Horror flick junkies, you gotta get in here.
12 years ago
So I used to make a lot of journal about horror flicks. People that know me know i'm a horror media junky, whether it's books, films or games, i'm not an easy customer either, especially with horror flicks i think about 95% of them and especially most of the torture/gore porn shit that comes out today is just trash. I watch things while i draw and work and I was pretty much out of shit to watch, caught up on the few shows i watch and have seen all the english language horror flicks that appear worth watching. Desperate, i started googling "Best of 2012" lists and one of them mentioned an obscure little zero budget indie flick called Resolution, I watched the trailer and it looked interesting.
I couldn't find it anywhere, my only option to view it appeared to be to shell out 6.99 on amazon video which was tough to swallow but I did it.
I just finished it and it's one of those rare movies that was so good and so interesting and just downright dread inducing I want to let people know about it. All i gotta say is, if you enjoy great psychological horror you really need to give it a shot. The guys that made this did an amazing job on it and it's easily one of the best horror flicks i've seen in years.
I don't want to give away a whole lot but basically a guy's best friend sends him an email with a map to his cabin out in the boonies and a video. His friend is a rock bottom meth junky who has rebuffed all his previous attempts to get him into rehab so he decides to handcuff him to a pipe in the cabin and just stay with him while he detoxes. The boonies there are really strange with lots of very strange people wandering around but every day he feels like he's being led to things, records, old film reels, photographs, he gets the feeling somebody is watching them and messing with them. Things get more and more weird and it just piles on the dread and unease from there.
If you're looking for blood and guts, look elsewhere this is just pure psychological horror and mystery. Resolution. Awesome awesome little flick and these guys deserve to make some money off it. This is the film titled Resolution from 2012 just so it's not confused with others of the same name.

It's funny, i put off watching paranormal activity 4 due to it being panned by viewers and critics and sinister got praise by both for the most part and i actually enjoyed PA4 a lot more.
And found footage is one of my favorite genres of horror flicks. If you haven't seen them you should check out The Tunnel and Evidence.
I'm mostly into "Scary" type horror or at least horror that is psychological and really makes you feel uneasy. Do you think i'd like it?
Its another slow burn of a horror movie. Not a slasher movie, no high body counts, but a really disturbing portrait of a family that takes its time to get to where its going. Worth checking out IMO
I got nothing against slow burners, i loved House of the Devil. I might check out the woman.
However, i made the mistake of asking for recommendations for horror flicks once here and i got a lot of people suggesting 13 ghosts, the saw movies and lots of really really shitty special effects bonanza teen horror crap.
