I didn't know what to make of this from the trailer but when I saw it's from Mike Flanagan I'm all in. And it's only couple weeks from coming out.
So I finally – finally! – got a chance to sit down and watch a horror flick. I chose Get Out because I'd previously heard of it, and that it made your list made it the one to go for. I looked up Just Watch and found out it was only available for rent. I happened to be at the library the other day and found it there on DVD. When I got home, I realized I didn't have the disc player hooked up anymore, so I had to find that, set it up, then try to find the remote – couldn't –, then download the Logitech Harmony app on my phone just so I could get the movie to play. It was a nightmare in and of itself! Ha!@tobefirst
OK, here's a few, these are mostly from the last few years. It's a pretty wide range of subtypes by design, figured I'd toss out some films without too much explanation (I'll just include the short IMDB description), get your feedback. I will say these are all excellent (often with positive critical reviews), none are too exploitative, like I'm specifically avoiding "torture porn", though some of these are pretty gory.
And like the some of the best Sci-Fi, a few of these use horror as a lens for exploring grief, race, sexuality.
Get Out
2017, R, 1h 44mi
A young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.
The Scream trailer is for a movie called Scream that is also a sequel to Scream
The sequel-ish rebooty horror movie arrives in Januarywww.polygon.com

Anyway, about the movie: I really enjoyed it. Going in knowing basically just what you've written above, I couldn't formulate in my mind how it would end up a horror movie...and I don't think it really did. I would have classified it as more a thriller or suspense movie, personally, though watching it in the middle of the day with the sun beaming in the windows didn't really make for the best atmosphere. That didn't, however, take away from my enjoyment of it. It was creepy, spine-tingling at times. Just an all around enjoyable film, so thanks for the rec!
Eventually, someday, I'll make it to the next movie on the list.
It’s called “The Banana Splits Movie”. And really—Hanna-Barbera agreed to this??
Them's fighting words. For counter point, I give you iZombie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IZombie_(TV_series) It was good for the first three seasons.After all, zombies are just vampires that ride the short bus.
I'm kinda done with vampires and werewolves, too, and I pretty much loved the Blade and Underworld series.I had no idea we had any zombists / anti-zombites on this board ...
Oh wow.
I love Horror movies, but I live alone in my house so I'm always scaring myself lol
A few years back I watched the Exorcist with a friend. When we turned it off we noticed some odd sounds coming from another room (found out we left the TV on in that room). When we slowly went to go investigate the strange sounds my friend pushed me from behind into the room. That’s when I learned that in some specific circumstances I’ll scream like a little girl.
