Babadook is a good movie on a scary and intellectual level.

The Taking of Devorah Logan is pretty creepy

Troll Hunter isn't scary, but it's perfect /x/ material and kicks ass

Bullshit. Babadook started out ok, and ended in pure retarded psuedo-psychological claptrap, as if its somehow "ok" to want to kill your fucking kid.

It's not ok to want to kill your child, and the movie didn't endorse that either.

If you noticed, the final form of the monster was the truck light she saw right before her car was hit and her husband died. It's a monster based around the fact that she thought "I wish it had taken my son instead of my husband." She didn't want to kill him on an active level, but the Babadook itself amplified her dark thoughts.

Did you notice in that hallucination where she told her son not to go into the basement? That's where her husband's stuff is, thus her thoughts about her husband, which are very dark. That's why her husband came out of darkness and she was enveloped in it while talking to him. It represented the thoughts she didn't want her son to know and that she herself

The levels of the house represent the conscious levels of her mind. When it chases her upstairs, it then gets control of her active mind, and from there she became violent.

The movie didn't endorse that it was okay to think such dark thoughts about your child. It made it very clear that both she and her son were very messed up people.

Babadook and The Conjuring leap to mind.

Absolutely agree about Trollhunter, I'd love more f!documentaries about cryptids, there's a niche genre that asks to be exploited right there.

>>20761

Noice. The whole metaphor of the movie didn't really work for me, but I always like seeing analysis about it. Kinda sad it was marketed as horror though, lotsa people must spit on it because they thought it would be a no-brain horror funtime.

>>20768

Yeah, Conjuring is probably my favourite modern horror flick. Kinda hyped for the sequel, though I didn't care much for Annabelle.

>>20769

It Follows is pretty good, would definitely watch a second time.

Now contributing with a few I saw recently, keep in mind that none of them is exceptional, but you might find something interesting nonetheless;

Deep Below : not really good, but the concept is fun and a must watch if you don't like tight spaces, gives a "moving bottle episode" feel at times.

Last Shift : true bottle episode there, not bad per se, just not great. The ambiance is good, the crescendo is classic and I was pleasantly surprised a few times.

Unfriended : Interesting concept, not as much a scary movie as it is a teen drama, still had a good time watching it.

30 days of night : the one I liked the less as a horror movie. It's more of an action flick with vampires, but was still marketed as horror (because PR/marketing people all seem incompetent nowadays).

 No.20804

Green Inferno's on my watch list (so many films on my watch list though, so little time) cause the name came up in a discussion, but for cannibal-type movies, I couldn't help you, I don't think I know of other movies centered around that theme.


 No.20805>>20844

The Taking of Deborah Logan is a jump scare teen movie about an old woman whose onset dementia ends up to also have demonic possession.

It shows actual dementia behavior quite well, and makes the fucking lady really unnerving. The rest is the usual horror movie plot. Ending is.. eh. Not bad. Spooky for sure if you like hating creepy as FUCK old ladies.

Yeah, it did creepy perfectly, but it should have just made the film around that rather than jumpscaring the watcher.

The attic scene was good though.

That's some ripe shit, it's a shame they went the direction they did

I liked the conjuring until the basement scene. I liked the idea of rampant spirits, but it just felt like it was way overdoing it when the spirit of a regular lady who died with malice in her heart was able to throw furniture around like Tatsumaki near the end.

I felt she was disproportionately powerful, she was a regular mean old lady, not a megademon.

Are slightly older movies okay? You may have heard of these already. I recommend checking out The Fourth Kind and Kairo (English name Pulse).

The Fourth Kind is a faux-documentary, so be forewarned. Literally all the negative reviews I've seen are like "OMG IT'S A HOAX!!!" No shit it's a fucking hoax. Other than that, the less you know about the story, the better. But suffice to say it has some ominous implications.

Kairo has a really great atmosphere, the way Jap horror does it best. Really horrific and foreboding, kind of like Ringu. It's also very depressing, the way Japs do it best. I haven't actually finished watching it yet, but I'd recommend it based on what I've seen.

 No.22123

Well, she was a witch, after all. But yeah, the exorcism scene did only serve its hollywoodian purpose; the movie had to have an adrenaline-filled climax, the villain defeated, all that.

Still, the Conjuring remains one of my favourites, notably because of Patrick fucking Wilson in the cast.

Watched Creep yesterday and while it's not an out and out horror…it's more like a dark comedy with some intense bits, I would recommend it. The fact that it drops you into the movie with absolutely no premise to it is quite nice too…I liked that feeling of confusion!

Also, it got quite bad reviews but I liked The Visit as well…the old lady is creepy as all good fuck in it and the movie is just generally really strange.

Recently watched The Witch. It was one of the few horror movies I've seen lately that someone put time/effort into. No cheap scares or any of that shit. It was like an early American version of an original Grimm's fairy tale. One with an actual witch.

I just watched it last night after someone recommended it here,

It was great, I really loved it.

Would love to see more like it.

They speak in old english the entire movie, and though I can read old english pretty well, I ended up turning the english subtitles on for this movie because it was easier to follow what was being said by listening and reading it.

If you find the salem witch trials to be interesting in terms of both psychology and folklore, you're probably going to like the witch.

It felt organic and accurate to the beliefs and lifestyle of the period it is set in.

The Shining is some pretty essential kino, and has enough supernatural stuff to appeal to /x/. Also, it's better than typical horror because it delves into surreal and psychological themes. That's real horror there.


 No.30418>>30419

It's not scary in the traditional sense, and it's not a horror movie by any stretch, but Magic Magic is pretty weird and creepy if you watch it without any expectations. Plus, it stars Juno Temple, one of the sexiest actresses currently alive, and has a couple of hot scenes.
