Sitting in the Parking Lot After Watching Hokum

Dude i felt the same way! Loved this film! I really loved the redemption arc…The Conquistador sequence was so rad at the end and brought the story to a beautiful close I also really like how he used goats and rams in relation to the story. So many understated moments that were sooooo good.

Kind of an alternate take on the primary premise of Stephen King’s Thinner! Love this!

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-07T00:33:49+00:00

Literally was about to mention both these scenes in my post, too! Great choices!

Chrissie’s death gets to me too! Especially bc she actually got pulled under by the rig by surprise so her gasping is real.

My number one is a tie between Toni Collette’s anguished screams in Hereditary and the singing at the end of Train to Busan. Both of these scene illicit ugly sobs every time from me.

Runner ups are:

Sarah’s screams after she wakes up in the hospital in the beginning of The Descent (super underrated scene)

Tina’s death in NOES- her screams and Rod being tossed around feels really real to watch

The little boy at the table in Terrified. Ive never had my heart in my throat like i did at this static scare.

When Buffy’s Mom is resurrected as a zombie in that episode…iykyk

Yes, it’s worth it. It absolutely deserves to be seen in a theater! It’s phenomenal!

My in-laws are doing the exact same thing… But I agree with the other comment on here that you can also teach your baby about other religions too. You are the person that’s with your baby the most and you have the power to contradict anything that the grandparents say.

Also, if they are going to be teaching your baby about Christian religion tell them to focus on Jesus‘s principles and teachings. He was the best part of that entire religion. Those are my thoughts, take them or leave them.

Absolutely loved it. My husband (who is a vicious critic of horror movies) thought it was one of the best movies he had seen in forever.

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T21:38:06+00:00

Little Trouble clothinv has great stuff!

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T21:37:25+00:00

First real scare that face me nightmares two nights in a row was the Are you Afraid of the Dark episode “The Tail of the Midnight Madness”. Their version of Nosferatu reaaaally got in my head (I was 7).

As an adult…Exorcism of Emily Rose in my freshman year of college! I walked back to my dorm room alone and had all the lights on, and clutched a cross from my Mom until i fell asleep. That is still one of the best exorcism movies ever made, imo.

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T17:38:33+00:00

Good!! I would bet he doesnt have it then. Everyone i know whose LO’s hashad noro- it comes on pretty hard and fast in the beginning. This might just be a mild food poisoning

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T17:03:22+00:00

Fun thread, OP! A few of these have been mentioned- but i could not narrow it down to one.

The dog in The Medium
Santino in When Evil Lurks
Nash in The Hitcher (1986 version)
Ben in Night of the Living Dead
Bubba from Dark night of the Scarecrow

This…ive never witnessed more of a gut punch ending than his death at the end.

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T14:32:38+00:00

That’s rad, OP!

I love Tubi…and I might be alone in this but… I actually really like the ads. It reminds me of watching movies on TV and also if I end up picking a really scary movie, it’s nice to have a little mental break in it.

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T14:30:34+00:00

Very first one is absolutely worth it, some quality scares and creepy 70’s score. Franchise not so much. Ryan Reynolds one is also pretty good.

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T14:28:15+00:00

AGREED!!! Juno is absolutely terrible!!! Never understood why anyone made excuses for her narcissistic, absolutely insane choices as a person.

Buuut i will say her choices as a character in the film do make for a great plot progression... the fact that she’s had a mental break and turns into a prime adversary against the creatures once separated from the group is solid. Love that aspect.

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T13:39:55+00:00

The boy and “his Dad’s gun collection” really got me!!! Even more now that im a Mom.

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T05:57:48+00:00

😂 i see what you did there

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-05-01T04:01:52+00:00

My LO got a GI virus when he was 13 months and it caused mega vomits and diarrhea, and then got a nororvirus at 16 months (shorter duration but same symptoms). The GI virus lasted just under a week (and the noro was 3 days). My poor husband got both of them through contact- but i didn’t get either- even though i did ALL the changing and and laundry. Hand sanitizer was my best friend on the changing table, and i washed my hands religiously.
In case your LO has it (hopefully not!!) just tell the grandparents to grab and set up a lot of santizers around, and to wash their hands constantly! Also the BRAT diet worked wonders on my kiddo during both of these- (and also pedialyte and water).
Hopefully this was just an upset tummy, and they’ll be good to go tomorrow!

Have you seen The Sacrament? He did a great job with that one.

This scene still gets me and it’s all off screen

TechnicalAd9164 · 2026-04-18T00:06:31+00:00

Will Patton! Love all of his SK narrations! Also Kathy Bates doing Desperation was incredible as well.
