    Drama featuring Murderous Psychopath end of the "Horror" spectrum

    Love Lies Bleeding is one of the best new movies I've seen.  Bit of a stretch to call it horror, but in the same way that Killer Joe is.

    I watched Terrifier last night to see what all the hype was about. It was...OK, I guess. The guy who plays Art is phenomenal, and I appreciated the whole '80s slasher flick aesthetic, but it kinda felt like less than the sum of its parts. Am I missing something?

    It’s not just you. I remember thinking that maybe I’m just too old…?

    Wife and I watched Warlock from 1991 and it is definitely “so bad it’s good” in the most positive way. We laughed out loud.  it wasn’t remotely frightening, but unlike a lot of these movies we weren’t bored either.

    I like unintentional comedy in gory movies but I don't bother with "horror comedy". For example, as Bill listed, the first two Hellraisers will put unpleasant images in your head and hopefully fuel a nightmare right after. However, the third and others after jumped the shark and admittedly made me laugh at times.

    Yeah, I'm probably just too old. It's the kind of trash I liked much more in my younger days, but now I'm just too "meh" about it.

    I saw "Basket case" for the 2nd time recently, the first time being on a bootleg VHS back in the 80s.

    The dialogue samples were used in some early 90s drum and bass tune and they are the best thing about it.  It is at times comical.

    The psychological ones get me the worst.  My capacity for tension is almost non-existent after working a day full of stress.  I'd rather watch "Beyond Skinwalker Ranch" and ponder the real-life questions this world has to offer.

    Gotta get value for money from that tinfoil hat Harvey sold me.
