My primary media consumption is horror so I am excited for this post!
Late Night with the Devil got me to watch Ghostwatch (1992) and that was fantastic. The mockumentary style of Ghostwatch also got me to watch Phoenix Forgotten (2017) and The Phoenix Incident (2015), both of which are decent. I love horror movies so I think my grading curve is a bit extreme.
For recent movies: Abigail (2024) was way more fun than I expected. The First Omen (2024) was also way better than I anticipated. Tarot (2024) was no bueno.
I think Talk to Me (2023) is probably the best horror movie to come out in a long while if you haven't already seen it.
Gonna give them a shot. I really want to watch Talk to Me, but I think the hype that was made around it made me avoid it.
The first Omen was good, I really enjoyed it. It's pretty unsettling, and I loved how they used pratical effects.
What is turning me down from lot's of horror movies is how fake the special effects are. Pratical effects are waaaaay more convincing.
