Fave Horror Films 💀

  Holy shit.  I need to see that.  I just watched Terrifier for the first time.  Torture porn.  Gruesome.  I heard Terrifier 2 is more violent.  Not sure if that's possible.  I'll find out soon enough.

@ShayP I watched Terrifier and Terrifier 2 thanks to your post. Fantastic throwback slasher flicks. For movies that apparently cost only a couple hundred thousand bucks to make, they look like big budget horror. Fantastic technical work. Great soundtrack too.

Hey. @bateman  Hell yeah.  Definitely fantastic throwback slasher flicks.  Just as I was about to see Terrifier 2 and it was not in any theaters in my area.  I waited too long.  My loss.  I'll just rent it.

The budget for Terrifier was $35,000.  Think about that!  The gore effects were remarkable.  The guy that played Art The Clown.  Wow.  The mannerisms, etc.  As far as horror icons go, to me, he is in the top 5.  If he moves on from the genre he probably will have a nice career.  If he stays in it, then he may go far.

By the way, there is a Terrifier 3 in the works. 

I've been revisiting some old stuff like Last House On The Left and I Spit on Your Grave.  The remake of LHOTL was really good.    Now that the rights to Friday the 13th were finally given back to the original creator, I'm curious to see the next reboot.  Whenever that happens.

Check out Fandango, there may be additional theaters in your area that have it. If not, get the Screambox trial on Amazon Prime and cancel it within 7 days to watch it for free. It's better than the first; reminded me a lot of the original Scream and Halloween.

Holy shit, I had no idea the first one was that cheap. Apparently the director designed the gore effects himself. And yes, the guy who played Art is beyond unnerving. Completely agree with everything you said.

Also, the new Hellraiser is a pile of shit. Barbarian, same.

Nothing close to me.  I'll give Screambox a shot.  Thanks for the tip.  I was surprised that Terrifier was made on the cheap.  Part 2 was $250,000 (I think).  I'm glad the sequels may be split.  2 1/2 hours for a movie like that sort of takes away the thrill of it all.  Make it 90 minutes and the fans will want more.

I looked into both when they were rolled out and I just thought "Nah. I'll pass."

I watched 'Smile' and 'Nope' over the last two days.  I'll never get that time back.  'Smile' had potential, but was just plain bad.  I liked the Jordan Peele movies, 'Get Out' and 'Us.'  However 'Nope' was abysmal.  I was so bored.  The movie was dull, to say the least, and quite frankly is now on my list of one of the worst movies of all time.  Everyone has their own interpretation and opinion but you could not pay me to watch that again. "Hey ShayP!  Come on over and we'll watch Nope.  As a bonus I'll give you my brand new Chevy Silverado.  I paid cash for it!  What do ya say?" NOPE

Watched Leaving DC recently. Low budget afair but it started out pretty decent.  Then...pfffft. Nothing. Kind of a time sync.

Thanks for that, Shay. I was thinking about seeing “Smile.” Nope.

After all the discussion about the Terrifier in HERE, I was surprised to see it recommended to me on Tubi or Prime. I put some effort into it, I tried, but it's soooo poorly made and the "acting" is the only terrifying thing about the movie. Welfare clown with an attitude supposed to scare me?  C'mon you guys, it's horrible.

I go into any horror movie with low expectations. I've been burned so many times by some "new horror masterpiece" that supposedly comes out every other year. The Terrifier movies are simple, effective slasher flicks, incredibly well made for the low budgets. You didn't like the acting? Vapid 20 year old girls sound exactly like the girls in that movie.

Oh, what the hell. I’ll check it out. A late Halloween flick movie for me. Besides, who can’t get enough of airhead chicks.

Don't go into it expecting a masterpiece. But it's infinitely better than any of those stupid movies about a haunted doll.

*sigh*  Does anything please you...aside from being a rock star sex machine?  Jeez!  You know you were curled up on the couch, clutching a pillow, and hoping that you wouldn't have nightmares.  Plus you masturbated twice to those sluts.

Exactly.  It's not like I'd go to see Cannibal Holocaust and think it may be up there with Citizen Kane, which I think is highly overrated by the way.  But that's another topic.

You go in with low expectations and let the tide rise.  The anticipation.  More often that not one is disappointed.  However, there are films where you leave thinking "Holy shit what did I just watch", or just having your mind blown.  And sometimes feeling dirty and uneasy.
