Video Nasty edition
pic doesn't contain any of the real video nasty movies like Faces Of Death, Traces Of Death, etc.
I'm very disappointed
prosecuted films were not classed as video nasties
The Drop of the Water is a great segment

Have they done anything besides "ghost girl with black hair and white skin walks menacingly towards its victims"?
uk horror dominance
nta, but they do death game/elimination movies better than anyone. They also do well with pseudo-snuff, serial killers (although SK does it better), and splatter films. Of course, they dominate the weird space.
Yeah but a lot of the great ones are much earlier than anon is making out. 60s jap horror edgy af only the french maybe come close
'gento
Yes, they have.
I single out the 2000s for Japan because it was the J-Horror (see Kiyoshi Kurosawa) and japanese splatter (see Yoshihiro Nishimura and Noboru Iguchi) era. And we also have Takashi Miike that kinda blends the two styles I guess. But Im curious about your picks for 60s edgy Japan if you'd like to share.
I don't remember the name but the MC was a good boy martial artist until Keanu Reeves convinced him to do underground fights and he starts breaking peoples' bones and being a bad guy martial artist until he realizes he's being a bad guy so he stops and then Keanu visits his dojo to kill him and the MC does a hyper mega ching chong blast to cave his chest in
Anything by Teruo Ishii, who's basically a one man giallo factory, adapting Ranpo in Horrors of Malformed Men in 69 is one of his most famous, alongside his Joy of Torture series, but he was doing crime/mystery/horror since the 50s
Funeral Parade of Roses is a horror/comedy retelling of Oedipus Rex with trannies from a gay bar and breaking the fourth wall (I told you, they might as well be french)
Blind Beast, I think is the same year as the others, is about a blind sculptor and his mom kidnapping an s&m model for pursuit of art
It's also the period where Godzilla becomes a cute friendly monster if you've only seen the 50s version
Japan does enjoy a good mystery but the 60s have far more Ranpo/torture style mysteries, so there's kind of a lull during the period on the main detective series of the 50s and 70s (the Inugami family) in favour of things with a bit more bleh!
Man of Tai Chi?
Yes, that's what it was.
You guys told me that it was good, that it was the franchise going back to form.
It was mid as hell. Alvarez has a reasonably good eye and the actress was fine. But other than that it was a collection of cheesy references and contrived plot nonsense.
Also, I hate how they make the Xenomorphs as easy to kill as cockroaches. Or easier, even.
I'm also assuming you know things like Onibaba and Kwaidan which I maybe shouldn't
who is this
Malcolm in the Middle's non-binary child
I have been off and on watching through the 72 films in the Section 1 & 2 lists for the past few years. I have seen 65/72 so far. Maybe I'll actually finish them this year
I hate how they make the Xenomorphs as easy to kill as cockroaches. Or easier, even.
That kinda started with Aliens.
REMOVE THIS FILTH
At least it was a heavily armed and armored squad. This is a group of random 20-somethings.
What is some /hor/ aligned music
Picrel, but also I just want to mention bc I see people talking about them sometimes that Ice Nine Kills is absolutely terrible
pop sensation Skye Riley
She's incredible!
nta, but I don't mind them. They aren't a favorite band of mine, though. I do find it stupid that a lot of people hate them just for their appearance, similar to how core bands got shit on too in the 2000s.
I just spent 150€ in this record and I don't regret it one bit. Love scooby doo, love surf rock. Simple as.

Just watched The Night Eats the World, overall not bad for a one man show.
Also trying to remember the name of a horror film I watched years and years ago when I was younger, essentially it was about this group of people living together trying to survive after some sort of virus had spread caused by parasites I guess it was a little bit like The Thing in the end but kind of low budget. Anyway, the big twist wound up being the only thing that they had in common was that all of them were drinking or doing drugs the night before the parasites took over. their hosts
Yep, it was kino.
has anybody seen Cabin Anon lately?
Probably in a food coma or got abducted by aliens or slashed to death or killed by a cute ghost girl that he refused to make his gf
He should have just let her play her damn flute.
let her play his flute
True, haven't seen him in a while. Garlic Salt never came back after the site takedown either.
be cute shy ghost girl
new guy moves in across the way
send signals so he knows you're interested in him
try to flirt by playing beautiful music for him
he goes full sperg mode
yells at you
Dude deserved to die
it's possible Garlic just gave up namefagging and is still there. Cabinos sometimes goes days without namefagging but not this long
Watch Dead End (2003) and Campfire Tales.
Does anybody else like watching $0 budget slop that's just a bunch of retards in the woods with a camera? It's always absolutely awful but there's something charming about it.
I just hope I see everybody here in October. Last year was great.
yep
That's literally how The Evil Dead came to be.
Yes, low budget horror can have the most comfy soul out there.
I'm a FF Chad, so yes. It comes with the title.

