The Mist (2017)
Quite entertaining and highly underrated
I am a big fan of scary and horror movies and literally grew up with this kind of movie. Also I am not so much into too much gore or brutality but prefer atmospheric, mystical and thought provoking movies with characters that I can identify with. In my opinion "The Mist" delivers exactly that: Dark atmosphere, not too much gore and realistic characters. The setting of a small town with most people knowing each other gave plenty of room for side stories and twists, which fit very well into the series.
It might be a bit slow moving and contain little action but to be honest I did not miss this at all, as it just would not fit too well with this film adaption of Stephen King's novel. People who want more action and horror might find it in "American Horror Story". Personally I prefer "The Mist" though, as the characters are more realistic and just the overall mood is more my kind of thing.
One of my new favorites and I was positively surprised.
Martyrs (2008)
Good Movie but...
..not easy to watch. The movie is very well made and is as well scary as well as horribly gory. I have seen a lot of horror movies and there is none other that stirred me as much as this one. And to be honest I did not enjoy watching this movie and I will probably never watch it again; at the end it left me with a deep sadness.. .
But stirring ones emotions, scaring you to death and revolting you about the horrific things you see is what does this movie really really well. And for that (even if I did not enjoy watching it) in my opinion it earns a good rating. Because this movie succeeds in what it wants to achieve.
So in short: It is by far the most scary movie I have seen so far! Watch at your own risk!
