The Host– TL/DR: Mutant monster menaces Seoul. TYPE: Sea monster. Scariness: 8/10. Gore: 5/10. JoonHo Bongs terrific, Spielbergian story that focuses on one family trying to make it through the rampage of a giant mutant monster.
This is worth seeing though I enjoyed it more for the hilarious gallumphing fish monster than for any alleged 8/10 scariness.
It's only sort of a horror movie to begin with. Basically, everyone should see it so they can tell me what it is supposed to be. Incidentally, I fucking loved it.
The Babadook– TL/DR: Woman is haunted by a nightmarish children’s book, and the creature therein. TYPE: Evil spirit. Scariness: 8/10. Gore: 3/10. Ossie Davis does for mothers what Jack Nicholson did for dads in The Shining.
Everybody tells me not to believe the hype about this movie.
This movie is awesome; it has a mainstream approach but the scares are extremely scary. It courts your sympathies then completely takes advantage of them, a la Psycho really. I mean I can hardly blame anyone for not liking it because it is one of those horror films like The Shining where the non-spiritual explanation is crystal clear from the start. But it's the aplomb of how the director merges those two elements - the supernatural and the psychologiclal - that not only deserves tremendous credit, it works. |

The Prophecy isn't really a horror movie. It is a fun movie, though. NT by blackwater 10/06/2018, 4:20pm PDT
