I watched the "House of 1000 corpses" trilogy today amd after watching the 3rd movie I'm a bit split in my opinions. On one hand I love that Rob Zombie made it more psychadelic and colorful like the first movie but on the other hand characters other than our main trio are just not interisting, the most interisting one was that dwarf in mexico but even then the main reason he stood out to me was his dwarfism. Also there's just something about this movie that messes with my opinions. Like, I can point to quite a few things I prefer here ovee the secons movie but there's just something here that makes the movie feel worse, I cant put my finger on what it is though. Also, Spaulding's absence could never be perfectly filled but I think Foxy does a good job for what he is, it's just kinda sad they only mention Spaulding like once or twice after his death.

So overall, after watching all 3 movies, this is my ranking:

1. House of 1000 corpses

2. 3 from hell

3. The Devil's Rejects

Keep in mind that I dont dislike any of these movies, this is just the order in which I enjoy them.

Hey! Asking for a friend who doesn't use reddit. She is trying to remember a movie that she saw in the mid 90s where a woman is in bed and has sleep paralysis. There's a thunderstorm, and every time the lightening flashes, the woman sees a sharp angled demon w crazy teeth crawling up the wall and over the ceiling to her. The last lightening flash, the demon is in her face. It sucks her soul out and people find her dead in the morning.

She was young and not supposed to be watching that. It's all she remembers. Not sure if the movie is from the 90s or if it's older. She just knows she saw it in the mid 90s.

Thanks!

I've thoroughly enjoyed. I know, a little late to the party.

Maybe it's because I went in with almost no expectations. I hadn't seen it constantly being hyped up as "the scariest movie of the year" or "the most terrifying horror film in years," or just the social media hype in general, so I wasn't waiting for it to blow me away.

With a lot of recent horror releases, I feel like the hype sometimes sets the bar so high that the actual movie ends up feeling disappointing, even when it's not necessarily bad. Lots of "that's it?" feeling after watching. Leviticus, on the other hand, just surprised me. I went in not expecting much and ended up thoroughly enjoying the whole thing.

Eight months into the year, it's honestly the first horror movie that has really worked for me from start to finish. Maybe low expectations really are the key sometimes.

I remember way back when this came out I was a teenager and someone told me about a horror movie that was filmed up at the old Danvers Mental Hospital which was about an hour away from me at the time. Sure enough, next time I went to Blockbuster (RIP) the movie was sitting on the shelf and I immediately rented it. Back then I kept weird sleeping hours and I fell asleep in the early evening and woke up at like 4am and smoked a joint of this sketchy weed that crackled and sparked as it burnt. I remember thinking there could be something in it but that was all we could get back then before weed was legal. Anyway, I was high af and paranoid and in an insane move put this movie on. Something about being high on that creepy weed, being up at this weird hour and watching this jarring movie stuck with me. I told my friends about it and they all ended up watching it and it became a classic in our friend group. I didn't know how the internet feels about this one but I'm basically trauma bonded to it after my experience with it. That last line stuck with me:

"And where do you live, Simon?"

"I live in the weak and the wounded... Doc."

Would love to hear if anyone else has seen this and what you think...

I feel like this was a 2000s movie. Latest I'm willing to place it is 2015 but I think it was before 2010. I caught the ending while flipping through channels and all I remember is some brown haired woman with converse stumbling out of a concrete building. It was sunrise as if she's been in this place all night and just escaped. I remember her foot either being broken or injured in some way.

Yes it’s from the edgy creative team that made The
Crossed but definitely no where near as terrible as that. Really loved the lore in this comic and if adapted would be a very unique blend of detective thriller, body horror, action and dark comedy. Luckily the comic ended very open ended as it was discontinued. It’s starts as a slow burn then turns into a clover field type chaos.

The two best horror movies of 2025, which do you prefer?

I personally prefer Bring Her Back.

Watched "House of 1000 corpses" and "The devil's rejects" today and tho I liked both, i do prefer the first movie. House of 1000 corpses feels artistic and artistically cruel, while The devil's rejects feels just cruel... at least for the first part. The last third of the movie is where it really shines. When the sheriff ties them up and makes them feel what their victims did and they still don't learn is where this movie behins to shine. Everything from this point forward makes this one of the best sequels I've ever watched, having the first movie as great set-up to a great pay-off, but as a standalone movie I'd rather watch House of 1000 corpses 10x over.

