Honestly, my favorite “Someone in our town is an actual monster and we need to find out who/prove it to everyone.” movie is Silver Bullet. I’ve seen some pretty divided reviews on it, but I love it, and I originally found out about Fright Night in the first place by looking for movies in that vein.
Yeah, Silver Bullet, I like that one a little bit more. I think my main issue with Fright Night is that the main character is a complete weenis.
The second sequel to that, The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell, is one of my favorite films ever. It's a total mess of a film, absolutely a love it or hate it kind of thing, but nothing makes me feel like I'm having a fever dream like it does. It's the kind of thing you just have to show to somebody, that's how I first saw it.
Original, didn't even know there was a remake.
I enjoy the remake. It's got a few creative kills. Definitely leans a bit more towards the action side than horror. I remember seeing the movie in theaters and the baseball game scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. When it ended there was like a legitimate weight off my shoulders.
I have seen this one! It's easily the last good Hong Kong genre film you will ever see ever again for obvious reasons. The gore is really good and strives for realism.
Can't go wrong with the Bill Lustig classics: Maniac and the Maniac Cop movies.
I finally signed up for tubi and tried to stack a watch list. Even though I was warned, I was still not prepared for how much of a pain it is to actually find anything. Their "recommended" algorithm ignores the watch list altogether, the "show similar movies" feature makes you scroll through only five movies at a time, yet the search function somehow turns up similar movies. I had my best luck searching for "evil dead" and infinite scrolling through all the random crap it turned up. Turns out it has "There's Nothing Out There!", which is supposed to have had a similar premise to Scream, but a few years before Scream (plus monsters instead of a slasher movie).
Your best bet if you're looking for something on Tubi is to use clickbait sites that have "best on Tubi" lists. Their search engine really sucks but at least you can search by actor or director. You can't search by uploader which is a big mistake.
I love how a majority of the comments sound exactly the same.
Right? Like it’s not even subtle.
Sorry vvv late and all but I was looking back through the thread for something new to watch.
