It’s horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.
What is your top pick for whatever genre?
Rec (2007) . A slow night where a novice news reporter shows a day in the life of the local firestation turns into so much more.
I think there’s something about the intersection between found footage and a foreign (to me) film that makes it so much more believable and enjoyable. This is miles beyond the US remake, quarantine. No big name actors here to ruin the found footage vibe. Just a small town news reporter meandering through a slow night at a local fire station.
Little Shop of Horrors, original and remake. But I always assign social commentary, regardless if the writer meant any or not.

Seconded, great movie.
the fact that the whole thing is shot in a single room makes it even more amazing
100% Nope: A episode from supernatural, where ghouls half way succeed to eat Sam. (I consider it as the most gruesome horror I have ever seen, and I don’t think I have the stomach to see it ever again. The blood draining is a … no.)
Yellow brick road on otherhand hits the weird places spot of SCP, which I can’t get enough. (not horror really, but still)
day of the dead is fantastic. perfect build up and release. watched it with a lot of friends and damn we went crazy for that ending
Event Horizon
picking a favourite is hard, but In The Tall Grass (2019) is definitely up there, and i never see anyone talk about it. also, Malignant (2021). definitely try to go in blind for that one if you can.
I was surprised by how much I liked In the Tall Grass. I think I’ve seen it thrice by now.
I also recommend It Follows. It is so different. And the characters don’t act dumb. And everything makes sense in the context. Like why they dont get a car or catch a plane, because they are broke teenagers.
The shining. I watch it every year at the first snow. I’m afraid I won’t get that chance this year.
Sinister - the home movies and music are so creepy.
Voted the scariest movie of all time! At least by one study.
The Blair Witch Project. Terrifying.
The Thing (1982) has basically consistently been my favorite horror movie
Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010) and The Cabin in the Woods (2012) (go in spoiler-free with this one) are both good comedy horror.
I was not prepared for how good Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is!
Try this one.
