/x/ - Paranormal★

>Nice movie review anon

But while you're thread is empty how about you tell me which movie this gif was ripped from

>>28929 (OP)

I agree, The Witch was one of the better movies last year. You could tell they really tried hard to get good child actors, which is really rare. The movie could have been ruined if the kids were the typical shit that most movies/TV Shows get.

I think the last horror movie I saw was the new Blair Witch. It's about the brother of the girl from the first one going into the woods when what looks like her footage appears on YouTube. He goes with his girlfriend, their two token black friends, and two redneck stereotypes to try and find her. The movie is fairly typical for modern horror movies with a simple plot and found footage shaky-cam. I found it pretty boring, not much happens, and the ending is very unsatisfying and predictable. There weren't any risks taken in the making of this movie, and it really shows. It won't offend anybody, but it won't entertain them either.

If you want good, recent, horror movies try The Witch and It Follows. Also, Arrival, while not horror, is another good movie I think /x/ would enjoy.

Just watched it since was in the mood for a movie. It was pretty cool, but the only thing off was how casual they all seemed about everything. I know people back then were more used to death and stuff, but still, they were void of emotions too much.

Movie title reminded me to watch Season of the Witch. I heard that was good so I'll soon see.

>>29064

You can tell just by the trailer that Blair Witch is 100% trash. I'll give It Follows a chance, though the concept doesn't intrigue me in the least.

/tv/ said that Arrival is bad

>>28929 (OP)

Got on netflix after reading this post last night and watched The Witch.

It really was fantastic. Refreshing.

After I finished watching it I was searching all over for something similar because I didn't want the movie to end basically, and now I just want more of the same.

If anyone knows of something similar, please share it.

Even any wiki articles about protestant and puritan witchery and beliefs would be good.

I'm not having any luck. Just finding articles discussing the different kinds of witches and shit, but I'm more interested in the beliefs and folklore of the folk of the 1600's.

Ok here are some good ones:

Under the Shadow

The Wailing

Shelley

Southbound

Always Shine

They Look Like People

The Monster

The Invitation

These are the only good ones I could find from 2016, apart from Witch, which was already mentioned

>>28929 (OP)

Just watched "As Above So Below" on Netflix.

I expected it to be a shitty B movie ripping off Descent. Was pleasantly surprised.

Rise of the Tomb Raider completely ripped this movie off. [The following are not spoilers, they only touch on the backstory that comes up in the first 20 minutes of the movie and the game both.]

>Young britbong girl that speaks like 6 languages, 2 of them dead languages

>Also martial arts

>Her father was an archeologist or some shit that killed himself after losing it from years of obsessive searching for….

>You guessed it… a mythical key to immortality.

>Daughter becomes, you guessed it… a tomb raider.

>Girl is fearless and determined and bull-in-a-china-shop in her pursuit of whatever she might be after

>Blindly drags close friends and strangers alike into dangerous situations in order to get what she wants

The actress in As Above So Below, Perdita Weeks, is so similar in appearance, voice, and accent to Lara in Rise of the Tomb Raider, I was convinced for the entire movie that she WAS the same actress used in the game. I googled after and couldn't believe she wasn't.

Anyways, if you liked the version of Lara in Tomb Raider games that came out between 2000-2010 you'll probably like this movie (The girl in the movie looks and sounds just like the most recent TR game but is written more like the older versions of Lara).

>>29317

The trailer looks like typical found footage trash…

>>29316

I've just finished watching The Monster. The main characters are a young girl and her alcoholic, chain smoking mother. Much of the movie focuses on their difficult relationship, which is both a strength and a weakness. A strength, because they're both good actresses (especially the girl) and the relationship is believable. Sometimes with horror movies, the characters are so poorly developed you don't really know who they are, but that's not the case here. A weakness, because it feels like the director just wanted to make a movie about a mother-daughter relationship and only added the monster as a subplot.

The monster itself is kind of cool. There's no CGI here, it's all made with old-school practical effects, and it works pretty well.

The main flaw of this movie in my opinion is that it's a little bit slow. I don't mind slow movies if they have interesting dialogues, but there are no memorable quotes here. It probably could have been a little faster.

Overall, I give it 6/10. Nothing special, but fans of monster movies will appreciate it.

>>29329

> typical found footage trash

has there been one good found footage movie ever? HARDMODE: since 2000? V/H//S made me angry with today's young people and their idiocy.

blair witch project spawned a thousand shitty ripoffs that didn't succeed at all, why won't they die now?

