DefaultGen | 5,412 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Maybe I have to watch Session 9 again. I always see that people like it, but me and wife thought it was pretty damn slow. It was just a random Netflix movie we had no expectations for. Maybe it just has Rosemary's Baby energy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,412 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Event Horizon is so in the horror top 100. I don't understand how Paul W.S. Anderson's career turned directly into mediocre schlock after making that. I guess he's rich and doesn't give AF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You *knew* this was gonna be controversial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You *knew* this was gonna be controversial Mulholland Drive is more of a noir/mystery movie. Definitely agree that it shouldn’t be in a horror list. The other two fall more into the psychological thriller category which is a sub genre of horror. Reed made the right choice I would have been all over him if he had included it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,412 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 The saddest movies you're missing (if they count): No Saw movies The Lighthouse, Funny Games, Tetsuo the Iron Man if they are "horror" and not "arthouse bullshit" The Wailing Videodrome The saddest movie on the list: Rosemary's Baby The movie you're the coolest for including: The Invisible Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,547 Editorials Team · Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 I'll be doing 100 more movies next October, because there are so many where it pained me to leave them out. Many of those will make the cut. I watched Saw and Saw II quite a bit when they came out. But now there is just so damn many of them that it kind of made them all run together in my head and dilute the experience. Kind of like Final Destination. I was on the fence with Videodrome counting. Obviously I'm splitting hairs if I'm including Scanners but not it. Wouldn't have made the cut either way. Feels like more of a 101-150 movie since I like quite a few other Cronenberg movies more. I find Funny Games terribly unpleasant to watch (which is exactly what the director is going for). I'm not sure how to translate those feelings into a "favorite movies" list The Lighthouse kind of had me thinking about Antichrist the entire time, which isn't a bad thing. Plenty of A24 films were very close to making the cut (X was literally the last movie out), so they'll be showing up next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,966 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Going through your list now, I'm almost surprised that there wasn't a single movie (out of those anyway) I'd forgotten for my own list. I thought I forgot about Barbarian, but nope, it's on there. Here's my own random top list of horror movies. It's mostly prioritized with the ones I like the most at top, but it's hard to really rank. These are all movies that I'm very fond of, so being in spot #27 isn't much worse than #1. I'm including a couple of the Mike Flanagan miniseries even though they're not movies, because they occupy a similar spot in my brain. Mulholland Drive The Lighthouse Rosemary's Baby Under the Silver Lake White Noise Alien Jacob's Ladder I'm Thinking of Ending Things Haunting of Hill House Midnight Mass The Invisible Man Evil Dead 2 The Killing of a Sacred Deer Gremlins Cape Fear (Scorsese version) The Shining Ex Machina Midsommar Bram Stoker's Dracula The Exorcist 3 It Follows Barbarian The Others Cabin in the Woods Get Out Heridetary The Ritual I'm curious what you think of the ones I marked in bold because they are not on your list, and feel like movies you'd like. Also, Krampus. I never finished this movie because my GF was getting too uncomfortable watching it. But what I saw felt like a really high quality Gremlins-like, and I'd like to some time watch it through for myself. Seemed like something that would be ripe for your list, but I can't rank it myself. Finally, the Creep movies. I always hear these namedropped as some really underrated horror gems, and halfway expected them on your list. I'm glad they are not though, because I thought they were embarassingly bad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,729 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 @Reed Rothchild Do you watch foreign horror films at all? Mr Vampire series for example, is excellent. Actually I generally hate western "horror" films, though the stuff from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Thailand, etc is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
