For the record, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SIMPLE FOUND FOOTAGE. I've seen Paranormal Activity, As Above So Below, The Taking of Deborah Logan and those other movies that are "found footage" because somebody is just recording the entire movie on a camera. I'm talking about films that have a documentary style with interviews from the main cast members that center around or build up to some sort of horrible incident that the interviewees know about that we don't. They have some supernatural imagery but still leave stuff to the imagination. Anyways, thanks for reading this part if you actually did
It's about a woman who goes to stay at a fancy house out in the woods by a lake to get away from the city, I think it was. Throughout, the film teases the house could be haunted and there's a particularly great scene involving the attic, which it eventually centered on iirc. But anyway as it turns out it's the woman herself and she kills the groundskeeper and she either buries or tosses him in the lake. For the life of me, I cannot remember what it was called. I think the title begins with an S? It's got a Blu-ray release and I wanna pick it up. It slipped my mind and I just thought of it today.
Being from the area where they film the show, the name jumped out at me immediately! I'm surprised no one else noticed.
I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of months, off and on, and I can't remember what it was from. It was a fairly recent US/English language horror film (post 2010 I think) and the protagonist was a young woman with dark hair. I think she was the daughter of a family who were staying in a house at the edge of a lake/swamp. Here are the parts I most remember:
- Early in the film the protag sees someone across the lake at the edge of the water.
- At one point the protagonist is chasing someone through the house, but every time she opens a door she ends up in a different part of the past, in the same house. In one part, she runs into a lady in the dining room who (I think) was a young version of her mother/grandma. I think the house setting in this scene was 50s/60s and I remember the room being kind of blue/green and maybe the lady being in a yellow dress? This scene may also kind of been a run through her own memories.
- At/near the end of that chase scene she comes out in
Not sure about all the details. It's probably 00's because I think i saw it in my college Literature class in 2010. The quality didn't look old but might be 90's too. I think they are black because the instructor taught a lot of black literature.
I remember they wake up, it's morning, looks like they're going about a normal day, husband and wife. One puts on a record I think and they slow dance or one of them dances. I think the man goes out driving or they both eventually go driving to a lake. I think they lived in a field type area. It had a somewhat somber tone because it wasn't a complete shock that they were planning to kill themselves and they drove into the lake.
The lakeside cabin they stayed in isn't actually a vacation rental - it was for sale during filming and was very recently bought by none other than Trump International Realty. The Trump brand owns several hundred acres of real estate on Lake Norman, and a golf course.
Weirdly, the episode of Catfish that was filmed in Charlotte years ago also was filmed in a house that was for sale and not actually owned by the person on Catfish or anyone related to them. Do they use reality shows to showcase potential properties to buyers/developers?

(ETA: A word)
"The Lake House" with Keanu and Sandra is one of my favorite romantic films. Yes, silly, I know. But my intention is not to sing praises, but to ask a practical question: What kind of jacket or blazer Keanu wears when he goes to Sandra's (Kate's) surprise birthday, dances and kisses her, eventually? Thanks for the answers in advance! :)

(2020) I’m Thinking of Ending Things
Charlie Kaufman seems unrelentingly obsessed with tearing apart and exposing the male psyche. It’s something I love about his films but it also can be depressing how much I relate to them.
Runners- up: Possessor Uncut, Nocturne, Invisible Man, The Rental, Relic, Palm Springs, Shirley, Becky
(2019) The Lighthouse
The story in this film is shrouded in mystery but the clues and tools needed to decipher it do exist and with a rewatch, finding them felt so rewarding. It’s the kind of movie that I want to make my friends watch, simply so I have someone to discuss it with. It’s one of the best horror films I’ve ever seen.
Runners-up: ***Little Monsters, Furie, I Am Mother, Glass, Crawl, Ma, Godzilla: King of Monsters, Us, Color Out of Space, Ready or Not, Midsommar, Zombieland: Double Tap, The Head Hunter, Parasite, Villains, Swallow, Nimic, The Head Hunter, I Trapped the Devil, Pet Sematary, Guns Akimbo, Harpoon, Annabelle Comes Hom