>>29348

Trollhunter (2010) was good, but it's the only example I can think of. If you like monster movies, this is a must watch.

>A group of students investigates a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.

You could also try searching for books and videos about the Salem witch trials.

>>29349

You're right but I already saw that one… also worth noting that it's nothing like all these other Creepypasta: The Motion Picture things.

>>29345

Yeah it was pretty meh. Under the Shadow is really good and so is The Wailing, but The Wailing is good in a different kind of way, try to avoid watching the trailers to those two, their ratings are 96% and 99% respectively on rotten tomatoes last time I checked.

wasn't there a clip of a girl brushing her hair out in front of the mirror, and then her reflection turned into a demon of some sort?

Just saw it this morning. Almost made me jump.

What movie is that from?

>>29329

I didn't mind it, but if you can't stand GoPro type camera work, then don't bother with it. The entire movie is done that way.

>>29359

Thanks

Okay, so today I've rewatched Dark Water.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382628/

Pros: It's a slow, dark, rainy, comfy movie. Jennifer Connelly is a fantastic actress, and also she's absolutely beautiful and her character's interactions with her daughter are very cute. The acting in general is good, the characters are interesting, the music is appropriate, and it's a visually appealing movie. There's a strong psychological component that gives it a depth that most horror movies don't have.

Cons: For a horror movie, it's not very scary. To be fair, it doesn't try very hard to scare you like most horror movies tend to do. Not much happens. But I just don't find ghost movies scary, so maybe it's just me.

Overall, it's a solid movie, although it probably won't become your favourite. I would rate it 8/10.

>>29089

>You can tell just by the trailer that Blair Witch is 100% trash

It is

Russian Film | Release: TBA

After a mysterious and terrible accident, a young talented architect finds himself in a very strange world, only partially resembling reality. The world that is based on the memory of reality of people who are in a deep coma. Human memory is fragmented, chaotic and changeable. The same is the space of COMA - a queer set of memories where rivers, glaciers and cities can fit in one room, where any laws of physics can be broken. The main character has to figure out the laws of this space, fight for life, find love, finally find an exit to the real world and realize it in a new way understanding what COMA actually is.

>>30759

Now that looks like a good film. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I saw a few movies recommended on /tv/ yesterday, so I downloaded the ones that seemed most interesting and watched them.

#1: 'Hidden'. A family has been hiding in a bunker for a year, because the surface world is haunted by the 'breathers', mysterious creatures that hate humans and kill them mercilessly. Sounds good? Well, too bad, because this is one of the most boring movies I've ever watched. Almost nothing happens for entire duration of the movie, I couldn't care less about watching a family trying to survive in a bunker, and the ending could have been written by M. Night Shyamalan. So it was a disappointment. I only recommend it if you like movies about bunkers.

#2: 'The House of the Devil'. It's set in the 80s, and the music/style tries to emulate movies of that era. A girl who needs money fast accepts a job as a babysitter. But when she arrives at the house, the owner tells her that actually she'll have to watch his old mother while he's away… except she doesn't, and she gets $400 just for spending a few hours alone in the house. The guy is creepy but she accepts anyway. Oh and there's going to be a total lunar eclipse that night, but don't worry about that. So you can see where this is going (the movie tells you right at the beginning that it's about satanic cults murdering random people). The problem is that this movie is even more boring than the first. It's so fucking slow and the dialogue is not interesting at all. There's very little action, and even that is boring and predictable. I only recommend this movie if you like watching girls do nothing for 90 minutes or if you're a fan of this type of movies.

#3: 'The Innkeepers'. A guy and a girl work in a old hotel that's about to be closed down. A woman killed herself in the basement of the hotel a century ago and the owners tried to hide it because it would be bad publicity. The guy and the girl are interested in paranormal phenomena and ghost hunting. The girl is really cute, the guy is a nerd (eww, gross!) but somehow they're friends. The hotel surprisingly gets a few guests, some strange things happen, the girl gets scared a lot. And this is one of the problems with this movie. I love watching cute girls getting scared, but not in a horror movie. It ruins the mood. Cute and creepy don't mix very well. The scary parts are not scary at all, but the main characters are kinda interesting, which makes the movie enjoyable. The ending caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting that. Overall this is the best of the 3 and the only movie I can recommend to anyone.

>>30989

I thought house of the devil was great, incredibly atmospheric and nailed the all-around mood that something was off. Definitely a slow-burner though, but worth a watch anons

>>29064

the only good thing about it follows was the first opening scene. the rest of the movie completely fell flat.

