[@areladurell3333]

I know Letterboxd recaps aren't everyone's favorite kind of video but I LOVE THEM! So thank you for sharing these! I am also loving that you discovered Christine. Possibly the most upsetting film I've ever seen. It was so good, but I could never rewatch it - ever. My favorite film I watched in May was Oxygene! I loved it!

[@GoreyBits]

The first STRANGERS movie was like a punch to the gut. PREY AT NIGHT was more of a fun throwback, which I enjoyed very much.

[@gamersunite5745]

I think that both are good. Prey At Night was better, but I found both enjoyable.

[@cuppachar201]

The strangers original scared me so much, especially the part where the dude just silently appears in the background while the woman is in the house... But maybe that's because I've been in the house during a break in myself 😂

[@anthonymachado4595]

So excited to get into these movies!! Also: I would love love love a Conjuring universe ranking video being that the new one just came out🤩🙌🏼 love your channel!!

[@PossessedbyHorror]

yes I plan on it!!

[@cuppachar201]

Yes please!!

[@MsBluheart]

Seems everyone was disappointed by The Woman In the Window. After hearing from you and Spooky Astronauts, I've decided to read the book instead,. Loved both Christine and Things Heard and Seen.

[@Kyraann.]

I love these series 🤍 have you been watching “cruel summer?” If so maybe you can do a “recent watch show edition.” I find that there’s so many good shows out now more than movies.

[@asunnynight9592]

I thought Amanda Seyfried was very, very good in that role.

[@jinxthesweet]

Then say the same for Lindsay Lohan

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I wanted to say I am so happy you are focusing more on your horror channel! I am also happy to hear you are writing. I hope to see some writing vlogs/updates along the way 🙌

[@HarmlessEmo]

If you haven’t seen Vivarium, I would really recommend it! It has quickly become a favorite of mine!

[@krysandryman]

That movie makes you feel so fucked up in the head lol. In a good way. I loved it!

[@BowtiesFireflies]

I wish you luck with those books you mentioned! I’d love to read your writing, you’re very well spoken and you have lots of interesting ideas. :) love your content!

[@Brian-lf4zg]

can’t wait to read your books!

[@bengrimm_up_all_night]

Edgar Wright is doing a remake of The Running Man so it’ll be interesting to see if you like that more. It’s supposed to be more like the book

[@euthanizemyself6972]

Omg the Uzumaki book on your shelf always makes me smile; looove that book. Tomie’s my fav tho lol

Have you seen Sharp Objects? Hbo show.. extremely good

I’m so excited for all the new content coming!! 😁

[@hayley_g]

it'd be cool to see you do a horror/thriller book collection if you have any favorites? just a thought!

[@orenji196]

Loled at watching the Revenant to remind yourself your pain is nothing compared to being Leo getting mauled by a bear 🤣🤣

[@PossessedbyHorror]

it really did help 🤣

[@OBCDeeznutz]

It took me actual days to figure out if I liked Woman in the Window or not. I kept seeing people online say the book was 1000x better so now I need to read it. Like you said, cast was great, but I can't say I liked the movie ending.

[@AlexisCassandraArt]

I’m so excited to see more vids and focus on this channel! It’s always been my favorite channel because I’m so passionate about horror as well. As far as ideas, I actually already love everything you do but maybe more individual movie reviews mixed in (I know you started with those but it would be fun to see you give your current takes on them, or for the more complicated plots, your thoughts on themes as you articule very well) or maybe even a few watch along with me type videos? Not sure if those are doable but it would be fun to see you react to specific scenes in movies ah! Honestly I’ll watch anything you post here though lol. Such a fun channel and brings me happiness even in dark times!

[@111markus]

Watched your video, went straight to Netflix and finished "Oxygen". I really loved it in a weird way, usually not a big fan of Netflix mind-benders. "The Discovery" next!

[@dhruvildesai6911]

Since the conjuring the devil made me do it came out recently a tier list video ranking the conjurverse movies would be GREAT

[@KTMJosee]

Omg I literally just watched a space drama called “VOYAGERS” and it was amazing 🤩 you should definitely give it a try

[@jurassicphan]

I’m so excited that you’re going to be focusing on this channel, I always look forward to your videos on here! I find it so interesting to see your Letterboxd reviews on what you’ve been watching because it gives me loads of inspiration for films to add to my watch list! The Discovery and Oxygen are definitely going straight on my list ☺️

[@AileenShmaileen]

Agree!! Oxygen and the Discovery were to top two movies I am the most curious about now thanks to her video! 😍

[@Kasenator-_-]

I have a film That I would LOVE to see you review! Its called Willy's Wonderland and it is about a chuck e cheese type place with some robot mascots and the robot mascots come to life to kill people and by people dumb teens and NIC CAGE. Its a B horror film and there is some cheesy acting and stupid characters but its a fun watch. And be honest on your opinion on the movie cause if you hate it i want to her why you hate it if you like it i want to why you like it! But yeah i think you should give it a watch!

I was just watching an old video from last year and you mentioned you we're going to start a series on toxic horror movie sets and I can't seem to find videos relating to that on your channel so I am not sure if it ended up being a series. If not I would love to see that and if so can someone please direct me to the videos :))) Thank you!

[@crocen11]

If you take away the era and it doesn't matter, it probably doesn't belong. DANG that's a good writing tip.

