Mockingjay Raphael Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Every year since 2014, there’s at least one Indie Horror movie that comes to mainstream after dominating festivals. We had: 2014: Babadook 2015: It Follows 2016: The Witch But there’s nothing so far this year, any news on this @The Stingray ?

Krissykins Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Still to watch The Babysitter, but Stranger Things is dominating just now. Went to Jigsaw on Friday and going to see Scream at a drive in tomorrow night- can’t wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Endless sounds like an indie darling to me. 100% from 16 reviews on RT so far. Really looking forward to that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are looking American release film then probably nothing. The closest to indie darling is Get Out. But Get Out and all Blumouse releases have the backing of Universal so I don't think it counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw was fucking awful, I still have no idea how this got such praise from critics, one of my worst experiences this year. People complained about ICAN, but it at least has plot that goes above of shocking images.

Mockingjay Raphael Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 With Jigsaw underperforming/flopping, and with Polaroid being DOA, the year for the genre has officially ended (with a bang) with Happy Death Day two weeks ago. I’m waiting for the end of year to post the total gross of the year, but it has easily set a new record for the genre, it broke several records, see the breakdown: Biggest OW for a Horror movie in January: Split at $40M. Biggest total for a Horror movie in January: Split at $138.1M. Biggest total for a Horror movie in February: Get Out at $175.4M. Best multiple for a Horror movie (excluding pre 2000 releases for obvious reasons): Get Out with 5.2x. Best multiple for a Horror sequel: Annabelle: Creation with 2.9x. First franchise ever to have three movies crossing $100M DOM and $300M WW: The Conjuring Universe. Best OW ever for a Horror movie in September and overall: IT at $123.4M. Best OW for a Rated R Horror movie: IT at $123.4M. Biggest total both DOM and WW for a Horror movie: IT at $330m+ & $700m+. First Horror movie to cross $300m DOM and $700m WW: IT. Highest amount of $100m grossers in a single year: Split, Get Out, Annabelle: Creation & IT. The genre won four months: January (Split), February (Get Out), August (Annabelle: Creation), September (IT). Bonus: Highest total for a teen Horror movie with time travel featuring a blonde girl as lead: Happy Death Day. @Boxofficerules @Krissykins @Hiccup23 @The Stingray @Maxmoser3 @CJohn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Nice list! Although Cloverfield beat Splits opening and Jigsaw didn’t really flop. I love that horror won 4 full months!! Another could be that we had 8 horror movies open at #1 this year! Edited October 30, 2017 by Krissykins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxmatrixdt Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Jeepers Creepers 3, Cult of Chucky, Leatherface, Amityville...... ahh!! I liked Raw. I thought it was pretty ambitious. The Bad Batch was cool too, but its scope was more involved with the world building. I thought Personal Shopper was the best among the psychological and supernatural horrors. Other films I thought had various strengths are It Comes At Night and A Cure for Wellness. I have not got around to A Ghost Story yet. All the modern mainstream horror was great IMO. I would rank them: Get Out Split It Annabelle Belko Experiment 47 Meters Phoenix Forgotten Rings Bye Bye Man Friend Request Wish Upon and Action Horror: Alien: Covenant Life It Resident Evil 6 Underworld 4 The Great Wall Kong: Skull Island The Dark Tower The Mummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I excluded Cloverfield because I consider it more as a Sci-Fi than a true Horror movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you care elaborating the reasons why do you enjoyed this movie? I’m genuinely curious to see what others persons saw in this movie that I didn’t.

I remember that we all thought that 2017 would be a let down compared to 2016, and look at how things turned into. Horror is the most unpredictable genre out there, a masterpiece can be being produced right now under the radars. I mean, movies like La La Land/Arrival always had some strong buzz behind them towards it’s quality, a movie like Get Out, on other hand, just suddenly show up and grabbed all the attention. Who knows what surprises we can have in 2018? Edited October 30, 2017 by Mockingjay Raphael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
