Haunt is also on Tubi, I think, which is stacked with horror movies this month.

Just finished ‘Haunt’

Solid slasher, or whatever the genre is. Fiancé and I both enjoyed as this evening’s Spook-tober flick.

I watched Killer Whale last night.

It’s as bad as you think it would be.

Trailer:

Looking at movies on Fandango at Home, I stumbled across a movie called "Gator Face". It's from 2026 and it looks like an indie horror movie and I immediately thought it was going to be trash (like 90%+ of them). Then I watched the trailer and it seemed like there was some actual production quality and skill, so I may rent this bad boy and see if I was trailer-tricked

I am sensing a theme of my "horror" choices for this spooky season so far...low-budget survival/animal attack movies.

I watched Hungry (2026) last night. About a tour group in the Louisiana bayou that are attacked and stranded by..........a hippo.

It has Bucho in it (from Desperado - 1995).

It's as bad as you think it is. But some of these movies are entertaining to me for whatever reason. Here is the trailer:

See that's what intrigues me about that Gator Face movie. I initially thought it was one of these, but after watching the trailer, it may be tricking me. It's still fricking with me

Watched Don’t Move last night. “Giant killer spider in the woods” movie.

It actually wasn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be. Had some decent jump scares and the SFX were solid for a low budget shitty horror movie.

Trailer (with a decently sized spoiler in it, which is strange):

I bumped the thread below, but since it was more "horror" than I thought it would be, I figured I'd add it here.

I watched The End of Oak Street a couple nights ago. I liked it, but it wasn't overly good or anything. But it definitely had a more serious vibe to it than I originally thought it would. It was more "scary" and intense, when I thought there would be a dark comedy angle to it.

It is very "girl power"-y with Anne Hathaway doing all the heavy lifting for the family (it's even a movie set in like 1982 where she literally drives and the husband sits in the passenger seat), she wields the shotgun, etc. So that was annoying. But all in all it's pretty good though. And apparently JJ Abrams is involved (producer), if that interests you (or doesn't).

But it's a solid watch, despite my complaints (not all of which are listed in this post). Here is the trailer if you are unfamiliar:

I would love to watch some of these but somebody is allergic to putting the platform for which he watched them on. And when did they do away with the SMH emoji?

Fair enough, my bad. But to be fair I haven't been watching these on streaming. I got a bunch of movies on a jump drive from my cousin last week, and I threw a bunch of these low budget horror/animal survival movies on there.

I'll see if I can figure out if they are streaming somewhere. FWIW, I use JustWatch: LINK


ETA: Killer Whale, Don't Move, Hungry, and Oak Street look like they are all available for rent on the main streamers (i.e. Prime), but none are free as far as I can tell.

I do use JustWatch. Wanted to bust your balls on it. I hate renting movies on streamers because when I do, as my luck will have it, the next week it comes out free somewhere.

I am vehemently against renting shite on streaming. I pay out the fricking arse for streaming services already...no need to bleed more money out of me by actually paying more to rent a movie. I'd just as soon buy it on DVD (and have) before doing that shite.

Watched Deep Water (2026) last night. It's another "shitty, low-budget shark movie" but actually has Aaron Eckhart (who was decent in it) and Ben Kingsley (who was trash in it).

This one was not very good at all. But it fits into my theme for "horror" movies lately. Also, it looks like it is not free anywhere, but is available to rent on the main platforms.

Here is the trailer:

It's free on MGM+. I watched the beginning but it just didn't grab me. Looks like you saved me an hour.

Probably doesn’t do a whole of a good to do so in a long running thread as a lot of more popular movies move from platform to platform.

Finally got around to watching Hereditary. Fantastic.

Finished up Chum (2026) tonight. Another shitty, low budget animal attack (shark again) movie. Has Alice Eve in ans her crooked eye in it.

This is, without hyperbole, likely one of the five worst movies I have ever seen in my life. I know a lot of these that I have are not good, but they are usually mind-numbingly entertaining on some basic level. This one is not that at all. Almost every single thing about this movie is absolutely insane and ignorant. The plot, characters, motives, SFX, message (it somehow managed to even be preachy about climate change ), etc. are all horrible.

Here is the trailer:



Everything about this movie sucks. Unless you just enjoy awful movies, I’d stay far away from this piece of shite. But if anybody manages to watch it, let me know and we can make fun of it together. It is hilariously bad/stupid.

I bought Gator Lake today but didn't get to watch it. If it's good I'll Zelle you the rental fee to watch it
