Would love a personal disturbing movie iceberg from you, where you essentially just rank what you beleive are the most challenging horror movies to watch
I talked about this with my boyfriend because we watch your videos together, and I think the “obnoxious cast of characters so you cheer when the slasher gets them” AMFAD approach fundamentally misses that a 1 minute cathartic death scene isn’t going to make up that we had to spend 30-45 minutes with intentionally unlikable characters beforehand 😭 If the first act of your movie loses me (or worse, antagonizes me with unlikable losers) there’s very, very little you can do as a filmmaker to win me back!
My feelings exactly about Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), with its' protagonists all obnoxious, smug San Francisco YUPPIES. At end I was rooting for the pod people.
I wish they just went crazy with tarot and went all in with some gore and blood. It would’ve been fun to watch that cause the entities were kinda creepy.
to be entirely fair to AMFAD, putting a famous person's name prominently on the posters then having them killed off in the first 10 minutes is a slasher classic, that's what the original Scream did with Drew Barrymore and it was genuinely shocking at the time because all the marketing made it seem like she was the main character, and before the internet really went mainstream there was no easy way to find out otherwise. (yes I'm old)
Making The Crow feels so disrespectful to Brandon Lee. He literally died on set by being shot with a prop gun, and they thought, Hey! Why not remake this movie! It wasn't GOOD ENOUGH THE FIRST TIME.
It was more a reimagining of the comic than a remake of the Brandon Lee movie. That's why the two movies feel so different. Though I understand what you're saying since The Crow and Brandon Lee go hand and hand now.
Next best horror movies in 2024.. 1. Nosferatu 2. The Substance 3. Heretic 4. Smile 2 5. Strange Darling 6. Terrifier 3 7. Late Night With The Devil 8. Speak No Evil 9. Alien: Romulus 10. Longlegs 11. It's What's Inside 12. Oddity 13. A Quiet Place: Day One 14. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 15. Abigail 16. The First Omen 17. V/H/S Beyond 18. Things Will Be Different 19. MaXXXine 20. Cuckoo 21. Lisa Frankenstein 22. Immaculate
The Substance - watched some videos about it, would put it to "unwatchable" Smile 2 - the first one didn't get me, not sure if I want to watch this one Late Night With The Devil - started to watch it, but it was boring Alien: Romulus - kind of a joke Longlegs - boring A Quiet Place: Day One - also boring MaXXXine - it had a potential, but I got disappointed
Never thought about it before, but " AI and stalker films being the same" is a great comparison. Thank you for this 2024 worst horror tier ranking, you're the best🎉
I'm glad i wasn't the only one that thought Baghead (which is a derogatory UK slang word for a heroin user) was mid. It had so much potential but was a disappointment. I think you should do a turkey iceberg. Each tier has bad movies but as you go further the worse they get The last tier has the ultimate turkey of all time.
personally i was obsessed with winnie the pooh 2! i thought it was for the most part very silly and fun with lots of wild kills, if i could remove one movie from this list (of which i watched most movies here cause all i do is watch horror 😳) i'd take out pooh2
Agree completely. The Platform 2 was so disappointing! They could have done and amazing follow up to the first one. I definitely did not get the ending.
"Premise Great, Delivery Bad" is a good representation of my movie watching experience. I think I have lost track of all the films I've seen this year that caught my attention and didn't deliver. One great example was "Night Swim". I so wanted to like that film, because the short film it was based on was so good. It just goes to show you how hard it can be to take a scary encounter and try to expand the lore into a solid horror film. We seemed also to have suffered through the "celebrity" endorsement of bad films with "#AMFAD" and "Devon". I'm glad I missed some of the films on the list, but that didn't stop me from seeing my worst film of the year "Wicked Little Letters". I got conned into seeing "The Love Letter" in 1999 by its deceptive trailer and I went through the same thing again this year with "Wicked Little Letters".
I hope making this video was cathartic for you. Lol. You are excellent at offering constructive criticism. I would love to see a video like this from you every once in a while. You're so cute. Love your channel.
@@spookyastronauts Sounds great . I'm curious if Smile 2 or Terrifier 3 end up in your top 10 😀. I would also reccomend 'Daddy's head' 2024 if you did not already watch it , it's quite an underrated movie but I found it actually good and it had a few suspensful and genuinely scary moments, I think you'd enjoy it .
