Haven't seen a movie nail underwater anguish so well before.

I'm shaking from the experience to be honest, and I don't think watching it in a movie theater would do it justice with the usage of silence in sound design.

For everyone who wants to see a 104 minutes long version of Peter Jackson's early masterpiece. Most versions are around 90 minutes long.

If you love cheesy 80s horror films with bad special effects, this is the one to watch.

Why theory is omaybe my favourite podcast and I just had to share this. A very academic approach to their analysis and heavily focus on psychoanalysis.

Exploring the classical horror film in terms of the antagonism between life and the beyond, inclusive of death. They focus on the films The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Frankenstein, Invisible Man, Godzilla, and Psycho.

Give this a go, its definitely worth a listen!

Great film, really nails the characters and atmosphere. Probably one of the saddest endings I've seen in a film in a while. I'm curious what others thought of the film.

Revisiting Ti West's amazing flick with a little Joe Bob commentary and caught this tidbit in the Special Thanks.

It has the occasional humorous moment and overall was an enjoyable watch. It kept my interest the entire time largely due to it steering clear of too many typical horror tropes and how unpredictable it was.

Also, Black Mass and Man Eater Godzilla count.

There’s nothing I find so cheering, these days, as the rise of the horror movie. Take its intrusion into this year’s summer blockbusters. We have the usual soulless franchises and deadly repeats – Despicable Me 4, Deadpool 3, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Bad Boys: Ride or Die – and then we have a flicker of light in the dark. Turns out that audiences do want new stories, they do want new characters, and they do want inventive film-making after all. Because a genuinely imaginative – arthouse, even – movie is predicted to draw in big audiences and make a great deal of money. It has come in the form of a horror film: Longlegs.

Just released on Friday and starring Nicolas Cage as a serial killer, Longlegs has been reviewed, variously, as “the scariest film of the decade”, and “a film in which every frame is a nightmare”. But it is also starkly beautiful – starting from the opening shot, as we follow a small girl’s progress throug

Set in Los Angeles in the late 1990s, the comedy-horror-romance movie follows a struggling writer named James Bishop, who is dealing with a messy breakup with the help of his best friend while trying to finish his latest book before the impending nuclear zombie apocalypse.

Josh Monkarsh wrote and directed “As We Know It.” He says the story reflects the misadventures, friendships and heartbreak of his childhood as he grew up in ’90s-era Los Angeles. Two big sources of inspiration were John Carpenter’s sci-fi action film “They Live” and John Hughes’ coming-of-age favorite “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

List of horror B-movies from the 1980s and 1990s

Before Jigsaw, Pennywise, and Ghostface, there was Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man. Yeah, horror movies and their monsters were more about creaky doors, freaky costumes, and spooky atmospheres than green-screen frights, puzzling torture porn, and high-octane mayhem.

So ahead, we're breaking down the horror movies that stand out in the crypt of classics; those that required their filmmakers to act as mad scientists to craft eerie and visceral tales with nothing but great storytelling and a formidable fog machine.

Link - Cosmic horror has been established as one of the most chilling sub-genres in horror cinema. With a focus on the unknown, isolation, and the human mind, cosmic horror plays on the imaginations of audiences rather than going all out on gore and jump scares. Instead of ghosts, serial killers, or vampires, these stories focus on the endless possibilities of the universe's fictional horrors.

Early 20th-century author H.P. Lovecraft gave Cosmic horror prominence through stories like At the Mountain of Madness, The Hound, and The Call of Cthulhu. The genre can be challenging to pull off in cinema, but plenty of films have tried to capture the terror of the unknown and unimaginable. Everything from stories of paranoia to questions about reality itself has made up cosmic horror in cinema.