>>29089

arrival was okay. not any better than okay. just okay.

>>29345

NIGGA, why are you copypasting movie reviews from other websites onto /x/? do you think we are retarded?

>>31156

When did 'atmospheric' become an excuse for being boring?

>>31161

Actually I wrote that review myself… so yes, I think you're retarded.

I've watched Kong: Skull Island today. Technically not a horror movie, but still, it's a monster movie. Unfortunately, this movie sucks. Kong himself is cool, but the other monsters are not interesting at all. None of the monsters are scary, or make you feel small (like the kaijus from Pacific Rim).

There are too many human characters, it's like they decided to waste time by giving every actor a small part instead of having a few strong, well-developed characters. As a result, the characters feel shallow and you feel nothing for them. This means that scenes that are supposed to be emotional, are actually quite boring. There are too many 'emotional' scenes for an action movie.

The music lacks a strong theme. The plot is extremely simple. The dialogue is nothing special. I regret wasting 2 hours of my life watching this piece of crap.

all the horror movies on netflix suck ass.

I know most of yall have seen the new trailer for the IT remake. Thoughts?

I for one am fucking excited for it, the change in Pennywise' look is not as scary as the original but pretty creepy nonetheless. I got a Stranger Things feel from the trailer and I love it, can't wait for this.

>>31440

Trailers can be deceiving. It definitely has potential, but there's also the risk that they turned Pennywise into just another generic scary clown. The original was creepy as hell, this one looks like it's aiming for OMG SUPER SCARY DID YOU SEE THAT, with jumpscares and all that. If I had to guess, I'd say it will be a success, but it won't make a lasting impression like the original did. Twenty years from now, there won't be adults talking about how this movie traumatised them as a kid.

Yesterday I finally found a streaming of Evolution on https://gomovies.to/ so I watched it.

It's a French film (with English subtitles) from 2016. The story is about a group of boys who live on an island with their 'mothers'. Supposedly the boys are sick and they need constant medical attention. One of the boys, Nicolas, doesn't believe what his 'mother' tells him and starts to investigate.

I won't spoil the rest, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't, because this is one those films that leaves many questions unanswered. So if you like films where everything is explained at the end, this isn't for you. There's very little dialogue, just the bare minimum. It's not a film for dumb people.

Although it's not based on Lovecraft, and it's not a story about cosmic horror, the atmosphere is very lovecraftian, so I would recommed it to anyone who likes that sort of thing. It's also a visually beautiful and comfy film and the acting is good. I would give it a 8/10.

This will probably end up being one of the best horror movies of the year. The alien is different from anything we have seen so far, and IMHO it's scarier (although less iconic) than the xenomorphs, because it's pretty much unstoppable, it's smarter and feels more 'alien' due to its shape-shifting capabilities.

Th Void (2016) was ok. If you like some lovecraftian references. Not everyones taste thoug.

>>28929 (OP)

Dat ass at the end too

>>32336

Respect to the Goose

>>32336

What's so awesome about it? From the trailer, it looks like trash.

Saw the new It in the theater. I thought it was pretty well done; the kids could all act, Pennywise was genuinely creepy and disturbing (but I think Tim Curry made him feel more actively malevolent; the new Pennywise just feels like a predator hunting for food, not something that actively enjoys tormenting children before eating them).

Probably the most disturbing part of the movie was the dozen niggers sitting behind us who reeked of weed. They were shrieking and cussing throughout the entire movie. Then right in the middle I heard one holler, "hey nigga, don't pee in here!" I turned around and saw one nigger, stoned out of his mind, pissing all over another nigger in the row in front of him.

Fucking niggers; they ruin EVERYTHING.

Last night I watched Thale, a horror movie made in Norway. I had high expectations because the movie is Norwegian and is based on nordic mythology, just like Troll Hunter, which in my humble opinion is one of the best horror movies of the last 20 years.

Unfortunately it was a disappointment. Everything from the acting to the writing to the photography felt like the work of a beginner, very generic and uninspired. There was no suspence whatsoever. The whole movie takes place in one location, and it's not even a beautiful place. The only part that left a good impression on me were the special effects, which were surprisingly well done, especially when you consider that this is a low budget movie.

This could have been a nice little movie in the hands of a better director/writer/producer. The story had potential, and it could have been developed in a number of different ways, but for lack of talent and resources, it wasn't. It's like instead of the finished movie, we were shown a prototype. Don't waste your time on this.

