this is really sudden but any movie recommendations, im in a bit of drought for this to watch right now and i’m up for anything, especially if it’s horror related, or gay or can be interpreted as gay you know what i mean?
Horror and gays, two of my favourite things. Here's some movies that are mostly both.
My top choice is not-quite horror, and you've probably seen it, but just in case you haven't, Stand By Me (1986) is one of my favourite movies, and it's Stephen King, so it definitely has horror vibes, even if it's never out and out scary.
As for horror that's kinda gay? (I'll try to get the obvious ones out of the way since I'm not sure which ones you already know about.)
Ginger Snaps (2000) and Ginger Snaps: Unleashed (2004) feat. my favourite probably autistic, definitely (gender?)queer Brigitte Fitzgerald.
I know it's really popular now, again, but the old Interview with the Vampire (1994) was pretty queer for its time. Obviously the show outshines it in terms of queer content, but hey, I love these two idiots.
Tomie (富江) (1998) from Japan is pretty cool and queer. In a similar vein, Wishing Stairs (2003) (which I think is the third? one in the Korean Whispering Corridors series) still sticks in little queer teen me's mind.
Obviously Jennifer's Body (2009), this is like my comfort film lmao.
The Quiet (2005)
and
Excision (2012) feels pretty queer to me, but others might disagree. At the very least, Pauline is so wonderfully weird she's basically queer in my books.
All Cheerleaders Die (2013) was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
also, maybe it's not overtly queer enough for other people, but the friendship in The Battery (2012) which is one of my FAVOURITE ZOMBIE FILMS OF ALL TIME is a pretty good one. It could be homoerotic if you squint??
Lyle (2014) and What Keeps You Alive (2018) are a very specific brand of overtly queer horror that is specifically, canonically queer, but not my favourite type of queer, if I'm being honest. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say more. Lyle is an incredible film, and not just because Gaby Hoffman is so so beautiful and absolutely just knocks it out of the park. What Keeps You Alive is... less good, but fun to watch with pals, I guess. It's that kind of horror.
Speaking of beautiful people, Don't Kill Me (Non mi uccidere) (2021) Alice Pagani and Silvia Calderoni I'm sorry? My gender exploded. I don't know why it has such a bad rating on imdb. It wasn't amazing, but it was fun and unique. Worth a shot, imo.
The Perfection (2019) what a fucking ride. Pretty queer. Maybe don't eat first.
The Midnight Swim (2014) isn't quite horror and isn't quite queer but it is female-centric, and I don't think enough people have seen it. It deserves a watch.
The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) was a girl's boarding school which already made it queer enough for me haha. Some good scares in this one. Better than anticipated.
And, speaking of boarding schools, The Silenced | 경성학교: 사라진 소녀들) (2015) is a Korean movie set during the Japanese occupation of Korea in the '30s and idk man. Beautiful, weird, gay. It was good. If you like this one, you will probably like A Tale of Two Sisters (장화, 홍련) (2003) which is (probably) not queer but very, very good horror and very beautiful.
They Look Like People (2015) is another one like The Battery. Could be homoerotic if you squint. Obsessed with the male friendship in this one, and the mental illness factor. I really love this movie. This is the movie I would maybe double-feature with Super Dark Times (2017) for top five fave boy-friendships.
Raw (Grave) (2016) arguably not queer, but certainly queered desires or 'othered' desires. Another female-centric horror. I love this one. Blue My Mind (2017) feels Queer AF. It's like if Fucking Åmål (1999) was a horror movie. I also recommend Fucking Åmål, but it's not horror, it's just queer.
Thelma (2017) actually queer. Beautiful, extremely well-done, not crazy about the ending.
Would it be weird of me to mention The Shed (2019) Maybe I just wanted it to be queerer? I can't actually remember if it was now, just that the potential was there.
And, not quite queer but definitely good horror, check out Magic Magic (2013) if you haven't seen it. Girl Asleep (2015) is horror adjacent, not super queer, but also just... so weird and good and fun.

Mel’s Halloween 31 for 31, ranked
All of these rankings are relative, so just because something is further down doesn't mean it's a bad movie. Here's how I would group them:
1 - 6: S tier
7 - 12: A to A-
13 - 22: B+ to B
23 - 26: C-
27 - 31: Stay clear
Overall, I'm really happy with my final list. There were only a handful of movies that I actively didn't like. Everything else gets at least an, "I enjoyed and you should check it out." It's surprisingly hard to watch 31 movies in a month and I'm excited to take a break from tv (and maybe actually pick up writing again) but this was a fun challenge.