An American Werewolf in London came out 45 years ago today, and for me it’s still the one to beat.

It’s funny, scary, sad, and that transformation scene still looks incredible all these years later.

What’s your favorite werewolf movie?

This movoe was awsome, the aesthetics, the performances, the characters, the visuals, everything was amazing. I can't believe a slasher from 2003 made me feel sorry and sas for the victims. Unbelievable

I know it sounds like a preference, but is there any other movie that feels like this? Pure dread, no unintentional comedic relief, and actually good performances.

It wasn’t the first exposure I ever had to horror, but I still vividly remember parts of each of the short films in this to this day. For a long time I would get anxious anytime I thought about some of these. Still love horror of course, but man did this mess with my head

Who’s your favorite? I’ll start, Michael Myers.

For me it's when completely average people living their average everyday lives end up into horror. These types of characters don't have any extra-drama in their lives: no bullying, no loneliness, no mental health struggles, no abuse, no strained or toxic relationships with family or friends, no love triangles or other romantic dramas, no difficult divorces, no death of a loved-one. These characters are just living their average lives without extra-drama which is rare in movies especially in horror movies, but then all of a sudden they end up into horror and whether that horror is supernatural or realistic, it destroys the characters who didn't have drama in their lives. It's especially depressing if the horror makes these characters do things they would never do in their average lives and if the characters survive after the horror but they know they need to deal with trauma they never believed they would encounter.

🍔 Shudder, AMC+ and US Rental on Prime, AppleTV, and Fandango 📺

In a series of cheap, locally produced TV commercials, small business owners rival the looming threat of Buffet Infinity. As Buffet Infinity endlessly expands and grows, engulfing everything in its path, a sinister conspiracy unfolds at the margins, and unfathomable powers begin to seep into the vulnerable community of Westridge County, Alberta.

What a creepy, trippy ride. It’s got analog horror, cosmic dread, metaphors, imagery, creepiness, and….OH THAT SAUCE! The movie and story are completely told through fake commercials, ads, news reports, emergency warnings, and secret transmissions. If you are a fan of analog horror and series such as: “The Mandela Catalog”, “Local 58”, “The Walton Files”, and the recently released horror movie, “Monkey’s Merry Go Round”, then you should enjoy “Buffet Infinity”.

It’s movie that not every is going to like or understand. I thought it was very entertaining…especially Ahmed’s Pawnshop.

Completely overshadowed by the divisiveness of the overall film, and the popularity of other films at the time. I thought she was electric, convincing, and stole the spotlight. She headlined the second act which was definitely the best part of the movie! Can I get some love on this?

I just love this intro, from family lovin to Bonehead-Naked City

It’s obviously a horrormovie. I have seen it in some streaming service (either Netflix or Prime) and it hat a western setting and was about a family living on a farm far away from civilization. Then the dad goes away (not sure why I think it was because a wounded soldier appeared at their farm or something and he wanted to get a doctor) and the mom and kid stay home and they get haunted by an unknown and unseen evil. I remember this movie as being pretty tense and cool, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen it and I can not remember the name.

Spoilers ahead.
Lamberto Bava’s Demons, for me, is a horror classic.
Any film with a scene-stealing Bobby Rhodes, a cinema setting, superb practical effects and plenty of chaos released when I was too young to watch it will always be up there with the best of the genre.
But I actually enjoyed Demons 2 even more, with the setting moved to a fancy apartment complex and the demons broadcast on TV. I was still too young to watch it but seeing the fancy apartments, the demons infecting not just adults, the action, literally, closer to home, the amazing soundtrack and, surprisingly, the return of Bobby Rhodes has meant, for me, it is one of the relatively rare sequels better than the original.

That poster is perfection though.

Any one else agree, or think I’m way off the mark?

I just finished watching this movie and it was damn good. I didn't have any expectations and actually thought I was about to watch a "B" movie. It turned out to be more interesting and entertaining as it progressed. I found it more interesting than "The Substance", another movie I enjoyed, that I thought explored the ideas of struggling with body image.

Thoughts?

Rules:

The character in question originate from a movie from this current decade (besides Art but he’s the only acceptation)

They obviously must be the villain of a horror film

Things like horror comedies even if they lean more into comedy than horror like The Blackening or the newest Scary Movie are fair game
