It’s almost a shame to smoke it. It’s like killing a unicorn… with, like, a bomb.

The only reason I ever rewatch the new IT movies is to watch Eddie Kaspbrak and Richie Tozier verbally spar and then fall in love.

If I had to describe “The Dark Pictures Anthology” as horror movie-isms:
1) Man of Medan is one of those shitty, early-to-mid 2000s horror movies that would be collecting dust on a Blockbuster shelf. Or, alternatively, a movie you’d watch after scrolling through Fearnet on a late Friday night.
2) Little Hope is a M. Night Shyamalan movie. But specifically, post-Signs Shyamalan where he’s starting to lose his touch (so…The Village).
3) House of Ashes is a Predator or Aliens prequel/sequel made several years later after the previous movie in order to redeem the franchise. Ashes was made because the director wanted to “bring the franchise back to its roots”.
4) The Devil in Me is a late-2000s, early-2010s movie that was made in order to cash in on the Saw/Hostel/torture porn movie hype.

James Wan and the Art of the Jump Scare
Because I don't enjoy the act of thinking very often, I tend to stay away from films that I really like so that I don't have to articulate why they're good, but today I'm parting from that habit to talk about James Wan and the art of the jump scare. James Wan directed the first two Insidious movies, the first two Conjuring films, and for some reason Aquaman. He is a big-budget horror icon of sorts. So how is it that his movies suck so much less than all of the other films in the horror franchises that he's been a part of?
He's perfected the "cheap" jump scare, that's how.
I make this sound like I'm a hater, but I am so serious. I generally like pop-horror - the straightforward stuff that comes out around Halloween and is somehow always branded as "the scariest movie ever made", but it's really just a lot of stuff that pops out at you or screams at you or is suddenly standing behind someone. I love the Exorcist franchise, I love the Conjuring movies (so much so that I have the first two on DVD despite disc drives being nearly obsolete), and I love Lights Out. Of course I love Robert Eggers, Ari Aster and the other "artsy" directors, but I like something that has good payoff for the scares that I don't have to worry about once it's done.
James Wan is one of my favourite directors in the realm of pop-horror. His ability to establish a good atmosphere in his films is amazing. His ability to be creative with the "expected" jump scares is even better. His unexpected jump scares (Darth Maul in Insidious, the witch in the tree in the first Conjuring) are so much fun. Between his ability to build tension, and in particular his ability to use close up shots of his actors for his desired effect is awesome.
Truly, I have so much love for James Wan's brand of horror. Every instalment in the Conjuring franchise since his departure has been pure garbage. I have yet to watch his newest horror Malignant, so I hope it lives up to my expectations.

Horror Blog Intro~~
Tumblr media
Welcome to my blog, horror fans! I decided to launch this blog in the hopes of connecting with other horror lovers and also to keep track of all the movies I watch. I watch anywhere from 2 to 5 horror movies a week and I thought it would be fun to start documenting some of them. I’m also a big horror reader and recommendations for either are always welcome! 🙂
Some of my favorite horror movies
Honestly, my favorite horror movies change daily. The collage above is just a good mix of sub-genres that I love and movies that I’ve seen a bunch of times.
Final Destination – the reason I’m afraid of being behind trucks that are hauling logs while driving
The Evil Dead – a pure classic
Parasite – this movie was just so unique and great storytelling
The Descent – one of the only movies that actually got me with a jump scare
Drag Me To Hell – such a fun movie; I recommend it to everyone
Ginger Snaps – coming-of-age horror movie that I came of age with
Midsommar – a horror movie in broad daylight? I’m obsessed!
Re-Animator – took me way too long to discover one of my favorite horror movies!
Scream – one of my favorite final girls of all time!!
Do we have any movies in common?
Have you seen any of the movies on my list? What did you think? Have any of these on your to-watch list? Leave a comment below!

The Shining by Stephen King
Tumblr media
The Shining could be called a figurehead for both the horror genre of literature as well as of all the books written by the author. My expectations were mounted high but weren't lived up to. Not to say the book is bad, but it is not as excellent as some of the reader audience makes it out to be either.
"Monsters are real. Ghosts are too. They live inside of us, and sometimes, they win."
The book is about Danny, a nine-year-old boy who has special psychotic powers with which he can glance into things other people cannot. This power multiplies and becomes more active when he has to move into the Overlook Hotel where his father has been appointed as the caretaker. The book shows the downward spiral of the family into insanity as the Hotel plays its spooky magic into each of them.
One thing I admire about this is that it is as much a psychological thriller as it is a horror novel. The scary and creepy aspects of the book were put together competently but the author, through his writing, projects a window into each of the character's minds, adding so much dimension to the book.
Sometimes, however, the book came across as listless and felt like it was written by a child. Horror is not my genre, which may affect the way I see the book, but if you want to get into this particular genre, I would. suggest this book as a starting point.
Rating:★★★(3/5)
