Euro horror/Giallo and Italian horror movies. :ohlawd:
The look, the music, the style, the death scenes, the creativity. :ahh:

So refreshing.

Dario Argento was my jump off point years ago but there's so much more to discover. Italian horror is reigniting my love for horror films.

:blessed:

To me the best slashers are not the supernatural, Jason, Freddy, etc, it's ones that follow more of the Agatha Christie/Scream blueprint, where the killer is revealed at the end, that's the intrigue to me, even in a dumb slasher, is finding the killer, and what their likely preposterous (in a bad slasher) motive was. I need some recommendations in that lane, as I finish up the horror movies for this month. 'Scream' is the classic, but 'Urban Legend' is close to me, as far as slasher/mysteries goes.
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
Deep Red
Tenebrae
Psycho
Alice Sweet Alice
The New York Ripper
Valentine

Movies that don't fit your criteria but are also not supernatural.
Black Christmas
Rear Window
Frenzy
Peeping Tom
Halloween
The Devil Rejects(more of a Grindhouse type film)
High Tension
Wolf Creek
The Strangers

Watched lights out

I thought it was just okay.

The concept itself is so simple and ingenius.

The film however was just kind of there. it was very by the numbers modern horror film. and the ending was just very abrupt and rushed.

A couple of scenes stood out but it reminds me of mama. A dope short that lost its focus as a feature.

saw the movie Under The Shadow

it was really good

has a nice horror atmosphere
It felt too appeasing, as if it were a Hollywood remake rather than a foreign film - simply relying on Farsi doesn't really cut it. The political/social eisegesis is somewhat there, but it never digs deep enough and meanders too much instead of time better served on her [a woman's] experience and frustration during the Iran-Iraq conflict. That's the real horror, and instead of using the supernatural to underline that and open those wounds, it's used as more of a vehicle for jump scares.

Even better on second viewing. Still blown away at how good this film is, even picked up on a lot of shyt I glossed over when I first saw it. @porque if you haven't checked this out yet - this is social commentary and the supernatural done right.

Zombi 2(Lucio Fulci)-1979

Zombies haven't looked this good since. This is basically a Resident Evil movie that actually seems like it could be related to the Resident Evil game series. The effects are great and so is the music.

Actually the Resident Evil comparison more so applies to Day of the Dead 1985 due to the military connection. It's genuinely a good movie, one of my favorite horror movies now. Just saw it earlier today.

I don't know why I watched Night of the Living Dead so many years back but didn't get to Dawn or Day yet but man, the characters, plot, make up effects, etc were all great. Memorable characters and it was cool to see a doctor making progress in communicating with a zombie and teaching him stuff. I thought that was the most interesting concept explored. Strong female lead, great antagonist, good side characters and good dialogue. :tu:

Just finished Dawn of the Dead, good movie. More light in some areas than Night or Day. Still a good cast of characters, the movie overall feels more fun and action oriented than the other 2. I like how Romero has good black characters in the films too. Duane Jones in Night, Ken Foree in Dawn(Rob Zombie likes to work with him too) and Terry Alexander in Day. All of them are good characters too, strong, smart and capable it's cool to see that. I also liked Ving Rhames in the Dawn remake.

Overall the movie is fun with good characters and effects, I more so liked how the zombies looked in Day though. Then again, I believe Romero wanted each movie to have a different look to the zombies. However there are some stand out zombies of course and they look good. It can get silly at times(later half) but the tone for the most part remains consistent with what's happening. Again, it's more so in the horror action direction. It's still essential viewing for zombie movie fans. :tu: Ken Foree punching zombies is great. :laugh:

I saw Night so long ago that I might end up rewatching it, I got on a zombie movie binge but I'm going back and forth between them and Giallo/old school slasher movies.
