Excited for IT. Anyone else seen the new Annabelle film? Pretty good. Wouldn't say it's as good as either of the two Conjuring films but a big improvement on the first one. The director also did Lights Out which was one of my favourite horror films of last year.
I'm quite excited for this because I love the first one and have enjoyed some of the sequels but my wife sort of ruined it for me. Seems like the film is built on the idea of one of these kids is going to be Leatherface but which one? But she told me ages and ages ago, before any details were released, that a kid from Eastenders was going to be Leatherface in the new film. So I'll already know which one it is. Still looks good though.
That's great to hear! I like horror movies but tend to stay away from them because the vast majority of them are terrible and not scary... except maybe to young teenagers. It's rare that I come across a good one that is truly creepy and that doesn't rely on cheap jump scares and gore.
I'll be checking out IT sometime this week, perhaps tomorrow or Wednesday.
That's some incredibly high praise there! Seeing it exactly 24 hours now, conveniently enough, and I'm hoping I'm just as glowing about it. Been anticipating this one for a very, very long time.
Well Sam is the big name actor of the film. All the other kids are unknown actors so it was kinda a given.
Fun fact, my family almost bought the chainsaw massacre house from the 2003 film and 2006 film. Pretty unreal being there.
Get Out is good but I don't consider it a horror film at all. It's more of a suspense/thriller. I'm also looking forward to The Snowman but I think that will also be more of a suspense/thriller rather than a horror film.
I'm still in two minds about It: The Movie. I'm not sure it was particularly that great, if I'm honest. It was good, but not fantastic. I thought it began very well with the boy in the rain and the storm drain, then as the kids were slowly introduced I felt it became rather disjointed. I didn't feel invested in any of the Losers Club the same way the original TV two-parter made me feel. I thought the young girl, Sophia Lillis, was very good with what she was given, but the rest of the boys all seemed to be vying for the camera in a school-stagey way. I was in my early Thirties when I saw the original It back in 1990. I can still recall hiring both split parts on VHS, watching the Losers Club one night, followed by the second part of the grown-up members the following night. The first part I can remember as having been really good, drawing me in and wanting to know what happened twenty years later on the next VHS cassette. Sadly, the second part wasn't as good as the first. Strangely, the movie version of It doesn't make me want to know what happens next to these same characters the same way the original TV version did. I'm getting a premonition that Chapter II of It movie might not do so well as the first part... again.
Insidious
Mama
It Follows
Get Out
It
Scream 4 was the second-best Scream after the original I think. The Conjuring and The Babadook were okay but a little overrated IMO.
The Babadook was definitely overhyped I thought. Meanwhile, I found Get Out and It both lived up to the hype and are each very good! Actually, It Follows, Get Out, and It are probably my Top 3 of the decade.
American Mary (2012)
The Innkeepers (2011)
Hatchet 2 (2010)
Burning Bright (2010)
Maybe I need to rewatch it with my expectations in check, but it had nothing on offer for me past some solid acting and cinematography. Didn't feel scary or tense in the slightest throughout.
The Descent was of the prior decade, of which had no shortage for a list of my favourites.

The Descent, from the decade before, I've tried three times and just cannot see in it what others do. It's a bunch of nameless, personality-less women running around in the dark in a cave with some awfully heavy-handed symbolism thrown in for good measure. Not knocking anyone who enjoys it, but that one just ain't for me.
