The Endless (2017)

πŸŽƒ Horrorthon 2023 #10

This was VERY interesting! Requires a lot of paying attention and thinking, but it's worth it. If you liked the TV show "Lost", you would probably like this movie. Not anything too gory, the horror is mostly psychological.

Leprechaun (1993)

SO DUMB πŸ˜‚ but srsly, how did Warwick Davis go from Willow to THIS?! He was a creepy-AF leprechaun, gotta at least give him that much.

Rubber (2010)

πŸŽƒ Horrorthon 2023 #1

Absurdity for absurdity's sake. Not un-enjoyable... but don't expect any of it to make sense,πŸ˜‚ and be ready for a whole lotta watching a sentient tire roll around having an existential crisis.

Resurrection (2022)

This was hard to watch, but in a Cape Fear 1991, Invisible Man 2020, kinda way -- psychological horror TOπŸ‘THEπŸ‘MAXπŸ‘

How much anxiety do you WANT to have??
Because of you're a woman, it's gonna be A LOT.

Maniac Cop (1988)

πŸ”₯ 35th Anniversary

More mystery, thriller, and even drama components than I expected -- actually gave the movie some good depth.

Sleepaway Camp (1983)

πŸ”₯ 40th Anniversary

I know this movie is a "cult classic" or whatever, but it is hot garbage.πŸ˜‚
I'm glad I didn't bother saving it for my Halloween Horrorthon.

The composition of most of the scenes sucks; the character interactions and dialogue are so forced and unnatural; the acting is terrible, and half of the actors that are supposed to be "kids" are probably old enough to drink... it's just painful to watch.

Then my husband's like, "well we have to watch the 2nd one now", and I couldn't even make it 10 minutes into it. πŸ˜‚ I didn't want to waste any more of my life.

There's Nothing Out There (1991)

This movie is the epitome of "dumb but fun". πŸ˜‚

There are actually some impressive-for-low-budget practical effects deaths, but the monster is definitely hokey in a hilarious way. The fifth-wheel friend's meta exasperation at their all being trapped in a horror film was enjoyable.

The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

Since it's been hot as hell this week, I figured it was a perfect time to watch the original Hills Have Eyes for the first time. Wes Craven just KNOWS how to make things disturbing.

Kill List (2011)

This was just slow, hard to follow, incongruous, with many discrepancies that are never addressed. Not sure why it has such good ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, it's not scary and kinda boring.

The House of the Devil (2009)

SO MUCH about this film feels Stephen-King-adaptation-esque (and the brief appearance of Dee Wallace in the beginning makes it even moreso), then suddenly you're slammed into modern horror, then slide back into nostalgia, round-and-round again. Really enjoyable to watch, great style, great horror vibes.

The Canal (2014)

CREEPπŸ‘TASTICπŸ‘ and more brutal than expected. A refreshing indie descent into madness, especially after watching Coherence which was boring.

Side note: love the low-key 70's Italian horror vibe of this promo art.

Jack Goes Home (2016)

HOOOOO BOY, this was way more art-house than I was expecting. For about the first 50 minutes, it was all drama drama drama, and I'm wondering how is this a horror movie? Then he finally goes into the attic and finds The Box, and everything just goes berserk from there.

There Are Monsters (2013)

πŸ”₯ 10th Anniversary

I was super-skeptical at the beginning of this movie -- it's very obviously low-budget, and I'm not big on the found-footage subgenre generally. Turned out to be totally worth watching. The filmmaker(s) understood horror and it showed.
