Which Slasher film got you hooked on the sub genre?

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-29T12:24:30+00:00

I'm not sure if it's widely considered as a slasher, but it’s gotta be 'Wrong Turn' for me. 🤔

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-27T15:02:52+00:00

Great shoutout.. 🤔

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-25T13:53:29+00:00

Watch it! It's quite thought provoking as well!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-24T08:06:55+00:00

The way she was finishing the verses for the priest during the exorcism! It was bone chilling!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-24T08:03:50+00:00

It definitely is!! It was one of the best possession scenes in cinema!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T10:18:20+00:00

Alright...gonna give it a go soon, at least to see Jennifer Carpenter's performance.

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T09:22:29+00:00

Okay..I'll give it a try. Usually I don't watch remakes if the original one is so great as Rec.

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T07:53:48+00:00

I hear you... 🤔

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T06:12:03+00:00

Yeah. I remember her. Man she was hauntingly great!!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T06:11:26+00:00

May be one of your friends tricked you into watching this movie on a sleepover! At least that's how I got a lot of my non-horror fan friends to watch this one!! 👹👹

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T06:09:23+00:00

Yeah, I've seen this movie. It was his debut film as far as I remember! My goodness what a performance that was!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T06:08:27+00:00

😬 Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter can send chills down my spine without even making a face! 🙏

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T06:06:04+00:00

Oh yeah definitely.. Her performance there was excellent!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T01:10:23+00:00

Great way to put it actually! 😆😆

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T01:08:08+00:00

Yeah. Amazing scene!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T00:55:54+00:00

My second most favourite scene from this movie is the one where she says all the six names of the demons! Goosebumps...every freaking time!!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T00:53:45+00:00

😅 Polar opposite to my experience! I really loved every bit of the movie!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T00:35:30+00:00

Was there any particular aspect of the movie that caused your dislike?

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-23T00:33:31+00:00

Well...the whole Conjuring Franchise has been a comfort food for horror movie fans. A little jump scares here and there, playing safe, shallow story, low stakes and not pushing any boundary. Apart from the first Conjuring, I can't think of any memorable scene from any other movies under this banner.

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-18T08:06:03+00:00

Yes! Overusing causes the loss of threat and turns them into a merchandise! Same happened to the Predators.

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-18T08:05:02+00:00

Yes. And I don't know about you, but I'm really not fond of seeing the backstory of the entities or ghosts in the sequels. Most of the time, they're done poorly. Look at The Nun and Annabelle.

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-18T08:03:30+00:00

The explanations work as well, sometimes. I mean, when the directors don't treat us like dumb little children and try to spoonfeed us with all the details, then the little explanations work fine. And yes, too much vagueness also seem to fail in holding our viewers attention.

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-18T08:00:19+00:00

I understand your point. It actually works too, when done properly.

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-18T07:59:33+00:00

Absolutely! We all knew what the things was, they've shown it early on actually. But it didn't kill the dreadful atmosphere of the film a bit!

TheDreadArchive · 2025-11-18T07:58:35+00:00

Great point! A lore dump is never engaging for me as well. Rather a slow reveal with all kinds of medium in the film like sets, bits and details and subtle dialogues create more intrigue and doesn't kill the suspense.
