TOP 10 OF THE BIGGEST DISASTERS OF SITGES

Horror is the real, the realization, it´s the killer before you, the Nazis in power.

Horror has been with us from the beginning, since man is man. Not only some of us have learned to live whit it, but we like it when is with us.

We know we are not the only ones and yes, maybe, you are right, another digital magazine focused on horror cinema is not necessary but for us, horror is not just a cinematographic genre, we really believe in horror as part of our culture and terror as art.

In Surfing Horror you will find reviews but also curiosities, specials, tops and much more stuff related to horror.

And we are born today in the best way possible, making the opening post about the biggest disasters of Sitges Film Festival.

Let´s do it!

𝟏𝟎. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆

Revenge thriller in rural america. The silencing is not exactly a disappointment, we just don't understand why it has been selected for the official section of the sitges festival.

Unfortunately, this does not mean that we have liked it, it´s a product that we do not think can completely satisfy anyone, it doesn´t add anything that we have not seen before, it´s a very insipid thriller and the main plot doesn´t end up being of interest at any time.

Also, it has a slow and heavy rhythm that makes you look at the clock several times.

🔪🔪 / 5

𝟗. 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐕𝐄𝐒!

A hipster couple in their thirties decide to disconnect from everything and spend a few days outside the city without knowing that the world is suffering an alien invasion.

Once again we are faced with a very promising idea, but that's all it takes, a promise of a product that could have given a much more interesting result. At "save yourselves", we have science-fiction only as context, it is a mere excuse to present us with a comedy not very funny, dialogs without grace and some supposed middle-age problems that if you are not from the upper-class, you will not understand.

The film, maybe in another festival, would have been seen as a light comedy but sitges is not its place.

It's like if you go to a Metallica show and the opening act is Britney Spears.

🔪 / 5

𝟖. 𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐕𝐄

Failed attempt of the "man vs machine" debate. We can see the love for science fiction behind this film but we cannot feel it.

The pic looks wonderful, all the visual aspect of the film is very well taken care of and the atmosphere is very achieved but this is precisely the big problem, it seems that Gavin Rothery (director-screenwriter) has forgotten to tell us a good story. The script is not in the same level, there are too many unnecessary script turns (above all, the last one) and there are some characters out of place.

In "archive" everything is left to the end but it's too late for us to be interested.

🔪🔪 / 5

𝟕. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐋𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑

In surfing horror, we also have a place in our heart for western, in fact, we love this genre but is not easy to mix it with horror and have a satisfactory result.

“The pale door” is not an exception, in the first hour we have a very little interesting western with empty characters and sets worthy of Ed Wood himself and in the last thirty minutes we have a witch film not more interesting than the western one. Genres are not touched at any time and the balance is non-existent.

Very ocassionaly, this explosive mix works, as on the case of the brilliant "Bone Tomahawk", however, this time, we have not had the same luck.

🔪 / 5

𝟔. 𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐊𝐘

A father and his daughter decide to spend a weekend on the lake, meanwhile, a group of prisoners escape from jail.

We think that in cinema, especially in horror, it doesn´t really matter what you want to tell us, the thing is "how" you want to tell us.

When you see the short description of "Becky", you can imagine what you are going to find, and indeed, it will not blow your head off, but anyway, you want to have a good time and you are ready to have a good time. Half an hour has already passed since the film started, there is nothing you dislike but you feel that you could be watching something better, for example, the news.

We don´t think that "becky" is a bad movie, it´s just that it has nothing important to say or anything special to add to the genre. In the characters section we have a Lulu Wilson (Becky) that does what she can taken into account that her character does not make much sense. She plays a rebel teen that if things go wrong, she will not hesitate to become a mercIless killer. On other hand, we have Kevin James, who plays a very crazy Nazi but not enough to remember him as a first level villain.

Anyway, we believe that it would have worked much better as a comedy and we would have liked that the script would have been more taken advantage off.

🔪 / 5

𝟓. 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑: 𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐒𝐒

“Black Water: Abyss” is not a disappointment, it's just a movie that we have already seen a thousand times.

A group of friends decide to explore a cave and ... Surprise! There is a very hungry crocodile.

From the beginning, we can see that the film has many limitations; the tension is poorly maintained, the violence comes and goes in a very confusing way and it seems that there is no person directing behind the cameras.

If you really want to see a horror movie about dangerous animals, please, don´t watch this one.

🔪 / 5

𝟒. 𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐒

A family decides to invite their neighbors to dinner at Christmas, what they don´t know is that they are carriers of an evil identity.

Again, we have an interesting premise, a good start and a promise that what we are going to see next is going to make us have a good time but this never comes. Despite having some very well gore moments, the rest of "hosts" is empty, none of the characters contributes anything and you are waiting and waiting for the turn but again, this never comes and when you got it, the movie is over.

The best: a few very well gore moments.

The worst: there is nothing especially enjoyable other than a few good moments.

🔪 / 5

𝟑. 𝟏𝟐 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐅𝐓

In 12 hour shift we have an idea, that´s it. There's no more. You can feel during the whole long hour and a half that there is nothing else.

The characters and the situations are written with the intention of making us laugh and achieve just the opposite. We are left saturated and tired of eccentric unfunny characters and so many failed jokes. The worst of all is that it starts with an interesting premise but as we said, there is nothing else comes after that, a real pity.

The best: the starting point.

The worst: the rest of the movie.

0 / 5

𝟐. 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖

Take a concept, extend it until it has a feature film duration, insert absurd dialogues with tedious images full of neon lights and focus it on the indie public. The next step is to sell the product as it if were a surrealist and hilarious comedy.

The problem is that the joke is as funny as going to your grandma´s funeral and someone shits on her grave.

This is "she dies tomorrow"

The best: nothing

The worst: everything

0 / 5

𝟏. 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐀

Without any doubt, the crown jewel of disappointments of this edition.

We love zombies movies, the merrier the better, if the movie goes straight to the point, much better, if there are not too many sub-frames or too many secondary characters so that we don't get distracted with things that do not interest, much much better, and if in addition, it mixes the action genre with zombies to the perfection, we have one of our favourite movies of the last years.

All that is “Train to Busan”. That's why "peninsula" is so painful. It is not the worst of this top, it is not even considered a bad movie, in fact, you can get to enjoy (a lot) but we highly recommend that if you really want to watch it, please don´t do it thinking that this is a sequel of “train to Busan, because it isn't. It's an action movie with zombies, it's direct, entertaining and there's not too much time for sentimentalism.

The best: do you think that you can enjoy a hybrid between mad max and day of the dead? This is your movie.

The worst: it has nothing, but nothing to do with train to Busan.

The Best Horror Movies Streaming On Netflix Right Now

The number of digital platforms on which fans of horror movies can find a good scare is just as frightening as the films they have available to stream. In fact, there is even one that specializes in bringing the best the genre has to offer (and then some). Of course, for those who only have so much time and money at their disposal, settling on Netflix to help deliver the spooks would not be a mistake.