I have more thoughts on some of the stand outs (good and bad) below the cut but thank you everyone for bearing with me as I went on a horror hiatus to watch all of these movies!
Barbarian - An easy #1. It was the most fun I had with all of these movies and also left me the most disturbed after finishing it. Loved it so much I watched it twice and enjoyed it just as much the second time.
His House - Not the scariest on the list but gets the second spot because the themes were so beautiful and it might be one of my favorite endings of all the movies on the list.
Suspiria (2018) - I think people are kind of polarized about this one? And honestly I get it but there's no other way to describe this than to just say it's a vibe and I'm into it. I dig anything witch-related so this really did it for me.
Hell House LLC - Scariest movie on the list by far. Would love to watch it again but am maybe too scared? Also I love found footage and hope the genre never dies.
Blackcoat's Daughter - So happy I watched this at the end of 31 for 31 so I could finish on a high note. A real slow burn but such a heartbreaker. Probably better to know less going into watching it.
A Record of Sweet Murder - The director played the found footage camera man!
Baskin - I complained that Hellraiser didn't have enough gore but this one might have had just a little too much?
Malignant - Would've scored higher if the main actress was a better actor. Comes in just behind Barbarian if we're ranking based on unexpected, totally bananas twists.
Candyman (1992) - Way too problematic to rank higher. Literally features a white savior who engages in academic poverty porn/tourism as its protagonist.
Lake Mungo - I don't get why this has such good reviews. It's basically just, "What if we just paused the footage and zoomed in reeeeeeeally close?" Go watch Hell House LLC instead.

Longlegs: One More ‘Dirty’ Teaser for Oz Perkins’ Eerie
“The man downstairs.” Here we go again—another strange Longlegs: One More ‘Dirty’ Teaser full of haunting text to decipher. What does it all mean?! Neon has revealed one more erie teaser trailer for Longlegs, set to open in theaters nationwide starting this July. We’ve featured the other cryptic teasers before, as well as the incredible first official trailer for this film a few months ago. FBI Agent Lee Harker is assigned to an unsolved serial killer case that takes unexpected turns, revealing eerie evidence of the occult. Harker soon discovers a personal connection to the killer and must stop him before he strikes again. Longlegs is the latest film from director Oz Perkins (of The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, and Gretel & Hansel). The horror film stars Maika Monroe as Lee Harker, Nicolas Cage, Alicia Witt, Blair Underwood, and Dakota Daulby. All of this red text in here is a clue that needs to be deciphered, along with the text written on the page in one shot. One of the best marketing campaigns of 2024—it’s all so brilliant and scary. To watch trailer click here.

For anyone that wants to help me: I’m looking for more horror films to watch for the week! I’ve gone through lists for some fun cheap scares, but now I want something that’s actually more more style, I want something to genuinely get under my skin again, as much as I like horror healing like the Haunting of Bly and Marrowbone.
I’m into those creepy, obscure, supernatural liminal space/psychological type horror films. I’m not a big fan of sci-fi horror films. If it’s a blockbuster, I’ve probably already seen in it, so I don’t need to hear about the Ed and Lorraine Warren franchise or the Exorcist and so forth. And I really cannot do heavy gore/diease/slasher for personal reasons.
The kinds of films that I’m looking for, that I love, you can feel the unnerve sinking deep into your bones slowly but surely, sometimes you’re almost not really sure if you should be afraid or not, but there’s something about the vibe that makes you feel like you should be afraid, you feel like your safety or sense of reality is slowly being dismantled over the course of the film. It’s like a quiet horror that grows until it’s nothing but a blaring noise and then *cut*. I like ones with very little expalination on what goes on, well developed atmosphere, and bonus points for ultra creepy antagonists or happenings. If it makes any sense, I like my terror to stem from being unsettled and not from being scared.
Some examples of ones that fit what I’m talking about are Possum (this one is exactly it) but things done in the style of I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House or the Blackcoat’s Daughter and—even though I’d never watch it again—Eraserhead are also fitting.
