We have a message from MusterX!

A note to the SMC: I've decided this time around to do something unusual. I've decided to have Netflix week so all four of these films will be streamable on Netflix. To compound this limitation, I've selected four films that I have not seen, and to further muddy the water, all four will be in the horror genre.

---Godspeed

Here are our candidates!

A Dark Song (2016)

Director: Liam Gavin

Stars: Steve Oram, Catherine Walker, Susan Loughnane

Premise: A determined young woman and a damaged occultist risk their lives and souls to perform a dangerous ritual that will grant them what they want.





The Ritual (2017)

Director: David Bruckner

Stars: Rafe Spall, Arsher Ali, Robert James-Collier

Premise: A group of college friends reunite for a trip to the forest, but encounter a menacing presence in the woods that's stalking them.





Gerald's Game (2017)

Director: Mike Flanagan

Stars: Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, Chiara Aurelia

Premise: While trying to spice up their marriage in their remote lake house, Jessie must fight to survive when her husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her handcuffed to their bed frame.





The Devil's Candy (2015)

Director: Sean Byrne

Stars: Ethan Embry, Shiri Appleby, Pruitt Taylor Vince

Premise: A struggling painter is possessed by satanic forces after he and his young family move into their dream home in rural Texas, in this creepy haunted-house tale.

Since Netflix's catalogue changes between countries the Netflix-theme won't help me though.:D

I'm the Club President! I get 11 picks! You people can't stop me!

Just like the Academy, I don't catalogue Silence of the Lambs or Jaws as horror:cool:
 
  • Evil Dead 2
  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
  • Braindead
  • Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer

Man you're big on the Horror-Comedy, huh?

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was a comedy, right guys?

You're probably the kind of sick individual that would have wanted to keep the Beaver rape scene.

Humor is one of my favorite things. Goes great with gore.

Yeah, I laughed hysterically during Henry. Who wouldn't? :cool:

What's Jaws if not horror?
 
What's Jaws if not horror?

Uhh... uhh... a wildlife documentary?

Nah, I just disgarded it so to make the ranking easier.:oops:

Would probably have been slotted somewhere in the 7-9 rankings on my list.
 
10 Horror movies. . . Hmm. . .

Here's 10 in no particular order:

The Exorcist
Let the Right One In
The Shining
The Conjuring
Scream
The Ring
Bride of Chucky
The Thing
The Witch
Freddy vs Jason (yeah, srs)

I'm excluding some films that often get tossed into the horror genre, like Alien, Jaws, The Sixth Sense, The Others and Silence of the Lambs, as I think of those as primarily belonging to other genres.
 
I had a tough time picking between 2 of them.

Top 10 Horror films:

1. Halloween
2. The Exorcist
3. The Shining
4. The Thing
5. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
6. Night of the Living Dead
7. A Nightmare on Elm Street
8. Evil Dead
9. Psycho
10. It Follows

A pretty commercial list. Scream, American Werewolf in London, The Conjuring, The Omen, etc. are all great.

Still need to watch a few like Rosemary's Baby, Suspiria, and The Witch.
 
D'oh!

I know I forgot something on my list:D




Suspiria is best watched at 4 in the morning when suffering from sleep deprivation.

Or at least that's how I watched it. My brain was serously miffed the following day.

I should be able to do that pretty easily. I don't know anything about it, I want to look into it but maybe going into it blindly will be the best way.
 
My Top 10 Horror

1. The Shining
2. The Exorcist
3. The Thing
4. Jaws
5. Alien
6. Audition
7. 28 Days/28 Weeks Later (Its my poll, both films are #7)
8. Suspiria
9. The Omen
10. When a Stranger Calls (1979) This was one of the first films to scare the bejeesus out of me when I was a kid so it sneaks in because it 50-45'ed me.

Special Mentions: Phantasm (1979), Evil Dead (1981), An American Werewolf in London (1981), Rosemary's Baby (1968), and The Witch (2016)

Blood. It's what's for dinner.

1. The Shining
2. Alien
3. The Thing
4. Requiem For A Dream
5. Jacob's Ladder
6. Bone Tomahawk
7. Near Dark
8. Audition
9. Hellraiser
10. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
 
Probably, but it is so disturbing that I'm comfortable calling it a borderline psychological horror flick.

To me it's the greatest anti-drug movie ever made. I guess it's fair to say the film demonstrated those particular horrors. :)
 
It's an interesting question now that I think about it. What is a horror anyway? Is something like American Psycho a horror? Bram Stoker's Dracula? The Sixth Sense?

I think it is a hard genre to nail down, actually.
