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

[Duke Dixon]

Have you watched The Collection and The Collector??
And I would say the Victor Crowley/Hatchet franchise.
—-
Not the most popular or liked movies but they fit the bill of being highly underrated horror movies IMO.

I saw the collector but I think I fell asleep and never went back. I watched 1 or 2 hatchet movies and tapped out.

I watched a kill count on Midsommar and yea what you guys were saying is right. I probably got the possession idea from the end of Hereditary. I think I caught most of the clues but there's extra shyt like a bear on fire in the wall paper and her dead sister in the forest foilage that I missed.

I saw House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects. I didn't know they made a third one until a few months ago.

Edit: I didn't know about 31. I'll watch it since it sounds like a horror version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Sorry sir, we have nothing left to discuss

I don't think Hatchet was bad and the Collector I forgot about watching it. It probably has a good ending. I remember people were breaking into a home trying to steal something and it ends up they really messed and broke into a serial killer's home, maybe I'm thinking about another film. This was a long time ago.

Any Saint Patrick day themed horror movies

I loved Midsommar. I venture back anytime I wanna dive into the many layers of a toxic relationship. It’s one of those films that I find great and yet will take me another 2-6 months before I can watch it again cause of how heavy it is.

I can see it being a bit of a polarizing watch coming off of Hereditary though. Seems to get chalked up as slow and boring by most folks in this sub but I think folk horror is a sub-genre you’re either going to love or hate and it taking place in the daytime for majority along with its arthouse style probably spun some for the snooze.

Never really found it scary as much as it was disturbing and the ultimate anti-date night film. Aster really has a knack for making audiences feel uncomfortable….I consider it a signature like how Cronenberg can destroy folks with his use of body horror. I look back on it now and A24 did the best they could while marketing the film. It’s such a tough sell, like many of their other titles.

The whole Leprechaun series

 

[Duke Dixon]

My personal favorite Leprechaun movie is Leprechaun in The Hood. Even the movie is low budget, I mean step above student film project, the main characters make you root for them and its genuinely funny to me. I don't remember the 1st 2 but I remember liking the 3rd. The fourth is ok if you're into cheesy stuff, that's the one in space. Hood 2 is alright. I haven't seen Origins or Returns

“Swedish festival massacre”
Another Midsommar fan

There’s A LOT of hidden references, symbols, visuals and messages in that movie that make the movie even more eerie after you see it. I’ve been reading different articles I’ll post them up as I get time. I think that I was the only one in this thread who appreciated this movie so I had no one to share them with until ……now

I been here the whole time having your back fam. I'm an unabashed Ari Aster stan. My Midsommar post actually mentioned the second-watch value too, that's def the best part of his work.

Midsommar was dope to me. Visually incredible with a dope journey into psychological themes. World religions was one of the most interesting classes for me in college and I feel like my prof woulda bodied a class about perspectives from it.

The other thing I love about it is how effective the cult recruitment was. Most people I know on a single watch came away indifferent to everyone dying bc they’re a bunch of a-holes (except the couple that just wanted to leave, that was foul). The movie manipulates the audience how the cult manipulates the characters.

And I mean every character. On ensuing sit throughs it hit me more and more how the cult knew how people would behave (the whole plot drawn out on the walls in the very beginning). That dude curated his choices to bring along knowing which role they’d play. I’m still toying with the idea that the cult may have had a hand in her family’s death even but that’s a reach with the evidence given.

Anyway, to me the Aster movies are made for at least two watches. If you hate the flick, obviously don’t bother going back. But for anyone even a little intrigued at how the movie twists things in the end, his perspective plays are some of the best in any media right now imo. You know what the main characters know on the first view. The second time, you know more and completely reshapes the experience.

That sounds like The Collector's premise: guy breaks into a house to rob it but does so on the same night that a serial killer is there torturing the family with Saw like traps set up all over the house.
There are other movies about people trying to rob a house and ending up being the victims of the homeowners though.

The Leprachaun and Wishmaster are two underrated series to me...the good kinda cheese and schlock horror.

Don't get your hopes up breh. I wanted to like it so bad but it's not nearly up to the quality of Rejects or Corpses

Yeah, it was pretty over the top. That first killer is so ridiculous . Kinda all of them, but the first especially...

After Devil's Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses, I'd probably place Lords of Salem on the Zombie rankings.

Just got back from "X". I LOVED this movie. It was a great mix of camp, self-deprecating humor, suspense, and gore. There's a lot of self-awareness of what it is and what it's emulating. It was just really fun, IMO. The kills were great and gross, and I really like the way it ended. There's a nice little twist there that pretty cool and gave a double meaning to the title.

9/10 because they were doing these weird camera shots of the future while the present is taking place, but it only happens here and there, but overall, it's a great time.