There are enough horror movies available on the popular platform to keep you streaming into the wee hours of the night, mainly because you will not be able to sleep. Among the many fears you would be facing during this binge with iconically creepy classics, modern masterpieces of the macabre, and even some of Netflix’s own ominous originals, one you should not have to worry about is the fear of disappointment.

That being said, we understand that some phobias are more challenging to get over than others, so allow us to be a beacon of despair and point you in the right direction of what the best horror movies currently available to stream on Netflix. We figured that 13 would be an appropriate number, starting with an influential cult favorite that arguably pioneered the “cabin in the woods” thriller.

The Evil Dead (1981)

A weekend getaway and an old cabin becomes an unrelenting nightmare for one man (Bruce Campbell) after his four friends are possessed by an ancient spirit that turns them into grotesque and cruel creatures.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: Writer and director Sam Raimi became the patron saint of low budget indie horror with The Evil Dead, that remains a timeless classic of astonishing influence that spawned two campy sequels, a brilliantly brutal remake, and a hilarious TV series that serves as a perfect send-off for Bruce Campbell's chainsaw-handed hero, Ash Williams.

Stream The Evil Dead on Netflix here.

Poltergeist (1982)

A family seeks help when their youngest daughter is kidnapped by malevolent spirits that have invaded their suburban home.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: From producer Steven Spielberg and directed by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre creator Tobe Hooper (well, depending on who you talk to), Poltergeist is an essential haunted house picture for how it expertly taps into traumas that people of all ages an relate to and may lead you to develop new fears as well, such as television static, perhaps.

Stream Poltergeist on Netflix here.

Child’s Play (1988)

A single mother (Catherine Hicks) enlists the aid of a homicide detective (Chris Sarandon) after discovering that the doll she bought for her young son (Alex Vincent) is possessed by the soul of a dead serial killer (Brad Dourif).

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: Before there was Annabelle, there was Chucky, who may not have been the first toy responsible for giving children nightmares, but certainly became every horror fan's favorite of that kind upon the release of Child's Play, a classic slasher but pokes great fun at modern commercialism.

Stream Child's Play on Netflix here.

The Silence Of The Lambs (1991)

To catch a deranged murderer who skins his victims, ambitious FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Academy Award winner Jodie Foster) enlists Hannibal Lecter (Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins), a former psychiatrist and notorious cannibal, to help get into the mind of a criminal.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: While the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may prefer their choice for the Best Picture Oscar in 1992 not be called "horror," with Anthony Hopkins' chilling performance and breathlessly suspenseful direction by Jonathan Demme, it is hard to imagine The Silence of the Lambs in any other category.

Stream The Silence of the Lambs on Netflix here.

Candyman (1992)

A graduate student (Virginia Madsen) investigating Chicago myths for her college thesis becomes especially interested on the story of a supernatural entity with a hook for a hand whom locals believe can be summoned by saying his name five times.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: Tony Todd created quite a "buzz" in black horror history as the title character of Candyman, a creation from legendary writer Clive Barker based on the deliciously creepy concept of an urban legend whose existence depends on those who believe in him.

Stream Candyman on Netflix here.

Insidious (2011)

After their eldest son (Ty Simpkins) inexplicably falls into something even doctors hesitate to call a coma, a family (led by Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne) begins to fall prey to a relentless evil that seems to follow them whenever they try to escape.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: Director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell, the dynamic duo behind Saw who have since gone onto great successes on their own, created an indelibly frightening new classic to the haunted house sub-genre with Insidious, particularly for a nearly unprecedented twist that might actually have you thankful when it keeps you up at night.

Stream Insidious on Netflix here.

Sinister (2012)

Desperate for another bestseller, a true crime writer (Ethan Hawke) moves his family into a house where a disturbing murder took place, which he plans to research for his latest masterpiece, only to learn that the truth behind the incident is much worse than he could have imagined.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: Oscar-nominee Ethan Hawke became an unexpected "scream king" after playing the tragic hero of Sinister, from Doctor Strange and The Exorcism of Emily Rose director Scott Derrickson, which is, arguably, the most ferociously unsettling supernatural crime thriller ever made.

Stream Sinister on Netflix here.

Creep (2014)

An amateur filmmaker accepts a request over Craigslist to film a terminally ill man's final message to his son, but quickly comes to regret the decision when his host's progressively concerning actions lead him to question if he is the one about to expire.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: Conceived by its own stars Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice (the latter of which also directs), Creep is an underrated found footage gem that mostly lives up to its name (with a almost equally haunting 2017 follow-up that is supposedly the second of a planned trilogy), but the biggest shocker is how mumblecore pioneers Duplass and Brice essentially improvised the entire story from scratch.

Stream Creep on Netflix here.

The Invitation (2015)

A man brings his girlfriend to a dinner party hosted by his ex-wife and her new lover, but is immediately, and unshakably, convinced that something sinister is afoot.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: As this tenuous, high-wire act from director Karen Kusama progresses, you may not be sure who among these party guests, even Logan Marshall Green's protagonist, is worth your trust, but one thing I can confidently guarantee is is that the final moment of The Invitation will rupture your brain.

Stream The Invitation on Netflix here.

Train To Busan (2016)

An emotionally distant businessman's commute for his young daughter to visit her mother turns out to be a one-way trip into hell when someone carrying a virus turning people into mindless cannibals invites herself on board.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: Not only is the live-action debut of Korean filmmaker Sang-ho Yeon’s one of the most exciting and clever zombie films in recent memory, but Train to Busan, which has spawned a highly anticipated sequel, also succeeds as a moving thriller about the sacrifices we make for ones we love.

Stream Train to Busan on Netflix here.

Terrifier (2017)

Two beautiful late night partygoers (Jenna Kanell and Catherine Corcoran) are in for the worst Halloween of their lives when they fall prey to an unfriendly clown who has plenty of sadistic trick and treats in store for them.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: If you ask me, Pennywise has nothing on Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton), the future slasher icon whom the title of Terrifier appropriately refers to for his whimsically morbid imagination and tenacious blood thirst that makes director Damien Leone’s third feature a masterpiece of unapologetic shock and "ugh."

Stream Terrifier on Netflix here.

In The Tall Grass (2019)

A pregnant woman (Laysla De Oliveira) and her brother (Avery Whitted) follow a young boy's cry for help into a large field of high-growing grass, but it soon it becomes apparent that there is no way out.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: Based on a novella by father/son writing duo Stephen King and Joe Hill, In the Tall Grass is a survivalist thriller with startling fantasy, engrossing mystery, and a menacing performance by "scream king" and The Conjuring star Patrick Wilson that makes this Netflix original one of the coolest surprises in horror of its year.

Stream In the Tall Grass on Netflix here.

Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil (2010)

An idyllic vacation in newly purchased cabin turns into "a real doozy of a day" for a pair of well-meaning hillbillies (Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine) after an awkward misunderstanding with some young campers leads to a bloodbath.

