    Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. Been on a rewatch of the series. It’s not good, but it was fun. I think it may actually be the installment I watched most as a child because we had it on VHS.

    Haunter (2013) - Modest but fun shoestring indie with some good ideas & atmosphere and solid performances.

    Started watching Terrifier but had to take a break. Lately I’m finding it more difficult to watch too much cruelty at once. I’ll watch the trilogy because I do love practical effects and the filmmakers accomplish a lot with a smaller budget, but I’ll probably ingest them 20 minutes at a time.

    Want to watch Hatching. Body horror used to skeeve me out but with the shift in my tolerance for slashers, I’m finding it easier to deal with overly stylised genres.

      I agree with you on Terrifier , I personally watched the first movie and was quite shocked. And I’m not going to watch the rest as I don’t want to watch movies that is violence just for the sake of violence.

      Lately I’m finding it more difficult to watch too much cruelty at once.

      Huh interesting - I’ve also developed an aversion to sadism in the last years. Not just with horror but with certain mainstream TV shows as well. Kinda triggering even though my life is very safe, as if the sadism is too real and no longer safely in the realm of fiction.

      Glad to see an opinion about this movie I agree with for once. It really started to meander and then ended up being so lame and anticlimactic.

        I was 10 different kinds of excited for a newer, more darker take on a Silence of the Lambs type Horror/Thriller. It started off like that PERFECTLY, then around the 1/2 way mark, it steadily turned into stupid, boring, horror shit.

    I watched Oculus. It was a fun watch! I love Mike Flanagan and I’m going to watch more of his stuff. I’m actually also watching Midnight Mass which is a miniseries that he made with Netflix.

    I also watched Terrified not to long ago. Really fun watch. I watched if because I found the director of When Evil Lurks made it. It was in my mind last years best movie.

      All of Mike Flannigan’s stuff scratch that intrigue itch for me, Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, all fantastic, the Haunting of Hill House probably the best of those listed.

      Wow! I hope you enjoyed this classic without major spoilers. It’s still as today one of the best horror movies I’ve ever seen.

      I’ve seen people call it the best horror movie ever, and it’s hard to disagree.

      The prequel is a fun watch too. Not as good, but fun to see the monster with more modern special effects and CGI.

    You know whats fucked up? I cant remember. I guess maybe Quiet Place Zero but that was more like a thriller/disaster movie.
