I watched As Above So Below tonight. Definitely triggered my claustrophobia.
Also, Perdita Weeks should have been Lara Croft.
And now go see The Descent!

It´s not too bad. ;-)I'll watch it sometime, just answer me this--how visceral does it get with the scissors?
It´s really not that bad, the movie is not a bloodbath or the like. The scissors are handled and used with...style.
Any horror movies involving monsters and people trapped in a house or town?
Was thinking of like The Thing, Blood Glacier or The Blob.
I haven't seen it but I just wanted to say this is a gorgeous poster.

The three movies by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead are probably one of the most refreshing thing happening in horror in the last few years. I'm talking about:
- Resolution (2012)
- Spring (2014)
- The Endless (2017)
Especially Spring. This movie is really special. I can't recommend it enough.
And by the way, you're all welcome to come and take part in the Horror Fan Era Hangout thread:
I watched Spring, based on your recommendation, and I loved it. It's the type of film I never thought I'd be drawn to but I'm still thinking about it, and there's not that many horror films that do that for me!
Is there a horror film community thread? We should make one if not! Or transform this one into it.
Awesome! ThanksThere you go my friend! Everybody is welcome.
Yeah, Halloween is an absolute classic. But, I haven't seen any of the sequels or remakes, are any worthwhile?It kind of goes without saying, but you've seen Halloween, right?
The remake from last year was pretty solid.Yeah, Halloween is an absolute classic. But, I haven't seen any of the sequels or remakes, are any worthwhile?
Eat shit and live, Bill!
There are tons! My favorite is Audition by Takashi Miike, but it's not really the subgenre you're asking for. My other favorites are Hausu (House) and Dark Water. Kwaidan is probably the most critically acclaimed Japanese Horror film!

Let me know what you think. Kobayashi is an incredible director.I'll go watch Kwaidan right now! I'm literally in a mood for some j horror right now.
Poltergeist is something similar to what you're looking for.Any horror movies involving monsters and people trapped in a house or town?
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! This movie definitely is something, isn't it? How would you call this particular subgenre of horror? Romantic body horror? It's something I've never seen before. And it's barely "real" horror to be frank. It definitely has tense moments and imagery associated with horror, but I wouldn't say it's a scary film. It's definitely a strange beast. And wow, it does stay with you for a very, very long time. I must have seen it about four or five times so far, and each time it slowly climbs up toward the top of my favorite movies list.
And now! If you liked Spring, let me suggest another strange beast. Another "romantic body horror" movie that might or might not fall into traditional horror.
I'm talking about Are We Not Cats. It might be something you could also appreciate after Spring. Spring is my favorite between the two, but both movies definitely share some characteristics. If you watch it, please let me know what you think!
A word of warning though: huge (HUGE!) trigger warning for anybody that had to deal with trichotillomania and related disorders in their life in any way, shape, or form. This movie goes deep in it in pretty graphic ways.
It is really unique and it's the kind of film I would have just skipped. The only way I can describe it is like an infinitely superior version of Twilight. I'll check out your next suggestion and let you know! I really want to watch Resolution and The Endless now after seeing Spring because of the quality of direction and writing.
Let me know what you think. Kobayashi is an incredible director.
Resolution and The Endless are both great. Very different than Spring, but you'll recognize the style of the directors. They are kind of related though, so make sure you listen to Resolution first.
Glad you liked it! If you were impressed, I do recommend watching Harakiri (although it's not Horror). It's probably Kobayashi's most famous film. I think he's one of the best directors ever.Got done watching it and wow. For a movie that came out in the 60s, it's damn timeless while I was watching it. Seeing all the practical effects and their faces makes it all more scary. I love the snow woman storyline. It's quite sad and tragic. I didn't know the whole thing was based on a japanese novel. Curious to order one now.
Yeah, Halloween is an absolute classic. But, I haven't seen any of the sequels or remakes, are any worthwhile?
Because of this thread, i've now re-watched Noroi: The Curse and Occult. is there any great Japanese horror movies worth watching? Not the really popular ones of course (Ju-on, The ring, etc..) I seem to like one of those folklore or urban legends stories. A found footage film style would be a good plus.
Got all the way through the thread to your post thinking I was going to be the first one to post about rubber. Amazing film. The whole premise is out there.I'll go for killer object movies
Rubber (2010)....killer tyre goes on the rampage, surprisingly good
Bed of the Dead (2016).... demonic bed goes on rampage, actually half decent
Curtain a.k.a The Gateway (2015).....shower curtain gateway death rampage...it's ok
The ToyBox (2018).....haunted R.V. starring Denise Richards....god awful
Death Bed: The Bed that Eats (1977)....title gives it away, terrible
Amityville 4:The Evil Escapes (1989).....lamp gone evil..lamp bad
The Mangler (1995)....Tobe Hooper directs Stephen king short.....gets mangled in mangler
There's loads more,even a killer lift one,mostly vehicles Duel,Christine etc etc
Oh yes that one is tough. Supernatural horror movies do nothing for me but these types of movies where the horror can happen in real life are the scariest IMO. Even Fatal Attraction send shivers down my spine.
Rewatched the Green Room tonight. What a great movie. So anxiety inducing... And the acting is very good.
With the release of the trailer for the upcoming Jacob's Ladder remake, I guess I need to recommend the masterpiece that is the original Jacob's Ladder.
This is such a great movie, and it is honestly aging very well. The writing and cinematography are very effective, and the movie keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. After seeing the remake's trailer, I'm not sure what is the purpose of this new movie. It really seems like a real downgrade from the original.
Even the original 1990 trailer is better than the new one:
Go see that movie! You will not regret it.
Which ending did you saw though? The Descent has 2 endings --- one which pave way to the terrible sequel (best avoid unless you're curious), and another which is damn good conclusion.

You have impecible taste.
This might be the best horror movie I've ever seen. Turkish with subs, all practical effects.
Thank me later.
Edit: Here's another recent favorite for bonus.
Not AS good as baskin but amazing in it's own right.
Uhh what?? Didn't know there's that ending. I guess there were 3. The good one was:There's two endings? The only one I know of (Jacob's Ladder I'm talking)
is that it's all a dream
Uhh what?? Didn't know there's that ending. I guess there were 3. The good one was:
The main character thought she managed to escape, but it turns out to just be a dream she's still trapped inside the cave. The final shot has her staring at her torch slowly going out as she imagined a time when she celebrated her daughter's birthday blowing a candle.
