I used to have a “Shitty Horror Films” list on IMDB and each film had their my explanation to why it sucked in my opinion, and I stressed MY FUCKING OPINION, you can agree to disagree people, I don’t give a fuck! …However, people still managed to read through all of my negative thoughts on specific films and leave lovely comments such as:
“Maybe horror isn’t your genre, you should really give up… and find something else”
“Your list only has negative reviews, that’s just stupid” (<— On the top of the list, right by the title was a link with text that said, “More lists by Flynn (my name is flynn on imdb)… -Best Horror Films, -Must Watch Horror Films…” So clearly, Einstein here didn’t click on any of those which were filled with positive reviews…?)
“You clearly have no knowledge of actual good horror, like the classics, therefore this list has no basis to stand on”
“You wouldn’t know good horror if it bit you in the a$$” (<–Homie here had to use dollar signs because apparently you can’t cuss on IMDB, which made sense to why a lot of my reviews looked weird cause instead of “Fuck”, IMDB censored it with “*beep*”, which looked so fucking stupid.)
“So what exactly do you enjoy? It seems as though you find nothing scary, everything stupid, but yet you persist on expecting good modern horror?”
“All you do is complain, stop watching horror then, go see what’s on Disney Channel”
“Click on my link to see my list, Flynn, I’ll show you good horror since you obviously have no taste”
Anyway I got complaints from other users from my language on that specific list so IMDB told me to delete it and keep things positive. Lol. So I just have my list of recommendations/positive reviews and people are either like SEEN ALL OF THESE or WHAT ABOUT “insert shitty movie title here”?!?! I just ignore those, actually I ignore all those comments just like how I ignored all of the ones on my Shitty Horror list. Why? Cause Internet fights are fucking stupid and pointless. Oh and I don’t care enough to reply. All those negative comments listed above and the mixed comments on my positive list are mentioned because I find them fucking amusing and hilarious that people feel the need to say that shit. Omg and then I screenshot it on my phone and show them to my bf, best friend, and sister –but only the really good ones. The best was this guy that commented on my Shitty Horror list and mentioned nothing of the negative opinions but only unloaded facts about the bible and Jesus getting rid of demons and warned me about the temptations and ended with words of wisdom biblical quotes. That made my day, that even screenshot-sent that shit to my mom. She enjoyed it as well and agreed with the guy.

Anyway here we go:
So let’s start with Crimson Peak, it was actually better than I thought. I was like “Oooh Guillermo del toro! He makes weird shit!” and then I saw online it was categorized “Romantic Horror” and so I was like “-_-….” I hate romantic and comedy horrors, sweet jesus, they don’t belong together and are fucking terrible. Therefore, I was planning on skipping it until my sister was like “Ermahgerd let’s see it, my boyfran dun wannaaa” so I was like “Ok ok fo u i seeeee” and so we did and I’m glad we did. It had creepy elements, mostly weird, and decent CGI — but the story is what drew me in. It was Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain threw their fucking fishing line at me and I was hooked. The lack of actual scares didn’t bother me because I was so drawn in by the plot and characters. I also liked that Charlie Hunnam was in it, it was nice to see him in something outside Sons of Anarchy. (Extra plus cause Tom and Charlie are foiiiiiiiiiiiiiineee).
It Follows: WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?! Where was the horror? Oh sex = demon from yo sex partner now follows you/wants to kill you unless you fuck someone else/pass the demon on? Oh okay, makes perfect sense. S T U P I D. You know what’s sad? I was actually excited for this movie when I first read about it online. However, I was under the impression that the it was more of a Succubus/Incubus type of horror film… not the stupid shit it actually was. Cause you see, most succubus/incubus horror films that have been out already, are kind cheesy, bad acting, lame, stupid, or basically fetish porn. Also, this movie was fucking boring.
Insidious 3: I think this was the worst one out of the 3. The dying heavy breathing guy was not scary at all. The reveal of what the knocking sound was = also not scary or shocking. I wish I had more to elaborate on, but I watched this a long time ago by torrent, so just take my word for it – it sucked.