Why It's A Good Option for Horror Fans: The old slasher trope of shady country folk is turned on its head in a most brilliantly hilarious, yet uncompromisingly graphic, way in Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, which may prove to be perfect way to end your Netflix horror binge: with a morbid laugh.

Stream Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil on Netflix here.

“You shouldn't like things because people tell you you're supposed to.”- Movies And TV

Since we’re about to hit the Stranger Things Doldrums where it’s been a while since S3 and S4 has just started filming and if you’re anything like me you’re gonna start jonesing bad- I thought I’d make a So You Need A Hit survival kit for myself of some Stranger Things-esque media to read/watch/play during the wait and that maybe you guys might be interested too. Not all of them are gonna set the world on fire- but hopefully there’s some stuff that people haven’t seen before Expect a lot of Small Town Nostalgia, a bunch of monsters, and more plucky, dangerously unsupervised kids than you can shake a stick at.

(STRANGER THINGS-ESQUE RECS CON’T)

It (2019 and 1990): “Set in 1989 (and 1959, respectively) in the fictional town of Derry, Maine, the story begins when a young boy named George "Georgie" Denbrough disappears after the sudden arrival of a mysterious clown named Pennywise. Georgie's older brother, Bill, is left distraught by his disappearance, and after an encounter with Pennywise, looks for the help of six other outcasts who have had similar encounters with the clown and its other forms. The seven work together to examine the behavior of this shapeshifting creature — which they dub "IT" — and see if they can rescue Bill's missing brother at the same time.” -TVTropes (Obviously)

Super 8 “A group of middle schoolers in a small Ohio town in 1979 are dedicated to making a zombie movie to enroll in an upcoming film festival... While filming a scene late at night, they happen upon a freak train crash and barely escape before the authorities show up. Shaken up by the experience, they find that they accidentally filmed something on their Super 8-mm film camera in the aftermath of the crash, and soon they're caught up in strange happenings with a monster on the lose and a secret military operation.”- TVTropes

(You don’t get closer to ST than Super 8. If this doesn’t fill the Teenagers, Monsters and CIA shaped hole in your life nothing will.)

Monster Squad - “The film follows the exploits of a group of genre-savvy kids who seek to stop Dracula — and a host of other infamous movie monsters — from finding a mystical amulet and bringing about The End of the World as We Know It.” -TVTropes

Midnight Special “Alton Meyer, an 8-year-old boy with supernatural abilities, has been reported missing. In reality, his father Roy, along with Roy's lifelong friend Lucas, have taken the boy from the religious compound where he previously lived and gone on the run. Meanwhile, they are being pursued by members of the religious sect and agents of the FBI and NSA, both of whom are pursuing Alton for their own ends.”-TVTropes

Beyond the Gates Two estranged brothers reunite at their missing father's video store and find a cursed VCR board game dubbed 'Beyond The Gates' that holds a connection to their father's disappearance.” -IMDB

The Hole (Joe Dante 2009) “17-year-old Dane Thompson, his 10-year-old brother Lucas, and their mother, Susan, move from Brooklyn to the quiet town of Bensenville where Dane and Lucas befriend their next door neighbor, Julie. While exploring their new home, Dane and Lucas discover a trapdoor with several locks along each side in the basement. Opening the trapdoor reveals a hole which appears to be bottomless and leads to the darkest corridors of their fears and nightmares.” -IMDB

The Babysitter “Tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy named Cole Johnson who is constantly bullied, but is very good friends with his babysitter Bee. One night, while his parents are away in a hotel, Cole stays up to see what Bee does after his bedtime...and things take a turn for the worse.”- TVTropes

The Lost Boys “A recently divorced mother and her two sons move to Santa Carla, CA. The older one, Michael, falls in with a gang of biker vampires; the younger, Sam, befriends a couple of seemingly insane comic store assistants. When Michael begins turning into a vampire it’s up to Sam, with the help of the Frog brothers, to save him.”- TVTropes

(For the Billy fans out there since Jason Patric and Dacre Montgomery got the same look going.)

Twin Peaks “The plot kicks off with the discovery of a teen cadaver, one Laura Palmer. Eccentric FBI agent Dale Cooper responds to the matter in Twin Peaks, Washington, where he's teamed with the trusty-if-skeptical Sheriff Harry S. Truman. With the arrival of the Feds, further scandals start to bubble to the surface along with this supposedly unprecedented crime. Cooper, meanwhile, finds himself visited by enigmatic visions and dreams pointing to the real culprit.” -TVTropes

Marianne : “Emma, a famous and successful French horror writer, is forced to return to her hometown after the woman who haunted her dreams fifteen years ago begins to re-appear. The work she writes is apparently a work of fiction, but how much is fact? Joined by her childhood friends she finds herself battling a creature that takes the form of her own creation.” Wiki

(This series is one of the most legitimately frightening things I’ve seen in ages and feels more like a Stephen King adaption than most ACTUAL Stephen King adaptions. Like IT it bounces back and forth between a bunch of childhood friends as kids and adults as they fight a monster- originally French but the English dub is excellent for those who don’t like subs.) No-Creature Features:

Summer of ‘84 - “In the Summer of 1984, in the sleepy suburb of Ipswitch, Oregon, teenager Davey Armstrong is a conspiracy theorist who begins to suspect that a neighbouring police officer is a serial killer. With help from three friends, Davey launches a daring investigation that soon turns dangerous.” -IMDB

The Sandlot “Follows the summer adventures and misadventures of a group of boys and their ragtag baseball team playing on "The Sandlot," their makeshift baseball field in Los Angeles, during the summer of 1962.” -IMDB

(You’re KILLIN’ me Smalls.)

Stand By Me: Twelve-year-old Gordie and his friends Chris Chambers ,Teddy Duchamp and Vern Tessio journey into the woods near their home to look for the body of a boy named Ray Brower, who was struck by a train while picking berries. Through the boys' misadventures and conversations, the viewer learns about each character and their friendships.- Wiki

The Goonies: “A small group of kids living on the "Goon Docks" of Astoria, Oregon are in dire straits: the owners of a local country club have threatened their families' homes with foreclosure so they can finish building a new addition to said country club. On one of their last days in the neighborhood, one of the "Goonies", Mikey discovers a Treasure Map in his attic. The map supposedly reveals where to find the treasure of infamous pirate One-Eyed Willie —but to get it, they must outwit a trio of mobsters and survive numerous death traps designed to keep One-Eyed Willie's treasure safe from outsiders.” -TVTropes

hello everyone, this is nami!! i’m really hyped by this rp because even though i’m usually not into the zombie genre, i don’t know, i just thought this looked very promising and thanks to the inspiration of our awesome admin, i’m bringing you my precious katherine. be careful with her because she might be sweet and cheerful but she also bites. hard :D anyway you can check her stats and plots already, but you can also keep reading to know a bit more about her and find some general connection ideas. and if you want to plot like this or find me on discord !

