    While more creepy thriller than horror, Get Out was awesome. Such a vein seems to be where Hollywood is going these days, which I am okay with, since thrillers were dead for so long...and thrillers basically defined the 90's. I'd rather take a well-made, taut thriller than a shitty horror movie, and I've barely liked any horror films to come out of Hollywood in years, it's all indie and foreign-made films which excel in the genre.

    I second Get Out. Just watched it last night and absolutely loved it. I guess it is horror or thriller even, but it's definitely not a terrifying film that's going to scare you. There's a lot of humor tossed in there which takes away the scary aspect of it. That said though, it works really well together and don't let that deter you from watching it.

    It is no easy feat to make an audience feel unsettled while they're laughing at something hilarious.

    no easy for sure, but giving the most powerful thrills. My adored Pontypool is a classic example (let alone The Tenant et al.)

    I need to rewatch both of those. Pontypool is amazing. I still can't believe how hard my friend laughed at The Tenant. It was more of a dark comedy than anything else to me, but considering how affected my friend was when he brother committed suicide, hearing him cackle during the ending of The Tenant made the experience all the more surreal to me. Then you have my roommate, who saw Polanski put on a dress and lipstick and he left the room.

    Leatherface. Simply a terrible movie. It never should have been made, or at least, not this adaptation, story line, or director.

    Heather!!!

    a wonderful thing happened to me: I re-watched In the Mouth of Madness, and can't believe I was so reserved about it the first time. I remember you being surprised and saying "I was sure you would love it" - what I can't remember is why I did not perfectly love it that first time. Now I loved every moment of it (especially in that town, of course, but all the rest too); in addition to being really entertaining, very well made, genuinely creepy and at times even scary, it has a story that is original and interesting, which doesn't often happen to horror films these days. Tons of thanks again!!

    In The Mouth of Madness is an extremely underrated horror film. It would be depreciated in today's landscape of cheap jump scares. Like you said Jean, it's genuinely creepy and the sense of dread that permeates the entire film is awesome.

    Wish Upon. A bit repetitive story line when wishing is concerned with these types of movies. Not great, not bad, but forgotten. 4/10
    The Sound. Rose McGown. Story about an unbeliever in ghosts and goes down into a subway looking for a story. Nothing to write home about. 4/10

    The 100 Scariest Movies of All Time

    Why do we love being scared? It can’t be the way it makes our heart beat at rapid rates. Or how it keeps us up at night, leaving us to clutch our sheets as we stare at our half-open closets and listen for the faintest sounds down the hall. What the hell is it then? What gives us the oomph to spend 24 hours at vintage theaters for horror movie marathons? Why do we feel the need to sit down and watch John Carpenter’s Halloween for the 568th time every time October rolls around? It’s really odd.

    For some, it’s an emotional release. Watching masked murderers hunt down hapless idiots or seeing nuclear families flee from the fractured promise of the American dream is a spiritually cynical escape from our own problems. It’s a cleansing of sorts that filters out our own personal anxieties that stem from real-world problems. So, in effect, these 90-minute B-fests serve as a therapeutic experience that a) costs less than your average therapist and b) traditionally involves candy and/or beer.

    For others, it’s a nostalgic thing. Growing up throughout the ’80s and ’90s, and even throughout the ’00s to a certain extent, there was a mythology to the horror movie genre. What made you scared said so much about you as a person. Whether your skin crawled over the sight of gore or your spines tingled at the sound of a werewolf, it was your fear to cultivate, and you wore that fear as a badge of courage. It was something to talk about on the playgrounds and in the aisles of your local video shop.

    Today, that connection seems different, if only because everything has been sterilized by being parsed out through various streaming services. We seek out horror in different ways now, not through physical scouring but through mindless scrolling. It’s kind of the same, but it’s also not really the same — overall, it feels like something’s been missing from the experience. But, here’s the thing: Fear will always find us, no matter what changes, and this list is definitive proof of that notion.

    Because no matter the time nor the medium, these films will scare you.

    The Devil's Candy 2015. I actually enjoyed this movie. Acting was good, nice story, but a little too short. It is about an artist that seems to be channeling the thoughts of a disturbed killer who's parents used to live in the house the artist and his family bought. Overall I liked it.

    Last post was 11-17, is the horror genre dead people?!
    Insidious The Last Key. Everything you felt would happen; did. The attempted humor was awful, the story was bland, and the movie I forgot what happened. I saw it a while ago and I figured I would mention it in passing. 5/10

    Pyewacket 2017. Story of a girl that moved with her mother and she despises the move and attempts to summon a demon to kill her mother. I love the atmosphere (I miss the changing seasons and hope one day soon I will move back home), the actors did great job in this flick and I was impressed. A slow moving film, but something I was glad I found. 7/10

    Devil's Gate. A different movie which was interesting, but an odd movie. Sometimes the acting felt fine and sometimes it felt forced. Wasn't for me. 4/10

    The Strangers: Prey at Night. I saw the first one, and felt this was exactly the same film, just a couple years later. I almost couldn't get through it. 4/10
