I can’t find any modern horror I like
 

I grew up a horror fan. Loved the Friday the 13ths, Texas chainsaw massacre, the exorcist, etc. I even liked a lot of 90s horror like scream and the Blair witch, but I can’t think of one movie I’ve loved since 2010. I know they’re out there but I got really turned off when cgi came about and kind of stopped watching.

There are two horror movies I’ve seen in the last ten years or so that I remember liking but I can’t even remember the names. I just watched the invitation and it was decent. I loved the 28 days later movies and house of 1000 corpses but that’s around the time I slowed down horror binging.

I guess I want something with an older feel. Maybe a campy slasher. Anything I need to know about? I’ve looked around the forum but none of these movies are jumping out at me.

Have you seen Bone Tomahawk?
Triangle?
The Signal (2007...a bit earlier) or Severance (2006)
Older feel...Terrifier/AHE?
ATM?

Watch It Follows.

I will look into all of these. I have the signal in my queue already.

This actually sounds good. Might give it a shot tonight

How about, per Deadbeat's sig, going to see Joker October 2020.

Found (2012) and Almost Human (2013) were both great mixes of 80s style and modern horror.

^^^thanks will look into

Wasn’t this on Netflix? I swear I saw it there but can’t find it now.

Also I’ve scrolled by All the boys love Mandy lane and thought it looked familiar. I started watching it and I definitely watched it when it came out. This is my style movie, kinda “happy birthday to me”ish, haven’t gotten to the ending yet and I don’t remember how it plays out.

It Follows was on a Premium Channel last I checked. We'll see what horror movies go up on those channels in the next week or so. I don't use Netflix yet but I will eventually. I saw some good horror movies and shows in their recent teaser trailer.

Yep, It Follows was on Netflix for awhile, but it's gone.

Peaking at Netflix, these are pretty good post 2010 films:

Train to Busan - well done Korean zombie
The Conjuring - scary late 70's-ish
Hush - bit Hitchcockian
The Babysitter (good first 3/4th, bit of a 80's homage)

Post 2000s
The Cell
Cloverfield

Not Netflix: Vacancy, Dead Silence, The Ring 2002, Ouija: Origin of Evil

A premium channel?

I think the conjuring is one of the decent movies I couldn’t remember the name of. I watched the babysitter recently and it was entertaining enough, definitely had 80s vibe.

did you see Train to Busan or Hush yet? Based on your likes, I think you'll dig em. The prior is fast paced, modern and funny, but subtitles.

Not yet, I’m actually just now about to try and finish Mandy lane. Hopefully tomorrow I can check one of them out if they’re on Netflix, YouTube, or tubi.

Sculpt- it actually just registered to me that subtitles is out for now. Probably sound silly but I’m only watching these movies when I’m on the treadmill. I definitely couldnt keep up.

I looked at hush and I’ve seen it but I don’t remember much. Might rewatch.

Just finished Mandy lane. Cool movie.

Yeah, totally. I can't watch subtitled films if I'm eating or snacking. Probably be tough even if you were just doing a treadmill, you have to glue your eyes unflinchingly to the bottom of the screen.

I don't like watching subtitled films in general because you can't just watch the whole screen like the director intended it. Busan was an 'easy read', by the way, short and generally infrequent dialogue. So when you can just end your night with Netflix, it's a fun watch.

What I liked about Hush was that basically everything the film shows you is there for a purpose. That's generally textbook for making films, but for horror fans, especially cheaper horror, we know there's a ton of meaningless shoots and items. So it was cool to see a film with Hitchcockian detail.

Channels like HBO and Starz.

How about Mandy? The Void?

^^ will look into. I keep seeing Mandy recommended.

Oh I gotcha, I don’t have them.

I did just watch The Final Girls. It’s was entertaining enough but more of a spoof than horror.

The Collector (2009) and The Collection (2012) are also pretty solid, and have continuing storylines/characters. A third one will be coming out. All from the same director so if you've yet to check them out, might be worth a look.
I enjoyed them.

No offense, but don't waste your time with "It Follows" Not scary at all. Same with Babadook. WAY overrated.

Here are some that I found REALLY frightening:

Bonehill Road
Blood Moon
Man VS.
Dark Was the Night
Rawhead Rex
The Ritual

Bone Tomahawk, pure horror that's a total suprise when it happens.
Triangle, I love this film, but wouldn't really class it as horror.

It sounds like you want a slasher but I would have thought their time was over.

It seems obvious to suggest that Friday the 13th reboot but it wasn't half bad.

Hereditary is great

Also check out Haunting of Hill House - a series on Netflix. Pretty good if you like Conjuring type stuff

Steer Left!
 

Well, IMO, the greatest horror films were made first in that whole Dracula-Wolfman-Frankenstein era and then in the Vertigo-Birds Hitchcock era and then in the 1970s-1990s Leatherface-Michael-Jason-Freddy era.

After that, there's a huge dip with a bunch of random and mostly mediocre spook/scare-flicks like Candyman, Carrie II, Mothman (etc.).

However, there're are a few gems even after or somewhat before 2010 that don't remind us tasteless corn scare films like I Spit on Your Grave (anyone seen that one?), such as Urban Legend (LINK), It (LINK), and Jeepers Creepers (LINK).

I'd recommend avoiding 21st Century pure disasters such as the horrible and shocking Bloody Murder (LINK) and the equally-morbid if not as 'bizarre' Cucuy (LINK).

They should make a definitive horror-cinema guidebook, right??

Good luck!

::stick out tongue::

Rawhead Rex...............scary?::shocked::

i dont find any horror movie scary ..not since i was a kid.

but i find that some are effective ..

Heredity - as someone said above ..
and by the same filmmaker - Midsommer

Session 9 is a movie i suggest to everyone

bone tomahawk is just a great movie overall .. best dialogue of any horror movie ever

i dont judge horror by if it will scare me .. i judge it like i do any other genre .. is it well written, well made, well acted, well edited, well scored.
does it make me give a shit about the characters .... does it have one iota of originality ..

that eliminates 95% of all horror movies. but there are stiil some gems out there.

Yeah, not one to judge but....

I seem to recall this 80's movie with a girl from space...and two guys helped her escape her pursuers...I think there was motorcycles involved.

The Descent - 2005

Ready or Not - 2019

Roadkill - 2001 (also known as Joyride) Not really a horror, more of a thriller but a damn good movie

Halloween - 2007 (Rob Zombie)

Don't Breathe - 2016

The Collector - 2009

Wrong Turn - 2003

The Last House on The Left - 2009

Trace (from 2015)

Last Shift (from 2014)


It's been a while since I watched them. Last shift might have had some CGI, but then, maybe didn't. Even if it did, it definitely had practical effects, too.

I was surprised at how much I liked Last Shift. Totally expected it to be a shit show.

Was that the one with the female rookie cop? I thought it was excellent.

That's the one! Yeah, I really liked it.

I mean those are hands down classics and are gifts from the horror gods but still there's good ones too like

THE STRANGERS- https://oke.io/2SMdr4BL
THE HILLS HAVE EYES- https://oke.io/1RUrpPyJ
SMILEY- https://oke.io/Ln9Jkn0J


those are just 3 at random from my head

Of the new horror movies, I prefer The Mirror, The Curse of Annabel 3, and A Nightmare on Elm Street.

"bone tomahawk is just a great movie overall .. best dialogue of any horror movie ever"

Wanna see the best dialogue AND acting EVER in a movies? "The Thing From Another World" original 1951. Best, most natural dialogue EVER!