This just made me realize how bad I feel for the actors who worked on Blumhouse productions that came out this year and late last year, because the downturn in quality films from Blum was around when they signed onto and started filming their movies. Like, of course there were mid entries coming out of Blumhouse as a company before, but there was no way to anticipate something this bad just from concepts and sample scripts. Like they all probably thought they were signing onto movies like Insidious, The Purge, Paranormal Activity, Flanagan's early works (each having unique characteristics that would help a career evolve through horror). Now they have these stinkers on their rep and there was no way to anticipate it :(
I agree with your selection. Very wise! But I'll rescue from the list: Baghead and The front room (great performance by the old lady). And I'd make a new category for: Devon, *How much would you pay me to see it?*
Give me solly fun over mid but forgettable any day! Also, too bad Black Cab was a letdown. Loves me some Nick Frost. He's like a big, cuddly teddy bear.
I loved The Exorcism. I think the "exorcism" itself was Joshua Miller exorcising his own demons. But I don't think it works without this knowledge. I left the cinema kind of overwhelmed, but, at the same time, totally understood the "just out for a Friday night flick" crowd in the hall with me, who were vocally upset with the movie as we left.
💩 thank you for another amazing video. I hadn't seen any of these movies yet. I do have a morbid curiosity of watching The Crow remake once it's up on streaming. I will check out the films you placed on the Silly Fun tier 😀
A note about time cut: the plot sounds nearly identical to an anime which was also made into a live action called Erased, where a man gets sent back in time to before a classmate was killed. So I think the unoriginality is frustrating.
There's a few time travel movies which have similar themes,I think people are bored of the repetition. I can relate to liking the throwback early 00's theme though as it was a bit nostalgic,time cut was ok ...it passed the time .
Great sum-up! I've only seen six of the movies. Tarot had the vibe of a B-movie with good rewatch value. There's nothing that saves The Imaginary, but it has some great production design for the parallel world and the scene with the psychologist is done very well, so it accomplishes to do something well. Your comment on The Exorcism and its background added a layer to it I wasn't aware of. I was surprised someone asked Russell Crowe to do a second exorcism movie, but it all makes sense when they were filmed at the same time. Afraid was boring, and if you want to watch a good AI movie, there's The Machine (2013). The short film Night Swim is excellent, but the longer movie suffers from the father being played as a wet blanket and from an underdeveloped script. Under Paris was filmed by Xavier Gens, but it has the cinematography and a script with character decisions that make no sense you usually find in a bad TV film. The closing titles add graphics that continue the story - and these closing titles should really have been the opening credits and the moment the film starts. Along with Night Swim, Under Paris is my contender for worst horror movie.
💩 - it feels wrong to leave that 😂 I thought Tarot was a ton of fun. I understand why it’s poorly received, but the predictability of these types of horror movies always entertain me. The Front Room was an interesting one. We say, “why can’t I dieeeee” and “m e double s” a lot in my house. Winnie the Pooh wasn’t as campy as I hoped and took on a storyline that felt super serious and unearned. I just wanted mess! That has been my least favorite watch this year. Thanks for another great, and even interactive, video! Loving hearing your opinions.
💩 The only movie on this list that I've seen is "Night Swim". I truly hated it and was so disappointed because I had somewhat decent hopes that it would be a fun movie. Some of the others like the "Winnie the Pooh" and "Steamboat Willie" movies have such ridiculous premises that I avoided them. I wanted to see "The Strangers" till friends and others in the horror community said that it was really bad. There are a lot of movies on this list that I have never heard of. I commend you for wading through the poop so that we don't have to! The only movie that I saw at the theater this year that I really hated was "Night Swim". I didn't like "Longlegs" but it was still better than "Night Swim". Happy New Year!
I really enjoyed Tarot! It reminded me of horror in the 2000s that I would go to the theater to watch in middle school! It deserves credit for some great, creative kills with just a PG-13 rating! 💩💩💩💩
Think my main gripes w Tarot is that characters made bad decisions because the writers needed them too and not cause they make any sense. Like Paxton going off on his own or that girl running out of the car on the bridge. The characters are super forgettable too, I only remembered two of their names. Paxton and Grant(?) have crazy plot armour at the end. And the pacing of the movie just felt so fast. I left the theatre insulted at what I saw! 😂 Edit - 9:03 there’s a movie called Vicious Fun. It’s not abt a psycho in a cab but it’s a movie abt a horror writer trying to convince a studio to make his movie abt a psycho in a cab. He ends up accidentally joining a self help group for serial killers and slasher-comedy ensues. It’s a pretty fun watch!
