A lot of people in the horror fandom are easily pleased with gore, to the point that they forgive movies like When Evil Lurks for making NO SENSE whatsoever. "Don't shoot them with guns" "Don't use electric lights" and other completely arbitrary rules that the movie never elaborates on.

Why are people complaining about the teenagers in ‘Talk to me’ like what ???

I absolutely hated Knock at the Cabin. Legit left the theater angry. It feels like M. Night Shyamalan is so desperate to match his early success that everything that's followed has been a predictable inferior version of his previous films. We get it, twist ending. They're not shocking when everything leading up to it is mediocre.

To answer: yes, I also did do dumb shit, but if you turned up with a hand that let you see and become possessed by dead people, and said “oh yeah a dude stabbed himself while possessed”, I would nope right out of there. At the least, I’d be fake laughing while stood need to the door, hand on the handle. We all do and have done dumb shit, but possession and being mind controlled into offing yourself would never be a situation I’d end up in.

While it is not a hard-core horror movie, Haunted Mansion was my favorite movie of the year. As a diehard fan of the ride, I love how much respecct they paid to it in the film and I thought all of the actors did a great job. As for FNAF, I thought the movie was fun. Not a great movie, by any means, but I had a good time watching it.

Heres my unpopular horror (adjacent) opinion: reacting to unpopular horrors opinions should be a regular series, or at least a few times a year.

Great video Kylie and I enjoyed these unpopular opinions videos

I agree with the person who liked blood & honey. It quickly became my fav guilty pleasure, so bad its good watch. Ppl freaking HATE blood & honey. But I actually liked it lol!

I got a shout-out! I would watch Evil Dead rise again if a friend asked me, but not on my own.

Anyone enjoy NEFARIOUS from last MARCH? The dialogue was powerful.

Everyone loved Talk to me and I fucking hated it. I will watch Exorcist Believer again before I watch that shite

I felt like the twist and killer reveal was equally predictable in both scream 6 & Thanksgiving.

Great video Kylie! I think my unpopular opinion it's that I didn't liked No One Will Save You. I thought it was pretty decent at first but I felt it dragged somewhat and I didn't liked the ending at all. I also didn't liked Scream 6, the plot armor and the writing in general were pretty weak in comparison of the previous movies (I did enjoyed the bodega and subway scene though)

Aye i was in here, ik it was long heh im sorry 😅 I got issues, but yeah spyglass really should sell the rights of scream back to radio silence they know how to treat actors and actress right heh 😅

Definitely check out 2020’s Becky & then The Wrath of Becky, really fun Home Invasion/ Revenge movies & I’m not typically big on the home invasion sub genre.

Hi sis!!!! Great video My favourite horror movie 2023 is Evil dead rise ( it made me make my own motion comic) And I liked Beau is afraid

Please watch “Becky” before watching “Wrath of Becky” both films are so good. She’s in my top 5 favorite final girls now ❤️

I would have put Scream vi in my best horror movie of 2023 only if z killer reveal was as mystery as z other ones but every act and dialogue Detective Bailey had gave it away z mystery and i even screamed saying "I knew it " in cinema when he reveals him self as one of z killer even though scream vi had best chase and gory kills than scream v, scream v is still my fav as it was in 2022

Birth/rebirth was a very weird movie. If you liked that movie though you should watch the movie Blood it's a better version in my opinion.

i work in education, with a broad demographic of students- teenagers are teenagers, and most teenagers would not have acted wiser than the characters in Talk To Me.

Thank you for reacting to my hot take! Not much of a hot take seeing as how some people would agree with me but different strokes for different folks hahaha I agree with everything you said tbh like we could agree with most of the 2023 opinions. Especially all the movies that Normies made popular lol we know better than to listen to them! I’ll be honest, when I was a teen, I was kinda goody two shoes (remember evil ash from army of darkness? lol) so I look back not regretting what I did but what I didn’t do. Like I didn’t do dumb shit so I can get behind the kids in talk to me being unrelatable but I know I’m not alone. Thanks again for posting!