#I usually say ‘...What the fuck???’ during all the films I like#I might just watch possum again idk#I’m really struggling to find some good films#horror#film recommendation#smol talk

I see you posting about horror and I would love some recs if you have some to share 🙏
i just accidentally deleted a whole list fjahsjdasd i hate my life. anyways, i’m just gonna go ahead and assume you know the classics that get recommended all the time (the babadook, the ring, the exorcist, the vvitch, the conjuring, hereditary, the thing, insidious, etc.). here’s some underrated/indie horror movies i rarely see talked about (favs are in italics):
The not-actually-that-scary-but-still-good horror movies:
Let The Right One In (2008) – I mean, it’s literally my favorite movie/book and I have a tattoo of it, we been knew
Possum (2018) – I cannot even begin to tell you how much I adore this movie. Horror movies about CSA that explore it without once showing the actual rape, but still being terrifying/disturbing nonetheless?? Just an irish guy chilling with the puppet personification of his csa trauma????? Hells yeah (huge TW for spiders tho, i mean. I’m not scared of spiders but that fucking puppet is stil terrifying no matter how much I look at it)
Hard Candy has a soft spot in my heart. That’s my emotional support „ellen page tortures pedophiles“ movie
Thirst (2009)
Ravenous (1999) THE INHERENT ROMANTICISM OF BEING GAY AND CANNIBALS ON A MOUNTAIN. Brokeback mountain for cannibals
We Are What We Are (2010)
Marrowbone (2017)
The transfiguration (2016) – there’s so little vampire stories with black people, and i really loved how this wasn’t outright fantasy horror but had more of a ‚vampirism as an actual mental illness‘ approach
Nightbreed (1990) this movie IS lgbt cinema history
Gerald’s Game (2017) – we get it elena you love horror movies about the trauma of CSA
The autopsy of jane doe (2017) - i feel like this movie is perfect for horror fans who are tentative about seeing any big grotesque/gorey jumpscares
As Above, So Below (2014) (the first and so far only movie that got permission to film in the paris catacombs) (also good for starters)
The Actually-Scary (at least to me) movies:
Lake Mungo (2008) ((think of TMA’s The End)) (i deadass think about this movie so often, the story is so devastating and really stays in my head. also the bg ghosts)
The [REC] franchise!!! any of those movies fuck me up and are TERRIFYING (again ff)
I watched 30 Days of Night (2007) when it came out, when i was way too young, and it still to this day holds the spot for coolest vampire design (they modelled them after the jaws of white sharks!!! They’re supposed to be slavic strigoi) and also one of the only one times where i was actually scared by vampires
Livid (2011) (french horror movie!) (v gorey)
The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014) (found footage of a demonic mom – you’ll see a lot of FF on this list cuz i think it’s criminally underrated and terrifying if done well)
NOROI: The Curse (2005) ((ff))
Open water (2003) (this is scary to me because it’s based on a true story about a couple who went cave diving in the ocean with a guide who got LEFT BEHIND in the middle of the motherfucking ocean – with literally nothing to hold onto and no one even reporting them missing. Also, after i watched this i did a lil research and turns out there’s quite a lot of people ‚going missing‘ while taking swimming lessons where the guides will just drive to shore without them YEARLY. Fucked up if true) ((this has tma the vast vibes))
Clown (2014) (I recommend this to people who aren’t scared to like Eli Roth movies and think It Chap. 1 was boring)
Martyrs (2008) – a classic, this movie is bound to disturb you. It’s about child abuse and the survivors of child abuse enacting revenge, though it’s not the typical csa/anything similiar. HUGE tw for uhhhh, torture, self harm, mutilation etc..
Mama (2008) – the goth tattooed rocker chic jessica chastain movie
The bay (2012) (ff)
The last exorcism (2010) (ff)
The wailing (2016)
If you put on any V/H/S movie for me I’m guaranteed to shit my pants, so there’s that
May (2002) – i turned lesbophobic after watching this movie. About a lesbian obsessed with dolls i’ll say nothing more
The not-as-scary-but-still-scary-so-i-dont-wanna-put-them-in-the-first-list-in-case-i-traumatize-anyone movies:
Creep 1 & 2
The Strangers
The void (2016) ((tma the spiral))
The Hallow (2015)
The loved ones (2009) – a classic
Excision (2012) (if you liked raw)
Devil’s pass (2013)
Afflicted (2013) ((ff))
The cell (2000)
Session 9 (2001)
They Look Like People (2015)
The children (2008) – fuck them KIDS
The blackcoat’s daughter (2015)
I really liked Armie Hammer’s netflix original Wounds (2019)? IDK why. I found the story (albeit better suited as a short story) fascinating
Night Eats The World (2018) – another french movie! This time it’s about the inherent isolation and loneliness in locking yourself in a parisian apartment all alone with a bunch of zombies eating the rest of the world
Pontypool (2008)
The lure (2015) – yes, we’re polish, yes, we’re mermaids, yes, we eat men, yes, we also perform in a pop girl group WE EXIST!
