Dumbest victims in horror history


I think the idea of a movie like The Strangers will always scare people. But, I agree with you. I remember being annoyed by this movie for the reason I quoted. Hush was a much better version of that type of movie.

One I haven’t seen mentioned yet is Wolf Creek. Also Eden Lake.

J-horror is usually pretty consistent with creepiness in their movies.

Martyrs was incredible. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

The Descent was probably my favorite.
REC and Inside were legitimately terrifying.
Let the Right One In was awesome.

Original Saw is kind of like Blair Witch Project. What came after it made people forget how great those movies were.

Gotta give a shoutout to Rob Zombie’s Firefly family movies.

The first half of Jeepers Creepers was fricking awesome. The second half not so much.

I also really liked “House of 1000 Corpses”

Natalie Mendoza was a hottie. Too bad she didnt do more nude scenes.

several mentions of Train to Busan and I agree, it's what got me hooked on Korean films; so if you liked that one check out The Wailing

Nefarious - not traditional horror, but still feel like it deserves a mention

Constantine

The Mist

World War Z

Bone Tomahawk

30 Days of Night

Cabin in the Woods

The Conjuring

Paranormal Activity

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

some movies were trendsetters or genre reboots and need mention

What's shitty is it's been 6.5 years and I would probably offer a similar list.

The crazy part is how much more hype and respect the horror genre has received in that 6.5 years, but what I consider premium content is severely lacking.

I still think the Conjuring is so well done. Great acting and the score is amazing.

Yes the Conjuring is done incredibly well on a technical level and is a good popcorn horror movie. I give it a lot of respect for what it is, that's just not my cup of tea in terms of elite horror.

OF THAT type of movie, the Conjuring may be the best, though.

The Wailing is excellent. Top tier horror.

SFP will back me up on this as soon as he sees it.

Also, what an odd bump to a 6 7 year old thread...random post about an actress not doing more nude scenes.

The Wailing, Kill List, and Hereditary are the 3 best in this time period.

Still love this movie.

It's also a good premise in that they understood that the best zombie movies are set in places like England:

Few guns
Island (closed off from the rest of the world)
Dreary weather


A zombie apocalypse would last about 3 days in America before every person with a gun is scrambling over each other to shoot a zombie. Better to set it in places like England or Japan where there are very few firearms and very few places to run to.

1. Hereditary
2. Smile 2

No others really come close to these two imo.

Cabin in the Woods(if you consider it horror)


And this becomes the problem… it sends up so many horror tropes that it wraps back around into black comedy rather than being straight horror.

Great film but kind of horror-adjacent rather than horror.

Horror-comedy is a subgenre of horror.

Evil Dead 2
Shaun of the Dead
Cabin in the Woods
Tucker and Dale

etc.

Similar to thriller and horror, the lines start to get blurred with some dark comedies though (like American Psycho, the Menu, etc.)
