Chills, Thrills and Spills: A Horror Thread

I just finished watching a movie on Netflix called The Silenced, and it was not at all what I expected.

Spoiler: The Silenced

it takes place in this school/sanitarium with all girl students. The main character Shizuko is sent there because of her tb. I thought this was going to be a ghost girl story but it turns out the headmistress is experimenting on the girls to figure out how to create super soldiers? The girls start showing side effects like bouts of rage/seizures/super strength and lack of response to pain. Shizuko and her friend figure out what's going on and they try to get away but are caught. Her friend is killed and she goes on a murderous rampage before being shot by the headmistress. She kills the headmistress and then I guess lays down to die with her friend. I'm not sure what the deal with the last scene is, maybe a dying dream?

I recommend it, I thought it was good. There's some medical stuff like needles. There's also blood and some body horror.

 

oh oh oh i just got done watching the silenced!!!!!! it was really good but left me miserably sad

not st all what i expected, but very good nevertheless

 

Sorry if this has been posted already, didn't feel like poking through 25 pages, OTL nice little short film with a super neat animation style

 

Oh man i love that film its a+ GOOD. I love finding peoples short films and projects on youtube, theres so many good ones

 

I'm getting drunk to nostalgia movies on Netflix.

Did you guys know I had my first kiss in front of Jeepers Creepers? It's still a very solid film XD

 

I dont remember posting these here before and kinda forgot this thread existed when i posted them in the post apoc thread. aside from the first one most of these probably count as horror, and theyre very good:

 

Also since it's halloween week, like every year weve been watching the classics around here. My fam and me are more into sci fi so ofc its gotta be the thing, alien and all its sequels, with a little bit of ghosties in the paranormal activities. Mostly we just laugh at the majority of the latter and appreciate the story

 

yes good
v good

 

is
is that Salad Fingers

 

Happy Halloween guys! I have off today, so I'm going to be watching horror movies all day.
Here's my lineup:
It Follows
The Conjuring
10 Cloverfield Lane
Dead silence
???
maybe one more randomly picked from netflix if I have time, and capped off with ghostbusters or hocus pocus.
I don't want to spam this thread with replies so I'll try to keep my thoughts all in one post.

 

Spoiler: It follows

wow that started off strong. This movie is really pretty. Is that supposed to be a cell phone? It looks like a makeup compact. I'm guessing the girl in the yellow dress is a ghost or something haunting this guy.

That's as far as I got because xbone is telling me it can't play that disc. Now I'm wondering if I'll even be able to watch the other dvds I bought. Maybe I should just stick to Netflix.

Edit: none of my dvds worked so I'm going straight to Dead Silence.

Spoiler: Dead silence

i hate creepy dolls so this will be fun/sarcasm. Wow, wonder who the artist is for those drawings. It's so creepy why??!! They should just burn that thing, I know I would. Oh shit the sound is gone, that's creepier than the music. Well that was fast. I love creepy old ladies there should be more of them in movies.

Is he even allowed to be in here? Also wouldn't the fact he was out getting dinner give him an alibi? Nice house nice car, not so nice dad. What happened to his mom then?

Oh here she comes! Shove your hand in your mouth Jamie! I wonder if the people of this town have to train themselves not to scream when frightened. Marion knows what's up. Has she met Mary Shaw then?

Better follow her advice Jamie and bury billy. That grave wasn't even hidden that well. You can't expect me to believe nobody noticed that was there. She's so creepy I love it! The noises she makes are great!

Did he seriously dig up billy. Don't see why the detective did that. Also why is he constantly shaving? Yeah detective you take what's obviously a haunted object this will totally not end in your death.

Oh funeral guy knows what's up too. Story time! Uh oh! Did she seriously decide to haunt a town and murder people because a kid heckled her? She should meet the tooth fairy from darkness falls. Getting heckled doesn't compare to being murdered by being burned alive.

Over 100 dolls is too much. Even one doll is too much. Mary Shaw is an outlier adn shouldn't have counted. This detective has clearly never seen a horror movie.

That's some good scenery gorn. What's he hoping to find in an abandoned theatre? Surprised the book is still intact. I hope nothing happens to the nice old couple. Oh no.

Oh never mind she was murdered after all. That gives the tooth fairy and Mary Shaw more to talk about. It's impossible for the detective to have dug up all 100 of those coffins. "I don't have a full tank of gas!" Is the best line of the movie lmao.

It's just like what happened with your wife Jamie, don't fall for that again. "If you say I told you so I'll shoot you." I love this detective. Not looking forward to seeing what's happened to poor Henry's dead body. I hope she didn't do the same to Marion.

Well we know what happened to the missing boy. Oh that's too much, i hate them. Don't scream detective I'm starting to like you. Interesting that she only can kill you if you scream. Are those rules she chooses to follow, or can she literally not kill you if you don't scream. Goodbye detective. :(

So you can cut off your scream and she won't attack. Also the scream has to go on for a certain amount of time before she'll kill you. Why would his dad take it? How did he know where it was? He can't possibly think he can take on Mary Shaw by himself unless he gets Ella to help him?

Was that really the last doll, how do we know she secretly didn't have another hidden? OH SHIT! They were both dolls are you kidding me?! How! If he was dead the whole time wouldn't he have smelled?!

This movie was a little ridiculous but I liked it. Mary Shaw is scary, but the dolls were scarier. There's blood and body horror.