Here's what I mean. Is there any horror thats based in deed sorrow or sadness? It begins happy and ends sad/it starts sad and ends happy/its sad at the start and the end. Dose anything like this exist at all? Is it possible for me to start?
Edit: I GO AWAY FOR 5 SECONDS AND SUDDENLY I HAVE 140ISH COMMENTS!?!? damm bro horror really is a tragedy.
Hello all, currently on break and hoping to get some recommendations to watch once I’m home; I work in the medical field and I’m exhausted, the thought of browsing endlessly after this makes me want to die. I’m hoping to go home, shower, collapse on my bed with my laptop and cat and scare the hell out of myself before waking up and doing it all over again.
I’m looking for something that will absolutely terrify me and make my skin crawl. Some of my favorites and/or films I find the most creepy are:

Deliberating over ~30 entries proved more difficult in the time we allotted ourselves. We have eliminated 75% of the entries and are doing one last internal vote. We hope to announce three (3) new moderators in about one week. Please be patient with us.
Anyway, the real reason you are all here:
Approximately every two years, we like to go back and re-evaluate our opinions on this matter. Obviously it's just a snapshot of what we like at this very moment. But who doesn't like a little hyperbole?

I reported the problem to someone at the theater and they said that the connections are loose and that the system needs to be reset. The explanation doesn't make sense to me. Plus, nobody started working on the connections after the house lights went on. We stick around for a little while after, too. The manager was going to be back in about 20 minutes but I didn't want to wait that long.
It's a shame because the Vista is easily my favorite theater in LA but they failed today.

This remake, simply put, is excellent. I’m a huge fan of Leigh Whannell and while I do think the story itself is fantastic, it’s his directing that blew me away. This movie is so fucking tense without showing anything for a huge majority of its runtime. When shit actually starts to go down, it’s the definition of thrilling. Elisabeth Moss killed her role.
(2020) The Rental 8/10
The meat and bones of this movie is a character driven drama story. It’s tense and having so much knowledge right away as the viewer that the characters don’t have is frankly anxiety inducing, in a good way. I thought all four main performances were fantastic, especially Sheila Vand. There’s a moment in the film where everything is abruptly subverted in a grand horror fashion and depending on your tastes, that may be off-putting. To me, it was absolutely genius. Dave Franco directed the fuck out of this movie and eliminated all the comfort of campiness that great slashers

It was like a group of people staying in this cabin/home in the woods, and then there's a house invasion of aliens. I remember a jumpscare was an alien crawling on all fours on a window or something. I think I remember the people seeing a UFO crash somewhere in the woods near their location. To be honest it looked like a B Horror film, something you'd see on SYFY or something.

NOTE- This trailer was created by me. I did not create this movie. I was, however, the original person to upload it to YouTube, and worked with the original cast and crew afterwards to promote it.
It's been 15 years since the original release of "Legend of Link", a Legend of Zelda fan film by "Obsession Studios" from Ohio, in 2005, on Google Video. Ever since its release on YouTube, pieces of the movie have been lost to the ages due to the use of Copyrighted music. Since Legend of Link is a parody, and was not monetized, the use of the music should have fallen under Fair Use laws.
I thought I'd lost the files, honestly, but after someone messaged me asking about it, I decided to take another look into my archives. As it turns out, after searching an old exter

I wrote this in a comment to a post but I think it might clear up some stuff for people curious about the way they film the show.
There are two main ways of filming a reality show. One is with “scenes” where the cast is given “call times” and they go do whatever activity is scheduled. That doesn’t mean it’s scripted just that the location, people involved, topic, etc. may be planned ahead of time. The other way is the 24/7 set up where just like OG Jersey Shore and all of Season 1 of Family Vacation, they are filmed in house 24/7 and go do things so there’s not really any scheduled “scenes” or “shoots”. The newer seasons of Family Vacation have a combination of these two now. If you notice the season premiere episodes are typically shot more at homes and with family in a “housewives style”. It’s kinda of like a catch up of what everyone has going on in their lives. However, rest of the season will be a “24/7” style where they filmed all day everyday for a few weeks at the resort in La