10 Best 2025 Movies/Series So Far??
Horror or Otherwise!

its arguably the most raw, honest, soulful filmmaking the genre has to offer
I looked at your list, did not vote and closed it.
That is all.
Bleh
Try watching Arkansas Pigman Massacre, it is that kind of movie but nope, no charm there. It is complete shit.
bleh
You'd love this album then.
Dumb movie got me into liking the long nail bimbo look.
it was ok.
cutest vampire
sounds good. not really spooky though
What movies for charismatic vampires obssessed with spreading their foul curse to others instead of just killing/torturing humans?
It's cute and endearing
I'm pretty sure I've seen this lady in a ton of other stuff, but google says that's not the case at all. weird.
apparently it's dropping this friday
Isn't that the chick from Smile?
Ugly dog. Why do people watch shit with such ugly women?
More like Pron Queen, amirite?
is that like tron?
Are there any horror movies that don't feature any women?
its a Maika Monroe plays a deadpan 7/10 in a horror episode
no its the female crackhead from breaking bad (not Wendy, the one who crushes her boyfriends head with the ATM)
I watched an interview with Craig Perry and I'm convinced he's the person keeping Final Destination together. God only knows how terrible it could be.
Has he ever talked about why 4 was so bad?
anon has never seen The Thing
lol
lmao even
Has he ever talked about why 4 was so bad?
Death saved the best for 3D
Did any anons fall for the 3D TV meme? Was it actually good, or just overpriced gimmick?
The only 3D thing I remember was the wine cork coming towards the screen
4 feels like the shittiest CGI of the franchise
But the pool suction death is one of the best and unironically the most realistic of all the nonsense death traps, to the point it has happened multiple times especially to little girls who had their intestines sucked out by drains
Genny Weasley looking haggard.
lol
Silly gorefest that's impossible to take seriously. The main character crying every time the centipede failed was hilarious.

How many movies have you watched?
My LB is every movie I remember seeing and right now I'm at 525 but I'm only 27
You forgot about Possession which is arguably THE movie that invalidates the entire video nasties list and the surrounding public hysteria: bfi.org.uk
The 7/10s are my favorite
Are those heckin bad ass women?!
i saw a few movies in theaters in 3D and it was nice(including FD 4). my previous TV as also 3D and i liked the effect quite a bit. it's not a meme at all, it just failed because using glasses is annoying even more so if you already have to wear glasses to begin with underneath. some have headaches but i never had this problem.
VR stays niche for the same reasons. i have a PSVR that i barely used(Resident Evil 7 in VR was cool tho).
some films were converted to 3D but Final Destination 4 and 5 were shot natively
12 minutes in and it feels like it's been 4 hours. I see what you mean. Normally movies like this feel extremely soulful and comfy but this feels like an ai generated tiktok short.
Thoughts on Skinamarink? I appreciate what it was going for, but it's definitely more of a fever dream type film for me rather than a straight up horror. Creepy at points.
No.
Haven't you seen the movie?
some have headaches but i never had this problem
I only ever saw one movie in 3d in the movie theater (The Avengers 2012) and I enjoyed it but I had to remove the glasses every 15 minutes or so because of the headaches. Never saw another 3D movie after that and never tried VR.
I made the mistake of hearing that it was good and putting it on infront of friends before seeing it myself. There's too much downtime and half the film is just long shots of empty hallways.
shit that sucks. i wish they made 3D TVs still because i have a few movies in 3D that i can't watch but i do get why it didn't take.
VR usually doesn't do that because there is no flicker but some get heavy nausea. basically your body not registering the same motion as part of your brain thinks it's having. i only really had this problem with the robot platforming game for some reason. had a bit of nausea on other games at first after a few hours but it disappeared after getting used to the thing the heavy smell of the brand new PSVR's rubber probably didn't help...
every Italian horror film I watch they make a woman go fully nude christ what where they thinking?
so you haven't watched Suspiria (1977) and Inferno (1980)?
tourists are not welcome here.
Another garland stinker, this guy is the master of taking kino ideas and running them through the ringer.
My brothers gf has VR and has injured herself using it, so I don't really want to try it. Plus it's expensive, so that doesn't help either. I remember buying my first Super Nintendo for $200 and now the barrier to entry for things seems to be $500+ if you're lucky.
I've still got a lot to watch
And that's a good thing
No. Should I?
I remember buying my first Super Nintendo for $200
to be fair it would be 470 bucks when adjusted for inflation but yeah VR is pretty expensive, even considering they sell PSVR at a loss. i was considering the Steam Index at some point but the price and the thought that i might not use it often made me reconsider. console VR is not as interesting given the small library and absence of modded-in VR modes.
I think it was about sex without love, not STD's.
I don't want to pay a premium price for handhelds. I want a somewhat decent screen to enjoy content on. Doesn't have to be big, 24" - 32" is fine. But I have enough vision problems that I don't want to squint at a 8" or smaller screen for gaming or video.
i only game on a 40" screen atm
