I wanna apologize for my meltdown and unneeded drama on this thread yesterday. It was unprofessional and I know you don't want that in a non-drama thread. Let me make it up to you by discussing another horror movie from last year.
I have yet to see Big Shark. It's supposed to be the next film Tommy Wiseau made a year ago (which was released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of The Room).
Will it have the same exact so-bad-it's-good charm or will it just be a shitty run-of-the-mill bad shark movie?

It's all right, bro. We still don't give a fuck and we all know you did the Joker dance in the mirror just after you posted your gobbledygook.

I was watching the special features on Robot Jox (god help me) and the special fx guy was lamenting that a lot of people remember his work on stuff like RJ and Puppet Master, but the SyFy CG movies that he's done like Sharknado etc are forgotten the moment they drop. Deservedly so, in his opinion.
Incidentally, Robot Jox is possibly the most prophetic Science-Fiction motion picture ever filmed.
* Everybody wears covid masks
* White people are being replaced by genetic hybrid brown people
* Brown people fuck up every task they're given and lose to good ol' fashioned White Supremacy every time
* Most eerily of all, somehow predicted that America and Russia would become enemies back in the 1980s, years before Putin's rise to tyranny

I gotta speak on grave encounters. The idea is a bunch of "ghost hunters" that go into a mental hospital to capture the paranormal on video get in over their heads when they found out that the building changes shape to keep them inside. While that sounds like a basic premise, the pacing of the film is almost perfect. I think this was done on accident sure but it really has this slow decent into despair that is rarely captured on footage. They get picked off one by one sure but the idea of a horror movie being you don't want them to progress and you wonder whats next in the true sense of horror is really well done. The hospital changing shape is also a topic that is something I wish another film would explore in it. Their is supposed to be a third film for the back story but didn't get funded.

Decades into the Cold War, I don't think one would need to be Nostradamus to envision that the US and USSR/Russia would be enemies in the future.

Have you seen Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum? Similar premise and a damned good film imho.

Sure that's easy to see with the benefit of hindsight, but literally no one at the time was thinking it, or had any indication it would turn out this way. Other than the creators of Robot Jox, obviously. Prophetic is probably not too strong of a word.

I wholeheartedly agree. He nailed the whole “eccentric foreign mortician loner with a big secret” role very well… Mostly because that’s exactly what he is. I enjoyed the hell out of that movie and the scene where Tommy comes out from over the hill with a gun and a crusader helmet was absolute kino.

Honestly it's probably for the best. Personally I'd rather have a sequel with a new cast exploring the location sometime later or just do a new location!
The exact history of the place and why it is the way it is, is just better left to the imagination. This is why Pitch Black is my favourite Riddick movie. I still enjoy the sequels but not knowing anything about Riddick is what makes him interesting, you can't parse what's rumor and what's reality. That's just more fun to me personally.
Nah nah it's subbed in English and like @Oh piss off! said it's damned good. There are some really creepy set pieces in the film and the pacing is fairly close to Grave Encounters.

Thats exactly what they do in the second one. The thing that is rather unique about GE 2 is that it takes place in the movies own universe whre the movie grave encounters...takes places. It goes meta on itself and is kinda interesting.

So, anyone have decently subtitled versions of the Death Forest movies? The gore is surprisingly good and the main demon(?) Yoshie is terrifying.
Yea, that movie was great and I was really surprised with Wiseau's performance in that movie.

All right, since the thread's in a lull and I'm bored and not busy, here's my 2023 in horror:
Actual good or enjoyable movies:
Consecration
V/H/S 85
Movies that weren't necessarily good but are worth watching for some reason or another:
Infinity Pool (It's very close to being good)
Knock at the Cabin Door (just a regular amount of sucky and dumb, think how bad the movies I won't watch must be)
Renfield (waste of a good premise, but I guess it could've been worse (high praise, I know))
Utter shit that I remember seeing (or in most cases, watching the first 30 minutes and bailing):
Black Mold (I at least finished it, but it sucked balls)
Brooklyn 45 (I meant to do a rant on this one, it's such utter shit, but I don't even care enough, nor does anyone else)
Evil Dead Rise
Nefarious (not really a horror, but it's thrown in on every list. I'll expand on this one if anyone is interested, but the BL is I don't think it's worth watching as a movie)
The Nun II
Unwelcome
Movies I plan to see:
Beau is Afraid
The Bell Keeper (I know this is garbage, but it's the only film in Randy Couture's ouvre that I haven't seen)
Five Nights at Freddy's (I'll probably never watch this, never played the game and it seems not very interesting, but people I trust said it was OK)
Insidious: The Red Door (they're inoffensively dumb, at least so far)
Saw X
Thanksgiving
The Pope's Exorcist
Wow, I remember seeing some better movies this year, but I guess they were all older. Seems like a very basic bitch list, but who knows. Also this year had a TON of shit that I had absolutely no interest in, even if people said they were good, which no one did (Wrath of Becky, Boogeyman, Exorcist: Benigger, Strays, Totally Killer, etc, etc, etc).
What a fucking shit year when fucking Knock at the Cabin Door literally makes my to 5 (certainly not because it's good). Although, to be fair, I watched barely any current year foreign stuff, so you might have had a better year of it if you went out of your way. I swear I watched a lot of good horror this year, but I guess it was just older stuff I had missed.

Nefarious really isn't a movie, just a way Steve Deace tricked people into listing to his boring ass views of the world.

I feel a little bad saying it but I just don't find GE2 memorable. I'm sat here typing and I can remember plenty of scenes from GE1 but nothing of GE2. Right now I'm remembering Lance eating a rat but that could be from the end of the first movie. I'll put a bit of it on me, it's been a while since I've seen it, maybe my memory is shit.
Just a thought: has there been one of these ghost hunting found footage flicks set in a castle? I don't mean like a completely rundown sort of deal but a well maintained thing so the characters can't just escape through one of the many holes in the walls.
