Are any of these on Netflix besides the Ritual?

Attack the Block is seriously underrated. I actually got my mom to watch it AND she really liked it.

I love Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later

The Hallow was fairly recently, we watched it in FFAF one night!
But I'm not sure, I was going to check for them but this was already taking me way longer it should to get done Lol

The Descent (and Descent Part II, bleh) are on U.S. Netflix.

Event Horizon is such a creepy film. Shame the effects don't hold up tho. And Attack the Block is ridiculously underrated!

[cuteej4]

It really is. What I love the most is that it's isolated to just one area so you see how just THEM are affected. Plus, the way they did the aliens was super original and really cool to see on screen

IT'S TOO MUCH MADNESS TO EXPLAIN IN ONE TEXT!!!

Event Horizon is literally one of the worst fucking films I’ve ever sat through. So many people I know call it their fave movie and I feel like I missed something.

[hjalmartazar]

yessssss! Thank you for all those recs! <3

Did you ever see The Mirror, I think it came out in the past few years? I noticed it on a list of british horror films but I had never heard of it.

[hjalmartazar]

hmm, yeah, that imdb page doesn't make me wanna watch the movie right away. i'm going to hold off on that one and watch other ones rec'd in this post first.

Bless you for this post. I was planning to look for some horror films to watch after I get off work today. Will definitely check out some of these!

[hjalmartazar]

Hope you find something you enjoy bb!

Under The Skin, Attack the Block, Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later are probably some of my favorite movies ever. On the other hand I have no idea if I even liked Eden Lake but it was interesting? Idk it was so nihilistic that it made me kind of queasy lol.

I hated Eden Lake.