Lol the intro

Scream 6. Below average. Beau is afraid good for about an hour and a half. Evil Dead Rise solid, not as good as one before it. Spoken like facts, but just opinions. Seems like very few movies really need to be made, they just are pumped out by the factory, factories can make decent products, but the cooler stuff is rare, usually comes from a bit of an outsider

Idk if a lot of ppl saw Appendage but it definitely deserves a watch. One of the better 2023 horror movies.. also no Outwaters slander please 😅

I'm worried about the Blumhouse Atomic Monster merger

my 2023 unopular opinois of horror were that evil dead rise and noone will save you were both more satisfying movies for me than talk to me, however talk to me is better made than the other 2 but i enjoyed them more than the other

...Ari Astor did 'Dream Scenario' and 'Beau Is Afraid', I didn't even know he did anything!

re. "perverse" - like I don't like highly sexualized content or lots of nudity or gendered body horror but I still wouldn't use the word "perverse", that word carries like religious judgment to me

Hhheeyyy! Thanks for the react. A more accurate wording for my unpopular opinion would be that 2022 is viewed by people (including myself at one time) through rose-colored glasses because of how starved we were for horror in the many years prior. There are a few fantastic films you referenced and then some I didn't see but there were several that were just average to kinda okay, but I guess that comes down to personal taste. And I think the same about the horror movies of 2023. I know I'm in the minority, but hey, I think we had two solid years of horror flicks in a row and I'm looking forward to a third.

See, I love M3GAN and I’m 33 lol. I was surprised when you made the young comment. In fact, my 18 year old friend laughed when I expressed my love for it; I was so surprised. Favorites of the year: Cobweb, M3GAN, Talk to Me. I did NOT care for Scream VI. I hated Infinity Pool. Last Voyage was fun.

I gotta agree with Robk on Scream. There's a difference between Billy, Mickey, Jill etc. using a gun out of costume and Ghostface using a gun. Maybe it's nitpicky but it just looks goofy. It's like Michael or Jason using a gun.

I look forward to seeing 28 years later. The third sequel to 28 days later. But unpopular opinion, I finally got round to watching Barbarian yesterday. I was disappointed and found myself fast forwarding. The acting and the way it looks, was similar to a lot of direct to video releases in 2010. The storyline started off okay, then went stupid 😅

The girl on your Pumpkin Queen shirt is Sage Sin, an indy wrestler

I think Godzilla -1 is the best movie of the year, I'm not talking horror, just best movie overall. I know you had the small rant about people can't tell other people what is horror and what's not, I feel this is mostly True, BUT I find it annoying that people are talking about Beau is afraid as a horror. I honestly think it's just a dark comedy/drama. Just because Ari Aster is known for his horror works doesn't mean it was a horror. Just like how people act like A24 is blumhouse or something. They do other things! You did mention that. Also, I really liked When Evil Lurks, probably one of my favorite horror movies this year, not because it was so shocking or something, but because it really surprised me, and I thought it was a hot take on possession films. Your opinion on this movie is exactly how I feel about hereditary. I remember seeing that and being like, this is the scariest thing to people because they have no idea and are just normie movie people. Otherwise it's been done and done better. The most frightening thing about that movie was what happened to the sister and then the horrible family dynamic afterwards. That was the true nightmare stuff. You should definitely watch Becky first before Wrath of, watching this it seemed you weren't aware this was a sequel, I could be wrong.

Trust me I got a TON of opinions that people hate.

I thought Beau is afraid portrayed anxiety in a very impressive fashion, although not to the same extent, in my opinion, as directors like Lars Von Trier manages, Antichrist still have some of the best filmic formulation of such suffering, it is, none the less, one of my favorite movies of the year

⁠@@HauntedHippieThats interesting, only saw up to the third Shrek, I think, remember liking the second the best; is it the cat with the manipulative eyes you mean? The way in which I look at it is that the portrayed mood or state hits me hardest when it resides in the overall vibe and style of the movie, book or whatever, and that it is very rare for movies to do this, to get the funding, I think Aster doesn’t get due acknowledgement for his risky endeavor.