Spoiler: The hallow

so this guy moves his family out to a forested area in Ireland for a job and his neighbors don't like it. According to the synopsis the forest is filled with demons. Will this be like evil dead, with evil trees? There's metal bars all over the windows of the house what's that for?

Not even 5 minutes in and the dog ran off and found a spooky rundown house. Wtf is that a dead deer?! Covered in black goop, that's some Splinter looking shit. Are there going to be necromorphs or something?! He took a sample.

He's checking the sample and it did a weird thing. Some kind of infection? Cordyceps fungi ant pic, so it's fungi then. Not necromorphs but clickers. This movie started stronger than It follows. The fungi is growing all over their attic! I'm guessing the demons are fungi controlled animals.

He's explaining cordyceps to his wife over dinner prep, that's so romantic. Someone tried to break in where the baby was sleeping upstairs. They should put the bars back up. This cop looks familiar. Not demons but fairies, that's fine. The neighbors daughter was taken by fairies possibly.

He got a picture of something humanoid. Don't think you should touch your dog when it's growling. Now he's hearing a baby crying from the shed by his house? Can these things imitate sounds?

The black fungi goop got into the baby blankets. Time to go shopping with baby. Creepy neighbor colm is in the house to drop off a book. Don't these two lock their doors? Something wrong with the car and it's getting close to night. The weird black goop is in the car now.

Something is moving in the woods and locked him in the trunk. Now it's totally dark and something's trying to break into his car for his baby. He has to run home with the baby now, that's terrifying.

Time to get the gun out and call the cops again. There light went out and the "fairies" are inside. He's talking to them like they're human. Nothing that makes those kinds of noises is human c'mon now. Don't leave the room! How could you think that was colm.

Big ol' book of fairies. They're going to try and leave. That escalated quickly, the dogs been attacked and infected. Now the dogs dead. The weird goop has covered everything under the hood of the car. Surrounded by fairies! They drove the car into a ditch, they're surrounded by monsters, and they have no way to fight them.

The husband got goop shot into his eye so now he's infected. The cgi isn't bad, the monsters actually look creepy. They can't stand light so he's going to try to start generator. She's in the attic where there's fungi everywhere. These monsters are smart damn. Filling the generator with black goop. Now she's having to hold them off. Oh that's some nice body horror. Super close to her eye.

Damn his eye looks super gross. The iron burned him so now they're putting it back up. Hiding the baby in a dark closet might not help. Might be better to keep him between you in the light. There's a lot of stuff in that fairy book.

They took the baby! They're crawling around inside the house and the entire inside of the house is covered in the fungi. She's got the baby back, maybe? But her husbands super infected now.

No, baby is a changeling. Can't kill it though. Wow can't believe she stabbed him. Now his voice is changing too. I like the way it switches between normal and infected. The fungus is pushing through his skin ugh.

Flaming scythe he'll yeah! Time to get back your real son. I'm surprised he hasn't caught the forest on fire with that scythe. Found their hideout. What do these guys eat and how long do they live? They look super thin.

Cora's the least deformed, probably because she hasn't been there as long. She still walks upright. Wonder how long a full transformation takes? She's screwed all she's got is a camera.

He brought her the real baby back. Do they just replace members when they die with other peoples kids? Well he's dead, how will she leave with her baby without him? The sun is rising she might actually make it. How did they even make the changeling? Did it use to be a real baby or is it pure fungus in the shape of one?

There's more fungus in the house now.
What's she going to tell her husbands boss? How's she going to get anywhere without a car. Those trees are still getting chopped down though. I guess as long as the work in the day it's fine. But what if the logs that have fungus on them end up as part of someone's house? Would it grow and eventually infect others?

This movie was pretty good I thought. There's some blood/gore along with animal death and body horror.

The wickerman remake with nic cage is on here. Lmao I want to watch it. I'm not going to do a spoiler tag for this one because we all know the important bits already. Kicking old ladies, screaming, and bees.

 

The Hallow is 1000% more frustrating if you have irish relatives who live in ireland and still cross their lintels with iron and salt in some places. HOLY SHIT EVEN IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN A SUPERSTITION AT LEAST TRY TO HOLD TO IT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE ALREADY GOT REASONS THE LOCALS DON'T LIKE YOU. (I was banging my head against the wall for like the first half of the film. At least they got their shit together in the last half, but seriously - even if cordyceps-driven monsters isn't quite the proper depiction of the Fair Ones, they ran by the same rules, and fucking hell.... )

 

Has anyone seen I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in This House? Someone I follow on twitter says it's really good. Think I'll watch it after dinner.

A nervous nurse who scares easily finds herself caring for an ailing horror novelist while living in a house filled with hidden secrets.

I just had a whole thing written about it, but there was a security problem so it's gone now. There's some body horror and jump scares in the movie. It's good I recommend it.

 

I couldn't get into The Hallow because I was YELLING AT IDIOTS the ENTIRE TIME and EVERYONE IS AN ASSHOLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Shame about It Follows, it's a really good movie IMO

 

Fuck yes I found it veeeery interesting. Very nice flick, tho we nearly bolted when we got wind of potential cordyceps.

I am Not About That Life ( Of Fungus Zombies )

 

Man at that point we just yell "idiots" and wait to see what horrible things are going to happen to the people in it >:3

 

Has everyone here read Instruction For a Help? I found it... very compelling.

 

NO

Edit: wow, embarrassing, wrong vid.. gimme a sec
