Horror/Sci-Fi Movie/TV Discussion Thread

I watched this on Netflix. Enjoyed it for the most part, but it's very low budget. It's a spin-off of the Amateur Night segment from the anthology VHS movie. That was probably my favourite segment out of them all, so I was very interested in this for that reason alone. I thought it was a solid creature feature. Very bizarre & weird at times. The actress was great in VHS too.

Not sure I'd really recommend it to vast majority of people because the acting is not that great, and it's just fuckin' weird as hell at parts which might put some people off. I dug it though. Been a while since I watched an entertaining creature type movie.

@Kiffy Pop You might like this if you haven't seen it yet. Not only for the VHS connection, but I know you don't mind low budget horror movies.

You got more horror on lock for quite a bit. I still haven't finished Archive 81.

Part 1 of Fear Street from 1994 was a pretty great watch for me. You for sure alot of homage to the 90s Horror and I like how they used Supernatural abilities of a Witch that won't die vs Joe Schmoe down the Street. Maya Hawke and Julia Rehwald deaths were heartbreaking especially Hawke who I thought for sure would get away and be saved but not today Jose. I'm interesting in the next two parts on how this Curse and Witch came together.

Everyone go watch Titane, and I am glad that the New French Extremity is coming back

I absolutely adored Part 1. The opening in the Mall with Maya Hawke really reminded me of Scream especially. I love that they took a lot of inspiration from that, and it definitely like I was watching a good ol' 90's slasher flick. I think you'll enjoy the second part. It has the Max actress from Stranger Things (Sadie Sink) who puts on a really good performance, and it has a Friday the 13th vibe with the camp setting.

Yeah I wanted to save Maya from that Scene worked me into a shoot that she didn't survive.

Just finished Fear Street 1978 and we've got another good Movie here. Poor Tommy he seemed like a nice fellow before he got cursed and possessed by the Witch to go on a killing spree of Campers from Camp Nightwing. Cindy did what I would of done no matter how frustrated or hate a Sibling you defend them because like the Book says I am my Brother's Keeper. Welp now the kids need to get the Hand and Body of Witch back together but did Deena go back in time to 1666 oh shit!

1666 was a trip, have fun. I thought all the trilogy was very solid. Shame not all Netflix horror releases are this consistently good. They definitely found a good groove with Fear Street, and I'd like to see more things dropping on the service like that.

Just finished up Part 3 1666 and it was a good ending to the Trilogy for sure. I did not expect Nic Goode and his Family being the reason for that chaos over the Years but I should of taken Nic not telling the Cops the truth towards the end of 1978 more so than him just protecting Sarah. Love that the Occult Book was taken which means Part 4 because we only saw one of the things from that thing Curse the Town imagine the other stuff in that Book that could take it to another level. It could be anyone who took that Book and or someone new aligned to the Goode family who knows.

This has elements of The Ring & Grudge for me. I was getting those vibes watching it. Very atmospheric horror movie, that manages to be creepy and there's basically no jump scares at all. I wish more horror movies were like this, just pure atmosphere & making you unnerved. That sort of stuff honestly scares me more. I'm assuming this didn't have a big budget, but I didn't even notice it, and it's way better than a lot that have much higher budgets.

Shane Carruth was pretty excellent in the lead role, and that's impressive to me seeing as he's not normally an actor as far as I'm aware. I associate him more with directing movies. So this was a pleasant surprise to see him nail it like he did.

I would say this movie does a good job pulling you in, and keeping the mystery going throughout without losing you. Quite the slow burn to begin with, but there's enough creepy moments throughout to where it doesn't feel too slow. I thought the opening parts did a good job setting the scene up as well. Definitely check this one out if you're in to more unknown horror movies that have come out recently. Shout out to Jeremy Childs in this movie too, I don't believe I knew who he was before this but he deserves to be in more horror roles, that's for damn sure.

Thought I'd post this as it might interest somebody. Sounds pretty cool. Classic horror flicks always a good time.

So dope. Never Hike Alone was a very good fan film, and this is apparently going to be feature length.

‘Never Hike Alone 2’ Has Been Fully Funded by ‘Friday the 13th’ Fans!

It was just one month ago that fan film Never Hike Alone 2 began its Indiegogo fundraising campaign, and this week the feature film sequel has been successfully funded in full.

A press release sent out this afternoon announces, “The film met its Indiegogo fundraising goal of $150,000 just two days prior to the scheduled closure of the campaign on April 15, 2022. Funding is closing in on $170,000 as the primary campaign is set to close on Friday night at midnight. Meeting the goal qualifies the campaign to remain open in order to raise funds towards stretch goals like extra kill scenes and an additional short prequel film.”

“The work has already begun,” according to director Vincente DiSanti. “We have already had a table read and scouted a majority of our locations. The concept art by FX legend Bill Hunt is out of this world. There is a lot of work ahead to prepare us for shooting, but we are excited to show horror audiences a whole new level of what our team is capable of.”

DiSanti and his crew are scheduled to film Never Hike Alone 2 this summer and have a targeted release date sometime in the fall of 2022. This is all due to the contributions from over 1,850 backers from over 32 different countries around the world.

“None of this is possible without them. We cannot thank Friday fans enough for granting us this opportunity and flooding the campaign with so much support. The same gratitude can be extended to the franchise rights holders who have been gracious enough to allow the community to participate in projects like this without interfering. Fan films get a lot of hate, but how can anyone deny the positive impact they have on the community?”

Set three months after 2020’s winter set prequel Never Hike in the Snow, Never Hike Alone 2 picks up with Crystal Lake’s haunted son, TOMMY JARVIS (Thom Mathews), who has all but given up on his search for the long lost JASON VOORHEES (Vincente DiSanti).

However, when Tommy receives an emergency call to pick up injured hiker KYLE MCLEOD (Andrew Leighty), he will once again come face-to-face with the ghost of Crystal Lake, setting into motion a blood-soaked conclusion to their deadly rivalry.

Caught between the chaos is DR. DIANA HILL (Anna Campbell), still searching for answers to her son’s disappearance, and the ever stubborn SHERIFF RICK COLOGNE (Vinny Guastaferro), convinced Tommy is responsible for it all.
