Essential The Official Coli Horror Film Thread: Discussion, Recommendations And Murder.

[Dominic Brehetto]

So I've decided I'm going to watch every horror film on (Canadian) netflix. I expect a lot of trash,some so bad its good fukkery and hopefully find a couple gems.

Started with Creep (2014 film) which has a 93% RT score


Movie was barely horror,more of a black comedy. Guy hires another guy to film him for a day because hes dying of cancer and wants to document his life. Anyway,things start getting strange as the guy is,well,a creep. Its got an alright twist,and thankfully its short. Dont expect any scares or any interesting film making as its found footage and low budget.

4/10

i am really beginning to hate found footage movies
damns near all the bigfoot movies coming out nowadays are found footage
even if they are alright, i feel they would be better just filmed as a regular movie.
but i guess budget has a lot to do with it.

Creep had about 3 minutes of footage that was actually creepy/unsettling. The rest was boring as fukk.

So, this is a thing (horror movie streaming service):

Shudder.com

Seems cool so far. They just need to grow the library a bit more. Between this, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, you can find movies at any point in time, from many different regions. Still, I can't help but to think that some fukkery might keep some of the recent foreign films off of it.

Good concept especially if they can really flesh it out and get everything in there, cult classics, new stuff, giallo, universal monsters, etc.

Have you used it yet? I've been on a few times. They seem to be expanding the library on the reg

Today I watched

Life After Beth (2014) Film 45% RT

Its a horror-comedy,heavy on the comedy. Its got a great cast,Im a fan of dehaan,plaza is fantastic in it,and its also got anna kendrick and paul reiser. Basic gist is Beth dies and dehaans character is grieving. But suddenly ...she comes back to life.

If you enjoyed warm bodies youll definitely enjoy this one. Plaza really goes all out as shes continually decomposing and becoming a zombie. Some of the scenes had me in tears, especially this one

Anyway,I really enjoyed this one. Its nothing amazing,its fairly low budget but its small and focused.

7.5/10

So on my quest on netflix I decided to dive head first into the fukkery. Watched these 3 for the trifecta of fukkery

Sharknado....was actually a disappointment i was expecting a lot funnier,balls out film. I did have to at the spliced in footage from other programs. But it didnt really pick up until the final act which was ill admit.

3/10


Sharknado 2 though this movie was start to finish it fully embraced the silliness and I loved it. It had me almost in tears at parts

6/10


Mega shark vs mecha shark

movie felt like it was going through the motions of fukkery. Had a couple of scenes but mostly it was juat boring. The shark jumping up and back dropping on battleships like he was a heel had me though

Unfriended

they really need to do something about these horror movies
i know horror isnt "supposed to be" grade A top notch quality shyt for the most part
but cmon with this bullshyt
took these fakkits like 10 minutes to realize the camera was on that elephant cac

 

[storyteller]

Finally gave Unfriended a shot and wow...I don't think you could miss the target any worse, with simple basic failures in storytelling. Granted this was an MTV, BS horror movie but still...
1. Half the deaths are barely shown and those are actually the better ones because the deaths we see are ridiculous.

2. You need to have relatable likeable characters if you want us to care when they die. These kids were all dirtbags. They start off the movie just being obnoxious annoying teens and wind up being even worse human beings.

3. The level of Checkhov's gun abuse is absurd. Multiple thrown in subplots that don't pay off for a damned thing.

4. The big plot twist as predictable as it was stupid. Why are these kids fronting on a supernatural force that's killing them at will and putting their business out there? The main character reads that you have to confess your sins to survive and NEVER PASSES THAT KNOWLEDGE AROUND AND NEVER USES IT TO TRY AND SAVE ANYONE.

5. The entity is as petty as the kids. That ain't scary, it's corny.

What's crazy too is that there's actually some potential with this concept. They did a nice subtle image play with the first death. The guilty conscience play could have worked if they didn't force an unnecessary plot twist at the end. They didn't flesh out the bully girl enough for us to hate her, feel bad for her, or have any opinion of her really. We don't see a good side to any of these characters, nothing to feel empathy about. It's just a mess man...awful movie...I hate that I wasted my time with it.

Lowkey waiting on @Prodigal Syndicate 's fukkery list of what to avoid. Taking heavy Ls on those Asylum films. I caught one of their Shark films in college and that shyt blew my high.

Nahhhh. Fukk that. These directors need to stop getting those passes.

Lol this title showed up on Netflix's critically acclaimed list so I watched it. First half was just aight with the "this guy ain't quite right but where will this lead?" build up. Second half was hella retarded, wack and uninspired.

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

I can't believe I made it all the way in my 2nd viewing of "unfriendead"..never watching these bullshyts again.

 

[Ooh Marty]

Unfriended was a fukkin waste

Im confident that Sinister 2 is going to be great...the first one creeped me the fukk out.

Looking forward to seeing the next Paranormal. I know that most people hate the franchise but I love it.