The trailer for 'Cold Skin' looks promising, let's hope it gets an English release.

>On the edge of the Antarctic Circle, a ship approaches a desolate island far from all shipping lanes. On board is a young man, on his way to assume the post of weather observer, to live in solitude at the end of the earth. But on shore he finds no trace of the man whom he has been sent to replace, just a deranged castaway who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. Then the night falls, and the young man will soon realize that with each night comes an army of humanoid killer amphibians…

Not really a horror film, more like a supernatural-romance-drama, but the monster looks well done and the visuals are interesting.

The last horror movie I watched was The Babadook. That one spooked me pretty good. It's about a young boy that has a book with a monster in it (kinda like that Grover "The Monster at the End of this Book" thing but actually with a scary monster in it) and then it makes the kid go a bit mental and the mum goes a bit mental and it's pretty good at building the suspense without wasting it all on jump-scares and violin shrieks.

>>29317

I like those schlocky adventure movies, even if I don't enjoy the newer Tomb Raiders. The original B-movie adventure vibes of the PS1 games will always be the best.

>>30989

>Cute and creepy don't mix very well.

This is true, but what's also true is that horror and sex go together very well. Not entirely sure why. I wouldn't be surprised if there's crossover between the horror/sex centres of the brain.

>>31849

Sounds good, thanks for providing a link.

>>35361

The Babadook was good, although I didn't understand the ending.

>Sounds good, thanks for providing a link.

No problem. The old link is dead for me (probably blocked by my country) but this new one works. https://gostream.is/

THE VVITCH IS CREEPY !

>>36577

Yeah, but I wish they didn't include the incest stuff and the nudity, I can't get scared when I'm horny.

>>28929 (OP)

It's a bit of a meme answer on other image boards but I was a fan of lake mungo. I think the sadness and spookiness of it potentiate each other. Good if you like slow horror without needing violent force to scare. Be warned however it's pretty love or hate

Hellraiser. Wasn't bad and not too long either. I'll admit the gore may be a bit much for some, but I've seen worse so no worries there. Would recommend if you're into watching weird creepy shit from the 80's.

I hear Veronica on Netflix is a good horror movie. Haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Any anons out there can confirm it's good?

>>37749

You'd love Videodrome then.

>>37768

+1 for Videodrome

Are there any good movies similar to Signs and Close Encounters of the Third Kind? I feel like watching something more on the mysterious side. Early X-Files was great but I wasn't a fan on their take of grays with the whole popping into toxic green goo. I can't think of anything close to these. Thinking about watching Cargo, Dark Skies, Hunter Prey, Fire in the Sky, or The Omega Code. I didn't care for Signs when I first watched it but I should rewatch it since I haven't seen it since it released.

I typed out a wrong movie in >>37826

Not The Omega Code, but whatever that movie was with the box that was sent from the future which contains an unstoppable evolving pathogen.

>>37826

Dark Skies was decent. You won't love it but you won't hate it. I highly recommend Communion (with Christopher Walken) if you haven't seen it already. IMHO it's the best movie of its kind. Creepy as fuck, well written, great acting and very much 'on the mysterious side'.

>>37826

alien invasion / abduction:

Fire in the Sky is fantastic

Communion

The Arrival (1996)

The Hidden (1987)

General horror movies /x/ might like:

Society

Jacob's Ladder

Dagon

The Ninth Gate (not scary)

Anything by Cronenberg besides cosmopolis

Prince of Darkness

From Beyond

Possession (1981) (depressing)

>>29064

it follows was so scary in the beginning, but after that it was very boring.

>>29089

arrival was with the ships that show up, correct? light spoilers: the acting was okay, but the ideas were interstellar tier stupid, in how they want the audience to assume things worked out somehow. the story about the aliens was cute and sad, and overall the movie left me feeling unsatisfied and bored, and with a headache.

spoilers, but not really, because nothing important happens. warning anyway.

>witch

>spooky witch does some dumb spooky things and does terrible things to a family like kidnap their children and all sorts of crap

>everybody dies

>except for the daughter

>she goes to scream weird noises by a fire and floats away

the whole movie had the worst sound design I have ever heard.

>LOUUUUD sound effects

>very low sound volume for voices

>turn volume down to avoid physical pain from loud sound effects

>can't hear anyone

>turn up volume to hear what they say

>SHALALALALAALALALALLALALALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! witch music makes my ears bleed

the whole movie depended on scary chanting music, and there was nothing that scary in the whole movie. it was gross and sad but not scary. the people were great actors though, but the movie was shit.

