    I dont know about 2016 but id say 2013-2015 had an unusually high number of really good horror. A much higher quality than we had between the years of like.. 1998-2010.

    The latest films are just ok to me. Seems like they are just keeping the genre afloat. I am still waiting for something to blow me away. Maybe the next found footage or something

    I still think crap flicks in the 70's and 80's were/are better than the crap flicks now....all in all we are not going to agree on what is good and what isn't good. We can sit here and say most movies of 2016 sucked and yet 20 other people could say it was the best year for horror in decades...it's just how it is...

    Sorry for the poor quality video. Basic backstory is Henry Rollins was in a Starbucks during a biker show of some sort. An intimating man recognized him and broke down in tears. Turns out him and his wife's favorite christmas movie was Jack Frost (the kids movie) and she had passed away a few years ago. The video cuts off but one of his friend's walked over assuming Henry had made his friend cry and was about to throw down. When the man explained he was in Jack Frost he immediately understood the tears and comforted his friend.



    While don't get me wrong shit movies are shit but to someone it can be one of their favorites. Just felt this was fitting here.

    Yes!!! The Witch. Definitely not for everyone but it set eerie mood like the The Exorcist or The Omen did.

    No way has there been a horror film that can be compared to The Exorcist.

    I agree and disagree.

    There have been a few good commercial/non commercial horror films released..You're Next, Don't Breathe, Autopsy of Jane Doe, It Follows, The Babadook, The Witch, Asylum Blackout, Sinister (not the sequel), Krampus, The Conjuring, Split, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Green Room, Trick or Treat to name a few...I believe that you also have to look into and consider the foreign horror films too. Films like...The Orphanage, High Tension, Cold Prey (1 and 2), Macabre, Baskin, Goodnight Mommy, Frontiers, Inside, Eden Lake, Martyrs etc...

    I also think its a good thing that TODAY making a film is more accessible to anyone. We don't have to depend on Hollywood to deliver the goods..lol

    I disagree.

    Most movies suck, very few are actually competent enough to be genuinely good in both story/character-depth and entertainment value.

    I love indie horror films because they're always going to be the most frightening because they experiment with different and original stories that are actually good than just being a gimmick that most indie movies and mainstream movies always do because most are con-artists.

    Mainstream horror movies are too afraid to do anything outside of the predictable spectrum because they want to entertain audiences than to terrify them, which isn't always bad if the movies in question are entertaining or so bad they're good like The Conjuring 2, Sinister 2, Insidious 2, Deliver Us From Evil...they make movies that look too polished and too pretty, and beautiful isn't scary, unless you're Dario Argento or Guillermo Del Toro...

    The Babadook, It Follows, Brian Paulin's Cryptic Plasm, Dustin Mills's Kill that Bitch, Cabin in the Woods, The Witch, Lights Out, Don't Breathe, Splice, Split, Get Out, A Cure for Wellness, Crimson Peak, A Serbian Film, Frankenstein's Army, Splinter, Manborg, Frankenstein vs The Mummy, The Funhouse Massacre, Krampus, Trick 'r Treat, Starry Eyes, AntiChrist, Horsehead, American Guinea Pig 1 & 2, Naoyoshi Kawamastu's The Undertaker...just to name a few that stood out from the rest of the horrible, shitty, boring, predictable, cliched and disgustingly-stupid horror movies that provide no entertainment value nor challenge the viewer in terms of scary or gruesome or disturbing or traumatic material.

    There will always be horror fans who shit on the indie realm because they think it'll be instant shit that it's not funded by a studio to make it look more official, when it was the indie realm that is the very blood stream of the horror genre that will always succeed when you have horror fans who are inspired to make their own thing like Brian Paulin, Dustin Wayde Mills, John Carpenter, George A. Romero and myself included along with others who give a damn about the genre.

    Mainstream has it's fruits in the horror genre, sure, but it's very few and far in between and you just have to look for them in both places to find real gems, no matter what time period, even if technology has allowed for a lot of hack-fraud con-artists like Joe Castro to make movies, there are still gems out there waiting to be uncovered!