she was born in LA but moved to busan, her parents’ hometown, at 10. due to this, she speaks both english and korean at a native level.

is a middle child (with a bit of a middle child syndrome) and has two brothers she’s very close to.

as a child she did taekwondo and gymnastics for some years, but later moved and settled for dance. that has been her passion since.

joined a very small agency in seoul at 16, she auditioned as a dancer but the agency had different plans and, after two years as a trainee, they debuted her with 7 other girls as their first girl group.

she was main dancer, sub-vocalist and visual and their debut was fairly unnoticed by the public, the agency was very small.

they still got their comebacks for the next two years, which were as successful as their debut.

so your muse probably won’t know her nor the group (unless they were very very into kpop).

the outbreak caught her in the streets with another group member and a manager, they were lucky enough to join other people early on but that’s were all her luck ended for quite a long time.

it was very difficult for her to adjust to the new situation although she was willing to learn, it still is nowadays sometimes.

the first in dying was the manager due to an infected wound, and when her other group member (who was also a very close friend) was killed by a zombie later on... something clicked inside katherine.

she was already all by herself when she was found by the wings almost two years ago, and has been with them since.

nowadays she’s mostly her usual sweet, extroverted and playful self, who cares and worries too much sometimes, but the moment zombies enter the scene she changes completely.

let’s just say she turns into a killing machine, and a very efficient one too.

and that actually has her a bit troubled, because she doesn’t know how to deal with this anger and this pain.

is normal seeing her helping in patrols and guarding when she’s not looking for supplies.

also likes to pick flowers when she’s out, and give them to random people (or to those she has to bring any supplies).

and will put on small performances for anyone who likes to watch her, she knows lots of kpop choreos.

there’s a very small part inside her that still believes she might see her family again, but she mostly thinks they are dead (and it really pains her).

her mindset can go from “tomorrow we could be dead so let’s just live this moment” to “we are doomed, why keep going?”.

she honestly just wants a home.

connection ideas

people she knows from before the outbreak. could be idols from other agencies, staff members and professionals in the industry, even dancers too.

people she met when everything collapsed, they were part of the first groups she joined before finally finding the wings, but they part ways at some point.

someone who saved her from an attack (i have a detailed plot for this), and someone she saved from an attack.

someone who taught her some new fighting moves when she clicked and decided she was going to kill all the zombies that crossed her path.

a... fan? wow they exist!

people she’s trying to provide emotional support, because she’s that kind of person.

fellow fighters she trains and raids with (?)

roommates !

someone she’s currently living the moment with, it could be a “will they, won’t they” type of thing or more of a too scared/damaged to label things yet (i have a plot for this).

#outbreakintro #sorry this is a bit of a mess #give her love and let her kill things (?)

30 Modern Horror Movies For Your Spooking Pleasure (Updated for 2018)

Dearest Friends and Fellow Rainbow Seekers,

as you may know, I am rather obsessed with horror movies. Over my lifetime, I have submitted myself to thousands of hours of horror cinema, but such extended exposure has come at a cost. It is true that I sometimes lose sleep over the fear of grinning demons sitting at the foot of my bed, or perhaps finding the bloated corpse of a drowned girl crying in my closet. But dark thoughts, as such, are typical to those who willfully endure the macabre. As a horror fan, nothing is more terrifying—or more gratifying—than clammering your way through the black swamp of terrible movies in search of the diamonds in the rough.

I have done the work for you, dear reader. I have hunted through hundreds of faux haunts and I have identified those that are genuine. And if you’re willing, I would be honored to serve as your guide through this realm of dark cinema. A concise list lies below, consisting both of films widely recognized, and lesser-known cult classics. They are united only by their modernity and their overall awesomeness. This is a list of films to be watched by all fans of cinema. So I urge you, dear reader, to call your significant other (or the one you desire to be your significant other). Then, put on your favorite onesie, and get ready for spookiness! Because the night is dark and full of terror—and you deserve to be spooked by those films most worthy of spooking!

The Babadook - 2014 [TRAILER]

This might be my favorite on the entire list, so I'm gonna stick it right here at the top. But really, if there's one movie on this list that you should watch, it's the Babadook. Sure, you might have to suspend your disbelief on a few occasions, but it's totally worth it. It seems so rare that horror movies transcend their linear plots into something deeper, but the Babadook succeeds to descend to wonderfully cerebral depths. Without spoiling too much, the plot centers around a mother, grieving the loss of her husband, and her ADHD trouble-child, who come across a creepy kids’ book. An emotional and psychological haunting ensues that dares viewers to venture into the realms of depression and mania.

Let the Right One In - 2008 [TRAILER]

I've been bored of Vampires since Harry Potter, but this little charmer bit me right in the jugular. The plot centers around a boy who befriends a young female vampire—and yes, for you vampire loving people out there, it does get kind of romancy (in that innocent kid way). Apart from the totally on-point acting, the film maintains an oddly delicate balance of emotional tenderness and intimacy to total blood-chugging brutality. It is easily the best vampire movie to date, and if Swedish subs aren't your thing, there's an American version, Let Me In, that is equally as good.

It Follows - 2015 [TRAILER]

With one of the most original plots I've ever experienced in a horror movie, It Follows is being touted as one of the best movies of 2015. It's a film best left to experience without outside influence, but I can say that this film will be well enjoyed by those who appreciate speculation, interpretation, and subplots involving the exchange of STDs. It follows tread along a straight forward plot, but contains a wonderful amount of depth to sift through afterward. The film also has top-notch acting and is beautifully shot (much of it shot in Detroit). Make sure you see it with a few friends so you can talk about it afterward!

The Orphanage - 2007 [TRAILER]

I love me a sad, creepy ghost story, and there's something even better about them when they involve dead children. Like many of the films on my list, The Orphanage, produced by Guillermo Del Toro, has just that. But in all seriousness, this film has a wonderfully emotional story that’s rarely found in the horror genre. It's a well-known classic amid fans of the horror genre, a film that masterfully builds writhing tension to evoke its scares.

Lake Mungo - 2008 [TRAILER]

Lake Mungo offers a long-winded but mature examination of loss and grief. Its presentation is almost dreamlike, with a plot that focuses on the horrors experienced by a family after the drowning of their daughter. Lake Mungo exceeds as a film in the way that it relentlessly builds upon a wrenching sense of dread. Made with a tiny budget, but supported by solid acting, this film is surprisingly believable and captures the vulnerability, isolation, and confusion experienced after the unexpected death of a loved one. Simply put, this movie is completely terrifying, yet contains almost no cheap scares. It's a 100% unrelenting, slow-roast dread that doesn't let up until well after the credits.

REC - 2007 [TRAILER]

The original REC is a deliberately fast-paced film that sandwiches its doomed characters between compounding layers of dread, resulting in of one of the best modern horror films in years. The pseudo-zombie plot derails right from the get-go, and later smashes into the supernatural for a terrifying climax. But the disgusting monster at the end? That takes the cake for one of nastiest creepers ever to make it into cinema.

