Spooky season will be over soon but we still have time to binge some Halloween favorites so share your favorite scary movie recommendations in this thread.
This sounds interesting. I love horror in non-traditional settings. Western Horror is incredibly underused. The only one that comes to mind is Bone Tomahawk, which is a must see if you haven’t. Thanks for the suggestion!
Trick R Treat is a Halloween Classic, watch that if you haven’t
Gonna recommend some slower artsy horror films that I really enjoyed but aren’t for everyone. If you enjoyed the movies like The VVitch and Hereditary they may be right up your ally.
-A Dark Song (Slow Burn Occult Horror inspired by an actual ritual done by Alester Crowley)
-The Endless (Low-budget Cosmic Horror story about two brothers returning to the UFO cult they escaped from as children)
-Annihilation (Cosmic Horror. A team of female Scientist must cross a growing barrier which allows no people or communication to escape.)
-Men (Folk Horror. A traumatized woman retreats to a quiet English village but finds herself tormented by its inhabitants.)
-The Empty Man (Based on a graphic novel, sort of a mix of a Slasher and Cosmic Horror. A bit overlong and needed to be edited, but enjoyable none-the-less)
-Suspiria (Both the original and the 2016 remake, they are best enjoyed together as the remake compliments the original rather well. A young American woman enrolls in a prestigious German dance school where not everything is as it seems)
-His House (A refugee family flees to the UK. Can they escape the ghosts and trauma of their past while attempting to adjust to their new life?)
-Amulet (Another topical horror film involving refugees in the UK. An ex-soldier moves in to a new flat occupied by a woman and her ill mother where he is tormented by ghost past and present.)
-The Blackcoats Daughter (Slow Burn Religious Horror. Two girls are left alone at a Catholic boarding school over winter break when one of them begins to exhibit unsettling behavior)
The same duo behind The Endless and Resolution released a film on Netflix called Synchronic that also has ties to the other two. Personally I found it to be the weakest of the trilogy but it was worth watching. Its much more accessible to mainstream audiences and is more a sci-fi thriller then horror.
I just finally watched both Terrifiers and they are…something, lol. Art the Clown could be a classic like other slashers soon. Hope they can increase the budget and work on acting and story a little more for the next one.
lol I honestly hate clowns, but Art is my favorite. The moment I saw him in All Hallows Eve I did research and found out there was a movie about him and I loved it. The second one way good, but I hate the way he was defeated lol
They are working on a 3rd too I hope they don’t go overboard and kill his legacy lol
Threads (1984 BBC tv movie banned from rebroadcast for 40 years due to being too horrifying). It’s about the death of hope, and how all that remains after is to hope for death.
Edit: I’ve seen it once. That was enough, I never want to see it again.
May I suggest: Feng Shui (2004) and The Road (2008)? Both come from the Philippines, and are generally considered to be modern local horror classics in here.
