So, if we're planning on doing the 31 Nights thing, is this the thread for it? Or are we making a new one?

I feel ends makes kills retroactively stupid.
in the first one and kills he was clearly surviving shit that would have killed normal people. Trying to step that back in ends was stupid to me. I feel like he should have been supernatural or at least super powerful and the town should have all worked together to stop him. That would have been a lot cooler to me.

Just watched Talk to Me based on the shouts from this thread. Instant classic for me.

I don't think this forum is active enough to warrant two horror movie threads, I'd be fine with sticking to this one. I've done 31/31 the past 6 or 7 years I'm looking forward to starting it tomorrow. I wish games were as easy to track though, because I'd love to be able to have a convenient way to count horror games in that 31/31 somehow.

following up on your recomendation--The Wailing. holy shit brother I had no idea what I was getting myself into... that ending blew my fucking mind. After reading about it online I'm just floored. Loved the subtle humor throughout the movie, akin to memories of murder which is one of my all time fav movies. Just realized it's same director of the Watcher which I thought was excellent too. Korean cinema is really top notchMy wife and I were walking the dog tonight and any noise she heard had her terrified a Japanese man was about to emerge
not a single jump scare in the movie too, impressive
need more recs pls

I purchased this movie for 4 dollars on Amazon Prime thanks to the three recommendations in this thread.

So, watched it last night aaaaand...it was OK/nice, definitely not a waste of time.
Acting was solid and atmosphere was OK - nothing mind boggling but OK.
Story/plot-wise was also OK, nothing original but...
Not one of the best horror movies out there but, for what it was and tried to do it was decent.
Solid 6.5-7/10

not sure what I have planned for this October but I watched The Wicker Man for the first time about a week back. The heavy handed Christianity espousing is a bit daggy, but it does the something-to-hide-village thing so well. But...

For me, found footage movies hit that sweet spot of "tension without exploitation."

I've generally enjoyed those, too. The shaky cam style can be disorienting but overall they're satisfying.

Evil Dead Rises just hit Netflix here, I've been looking forward to watching this. So I'll start off with Evil Dead (2013) then watch the Evil Dead Rises. Then I plan to watch a couple horror series rather than films, The Haunting of Hill House and Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities have been on my list for a while. I think I started an episode of Cabinet of Curiosities, but never got around to finishing it.

Dunno watch Martyrs or In my Skin maybe?
So this is the 31 Days of Horror OT then? Feels a bit off tbh.

I was camping this weekend but watched a bit of 'Nightwish' cause I had it downloaded from YouTube. What a stupid movie but so dumb that it was interesting/entertaining.
Took the WiiU and my camera gear as well.

I'd watch The Wailing. I've mentioned it like 2 times already but it would also fit the bill for what you're looking for.
Superdeep is another cool movie but compeltely different from The Wailing. Superdeep is kind of like The Thing in that it's just mounting dread in an isolated lab. Got roasted by reviewers but never understood why, it's filmed great, has a good OST and is just a solid film overall. It was exclusive to Shudder but that was like 2 years ago, it's probably on other services now.

Rewatched The Shining tonight, starting the month off right. Just a beautiful film.

I watched The Thing tonight, with three other people. Everyone seemed to like it. I enjoyed it. I wish it kind of hit me a little harder but it was fun enough. The monster was great. Stole every scene, lol.
The only thing that bothered me about it was the fact that the group didn't have a POWOW as soon as they learned what they were up against. Felt like that bunch should have been intelligent enough to devise a strategy ASAP. Still, great way to kick off October.
Thanks for the rec clarky, fart town usa, and Grildon Tundy

They get progressively worse and the last movie is simply awful, it's like spitting on all of the Halloween legacy.

It's crazy how many people don't care for it. I think it's phenomenal. Highly recommend the book. It's similar, but there are a ton of differences.
I love it but don't really feel it's a horror film. At least not that scary to me.

I watched this based on your rec. Found footage + Korean-made + possession = I'm interested.
Definitely some memorable and effective scenes, it's beautifully made, and Ming is a cutie. But once the ritual at the end goes haywire and it becomes clear that no one's getting out unscathed, I sort of dropped out.
Really wish that Nim (the aunt) was alive for the ritual and/or that there was some sense of hope that things could turn out alright (even if it's squashed in the end). Just watching things play out horribly and inevitably didn't hold my attention. And Nim was the character I was most intrigued by, so once she was out of the picture I sort of lost interest.

Looks good, but it was a Thai-Korean collab. I'll have to watch it.

I'm watching a horror movie called
fart town usa
. It's a movie about a psychiatric patient who broke out of his cell and breaks into people's houses and farts on them. He sometimes sharts in their face. He has a mutagen in his body that causes people to turn into purple hair wokers.