The Curse (Noroi) - 2005 [TRAILER]

There is a goldmine of Eastern horror out there, and the Curse represents the genre as one of the best. It's a Japanese, low budget, faux documentary, that—amid scenes of complete ridiculousness—manages to be completely and dreadfully effective. Noroi presents an engrossing, slow-burn mystery that carefully leaks the details of an ancient demon-curse. If you're interested in venturing into classic eastern horror, definitely check this one out.

Kill List - 2011 [TRAILER]

In some ways, Kill List tries to be a deep character study (and I'd say for the first 45 minutes, this might hold true), but then it’s quickly upstaged by an eerie crime drama, which later transforms into a totally effed cult-terror-gore-fest. Somehow, it all seems to work together, leaving you with a disturbing, yet surprisingly thought-provoking mess to discuss with your friends. This is a film to be viewed with others, and I highly recommend it for those who love cults, mysteries, and gore.

28 Days Later - 2002 [TRAILER]

While I wanted to avoid the obvious choices for this list, I couldn't leave out 28 Days Later, because...Well, it's just too good to ignore. With fast zombies, sympathetic characters, and incredible production, Danny Boyle has created one of the best pieces of apocalyptic horror ever made. You’ve probably already seen it, so you might as well see it again.

The Descent - 2005 [TRAILER]

The Descent stars six women, all part of an extreme adventure club, who decide to explore the creepiest cave in the entire world. In this cave, of course, dwell terrible, fanged, amphibious slime creatures who have an affinity for jump scares and standing directly behind the backs of the characters...but the real horror of this movie is the cave. The movie absolutely excels in conveying intense desperation and suffocating claustrophobia. Despite solid reviews, I had low hopes for this movie, but ended up really enjoying it. Highly recommended.

Cabin in the Woods - 2012 [TRAILER]

Horror fans tout Cabin in the Woods as a modern classic. Is it particularly scary? No. But it does provide an ample serving of self-aware humor and cliche-bending twists. I don't care much for self-aware horror movies, but Cabin in the Woods does it right, offering one of the best works of pop culture entertainment that the horror genre has ever seen.

Suicide Club - 2002 [TRAILER]

With an opening scene of 50+ Japanese schoolgirls jumping in front of a train, I can confidently say that Suicide Club is one of the most hardcore horror movies of all time. The movie follows a wave of unexplained suicides and slowly pieces together a rather nebulous mystery. Answers, however, are few and far between, and I am still not sure if I actually like this movie. But for anyone who is looking for something a little bit darker, this is for you.

Battle Royale - 2000 [TRAILER]

Before the Hunger Games, there was Battle Royale, which happens to be set in a similar dystopian universe, wrought with unemployment, crime, and malcontent. Each year, a randomly selected 9th grade class of Japanese, khaki-donning schoolchildren are outfitted with exploding shock collars and given an assortment of weapons. They are then forced to hunt each other down until there is only one left. Long story short, it's the hunger games with an R rating, and if I am not mistaken, this controversial child-massacre-gore fest was banned for a time. But for real, this movie rules, topping its big-budget, modern successor with tons of style, as well as a healthy dose of dark, humorous cynicism. If you felt that the Hunger Games didn’t have enough teen gore, then this movie is for you.

The Devil’s Backbone - 2001 [TRAILER]

A haunting allegory of the Spanish Civil War, Guillermo Del Toro's film presents a chilling school house ghost story that stands as a masterfully produced piece of cinema. It's heavily atmospheric, emotionally fraught, and above all else, spooky. This fable is one of Del Toro's best and is a must watch on this list.

Creep - 2015 [TRAILER]

Laced in dry humor, Creep is another slow burner that masterfully builds upon a foundation of discomfort and creeping uneasiness that relies little on jump scares (although, it does not forgo them). The two fold script prompts some of the best acting on this list - and rumors state that much of it was improvised. Creep is proof that you don't need to have a big budget with CGI jump scares to make a compelling horror movie. Did I mention that it's available for Netflix streaming, too?

Gerald's Game (89% RT) [TRAILER]

The plot begins with a dude named Gerald, who, with his wife, depart to an ocean side cabin for a sexy-time retreat. Except their sexy time, in typical Stephen King fashion, goes horribly wrong. Next thing you know, Gerald is being eaten by a dog and she's handcuffed to the bed and then the boogieman starts to come out at night. Hopefully I didn't just ruin the movie for you, but for real, it gets really good - and the boogieman is one of the best horror spooks I've seen in a long time. The wife, Carla Gugino, gives nothing short of a stellar performance, too.

The Witch (91% RT) [TRAILER]

The Witch centers itself around a (Puritan?) family who is banished to the outskirts of the New England wilderness in the 1600s (where an ancient and foreboding evil lurks). Shortly after, the crops die, people get possessed, someone's nipple is eaten by a demon crow, and Satan appears as the family goat, named "Black Philip." Despite what I just said, the Witch bares little, but what it does reveal is absolutely brutal. But the real horror is not what hides in the woods, but rather the evil that makes its way inside of the characters. Overall, it's an exceptionally well made period piece that will marinade you in dread... and thus the Witch is one of my favorite horror movies of all time.

Under the Shadow (99%) [TRAILER]

Under the Shadow is an art house masterpiece that serves as one of the greatest horror movies ever made, yet it is mostly unknown outside of horror circles. The movie is about an Iranian mother and daughter, living in a bombed out Tehran in the middle of the Iran-Iraq war. Her Husband, a doctor, is drafted to serve at the war front and they are left behind when an undetonated missile comes crashing into their apartment building (followed by a superstitious neighbor spouting about how the missile brought with it a middle eastern demon, or Djinn). Things start to get creepy when random items being to go missing, the daughter's behavior becomes increasingly erratic, and the Mother is plagued by horrible nightmares. But most unnerving of all is the isolation and desperation of a mother and daughter trapped in urban chaos.

IT (86% RT) [TRAILER]

An ancient, child devouring evil lurks under the town of Derry, Maine, who manifests itself physically as the apex of one's fears. Over the centuries, It has developed a taste for children (whose fears are easier to conceptualize, apparently), and thus It's preferred manifestation is that of a google-eyed, drooling, and mildly pedaphilic clown named Pennywise. Without drenching this write-up with my slobbering love for this movie, please know that the director and actors absolutely nailed it. The book presents 1200+ pages of historical world building with time-jumping plot lines - and the movie does an amazing job portraying the phantasmagoric and fantastical, yet demon-beleaguered town of Derry. Director, Andres Muschietti and co. deserve every penny of the 300 million dollars it has grossed since release.

It Comes at Night (89% RT) [TRAILER]

It Comes at Night is a psychological slow-burner, relying on the fears of the unknown, of mistrust, and of post-apocalyptic desperation. The plot revolves around the plight of a family, isolated and hidden, in their forest home as an undefined and unnatural blight ravages the outside world. One day, another destitute family comes stumbling into their home, who are cautiously taken in. Paranoia and mistrust slowly begin to boil between the two families, awakening an evil greater than the zombie-esque disease they seek to hide from. It's an unnervingly fantastic film that will stick with you long after viewing.

