"Don't Go into the F***ing Attic" on Shudder is so hilariously bad I'm still trying to make sense of it the next day; if you're trying to write horror (like me) and suffer with low self-confidence (like me) watch it! I promise you it will make you feel like you are God
Not to derail this thread, but if you don’t mind me asking, what made you shift from poetry to horror?
trauma lol
I love, consume and (try to) write both
I always loved horror very selectively, since The X-Files and The Blair Witch Project, but I thought I wasn't a "horror fan" because I didn't care about the Universal Monsters or 80s camp slashers
then like five or six years ago my good friend Dee started to tell me "if you like... then you'll like..." a bunch of times, write me lists, and I was hooked; 2014 was an amazing year to throw myself in
I wasn't joking when I said trauma lol but suffice it to say I was going through a lot, and I fell in love with its therapeutic value
I'm currently writing what I think is going to be a YA-ish verse novel in the horror genre

I just watched "The Field Guide to Evil", an anthology of 8 stories based on folk tales from different international directors; I really liked it, which pleases me greatly both because I adore folk horror and Shudder content has been really ropey lately

Harmless, have you seen Gareth Evan’s “Apostle”?

Son.
Jesus, that was wonderful! I was interesting on this one, but i can tell you guys this is s must. Its super well shot, beautiful framing and gorgeous photography, super moody and bloody. Andi Matichak is a star really i cant wait to see her on Halloween Kills.

I suppose this would fit here, watched the 2008 doc H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer on Prime last night.I never read much around Rob Zombie's influences for House of 1,000 Corpses and the characters but I could see the possibility of the Firefly house and Dr. Satan as relative corollaries.

I saw Chris Stuckmann recommend "The Empty Man" as a hidden gem that nobody saw and is rated poorly by many people, but is actually highly ambitious and "deserves a cult following"
so I watched it last night, and he was right; at 2.5 hours long I wouldn't normally dream of watching any movie at that length, but this kept me gripped and at the edge of my seat; it didn't feel over-long at all; I really liked it
also, it seemed like kind of a contemporary love letter to "The Wicker Man", which I appreciated
it's funny, absurd, tense, beautifully shot, and scary, with a few set pieces that blew me away

sorry, this thing
well now that you mention this, yes there were moments were the dialogue was super low. But it was super noticeable, and it didnt hurt the fact that the movie is great.

fuuuck i didnt know about that doc but ill check it out!
I also been wanting to see Rob´s House of 1,000 Corpses again and the last Texas Chainsaw movie.
That's funny because I think Leatherface (2017) is what a Texas Chainsaw film would look like if Rob Zombie directed it, rather than just ripping TCM films off in his own. I hated it.