I am not a serial killer (2016)
Green room (2015)
That’s it, pretty much.
#god i saw my life flash before my eyes when i accidentally deleted the whole reply. so i did it in word instead#pirategf

I watched The Blackcoat's Daughter.
3 out of 5 stars.
Also, I've already spoiled this movie for myself and watched a recap, before even seeing the movie. But I watched the whole thing anyway.
This post is all over the place because this movie is all over the place. It's told in non-chronological order. Lots of time jumping.
Emma Roberts plays Joan.
Kiernan Shipka plays Katherine.
Lucy Boynton plays Rose.
It's about two girls alone in a boarding school, two nuns watching over them, another plot thread involving a young woman named Joan and her desire to get to a certain town, and a demon that links the two stories together.
Spoilers ahead.
It opens with a schoolgirl named Katherine. She has a dream of a wrecked car. A strange man comes in and out of her room. The movie shows her sleep, then awake, then sleep again. But I think she actually is supposed to be sleep when they're showing her as awake in the morning scene. The strange man, who you can't even see the face of BTW, is with Kat as she views the wrecked car in her dream. The truth is that her parents are dead. She doesn't know it. And she's eager to see them. RIP her happiness.
The strange man is supposed to be the demon, I think.
Anyway, Katherine lives at a boarding school. The weirder she gets, though, she actually wants to live at the boarding school. Even though she can't, because her parents are dead. IDK. This is a bit hard to explain. But if her parents are dead, she can't live at the school anymore. Which is actually the case. Either way, Kat spends some time not knowing her parents' fate. And the viewer (us) doesn't get explicitly informed that her parents are dead. We don't even know how they die. Car crash, apparently.
This movie is weird. Some of it is pretty vague. There's aspects of this movie that make it seem "empty". Like it's lacking something. The whole film is "off".
Spoiler alert. Kat is Joan, who is intent on reaching that town. It's actually the town where the school is. Joan is an escaped mental patient. In there for the murders of Rose(former schoolmate) and the nuns(old ladies who worship the dear Lord above) Joan actually gets Rose's parents to take her near the town, then she murders them. She wants to please and reunite with her headmaster (the demon) It's not referred to as the headmaster, but it's pretty much Joan's master. So the word fits.
Long story short, the demon is gone. Because Joan was exorcised of it when she was still a teenager at the mental institution. Funny thing is, some fans of the movie think Joan/Kat was just schizophrenic. But she literally floats above her bed during the exorcism. How tf can you explain that in a non-supernatural way?
Anyway, take a shot each time someone says headmaster. Especially Kat.
Teen Kat is at the school during break. Her parents didn't come(they're dead) Rose is older and meaner. She's there too. But she thinks she's pregnant because she missed her period, and she purposely set things up so she could stay at the school for break too. She wants to avoid her parents. Rose wants to avoid everyone. She's really aloof and it's hard to like her. The girl isn't even pregnant. She doesn't even takes a pregnancy test. Just jumps to conclusions.
Her actress is Lucy Boynton. Young British lady. She mimics an American accent. I am trash at noticing accent slips, but even I noticed her accent slipping when her character is talking to Kat in her dorm room. When she's getting ready to see her BF(not baby daddy) In one sentence, the first few words sound very British. Haha.
"You know I'm not babysitting
you tonight right, Freshman?"
That line. You can really hear Lucy's British accent there.
Rose and the nuns were arseholes. It's hard to care when Kat murders them. Rose's mom was cold too. You only feel a bit bad when Rose's dad gets killed. Because he was the only decent person in this movie.
FLAWS
1 One thing I didn't like about the movie is its lack of heart. I prefer seeing affection and genuine care between characters in media I consume. TBCD didn't have that. These characters were acting so cold and distant. I hated that. Rose especially.
