/hor/ - Horror General

One of the best movies of the past 2 years. I'm not super into period piece type stuff normally but I loved this.

Height: 5'0"

She has that Spaeny look to her.

One of the best remakes of the 2000s and 2010s. Not as good as the original but a very good grimy slasher.

Best recs you've gotten from /hor/?

move to the more active thread. I'm not switching back and forth

I look forward to her career

I liked it desu.

Movie name?

The Monkey. I liked it more than most anons here apparently, not pure kino but not a bad watch at all.

Double based casting.

tfw you will never have a pet gizmo

It was slop

None.
I'm the one who rec

It was comfy. Felt like the kind of movie I'd have caught edited for tv on cable back in the day.

It was the worst possible thing; millennial quirk. Over and over without a moment doing anything otherwise.

it was actually pretty entertaining despite all the gay shit

Smol

That's reassuring, I'll add it to my watch list.

Isn't Spaeny also like 5'0 or something? What is this new midgefu phenotype Hollywood is pushing?

2 queers having a conversation here while everyone else moved to the other thread

you people are hopeless

Why are you seething so hard about this thread?

He's the L*wlifefag

You're probably right.

Clown in a Cornfield

weren't there two fucking horrors about a clown in small town america not that long ago

part 2 was 2019

mfw

Clown in a Cornfield is based on a book that came out in 2020. The It remakes are probably what inspired it.

People read books?

This is the type of discussion you're having to keep this thread relevant? LMAO.

Enough people read slasher books that they adapted one into a movie, apparently.
It's a YA book so I guess the audience is teens, which is surprising since I didn't think teens still read either.

It's a comedic gross-out drama at best

That's not how it works. Gross-out comedy is bodily fluids meaning piss and shit and vomit. Anything else like blood and guts falls under the horror umbrella, hence the terms "splatter cinema" and "body horror". That's why a lot of horror comedies tend to either tone down or just entirely drop the suspense in favor of more gore because it's easier to balance the comedy with the horror this way.

the company of wolves

Going to watch this semi-soon. It will be one of my next movies, whenever I'm in the mood.

Cute

Keep seething

Definitely not Lowlifes

It's obviously the OP of the other thread lmao.

I was gonna see it in theater but went to FD instead. Might make a trip this week then.

What's FD

one minute apart

Insecure

Why are you in this thread having a temper tantrum? Why does the thread existing make you mad?

When is the IT HBO series out(

Final Destination Bloodlines. I enjoyed it.

Final Destination. The new one is coming out.

That's not in theatres yet here

I normally say black comedy/splatter. There's lots in that genre, like Troma stuff. Horror adjacent in the most spiritually important ways.

NTA but there have been preview screenings. A lot of people have already seen it.

Oh. No idea why it released early here, international release dates are such a clusterfuck.

How was it tho

Children of the Corn vs. Clown in a Cornfield - who wins?

I forgot about that

Popcorn.

If you're a fan of the Final Destination series, you will like it. It's traditional but has a bunch of ways they keep you on your toes.
Major downside is the lead actress is an unappealing dei casting.

Looked at the other thread and it's fucking awful. It's the containment zone I guess.

I thinks its supposed to be out this year.

They should bring Devon Sawa back somehow.

It's like 50% the same anon. DESU I appreciate the autism because he probably bumps the thread at quiet times lol.

Is Franky Freako worth checking out?

Looking at his filmography he's made a decent comeback after his alcoholism. Haven't seen Heart Eyes yet but he's in that.
From memory he never got a kill scene in Final Destination they were just like, "yeah, he died here's his obituary in the paper". So he could totally be hiding innawoods.

why the fuck are their two threads? Mods delete this one

The other thread is full of spam and it got made after this one.

It's a lot more tolerable than Psycho Goreman. But still off kilter, kind of like if Napolean Dynamite was a comedy horror film.
I liked it even if it could have done more. Mainly a budget limitation.

Sounds interesting enough to watch. Thank you anon.

Any good horror movies with genre twists?
Like you think you're watching a supernatural horror movie but it's actually cosmic horror, or you think you're watching a slasher but it's actually supernatural horror.

Triangle

This thread was posted first.

Okay and it's literally dead and not nearly as active. You go to the thread that people are posting in. Why try to keep something alive when most people are somewhere else? You just make both threads less active because of it. there's nothing happening here

It's not a good movie but Evidence (2012) stands out as one that takes a sharp turn.

You're thread is literally spam

nta but I generally agree that's why the OP of the other thread should have taken the L when he made the post late, and posted second. Instead he just went "oh my ego is more important time to spam mine to the top".

The other thread is full of arguments and spam. This one is comfier. I go to whichever thread is better.

