AI
Red Dragon
tithe Debt
The Deep End of the Ocean
Seventh Son
The Pact
Before I Wake
The Hole in the Ground, I think Niamh said...

It's tricky when it comes to modern horrors I've seen a few but not really rated them (hereditary, a quiet place, ma etc) Get Out and Us were not bad though... I've heard good things about Train to Busan but I haven't seen it, it's supposedly not gory even though its a Zombie movie...

The Blair Witch project is good for non gore and Shallow Grave is an older one people might not have seen but there may be a bit of gore in that - I can't remember how much though as I'm a hardened horror movie fan and it doen't really register with me...The Ring/ Ringu was good but people have probably seen that...

Oh A Simple Favour was good but I don't know if it would be classed as horror

...I loved that movie, I watched it not too long ago but a really good movie...

[Niamh.]

The Debt looks good, I've seen Red Dragon and AI. I think I saw The deep end of the Ocean too

I've seen before I wake, it's OK, don't fancy watching it again. The pact and The hole in the Ground I'd watch. AI I don't remember it too well, but I remember not liking it that much

...The Strangers was one that traumatised me, I still find it hard to think about...that wearing a mask, while terrorising and torturing...not being able to see any emotion at all while taking lives in awful psychopathic ways...it chills me to the bones...I’ve never watched that type of movie again...

[Ammi]

...any Irish movie I’ve watched, I’ve enjoyed so that would be a choice that I’d be fine with The Hole in the Ground...I don’t know what the reviews are about, though...

[Ammi]

...it has a reasonable rating as well, I’ve just checked...but I’ll leave you all to decide...as I still have Heathers to watch...I might get a chance to watch later...

[Ammi]

...I bought strawberries on my Click and Collect at Sainsbury’s and collected it all this morning...most of the strawberries were mouldy... that’s not really relevant to anything but I really wanted strawberries so I had to offload that...

I would LOVE a rewatch of Heathers...it was very slick and modern at the time which means it probably won't date well stylewise but if you can ignore that the story and the humour we're just brilliant... a defining movie for my generation...

omg Bollo, I just watched a video of Where are they now for the actors in Heathers and Kim Walker who played Heather chandler died of a brain tumour at 32

I haven't seen it but that's on purpose because I really dislike those kind of films as well, they make me extremely uncomfortable

Bram Stoker Dracula is brilliant.
I love Gary Oldman!

[Vanessa]

The Addams Family is so funny. I need to rewatch it

Ammi have you seen the sequel to The Strangers? It was terrible lol . But I think people mostly like it for the 80s music .

...no, GoldHeart... I hadn’t realised until I watched it, how it would make me feel because I can watch some horror ..there are certain aspects of horror that I can’t watch, though and even with movies that aren’t a horror genre...and it’s not always easy to know beforehand ...and actually sometimes I will watch anyway if I know that it’s just going to be a small scene etc and that it’ll be possible to just not watch that one bit, you know..?..yeah, sequels in general can be quite bad and I think for this movie in particular...?...the story was based on some true events, even though the actual events weren’t true, if that makes sense...which also adds that layer or terrifying when it’s something that could actually be imagined to happen...?..anything supernatural supernatural is more scary for me because it feels less real, I guess...


....I recall Strangers as being based on some real events but I just had to refresh what those events actually were..I’ll spoiler it for anyone who hasn’t watched...

Spoiler:

According to writer and director Bryan Bertino, The Strangers is primarily based on three different events. The first is the infamous series of murders committed by the Manson Family in 1969, particularly the home invasion and killing of actress Sharon Tate. The second is the also quite infamous 1981 Keddie Cabin Murders, in which four people were killed in a small California resort town, including Sue Sharp, her son John, daughter Tina, and John's friend Dana. Disturbingly, the motive for those murders is still unknown, as the killer(s) were never caught, and the case remains unsolved.

...so Heathers...how very......

Spoiler:

...it’s a strange movie, isn’t it because in parts it more has the lightness of Mean Girls but it’s a very, very dark movie and actually really disturbing...but it’s quite like something we touched on with American Psycho, in that I couldn’t personally feel any connection to him or any of his victims on any level...but with Heathers...?...these aren’t people of great character and they all have very bullying behaviour and caused so much misery..(...not that, that justifies killing them...)...but it’s where it starts to relate to how they make people feel and how they outcast them etc...

...but it has to be said that JD is a complete and total psychopath killing some quite unpleasant people...that line he said/similar words to...’they would have only gone on to date rape etc...and we really felt that, didn’t we...that, that would happen..?..(...anyways we still don’t condone murder...)...and obviously he was going to blow up the whole school and kill everyone, regardless of who they were so he can’t criticise...so a lighter movie in points but an extremely dark character study...

...I loved it though because of those layers...and some great quotes.....I can see Niamh and Bollo, why so many quotes have stuck with you both...I won’t quote any because you know them...but watching it made me think...we should make it a thing that after every movie watch..?..let’s go get a slushie ...?...I really don’t know why I haven’t watched it before now but a great recommendation.....

An excellent modern horror is The Babadook, I don't know why but it's pretty much the only horror film I've watched since my younger days that has genuinely scared me and I can't say why. It's just something about it is just..... I can't put it into words.

It's not on Netlix or Prime, it is on you tube but it doesn't have the subtitles
