What about “Wake in Fright”? Maybe a non horror horror movie.

[@AshXXMayftw]

What disturbs me about the monster from this movie is how it makes its victims suffer. Its tentacles don't just eat you, but they keep you alive while draining and digesting you. So you feel everything while its happening. It doesn't give you the sweet release of death the moment your in its body, it makes you suffer through great pain before you eventually die from either the pain or digestion.

[@Qadupae]

If it's any consolation, you'd actually die of suffocation relatively fast before ever feeling the full effects of digestion. That used to give me nightmares for the longest time before I found out the real details XD

One of my favorite little character moments from any film is when Finnegan and Trillian get a couple seconds to catch their breath, and the escape boat gets brought up. She essentially tells him “You get me to your boat, and you can have whatever you want,” and he just responds “Can you get me a cold beer?” And there’s a moment of relief between both of them, because he’s both a great guy and probably figures that she has to put up with that attitude from others all the time.

This and Deep Blue Sea is what all syfy movies want to be. A fun, Friday night movie you'd watch with friends that ends up being a movie that stands on its own.

[@ChrisPeteG]

I always through Pitch Black in the same realm...before it became a Vin Diesel sci-fi/action franchise...the first film stands as an excellent one-off sci-fi horror that needed no sequel. Deep Rising, Deep Blue Sea, and Pitch Black are old fashioned sci-fi horror "creature feature" movies. The only film in very recent years that SORT of felt like they were going for similar vibes is maybe something like Underwater. It isn't as good and 'pure' as some of these late 90s/early 00s films....but recently it felt like the one movie aiming in that direction.

[@Celiners-kr8lb]

I second Deep Blue Sea and I'd add Anaconda as well

[@simondaniel4028]

I always liked Deep Blue Sea. I caught it theaters, though I missed Deep Rising as I was probably not theater-going age. Absolutely adore Deep Rising, however, and every thing about it. Saw Pitch Black on the big screen, too. Good stuff. Those sequels are off the rails and over the sharks.

Yeah, mostly this. He's just nondescript enough to blend in with a mess of different contemporary actors. Ironically, the example of Bill Paxton is very on point, because while you're not likely to mistake Williams for Paxton (from the 80s or 90s), but, you could be forgiven for seeing Williams and thinking you'd seen him in film that actually had Paxton.

It's just a fun monster movie, that's all it needs to be. Treat Williams was born to play Finnagan, likeable guy with funny quotes. We also got Sagat, Kano & Jean Grey. The look of the monster is pretty good, definitely inspired by Lovecraft and yeah the CGI doesn't hold up in few scenes but it's a fast-paced movie with likeable characters, some fun moments towards the end and legendary quotes like "Chick with the muscles". Stephen Sommers knows how to make a popcorn movie like the Mummy, so enjoy the ride while Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack is playing throughout the movie. Just have fun, don't take it too seriously. Plus during Billy's last memorable scene, I always thought Jason Flemyng's character said, "Good God it's me".

[@ianlorenc]

“Who is Treat Williams?” You’re in luck, Ryan. I’m going to tell you how to make your very own Treat Williams, at home. You’ll need your typical DNA extractor/compiler and E-Z Bake foetus oven, of course. Start with a base of Nathan Fillion and gently fold in two cups of Alan Tudyk. Then lightly sprinkle in some Bruce Campbell and whisk until fluffy and sardonic. It’s okay to add a little more Nathan Fillion, if you feel the mixture would be too easily fazed by something shocking. Then, if desired, season with a little ‘80s Kurt Russell and put in the oven for 9 months. Once removed from the oven, begin raising immediately on exclusive diet of under appreciated mixed-tone horror movies. Et voila, your very own Treat Williams.

You nailed it when you called it comfort food.

It's almost effortlessly entertaining and fun and (by comparison to other films of its type) nobody's seen it. It just looks so generic that its easy to pass by on a video store shelf. The other one (for almost exactly the same reason) was the historical film 'The Ghost and the Darkness' with Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer. Fun, entertaining, largely lightweight, but impactful when it needs to be, and lots of people who'd love the hell out of it haven't seen it.

