just finished watching! i absolutely loved the sfx, they were incredible. i was a bit shocked at how the previous battles with the thing were more riveting than the final one
@clitoris “best”? Pan’s Labyrinth. There is some genuine storytelling and art mixed in with the horror. Most SFX blood and porridge? Evil Dead. It’s not really my favourite genre.
I really recommend The Wailing (2016), a unique Korean horror that stayed in my thoughts for quite some time.
Alongside that, also check out The Innocents (1961) for some vintage horror, and I see Babadook (2014) hasn't been mentioned yet, that one is also a favourite of mine.
I watched 1 & 2 recently and was impressed by the sfx in it, it was cool. I didnt really enjoy #2 as much as #1, it felt super silly, especially how Pinhead immediately switched gears at the word human lol.
@clitoris Not the best, but a very good and unique horror film is Society from 1989. There is one caveat with this movie: you have to watch it completely cold. Don't read anything about it, don't watch any trailers, don't look at any posters or stills. Trust me on this one.
I liked Serpent and the Rainbow (and recommended it to someone on lemmy) and also liked The Skeleton Key. I have not heard of The Believers. I have to check it out just from your recommendations.
Also seeing it made by the director who made Midnight Cowboy and Marathon Man has got me intrigued.
