Im putting a thread of this genre here because I’m a geek when it comes to horror.
I’ve been binge watching horror movies lately.
Anyone here love them as much as I do?
I’ve fallen off becsuse I haven’t been feeling that great. But whenever I get spurts of good health I watch horror/thriller/sci-fi/etc. It calms me.

Recently I’ve watched a couple on Netflix.
The Ritual on Netflix. It was good. I really liked the dialogue. It gave me a bit of M night feels crossed with Blair witch. Like the village.
Chernobyl diaries was okay. I’ve seen better zombie movies but it was entertaining-ish.

I usually love watching paranormal type movies. All the conjuring world ones, paranormal activity, etc. I also love classic slasher like Halloween. It’s my personal favorite movie of all time. The new one was pretty cool. I stay away from gore if it’s too gratuitous. I’ll still enjoy it but it’s not my personal favorite sub genre. |

The Mist is one of my favorites. It’s disturbing because people are scarier than the monsters there.
I can talk horror movies all day.

This is one of my favorite horror movie documentaries. It use to be on Netflix. Not sure where else I can stream but it's a great doc on the American movie horror timeline. Very educational.

Chernobyl diaries was okay. I’ve seen better zombie movies but it was entertaining-ish. I really really enjoyed the Ritual. I liked how there was actually a thing, and not like a maybe thing like in Blair witch. That surprised me because I went into it as a meh horror on a sunday afternoon. I watch most of my horror on Sunday afternoons |

The Mist was fucking fantastic. The "oh shit" moment at the end fucked me up. So, so good.

miawallace, I'm still trying to figure out exactly what kind of horror I like reading, I've been reading Paul Tremblay, Grady Hendrix, Alma Katsu, Johnathan Janz, Kristi DeMeester, Gabino Iglesias (so so good!). I like possession stories (but not movies...I can't with the body contortions), haunted house, witchcraft, vampires. I will add The Ritual and The Mist to my to-watch list. A friend and I are working our way through 80's slasher flicks slowly. I will also try to find that doc.

Went through my Netflix history:
Apostle sucked. Was not what I thought. It was boring and they tried to make it up with gore. I want horror, not just gore
Train to Busan is an older one, but I finally had a chance to watch it. Very good. Lots of oh shit moments. Kind of predictable at the end but still good.
Don't knock twice was ok. I honestly don't remember that much of what happened. It wasn't that memorable., I mostly watched it because the main chick was the same chick who plays the Captain in Another Life. Which BTW is a fantastic sci fi horror show. Just fantastic. Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
Malicious. Yawn. The box was a cool idea, but it was poorly executed and left a lot to be desired. Again, another one I had to look up to remember what happened.
The Silence. OMG. I LOVED this movie. I liked the actors. I liked the premise. It was a really original idea. The ending was kind of cheesy but still, I'd watch it again.
Spectral. I pretty much begged H to watch this with me and he was surprised by how much it didn't suck. Cool concept. Well done. Different. Would also watch again.

When a stranger calls is one of those movies I thought i wasn’t going to like. The premise is pretty obvious, but i was pretty surprised by how much I liked it. I’ve watched it several times because it hits s good suspense spot.
They did a good job with build up. The dialogue is pretty cliche though.

Bumping this to say I saw IT 2 over the weekend and it was freaking hilarious. I loved it. It was great! The woman sitting next to MH was on the verge of a heart attack the entire time and I don't know why, but it made it so much funnier. She legit screamed at one part and I burst out laughing. I do think it was a bit long and was almost 3 hours. Could have been a half hour shorter easily. But otherwise such a good time. 10/10 would recommend.