Smaller ship finds bigger ship. Characters go onto bigger ship and find it (seemingly) deserted. Smaller ship gets disabled, stranding the characters on the bigger ship. Crazy monster(s) start picking the characters off one by one. One of the characters betrays the rest. Surviving character(s) face off against Big Boss, end up causing massive property damage and barely escape. Movie ends with some kind of stinger/jump scare. I just described the story structure of four movies (Dead Rising, Virus, Event Horizon, Ghost Ship) and two video games (Cold Fear and Dead Space).

The Haunting of Hill House is not a movie but it is something I keep coming back to as a 'feel good horror'. Creepy, spine-tingling, and mysterious, the House is shown to be something like a force of nature, a spiritual whirlpool that is so difficult to escape. And yet the characters at the end reunite as a family, having come to terms with the mental scars from losing a mother, a father, a sister, and very nearly a brother as well. The House's power is never explained but it doesn't have to; the family ensures that the House will starve and never claim another victim, neutralizing it effectively.

It's jaws don't crush your skull or snap you in half. Instead, you keep living for some amount of time as it slowly dissolves you. Like when that dude fell out of the tentacle and he was half digested and in agonizing pain... but he was still alive and conscious enough to feel it. Trapped in oppressive darkness, immobile, body constantly being almost crushed, an unbearable stench, and feeling every inch of your body being slowly melted off your body.

Hoyever, I like your video even before it loads.

Omg I wish you said "If you love The Mummy, then you will love this" at the beginning of the video. I would've immediately hopped off to watch this movie to avoid any spoilers. Oh well, I'm watching it now. I LOVE the 1999 Mummy so I'm excited for Deep Rising!

Treat Williams is pretty much the guy who is in everything and everyone loves him.

I was in Ireland this week when I had heard that Treat Williams passed away and I immediately thought of your video. I hope you got to have another rewatch in his honor. I plan to as soon as I get home.

Predator has always been one of my favorite movies that balances genuine terror and danger with ridiculously fun action scenes and likeable characters. For a non horror movie with a similar tone, Die Hard is a great blend of taut suspense that’s not forced and moments of levity along with 80s action that accounts for all the escapism you could need

I remember this movie so much being on comedy central at like 1am when I was 11 so I'm delighted you covered it!

I just watched this movie after hearing the opening of this video, and I'm glad I did, but it didn't do much for me personally. Kevin O'Connor was my favorite part hands down, and he made the film for me. Everything indeed came up Joey, and boy was I shocked and thrilled. I've got to disagree with on you on the lead guy, though; he left me very cold. He kind of resembles a number of other actors, and I kept wishing he was played by any one of them instead. (Spoilers?) Honestly though the whole film is a must watch just for the part where the lead mercenary realizes he wasted his ammo being a jerk to Joey. That was downright euphoric. Like wow. Thanks for covering this. It was a fun watch, regardless of my gripes. (It's also cool seeing the similarities between this and The Mummy--which is one of my 'feel good' horrors alongside The Thing, Thirteen Ghosts, Sleepy Hollow, Cube, and a few others.)

In my generation, Treat Williams was mostly known and loved for his role as George Berger in the 1979 (Oh, my goodness) movie version of the musical "Hair". Kind of iconic then! Watch it!

[@Josehorror86]

Whats up Ryan!? Thanks for another awesome video. Giving it a watch now.. I remember going with my cousin watching it at the movies and enjoying it

[@stillhammered3060]

One of my favorite movies of all time. Back in the day I had Monday's boff from work Soni saw this in a completely empty theater. My own VIP showing, lol. Good memories those.

[@panzertorte]

As a near life-long massive fan of The Mummy and Van Helsing, I can't believe I missed this! Just paused your review halfway through, watched it for the first time, and then continued your review.... all I can say is, thank you so much for introducing it to me!

[@jonahsbonah6244]

my favorite feel good horror is probably night of the creeps!! it's got enough character drama and harrowing scares that the humor doesn't feel like the main feature, unlike other horror comedies where i have to be in the right mood to watch them.
