yea i know its shit, but what isnt? it was a good attempt at something different.. they tried to make it work later with other movies but it wasnt the same.
Yea if you watch these movies in 2022 they're gonna be a waste of time, if you're looking to get scared watching movies you're wasting your time with all of them too.
The Thing and In the Mouth of Madness are horrors that stood the test of time imo, carpenter is a genius

I’m very hesitant to watch anything made after 2018, insofar as those will usually be completely bloated with globohomo faggotry and will most likely be unwatchable. But even though I agree with you that the more well-crafted and thought-provoking movies were created long ago, there are still some modern ones that crop up that are at least watchable/mildly interesting. Hence my earlier attempt to list non-classics that may be of interest.

you are right perhaps i never really looked into these modern films because i thought if they werent well known or mainstream they were probably shit, but likely mainstream taste is what went to shit and the good taste is in the lesser known. The budget issue sucks though

You could try watching the first 20 minutes or so and judge them from there. If you already have a streaming service that supplies the titles, might as well give them a try. I truly do understand being wary of newer titles. I love horror enough to keep searching for stories that provide deeper thought as well as entertainment. I like to think I have decent standards and an eye for quality, although I may have tastes that differ from yours. Idk, I wouldn’t have recommended the films I did if they were vapid and devoid of any craftsmanship. Do what you will with that.
