A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories

Book Favorite

"The Grandmama of southern gothic literature, O'Connor unabashedly tackles faith and faithlessness head on. Grotesque, funny and oftentimes creepy, these stories draw a picture of a society on the brink of moral bankruptcy. I find them more relevant today than ever....even on a desert island."

Literally the worst. They could have made this movie so good based on all the creepy pasta stories I've read and the short horror stories online. But no, they chose a typical horror movie route that backfired and created a nightmare. And not the good kind.

Disappointing
I was looking forward to this British Horror as it looked a bit different to most horror films.
Unfortunately the early part of the film relies too much on jump scares and loud noises. The first horror tale was eerie but not scary. The second was more creepy and uneasy, although cut a bit short I felt. The third was ok but then it starts to get a bit weird.
I didn't like the ending much and thought it took something away from the film by changing the whole feel of the film. Something of a marmite film I think.

Too creepy
I know that a lot of people have raved about it but I have to say I couldn't watch the whole series. I got to about half way through episode 4 and couldn't carry on. I was creeped out too much.
Maybe I should of persisted but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
It's a story about a (all be it very hunky) man called Joe who spots the woman of his dreams and basically stalks her until she starts dating him. I didn't make it much further before I stopped watching because it was just far far far too creepy.

A creepy horror film with a high production value and good cast. There might not be a high enough body count for some, or for it to be classed as a slasher anyway. However it does have a spooky atmosphere with the creepy dolls. Not the most original or scary film, but at least it tried something new and different, among the endless carbon copy horrors being released these days. I have to add for a horror film the photography is great, you really can tell the attention to detail in every shot, from the angle, framing, lighting and colours. You don't notice that in many horror films!

Campy creepy fun
I had never seen this horror classic until last night. For some reason it had always escaped me.

When teenager Mike stumbles upon some gruesome happenings at a funeral, he decides to investigate. He discovers the mysterious "Tall Man" whom he battles with his brother to see who survives.

It certainly has the low budget film look with shoddy lighting and the usual low budget effects, but there are enough creepy images and those cool flying metal spheres to keep you entertained throughout.

Since I have just purchased the Phantasm 5 pack, I definitely see more Phantasm in my immediate future.

A truly creepy, truly beautiful movie that subverts long standing tropes in horror about race. A worthy heir to classic horror films like the Stepford Wives and Rosemary's Baby.
If you want to see a study in how to use motifs brilliantly, this is a movie I would recommend.

Nature fights back!
A truly odd, bizarre and rather creepy film. I saw this a long time ago and it really stays with you long after you watch it. It has some genuine make you jump moments. It's miles better than the 2008 remake! Check out this version.
