Have any of ye seen the French movie Inside?
That was crazier than Martyrs I thought.

The original Martyrs. Didn't find it hard to watch which had me thinking about the extent of my own desensitization.

I had the same experience, but I came out of the other end of it feeling like the pinnacle of gore had been reached, that there wasn't really any further to go, and as a result - it seems anyway - I just haven't been interested in that kind of psycho-gore horror since at all. It's not that I didn't appreciate it, although the actually story and ending are fairly banal, but its horror extremity left me kind of cold and safe. Requiem for a Dream hits similar extremes, in a different domain, sure, but that really left me shaken both times I saw it, because of its "There but for the grace of God..." angle I suppose. Dunno. Midsomar was the first new horror I've watched in years and years, and it's because of this that I still haven't gotten around to things like Hereditary, which I'm sure is great, but I just don't feel excited enough by the idea of watching it to actually put it on.

I generally don't bother with new horror or gore movies. They don't really do anything for me and I went into this not knowing what to expect.

Requiem rattled me as a young fella. Such an amazing film. Hereditary was recommended by an ex last year so I watched it for peace and was more than pleasantly surprised.

Yeah I was the same, thought it was alright, nothing overly special but decent enough

Requiem is one I've been meaning to watch for years, must get around to it soon

Requiem is an amazing film but I'm not sure that I ever need to see it again. It's so relentlessly grim.

Hereditary was recommended to me last night. Going to lash it on in a bit. That or Requiem for a Dream.

Requiem is an infinitely better movie if you haven't seen it.

Cool, I'll give that one a go so. I haven't seen either. Sound.

Aye Requiem is some film. One of those you can't really describe to someone. You just have to watch it.

Watched Martyrs there. Enjoyable would be the wrong term but I was entertained for the most part. Certainly not as grim as Requiem or even The Deer Hunter.

Watched The Godfather there. Haven't watched it in 17 years. Beautiful.

Will watch II tomorrow and been meaning to throw on Deer Hunter so will do that as well.

Watched The Untouchables there for the first time since I was a kid. Very entertaining, the two hours flew by, but not quite up there with others it could be compared to.

The Deer Hunter is another I haven't seen since I was about 13, must stick it on the list too. Russian roulette is all I remember, and even then only vaguely.

The first hour is torture, from what I remember. That wedding scene just wouldn't end. I get that it was setting up how close they were, but I was relieved when it ended.

Watched the hills have eyes remake.
Really good film and now I can't get that bloody california dreamin song out of my head.

Another few remakes I can think that were really good as well are the evil dead and Dawn of the dead.