2 Lowkey horror. There's less excitement here. Less scary things happen. It's really slow.
3 Adult Joan and teen Joan(Katherine) are the same person, but I don't get the sense they're the same person. They have the same hair, and same gunshot wound, but they don't even seem like the same person.
4 Joan's scenes were pretty boring. Somehow her first scene at the bus station and her last few scenes were the ones I liked of her the most.
5 It's not explicitly said what happened to Kat's parents, which is annoying. But it's implied they died in a car accident. We never even see them.
6 I don't want to call this movie boring, but it's definitely a lot less intense. Most of the good stuff happens near the end.
7 The lack of humor. Nothing to laugh at in this movie. Just coldness and creepiness.
PROS
1 I love how more deranged Kat looks as the movie goes on. Eventually she looks and acts more like her adult self(Joan)
2 I like the part after Katherine calls the nun a cunt, and then she's mentioning the headmaster while she's alone in the room with Rose while the nuns are near the phone.
3 The Kat and Rose flashback scenes are pretty interesting.
4 The non-chronological order was pretty great.
5 Great detail: Kat raising her ups in the shape of the demon's upright, straight horns. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but it was brilliant. I seen that part multiple times, but I only recently realized those raised arms looked like the demon's horns.
6 The exorcism scene was great. It's cool how the demon literally turns, as if to leave the room like a normal person, then the next shot it isn't there at all anymore. Just gone.
7 It's not explicitly said that Kat and Joan are the same person, but the clues are there. So it doesn't come out of nowhere when you realize the truth.
Joan has the shoulder wound.
She sees a memory of Father Brian.
She sees a surgery team.
She has the same hair as Katherine.
Joan's ID is stolen from someone else, showing she is lying about her true identity. Joan is Kat. Kat is Joan.
Kat knows Father Brian. You even see him in her scenes. If someone realizes that Joan knows him too, and has the same hair color as Kat, you can guess that Kat and Joan are the same person very early on.
Kat gets shot. She survives. Like how Joan got shot and survived. More proof they are the same.
8 It's brilliant how this movie about two different time periods fools you into thinking it's just one time period. The truth is that one plot thread takes place several years apart from the other plot thread.
9 The last demon phone call was pretty cool.
10 The last scene with Joan sobbing while alone was pretty cool too. Great acting from Emma Roberts.
11 The furnace not being on and it being cold was a nice touch, showing Joan's demon daddy was truly gone.
12 The demon calls Kat baby girl
13 It's understandable that Kat would go off the rails and kill people for the demon. If you notice, Kat had 0 friends and everyone in the movie was cold to her. Funnily enough, the only person who shows teen Kat warmth and kindness is the demon.
14 Nice touch: When Kat calls the nun a cunt, the word is distorted. Like a demon talking. And in one phone call to Kat, the demons tells her to kill all the cunts. This shows Kat was possessed during that scene with her insulting the nun.
15 The small cast and lack of warmth made me feel alone lol. You feel what Kat feels. It's fitting that this film is set in winter.
16 Joan prettying herself up before going to see demon daddy after murdering two people. Nice.
17 Rose being scared of creepy Kat was funny. And "You had your chance" indeed. Rose only acts nice to Kat when it's already too late. The girl is too far gone then.
The movie could have been better, but it was entertaining enough. 3 out of 5 stars.

Film Meme!
Nabbed from @firstaudrina, and in which I am completely unable to limit myself to single film choices.
Favorite movie: Impossible to choose, but the first that comes to mind are Billy Elliot, A Room With a View, Sex Lies and Videotape, Closer, The Fellowship of the Ring, In the Mood for Love.
Movie that makes you remember your childhood: The Goonies, The Mighty, The Secret Garden and Willow were probably the most formative.
Favorite Tom Hanks movie: I’m not actually a big Tom Hanks fan, I think the adulation of him is a more American thing maybe? Probably the Green Mile.
Favorite Disney movie: Robin Hood, which is hands down the funniest Disney movie. Mulan and Hercules are close seconds.
Movie that makes you cry: Every movie? I cry very, very easily at movies, which is a thing I’ve inherited from my dad. I think Whale Rider has probably made me cry the hardest of any film.
Favorite 80’s movie: Just to be a cliche, The Breakfast Club.
