📽️ What's a horror movie that you feel is so: striking, unique, disturbing, profound, &/or beautiful that it transcends to the level of ART?
(Not for just a scene, or moments, or even a performance, but for the ENTIRE film.)

Four that immediately occurred to me:

The Shining
The Devils
The Wolf House
There Will Be Blood

I can think of more but I'm curious what YOU all think...

I have to go eat & do stuff but I'll be back on later to see what you all said!

Stole this image from someone who stole this image, and I'm stealing the question, too:

WHAT FILM MADE YOU GO 'WTF DID I JUST WATCH'?

Off the top of my head:

Mother! definitely. Also Society, The Outwaters, Final Prayer (aka The Borderlands), Dead Alive (aka Brain Dead), Skinamarink, The Human Centipede, Infinity Pool, Antichrist, Hausu, Secretary. And I love them all.

What about you?

I found out Tár is on Prime and even though I am VERY excited to watch it, tonight's entertainment will be of a different sort. 🍿📺

I expect ridiculous aplenty- hopefully it's of the imminently watchable variety vs the painfully so. Honestly, with Cage, all bets are off.

Who's seen it & (without spoilers) what did you think? I'll be back to comment/compare notes once I've watched it.

Did anyone else see this? 👀

TL;DR: #Shudder will be getting an ad- supported tier. If they offer this as a cheaper alternative, ok, but if #AMC+ eventually pushes this on current subscribers unless they pay more a la #Amazon, I'm out.

We already have an ad supported horror channel; it's called #TUBI.

Well, we watched it. It was... a movie.

I'm not sure how you take well-written, previously existing material for a compelling prequel, cast a bunch of really talented people, and still wind up with a milquetoast, totally forgettable movie- but somebody did, so I guess... Good job. It wasn't even BAD- just utterly unremarkable.

Also, the lack of Maine accents (in general, but for JUDD CRANDALL, of all people) was irritating.

We watched THE INNOCENTS (2021) last night and while I thought it was a solid horror film, I am somewhat bewildered at the 97% on RT. I'd give it a 90% - it was a unique premise, certainly full of horror, and the kids were great in it. But it wasn't a near masterpiece.

(Note that the horror contains some truly appalling animal death, so don't watch it if that's going to traumatize you.)

ALL YOU NEED IS DEATH is a folk horror movie of Atmosphere. If you expect everything presented/explained neatly, you may be frustrated- but there IS a logic here, of murder ballads & fairy tales. If you want a well crafted, creepy, unique film about the enigma & power of songs, you'll dig its vibe.

Ooh, this premieres Hall🎃ween Eve (Devil's Night!) on #Shudder... I still have to see the last one but the first one is GREAT and the second was surprisingly good, too!

Also, they say this is a standalone movie so you don't have to see the others! "This is not a part 4 or a prequel," says director Stephen Cognetti.

My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror #books far & wide.

Upon finishing NORTH AMERICAN LAKE MONSTERS I sat, quietly devastated by the elegant, bleak prose that spooled out stories of souls broken by fate, circumstance, tragedy, &/or the random cruelties of others. Beautiful, savage, resonant. A "must-read" collection.

Have had weird, severe stomach pain since 1pm yesterday without it dissipating (or getting worse, at least.)
It feels like I pulled every muscle on my right side and back, combined with this gnawing/burning feeling. My pain tolerance is pretty high but I'm going to the doctor in case it's gallstones or appendicitis. Yay.
Hope you have a better morning than I am.

Started watching this last night after hearing nothing but good things. I didn't know what I expected the show to be about (I knew nothing), but it wasn't THAT. Definitely intrigued.

We're only watching ONE episode a night, and have only watched the FIRST ONE so don't spoil anything for me if you weigh in!

Yep ⬇️ 🤘🏼

"...And as for the “all time classic dialogue” that was “butchered” and “misappropriated” by López, Pizzolatto’s admirers seem to have forgotten that much of Rust Cohle’s dialogue in season 1 was borrowed from #horror author #ThomasLigotti"

(borrowed is a nice way to put it)

I think I may be addicted to wigs now. It's so much easier than going and getting my hair bleached, dyed, etc.

Today is for MAKING ART and then later, a movie or Six Feet Under.

What're your plans for today, horror peeps & assorted weirdos (complimentary)?

PEOPLE WITH SHUDDER:
Do you subscribe directly or through an add-on via AMC+, Prime, etc?

If through an add-on, do you get the live Shudder channel, and in your experience, is there stuff you haven't been able to see/view re: content? I have heard different things so am curious to hear from people directly.

They really need to fix whatever glitch is constantly unfollowing me from @horror & @horrorbooks

I'm literally one of the most prolific posters at both places, trying to promote all kinds of #horror and it's so frustrating that one day I just may fucking stop
