Where do you read reviews and why rely on them? Its just one persons opinion.

It’s not what the monsters …look like, or jump scares

it’s clear torture porn I am talking about with a sickening perverse, psychology. Cronenberg’s “Crash” was an early example.

Back in the early 90’s I was fortunate enough to score several low-budget horror flicks on VHS in those huge “clamshell” cases when a video rental place closed.

@Nemesis I was on the fence but based on your recommendation I’ll check this out. I thought the original made-for-TV movie was kind of boring.

It was very typical of made for TV movies of its time. Especially with the limits of terrestrial TV.

I used to love 90s made for tv movies based on King

They were perfect Cheese - IT, the langoliers, and storm of the century.

Body horror isn’t horror at all in this case. This was pure violent suspense

Did you hate “Seven?”

31

I’m with you on all those, but “The Shining” from 1997 :nauseated_face:

It’s probably way before your time, but “Dark Night of the Scarecrow” is a very good made-for-TV horror flick. It has the perfect atmosphere for this time of year.

All three were great. IT in many ways was better than the recent movie adaptation.

It really was. It had more time to flesh out the characters than the movie did. The movie cut out way too much of the character development to fit its runtime.

34

No. Grisly is one thing, psychosexual obsession is another. It openly panders to sickos. Silence of the lambs is grisly, but it wasn;t catering to sickos

35

I think it can be compelling if the protagonist is genuinely interesting and tragic in its depiction.

36

There is a trend toward torture porn . In the 60’s a Florida production company made some really evil, disgusting movies and placed double features in drive-in theaters.
Those filmmaker were suspected of being involved in snuff films.

37

Oh yeah wasn’t that some movie that was filmed in Brazil or something? And it had scenes of a dude getting beat to death by some native Brazilians? Or something like that?

38

There was “Mondo Cane” and few others in that genre, beating boars to death, etc.

There was one depicting an artist painting with blood from a woman’s head and body. Looked real. Videodromes

You’re talking about “Color Me Blood Red” by Herschell Gordon Lewis, from 1965. That’s one of the VHS tapes I scored when that video store closed that I mentioned in an earlier post.
With all due respect, it does not look real. All of those Herschell Gordon Lewis drive-in flicks from the 60’s (Blood Feast, 2000 Maniacs, Gruesome Twosome…) fall under the “so terrible they’re hilarious” category. :rofl:

I didn’t find them funny. They looked “real” on LSD. But regardless, they were sick with no redeeming value.
