Hey now, that's legitimately one of my favorite movies. The troll designs were solid, as were their execution. Plus if you took out the comedy aspect, you'd have a pretty dope horror flick.

>>18490751
That movie actually scared the shit out of me when I was little.

>>18490604
They Live is one of my favorite movies and I'm convinced that it's one of the greatest movies of all time; plus, it's more relevant than ever. Everything about it is a critique of our mass media and corporation controlled society.

That fight scene is like one of the longest in movie history and corny af. Lol. Loved it and Rowdy Roddy Piper. ah sweet memories.

>>18491111
Really good movie.

Invasion of the body snatchers it's similar, theme wise.

>>18491111
>checked
In 12th grade I did a presentation about how all the literature we read that year related to another piece of media (They Live). It's a corny fight scene, but it's better than most modern action. Especially since it actually symbolizes an internal conflict.

>>18490599

Naked Lunch, mind bending psychedelic/surreal noir by Cronenberg, explores some interesting themes of transcending consciousness, you'll notice them if you're already somewhat familiar with some of the concepts.

burroughs is a genius all on his own, but burroughs + cronenberg is just awesome
read the book too if it intrigues you, it's way more expensive as the movie was only based on the narrative of a few vignettes in the book grouped loosely together

Pet Sematary is a good movie

>>18490596
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFP11bA0eUI
here's a good shortfilm. About one minute.

My tipical suggestions

Next of kin (1984)

The shawn brothers black magic series

Boxer's Omen

Black magic, black magic 2

Hex (1980)

Asian black magic movies are thug life, take that into consideration.

So Trump supporters. And don't call me a fucking shill, the only people who are shills are idiots who were conned by Trump. The literal stupidest fucking people on the planet.

Pleb.

Every time this thread comes up, no one mentions The Bobadook.

Come on, people, it's a great movie!

>>18490812

We generally refer to that version of The Thing as the John Carpenter version, not the Kurt Russell version.

Best version either way. Arguable best horror movie.

>>18496197
Just shut the fuck up, for crying out loud. Your movie IQ is obviously too low to be commenting on a movie like this. Stick to VHS and Lake Mungo, or whatever you plebeians worship around here.

The Kettering Incident is a TV show that came out recently.

Far from perfect but definitely worth the ride.

It's X Files meets Top of the Lake.

>>18498433
I saw it and thought it was shit. More than scary the babadook just made me laugh out of how ridiculous it was. The script is dumb and the monster is not frightening, just annoying

The Banshee Chapter. Literally /x/ the movie.

>>18498433
Is Bobadook as good as some of the old stuff, or is it not just as shit as the new stuff.

I fucking love The Thing, watch it a couple times a year at least.

Wilford Brimley before the Diabeetus ads
a good actor for sure.

I wish there were more movies like those old ones when they took bigger risks.
Nowadays I can't be arsed to go the movies anymore because they are mostly complete garbage.

>>18498464
You're missing out on all those similar movies that are produced every year by the same people who produced Paranormal Activity.

>>18498454
Take your pills Donny

>>18498480

however I do need to see those new Werner Herzog movies those are always interesting.
Some are scary in their own way, though I dunno if he ever did a horror movie prolly not.

I'm going to hijack this thread, how about some good /x/ related documentaries?

>>18498755
There's a silent documentary called Haxen that's about witchcraft. It's got recreations of what witch ceremonies would be like and stuff. I honestly haven't watched it yet and a documentary being silent seems kind of weird to me but it's worth a look at at least.

I did watch The Midnight Special recently. Not a "scary" movie, but it had its moments. It's just so very /x/ in the subject/story. And the acting of Joel Edgerton and Michael Shannon is fantanstic, as always. The kid and Kirsten Dunst are great, too. Highly recommend.

I just don't think there IS anything "like Twin Peaks", anon. David Lynch has made some crazy movies, but they don't have the warmth/humor of TP (in general, and take my opinion for what it's worth. I loved TP, but can't into/don't like Lynch films, though I appreciate them and his genius. Fire Walk with Me is the Twin Peaks movie, of course.)

Have you seen Carnivale? that old, really strange HBO show? I recommend that for you!

Also, Twin Peaks is coming back (to Showtime)

Thanks, anon.

BTW, for anons who may not be familiar, Top of the Lake is a mystery drama from NZ that was highly acclaimed: a girl goes missing, the star (Peggy from Mad Men) is an investigator. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but very worth watching if you think it's something you'd like.

You guys will appreciate the opening of The Pervert's Guide to Ideology by Slavoj Žižek (Slovenian psychoanalytic philosopher, cultural critic, and Hegelian Marxist)

And his analysis of the reality/ideology goggles, and what the fight scene represents. I believe he likens it to Plato's allegory of the cave, iirc, been a while.

His lisp + accent and general pace of speaking (plus the sniffing) may take some getting used to (if you're new to Zisez, just saying).
