And after they told me they saw it without volume I was like, “But there are scenes where the characters and aliens DO talk and make noises and the noises are plot relevant,” to which they replied, “Yeah it got confusing at times, but overall it was still a pretty good movie.”
So that’s an idiots review of John Kraniski’s A Quiet Place
My favorite thing about the quiet place sequel coming out is being reminded that I know someone who watched the entire first movie without realizing the volume on their phone wasn’t on and still liked the movie

The Ritual | ☆☆☆1/2
spoilers ahead
I just finished watching The Ritual and it was definitely one of the more unique horror movies I've watched so far. I've only just dipped my toes into the horror genre, but I've been surprised by how creative they can be. The Ritual wasn't a show-stopping movie, but it was definitely chilling and spooky when it needed to be.
The monster design was phenomenal and they revealed it very well in the end.
SO. COOL.
I loved the concept of the monster being the "bastard offspring" of Loki and how it can manipulate your dreams and trick you. It was really fun putting the pieces together and I was glad that my theory (the people that lived in the forest were hikers that went missing and worship the god in exchange for their lives) was right.
The acting was phenomenal all around. Whenever I try to think about whose acting really stood out, I can't think of just one of the main characters. Hotch's scream was seriously a scene stealer though, super chilling.
There were moments in the film that really reminded me of the Blair Witch Project. I like found footage style movies even though they're literally terrifying, so The Ritual wasn't a pleasant surprise.
Was it a life changing movie that made me think? No, but it was good because it was really entertaining and well done. It delivered what I wanted it to: a solid horror movie that was a little scary with a cool concept. Also, the cinematography was a 10/10 and I will definitely be rewatching it again (because me and my sister were cracking jokes the whole time, so I have to get in a scared mood by myself with the lights off).
𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐈'𝐌 𝐀 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐑!!!

Alien by Paolo Rivera
Really wanted to finish this before friday Have a great Spooky month everyone and stay safe!
I bring a sort of 'I was dead this whole time' vibe that people who didn't know they were in a horror movie don't really appreciate
If there’s one thing you need to know about me is that I LOVE zombies
A lot of media with zombies will be a hit with me because it’s not about the zombies it’s about what people do with the trope
LIKE at this point it’s not about the damn zombies, they’re a plot device to help you deepen your characters and people can do that in such an interesting way in apocalypse stories
ALSO THE WAY THE ZOMBIES ARE CHANGED IN EVERY STORY I LOVE THAT I JUST LOVE WHEN PEOPLE HAVE FUN WITH IT THAT WAY !!!
I don’t watch enough zombie apocalypse media even though I love it😔
any good recommendations will be really appreciated too:))
OHHH YOU DONT WANT TO HEAR ME TALK ABOUT A QUIET FUCKING PLACE
LOOK I DONT FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THINGS BUT OH MY GOD IT WAS AN ENTIRE WASTE OF AN HOUR
Maybe I’m just not like good at seeing the depths and nuance of film or whatever but THE CHARACTERS WERE STUPID AND I CANT ENJOY SOMETHING WITH STUPID CHARACTERS THAT ARENT STUPID ON PURPOSE!!! THEY COULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS FAMILY IS A STUPID STUPID FAMILY THAT IS DUMB BUT THEY DONT EVEN DO THAT??? THE MOVIE ACTS LIKE THEY SHOULD SURVIVE WHEN THEY ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT!!!
RAAAA WHY IS SHE PREGNANT WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THETES EVIL BEASTS WHO WILL EAT HER BABY ESPECIALLY WHEN HER OTHER KID DIED TOO LIKE 😒
They could’ve made it less stupid by saying ‘oh she was pregnant BEFORE the quiet place happened’ BUT IT SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT SHE GOT PREGNANT WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING! IN WHAT FANTASY LAND ARE YOU LIVING IN THAT MAKES YOU THINK OH YEAH LETS HAVE SEX WITH OUR KIDS IN THE HOUSE AND ALSO MONSTERS ROAMING AROUND !!!
Don’t even with me right now IT MAKES ME SO IRRATIONALLY MAD !!!