#Horror: Okay to be honest, I thought this was a completely different film than what it actually turned out to be. I thought it was a film based on the true story about that girl who committed suicide after finding out that her cyberbullies were chicks from school and that the cute guy chatting her up online were the same chicks and one of the chick’s mom was in on it… I thought it was that.. so I was expecting intense drama horror type film. But no… this was fucking weird.. like it tried to be super modern horror with selfies, instagram, social media etc. with rich bitches, spoiled brats, and mean girls. It was a slow fucking burner and the girls were sharing intimate thoughts one minute then ripping each other apart the next – calling a girl fat, another girl mean, another a prude, etc. They were young as fuck and smoking cigarettes and drinking from the alcoholic mom’s bar. The parents were just as fucked up with the father of the mean girl who got kicked out by the group for being a bitch– even though they all were bullies to each other? — but this one was supposedly more.. violent? hateful? and her father ended up yelling/threatening the girls for kicking out his daughter into the woods where it was also snowing or something. It was just fucking bizarre and I was confused with my mouth open the majority of the time… there were no scares.. I was just shocked that this film actually existed with all its iPhone app blasted stupidity.
The Gallows: This movie actually made it to theaters!!! OMFG! It is so damn bad! What the fuck were they thinking?!!! Its worse than student film shit or fucking Youtube horror films! Holy shit, this was embarrassing to watch. My fucking god, I hated the entire film. The entire fucking film. This was a disgrace. I can’t believe it got out there.
VHS 3 – VIRAL: Okay, I personally hate all three VHS films, I know I’m in the minority – I don’t know why you people enjoyed these shitty, horrible acting, worst CGI, lack of scares, dumb fucking plots, bullshit movies! I think people who have never really delved into Found Footage found these movies intriguing… but I’m no n00b to Horror, so compared to other low budget found footage horror films I’ve seen, these are fucking bottom of the barrel – weak ass shit. Even with the more money they made, the CGI stayed the same shitty fucking quality and their ideas got more and more out there and fucking dumb.
Poltergeist: What was the fucking point of remaking this film if you’re still gonna use shitty ass CGI?!?! There were no scares at all. There was nothing new offered. This was a huge fucking let down like Sadako 3D.
The Curse of Downer’s Grove: I don’t even know, what the fuck they were trying to do with this movie. The weird dynamic between pretty boy and main character chick where she ends up stabbing him the eyeball and he gets all obsessed and hellbent over her for the rest of the film… What the fuck? And then they tried to give him background by showing a scene with his abusive father… OKAAAAY?! The only enjoyable aspect of this film was Lucas Till as the sexy deep-voiced mechanic, wowowowow. Also, the random “curse” being something about native americans – which is never explored by the characters – just explained in the film – being the basis of random teens dying = STUPID. No research or trying to make peace with the natives, just fucking derp lets try and protect ourselves tee hee. Dear god, what fucking bullshit.
The Drownsman: This was a very odd film… Reminded me a bit of the Ring but more serial killer/slashery? I enjoyed watching it, but I didn’t find it scary. It was more suspense if anything. Its an okay thriller to watch while cooking or doing other work as background noise. I would love for them to make a more intense thrilling sequel to amp up the terror of the Drownsman himself.
Hellions: What the actual fuck was this? It was funny to see Degrassi’s Katie and Drew characters in a horror film. But other than that… It was just stupid and beyond boring. The purple tinted lighting was cheap, the little children demons were overdone (Trick R Treat, Chucky, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, The Doll Master, etc.) and ultimately, they were low CGI so up close shots were laughable. Even their conversations/messages to Katie or whatever the fuck her name was in this film, were just like OKAAAy *yawn* status.
Rec 4: Very disappointing and not demonic enough for the route they were supposedly going for. The first two are still the best ones. I hope they redeem the series with a 5th installment. I do like the cute actress who plays our main (possessed) character.
Unfriended: My sister and I were foolishly excited for this movie! We heard all the hype and friends were saying DUDE it’s pretty freaky for a webcam movie!!! Thus, my sister and I were like awwwww shiiiiieeeet!! So when I finally torrented a good copy, we had our popcorn, margaritas, and plushies (hers is a big Unicorn, mine is a big Mickey Mouse) READY TO FUCKING GO. We ended up critiquing a lot, pausing the film to discuss, and making more drinks to be able to finish the rest of this evidently disappointing film. There were no scares, scarce paranormal activity, and dumb mind games. In the end, my sister stood up with her drink and said *SPOILER,* “ERE’BODAY FUCKIN’ DIESSS!!! OKAAAY!!” And that was the only memorable moment of this film.