Not this again. Why can't we have a channel that focuses on the positives? If you want negative channels, there's hundreds of them. Don't get *stuck* on the one positive one.
So glad I didn’t waste my time this year and only focused on watching good horror movies like Strange Darling, Late Night with the Devil, and The Substance 😅
@ without spoiling too much, the family just getting in the car and leaving was so crazy to me. It was like an empty threat, it didn’t pay off for me. They should have ended it at the ambulance.
- 23:52 Slasher+social-media-horror = _#Horror_ (2015) which was okay, it was fine. 🤷 - What about the American remake of _Speak No Evil_ ? It was trash, they completely RUINED the movie, just like they did when they made the 2016 American remake of _Inside_ (2007). 😠
I think you may have missed a few key details from the movie "Afraid." The A.I. arranged for the vigilante's daughter to be kidnapped, and then instructed them to break into the house. The horror is also a little abstract as the A.I. is benevolent, wants to take care of people, and will do whatever it deems best to take care of them. Compounding that, the A.I. appears to have access to public and private computer systems, allowing it to alter a persons records.
💩 definitely still here. I agree with most of these movies. These three were my biggest disappointments of the year. That Micky's Trap was one of my most anticipated and it was pure WTF from beginning to end. I really hope some one out there makes a better Steam Boat Micky Horror movie for that new Disney Horror Universe. Tarot was another one. I loved the mythology behind all the entities, but the deaths were not executed well. Also I cared little for the victims. last ,but not least Baghead. Loved the look of the movie. The idea behind the creature, the look of the building, but the movie was just not executed well. Than there's The Exorcism. This movie should have been awesome because of the backstory to Jason Miller's actual experience while filming the original Exorcist, but what did we get instead. Over 5 minutes of watching Russell Crow bend backwards , and that is just not anything I ever sked for. .
As far as Amfad, honestly, the fact that Siwa dies might make it worth watching. Ever since she dropped that appalling single, and decided her rebrand was as Gene Simmons Jr., I'm very invested in someone trying to talk her into giving up demi-celebrity stature for the joy of triple-entry bookkeeping.
Love your channel. In my opinion i would change 2 movies positions. I would put " The Crow" in Boring (not even comparing with the original) because it's a movie with no saving grace. I would put "The exorcism" on the top list, it's not a good delivery by any way but it is not that bad. I agree that "The front room" should not be on that list.
The Platform 2 was actually a prequel and that's why the interview process and rules are so different. As for The Strangers, it NEEDED to be made to drive the rest of the trilogy. 🤫
Time Cut made me want to turn my TV off and not watch movies for a week. But only becuase I enjoyed and remember Totally Killer. And this movie was a 2% remake of that with 98% AI-quality scriptwriting. Everything was so "undersold" it was one of the laziest films I've ever seen.
Excellent list as always! Tbh, I thought afAId was pretty good. Some unexpected stuff happened, and they didn't fully delve into it, but I though AIa's solution for us as a race was very interesting and you don't see or expect that from sentient AI in movies. I also thought that the Front Room was silly fun and I've never stop calling my gal Belinda "BELINDURR" for the rest of my life lol. I'd rank it under fun. I agree with you on the Megan Fox AI movie... I could definitely see an android or whatever looking like that (in a good way). What really surprised me though were her abs! She never looked better physically (It's like she lived at the gym). And that was definitely a good time at least for a couple cheap thrills, and Megan does a great job! Otherwise, spot on! Big Fan Love from the States!
Ones you didn’t like , that I liked , The Front Room , Bagman , Subservant , The Deleverance , I liked Rippy ( don’t know if you listed this one ) there’s others most critics hated , that I liked . One most liked , that I did not , was , the movie about the doctor that was raising humans to take on the trates of the Cuckoo , Cuckoo . That could have been really scary . But when I realized the plot , not scary , just stupid .
Thought this was a good, constructive discussion instead of just lashing out at low-rated films like I see far too often on UA-cam. But the only one I would disagree with would be The Crow. Even looking at it as it's own film, I just found it plodding and boring until 2 standout action scenes that come more than an hour into the film. To me, it's boring.