Don’t watch a quiet place I could sum the whole movie up in about 4 ish paragraphs. nothing significant happens until the end AND BY THAT POINT ITS OVER!!
But prove me wrong I like hearing different opinions👍
just watched Talk To Me and I might have Real Thoughts on it later but for now I just have that Daniel was definitely asexual or ace-coded
Scream (1996) dir. Wes Craven
More horror dogs
DO NOT REPOST
If I was in the Movie "The Boy" pt 1
Note: I seen that Netflix added the film and I didn't hesitate to watch it. I absolutely love it. ❤️
BNHA Rarepair Horror Fest #1!
~~~~~~~~~~
This event was organized by: @bnhararepairhub

Rarepair - Izuku Midoriya x Melissa Shield (DekuLissa/DekuMeli)
Prompt/Title - Japanese Horror Movies
Cold autumn wind whistled outside Midoriya’s apartment. It was October 31st - so what better to do than to cuddle with your girlfriend and watch classic American horror movies?
“What do you want to watch now?” Melissa held the TV remote in her hands, waiting for her boyfriend to fire a suggestion.
“What have we watched so far?”
“Too much to count,” Melissa didn’t want to think about the incredulous amount of time they had spent watching movies.
Midoriya thought for a moment as he stretched the hours of binge watching out of him. “As much as I love your American movies, why don’t we watch some of mine?”
“You have horror movies?”
“Not just any horror movies - the scariest Japanese horror movies of all time!!”
Melissa laughed, “Okay, let’s see if they’re as scary as you say they are.”
Midoriya shuffled through his collection of DVDs and shoved one in the DVD player.
“Prepare yourself…” he chuckled.
—LATER—
The living room was dark, which was good, because then Midoriya couldn’t see Melissa’s petrified face. But it also didn’t matter, because she clung to him like Velcro anyway.
Midoriya held back a laugh, “are you scared?”
“Maybe…” admitted Melissa. “I hate this movie…”
Midoriya pet the back of her hair, “Ju-On is a classic.”
She scoffed, “so is IT.”
He laughed at her quip and pulled her close. “Don’t worry, it’s all fiction anyway.”
As the movie moved to its credits, bold, white words stood out from the dark background:
BASED ON A TRUE STORY

The nicest girl you've ever met is watching Terrifier 3 and has multiple slasher smutfics in her likes.
Thank you for the painting commission grandpa, enjoy your spooky painting
Any month can be spooky if you put your mind to it
“there are several reasons why the horror genre declined – in both quality and popularity – at the tail end of the 1930s & into the 40s. firstly, the narrative conventions became so well established that they appeared formulaic and predictable, especially when the same-old same-old monsters were put into rotation time and time again. then, political strife curtailed a lot of european filmmaking. thirdly, movies with supernatural, violent, science fiction or fantasy elements became a target for literal-minded censors, who were concerned that the masses might believe or, still worse, imitate the horrors they witnessed on the silver screen.”
I was rewatching X-men: First class and I need Michael Fassbender as Albert Wesker
Is it so much to ask that I just be allowed to lay around reading horror novels, playing indie horror games, and drinking coffee all day, then lay around all night watching horror movies and paranormal inestigation shows, and maybe write some horror short stories on the weekend which I then post to reddit as if they're first-hand accounts of spooky stuff that may or may not have actually happened to me?
I don't think I'm being unreasonable here.
Blood and Honey 2 review
**No Spoilers**
I watched Blood and Honey 2 on opening night and I was surprised. The first movie was mediocre and my hopes for the sequel were in the gutter. It seems director Rhys Frake-Waterfield worked out some kinks from the first movie. Maybe constructive criticism did its job here and Frake-Waterfield listened to the reviews of the first film.
The first Blood and Honey film put spectacle over storytelling. The production team expected the sensationalism of the concept to carry it through and they were mistaken. Reviewing the first film in any serious capacity would be a mistake, as it’s clear they weren’t trying to make a serious film. They took the sequel more seriously, which opened the door for guys like me to tear into it. For people like me who have seen a lot of slasher flicks, Blood and Honey was nothing to write home about. During my viewing of the first film, I had to fight to stay awake.
