Man twitter is really harshing my buzz with the new Alien, but I am going to just continue my assumption that most of film twitter are fucking morons.

"Film twitter" is such a weird thing (based off everybody's own feed I suppose?) because I've seen far more praise for 'Megalopolis' than condemnation.
Seems like the consensus for 'Alien Romulanus' is the horror movie stuff lands but the trying-to-be-a-franchise-movie stuff falters. Excited to see regardless. Love them aliens.

I also watched 'Terrifier' (2016) last night... no fun to be had, just mean spirited violence. Not even sure if there was suspense? Not for me. Don't watch the sequel. |

Both movies rock real hard. Can’t wait for more total depravity in the upcoming Terrifier 3

Terrifier 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Terrifier and it’s not close.
This isn’t a Terminator/T2 or Alien/Aliens situation. The original is inferior to the sequel in every quantifiable and objective way.

I will agree with this. Just the fact dude made a 138 min slasher and absolutely pulled it off is a big accomplishment |

I've actually only watched 2 so that's good to know The post by thezman was spot on honestly. Terrifier does just feel incredibly fucking mean-spirited and it’s not fun whatsoever. Terrifier 2, despite being more violent and audacious genuinely does (in a depraved kind of way) feel fun. Art has an actual personality, the final girl is fantastic and very easy to root for and it’s just got a vibe to it that belies the wanton butchery you see. Super fucking excited for 3 this fall. |

1960s: Eyes Without A Face
1970s: Alien
1980s: The Thing
1990s: The Exorcist III
2000s: Let The Right One In
2010s: Get Out
2020s: Nope
'80s are the best, '90s are the worst. I haven't watched enough '50s, '40s, etc., movies to pick a favorite.

Nobody is going to hold to your answers, we're just having fun posting on the BIL :)
(I also won't give anybody a hard time for their choices. Unless they're bad. Then you're fucked. I will kill you with my words here.)

Horror is a suuuuuper fickle genre and I rarely ever go into any one with expectations of actually being scared or seeing some cinematic masterpiece. I'm doing 3 picks and an honorable mention/wild card recommendation.
I'm so down for a film thread horror discussion outside of the horror thread because a lot of our tastes do tend of overlap. Leaving so much off this list but kind of going with movies I enjoy, actually rewatch and not always the best.
1960's: Night of the Living Dead, The Last Man on Earth, Comedy of Terrors (Honorable Mention: Targets)
1970's: Dawn of the Dead, The Legend of Boggy Creek, Last House on the Left (Honorable Mention: Duel)
1980's: The Thing, The Blob, Monster Squad (Honorable Mention: The Stepfather)
1990's: Exorcist 3, In The Mouth of Madness, Cure (Honorable Mention: Fire in the Sky)
2000's: The Hills Have Eyes, Pulse, Trick R' Treat, Dawn of the Dead (Honorable Mention: Pontypool)
2010's: Starry Eyes, Tales of Halloween, The Battery (Honorable Mention: Grave Encounters)
2020's: The Empty Man, Pearl, Watcher, (Honorable Mention: The Wolf of Snow Hollow)

Boggy Creek is really fun and kind of ahead of it's time. The Battery had like a $5k budget and managed to be one of the best zombie films I've seen. The actor/director also did After Midnight that is pretty good. I'm so ready for October 31 nights of spookies. |

I thought Terrifier absolutely sucked shit. The second one wasn’t necessarily my thing either, but there is one sequence that made me laugh harder than a movie had made me laugh in years. It’s also like 3 hours long though lol |

I didn't like Terrifier at all but thought Terrifier 2 was a blast. The scene in the costume shop is so funny and the absurdity of the gore is so over the top.
Sort of enjoyed it on a pure technical level with the effects and silliness but absolutely see how it's hated.

Sorry to be that guy, but I had to pick four per decade
60s: Rosemarys Baby, Black Sunday, Carnival of Souls, NOTLD
70s: Texas Chainsaw, Suspiria, Halloween, The Exorcist
80s: The Fly, The Thing, Demons, Evil Dead
90s; Jacob’s Ladder, Audition, Scream, Exorcist 3
00s: House of the Devil, Ginger Snaps, 28 Days Later, the Descent
10s: It Follows, The Witch, Hereditary, Annihilation
Best decade: 1970s. I love the 80s and it is a bottomless well of good horror, but the 70s wins on a quality vs quantity well. Texas Chainsaw and Exorcist are THE two best horror films ever imo.
Worst decade: I gotta go 2000s. There is some great stuff in there that I really love, but there is SO much bullshit. The 90s is spotty too, but there is some great unsung stuff from the first half of the decade.
