damn, you'd think a movie about a giant dude wearing a mask made of human leather swinging a chainsaw around would be an easy layup for a good horror film smh You'd be better off watching one of those Hatchet movies than the remake.

what's on your list for spooktober? I'm seeing Steven Soderbergh's new ghost movie Presence at Beyond Fest, I would add Terrifier 3 if I wasn't going to see it in less than 2 weeks. I haven't really started on making a list but I do try to watch stuff I haven't seen Some potential titles (based off my Letterboxd watchlist and ability to find the title) The Vourdalak The Cremator Smile Before Death Death Walks At Midnight Grave Robbers Nightmare City Cannibal Man Dark Waters If anyone can find a copy of Hollywood 90028 or A Woman's Torment, please holler Some good stuff on that list!! I saw Hollywood 90028 at Fantasia this summer and it rocked my socks off. Horror meets arthouse in a way I hadn't really seen before, the last shot was absolutely incredible. Already bought the blu-ray which should be shipping in a couple weeks.

making a list of movies I wanna watch for spooktober and I realized I haven't done a proper rewatch of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. I haven't watched anything since Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Beginning, I have to watch 3D, Leatherface, and the 2022 remake. The OG is a classic for a reason, and I have a soft spot for the sequel and the Jessica Biel remake. Was the 2022 remake good No. I'm going to lose all credibility here, but I actually like The Next Generation. McConaughey's bat shit crazy performance elevates it for me. I also love part 2. Original is obviously a stone cold classic. Not into the rest.

The 2022 one was a legacy sequel, with with big time Halloween 2018 rip off energy by brining back the final girl from the original. I’d give it like a 3/10 being charitable.

Yeah, 2 is a completely silly, doesn’t-need-to-exist sequel but definitely entertaining.

I absolutely love tcm 1, 2, 3, next generation, and the 2003 remake. I enjoyed 2022- it was goofy but pretty fun. I really fucking hated Texas Chainsaw 3D and hope everyone involved in it has a horrible future

I was never able to get into Next Generation even though the VHS cover scared me as a kid. The sequel was so over the top and campy, but that dinner scene was creepy as fuck lol. Tobe Hooper's other movie, Toolbox Murders, from 2005 also has that cool over the top horror style and it really works in that movie.

Alright foos drop the scariest/disturbing movies you can think of. I don't like edgelord shit like August Underground and A Serbian Film, but I don't mind gore, just as long as it has a plot. I fw late 2000's/early 2010's eastern euro horror flicks, new French extreme, Japanese ghost movies, and those bleak horror movies where its not really gore, but still fucked up and it leaves you with a feeling of dread.

Descent into Darkness. I’ve seen near everything anyone would ever tell you is scary or unsettling (besides A Serbian Film or Cannibal Holocaust which I refuse to watch on principal) and very little stayed with me but this one fucked me up bad. Don’t read or watch anything beforehand, just go in blind.

I feel like you’ll already be familiar with the best examples. I think most of the stuff I can recommend is either edgelord shit (Melancholie der Angel, Tumbling Doll of Flesh, Hate Crime, Guinea Pig series), or the more common stuff like Martyrs, Eden Lake, Angst, etc. some recent ones I’ve enjoyed are The Golden Glove, and Morris County (this one is a little more light-hearted)

I’ve never hear of Descent into Darkness, Hate Crime, or the Golden Glove so I added them to my list. Thanks!

I mean, Funny Games is such an obvious answer that one could face ridicule for mentioning it.

Funny Games is the gold standard for unsettling movies that leave you with a dreadful feeling. It’s that, Benny’s Video, Eden Lake, and og Wicker Man.

Them (ils) wasn’t the same quality of movie as the cream of the crop, but I found it very intense the first time. Second time, less so.

Oh shit do y’all remember that Kevin Smith movie about the kid’s clown that gets raped? That movie was weirdly unsettling and it wasn’t trying to be. There’s movies like Happiness or early Yorgos Lanthimo films where they’re supposed to have that unsettling vibe to them, well Kevin Smith did it better, but on accident.

Also, and I may get ridiculed for this but I'm right, 1408 is one of the most creepy and unsettling movies of the last 30 years.
It's such a fucking good descent-into-madness/unreliable narrator film that does an incredible job of being just one step to the left or right of what your expectations for the next thing to happen are. And that song playing on the clock-radio is a better jump scare than almost anything in the Conjuring universe.

The Sadness hands down the most fucked up thing I ever watched. Martyrs is up there too. Funny games is the shit.

Martyrs, Inside, and Calvaire were all somewhat disturbing the first time I watched them.
The Taking of Deborah Logan, too.

Yeah The Sadness really fucked me up. I’ve never read the graphic novel it was based on but I hear it’s even more fucked up than the Sadness.

I stopped watching The Sadness during the stabbing scene on the subway or train. My daughter was sleeping on me and it just didn’t sit well.

I haven’t watched Bliss or the Taking of Deborah Logan so I added that one to the list. Thanks!
Side note: I’m watching Civil War right now, this is the most apolitical political movie of the last decade. I dislike most of the central characters and it’s painfully predictable. I liked what Garland did with Ex Machina and Annihilation, but I haven’t liked his last two films.

I thought Civil War rocked. And Men was darn good, but not a movie that’s particularly interested in being loved I’d say.
