am i the onlyone who really didnt like It Follows??? kind of found the whole premise dumb, to keep passing it on like that and all.


but goodnight mommy is a must!!!

i still have to see The Gift, and am so pumped for Crimson Peak!!!


Poltergeist remake was okay i guess, its tough to remake a great horror from the past like that, especially when it is geared for a younger more family aspect style.

Sinister 2 is just horrible, and same with Insidious 3 (i hated all the aspects of Insidious with the old woman and going into that "other world").


I havent seen The Visit yet... didnt look great, but what are peoples thoughts on it so far???

Youre not alone, OLO. I didn't care for it at all and consider to be the most absurdly hyped horror of the year.

I'm fairly hard to please I enjoyed it a lot. Shrug.

My opinion seems to be the minority view. It got great critical and fan reception, which totally baffled me, as I felt the film offered nothing new. It felt weak, like it had no foundation or something. But as you say, " shrug " . Different opinions are what make HDC interesting.

I dont know, I would have to give the nod to 2014. Overall both had some good work but nothing about either year as a whole overwhelmed me.

Really Oculus? Huh, I saw that in a empty theater alone and it still didn't get me. Normally I agree with you friend, not there.

I didn't consider Goodnight Mommy or The Gift horror. Maybe drama/thriller?

Oculus...besides Karen Gillan it had nothing in its favor.

I love seeing movies when the seats are empty! Oculus worked for me. Family connections are something I always like in films, and I think the suspense was handled tastefully, subtly even. The lead actress was easy to look at as well. Yeah, Oculus entertained me.

Goodnight Mommy is definitely a horror... obviously would gear it more towards a psychological horror though.

a lot of well set up scenes, and character connection, that emotionally and/or psychologically confuse, disturb, and even creep people out. torture aspects as well truly would disturb.

i read that a couple people actually passed out in the theaters, as well as some critics got up and actually left the theater at some points (not because it was a bad movie either)



The Gift, I heard was more like an intense movie, not sure cause I not seen it yet, but am excited to do so.
