Is it just “what’s trendy”? I’ve seen two recently. The Wretched and Hereditary. I figured y’all would have some insight.
You laughed through the Exorcist?? That movie (which I shouldn't have watched but "sneak" watched it through the doorway the very first time and regretted it) gave me nightmares and stuck in my head for a LONG time.. I mean, I was probably 10 or 11 at the time but sht wudn't funnyI haven't watched those two films but I'd probably laugh at them anyway like I did all through "The Exorcist"..
I've seen a plethora of occult horror films in the 80's when I was a kid. To name a few, Angel Heart, Witches of Eastwick, The Seventh Sign, Amityville, Witchboard, Puppet Master.. It def seems trendy when you look at Netflix nowadays, but it's hard to know if this is "on course" with the way it's always been and maybe we're now seeing the pattern with new eyes?Is it just “what’s trendy”?

Yea...I think you right.I've seen a plethora of occult horror films in the 80's when I was a kid.

oooo thank you for the recs! I'm going to check them out. Curious, how old were you when the Laughorcist hit the Brit mainstream?One of the best horror films I've seen is 'The Stone Tape'; where a high-tech electronics group working in an old country house discover that the place has a ghost, so they devote all their efforts into triggering it and capturing it.
In this clip, the ghost puts in its first appearance-
And here's the full film on youtube-
I was adult when I first saw the Exorcist and thought it was real funny.oooo thank you for the recs! I'm going to check them out. Curious, how old were you when the Laughorcist hit the Brit mainstream?
ok, i'm realizing it's hard to watch something that would have been scarier when you were a kid, as an adult. I totally get the humor in the Exorcist, looking at it objectively now lolOne of the best horror films I've seen is 'The Stone Tape'; where a high-tech electronics group working in an old country house discover that the place has a ghost, so they devote all their efforts into triggering it and capturing it.

I have a few friends who share the same feeling about watching horror. There's something about the emotional rollercoaster, discovering the dark unknown, and mostly, the feeling of safety (i.e., viewing from the comfort of my living room) that has always drawn me toward them. I'm more of a psychological thriller fan and can't stand gore movies (which seem to be filled with cheap reactionary tactics than clever, in my opinion).I find ALL horror movies disturbing, to view.
I don't know how people can stomach watching them? Talk about desensitization. Gross. Then again doctors and medical professionals see some incredibly vile sh** and then go on to have lunch....go figure!
The son of a friend came to see me today. Since the guy went to college he was exposed to all kind of spiritual crap you can imagine. Karl Marx, Nietzsche and I suspect that Aleister Crowley and the Thelema too. He became so "open minded" (desconstruído is the term I want to use) that he came to think that things like incest and walking around naked are normal and showering and brushing your teeth aren't.This is either what happens when someone dabbles in the occult and isn't prepared or either it is some elite crap.
Update! The guy made it! He is functional again, altough he has some minor episodes and some erratic behaviors sometimes he pretty much left behind all the trash he was into, is doing great at the law school and he is preparing to the law exam thing you must do before you can work or whateverWhat I believe, tough, is that what happened was some Hereditary-like sh_t. The guy became a vessel to all kinds of terrible toughts and it pushed his body to its limits, now that he has no strenght left he is just an empty shell devoid of everything. He couldn't even talk anymore, he just babbles some disconected words.
Well, I hope that he finds order in his life again.
I was gonna bring this one up, VC has already done a great article on it. Honestly, the movie disturbed me 4 a while. I really believe it was showing us what it takes to reach star status in the industry (read about Nicole Kidman & her father)if you guys want to watch a good horror movie and it was about occult , illuminati in the showbiz, you should watch this :
yes some asian horror movie are fucked up , i see some in the lockdown here in italy,2 years agoI was gonna bring this one up, VC has already done a great article on it.

But about the horror genre, I literally brought up this very topic to my friends a cpl weeks ago. We cldnt decide on a "scary" movie because 1) they're all torture porn movies (like Saw, Hostile, etc...) 2) or they all have some kind demon/satan story.... for a long time I would only watch Japanese or other Asian horror because they were all mostly old school "scary ghost stories" or stories based on curses that once believed to be true in their cultures. But recently I've found like a 1/2 dozen Asian horror movies that dealt with straight up demon possessions like the Exorcist. All based in Christian faith, all had a Catholic Priest etc. The only 1 that I can think of right now was called "Metamorphosis" & it was straight up devil/occult crap