Sunshine
You think you're watching a sci-fi psychological thriller/drama until it turns into a unique blend of cosmic horror and slasher movie for a one of a kind viewing experience that most audiences and critics didn't and still don't like because they don't care for slashers

This

The other OP is pissed and was spamming in this thread and the last one. Imagine taking Anon Babble this seriously lol.

nigfa you just spoiled that nigga nigfa

Haven't seen this. Google says it's sci-fi thriller, enough to satisfy a horror fan?

He spoilered the text. Telling him there is a twist isn't really "spoiling" when it's exactly what anon asked for. Not like he told him this unprovoked.

I've watched Sunshine, I wouldn't really say that it has any cosmic horror but it was a good movie

Is that like Event Horizon

Definitely worth checking out.

Yes kind of.

Better Watch Out

It's not good. It's a mix of a few horror films, but done worse. If you don't care: Hot Fuzz, Scream

Thanks I'll put it on my list.

It had great casting

billions must die by a clown

Kek

Why are americans afraid of clowns?

Hope you enjoy. It's a divisive one but like I said it's worth watching for yourself.
Even aside from the sexo aspect she was a good lead and her "tomboy who grew up with brothers" character is fun.

One of the big reasons that "killer clowns" took off so hard in pop culture is the Joker from Batman.

John Wayne Gacy

Just watched "Hell of a Summer"
Aggressively average film. Normally I can imagine some changes that could make a horror movie good, but here I think it would take an entire restructuring from the ground up to make the movie good.
That's not to say it's bad. It is possibly the most 6/10 movie I've ever seen.

For a moment I thought this said "clown in a clown".

I saw it today, it's no Tucker and Dale but it has it's moments. It reminded me alot of Thanksgiving (2023).
It's based on a book so I'll probably check that out later. The movie version of Dark Harvest blew the book out of the water, be interesting to see if this is the same case.

I always think Tobe Hooper made one big mistake and that was not making this clown the center of Funhouse. We'd all be talking about Funhouse the clown or whatever if he had.
I'm struggling to think, are there many clown horrors before It?

Is Dark Harvest (the movie) good? I've been unsure if I should watch it.

damn that's some scary shit

I just learned of this movie's existence like two days ago. I'll check it out eventually.

It helps if you've seen or are aware of the director's other comedic films. I liked it, but it isn't for everyone. It also helps if you're an oldfag who grew up watching silly movies like Ghoulies.

I thought it was great. It sells the time period(50s-60s) well and has some good kills. Go in blind if you decide to give it a go.

I saw Psycho Goreman.

It also helps if you're an oldfag who grew up watching silly movies like Ghoulies.

It interested me because I wish more movies like that still got made.

It feels exactly like a Stephen King adaption but apparently it's an adaption of a different author.

Go in blind if you decide to give it a go.

Thanks bros. Won't look up anything else about it until I watch it.

Google says it's sci-fi thriller

It turns into a horror movie for like the last half which people complain about all the time. There are loads of examples of horror movies like that so why Sunshine is known as just a thriller is still a mystery.
The cosmic horror is referring to both the sun which acts as a metaphor for the divine and Pinbacker himself who's implied to have been kept alive by the sun for 7 years that's been shown multiple times throughout the film to vaporize anyone else that gets too close. Cillian Murphy's character touched his skin briefly and got burned by him that's how hot he was which shouldn't be possible for anything still living so it definitely has supernatural undertones to it

The killer clown theme has been around for a while like in the opera Pagliacci from the late 1800s, best known now as a joke told in Watchmen. Stephen King no doubt gets credit for bringing it to the mainstream.

Came here to say clown in a cornfield ends with two teenage boys kissing
I made my son look at the floor.
Fuck that movie

It was made a couple of years ago but, much like Trick 'r Treat did not get a wide release until a week or two ago.

Dad why did you bring me to a gay horror movie?

I. Don't. Know.

Oh okay that makes sense lol. I was surprised it slipped by me.

What is the most HORRIFYING movie you've ever seen? Like, something that will make you traumatized IRL.

Johnny Got His Gun

Schindlers List.
Because it really happened.

Summer of 84 (2018)
Holidays (2016)
Kill List (2011)

watching movie with dad

two men kiss

he gets visibly flustered and shoves my face to the ground

fine showing their little children violent gore

draws the line at depicted homosexuality

do americans really?

so how did Oz Perkins go from giga arthouse like The Blackcoat's Daughter and especially i'm the pretty thing that lives in the house to this? itpttl might as well been an art gallery installation and playing at some obscure film festival, but now he is making exploitation B-movies?

I have a great idea, let's make a kino horror but not in english! because people who like watching horror really want to spend time reading subtitles! genius

Money, I imagine. Though most directors have a bunch of stuff in their heads and try and branch out.

Clown in a Cornfield is pretty bad as a novel. The third one is by far the best mostly because of how batshit insane it gets.

I have competed rough draft summaries of episodes 1-4. it's starting to shape.
