Two Mohawk warriors and a British companion who are sharing a romantic relationship are hunted down by soldiers that represent the very opposite of what their very union represents. The second feature is Mohawk (2017) by Ted Geoghehan, set in the War of 1812.
Demons 1985 full movie movie#
It’s shares some of that same self-destructive attitude Lost Boys also relishes on, but the vampires in this movie are a special kind of bad that make the experience entirely different. First up is Near Dark, a 1987 neo-western vampire movie directed by Kathryn Bigelow that follows a group of ‘outlaw’ vampires tearing up the Midwest with a recently turned cowboy vamp that’s not entirely sure if the new night life is for him. This makes things both easy and hard! I want to get something that truly doesn’t disappoint. In our conversations, I think we find that one’s recommendations will surely ring true with the other’s and vice versa. Ricky, what would you recommend to Avery?ĭenis: Avery, like me, has a very inclusive love of horror. Top Five: Jennifer’s Body Day of the Dead Evil Dead 2 Misery Alien The movie is credited with being a very, very strong influence for future zombie movies based on how ghoulish the creatures looked on screen, even influencing George Romero. What’s interesting here is how director John Gilling opted to treat the story more as a procedural/horror affair than a straight up horror one. in Plague, a mysterious illness is killing people in a small village and there are claims of those infected rising up from their graves.
The word zombie will immediately bring up images of shambling corpses looking for a night of blood and gore, but this film is quite the opposite. Along those lines, I’m going to dig deeper into the horror vault for a movie that certainly captures that slow burn horror Joe prefers and adds a bit more of the macabre to it with the 1966 Hammer Film The Plague of the Zombie. It has this very nuanced but deeply unsettling pacing that thrives on dread, with a hint of madness thrown in for good measure. It’s so well-written and brilliantly executed in every conceivable way that you could strip away everything that makes it scary and still be left with a harrowing, compelling drama… but of course, the fact that it’s one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen only makes it better.ĭenis: I see The VVitch is already a favorite among Beat contributors, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a slow-burn with maybe two jump scares at most, but it’s absolutely thrilling to watch the lives of a Puritan family, exiled from their 17th Century New England community, slowly but surely go to hell. It’s kind of my platonic ideal of a horror movie, and I even named it one of The Beat’s best movies of the 2010s. So I’m going to go ahead and recommend one of my favorite horror movies, period: 2015’s The VVitch directed by Robert Eggers. Silber: So Joe’s making it really easy for me to start here by spelling out how similar his horror tastes are to mine. Also, Silber Bullets is the perfect name for your October edition of the column! Reminds me of the werewolf movie Silver Bullet (1985), based on the Stephen King book Cycle of the Werewolf.
There’s a challenge to making recommendations that I find too sweet to pass up. Ricardo Serrano Denis: Thanks for having me again, Greg! I also share that same love of recommending anything horror to people either looking to break into the genre or life-long veterans on the hunt for something fresh. And since you’re one of the biggest horror fans I know, I’m thrilled that you’re here to serve as my fellow spooky sommelier! As a horror fan, I love finding out what kind of horror people like and recommending movies based on their tastes.
Gregory Paul Silber: Hey Ricky, thanks for joining me for this special edition of Silber Linings we’re calling Silber Bullets: a month of horror content throughout October. However you prefer your frightful flicks, there’s bound to be something in here for you, too!
Stately Beat Manor is home to a wide range of horror tastes, including at least one writer who doesn’t like horror at all.
