As a lover of old horror movies, it's sort of true.

It's still a lot of fun to laugh your way through them
If you're on this binge and want some recs. "Talk to me" and "late night with the devil" are my favorites so far this year. "Longlegs" was really bad imo.
Longlegs could have been very good but they fucked it hard. The "lead" detective, the M. Night Shyamalan twist, and too much Cage hurt it bad. The final scene with Cage was amazing but that should have been the only real look at him.
"Late night with the devil" was really good. Touched enough points to be good but not over the top. Run time was perfect.
Late night with the devil was such a neat movie.
It was so cool, but tripped at the finish, IMO. The first 85% was really cool, though!
Talk to me was one of the first horror movies in a long long time that actually got to me, highly recommended if anyone is on the fence
That one scene in the bedroom got me good. Had some trouble being alone in the dark after that for several days. Thankfully I have doggies and a wife so not sleeping alone. I would have prob had to sleep with the lights on otherwise.
I liked Longlegs
I couldn't get through Talk To Me.
The teenagers were written to be so off-puttingly obnoxious, I ended up walking out of the theater early. Loved the concept though.
My favorites this year have been the new V/H/S film, Abigail, and Festival of the Living Dead. All this talk of Salem's Lot makes me want to watch Midnight Mass again.
I know I'm the odd one out, but I haven't enjoyed most of the critically-acclaimed horror this year.
Check out Smile (both of them) and The Substance
Update, I rented “Late Night With The Devil” and yes, absolutely worth it
Yeah, longlegs didn't impress me either. Its a great looking film, with some decently creepy moments, and a cool setting, but yeah, in terms of horror, nothing new or particularly memorable.
The first 15ish minutes of Longlegs are great but it just fizzles out over the remainder of its runtime imo
I always figured they were made for the kind of person who would screech if the lights go out unexpectedly.
To be fair, though, some of the bad ones are good precisely because they're so bad.
Troll 2.
It's like a slot machine, you just keep pushing that play button until you hit the jackpot.
Remade this to improve image quality
It’s even worse when you include horror literature.
I've been on a horror movie binge and can confirm this is true.
I watched all the Friday the 13th movies this month and there was not a good movie amongst them. 🤦
Manos: The Hands of Fate
A Touch of Satan
That's how I found Llamageddon. No regrets.
What's ligma
Llamageddonma balls.
Oddity
This was my most recent good horror movie discovery
Yeah I heard that one was good, more of a slow burn, right? I'll watch it shortly!
If you want a somewhat unknown, but fantastic Horror move (with Christopher Lee, John Carridine, Vincent Price, and Peter Cushing):
House of the Long Shadows (1983)