>they look like people

>literally NOTHING

>some dude goes to his friends house

>some chick fell down the stairs and they accompany her to the hospital

>the dude keeps acting weird

>movie dragggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggs on and ON for fucking ever

>friend staying at the other friends apartment gets a weird phone call

>NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS

I admit I turned this movie off. it was that stupid. could not keep watching it.

>the monster

>cute and sad story about a shitty drunken abusive mother and her daughter

>they love each other at the end

>but mom dies

>little girl spray can flame throwers the monster

>somehow this kills the monster

meh. it was 10/10 in it's ability to keep someone from getting too bored. 2/10 movie

9/10 special effects. 9/10 acting.

I don't know, I didn't give a shit about this movie.

>>37828

yea dark skies was creepy as fuck. the aliens are so manipulative but DAMN the family is gullible and stupid.

I liked signs much better.

>>36577

the witch was EXTREMELY boring and stupid. the babadook was scary. too scary.

>>36585

there was none of that in the movie. a brother looks at his pretty sister and gets embarrassed because he thought she was cute, and she walks in the forest and the camera is too far away to notice anything.

>>37863

He was looking at her cleavage, that's lust.

>>37883

>implying some little brother is capable of understanding feelings like that

the little brother in the witch was what, 8? best guess anyways. you're perverted if you think it was anything other than a curious and afterwards embarrassed glance. anyway the movie was WAY weird, and failed to be spooky. but whatever.

>>37902

for real? the lust was a part of the story, even the mother spoke about it

>>37916

I don't remember that part. this doesn't make sense.

>>39243

this looks like a commercial you would see in the 80s or 90s, like that Alien one for Bugles

The VVitch is a good, modern, horror film.

Ended up watching 'A Quiet Place' recently. A family has to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity and most life on earth has been wiped out by a race of monsters/aliens that hunt and kill everything they hear - and they have an incredibly sensitive sense of hearing. The few people left alive have to try their hardest to be very silent, and can only communicate through sign language.

So, did I like it? Yes. The creatures' design is not too original, but they're deadly and they look terrifying and that's what matters most. The special effects are pretty good. There are quite a few 'oh shit' moments, and enough horror to make most /x/philes happy. As a bonus, the movie is also free of leftist propaganda. The family is white and old-fashioned; the father is smart, brave, kind and competent; the wife is also brave, loving and supportive; the kids love their parents and support each other.

By modern standards, this is about as good as a horror movie can be. Recommended.

I watched A Dark Song weeks ago. It's an Irish movie that takes place in modern times, about a magic ritual that's loosely based off of real grimoire. It's not horror but suspense. I enjoyed it, both directing and plot. I thought it was unique in style, the plot builds up through the movie, kind of like Rocky if I had to compare it to something.

>>31849

Mein Übermensch

I find it interesting that movies that portray Christians always portray them as nicey nice people who are powerless, weak and vulnerable.

The Christians I hang with, all the witches are afraid of them and avoid them, or come to them for salvation through Jesus Christ.

But, what can you expect from an industry run by people who sodomize infants?

True Christianity fears nothing, and is vulnerable to very little, ESPECIALLY a witch, and is, by far, the most powerful way to live.

But, the movie industry, run by Satan as it is, will, very very rarely, ever potraty the true power that we have. Why do you think Trump won this election? Because the pagans and heathens sacrificed enough children to ensure his victory?

Because the same bunch of atheist losers that run the show just randomly changed their minds?

We, the Christians, have been praying to the only living God, in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, the only means by which any man can see God, and the efforts paid off.

Most churches are led by people who are very well paid to mislead the flock, ensure the flow of children proceeds into the mouth of molech, and to keep the church powerless.

But, to assume that true Christianity is reflected by the Pope, or the average fornication plaza that is the neighborhood church is erroneous. These people are lukewarm or cold, they are not living according to the Bible. One way to tell is to ask if they show any evidence of "All who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."

No persecution? No resistance? Not living godly in Christ Jesus.

The average movie is as accurate in depicting Christianity as the average newscast is in depicting the criminal demographic.

I just found this thread and watched the witch, thank you for the recommendation anons! The acting, setting and story were excellent, Im going to watch the house of the dead now and see how it goes, I love slow burners.

>>37859

I think horror movies beyond paranormal activity and such are not for you.