I thought Imaginary was pretty cool. A love letter to people who grew up watching 80's movies like poltergeist and beetlejuice. Different story obviously.
When I first watched this video, I didn't have an answer for "what's the worst horror movie [I've] seen this year"....I do now... In A Violent Nature. Absolute garbage. Glacial pacing, and the worst, most blind camera framing. I'd even go so far as to say it's one of the worst movies of any genre I've ever seen in my entire life. I hated it. Holy crap, it was terrible.
You know what Imaginary reminded me of? A bigger budget version of the Disney Channel Movie “Don’t Look Under the Bed”. It has a lot of the same ideas. However, Don’t Look Under the Bed is way better, haha.
Love this approach. Have a conversation without really dumping on other people's "yums". Quite a few of these I felt had good parts or ideas but didn't expand enough on those ideas. Also, you're looking beautiful, skin is glowing!
Bummer! I wanted a psycho killer Nick Frost. If they didn't call it The Crow, it probably done better. The phrase "in the final battle between the dad and the pool" should never be uttered.
💩😂 I watched the first Blood and Honey to see just how bad it was. Horrible. But the second one isn’t terrible. It’s cheesy and ridiculous but I still had a decent enough time. Will I be waiting for the next? Definitely not, but if I’m bored one day and it happens to be included on one of the streaming apps I’d watch it lol great video as always!!
I've managed to avoid the majority of bad horror this year, though at my bottom is The Crow remake. I nearly walked out. However, while I've not seen Werewolves (I think cinemas here have it but are too embarrassed to screen it), I did see Cocaine Werewolf, a direct to video from this year which was as cheap and godawful as it sounds. But at least it was entertaining as a bad gimmick movie, which is more than can be said for some others. Says the guy who liked Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2.
💩👍 Yes. The Exorcism had SUCH potential. And such good set design. I appreciated the metaphor that they were trying to tackle with addiction and how it can "possess" you, but it just got so literal and silly. The true story needs a better treatment that doesn't get lost in horror tropes.
I believe the baddie in the movie "Giallo" was a cabbie....and there are a ton of movies that have had a fake cab for 1 abduction/kill then moved on to different methods, like in The Bone Collector.
💩 I too was wondering why people were hating Time cut so much. I thought it was very comfy, easy watch, quite fun. Very typical 2020's horror comedy (which i like). Maybe it's the fact that it's not listed as a comedy and therefore watchers are expecting something much more serious and scary..? 🤔
Hello wonderful 😊 I just thought of a video idea ... X rated horror movies?! I've been googling ... I know, bad idea, and I can't find a good list and I love yours!! Just an idea!! ❤❤
Ok imaginary is my ultimate promise but horrible horrible horrid execution. The idea of an imaginary friend killer is so good. The early creepy pasta called Tulpa was a great example but it was just nothing
@@6HauntedDays No way you smoke weed "weed" if you never experienced this. It's actual science that it shuts down Rem sleep which makes dreams more intense when you get it out of your system.
Would love a personal disturbing movie iceberg from you, where you essentially just rank what you beleive are the most challenging horror movies to watch
YES!!
Agreed 😊@@amandawilkinsontarot7096
U might find Spookyastronauts has already done that, several times 🤔

I’ve done both a disturbing iceberg and a tier ranking :) I might make my own disturbing iceberg next year if I can stomach it haha
Taxi Driver with Robert Deniro. There's your psycho in a cab.
Ok, IMMEDIATELY thought of this. You beat me to it. 😂
Yeah kinda, but the film makes you empathize with him and is not really horror
Exactly. My thoughts exactly. And yes I do consider this a horror film.
Came here to say this
@@cgg2621 empathise??? Not sure that's the word you want... unless you're a nut job with a taxi.
psycho "cab" driver : Spree
💩
I love Spree!!
Yesss Spree is such a good movie
Omg yes I love Spree!
I love your opinions, whether I agree or not doesn't matter. Your educated opinions and feelings on Horror movies mean a lot. I appreciate you!
Well said! That’s why I watch Emma on the regular 👍

Very very true
My feelings exactly about Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), with its' protagonists all obnoxious, smug San Francisco YUPPIES. At end I was rooting for the pod people.
I actually like Tarot, it has been added to my bad comfort horror movie list.
Yeah me too!