19:40 Thanks for including me

And My Unpopular opinion is Dream scenario was Great and i fixed my mood that was ruined by Salt burn bc it was boring and i was disappointed, but after i saw Dream scenario i just got back to my Inner peace, and i agree 2022 was best year for horror but 2023 only Talk to me and Saw X were z stand out

Jeeez I didn’t realize you’re also a martial artist

My most unpopular opinion is i love both Renfield and The Last Voyage of the Demeter pretty equally ( apparently a lot of people don't like either of these movies especially Demeter at least on Twitter) but i love both of these movies i own both on Blu-ray and i love that Universal is putting out so many vampire movies lately and I'm excited for their next vampire movie coming out in April called Abigail directed by Radio Silence 🙌🩸🦇🧛

I didn't give any hot takes when you asked for them because I'm honestly not even qualified lol, didn't see much 2023 horror.. sure I could've given a wild and negative hot take about Scream 6 but that's too easy and just low hanging fruit at this point, plus everything has already been said about those films.. I never heard of The Wrath of Becky but that's one I'd definitely check out! I personally consider Child's Play 2019 and M3gan to be equal films as far as quality and enjoyability go.. both are like 2.5 star films for me, which is basically in the middle or indifferent.. don't love em but don't hate em, not good but not bad..

I will forever be wondering what could have been with knock at the cabin, the book had so many excelent twists and spoiler warning, but killing the daughter in the book was both a pivotal and heartbreaking moment for me. Instead they chose to kill one of the dads and i know that as a gay man i dont speak for the whole community but to me it felt like they were only peroetuating the bury your gays trope. The only plus i can day about the movie is that it brought a high budget queer horror film to your average audience and i hope we'll get more, but i also hope future films learn from knock at the cabins shortcomings.

Agree I prefer most choices in the book

No one can call Plan 9 the worst movie ever made antmore...Freddy's is the worst movie ive ever endured over decades of film viewing.

Becky and Wrath of Becky are fun guilty pleasure R-rated Home Alone. I think it will soon gain a bigger cult following. C0çáíñe Bear was the most disappointing as only the ambulance scene lived up to its trailer. When Evil Lurks is the best horror though (could be biased because I'm a hispanophone). I agree with you that it has a twisted Evil Dead-style-but-subtle sense of "dark humor".

I think exorcist the believer was a great movie. I really liked it. I feel like all the hate was a bandwagon effect. It’s not as bad as everybody says I even liked the ending of it and also some if the scenes creeped me out and im a horror expert, i dont get creeped out easily

And oh yeah.. I'm kinda with Ghostface not having a gun.. it's fine when we see Ghostface unmasked with a gun, but Ghostface in full costume with a gun just feels aesthetically wrong IMO.. I don't believe it happened before Scream 6 unless I'm trippin..

Ohh yea I think you’re right

2022 was a BANNER HORROR YEAR! 2023 was eh. Not a fan of BEAU IS AFRAID and hated KNOCK AT THE CABIN. Didn’t bother watching DEMETER. THE WRATH OF BECKY was so good! Also the first one, BECKY.

I missed leaving mine for the video. But here it is: 1) Talk To Me is mid. It was just fine. The main character was annoying af. I wasn't rooting for anybody. But I give it props for the new take on possession. 2) Cobweb is just Barbarian and REC. Another creepy skinny woman locked up movie. 3) Smile is just silly. I did not find it scary at all. The monster looked silly. The whole thing was vanilla. 4) Contemporary writers don't know how to write a good whodunnit slasher that keeps you guessing until the end. 5) James Wan needs to run away from Blumhouse.

As I expected. I was late for the party. 🕰️ My comment was also Godzilla related, but more like my history with Godzilla.

Wrath of Becky is a sequel to Becky in case you want to check it out first 😊

I loved Renfield however, I will say it suffers with what I call Beetlejuice Syndrome..not enough Keaton and not enough Cage.

Cobweb is awesome for me it was just as good as Malignant, Have u seen it?

These will not be popular: VHS85, Hellhouse LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor, Saw X, Knock at the Cabin, everyone liked 'Evil Dead Rise'. I tolerated 'Talk To Me'. I didn't like the lack of clarity in the final act.

Idk man as a lesbian having to watch Barry Keoghan’s bratwurst flapping in the wind for like three minutes made Saltburn the scariest film of the year for me

Ugh I completely missed this community post lol. My hot take is pretty common, but I thought Talk to Me was incredibly overrated. The story was interesting, but the filmmaking completely took me out of the film. Poor cinematography and atrocious use of shallow focus in my opinion. And the pacing was just not it for me either

Scream 5 and 6 to me were really overhyped. One of the things that made the Craven quadrilogy was that signature Craven charm. Because Wes was attached to those 4 films there was consistency in the quality.(yes I think scream 3 is underrated). Scream 5 felt more based upon the nostalgia and Scream 6 felt like a forced cash grab on Scream 5's success.