Driving back and forth to the hardware store in an old beat up pickup truck. Does anyone know the area it was filmed? I'm ready to go look for a loan to buy something comparable.
Possible trigger warning of abuse and blackmail.
My bio mother has always done shit like this; she would taunt me, laugh at me, and throw things at me when I was 6-8 and I would have a panic attack. Yeah, a literal panic attack. Not "throwing a fit" because I "didn't want to be disciplined". While yes, this has continued through the years, now she has switched to filming my PTSD flashbacks instead, my grandpa passed, so i have nothing to lose. My dad, siblings, and siblings' spouses are NC so they can't show it around, but unfortunately my Enabling, mentally abusive brother tells embarassing stories of me that i told him to not tell anyone.
Back to the point, i was cleaning my room. I was 7 or 8 at the time and I was picking up toys. My dad was at work, so it was me and the bitch alone. She came into my room and started SCREAMING at me. She threatened me with many things, saying she would hit/beat me, until I cried, screamed and pressed into a corner, scared she would hit me. She

Richard Lewis recently did a stream talking about the terrible state of CS esports and I thought it was an important stream anyone who cares about the CS community should listen to.

Given that tomorrow is Halloween, I figured I would share a project with Reddit that I’ve been working on since the beginning of quarantine. While I’ve always been a horror fan, since quarantine began, I’ve watched exclusively horror movies and have been ranking them on a scale of 1-10. At first I didn’t know what I was doing and didn’t have a plan. But after watching about 10 movies, I created the key below, and have used it since in my evaluation. Because I’m confident that many of you would not care about the sub-categories that go into these rankings, I’ve only put the overall score below.
The list is in alphabetical order, which makes it much easier for me to catalogue. I unfortunately do not have a way to list them by ranking, but the top 5 are: 1. The Shining (9.4); 1. Get Out (9.4); 3. Midsommar (9.3); 4. It Follows (9.1); 5. The Babadook (9.0); 5. Blair Witch Project (9.0). If you have read this far, thanks.

1-Friday the 13th Part 2
A lot of people don’t like this one. I don’t know why. Hot girls like Marta Kober (just don’t look her up now, meth is one hell of a drug), great kills, and the “scariest” of the Fridays in my opinion. Jason is fast, strong, and most importantly, very “real.” I felt that the chase sequences were super tense. I loved the whole sweater scene. This is usually my favorite Friday, depending on the mood I’m in that day.
2-Freddy Vs Jason
Yes, people will disagree. Again, I don’t know why. I love this one. So much fun. Cool, unique story. As a horror fan, great to see a collab, especially since us old guys have been waiting to see this battle ever since the end of Part 9 when Freddy’s glove grabs Jason’s mask and drags it to hell. Love for both franchises makes this a home run.
3-Friday the 13th Part
... keep reading on reddit ➡This was a good film for its genre, considering I’m not really into romantic movies. There were a lot of plot holes, but Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock have amazing chemistry, and that made this movie entertaining. The whole time traveling trope could have been better, as it caused most of the plot holes. However, I still enjoyed it, and I hope Keanu and Sandra do another movie together.

A cry has arisen from the land. "How can I possibly enjoy this upcoming Halloween season", the people lament, "if I don't know what ShroomyTunes™ thinks are the greatest horror films of the last 20 years?!" Rest easy, o' ye FG peeps, my answers lie below. The list ranges from well known, big budget films to obscure, tiny budget offerings. I highly recommend all of these. The ones with asterisks are particular favorites, but all are noteworthy horror films, in my opinion, for one reason or another. I'm sure that I have forgotten some deserving candidates, so, feel free to add, embellish, and comment:

When Mike Ryerson & Ned Tebbits come into the Marsten House Mike hears something upstairs "there's somebody up there!" but Straker was gone. Who was upstairs (Since Barlow is in the crate)? It it was Hubie's ghost, why didn't Straker see it? He had lived in the house for some period of time.
Who put Larry Crockett in his car & drove him to the lake? Straker was back at the house.
How did Barlow get into the jail? The next day we see that the cop is alive when he leaves town.
Why were Ben & Mark so casual about standing around the Marsten House after Barlow is staked? The whole town is full of vampires flying around at that point but they hang around the Marsten House outside.
Vampires have to enter houses invited. Obviously Barlow was not invited into Mark Petrie's house.
