What a horrible piece of shit that was. That's weird because I have the same feeling about IF, every comment that I read about this movie out of the forums is saying that it was a complete shit, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not agree with the critics at all. Edited April 24, 2016 by somebody85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebody85 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Alright other Horror fans, any recommendations? Because I'm at a loss here: Here's the one's I've seen so far and what I'd rate them: Hush - B (far and away the best of the year so far even though it's more of a thriller) Regression - C+ The Boy - C The Invitation - C- (what a freaking letdown after those reviews man. Expected another The Gift and didn't get it) The Witch - D (what an even BIGGER letdown after the reviews. Expected The Crucible but this was a lot worse. I had to turn it off about 40-50 minutes into it due to not being able to understand half of the ye old english dialogue and I watched it with headphones on with great audio) Intruders - D (what an interesting idea of agoraphobia being blown) The Forest - D- I usually won't watch anything that is not a major release above a 6.5 on IMDB with at least a 1,000 ratings (so I know the studio isn't boosting the rating and writing fake reviews). I really liked It Follows last year and would classify Ex Machina more horror then most due to how tense it was at times. Nothing this year has come close. Two of my favorites last year were The Final Girls and Starry Eyes. Others I rated above a C from 2015: The Gift Crimson Peak The Visit Creep We Are Still Here Faults (I don't know if you could consider this horror though, again it's more a thriller) The Nightmare Goodnight Mommy Clown Besides Green Room and The Conjuring 2 what else is there? I'm going to watch They Look Like People because it looks interesting but so did Decay and that got bad reviews. Seriously any recommendations from this year/2015 from any other horror buffs? Not into jump scares. I like tension. Edited April 24, 2016 by somebody85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower your expectations from that 90% score on RT. Great acting but that's really it. Coherence from 2013 was a much stronger dinner party movie that wasn't anywhere near as predictable:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2866360/ Would You Rather was more entertaining too.

That's ridiculous. You're making Babadook out to be some kind of classic horror film when it's just another psychological crapfest. It's not a real horror film at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Babadook is fantastic, it's the kind of horror film that is seldom produced these days. No stupid jump scares, no found footage, no teen angst. Horror IS and SHOULD BE psychological, it shouldn't just make you jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the slick look and faux grittiness of Platinum Dunes' films. The Invitation, on the other hand, now that had real atmosphere. The Babadook is fantastic and one of the finest horror films of the decade. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Babadook is fantastic and one of the finest horror films of the decade. IMO. The 2003 version is easily the best Platinum Dunes remake by a mile. I forgot if they did The Hills Have Eyes, but I don't think so. I loved the look of it. It seemed like a place that could actually exist off one of those exits you never take and it was well acted for once. They did really good work on the score too. Now the prequel wasn't good and then the 2009 version was terrible. The Invitation didn't have atmosphere to me at all because I could see what was coming. They tried to throw you off of the predictable route it takes but it was always there. And the moment a certain actor shows up, I knew where it was headed. It was either going to go one way which could have been clever or go the way you can easily guess as soon as they walk in the door. Instead of feeling tense during it all I kept thinking was wow that guy really looks a lot like Tom Hardy. Also if that one scene did not happen, all of the plot falls a part. It's well acted, I'll give it that. But I found it dull besides that not tense. I expected it to be a lot better after the reviews and instead nothing really happens for about 75 minutes. Then the final scene before it cuts to black is so ridiculous and far fetched that I had to roll my eyes. And I also strongly disagree about The Babadook which collapsed in the third act too.
