We all either love horror films, or hate horror films. What’s that film that kept you up at night? The one that you re-watch all the time? The one that made you groan at ‘the big reveal’?
Favourite: Evil Dead (2013). It was just insane, wonderfully gory and made you wanna squirm.
Least favourite: Sharkenstein (2016). Watching this film, I gained a new appreciation for Meet The Spartans.
Favorite: The Thing, the John Carpenter one from the 80s. It is perfect.
Least favorite: Nightmare on Elm Street. I like other Craven stuff but could never get into this one.
2nd The Thing, you know it’s good horror when it still holds up today.
I recently watched this for the first time and I adored it. To anybody who hasn’t seen it, it not only holds-up to modern movies, the effects frankly blow most modern movies out of the water.
The sound design is nuts, the scream the Thing makes is honestly one of the most distinctive sounds I have ever heard from any horror movie monster.
Hah, this was going to be my answer as well.
One of my favorite scenes in The Thing is when McCready is sitting at his desk making an audio recording with an open door out of focus in the background. The way the shot just lingers there while the audience sits in dread of what might happen is great.
