I watched Black Phone last night. It was ok.

I was disappointed, but I think my expectations were too high.

Yeah, none of the paranormal stuff had any payoff at all for me. It was more or less a kidnapping movie that I've already seen. Not bad, but not great, either.

Finally got around to watching X last night. It's not particularly groundbreaking, but it's still a good throwback horror film in the spirit of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The Descent -

rediculously under appreciated movie. i get frustrated when i hear of people who haven't seen it and MAD when people say mean things about it.

Bumping this thread to see if any of you have seen good horror in the past six years that I can enjoy this month. It looks like there are some in here already that I haven't seen.

recent successful offerings from Aster, Eggers, Flanagan:
Hereditary
Midsommar
The Witch

also classics like Rosemary's Baby, the Exorcist, and the Shining are all still very good

I watched THE VVITCH again recently. I get that it's not for everyone, but it has the flavors I crave. How old was ATJ at that time?

Since you like Hereditary and Midsommar (great rough ridin' movie), have you seen X or Red Rocket?

I watched THE VVITCH for the first time last night.  Holy crap.  I've always kind of been on the fence about billy goats but not any more.

I appreciated the fidelity to contemporaneous dialect. Could take or leave the goat. Also, the pirate thing was weird.

I don't believe you

That was actually the only redeeming part of the Black Phillip vignette.

I didn't realize it was coming on HBO at all and now I'm excited for it.

Guillermo Del Toro's show hits netflix tomorrow as well.  Should be some A+ Halloween week content.
