Omg I love these people's humor.
Unfortunately I've seen both of the mentioned movies.
I've watched Baskin and I dunno, it's fucked up for sure.. But I feel like I've watched way much worse (as in fucked up) movies.
Shutter
Oh shit. Is there another version of this? I've watched the remake apparently and didn't even know there was another, better version.. I actually liked the remake but I'm adding the original to my watchlist!
Also I kinda agree with mostly everything you're saying.
Wow there is some great gems here!
The Others is amazing and I remember being blown away by it when I watched it. Totally love it!
The new Boogyman was probably one of my favorite more last year. It actually made me really get into it and i felt it wasn't all jumpscare like many horror movies do today. I love horror movies that build it up and takes it time.
Talk to me.. Omg what a great flix. I think I have to watch it again. I'm looking forward to see what comes next from the director.
Oh and Antichrist. Wow, that movie was such a mixed bag for me. I really liked it until the ending, but I won't go into spoiler territory. It's definitely one of the more fucked up movies I've seen, but I wouldn't say it's really that bad.
By the way, if you're into Lars Von Trier then The House that Jack built is pretty good as well. And if you're interested in something that is not horror related Melancholia is a great movie, but it might be a hard watch if you're not to patient. The reason I love it is because it truly shows how depression can be.
At this point there is no point in beliving in Putin when he talks about red lines. Apparently he would Nuke the shit out of Ukraine if they entered Russian territory but this has not happened after Kursk..
I'm intrigued!
It's so fucked up. There are so many fucked up humans around. How can it be that someone think this is OK??
The US have nevet really cared about the Palestinians in my eyes. If they did they would have stopped the funding of Israel.
Haha. I got a laptop as a backup in case seomthing happens to my main pc and it runs Mint. It has saved me numerous times.

‘The Coffee Table’ – Listen to Stephen King and Watch One of the Year’s Most Shocking Horror Movies
(bloody-disgusting.com)
Handling The Undead is a norwegian horror movie based on a swedish book by the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist (Let the Right One In). It's a very unusual zombie movie as it focuses very much on the grief and pain the families of dead ones goes through and then they struggle even more once their loved ones comes back to life. I think it was a great slow burner, I love those types of horror movies that take their time. But I have to say it would have been better if they speeded up the beginning a bit.
It's out on rent right now and will most likely come on streaming later. I watched it on Apple TV+, it was like $12 there. I can recommend it, just note that it is slow and it's not the usual zombie flix.
I'm norwegian and very rarely watch norwegian movies because I find them extremely boring. This on the other hand was interesting, mostly because of Renate Reinsve. She recently played the leading role in The Worst Person in the World, a movie I would highly recommend if you're into drama movies. She is really one of our best actors at this point in time.
Trigger warning: It contains scenes of suicide attempts and a dead child coming back to life. There is also a few violent scenes but it wasn't to bad in this part. There were no blood that I can remember which I found odd.

Many good points here! I personally think The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) are pretty good remakes myself. I cannot say I've gone this deep into it like you have in your thought prosses, but I think they add some elements that makes it work. The story in these movies are maybe not worked on so much but they did a decent job at making these movies "modern" if you will.
I now see that I'm contradicting myself by what I wrote in my OP but my view is maybe a bit more nuanced than what I wrote there.
