Splice
I just watched this movie last night.
Horror movies are usually just enjoyable for me. Gore doesn't bother me very much as long as I know it's not real.
But this movie made me literally cringe. A lot.
The atmosphere it sets up just feels so very real, and the violence and bad things feel disturbing because of that.
There is humor and moments of lightheartedness, but it is all meaningful. It feels like it's saying something most of the time. It's all related to the themes of the movie.
I'd love to talk about it with anyone who's seen it. If you liked it, say why, if not, say why!
Yeah i watched it. Nothing in this movie really scared me. Except the last 20 minutes. And that one part in the where
But still a good movie.
i saw it because i got a free movie pass to see it..... even if it was free i regretted watching it, it was more messed up than hostel in my opinion :/
Ugh, I don't like the new horror movies. Too much R rated content thrown in to please people who couldn't enjoy the good old ones (even if the old ones were a little cheesy).

Enough said. I really don't want to watch this. Are we also going to discuss other horror movies in this topic?
If so
A friend had nearly all Nightmare on Elm Street movies on dvd. Pretty fun to watch (I don't get what people have against making Freddy funny/creepy instead of just very creepy).
I've been meaning to see the old Halloween movies. They had two on Netflix, and I saw some on AMC a few years ago.
Also a few films by John Carpenter:
The Thing
Ghosts of Mars
Village of the D***ed (lets just say "darned")
Any recommendations?
I didn't think it was SCARY, just unsettling, deeply disturbing, and a depressing but insightful look at how exactly people can end up going too far.
They tried to stop the threat or almost did many times, and every time that they didn't it was plausible why not. You could see what was going on with them that led to it, or what unavoidable circumstance led to it failing.
Ah the one with Adrian Brody? I have watched too much horror and disturbing stuff that not much really gets to me, was a good movie. The end when the monster thing raped her was pretty intense though, also at the very start when those little test subjects started killing each other in front of the audience was pretty good too.
The scene with the two experiments and the rape scene were the two scenes where I was just entirely repulsed and disgusted and was instinctively backing as far away as I could from the movie, right into the back of my couch.
That line will be in my nightmares: "Insssssiiiiiideeee yooouuuu"
It's so much worse that it was twisted from the encouraging and caring term that she used it for previously.
I was on the floor laughing when I first watched "The Exorcist", so not a lot really gets to me.
I've never seen The Exorcist, but I'm reasonably sure splice isn't like that.
There are a variety of things it does to make you very uncomfortable with what's going on, not really scared as in jump scares or the monster makes you go insane with how disgusting it is or there's a ridiculous amount of gore, but just... wanting to stop what's happening.
It doesn't feel right.
