Essential The Official Coli Horror Film Thread: Discussion, Recommendations And Murder.

[Jello Biafra]

I had to know what Straight Edge Kegger on Shudder was all about...basically, a bunch of straight-edge punk rock heads toughened up to clean their scene up and get rid of neo-nazis and other racist types but now they've become the bullies and when one of their guys leaves to start drinking and meeting women...they decide to raid the party and kill everyone. I was hoping for at least some so bad it's good or unintentional comedic value, but it's just a low budget movie with a barely-there plot.

I also peeped a movie called the Initiation. It spends the first half-hour taking a very serious look at college date rape but with horror sounds and music...and then it's a slasher, with the parties involved being stalked and murdered. It feels like an honest attempt at tackling a serious subject, but the slasher elements don't really crossover well with the heavy subject matter imo. There's a clear tie-in to how cyber-bullying and gossip can make things even worse for a victim. Colleges covering up assault accusations comes into play which I appreciate the candidness on. I also like that it's careful not to punish innocent parties (well...for the most part). But it still felt too close to this new trauma porn horror movement for my comfort.

I immediately was like when I saw that Straight Edge Kegger movie in the new section on Shudder.

I enjoyed The Initiation though. Didn't get the trauma porn vibe from it that you did. Just felt like a nu age slasher to me.

Watched Green Inferno last night. Now the hunger () has returned for more cannibal flicks. Thinking of buying Eaten Alive and Cannibal Ferox.

A Ryan Hollinger review helped me find an absolute GEM of a horror-comedy called Severance

A group of office workers head out for a company retreat where they're stalked by a killer, slasher style. It starts off like a quirky workplace comedy (think Office Space or the Office) and it has some legitimate laugh out loud points. But then it veers and fully leans into horror with some absolutely gruesome kills and sincere slasher values. It can go from straight up comedy to major murder in the span of a few minutes without feeling forced or disjointed. No one ever feels safe, but clever callbacks and dry humor help you go from tense and brutal scenes to letting your guard down with a chuckle.



It leans into the 00's era gruesomeness that the torture porn craze picked up, but never goes over the top. I think what adds impact is that the character tropes are familiar but not oversimplified and the laughs help you to feel invested in their well-being. The balance between horror and comedy is really well-handled. It starts off more comedic with horror slipped in but closes with a lot more tension while still sneaking plenty of puns and clever callbacks into the mix. It's genuinely funny when it wants to be and genuinely tense and scary when it wants to be. I LOVE the writing in this ish, not surprised that one of the writers also wrote and directed Creep (and one in the English subway system, not the handy cam one).

Anyway, picture an office sitcom where you like the characters for all of their quirks...then picture them in a life or death situation against the Collector. That's the weird mash-up we got and it totally worked for me. This is officially one of my favorite horror comedies of all time.

I was just coming in here to talk about this movie.
The lil Asian kid is much better in this than he was in that evil genie movie. Lol my daughter came in my room and started watching it with me. Now we both about her riding the bus and walking home from school.

I remember watching Severance back in 2006 and really liking it. Haven't seen it since though so I might do a re-watch.

There was a murder of a teenager in 2009 that was a copy of one of the murder scenes in this movie. It brought international attention to the movie at the time.

Student killed in imitation of a horror film scene, jurors told
