An excellent channel for Soviet films here, perfect quality

Have you seen 'It Follows'?

Give that a go... Pretty decent.

Was not a fan of that as the fundamental premise makes no sense. Walk a bit faster and you’re fine. Least intimidating stalker ever.

For me, it was more the suspense.

Just the thought that at any given moment there is a demon out there walking towards your direction.
It could be anywhere and no matter where you run to or escape to, it knows where you are and it's only purpose is to find you.

You'd be looking over your shoulder every second! You'd go bonkers.

I know what you mean but there were so many situations were there wasn’t suspense because they could have literally just walked faster. I saw it a long time ago so maybe be I’m being harsh but I remember that being my main memory of it.

I love this type of horror film but I do often feel so let down by the reveal. @joe1878 mentioned Jeepers Creepers earlier but I think a new one. The original had such a good set up and then the reveal just left me laughing

Not seen it for a while, but wasn't the stalker in It Follows just meant to be symbolic for STI's?

'Mechanic : Resurrection', so bad I think I need an oil change. Woeful, avoid.

Did it at least have Jason Statham from the original?

Unlike The Transporter... By the 3rd sequel they got some dodgy C grade actor to play the part. There are some things that even Jason won't do!

I noticed that I put Buried twice...
I didn't put it twice because it's so amazing that you have to watch it again! It's a typo, lol. lol

Discussed this before, but can't stress how much of an impact it made on me when I first saw it about twenty years ago. I revisit it every now and then, something compels me to watch it.

It's the most powerful piece of cinema I've ever experienced.

These are the ones from that list that I've seen. 28 Days Later is one of my all time favourites. Will check out some of the others you listed.

In no particular order here are some of the (relatively) recent ones I've enjoyed. Nothing you won't have heard of or seen I imagine given they are mostly well known.

A Quiet Place 1&2
Let the Right One In
Get Out
Cabin in the Woods
Train to Busan
It Comes at Night

 

[Abertonian]

Emily the Criminal, pretty decent Aubrey Plaza good as always.

 

[dholliday]

Tony Shaloub and Antonio Salieri aka F. Murray Abrahams...

I'll never forgot watching it at the drive-in with all my mates when I was younger.

Bunch of naughty little stoners! But it was awesome!



The next 1970's movie and re-make that needs comparison:

70's versions are always better.

the ammie one is 3/10 pants...jap one recently arrived on dvd.

As Above, So Below

7/10...silly but fun.

Pyewacket
The Autopsy of Jane Doe

not heard of these...on the watchlist they go!

The Taking of Deborah Logan

9/10...superlative. one of the very best.

Hell Fest
The Forest
Drag Me To Hell

not heard of these either.

Don't Breathe

3/10...substandard and annoying. I might be getting this mixed up, i'm talking about the Emily Blunt don't-make-a-sound movie. Seems there was a raft of these doing the rounds.

Ready or Not
Daniel Isnt Real
Coherence

holy hell, more to check out.

Buried

7/10...good tense flick considering the lack of...er...variety in the locations lol

Body Cam
13 Sins

moar to check!

28 Days Later

4/10 forgettable fare, the sequel is even worse.



Here are my 9/10's horror:

The Taking of Deborah Logan (great use of tension, plus Oscar-worthy main actress).

REC 1 & 2 (best zombie films ever...set in Barcelona. Forget about 3 & 4).

Paranormal Activity (the only film where i genuinely felt a little scared...2 & 3 also worth a look...thereafter not so much).

Bram Stoker's Dracula (high-end art...almost a 10 but dodgy-casting of Keanu Reeves).

Kontroll (excellent Hungarian movie from the 2000's...less a horror film, but quirky-dark & trippy).

Alien (obviously...Aliens is overrated, the rest are meh).

Pi (not really a horror, but plays like one of those early Lynch efforts).

Interview with a Vampire (i realise in this mandela-effected universe it's now called Interview with the Vampire, but that just sounds wrong. Next you'll be telling me that sassy NY chickshow isn't called Sex in the City).

Open Water (the most tense water film ever made, edging out even Jaws.

Jaws (this is still a 9, tho').

Terminator (proper sci-fi action-horror...still tense as hell. The gungho yet lighter T2, like Aliens, is a little overrated).

Gremlins (still massive fun! me and her indoors keep debating when our lad should be allowed to watch. I reckon 8 or 10, she's more like no, 14 or 15! lol

Altered States (only horror-ish...amazing psychedelic flick).

The Omen & The Exorcist (the originals...dark as hell, fun back-to-back watch!)




As ever...the non-english films have to be watched in original language so you get the proper dramatisation of the original script & performances, and the fitting audio-mix. They're not dialogue-heavy so fine with subs.

Lol, I had to put one zombie movie on there! I should have gone with the original Dawn of the Dead! lol

That's an awesome list! Watched the exorcist with my best mate when we were youngsters!

To this day, we still occasionally greet each by saying: Do you know what she did? Your c*nting daughter?!?

Enjoy mate... There are so many more that I watched over the years but can't remember the names. I'll take a trip down memory lane and see if I can conjure up some more ones.
