this unless you want to feel stupid and hoodwinked. It has the worst ass pull of an ending ever.

While not everyone will like the ending, it's still worth it for how brutal it is. The house scene at the beginning was great. I'd recommend most Alexandre Aja movies, they all have some great gore scenes.

Ready or Not - Recently watched this and it was pretty damn good.
The Black Phone - Fantastic atmosphere, loved it.
Session 9 - Great atmosphere, slow burn
Pandorum - It's pretty much Dead Space the movie

The closest we've gotten so far to a Wolfenstein film. Opening was fantastic, and whilst the rest wasn't quite as good, still well worth watching.

I loved it until the ending. It literally ruined the entire film for me and a great many others.

I recommend checking out Asian horror. It’s definitely more varied and does more than the usual jumpscare and scary loud noises.
Click to expand...
I've seen Pulse and a couple Asian found footage horror movies I really liked, like Noroi, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, and another really good one that for the life of me, I can't track down the name of. It was about a documentary film crew following a guy who's supposedly communicating with an alternate dimension that convinces him it's morally right to carry out a terrorist attack, only to find:
it was a demonic entity talking to him that traps him in a kind of hell for eternity after carrying it out

Got any other good ones?

Edit: I found it! It's "Occult" 2009, and the whole thing's on Youtube. Worth a watch, imo:

Pee Mak sounds interesting--I like tonal shifts like that since it can make the enjoyable aspects of both stronger by contrast.

Edit: Oh, and "Kairo" is "Pulse", apparently.

Most of the movies I was going to recommend were already posted, so here's a couple more : Grave Encounters (Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum is a rip-off of this movie) and Hell House.

I picked up the 4K blu ray of The People Under the Stairs, from 1991. Watched it tonight with the kids.

Didn't age as well as I would have liked. Still a good movie, just not very scary.

Ordered this movie today. I remember renting it on VHS in the 90’s. I don’t think I found it scary but it seemed like a creepy/semi realistic premise. Crazy siblings being foster parents and murdering/abusing them in creepy ass ways. I lived in near Detroit for 4 years and would drive by one nice house with abandoned house all around them. Instantly thought of this movie! 😄

Audition - The feeding the guy in the duffel bag scene.
Jacob's Ladder - So many split second horrific images mixed in.
Enemy - If you do not like spiders, this movie will not change your mind.

In early development now. The script is titled "Bring Her Back" but it looks like the studio is pushing for the title "Talk 2 Me"... lol.

If you enjoyed Possessor, check out Infinity Pool also by Brandon Cronenberg.

Bring Her Back sounds better. I actually saw Infinity Pool it was alright. I watched Crimes of the Future too didn't care for it.

This was ok. Some young university scientists invent a time machine one of them drunkenly tests the time machine on himself in a drunken stupor

I have a few good horror movie recs.

Firstly, you should watch The Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police. They're both awesome and crazy-ass movies(TGP DOES contain A LOT OF FUCKED UP STUFF, so......if you don't like mutations and other stuff, then this TGP might not be the best rec). Both Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police are actually streaming for free on Tubi with NO NEED to sign up.

The Ring(ESPECIALLY the Japanese original) is also good.

Any part of the Chucky franchise is good.

I would also recommend the Five Nights At Freddy's movie!

Dude your movie recommendations are always so on-point. I really need to start writing the ones I haven’t seen down. I’d love to see your streaming history. Probably.

But yeah you're welcome :p

Cobweb 2023 is excellent. It starts like a kiddy horror movie, but it gets extremely dark. It really surprised me at how fucked up it was. It has a great performance from the lead child actor and also stars Homelander.
