Found a 2010's K-Horror that takes the tropes of the Korean Revenge films from the 00's and capitalizes on them to build a really compelling mystery with one hell of a payoff. Hide and Seek



I feel like the less I say about the plot, the better. But the basics are that a successful man receives news that his delinquent brother has been missing. At the same time, someone appears to be watching his family and getting closer every day. Now, he has to face his past and figure out what's going on in order to protect his family.

It starts a bit slow, but that helps build the mystery. Around 40 mins in, it kicks everything up a gear and never really turns back. It's a stressful, thrilling experience with some familiar themes but a unique spin. I really enjoyed it!

I wouldn't buy something like this but they're really milking this!

Had a couple vacation days to burn through so yesterday i watched May The Devil Take You and May The Devil Take You Too. I had them on kind of in the backround and all i can say is this demon was terrorizing these people for 2 whole movies. I'd say these movies are kind of in the same category of Evil Dead.




Also, I just got back from seeing Last Voyage of the Demeter. 7/10. It's a safe undertaking of Dracula. There's nothing necessarily bad about the movie, but they don't take any risks or add anything to the Dracula mythos. I will say this movie looked good visually, maybe I was expecting it to be cheaper, but it was aight. The only thing that was cheap was the fire. But yeah the word i would use for this movie is "safe".

I loved May the Devil Take You. The opening for May the Devil Take You Too is pretty crazy too (bit of Evil Dead, Deadites vibe). Those joints and Queen of Black Magic are some quality horror out of Indonesia! Aggressive stuff...

Looks like Cobweb is already on VOD, and for cheap.



I'll probably cop this weekend, since I missed it in theaters.

Re-Animator is crazy fukkery.

Re-Animator is crazy fukkery.

That whole era was so wild. Re-Animator and From Beyond were the Lovecraft horror . Throw in Basketcase and Society for good measure. The 80's was wild. CastleFreak is 90's but I'd include it with that batch of madness too.

Recommend any other crazy ass movies like Basket Case and Re-Animator. I like all that off the wall, gorey shyt.

Those are hard to top. I connect Basket Case the most with "sexual urges lead to ridiculous murder sequences" so that'd be Castle Freak and for a couple other early 80's types that I think fit, Bloody Moon and Beyond the Darkness are sleepers. I should warn though, they are VERY 80's.

Re-Animator is even harder to match for me. I'd def go straight to Bride of Re-Animator (not as good, but they still have the vibe) and From Beyond; but there's a good chance you've already seen 'em. I think Scanners could kinda fit, the practical effects and gore are so wild

I’ve only seen Scanners. I’m thinking of blind buying From Beyond; maybe Bride if I can find it.

I thought about mentioning these two, but I haven't seen them myself. I know Brain Damage is mentioned like CRAZY and one that I've been meaning to watch for a long time. This is a good reminder for me.