Get Out (99%) [TRAILER]

You can't have a “best of horror” list without mentioning "Get Out." The plot, which involves a bi-racial couple making a visit to the girlfriend's (white) parent's house, is both sharp and nimble in its often satirical portrayal of racial tension. The over-the-top plot initially focuses on a particularly awkward form of racial envy, which quickly derails into something much more sadistic - all the while tinged with director Jordan Peele's trademark humor. It is a movie that gives hope to the genre and has absolutely cemented itself as one of the best horror flicks ever made.

Train the Busan (95%) [TRAILER]

A father and daughter find themselves fleeing through the countryside (via train) amidst a zombie apocalypse. It's predictable, gory, and over-the-top, but in our cinematic world, over-peppered with every kind of zombie flick conceivable, Train to Busan still explores nuances amidst its campy and relentless action. Simply put, "Train to Busan" is a well-made and exceptionally entertaining film that still offers a dose of originality from within its South Korean setting. Just try not to take it too seriously.

The Wailing (99%) [TRAILER]

In a quiet south Korean village, a strange visitor appears, and soon after people start violently killing each other. In a panicked desperation, the police consult the occult to aid in solving the mythical blight that threats to spread beyond the village's outskirts. The Wailing is best enjoyed without knowing too much, but this phantasmagoric and gritty film is a cemented gem of Korean horror. It has some flaws and is exceptionally long, but the exploration of creepy eastern cult-mythology makes it well worth the trek.

The Banshee Chapter (75% RT) [TRAILER]

A man goes missing after consuming some CIA branded psychedelic research chemicals - and his friend decides (with the help of a gonzo-inspired journalist) that she’s going to track him down. They acquire the aforementioned chemicals and proceed to smoke them, which apparently allows an evil deity to invade their lives (this particular deity takes the spooky meter and sends it to level 10). The plot is, admittedly, pretty lame, but if you can embrace the campiness, you'll find the movie is legitimately terrifying. I was prepared for a b-movie cheese fest, but for real, this movie is exceptionally spooky.

Hell House (76%) [TRAILER]

A malfunction occurs in an Halloween attraction set on the site of a hotel with a nefarious past, causing the death of 15 people. A half decade later, a documentary crew decides to investigate the tragedy and end up acquiring some tapes of the incident. It's a bit cheesy, but the plot and the acting are pretty damn good for a straight-to-VOD, found footage B-movie. Most importantly, though, is that "Hell House" is extraordinary creepy; completely worth watching for the thrill of horror.

Hereditary (89% RT) [TRAILER]

Cemented by Toni Collette’s wonderful performance, Hereditary is easily the best horror movie of 2018. The movie presents one menacing sucker punch after another as it rips apart the ground beneath the security of home. Both devastating and anything-but-subtle, Hereditary is recommended to those who like ancient demons, candle lit seances, and the occult.

A Quiet Place (95% RT) [TRAILER]

A Quiet Place’s plot, both affecting and inventive, throbs with (at times) agonizing, hold-your-breath tension. At the core you will find a family of four, struggling to survive in a world inhabited by invasive, sound-sensitive creatures who would prefer the extinction of humans. John Krasinski serves as both director and acting lead, which is good news for those of us who could care less for the recent stream of superfluous action movies he’s been producing.

A Dark Song (91% RT) [TRAILER]

Brooding and methodical, A Dark Song is set-piece pagan horror at its finest. It features only two characters: A mother in mourning and an arrogant occultist whom she seeks the aid of. The duo lock themselves in an old mansion to enact a lengthy and risky ritual, one that (ideally) results in a wish being granted. The acting is both fantastic and believable as the characters, in typical horror movie fashion, make mistakes that send them into a descent of madness. It’s witchcraft-gone-wrong; a slow burner with the relentless dread and chaos of a waking nightmare. This is one of my all time favorite indie horror movies. Highly recommended.

1922 (89% RT) [TRAILER]

Unreliably narrated via the confession of a father who murders his wife (and who also ropes his hesitant son into the act), 1922 is a brooding tale of a man driven to madness by way of guilt. There are no jump scares to be found, as the movie favors the father’s slow-rot suffering and his futile and increasingly desperate attempts to bury his festering guilt. Psychological horror at its finest, this King adaptation is another excellent addition to Netflix’s diverse and original collection of horror movies. The Ritual (71%) [TRAILER]

While imperfect at best, this B-movie, set in northern Sweden, provides an interesting set (creepy, frost-dusted hinterlands) inhabited by four bros and an imaginative monster who’d prefer they were hiking somewhere else. Ankles are sprained and tempers swell as the friends become increasingly lost amidst a forest of their misjudgment. This movie is the definition of “pretty decent” with enough substance to hopefully see you through to the “less than decent” finale.

31 for 31: Gore Horror Reviews – Part 1

Note: This series was never completed due to personal issues.

31 for 31 (not to be confused with ESPN’s 30 for 30 movie series, which I totally didn’t rip off) is a series of articles where I cover a different horror movie for each day in October. A few years back I tried something similar to this feature where I attempted to watch and review a movie every day throughout the month of October. That idea quickly ran out steam as I couldn’t keep up with the task, so this year I’ve decided to try something a little different. This time around, I’m still planning on covering 31 different movies, but it will be broken down into four parts that will go up about once a week throughout the month.

I’m also not trying to break down each of these movies or write in-depth reviews. Instead this is just going to be a more laid back series of articles. I’ll still give you my final score for each movie (because people love scores), but think of this more like a blog. So with all that out of the way, hopefully I can help guide you towards something worth watching during my favorite time of the year.

-1- The Conjuring

2013 | R | 1h 52m

Based on one of the real-life cases of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, The Conjuring tells the story of a Rhode Island family that is being tormented by what appears to be a demonic force. I’m normally not a fan of possession/exorcism movies (I think The Exorcist is one of the most overrated movies ever made), but when I watched The Conjuring back in 2013 I loved it. I have to say, after watching it again for this article, it definitely holds up. Even though I’d already seen it and was watching it in the middle of the day there were still parts that creeped me out and had me on edge. It’s the perfect combination of psychological and jump scares and also features some pretty decent acting. It’s honestly one of the best horror films I’ve seen in the last decade and I think everyone should watch it.

Score: 5 out of 5

-2- The Conjuring 2

2016 | R | 2h 14m

The Conjuring 2 takes things across the pond to England where another family is being tormented by a demonic force and is based on the real-life Enfield haunting. The first half of the movie is about on par with its predecessor, as it creates a palpable tension and is genuinely frightening. Unfortunately, as the film progresses it starts to go a bit off the rails. Most of the scare tactics were used up in the beginning, so repeated scares had little affect. I mean, you can only be scared by something suddenly appearing on screen accompanied by a loud noise so many times before it gets played out. There were also times where the film just felt downright campy, which I normally don’t mind, but it felt out of place in this particular movie. All that said, The Conjuring 2 still tells an interesting story and is better than most other horror films from recent years. It’s good and deserves a watch, but It does fall short of living up to the original.

