Watching the Korean movie “The Wailing” was fantastic as a movie in general.
I also liked Smile if you want something more traditionally horror.
Final suggestion is Event Horizon because I fucking love that movie.
I still rewatch Event Horizon like once a year. It really doesn’t hold up all that well, but it’s a classic that I loved as a kid. I wish Paul W.S. Anderson would do more like it instead of a million terrible movies starring his wife.
Smile was better than I was expecting. It wasn’t great, but a lot of cool, creepy imagery kept me interested.
And The Wailing is something every horror fan should see. It’s so good. Korean Horror is almost always worth a watch.
The fact that the hell footage, including the blood orgy sequence (filmed with actual adult film stars), is lost forever is the true nightmare of Event Horizon. Another reason to hate Titanic.
EDIT: Context
Oh wow, I knew about the lost footage, but not about the Titanic connection. Thanks!
I should probably re-watch Event Horizon. I am not big into gore and I fucking hated it back when.
But perspectives change (mine by a lot) something tells me I might sing a different tune.
Everybody keeps praising it on here.
Also Sam Neill is always amazing in my book. And of course Lawrence Fishburne too.
If you love Sam Neill (as well you should) check out “In the Mouth of Madness”, and it even fits the Halloween theme.
I don’t know what I’m missing with Event Horizon. I’d heard it repeatedly recommended, so decided to watch it with the wife who’s much more into horror. Neither of us really enjoyed it. The effects were cool, but the writing was kinda so over the place and it just didn’t really leave an impact.
