Favorite horror movie? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 week ago by friek@sh.itjust.works to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

It's horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

Difficult to pick one, but Annihilation is up there.

The books are fantastic as well.

I've only read the first so far. I was so disappointed in the movie because I loved the book so much!

I find that's books almost always tell a better story as well. I tend to watch shows first if both a show and a book are available for that reason.

Mileage may vary; I read the first one and found it to be an absolute slog and a snooze. No interest in reading on.

Completely different experience here, I was hooked immediately and chewed through the whole series right away.

True that. I loved how the sci-fi made it seem so fascinating to explore. The environment was so cool!

But also there was constant tension in anticipation of what they'd find next, and you're asking yourself whether you'd just nope right out if you could.

There was a scene that had my jaw dropped for 5 minutes straight

The ending definitely made my jaw drop for an extended period of time.

It's also just a beautiful movie
