A few more to add to the list of worth seeing films from this marathon:
Ravenous 7.83477/10- This is the Canadian infected flick, not the(also very good)older wilderness cannibal flick. Despite its efforts to discredit itself with several cheap, tiresome jump scares, every other aspect of this film is so damned good that I was forced to forgive it. Well worth a look.
The Eyes Of My Mother 7.39485/10- Weird, visceral, and disturbing and shot in a beautiful, hypnotic black and white. A character study of psychosis.
The Endless 7.87368/10- A really well done sci-fi/horror film that once again proves that you don't need a big budget if you have good actors and a strong screenplay. It's a sequel of sorts to the equally good film Resolution. Definitely recommend both.
Peace.

Watched Boar (2017). I can safely say it is the second best Australian giant pig film I have ever seen.

Watched The Last Exorcism and it wasn't until the end of the movie that I realized I had seen this movie before. Very forgettable film. Exorcism movies are really hit or miss for me. I would recommend Exorcism of Emily Rose to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Idk why it wasn't reviewed well as that movie is very well made with an interesting story and good/great acting. Plus it gives you some creepy moments. The Last Exorcism is one of those films I know I've seen but couldn't tell you a damn thing about it. I know, great contribution, eh?

The Black Cat (1934)Terror Level: Low I tuned into to TCM's Thursday horror block and this is the only one I seen before. This movie is rather strange and I love it for it. All these movies have Satanists involved in them. The highlight of the film is us getting to see Lugosi skin Karloff alive in a shadow silhouette. It's not a classic but it's something you want to see if you really like the horror stars. 7/10. Night of the Demon (1957)Terror Level: Medium There's a debate about the demon and I'm on the side of liking it. It looks scary and cool. Anyway I enjoyed this a lot. John Holden gets cursed for looking into this Satanist group and he tried to deny up the to point he knows its happening. Niall MacGinnis looks so devilish too. A lot of creepy stuff happen in this film. At first some of the things are questionable outside the demon actually attacking The Professor first thing. I don't know if everyone would like the pace but I do. I'll look forward to seeing this in October. 8/10. The Seventh Victim (1943)Horror Level: None This is a Val Lewton RKO picture. He's didn't even direct this film, he produced it, but his trademarks still makes it way into this film. The pace of the film is kinda off and people on Twitter were saying it was edited down to be B movie length. I like this film and if it was edited better I think I would have scored it higher. 7/10. The Devil Rides Out (1968)Terror Level: Low We get the interesting twist in this movie where Christopher Lee is the good guy! I had fun watching this though the ending fell flat for me. 7/10.

It's such a forgettable movie. Like, it doesn't have a unique plot or even any well known actors that remind you "oh yeah that's THAT movie" or "isn't that the one with so and so in it?" Just forgettable.

I've watched both The Endless and Resolution as first time viewings and agree, low budget but strong stories and solid actors. Highly recommend both. I'll add Ravenous to my watch list, cheers.

I've just watched 'Witchtrap' (1989)...
Honestly, possibly the greatest horror film of all time.
Best actors, best lines, perfectly delivered. Mental as anything deaths.
If you haven't seen it, you should... Here you go... Thank me later 👍

Hard to tell sometimes if the dialogue is deliberately flaky or not 😅 It's not a comedy, but it is... If you know what I mean 🤔

I’m watching Se7en right now. I’ve always seen it as horror, but not many other people do. I wonder what the general consensus about the classification is here.

Actually, I think I’ll include it. If I consider it horror, that should be fine right?

I would agree with this, but I would count it in the horror challenge.

I saw the Flatliners remake yesterday. Wow, that was bad. Everything about this movie was flat-lined.