Score: 4 out of 5

-3- Don’t Breathe

2016 | R | 1h 28m

Three thieves, each with their own motives, decide to break into the home of a blind veteran in hopes of nabbing an easy $300,000. That’s the simple premise behind Don’t Breathe, but when the blind man turns the tables on the would-be thieves and they end up trapped in his home, simplicity goes out the window. I wouldn’t say it’s a groundbreaking moment for the genre, but with a few twists and a lot of tension, Don’t Breathe is a damn solid film and one I’d highly recommend checking out.

Score: 4 out of 5

-4- Ghostbusters

2016 | PG-13 | 2h 14m

The original Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies, but unlike many other “fans” I was actually looking forward to the Ghostbusters reboot from last year. Unfortunately, all the whiny little internet trolls got their wish and said reboot turned out to be pretty bad. The pacing is atrocious and the writing is even worse. I have zero problems with the cast. In fact I like each member of the Ghostbusters team quite a bit. It’s just a shame that the writing is so terrible that none of them could actually shine. I did feel that, if written properly, these characters could have been the perfect collection of new Ghostbusters. There were some small glimmers of hope like the variety of new weapons and gadgets at the busters’ disposal, as well as the talented cast, that I know a possible sequel could be great. I guess we will have to see if it ever manifests though. Until then, I think it’s best to just forget this particular entry even exists.

Score: 1 out of 5

-5- It Follows

2014 | R | 1h 47m

Until I watched It Follows, it seemed like a film that people either loved or hated. I guess I bucked that trend because I fell somewhere in the middle and thought it was just okay. The premise is basically that characters are pursued by some sort of supernatural entity and the only way to free themselves from its pursuit it to pass it on to someone else through sexual intercourse. There were some genuinely creepy and disturbing moments, but there were also plenty of moments that just fell flat thanks to sub par acting. If I had to point to one thing that I found particularly great, it would be the soundtrack which was done by Disasterpiece, who worked on the games Fez and Hyper Light Drifter. If you’re a horror fan, I think It Follows is a movie you should watch at least once, if for nothing more than to see what all the hype is about.

Score: 3 out of 5

-6- Krampus

2015 | PG-13 | 1hr 38m

Two things I particularly enjoy in the horror genre are movies with a Christmas theme and those that integrate comedy. Krampus does both of these nearly perfectly. There’s nothing more unsettling than seeing people being terrorized during what is supposed to be one of the happiest times of the year. While it’s not the scariest movie you’ll probably ever see, between homicidal gingerbread men, grotesque children’s toys, and freaky little elves there’s just so much to love about Krampus.

Score: 4 out of 5

-7- The Midnight After

2014 | NR | 2h 2m

I originally watched The Midnight After on a whim and I’m glad I did because it’s kind of fantastic. Set in Hong Kong, a group of strangers catch a late night ride on a minibus and soon realize they are the only people left in the city. What follows is one wild ride of a movie filled with a ton of bizarre and off-the-wall moments. Some of these moments actually kept me thinking about the film days after I watched it. It really is a movie that has to be seen to best understand and, if you have Netflix, you should definitely give it a shot.

Score: 4 out of 5

-8- Train to Busan

2016 | NR | 1h 58m

Prior to watching Train to Busan I had heard great things about it and I’m thrilled to say that it did not disappoint. In a genre that has been over saturated by zombies in the last few years, Train to Busan feels like a fresh take. It displays one the most brutal and relentless depictions of zombies I’ve ever seen in a movie and it also features a cast of endearing characters that I actually came to care about. There were also a handful of jaw-dropping moments that I wasn’t expecting to see. I can’t say enough good things about Train to Busan. It’s absolutely a movie that all horror or zombie fans should check out.

Score: 5 out of 5

I'm trying to learn italian and I was wondering if you know some ways (like tv shows or books) that could help

Hi! Wow, kudos! I think your idea is the right one - when learning a language, following some kind of textbook to understand the grammar and working on vocab are the most important things, but watching TV, reading and listening to music are extremely useful ways to both keep motivated and learn about the culture (for beginners) and discover new words and realize how far you’ve come (intermediate level and beyond).

Now, the problem with Italy is that a) it’s really not online a lot as a country and b) TV shows are often about ‘exotic’ realities like Sicily, which means that they’re not ideal for language learners because they will feature a specific kind of Italian that’s often much harder than the standard one (hell, I need subs for some movies). On the plus side, Italy’s got a vibrant music scene, and ferreting around the web you’ll find both the original lyrics and (sometimes) an English translation.

So, here are a few ideas to get you started.

TV shows

Gomorra - linguistically speaking, often difficult, since it’s based in Naples, but a gritty story and an interesting insight into Italy’s criminal underbelly.

Il commissario Montalbano - again, there’s a lot of Sicilian here, but this is really a show most Italians watch and it’s absolutely delightful. The books, of course, written by Andrea Camilleri, are much better, but unless you’re a motivated C1 please read them in translation. Oh, and there’s a spinoff for thirsty people featuring a younger commissario.

Romanzo Criminale is both a series and a movie - again, there are some difficult terms because it’s set in Rome and it focuses on a criminal family, but it’s certainly a story worth watching. Addic7ed’s got English subs for both seasons.

Don Matteo is also a detective story of some kind, but a lot more light-hearted. It stars 1980s heart-throb and current national treasure Terence Hill as an unusual priest with an interesting life.

(Sorry, got distracted.)

(Jesus, though, look at him.)

(Okay, one more second.)

Un medico in famiglia was an immensely successful series which ran for ten years and finished (I think) in 2016. It’s a sort of family sitcom with famous actor Lino Banfi. A bit naff for me, but definitely steeped in reality and a good choice for language learners.

Elisa di Rivombrosa ravaged the country like a petticoated storm about ten years ago - a classic soap-opera set in the 1790s, it features all the tropes of the genre - star-crossed lovers, war, betrayal - if you can think about it, it’s there.

Medici: Masters of Florence was originally shot in English because it stars Dustin Hoffman (???) and King in the North Richard Madden, but you should be able to find the Italian version (most of the other actors are Italian, so it’s not really a dubbing). From a quality point of view, it was nowhere near other big historical productions like The Borgias or Versailles, but it was okay, and also focused on people we normally know nothing about - not famous Lorenzo il Magnifico, but his cunning and ruthless father, Cosimo, played by Richard.

Finally, remember that the Italian dubbing industry is probably the best in the world - personally, I feel like a good way to learn languages is to watch a favourite show you almost know by heart in another language. That way, you don’t have to focus on the story and can sit back and not get frustrated if you don’t understand a key scene or something, because hey, you know what’s happening already. Humour is probably the hardest thing to translate, so I’d stay away from sitcoms, but as for drama, we’ve got it all - Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, The Mentalist, CSI - if you’ve got money to splurge on DVDs, just watch with the Italian dialogue and English subs at first, then turn on Italian subs. That’s basically my favourite language learning exercise.

