What's the best Elm Street movie that isn't 1 or 3?

In terms of vampire movie it was aight in terms of found footage pretty good just wish there was more bromance

did anything good come out this year?

5, the deaths are some of my favorite in the series. The only problem is that there are so few of them.

The Haunting of Bly Manor comes out on Netflix next month

PoD is my favorite Carpenter. Strangely, a lot of what I love about Halloween III, which is not by Carpenter, is how it feels like a prototype for PoD. Like, Tommy Lee Wallace's emulation of Carpenter's style for H3 somehow worked backward into influencing Carpenter himself? I don't know, maybe I'm just being a fag.

Hope you enjoy! And I hope you didn't read my spoilers lel

I love 2 for the complexity of its gay allegory. Complex relative to other slashers, at least. Does this make me a homo as well?

Just finished Lake Mungo, which I first saw over a decade ago. I don't remember if it left much of an impression on me back then, but I think it's one of my favorites now. The actors are pretty godtier to have improvised almost everything while sufficiently emoting. I love the score, though I agree with anons from past threads who said the steadily-increasing volume in particularly tense moments fuck with some scares by essentially retroactively turning them into jump scares. The drowned ghost in Alice's phone video is already fucking spooky as shit, so the harsh-noise squeal doesn't add anything to the scene whatsoever. Anyone have any interpretations on the post-credits scene? Is this a separate Alice-ghost from the one left in the house? How does it appear in Joel Anderson's regular professional camera when previous appearances were limited to in-universe camcorders and phones and shit? Why Lake Mungo specifically, is this ghost exists outside the context of Alice's camp party? Is it just Anderson trying to be cool, and am I just reading too deep into a throwaway image?

is there anything worse than a murder/slasher/guy-in-a-mask-kills-people movie being considered part of the horror genre?

>tfw seen every horror film

I appreciate your high effort post. I disagree, and don't think it was a horror. I thought it was a well made film overall, but is overrated. I must have mist the post credits scene.

Any kino recs from post 2000?

Holy shit that ending. I wonder how big the spider web surrounding epstein goes? No doubt they won't investigate the guy with the charity.

Are you the same guy from the other day who said it wasn't horror? I think I responded to you in agreement, but I rewatched it just now to reevalutate my thoughts. I would say it's not exactly horror, and more a psychological drama with supernatural elements, but it toys with horror tropes enough that I think some people might be excused in using the label. I don't know. It's like Twin Peaks FWWM, but I would be more inclined to call Lynch's film actual horror versus this one. But we also allow slashers and Saw to be discussed in /hor/, so I think Lake Mungo passes as "horror-adjacent," if you will.
Post credits scene is basically just Alice standing on a rock in Lake Mungo while lightning flashes to illuminate her. As I mention under my spoiler tags, the biggest significance is the use of the same sort of cameras used for the establishing shots of Australia, rather than anything Mathew or Ray used within the main body of the film. We never see Alice's ghost outside the context of amateur photography, so it's strange that it happens this way.
And I almost missed the scene as well, only learning of it when I went on Wikipedia to check the spelling of Ray's surname and saw the synopsis mention post-credits.

Did I open a can of worms mentioning Bella in the context of Amityville? Will we ever get another pedogate thriller beyond True Detective s1?

Lake Mungo. Mandy. I posted too-long posts about both in this and the previous thread, if I may shill myself :^)

I had an opportunity to see this film in the theater in recent years, and I passed it up in order to spend time with my family. No regrets but still, would've been cool.

Wut

no you haven't

>Are you the same guy from the other day who said it wasn't horror?
Possibly. The reason I say it isn't is because it it's more of a grief based drama. It's a ghost film sure, and has gothic themes, but isn't really horrifying in anway way.
The main opposition to it really stems from it being a meme/troll suggestion and people describing as the best film ever.

yo who here seen Hereditary?

What was with all the homo shit in Nightmare on Elm Street 2? Felt mad uncomfortable after I coomed to it.

>Did I open a can of worms mentioning Bella
Not really, but the video user posted included a brief clip of her on a section about hollywood/disney paedophilia. I can see why he described it as real life horror or whatever, weird shit.
Gonna have to watch part 1 and 2 I guess.

>Will we ever get another pedogate thriller beyond True Detective s1?
No, the attitude they displayed in S3 with the references to pedogate (symbols on the walls in the background) seemed taunting/mocking to me. They knew it would be noticed and the ending took that away.

Eh, it's not "horrifying" exactly, but there's some good spookiness in my opinion. The music adds a lot of atmosphere, even if it sometimes gets invasive.

I have. Don't talk black to me though.

Screenwriter was a fag who wanted to slip some gay shit into the movie that '80s audiences might not catch. I assume the '80s were gay as fuck, so NoES2 doesn't look too weird to an outsider. At least, not at the time. As a millennial, I always thought Top Gun and Lost Boys were some outright faggot shit, so I saw through NoES2.
