And also all the other stickys combined, and we are talking about 500+ of the best in horror, as decided by the best minds and critics here at HDC.
And, what did you have to say about that? Read below...
Like you said, you have been through ALL the Stickys and didnt find even ONE movie to fit your umm..."unique tongue", shall we say? :rolleyes:
And can you blame em for treating you the way they did, after you say THAT?
I think Chrono's comprehensive effort earlier above in this thread was a very good attempt at guiding you to some of the recommendation threads.
Yet your reply seems like you were totally regardless of the GENUINE efforts at guiding you at some of the best recs in HDC.
As for ribbing, every noob in every forum goes through it. Its not like anyone cussed you out or said any expletives in their posts...all they did was have some fun, which you realise yourself too, and bam! comes the reply ^ above. How can you expect anyone to help you with your "personalised unique selective (arrogant) taste" after all that?
Consider it carefully.
We here at HDC help out and ease in every new fan of horror. Unfortunately, once they find out their answers, they run and dont bother showing up again. Its happened so many times since the time HDC was made, that we have thinned out on accomodating any noobs who was first-timers in horror now.
There are stickies, there are threads...read em, and select your "particular choices". If none of these work, I suggest visiting a shrink who deals in "particular movie-watching habits".
Good Luck, "connoisseur" of "unique and particular" taste in movie-watching. |
I am SO in love with you. :D

nwe432 - We appreciate a n00b who is new to the horror genre reaching out, but you honestly have NO idea how many times people join the forum, ask for movies TO FIT THEIR EXACT TASTE and then leave.
It's like waking up
the morning after to an empty bed and your wallet's gone and you have clamidia.
DON'T GIVE US ANY MORE CLAMIDIA.

But seriously. Take a good look at the sub-genre thread. I've used it a few times to beef up my Netflix queue (introduced me to Spider Baby, Dog Soldiers, and Tenebre, to name a few). Going by sub-genres is a really good place to start.
Looking at the movies you listed in your first post, you're naming big budget horror which, generally, I absolutely hate.
If you're looking for some
indie horror movies, you should check out:
- Session 9
- Mulberry Street
- Crazy Eights
- May
- Borderland
- Bug
- FEAST
- Cloverfield
You seem to like Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth). Based on that, check out:
- The Devil's Backbone (not necessarily horror, it's more gothic but it's gorgeous and compelling; I actually liked it a lot better than Pan's Labyrinth)
- The Orphanage (this one I think you'll probably really like)
Other foreign horror favorites of mine:
- The Host
- Audition
- Gozu (very Lynch-like)
- Three... Extremes
- Inside
- Ils (Them)
- Zombie II (it's Italian, but English-language)
