Anyone here have any horror movies that you can always rewatch no matter what?

Nosferatu might be the one horror movie I've seen the highest number of times just because I can always re-watch it with a different soundtrack... there are a whole lot of them out there.

Other than that, Phantasm and City of the Living Dead/Gates of Hell don't get old for me, watchable on multiple levels.

Day of the dead intro "Hello"

I went and saw Barbarian (2022) last night. Theater was almost empty but on the plus side it wasn't right next to another blockbuster so I didn't have to hear the god damn bass every 2 seconds while watching a quiet movie.

No spoilers: very, very good original horror film. The beginning is slow but it builds the tension very well. Has some good gore, twists and turns, the logic doesn't quite hold up by the end but I'd highly recommend it. 9/10. Surprisingly, it's written and directed by the Whitest Kids you Know Member who co-wrote and directed Miss March. It's a dramatic improvement over his previous effort to say the least.

Just replace the zombies with troons and it'll be a perfect visual representation of what's going on right now lol.

Jesus I really need to rewatch Day of the Dead soon. I remember really liking it and I always thought it was better than Dawn or Night. Day has some of Tom Savini's best gore effects.
 
Uhm, Barbarian is #1 for the weekend box office. That's pretty significant for a movie that isn't a remake or part of a known IP and had a budget under 5 million (I'm guessing 2 million at the most) and had practically no real marketing budget.

Sadly, Disney still wins because it's owned by Fox.
 
I watched Black Phone yesterday, overall, I would say it's a pretty solid movie. The story is fairly simple, and it doesn't explain every detail and leaves several things up to your imagination that go unexplained, which I personally enjoy a lot because many times movies will try to just to tell you every detail.

Saw Barbarian too. It was an alright movie, like People Under The Stairs and Castle Freak mixed with incest. Feels like there was some cut scenes, like one big example is with Andre saying "there are worst things down there!". I was expecting the barbarian's actual child(ren) to barge through since the pieces were already there with Frank raping women and raping their children for more children) but it never came. It's no Malignant people are saying it is, but it's a fun movie though among all the trash these days. Sound design and soundtrack is also really damn good too.
Lets not forget: "WHAT'S UP, FAGGOT!"
Love how people immediately hate the movie just because of the existence of the word, despite it was used in friendly joking banter.

I liked the movie a lot but it seemed pretty well aligned with the 2022 Overton window, a Twitterer would have to put in more than the usual work to be offended by it.

I mean, you hear THAT WORD (I won't repeat it) you kinda know how that's going to work out.

Almost every character dies immediately after trying to mansplain something...

This is such a damn good intro, even if it's where like 90% of the budget went.
 
So, I watched Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and it's... good, especially if you don't spot the twist. It's nice to have a slasher where you are actively rooting for the slasher to murder every single person in the house in the woods.

8/10
 
Watched Speak No Evil, which is sort of like a mixture of awkward cringe, passive sacrificial cow and serial killing. Kinda funny bits, but in a disturbing way. The baby sitter bit in particular, was every polite overly liberal parents conundrum shaped nightmare.

Some stuff didn’t really hang together that well, but the opening sequence with the music was ACE.
 
If Lily-Rose Depp is replacing Anya Taylor-Joy than that is a huge downgrade in casting.

Only seen her in three movies, first being Yoga Horers which to be fair to her everyone was bad in, The King which was pretty much a none role where she didn't have to do much and in Silent Night which she was fine in even if the movie it's self had faults.