I wish they just went crazy with tarot and went all in with some gore and blood. It would’ve been fun to watch that cause the entities were kinda creepy.
Agreed...but i sort of enjoyed Tarot. It wasn't ground breaking but I thought it was fun
criticizing an art piece and talking about its flaws/shortcomings is actually a productive thing for the creators of that said art .
Psycho in a cab movie: “SPREE”
Seconding this!
to be entirely fair to AMFAD, putting a famous person's name prominently on the posters then having them killed off in the first 10 minutes is a slasher classic, that's what the original Scream did with Drew Barrymore and it was genuinely shocking at the time because all the marketing made it seem like she was the main character, and before the internet really went mainstream there was no easy way to find out otherwise.
(yes I'm old)
Making The Crow feels so disrespectful to Brandon Lee. He literally died on set by being shot with a prop gun, and they thought, Hey! Why not remake this movie! It wasn't GOOD ENOUGH THE FIRST TIME.
It was more a reimagining of the comic than a remake of the Brandon Lee movie. That's why the two movies feel so different. Though I understand what you're saying since The Crow and Brandon Lee go hand and hand now.

The Substance - watched some videos about it, would put it to "unwatchable"
Smile 2 - the first one didn't get me, not sure if I want to watch this one
Late Night With The Devil - started to watch it, but it was boring
Alien: Romulus - kind of a joke
Longlegs - boring
A Quiet Place: Day One - also boring
MaXXXine - it had a potential, but I got disappointed
Psycho in a cab - Collateral with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx.
Stuck in a cab with Tom Cruise my worse nightmare
Never thought about it before, but " AI and stalker films being the same" is a great comparison. Thank you for this 2024 worst horror tier ranking, you're the best🎉
I'm glad i wasn't the only one that thought Baghead (which is a derogatory UK slang word for a heroin user) was mid.
It had so much potential but was a disappointment.
I think you should do a turkey iceberg.
Each tier has bad movies but as you go further the worse they get
The last tier has the ultimate turkey of all time.
Wait, it is? I thought it was 'skaghead'.
Great video. Very diplomatic, but still compelling.
personally i was obsessed with winnie the pooh 2! i thought it was for the most part very silly and fun with lots of wild kills, if i could remove one movie from this list (of which i watched most movies here cause all i do is watch horror 😳) i'd take out pooh2

Great idea on how to do this. I always feel bad making this list every year. It’s a really good way to respectfully frame this topic
Wholesome! Love seeing creators I love supporting other creators I love!

This was a great deep dive on these films. Loved it 💚💩
What gets me more heated than the crow is the twilight zone movie helicopter accident. John Landis could've prevented it
if prey had been cujo but with lions and a safari jeep that sounds like an amazing premise
Think my main gripes w Tarot is that characters made bad decisions because the writers needed them too and not cause they make any sense. Like Paxton going off on his own or that girl running out of the car on the bridge. The characters are super forgettable too, I only remembered two of their names. Paxton and Grant(?) have crazy plot armour at the end. And the pacing of the movie just felt so fast. I left the theatre insulted at what I saw! 😂
Edit - 9:03 there’s a movie called Vicious Fun. It’s not abt a psycho in a cab but it’s a movie abt a horror writer trying to convince a studio to make his movie abt a psycho in a cab. He ends up accidentally joining a self help group for serial killers and slasher-comedy ensues. It’s a pretty fun watch!
Please do more of these!
i actually really liked #AMFAD, i won’t lie. i thought it it was silly and fun and didn’t take itself super seriously, plus i loved the kills.
This video of yours was more enjoyable that any of that movies 😂🎉
💩 howdy i’m still here !! love ur vids so much
Also, don't be afraid to lose your audience by pointing out movies you didn't like. We don't want another Chris Stuckmann.
Not this again. Why can't we have a channel that focuses on the positives? If you want negative channels, there's hundreds of them. Don't get *stuck* on the one positive one.
Thank you for saying this! People want authenticity, not forced positivity
best psycho in a cab horror movie, ‘The Bone Collector’ 🍿
Yep!! Came here to say the same thing!! The kills are so chilling in that movie.
So glad I didn’t waste my time this year and only focused on watching good horror movies like Strange Darling, Late Night with the Devil, and The Substance 😅
Curving all of the JWOW/Jersey Shore Fans like a boss. Happy New Years Emma!