The sequel changed some details from the first film. For starters, this film includes characters such as Owl and Tigger, who weren’t in the public domain when the first movie was in production. I was pissed Tigger wasn’t in the first film. Tigger is the Batman to Pooh’s Superman and if anyone can tell you with a straight face they prefer Pooh to Tigger they are not to be trusted. Another change I enjoyed was the redesign of Pooh and Piglet. I understand the original design was about taking the original character of Pooh and making him scary, but you can’t tell me that Pooh is supposed to be a bear-human hybrid and then show me a man with yellow leathery skin. In this film, they updated Pooh to look more animalistic, giving him hints of fur and razor-sharp teeth.
They also changed the leading man, recasting Christopher Robin’s character with producer Scott Chambers. The acting in this film is pretty standard. The strongest link in the crew was Tallulah Evans who had good charisma as her character Lexy. Except Lexy, the supporting roles were not greatly noticeable and they didn’t take up a lot of runtime.
The special effects were a step up, as well. In the first film, the crummy effects made the gore look a lot less like blood and guts and more like some cheap props you could buy at a discount store. I'm surprised that Pooh didn't appear after the credits and thank PartyCity for sponsoring the movie. In the sequel, the props looked very professional. The gore looked real enough to make your stomach turn but not so real you can’t enjoy snacking during the movie.
Character-wise, I was invested in Christopher’s story. I was rooting for him right from the beginning. This film opens with everyone in his small town believing he’s a brutal killer and that leaves him on a quest to deal with his trauma and confront his monsters (both real and figurative). I liked the supporting characters. It was very endearing to see how much Lexy and Bunny (Thea Evans) cared about Christopher and believed in him when a lot of people didn’t.
While I was invested in Christopher’s journey, the first three-quarters of the movie dragged a bit. Christopher is on a quest for answers, so naturally, a lot of the film is him trying to get to those answers any way he can. But this is still a slasher film! During this “investigative” period, they throw in a few kills to keep us invested, but Christopher and Pooh don’t even confront each other until the final quarter of the film.
Speaking of the kills, they were very brutal. Bear traps, exploding campers, flaming chainsaws, what fun! A lot of people may think, ‘A flaming chainsaw? That isn’t realistic!’ All I have to say is, dude, if you’re worried about how a flaming chainsaw isn’t realistic then maybe a movie about animal-human hybrids isn’t for you.
The score was fine, but there were times when the music was a little out of place. It was disorienting to be watching a sad or frightening scene and hear music that sounded hopeful. The narrator also took the piss out of the movie. It was so jarring to watch a serious and intense scene and then to jump to narration like someone is reading a bedtime story to us.
About that plot twist… Words cannot describe how out of left field it was. I’m glad they explained where the creatures came from, but… yikes. It was entertaining, but a bit convoluted. Also, why did Pooh have to be that character the whole time? That just complicates Christopher and Pooh’s relationship in a way it didn’t need to be complicated. They already had a troubled past together, so why make it more tragic for no reason?
Then there was the rave scene. I almost cheered when Tigger came onto the scene. I love Tigger! Whether he’s bouncing around in a colorful cartoon or murdering people with his claws and calling his victims fluorescent bitches, Tigger is the OG of the Hundred Acre Wood. And it was so fun to see Pooh batter people around while trap music played. It reminded me of that party bus scene from Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022). I also loved how Pooh and the others kept Tigger in a cage because they knew how fucking crazy he was.
Was it a good movie? Uh, sure? It wasn’t the best slasher I’ve ever seen but watching it wasn’t a complete waste of time. I would wait until this one hits streaming services before you go watch it. A part of me feels stupid for spending money to watch such a mediocre movie when I could have just waited for it to come to Peacock. That being said, I’m genuinely excited to see what else the Twitsted Childhood Universe has to offer.
I believe Frake-Waterfield is self-aware about how stupid these movies are. But they’re fun to watch and I bet they’re pretty fun to make. There are worse moves to watch this weekend.
Final score = 62.5%
