I’m a fan of old school horror, here are a few recommendations...
1. The fog
2. Creepshow 1/2
3. Pumpkin head
4. Monster squad
5. Cujo
6. The beyond
Obviously we have the likes of evil dead, elm st etc.. but above are a few hidden gems for your entertainment

that would be a good recommendation for me
I dont watch horror because I've never seen one horrific/horrifying/scary movie
they all seem so......dumb; I'm like man, run or punch, stop flailing, screaming and tripping

I dunno, I've never had a nightmare in my life and I dont startle (apparently a terrible trait lol - its a good survival instinct) - so im keen to find a really, truly, scary movie

The Japanese & Koreans do the best horror - fact. I don't think there exists the perfect ultimate horror film, but for psychological shenanigans their output is unrivalled.

They had a purple patch in the early '00s where seemingly every film was good. But for simple starters you need look no further than Ringu or Juon. Dark Water is also good.

Most recent Asian film I'd seen was The Wailing, which was superb

Freddy Krueger, Night mare on Elm Street

Has anyone seen this one yet?

Stephen King fan here

Watched the Equalizer 2 late last night, funniest part about that is how the Sky PIN reminder for violent content etc popped up really late on in the film.

"Oh wow, there must be an unsavoury scene coming up"..........

Nah, it was just the credits

So after having seen executions, limb breaks, eye-gouges & stabbings it prompts me for my onscreen password to shield me from these things and they say technology is dead

The film itself was OK. It had The Denzel in it, so that's all that mattered

Denzel has still got it

 

[goatwack]

Denzel has still got it

He does actually! I don't think I've ever seen a bad performance of his, he's as dependable as they come

Which is a great prod to mention Training Day, if no one has already. Ethan Hawke/ Denzel combo superb, good film and always rewatchable, for Denzel alone

 

[mina1929]

Talking about Skippy Goatie this movie was hilarious

I might just watch Training Day again it was a really good movie

I first saw denzel in 'carbon copy' in the 80's, it was quite a good riches to rags film, and then 'queen and country' where he played a british squaddie struggling to fit back into civilian life, not a great film, he was in st.elsewhere the tv drama... And then at some point his movie career just took off, not sure about the equalizer remake movies as haven't seen them and I still feel Edward Woodward can never be replaced or improved upon...

Ahh he was so young there, you should watch Equalizer and let us know what you think

 

[goatwack]

A film I watched again merely the other evening was Oblivion, with Tom Cruise. He's nailed sci-fi films of late, but whereas Edge of Tomorrow may have been more action-oriented, Oblivion just slipped under the radar.

Stunning cinematography, score, great turns and a good enough story, it really is an underrated gem. One of his best performances I feel as well

yeah I must get round to that, I can imagine denzel's good in it, maybe they should have just given it a new title, 'the protector' I'm thinking it might be like his man on fire role, that was a decent film with a strong ending.

I like the look of that, I prefer Tom Cruise now far more than in his 'cocktail' style films, eyes close shut wasn't bad the first time, quite tense and eerie when he was being followed...

Here's the trailer for good measure

 

[BillyGoldblum]

The highwaymen on netflix was great. Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson hunting down Bonnie and Clyde

 

[Playford7]

Always thought collateral was on cruises best performance. Was superb in that

Not really a Tom fan but 'edge of tomorrow' was a good sci fi.....the one where he repeats the day

 

[Playford7]

No country for old men is a masterpiece for cinematography.
Also robot jox is a great old classic, Pacific rims father I’d describe it as

I love Woody! Hands up who loves Woody?

 

[goatwack]

Woody good. Seen A Scanner Darkly? He's a right derp in that

Out of the Furnace is another good one that has both Harrelson AND Christian Bale Underrated film, I'd recommend it highly

Really liked a scanner darkly, not seen the other......the woody thing was an attempt at schoolboy humour that's so hard for me to get across on text