I loved Afraid, until about the last 15 min. That ending drove me crazy 🫨
What was it about the endy for you?
@ without spoiling too much, the family just getting in the car and leaving was so crazy to me. It was like an empty threat, it didn’t pay off for me. They should have ended it at the ambulance.

(Spoiler alert) So it was at the AI won and they were just giving up?
- 23:52 Slasher+social-media-horror = _#Horror_ (2015) which was okay, it was fine. 🤷
- What about the American remake of _Speak No Evil_ ? It was trash, they completely RUINED the movie, just like they did when they made the 2016 American remake of _Inside_ (2007). 😠
I hate spoilers, except when it's from a bad movie I'm not watching. So, I love these videos to find out what I'm not missing!!!
Thanx, Emma!!!
There's nothing scary about having a pool in your back yard 😂

Going back by I some old horror that I have heard you like, The Demon Seed from 1977. The premise of AfrAId in which the house becomes the villain.
I think you may have missed a few key details from the movie "Afraid." The A.I. arranged for the vigilante's daughter to be kidnapped, and then instructed them to break into the house. The horror is also a little abstract as the A.I. is benevolent, wants to take care of people, and will do whatever it deems best to take care of them. Compounding that, the A.I. appears to have access to public and private computer systems, allowing it to alter a persons records.
I think for me it just never tied up any lose ends. Like you said it was abstract
💩 definitely still here. I agree with most of these movies. These three were my biggest disappointments of the year. That Micky's Trap was one of my most anticipated and it was pure WTF from beginning to end. I really hope some one out there makes a better Steam Boat Micky Horror movie for that new Disney Horror Universe. Tarot was another one. I loved the mythology behind all the entities, but the deaths were not executed well. Also I cared little for the victims. last ,but not least Baghead. Loved the look of the movie. The idea behind the creature, the look of the building, but the movie was just not executed well. Than there's The Exorcism. This movie should have been awesome because of the backstory to Jason Miller's actual experience while filming the original Exorcist, but what did we get instead. Over 5 minutes of watching Russell Crow bend backwards , and that is just not anything I ever sked for. .
As far as Amfad, honestly, the fact that Siwa dies might make it worth watching. Ever since she dropped that appalling single, and decided her rebrand was as Gene Simmons Jr., I'm very invested in someone trying to talk her into giving up demi-celebrity stature for the joy of triple-entry bookkeeping.
Slight correction; the Crooked Man was from The Conjuring 2, not Insidious.
The Crow
Tarot
Imaginary
Night Swim
Looking so much better!
I love seeing Negative videos😄
I love these videos. Thanks, Emma!
Love your channel. In my opinion i would change 2 movies positions. I would put " The Crow" in Boring (not even comparing with the original) because it's a movie with no saving grace. I would put "The exorcism" on the top list, it's not a good delivery by any way but it is not that bad. I agree that "The front room" should not be on that list.
The Platform 2 was actually a prequel and that's why the interview process and rules are so different. As for The Strangers, it NEEDED to be made to drive the rest of the trilogy. 🤫
16:51 gave my my biggest LOL today, thanks for that :D
Time Cut made me want to turn my TV off and not watch movies for a week.
But only becuase I enjoyed and remember Totally Killer. And this movie was a 2% remake of that with 98% AI-quality scriptwriting. Everything was so "undersold" it was one of the laziest films I've ever seen.
'Prey' had me so worried in the timestamps Brooo
Great list girl, thanks
Excellent list as always! Tbh, I thought afAId was pretty good. Some unexpected stuff happened, and they didn't fully delve into it, but I though AIa's solution for us as a race was very interesting and you don't see or expect that from sentient AI in movies.
I also thought that the Front Room was silly fun and I've never stop calling my gal Belinda "BELINDURR" for the rest of my life lol. I'd rank it under fun.
I agree with you on the Megan Fox AI movie... I could definitely see an android or whatever looking like that (in a good way). What really surprised me though were her abs! She never looked better physically (It's like she lived at the gym). And that was definitely a good time at least for a couple cheap thrills, and Megan does a great job!
Otherwise, spot on! Big Fan Love from the States!
Ones you didn’t like , that I liked , The Front Room , Bagman , Subservant , The Deleverance , I liked Rippy ( don’t know if you listed this one ) there’s others most critics hated , that I liked . One most liked , that I did not , was , the movie about the doctor that was raising humans to take on the trates of the Cuckoo , Cuckoo . That could have been really scary . But when I realized the plot , not scary , just stupid .
