It's just me watching every horror film on Netflix and reviewing them in here.
I got like 20-30 films in last time but got busy in life and stopped.
I found some gems last time that I hadn't even heard of before so

The ending of that movie - I did not understand. There's all different explanations out there, but what's your take on it?
edit- The open-ended endings, (if that makes sense) are a source of contention with me, lol. Cloverfield Lane, same issue.
For me there's really only two possibilities,either they were given another chance and krampus is just keeping his eye on them,or they're trapped in the globe's doomed to relive that day and that all those globe's contain all the people krampus has collected.
Personally I go for the darker ending
That's one of the things I like about it is that the end can be seen as a happy or sad ending depending on how you view it
How did you view it @MartyMcFly

I’m an optimist lol so I go for the brighter ending in that krampus is always watching. Much like Santa clause. So if you get out of line then he’ll shake a globe and come holla at you.
@Dominic Brehetto @Nicole0416 if you think about it, it’s just the idea of Santa inversed. Knows when you’re sleeping, knows when you’re awake, knows when you’ve been bad or good so be good for goodness sake
Wouldn’t be hard to imagine Santa having a bunch of snow globes in his shop, looking at every boy and girl determining who gets gifts and who doesn’t.

Yeah I think either interpretation is valid and totally works which is why I liked it a lot.@Dominic Brehetto @Nicole0416 if you think about it, it’s just the idea of Santa inversed. Knows when you’re sleeping, knows when you’re awake, knows when you’ve been bad or good so be good for goodness sake

@MartyMcFly Thx for both of your interpretations. The factor that stands out to me is the look of gloom/doom on the family's faces in the final scenes. The family sensed that things are not how they seem. Like Krampus is the anti-santa clause in every sense of the way; there was this malevolence that was present. That's why I am leaning more toward the un-happy ending. The family (and others) would have no more time to atone and they are stuck in the snow globe existence.
I know some of yall will disagree but I can't get over how good Hereditary good, even if just on a purely cinematic level. It's gonna be a cult film for sure
Seeing it tonight
Yeah they all knew something was up. Probably remembered or had faint memories of what happened in the past.

I personally like all of my horror movies to have dark endings so I took the ending to be that family trapped for eternity in one of Krampus' snowglobes.

Enjoy your life and loved ones.
Watched Pin (1988), Southbound (2015) and The Guest (2014)
Pin is psychological horror and features some good camera shots that highlight the theme of the movie. I think you'll like this if you like films like Psycho.
Southbound is an anthology film that picks up in the middle but overall should probably be seen after you've seen all the better ones and are an anthology fan. The cgi for the monster in one segment kind of threw me out of it. I like the way the stories merge though. Some of the characters are a bit 'daft' for the situations that occur. I mean, yeah it's horror so it's expected for character to be a bit dumb. But this one segment basically relied on the character being dumb enough to believe what was going on in the first place, I understand at first believing it but it went on and on.
Anyway, in a way Southbound actually feels somewhat like a Silent Hill movie. As in the town itself seemingly having to do with the evil. This will maybe seem more apparent as you watch, though maybe you won't come to the same conclusion? One thing I can say is constantly throughout the film I kept saying aloud "Where is this going?" and "How is this gonna end?" especially with the middle bit.
Regardless, I'd recommend Pin over Southbound but it really depends on what type of film you prefer. Slow and psychological? (not slow as in boring either) Or a mixed bag of anthology (which usually comes with the territory of 'anthology')?

The Guest (2014) this is another "Where is this going?" type movie and it goes...places. Great soundtrack here as well. I recommend this one. Don't even want to say much about it.
In ways it's a throwback to 80s thriller/horror films. Worth a watch.
I watched more a while back, have to recheck my list to see which ones I'd recommend here. I keep forgetting to look in this thread.

Can someone explain how the hell Laurie Strode is supposed to be Michael Myers sister? 
never understood that shyt. I thought he killed his only sister at the beginning of the movie.
