Kbin: What is your favourite (or least favourite) horror film?

GeekFTW@kbin.social to Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social – 0 points –

We all either love horror films, or hate horror films. What's that film that kept you up at night? The one that you re-watch all the time? The one that made you groan at 'the big reveal'?

Favourite: Evil Dead (2013). It was just insane, wonderfully gory and made you wanna squirm.

Least favourite: Sharkenstein (2016). Watching this film, I gained a new appreciation for Meet The Spartans.

Some that immediately pop into my head:

Krampus. It's mildly scary but the audio and atmosphere is phenomenal.

Trailer Park of Terror. Just sit back, drink a couple of beers, and enjoy this B-rated movie in all it's glory.

Slither. Horror comedy that's great for people who don't like a ton of scary but don't mind blood and gore.

Tucker and Dale versus evil. A comedy with a unique perspective to the horror genre. A must watch!

Favourite good horror: The Fly (Cronenberg remake), The Thing

Favourite bad horror: Manos: Hands of Fate

Least favourite horror : something called Fear.com

I got sucked into binging the V/H/S series a while ago and enjoyed all except Viral, which I turned off midway through as it was boring me to misery. 94 and the more recent 99 were the standouts for me.

How would you like to feel extremely uneasy and uncomfortable?

This is absolutely an either you love it or hate it film. I can 100% understand why people hate this movie - every single shot in this movie is out of focus and not directly showing you what is happening in the scene. It requires 100% focus to decipher (or come close to) what's going on. It made me feel like a kid in the dark, which is what this movie is about - a brother and sister stuck in their home in a forever night as some entity begins to hunt them.

Content Warning - Child Disfigurement.

If you're looking for a popcorn horror movie to watch with a loved one, skip it. If you're interested in something truly, truly experimental, give it a shot.

Sleep Paralysis: The Movie

While not really a fan of horror movies, there are plenty that I have loved, as films in the general sense and not specifically as any genre.
At the top of the list for me, it has to be the original The Wicker Man, and in second place it's Evil Dead Pt 2.

As least favorite, not one specific film but the entire slasher film realm.

Classics from my childhood:

The Exorcist
Exorcist III
The Fly
Evil Dead
Poltergeist
The Thing
Prince of Darkness
Hellraiser
Carrie
Jacob's Ladder
Pi

Modern:

Hereditary
Nope
The Night House
Annihilation
A Quiet Place

Best meta horror:

Tremors
Malignant
Cabin in the Woods
Death Becomes Her

Favorite: The Thing, the John Carpenter one from the 80s. It is perfect.

Least favorite: Nightmare on Elm Street. I like other Craven stuff but could never get into this one.

2nd The Thing, you know it’s good horror when it still holds up today.

I recently watched this for the first time and I adored it. To anybody who hasn't seen it, it not only holds-up to modern movies, the effects frankly blow most modern movies out of the water.
