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

October 6th: You're Next

A fun slasher flick that is imminently re-watchable despite the mundane motivation of the villains and the lack of empathy I could muster for the majority of the victims. You're Next does very well as a thrillingly bloody cat-and-mouse game with really nice visual touches by director Adam Wingard and the hero of the movie that is one of the better Final Girls to be created in recent horror films.

I give You're Next 3 out 4 Gun Totin' Dr. Loomis'

While each installment has their clunkers, overall I really enjoy the VHS series.

I've spent years now on telling people about the Midnight Man for the simple fact that it's terrible. It's got a real shot at being in the "so bad it's good" category for people who rewatch movies like Wish Upon for laughter.

Oh like it Wish Upon?! Going to add this to the list

It's worse than Wish Upon. I'm talking bottom of the barrel, bad movie logic, bad cgi, but Robert Englund and Lin Shaye ham it up a LOT. It's my favorite Hate-Watch horror movie.

Flanagan taking on Poe could be FANTASTIC! The Fall of the House of Usher definitely fits the Haunting at Hill House/Bly Manor style.

That said...House of Usher is low on my Poe totem pole. I love the Cask of Amontillado even though it's tough to imagine that adapted and Pit and the Pendulum has all the visuals necessary to body.

Flanagan doing Poe should be really good.

What happened to the Universal Horror cannon?

The Mummy was such a flop that they shut down the initial run but now they're considering a new approach based on the Invisible Man's success, Wolfman is up next.

I wanted to like and appreciuate it as it was a throwback and homage to the golden era of sfx horror, but this fell short!

I thought the final act felt pretty jumbled and didn’t do justice to the atmosphere that was built up well in the first half. Felt like two different movies basically. There were a few bright spots near the end though, with two that immediately stuck out to me. The sequence with Daniel and Allison in the delivery room was pure Lovecraftian goodness and Powell’s final form took me down memory lane to Hellraiser.

Also a homage to Carpenter's Prince of darkness.

This movie and Sinister are in my top 5.

This soundtrack >>>> Carpenter’s Halloween score.

I watched this movie again about two months ago,,,I always liked this film

I actually thought it was surprisingly well done for an unplanned watch/no expectations. Really liked the vampire fight action sequences, the storyline - I slept on this for years thinking it was going to be cheesy/campy. It was not. Anthony Mackie is a versatile actor - good performance. He should do more horror roles. But he kind of blew up with Marvel since vampire Hunter so his genre options are out there.
