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

Yeah man both on Netflix there’s supposed to be a 3rd… I thought the premise was pretty good. What would you have given it?

I found it to be effectively disturbing even before the supernatural STD started taking over the main character's body and felt that she and the woman who played her mom were standouts in the acting department.
If I had to give it a rating I would probably give it 2.5 Gun Totin' Dr. Loomis'.

Also Contracted makes a great double feature with Starry-Eyes.

Never saw Contracted, but Starry Eyes was good..brutal final act!

Casting Announced For Mike Flanagan's 'The Fall Of The House Of Usher' At Netflix

Frank Langella, Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell, Mark Hamill and Carl Lumbly will star in Mike Flanagan’s new Edgar Allen Poe-inspired Netflix series “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Haunting of Hill House” creator Mike Flanagan revealed Thursday.

Described as “a modern remix of some of the most iconic works of Edgar Allan Poe” and an “epic tale of greed, horror, and tragedy,” the eight-episode series will feature “the largest ensemble cast in the history of Intrepid Pictures,” Flanagan tweeted Thursday.

Per Flanagan, Langella will play Roderick Usher, “the towering patriarch of the Usher dynasty,” McDonnell is set as Madeline Usher, “Roderick’s twin sister and the hidden hand of the Usher dynasty,” Lumbly is taking on “Poe’s legendary investigator C. Auguste Dupin,” and Hamill has been cast as “a character surprisingly at home in the shadows.” Gugino’s role was not disclosed.

Additional cast for “The Fall of the House of Usher” will be announced Friday. Production on the series will begin in a few weeks.

Not sure if it’s still on Netflix. I saw this a couple years back. Here is the whole movie supposedly.

Saw that a long time ago. Did not like it. At all. Can’t recall the exact reasons why, but it didn’t vibe for me. Didn’t like “it follows” either - the “scary std” monster movies and transmitted are just ewwww. Hard pass.

The girl was injected… through rape… but it’s basically a zombie movie more than anything else and I guess in a way “biological warfare”

Day Ten: To All A Goodnight

To All A Goodnight is an odd one...now it is really awful from the acting which was amateurish from top to bottom; to the directing choice to shoot everything under blankets of shadows; and the fact every kill in this movie looks embarrassingly bad.
However there are some interesting things about To All A Goodnight that, despite how awful it is, can be seen as having an influence on the slasher wave that exploded in the 1980s.
It was released in January of 1980 and featured a female killer 5 months before Friday the 13th did the same thing; It beat all the other 80s Killer Santa movies to the punch; and it had a pretty decent twist at the end.
Sadly, every other movie that To All A Goodnight may have similarities to are infinitely more entertaining than this underwhelming movie could even hope to be.

Day Eleven: The Wolf of Snow Hollow

The Wolf Of Snow Hollow does a great job of blending so many genres (horror, mystery, thriller, comedy etc.) all while maintaining a darkly humorous vibe and a lot of that is thanks to the talents of writer/director/star Jim Cummings.
Cummings as director notably does a wonderful job at alternating between the different tones in this movie without it ever feeling like a jarring shift which is a hard thing to do in films that straddle multiple genres.
And the twist is one I didn't see coming but that I enjoyed.

Anybody check out the new movie that dropped on Shudder: Death Valley?

Two hired guns, commissioned to rescue an imprisoned scientist from a secret facility, are hunted down by a terrifying creature of unknown origin.

I have it on deck for tonight.

The Night House was ok. The last half of the movie came out of nowhere

Day Twelve: The Children

The Children has a premise that I really like since "evil children" is one of my favorite horror subgenres and it is a bit timely with the use of some sort of airborne virus causing children to go homicidal.
However the execution of everything from the kills (shot in the clunkiest ways) and the overall direction (attempts at artsy shots that just felt hokey) to the horrible characters who behave in ways that make no sense.
I was questioning if the adults were also infected with some mind altering virus because it took most of them forever to realize just how murderous their little moppets had become (one guy was still clueless with only like 15 minutes left in the movie) and once they did they seemed to fall into two categories of behavior: either disregard that the kids were trying to kill them all or viciously kill the little monsters. It was like the idea of rounding up a bunch of elementary school age children and locking them in a room didn't occur to anyone... it was either act like the kids were fine or bash their heads in.

Day Thirteen: Silent Night, Bloody Night

Somehow I had never seen Silent Night, Bloody Night before despite it being a Lloyd Kaufmann production and starring one of my favorite cult movie actors in Mary Woronov (Eating Raoul; Night of The Comet) and that was a mistake on my part because this movie was pretty damn good. Sure, it looks and feels a bit dated but the actual film is almost aggressively dark and super creepy with the violent murders, town full of escaped lunatics, incestuous billionaire rapists and serial killers all covered by an air of New England haughtiness. Definitely worth a watch for any horror fan especially during the holiday season.

My Shudder app won't work on my ancient firestick and it's driving me nuts. Movies just don't play or crash the app constantly. I'm def getting a new one for Christmas, so I just gotta hold out.

My Shudder app won't work on my ancient firestick and it's driving me nuts. Movies just don't play or crash the app constantly. I'm def getting a new one for Christmas, so I just gotta hold out.

I just bought myself the latest Fire Stick because even with updates on my current one some of the apps are acting super buggy (primarily Hulu and Shudder).