And also: as I said, Italy’s not really online yet, and if you don’t live in the country I don’t think you’ve got access to RAI content from their website, but some things are available on Youtube. For instance, you can find complete episodes (look for “puntata intera”) of Piero Angela’s documentaries (which are always well-made and really interesting), the Italian X Factor, Undercover Boss (Boss in incognito), Junior Masterchef Italia, game show L’eredità, and also Report’s tough investigative journalism, Daria Bignardi’s interviews with VIPs and celebrities, and clips of popular political programs such as Ballarò, Annozero, Porta a Porta, Crozza nel paese delle meraviglie (which is more satire, but still) and so on.

Movies

I won’t give you a list of Italian movies you should absolutely watch, because there are dozens of good lists around the web already, but recent favourites of mine include Le fate ignoranti (or, really, anything by Ferzan Ozpetek, one of the best directors Italy has to offer), Pane e tulipani, and most of all La meglio gioventù, a majestic tour de force which manages to be absolutely everything - a fascinating story full of unforgettable characters, a sharp social critique denouncing issues as diverse as the far right, political corruption and the shameful treatment of mentally ill people, and a must-see insight into Italian history of the past forty years - if you’ve ever wondered why Italy is the way it is, please watch this movie. It will add years to your life and it’s good for language learning, because most characters speak a clear, standard Italian and not at the usual breakneck speed, either.

Books

Italian writers are generally very creative with their language, so it’s always hard to rec books to language learners. A good bet are post-war novels, which were deliberately written in a simpler style - try Primo Levi, Giorgio Bassani or Natalia Ginzburg - and, as for more recent stuff - I enjoyed YA love story La solitudine dei numeri primi, Venuto al mondo by Margaret Mazzantini (which managed to be both about that special relationship between a mom and her son and the tragedy of the siege of Sarajevo - witchcraft, surely?), zombie apocalypse dystopia Anna by Nicolò Ammaniti, Valerio Massimo Manfredi’s Alexander, and, of course, Elena Ferrante’s books (which, well, are a good example of that perfect linguistic mastery I mentioned earlier, so they may be easier to read in translation - but they are a must-read).

Music

As I said, music is a big part of Italian culture - there are dozens of songs everybody knows by heart, and young people playing guitar and shouting the lyrics to the high heavens in the most improbable places (river banks, packed trains, the steps of some church) is still a common sight (thank God). From Fabrizio de André’s sheer poetry, to Francesco de Gregory’s often nonsensical beauty, all the way to the powerful love ballads of Claudio Baglioni and Lucio Battisti, there really is something for everyone. Some websites will offer a translation of the lyrics, but if your level is intermediate or higher, you shouldn’t find it too hard to understand them on your own - and I’m sure you’ll be more than tempted to sing along, because, really - forget Fellini and pizza and Roman ruins - music is really what holds the country together, and Italian, with its rich vowels and soft prosody, is really really really suited to be a singing language.

Buon divertimento and remember - language learning is magic and insane and also a process: go at your own pace and enjoy yourself.

Rrrrrandom game ideas from bunni, again! I started thinking more about my dumb idea for a Monster Rancher tribute type game. Happy fun farm pet raising monstery game, with monsters that you can crossbreed to get fancy new ones! ITS A GENRE THAT NEEDS TO COME BACK Really all I have developed is the gameplay ideas and I just need to think of a good story to go with it. So yeah! Random! Undeveloped! Story ideas!!!

I was thinking maybe I could work on my random idea of monster raising being a hobby of the ultra rich, like gladiator arenas and fox hunting and stuff. You’d play as a comparatively not an asshole rich person who got cut off from mommy and daddy’s money for being an embarassment, and has to prove themself by bringing the family monster barn back up to champion status! And your assistant would be a cute lil kid, but also a seriously bitter expert. Someone who’d been working her hardest to climb the ladder and become a monster trainer even though she’s from a poor family, and having to do degrading work as an assistant in the meantime. Cos lazy rich folks don’t want to ACTUALLY look after their monsters, they just want to battle! So they hire some servant to do all the heavy lifting, plus that way they have someone else to blame when they lose... So she’s lucky to get the protagonist as her next employer, and you’re both on more of an equal level than usual since protag is the unwanted step-kid of the nobles after all. Underdog team! But still, you start off as a bit of a clueless egotistical toff, and she has to tutorial you on all the basics. i think the worldbuilding would be gradually introduced like that, you just start off as ‘you are a guy running a monstr barn’ and then you start to wonder why your assistant knows so much more than you, etc etc... And then you could choose to either befriend her and become a better person, or to just be the same asshole every other noble trainer is. Alas! I was thinking maybe the good ending could be something bittersweet, like you win the big tournement but then decide to return home to your noble family and try and use your influence to make things better for the lower class. Even if it means saying goodbye to your assistant friend! But then you could get an epilogue of coming back years later when she’s a grown up monster trainer, and you’ve become a benevolent politician that’s improving the world of monster training. AND YOU HUG. A LOT. But whatever, that’s just my dumb beta ideas so far!

Also i dunno yet about the monster lineup, but I was thinking maybe just have one main breed representing each classical rpg element. Sounds like a tiny amount of mons, but they can each interbreed with each other to make all sorts of variants! I figure with a smaller number I could actually have a design for every single combination, it always bugged me in MR2 that some mons just completely lack any sub-breeds. The Kato especially suffers from a strange lack of em for one of the basic starter monsters, and then it never got to appear again in any of the sequels T_T Oh, and I was thinking that it could be cool to add smaller variants to the variants! Like, monsters could still retain a small elemental affinity from their great grandparents. Like you could have a fire x ice crossbreed but it’s colour has some green stripes cos there was a particularly strong grass type in its ancestry. Or maybe just make battle moves pass down with inheritance too! So you could have a random single move from an ancestor pop up if you’re lucky, and get a dark type that can throw out light, or whatever. I think maybe the opposite elements would be ones that’re harder to breed? maybe you have to breed two partial mixes together for it? like, in Monster Rancher if you breed a Tiger and a Golem you can recieve a Tiger, Golem, GolemTiger or TigerGolem. And if you breed that TigerGolem with a PixieMew you have a chance of a TigerPixie, GolemPixie, GolemMew, MewTiger, etc etc. With the more distantly related ones being much rarer! So maybe you can’t breed a fire and a grass monster together, but you can breed a FireWater and a LightningGrass, or whatever. So the FireGrass baby would be the rarest option when you do that, and thus worth the most on the market. ANYWAY Currently all I have designed is a zombie/ghost bunny creature for Darkness and a floaty halo sigil thing for Light. And I think all the monsters would be split into physical and magical specialities too, with those two being the most spirity ones.