Favorite comedy: We do craft absolutely stellar comedies in Scandinavia, well in Denmark and Sweden, but most people haven’t heard of those. So I’ll go with Hot Fuzz and What We Do in the Shadows. Hysteria was also a lot of fun.
Favorite sports movie: Bend it like Beckham, although I also have a weird, sentimental relationship with Remember the Titans for some strange reason.
Favorite courtroom movie: Again, this is such an American genre, but I liked Primal Fear.
Favorite horror movie: So many, it’s one of my favourite genres, love The Babadook, The VVitch, Mulholland Drive - David Lynch in general is a master of suspense, although he’s never scared me more than in Twin Peaks. Recently I really enjoyed The Blackcoat’s Daughter.
Most overrated movie: Everything Quentin Tarantino has done since Pulp Fiction. Most of the best picture winners at the Oscars. Never got the fuss about Interstellar.
Favorite gangster movie: Really, really not my genre, which I think might stem from the people who are fans of those types of movies and idolise the main characters in a way that’s kind of off putting. I liked Infernal Affairs and Animal Kingdom though.
Favorite war movie: Agree with @firstaudrina on Testament of Youth, which was excellent, but still haven’t found any war movie I enjoy more than Band of Brothers. Maybe Pan’s Labyrinth if we should go for something unexpected.
Movie you can watch over and over again: My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away, Dirty Dancing, a lot of the teen comedies of the 90s.
Movie with the best soundtrack: Billy Elliot, Romeo + Juliet, Moonrise Kingdom, Drive. If we’re heading into just instrumental scores, Alexandre Desplat’s Lust Caution, Joe Hisaishi’s Spirited Away, Dario Marianelli’s Atonement, Yann Tiersen’s Amelie.
Favorite Christmas movie: Probably Home Alone?
Movie you’re embarrassed that you love: Generally I don’t get embarrassed about which movies I love, but then again I volunteer at a cult movie cinema, so generally you can explain away your love for most things.
Favorite sequel: The Two Towers and Return of the King.
Favorite period drama: This is my fucking jam, love a good period drama! The Piano, Sense and Sensibility, Elizabeth (yes I know it’s wildly historically inaccurate, but have you seen the art direction?!) The VVitch can go in here as well, as can A Room With a View.
Favorite movie quote: I can quote Taika Waititi’s movies all the fucking time. “Leave me to do my dark bidding on the Internet!”
I’ll tag @bunivys

Blair witch genuinely scared me but I was 12 when it came out and I never saw it til a few years later- might’ve been the fear from when I was still scared of horror movies. I found IT just funny and not a tiny bit scary. Movies I’ve found reasonably scary tho: The Descent (UK version), hereditary. I genuinely thought a few eps if haunting of hill house were scary but the show is too slow and boring for me otherwise
i was 5 when the original blair witch came out and i didn’t see it until i was maybe... 18? but yeah, i hadn’t watched horror before then, so i was easily scared. IT really isn’t scary to me at all. it has jump scares, yeah, but that’s not what makes a movie genuinely scary imo, it has more to do with the overall vibe. IT1 is far too bittersweet/melancholy/coming-of-age/genuinely funny to be truly bone deep scary. and IT2 is just fucking sad
i LOVE the descent but again, i wasn’t really scared by it. Hereditary got me SO GOOD, as did the Babadook, and then to a lesser degree there’s movies like Triangle, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Oculus, The Children.... i haven’t watched any of haunting of hill house, i’ve heard mixed things. always waiting for that next thing to creep me out. i really wanted to be scared by The VVitch or Midsommar but i wasn’t. ah horror. my beloved fave genre

Horror Movies I’ve Watched This October Already:
Creep (Very good, but I hated every minute of it)
Creep 2 (Better than the first one, and more manageable...)
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (Meh...)
The Blackcoat’s Daughter (Well... it’s certainly A Story)
Gerald’s Game (Glad I saw it, though I wont likely watch it ever again.)
Hush (I liked it as a survival horror movie.)
(To be updated...)
If you want to see the horror movies I’ve watched like, ever, then you can check out my Letterboxd list. There’s a bunch I’ve watched I still haven’t added. Feel free to talk to me about any of these movies.