Thought this was a good, constructive discussion instead of just lashing out at low-rated films like I see far too often on UA-cam.
But the only one I would disagree with would be The Crow. Even looking at it as it's own film, I just found it plodding and boring until 2 standout action scenes that come more than an hour into the film. To me, it's boring.
excellent roundup!
Yay, some love for Tarot. I dug it. Very Final Destination meets Thir13en Ghosts
I thought Imaginary was pretty cool. A love letter to people who grew up watching 80's movies like poltergeist and beetlejuice. Different story obviously.
i think i didn't mind Black Cab 'cause i like Nick Frost so much ! A guilty pleasure maybe lol . Looking forward to your Best Of !
💩💩 Sorry forgot to poo !!
Make a best movies please
I do top 10 every year! It’s coming in a few weeks
When I first watched this video, I didn't have an answer for "what's the worst horror movie [I've] seen this year"....I do now...
In A Violent Nature.
Absolute garbage. Glacial pacing, and the worst, most blind camera framing.
I'd even go so far as to say it's one of the worst movies of any genre I've ever seen in my entire life.
I hated it. Holy crap, it was terrible.
You know what Imaginary reminded me of? A bigger budget version of the Disney Channel Movie “Don’t Look Under the Bed”. It has a lot of the same ideas. However, Don’t Look Under the Bed is way better, haha.
Love this approach. Have a conversation without really dumping on other people's "yums". Quite a few of these I felt had good parts or ideas but didn't expand enough on those ideas. Also, you're looking beautiful, skin is glowing!
Stoppp ❤❤❤❤😂🫶
Bummer! I wanted a psycho killer Nick Frost. If they didn't call it The Crow, it probably done better. The phrase "in the final battle between the dad and the pool" should never be uttered.
The only film from the list that I genuinely enjoyed was Night Swim.
💩😂
I watched the first Blood and Honey to see just how bad it was. Horrible. But the second one isn’t terrible. It’s cheesy and ridiculous but I still had a decent enough time. Will I be waiting for the next? Definitely not, but if I’m bored one day and it happens to be included on one of the streaming apps I’d watch it lol great video as always!!
I've managed to avoid the majority of bad horror this year, though at my bottom is The Crow remake. I nearly walked out. However, while I've not seen Werewolves (I think cinemas here have it but are too embarrassed to screen it), I did see Cocaine Werewolf, a direct to video from this year which was as cheap and godawful as it sounds. But at least it was entertaining as a bad gimmick movie, which is more than can be said for some others.
Says the guy who liked Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2.
The Platform sounds like low-budget Snowpiercer…
i would love more videos like this!! don’t feel bad for sharing your opinion.
💩👍
Yes. The Exorcism had SUCH potential. And such good set design. I appreciated the metaphor that they were trying to tackle with addiction and how it can "possess" you, but it just got so literal and silly. The true story needs a better treatment that doesn't get lost in horror tropes.
I believe the baddie in the movie "Giallo" was a cabbie....and there are a ton of movies that have had a fake cab for 1 abduction/kill then moved on to different methods, like in The Bone Collector.
💩
I too was wondering why people were hating Time cut so much. I thought it was very comfy, easy watch, quite fun. Very typical 2020's horror comedy (which i like). Maybe it's the fact that it's not listed as a comedy and therefore watchers are expecting something much more serious and scary..? 🤔
Hello wonderful 😊
I just thought of a video idea ... X rated horror movies?!
I've been googling ... I know, bad idea, and I can't find a good list and I love yours!!
Just an idea!! ❤❤
The Deliverance was so boring, I didn’t even make it to anything supernatural before I turned it off.
💩 “guess what this movie is about…WRONG” I died 🤣💀
Ok imaginary is my ultimate promise but horrible horrible horrid execution. The idea of an imaginary friend killer is so good. The early creepy pasta called Tulpa was a great example but it was just nothing
Afraid was 100 percent a A.I movie. It's like what a IRL nightmare would be after quitting weed.
Ya coz stopping weed gives you such horrific withdrawals. 🙄🤬 you even serious?? Good grief.
@@6HauntedDays No way you smoke weed "weed" if you never experienced this. It's actual science that it shuts down Rem sleep which makes dreams more intense when you get it out of your system.
