First decent horror movie I've seen in a while

AI helped me find it. I just Gemini'd "good horror flicks of the last five years", and it came recommended.

"The Black Phone".

Super unusual concept but I freaking loved the acting and the setting and the vibe.

The typical horror genre like "Omen" and all that conventional super natural BS like in Pet Cemetery, it's so old and rehashed.

I really need something a little more innovative and modern to enjoy horror films now.

Nah, I thought it was pretty shit to be honest. It didn't feel like a movie, more like an extended episode of a TV series if that makes any sense.

 

[I Am Legion]

I have seen some really decent ones in the last few years. The genre is thriving.

Longlegs
Abigail
Hereditary
Smile 1, 2
Talk to Me
Heretic
Barbarian

I didn't care for the first Smile but really enjoyed Smile 2. I thought the premise worked well with the backdrop of drug addict popstar tbh.

I'm a fan of X and Pearl as well, for recent films. MaXXXine could have been better, but shooting a guy's bits off with a gun was a nice touch. I'm mostly angry that after the first trailer dropped everybody on twitter guessed the end reveal right away.

It’s because the “twist” is so blatantly obvious.

It was ok. Not really scary though.

When Evil Lurks is probably the last good scary movie I saw.

Longlegs is awesome! I had no idea it was Nicholas Cage until the credits rolled

"The Black Phone".

Why does it have to be black?

Yeah, the past few years have had some really good ones, think there's a couple more coming this year that I'm keen on as well.

Checking out that film "Smile".

The scene at the kids party was pure comedy gold.

Struggling to make it through the last 20 minutes though, what's about to happen is typical horror script, predictable as can be.