The Atticus Institute: I remember enjoying this film but also finding it weird. I mean it was an intense thriller but it was also kinda sad. It is an interesting watch though. Minor scares – makes ya think.
Clown: When I first heard of a slasher film about a guy becoming a clown, I didn’t get the full story. My best friend informed me that he literally turns into some type of clown demon and has to feed on children and he can’t take off the clown make-up or costume. I was like “SAAAAAY WHAAAAT?” and became instantly curious. It was freaky at some parts, depressing, and totally fucking weird. But I liked it, it was a fun ride.
Demonic: So this movie, I heard some good things about it murmuring about on the internet so I was like alright cool lets do this. Upon watching it, I was like omg this is fucking dumb. Cliches tossed around, bad acting, and shitty ending. It started out like Aw fuuck, shits gonna go down! But as it progressed, it lost all suspense and became blegh. Although, it was amusing to see Scotty (Scotty doesn’t know that Fiona and me do it in my van every Sunday!) as possessed but it was also at same time – cheesy as fuck with the whole phone convo scene(s).
Exeter: ….Are people even fucking TRYING? It was like a fucking gore fest with everybody becoming possessed by demons and trying to kill each other. 50 shades of NO. Upon the first possession, they don’t try to call the cops, or call their parents, or call fucking someone, or even call a fucking church – to find a priest, instead they just waltz around like fucking idiots and the countdown to demon town begins.
Extinction: I believe I watched this film because I was out of demonic horror films at the time, reviews claimed it was good so I gave it a go. It was a bit slow, suspenseful at parts, but also contained a lot of depressing parts… I don’t like depressing fucking horror films nor will I stand by and watch a horror film where an animal dies. NO FUCKING WAY.
Ghoul: Interesting premise, but unfortunately failed to deliver. Its not as bad as everyone claims, but I’d recommend for a lonely-calm-cozy night in… if there’s nothing better on TV. 😛
Howl: I know, I know, its technically a creature feature, but at the time, I ran out of demonic horror– Just assume this excuse for anytime I review a movie that I warned us about previously that I would be biased towards hatred. This was a Wolverine type film, subway/train stranded – forest, people take a while to turn fully into the wolf beast – but the process of seeing them slowly lose their humanity and obtain only carnal instincts is both sad and interesting.
The Lazarus Effect: I had high hopes for this movie. Upon reading about it prior to any video/teaser/trailer release, I hyped myself up because Evan Peters was in it, as was the pretty Olivia Wilde. The only image I had was the one of Olivia looking possessed and holding a syringe type gun to her own head but smiling/smirking. I also love demon horror films especially biblical ones so the title Lazarus Effect got me all wound up. Turns out they just used the term, wasn’t biblical at all, wasn’t very demonic, and was a major fucking disappointment with no scares and a dumb ending. Its a run around like a chicken with its head cut off type film where they just hit the wall in the end and then roll fucking credits.
Paranormal Activity – Ghost Dimension: Everyone told me it was going to suck, that it was going to be stupid-unscary-bullshit horror, but yet I tortured myself. Torrented and watched with my boyfriend —I talked shit in parts that seemed to far out there — and hated the “scare” scenes involving Toby (the demon), which they fucking prepped us up all this hype for and in the end we get cheap shots (legs, limbs, silhouette, voice, etc.) instead of getting the money shot (scary demon face/form, chaos, death) that I hoped for. I was beyond pissed and disappointed at this fucking movie for pulling us up this roller coaster to only be let down to an uneventful closing. I hate you PA series, I fucking hate you.
Sinister 2: WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS? The preview was all zomg Baghul, he killed these families, zomg its a pattern, zomg these tapes, we gotta get hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim— BUT THEN NO THE FUCKING REALITY IS THE STUPID DEAD KIDS WATCHING THEIR HOME MURDER MOVIES WITH PRIDE fucking with the two brothers. In the end one attempts to make his own film – fucks up- shit goes down, and agaiN WE DON’T SEE BAGHUL UNTIL THE FUCKING END. KIDS ARE NOT SCARY, TAKE THE CUE FROM FUCKING CHILDREN OF THE GODDAMN CORN. This movie sucked as much balls as the fucking Annabelle movie.
