Films

I've actually never seen Nightmare on Elm Street!

Enjoy, they don't make em like they used to...

First one is good!

First one is camp and self-aware, I love it.
Avoid the 2000s remake/reboot, it's truly terrible.

It's nearly October, aka "watch a shit load of horror films month". Anyone got any suggestions?

‘Rec’

Really budget stuff, but enjoyable.

Yep another vote for Rec

Also Martyrs 2008 version

And The Devil's Backbone

So long as it's the original Spanish version of REC.
I also really liked The Orphanage.

I wouldn't consider it a horror, but I still think The Babadook is a great film.

The Orphanage

Another good one!

@greenhell ta for "feels good man" tip. Good documentary. Ta man

Martyrs 2008 version

Fucked up beyond words.

I tried to watch martyrs and it felt like Funny games : Anti entertainment.

I rewatched Mandy last night for the first time since I saw it at the cinema. I would strongly, strongly recommended giving it a watch. It's not really what you'd expect from a 2018 Nicholas Cage film and it just looks amazing.

Watched Mandy last night after it being recommend on here, so good!

I've had 4 goes at Mandy now, it's mad and wonderful but I need to stop trying to watch it a bit drunk or high, despite the third and fourth viewing being from part way through I keep falling asleep before the end. I think the over the top lighting and music is weirdly soothing to me.

I was talked out of taking acid before the first time I saw that film which I think is probably the best advice I've ever received.

Ha, yeah I think that would be a little bit much.

Rocks lives up to its great reviews, it’s outstanding. If you enjoy it then Divines is worth watching too.

A remastered version of Akira is out in the cinema ATM.

Books tickets

Booked mine ages ago. Saw it last night at the IMAX.

It was fucking amazing.

I'm on a spooky film tip this month.

Hush is really very good, on Netflix. Not your average horror, give it a watch but don't read up first.

Me and the Mrs watched Antebellum tonight - it’s had lots of bad reviews.

We thought the plot twists worked well, it kept us both hooked all the way through, at one point near the end it made a strong statement but overall that message was a bit cloudy. My wife’s conclusion was she didn’t enjoy it, I thought there was a good film hiding in there.

LUZ: Low budget horror about an entity following a woman to possess her. Not bad, plot is quite basic but some good moments. Hope the people involved will make more movies.

The love witch: 70s exploitation movie homage with satirical elements about a woman that ends up in a witch cult and can make love options that actually work. With unpleasant results... Not bad, well written light and costumes well done, worked for me.

I watched Final Destination for the first time ever yesterday. Absolutely incredible, couldn't stop laughing at all of the over the top, Rube Goldberg-esque deaths and terrible turn of the millennium fashion.

1-3 are all worth a watch. the rollercoaster one is maybe my favourite (3? maybe 2, I can't remember)
(4 is dogshit and 5 only worth it for completism)

Its a franchise from the 2000s that holds up (unlike Saw/ Paranormal Activity/ Conjuring, et al)
