/x/ - Paranormal

>>20703

Babadook is a good movie on a scary and intellectual level.

The Taking of Devorah Logan is pretty creepy

Troll Hunter isn't scary, but it's perfect /x/ material and kicks ass

There aren't any

Bullshit. Babadook started out ok, and ended in pure retarded psuedo-psychological claptrap, as if its somehow "ok" to want to kill your fucking kid.

>>20758

>as if its somehow "ok" to want to kill your fucking kid.

Fuck back off >>>/leftypol/ normie scum.

>>20758

It's not ok to want to kill your child, and the movie didn't endorse that either.

If you noticed, the final form of the monster was the truck light she saw right before her car was hit and her husband died. It's a monster based around the fact that she thought "I wish it had taken my son instead of my husband." She didn't want to kill him on an active level, but the Babadook itself amplified her dark thoughts.

Did you notice in that hallucination where she told her son not to go into the basement? That's where her husband's stuff is, thus her thoughts about her husband, which are very dark. That's why her husband came out of darkness and she was enveloped in it while talking to him. It represented the thoughts she didn't want her son to know and that she herself

The levels of the house represent the conscious levels of her mind. When it chases her upstairs, it then gets control of her active mind, and from there she became violent.

The movie didn't endorse that it was okay to think such dark thoughts about your child. It made it very clear that both she and her son were very messed up people.

>>20758

You understood nothing.

>>20703

Babadook and The Conjuring leap to mind.

Babadook is bretty gud

It Follows is a lot better, I think

>>20707

Absolutely agree about Trollhunter, I'd love more f!documentaries about cryptids, there's a niche genre that asks to be exploited right there.

>>20761

Noice. The whole metaphor of the movie didn't really work for me, but I always like seeing analysis about it. Kinda sad it was marketed as horror though, lotsa people must spit on it because they thought it would be a no-brain horror funtime.

>>20768

Yeah, Conjuring is probably my favourite modern horror flick. Kinda hyped for the sequel, though I didn't care much for Annabelle.

>>20769

It Follows is pretty good, would definitely watch a second time.

Now contributing with a few I saw recently, keep in mind that none of them is exceptional, but you might find something interesting nonetheless;

Deep Below : not really good, but the concept is fun and a must watch if you don't like tight spaces, gives a "moving bottle episode" feel at times.

Last Shift : true bottle episode there, not bad per se, just not great. The ambiance is good, the crescendo is classic and I was pleasantly surprised a few times.

Unfriended : Interesting concept, not as much a scary movie as it is a teen drama, still had a good time watching it.

30 days of night : the one I liked the less as a horror movie. It's more of an action flick with vampires, but was still marketed as horror (because PR/marketing people all seem incompetent nowadays).

>>20774

have ye seen green inferno or any cannibal-type movies?

i have to be in the mood to watch those.

>>20794

Green Inferno's on my watch list (so many films on my watch list though, so little time) cause the name came up in a discussion, but for cannibal-type movies, I couldn't help you, I don't think I know of other movies centered around that theme.

>>20707

The Taking of Deborah Logan is a jump scare teen movie about an old woman whose onset dementia ends up to also have demonic possession.

It shows actual dementia behavior quite well, and makes the fucking lady really unnerving. The rest is the usual horror movie plot. Ending is.. eh. Not bad. Spooky for sure if you like hating creepy as FUCK old ladies.

>>20759

wanting to kill your child is both not leftypol and not pol, it's fucking not natural literally

dumbass

>>20806

> calling an unborn fetus a living being

Back to >>>/leftypol/ .

>>20805

Yeah, it did creepy perfectly, but it should have just made the film around that rather than jumpscaring the watcher.

The attic scene was good though.

>dark house with large empty spaces

>with a creepy as shit old lady with dementia roaming around

That's some ripe shit, it's a shame they went the direction they did

>>20774

I liked the conjuring until the basement scene. I liked the idea of rampant spirits, but it just felt like it was way overdoing it when the spirit of a regular lady who died with malice in her heart was able to throw furniture around like Tatsumaki near the end.

I felt she was disproportionately powerful, she was a regular mean old lady, not a megademon.

>>20807

YOU SICK FUCK

>>20844

Creeping around attics if you have dementia is totally a real life possibility too.

There's a reason its name translates to demented/demen(demonic)

>>20703

>Alien

>The Thing

>The Blair Witch Project

>Event Horizon

>The Shining

These are my top five horror movies (in no particular order) and out of all of them Blair Witch is the only one that scared me at all.

>>20707

The Babadook is good, too.

>>20832

Liberals are pro choice.

>>22092

Have to agree with this, Babadook was some tense shit.

>>20845

Well, she was a witch, after all. But yeah, the exorcism scene did only serve its hollywoodian purpose; the movie had to have an adrenaline-filled climax, the villain defeated, all that.

Still, the Conjuring remains one of my favourites, notably because of Patrick fucking Wilson in the cast.

>>22093

The only choice they're "pro" is their own.

Disagree with them, or believe differently from them? Then no rights for you as far as they're concerned!

>>22173

literally why do you give a shit about liberal faggots

>>20703

Candyman

The Ring as well

>>22199

The ring is bumpin mayng

>>22200

I saw that shit in the theaters, and pretty much spooked me for an entire week

I saw Candyman when I was 11, and fucked me up pretty good. Even if you offered me $500, I would not say candyman in the mirror 3 times

>>22205

CANDYMAN CANDYMAN CANDYMAN

>>22208

fuck you man

>>22214

OH SORRY AM I TRIGGERING YOU
