Im currently reading Tomie,

NICE!!! You have to look up the Tomie movies and short films... as well as other Junji Ito compilations. You can find them on Amazon and Netflix.

The only movie which truly fucked up my day was A Serbian Film. Don't. Just... don't.

Antichrist with Willem Dafoe was pretty fucking wild.

Antichrist was certainly good for its originality. Serbian Fim was well overrated, and grasped desperately at shock value alone.

I am jaded by all horror movies now after being on this site.

Fantasy splatter fests, with predictable storylines just don't cut it anymore when compared to the real thing.

I 100% agree with you when it comes to body horror, like blood and guts horror. I absolutely agree that's played out there is nothing to be even scared of with those movies. The horror movies that I find disturbing are the atmospheric horror ones. The ones that have aspects that are unsettling at a level that you're not even sure what's bothering you you just know that there's something very wrong. It's the subsurface horror, the abstract horror. I've been well over the blood and guts horror for quite some time. I go for things that mess with your psyche...like Hereditary. The ones that are deeply unsettling and creep you out.

Hereditary, in my opinion, is far and away the best atmospheric horror I have seen.

The Witch, and Lake Mungo are very good too.

You just won a boatload of brownie points with me! Too many people think "horror movie" means blood and guts. True horror transcends the blood and guts and creates an atmosphere that settles cold and deep into your bones and makes you want to turn all the lights on in the house😁.

I would love to see Ari Aster do a prequel to Hereditary, exploring the Ellen and Joan story and the history of the coven. There are so many unanswered questions in this movie.

I loved Blair Witch too, and most of the Paranormal Activity franchise.

Hey Goregrish Fam! (Yes I said it). So...this is going to be a somewhat long post, I apologize in advance.

As I've mentioned before... I'm new here to GG. I've had some time to think tonight... after my redneck neighbors we're done setting off their M80s... and I decided that I wanted to make this post.

Somebody asked me recently what brought me to this site. I have gone through all the other Gore sites and I settled on this one. I really like the interactive atmosphere of this site. And before any of you cyber lynch me just hear me out 🤣.

I would like to start a thread on horror movies and horror cinema in general. I think many of us are here because we seek stimulation. Many of us who have been through things in our life whether it's childhood trauma, combat trauma, or ADD /ADHD... or all of the above ( as with me being a Marine Corps veteran).. it takes a little bit extra for us to feel something.

We've become accustomed to being numb to so much that it takes a site like this to make us feel something. And that's okay! But I think that there's a correlation between the content on this site and a love for horror movies! So I'd like to open up a discussion regarding horror movies. Many of you might be rolling your eyes right now and that's fine! But I thought I would take a chance and make this post.

The subject of the discussion is Horror Movies... The good, the bad, and the utterly disturbing. I am a dyed in the wool cinephile (a person with a passionate interest in cinema, film theory, and film criticism).

I absolutely adore horror movies. I think the love of horror movies falls right in line with the love of Gore. So I will put this question to you..my fellow movie fans; what are some of the horror movies that you either love, hate, or will never watch again because of how viscerally disturbing they were.. or just your thoughts on horror movies that fall here there and everywhere in between the aforementioned topics.

Like I said, many of you will read this and want to proverbially stone me to death because of how long this post is, or because you might find it mundane/gay compared to general Gore subject matter. I get it ...and if you want to say something mean/punishing as a result of it then that's okay I welcome it...come at me GG😆.

But I'm not scared of taking a chance and going out on a limb. I like this site and I wanted to do something to participate more actively. I'll post a follow-up question as a start to a horror movie centric discussion

I will add just a little PSA... and I know this is going to make me sound super old ...but that's okay. Many of us have become so accustomed to watching TV and movies while simultaneously scrolling on our phones and while much of the time it's not an issue, there are certain times where it actually detracts from the full experience of the movie or show that you're watching.

Like, when I'm watching repeat shows or movies that I put on as like a comforting security blanket to play in the background, then I'm totally also scrolling on my phone and doing other stuff. But if I'm putting on a brand new movie, I do not look at my phone because it completely detracts from the total experience of the movie.

There are so many people these days that do not fully experience movies because they are multitasking doing other things on their phone while splitting their attention with the movie. And while you might be able to get some experience of the movie doing that, you do not get the total experience.

So... as an elder🤣... I would advise all those that watch movies while scrolling on their phones to put your phone down ( if you're watching a brand new movie for the very first time)... as hard as it is, and focus on the movie so that you fully experience what it has to offer🥰

And I completely agree re Blair Witch...it is the OG of found footage movies. And speaking as somebody who has watched countless found footage movies, I can 100% state that The Blair Witch is the all-time... hands down ...best found footage movie. Every other one after it tried to do too much and removed the magical aspect that made it feel like a "real person recording".

There were so many found footage movies that came after and while some of them were good none of them captured the true realistic feel of The Blair Witch... where you actually felt like you were watching a group of kids that went off on their own and filmed something completely ad hoc.

It is, and will always be, my favorite found footage movie of all time.❤️

its more of a dare really

Ring ( japanese ) : Perfect !! Ring 0 and 2 : Bullshit waste of time !! Of course masterpiece " The texas chainsaw massacre " !! I also like a lot old movies of Wes Craven ...

The most nerve wracking and scary movie I’ve seen is The Big Short.

 

[the stick]

Dagon was very creepy to me.

So I'll start by mentioning two movies.

1. Cannibal Holocaust - I will not be watching this again. Not because of rhe murder and mayhem to humans, but because of the animals that were actually killed during the filming. I can watch people being killed all day long but I'm a big sissy when it comes to animals being killed and this is one of the only movies that I've watched were they actually kill animals in the filming of it.

2. Skinnamarink - I think I would watch this again but it was so deeply unsettling and terrifying on a whole different level. People either hate it or love it but this is one of those movies where to really experience it truly you have to put your phone down and be fully immersed in it with all the lights off and it will take you back to a place when you were 5 years old in your room in the dark or trying to find your way down a dark hallway to the bathroom and seeing things in the dark that you swear were actually there. It evokes such a visceral childlike terror. It's exhilarating but also terrifying. But to truly experience it you have to be fully present not looking at your phone and you have to watch it at night with the lights off and the volume up to here all of the ambient sounds that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

I have the newly remastered version of no. 1. Fucking awesome. Awesome date night movie for a certain type of girl. That would be Lynn, in my case.
I haven't seen the second, checking for it now, thanks. CH was banned for the entire analog era for those scenes you mentioned.

Recently saw Weapons. Great fucking horror film, a new twist on witchcraft.


Coherence was a great movie, but it really deserved a better cast and a larger budget. The premise and mindfuckery compensated for the latter.




Not quite horror in the traditional sense, but the ending paid off. The Wave:



And here's another film with Justin Long in it that turned out better than I thought it would.

Hey! I love the paranormal movies also! The Shining for sure is a classic! I've lost count of how many times I've watched it.

Yes, I am a female. But alas...I will not be posting any nudes. 😆🤣

Weapons is definitely on my list to watch!

And I agree regarding the budget for coherence but I absolutely love it! It definitely comes off kind of like a B Movie feel but I actually was pretty impressed. It kind of reminded me of The Endless...just the feel of it.

And OH my GOD ....I love LOVE Tusk!! Just because of how fucking bizarre and twisted it is...that's my jam😁
