I don't mind when they are done well, and with Evil you cant really fault the make-up or effects as one plus. Modern horror really suffers from a lack of creative deveolpment. So many films - and this one included get to a point where they just revert to becoming tired old tropes. Films like Smile and Barbarian for example - You get invested in the them until they just run out of puff halfway through and wrap them up with a tired, boring ending with characters doing the dumbest things possible.

I do agree with you - but Barbarian was one of my favourite modern horror films

Evil Dead Rise

Nothing to do with the series really (finding the book doesn't really constitute a link) - I thought this was entertaining, bloody and visceral modern horror

No Ash no party for me with Evil Dead.

Evil Dead Rise.

Similar to the Evil Dead remake from 2013. Well made, well shot horror with lots of squishy gore, but no entertaining story or characters.

Evil Dead 2 worked so well because it was innovative, and had a great comedic tone running through it. The latest reboots/sequels are pretty dull. But they’re probably quite cheap to make and will turn a profit.

I didn't love it - but I just think that my standards towards modern horror films have been eroded to such a low level nowadays. To me, Blumhouse has completely destroyed modern horror - turning it back into a rubbish, jump scare genre instead of generating the creeping dread that the best horrors instill into the viewer

For every The Witch, It Follows or Saint Maud there are a dozen Insidious or Annabelle clones

Think the 3 good ones you’ve listed there aren’t Blumhouse. The Witch is A24 and think Saint Maud is Film4.

Blumhouse has some good ones in there - Get Out, The Black Phone, M3gan, Hush (which is a great little underrated home invasion movie), but there’s a lot of trash they put out as well.

Sorry - I know that the 3 good ones aren't Blumhouse - was just using a few good examples to compare against their crappy output!

You're right about Get Out - but Megan and The Black Phone were trash I thought (I was really looking forward to the latter but was really underwhelmed)

Fair dues. I thought M3gan was fine. A Child’s play remake basically but decent enough. I really liked The Black Phone, but horses for courses eh.

Oh definitely - horror is the weirdest genre because everybody's fears are so niche

I still hark back to the first wave of Asian horror - that stuff was right up my alley

Ad Astra ... good cinematography but a 5 minute plot stretched into over 2 hours with unnecessary uninteresting mumbling emotion/psychiatric based dialogue as is the modern way.

Worth avoiding if you value living.

Event Horizon with A Levels.

Evil Dead Rose..Really enjoyed it

Watched Tetris last night. An enjoyable watch imo

Still: A Michael J Fox Movie.

Really great. Funny, moving, heartwarming. Seems like one of life’s good guys.

One word to describe this - nuts !

A lone Finnish special forces soldier, takes on the Nazis.

Off the scale violent and great fun.

It’s much like a Finnish Tarantino.

Cocaine Bear

Not through choice may I add. Honestly don’t know where to begin, this film is so bad it’s good..but still somehow bad … proper head twister

 

[Swartzy]

And what a Surprise was waiting for me, would of never guessed Horror - Horror - Horror and, oh yeah 'A Bear on Coke' but I'll let him off after hunting through this thread..