Hey! Just saw that you were into horror movies - in a few weeks I’m going to start an intensive class discussing the philosophical aspect of horror & why it’s so important in our society. We’re going to watch horror movies, read horror literature, and travel to haunted places! I’m very excited. What are your favorite horror movies? I love the movie What We Do in the Shadows; have you seen it?
oh wow that sounds so interesting! i love horror & thrillers & everything in related genres & can’t get enough of it. if you learn anything interesting in your class (undoubtedly, you will!) feel free to share with me, that sounds like such a captivating subject! I love What We Do In the Shadows & actually just made my family watch it with me lol! some of my favorite horror movies are The Ritual (stellar monster movie - would highly recommend!), Creep (and Creep 2!! super low budget with a really interesting creation & filming process & it’s one of the few that Really Stuck with me when i was first getting into horror), and The Blackcoat’s Daughter (which i would love to rewatch & think abt a little more). some of my other favs that are more ‘’thrillers’ are Nightcrawler, Zodiac, and Prisoners (or… like jake gyllenhaal’s filmography lol). again, please feel free to share what u learn if u want to!! sounds so intriguing! hope u have a wonderful day

im on break recommend a movie to like papi
I mean...more specifics would be nice. I don’t know what you like or what you’re in the mood for but I’ve been continuously dissecting Bird Box in my mind since I saw it (honestly, it’s good but the more I think about it the more I find wrong in it. If you take it at face value it’s fine but it doesn’t stand the critical thinking test very well. I’d still watch it again if I had to lol) so I’m going to give you some good horror/monster movies that I enjoy.
1) Monsters (2010)
undefined
youtube
While I’m sharing this movie let me rant about this a little. This was Gareth Edward’s first feature. He had done nothing besides two short films before. Nothing. This had a budget of $500,000 which is basically pennies in film. He did all the VFX himself (sure...fucking commendable as hell because they look great) but he had no previous directing experience. This won a few awards but nothing major. It didn’t win Sundance or Cannes or any huge festival. It did incredibly well for a feature this size but it didn’t become a Moonlight for example. Gareth has directed three features to date. Do you want to know what the next two were? Godzilla and Rogue One. He went from half a million to 160 million to 265 million.
The only woman who has ever been given a movie with 100+ million budget has been Ava and she had to get into/win Sundance twice, be nominated for two Oscars with two separate films, get nominated for/win Emmys and Golden Globes, and every other film accolade possible on top of already being a successful showrunner AND being a fierce advocate for the lack of women in the director’s chair before she got A Wrinkle In Time. White straight crusty men can do anything and get handed a blockbuster studio feature and trust me it happens ALL THE TIME but women have to die and come back more times than Jesus to prove they can direct a measly 2 million dollar feature. It enrages me. That being said............Monsters is a solid monster movie. Don’t let the lack of creativity behind the title fool you. Okay, rant over lol.
2) Take Shelter (2011)
undefined
youtube
Not a straight monster movie and I wouldn’t classify it as horror either but it’s a fucking masterpiece of a psychological thriller.
3) Tesis (1996 - Spain)
undefined
youtube
It’s old and it’s in Spanish but at one point the Spaniards made some of the best cinema in Europe and that included horror/thrillers.
4) [REC] (2007 - Spain)
undefined
youtube
Speaking of good Spanish horror movies, I’ll also give you [REC]. The did a really fucking lame and Kidz Bop version remake of it starring Jennifer Carpenter the year after this came out and it was such a let down. What doesn’t Hollywood ruin? [REC] is so good and actually gory/scary in the best way. If you haven’t seen Quarantine and had the premise already ruined for you, I’d recommend this so much better.
5) The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015)
undefined
youtube
This is the movie that made me fall in love with Kiernan as an actress years ago and the moment I finished watching the movie I was like “Oh...okay. There’s Anya.” This is literally the only thing I had ever seen her in before Sabrina. I never watched Mad Men, and yes, I had seen her in Very Good Girls with Lizzie (which lol...I was just rewatching it for the CFAU thing I keep not finishing and it tripped me out so much because she’s maybe like twelve or something in the movie and it was just so weird to see them in the same universe) but I don’t count that because she wasn’t in it enough to give me a sense of her acting meaning this is the first thing I actually count. She’s so good in it though. This is a very subdued and quiet kind of horror/psychological thriller/possession movie but I think sometimes those are better than the in your face kind. There’s only ONE thing I don’t like about this movie and even though it’s a pretty big sticking point I can overlook it because everything else kind of balances out the scales.