>>45224

>But, to assume that true Christianity is reflected by the Pope

Christianity without the Vicar of Christ is not the real Church.

I love the witch I got a poster of it in my room. Last horror movie I watched though was Hereditary. It was my 3rd watch but I still get creeped the fuck out by it. I remember going to the theater with my friends to see it when it was released and it was really the first movie to make my jaw drop and just put me in a state of awe. Me and 3 of my bros all go in the theater ready for a good movie and scare after we watched all the trailers and read a few articles on it, but it was nothing like we expected. I remember before we went we planned on getting drunk and just playing vidya until we passed out but after it was over we all just turned to each other and we’re like “alright well I’m just gonna go home.” It truly was one of the most fucked up things I’ve watched on screen.

Small plot synopses: a family experiences the death of their grandmother who was pretty strange in life, setting off a downward spiral leaving many family members dead in order to bring a powerful demon to the mortal world.

No spoilers but the one scene where the one person dies after the party really fucked me up. I’m personally really looking forward to the remake of nosferatu and the movie “the lighthouse”, it’s gonna be shot in black and white 35mm and stars thomasin from the witch.

>>35035

that movie was trash.

>>30759

apparently this movie is postponed until june 15 2019

Am I the only one who's looking forward to watching Godzilla King of Monsters? I hope they can recapture some of that feeling I got from watching the first Pacific Rim. The sheer terror of being attacked by a giant monster that completely dwarfs you and overpowers you. I hope they didn't make it too kid-friendly and the fights will be brutal.

>>48689

I only saw one of them, I believe Godzilla 2000. Am I missing out?

>>48689

>Am I the only one who's looking forward to watching Godzilla King of Monsters?

Yes. Watch Cozzilla instead.

>>48717

The 1998 movie was pretty good, for what it was - a story about a giant mutated lizard having the time of its life in New York. It just wasn't Godzilla.

The 2014 movie was terrible. Godzilla barely had any screen time, and the story focused too much on the human side of the plot. The other monsters were underwhelming. The fights were disappointing.

Shin Godzilla (2016) was a breath of fresh air. It actually made Godzilla seem scary.

>>48720

Wow.

>>48723

1998 was the one I saw. 2020 has a sequel to the 2019 movie with a different directors. That's pretty strange, never seen an immediate sequel made by a different team.

>>48724

Maybe it's because Godzilla and Kong are two different franchises, or maybe they started working on it after the 2014 Godzilla movie and before the 2019 one?

Recently watched The Endless. It's not scary at all, but I still found it decent. It's really an exploration on what would happen if ordinary people became trapped in an endless time loop for the amusement of an unfathomable entity. The movie is plenty surreal but it's really about the characters. It also knows the entity shouldn't be shown or explained.

My favorite Godzilla has to be Final Wars, it's such a balls to the wall explosion of fun and fanservice. It's not even remotely horror though, Shin Godzilla is the best in this category as you said.

I had to watch it after someone called it 'horrifying' but despite being only 15 minutes long, I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. It begins with a man looking at the moon and using a razor to slice a woman's eyeball - as a thin cloud passes in front of the moon: genius! Then it cuts to a different scene with some faggot riding his bike around the town, falling off and dying. He gets rescued by a woman who takes him to her apartment. For some reason he tries to rape her and destroys the apartment in the process. All the while, a music fit for a carnival plays in the background. This doesn't even qualify as horror, let alone as horrifying.

This is actually a pretty decent film in my opinion, I was pleasantly surprised. Except, it's not a horror movie at all - it's a drama, extremely sad and at times hard to watch. The main character is a boy who lives with his parents in a house in the middle of nowhere. His mother verbally and physically abuses him, and his father is a gasoline-drinking homosexual. The boy has a couple of friends and they spend their time capturing frogs, and blowing them up after having inflated them like baloons. The boy becomes convinced that one of their female neighbors is a vampire, because he hears about vampires from his idiot father and the woman does and says some strange things.

I won't spoil anything, but there's never any scary moment or anything that would suggest the director was trying to make a horror movie. Like I said, it's just a very tragic and serious story. Quite beautiful from an aesthetic point of view and it reminded me of my own childhood. I watched it on Youtube.

I'll try some of their other recommendations in the next few days, but judging from what I've seen so far, I don't think /film/ even likes horror movies per se, they just like 'horror' movies that in their opinion are well made from a technical perspective, or obscure and original enough to appeal to their hipster instincts.

Your writing is retarded, and so are you.