Oh my gosh! If you haven't seen 'Incident in a Ghostland', I highly recommend it! It's really good and very twisty. It's on SHUDDER and it's really good!

[@PixieLovesItAll]

As someone who loves slashers and homages to classic slashers, I was obSESSED with Prey at Night. The pool scene and the "final girl" scene have some of my favourite editing and horror choreo for the whole 2010s. I think it's proof that horror doesn't have to be a gorey Ari Astor style "perfect mindfck" (which has come into fashion at the end of the decade and the beginning of the 2020s) to be a valid and enjoyable part of the genre.

[@onelastscare_]

Hi Sarah! ❤❤❤ SO GLAD you're going to be focusing on this horror channel!!! I absolutely love it and you! 👻

[@raywalton1291]

I have watched several kind of under the radar horror films from the 70s the past several weeks, which includes "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" (1971), "Messiah of Evil (1973), both of which I thought were okay, but not really my thing. Then I watched "Burnt Offerings" (1976), Alice, Sweet Alice" (1976), and "The Sentinel" (1977), of of which I really liked. The film I watched most recently was "Tourist Trap" (1979), which I loved, and it now might be one of my favorite horror movies.

[@blancaherreroespana5035]

Oh, The Discovery! I found it by chance and absolutely loved it, so happy to see someone else review it and like it. It was definitely surprising in the best kind of way. Putting Stowaway on my list!

[@ianharrison5632]

If you like Alexandre Aja’s work, check out High Tension! It’s his first film I believe, and it’s one of his best, go in AS BLIND AS POSSIBLE, and enjoy :) its graphic but very good!

[@alexsmiiles]

Hearing you talk about The Discovery kind of reminds me of what I loved so much about The Leftovers. It’s a mystery tv show that follows the lives of residents of a small town a few years after many people vanished in a global rapture-like event and I always felt like the plot/writing seemed so accurate to the types of things that would happen if something like that actually went down. It’s really interesting to see a reimagining of the modern world following a specific global life/perspective altering event.

[@garethallen4191]

I know I've recommended stuff to you before, Sarah, and I apologize if I'm repeating myself. I really liked The Vast of Night, available on Prime Video, and Fire in the Sky has been re-released on DVD. If you haven't seen it, I think you can rent it on Amazon. I watched Dark Encounter on Prime as well, and bought it straightaway, it's that good. Cheers!

[@ItsObivonneKenobi]

Please watch The Orphanage.

[@danielflynn8530]

I have watched quite a bit of movies and one really great Tv series on Netflix. I go back to a few of my favorites from time to time ( The Big Lebowski) i'll list a few movies i've watched and rate them. Stand By Me 10/10. It's a classic and I watched it at a young age but wouldn't recommend it to this new generation of kids lol. Dragonheart Vengeance 3/10. C'mon nothing beats the O.G. plus David Thewlis is one of my favorite actors. Home dreamworks movie 8/10. I love the way Oh talks throughout the movie. I liked this more than the minions movie or even the secret life of pets. The Ritual 7/10 the creature in this movie is worth the watch but otherwise it was ok. I Care A Lot 7/10 its a very entertaining movie but I did not like the main character played by Rosamund Pike. I was kinda hoping she would die. Space Sweepers 8/10. Wow I think the work on this movie was impressive. I enjoyed this movie from start to finish. Moon 9/10. Sam Rockwell was so great in this movie. I really felt bad for a clone. Mute 8/10 this was a great movie on Netflix but my favorite part is seeing our buddy Sam Hill from the movie I mentioned Moon in a courtroom arguing with himself. I never knew Paul Rudd had it in him to play a bad guy. This movie is impressive. Last i'm going to give a shout out to the series Sweet Tooth 9/10. I feel the end of the series did drag but the cinematography is just gorgeous.

[@kambontrager4108]

Since you love dystopian and sci-fy, I REALLY think you’d love a few of the Love, Death, and Robots episodes on Netflix. It would be so cool to have you rank or create a tier list for the episodes.

[@jinkiesjess155]

This movie wasn't mentioned in the video but I feel like I owe Sarah a personal apology. lol See, I thought I had seen The Ring. And so for ages when you (Sarah, if you're reading this) would mention it being your favorite movie, I was like "Really?? lol ok". And a couple of months ago I saw that The Ring was free on youtube (with ads) and I decided to revisit it because I had nothing better to do. Turns out, I had NOT seen The Ring. I must've been jumbling up memories of other movies. Anyway. Now The Ring is easily in my top 10 favorite horror movies. lol

[@WontSheDoIt]

I have recommended a couple of Spanish language sci fi dramas to a ton of people, Orbiter 9 and The Last Days (both on Netflix I think). I would love your thoughts on Forest of Love (based on true crime in Japan) and this crazy story. The true story is worst in some ways. Love these reviews btw!

[@actfray]

If you've never seen "Predestination" (2014) with Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook, I highly recommend it. A great mindfuck! And of course, the ultimate space film - "2001: A Space Odyssey." But it needs to be seen on the largest screen possible and on Blu-Ray!

[@fiffihoneyblossom5891]

You could definitely have an oldies series. You have said that you haven't watched franchises like Freddie Kruger. Why not take on some oldies? Not just franchises, there's plenty......

[@chelizsantana]

Just like I mentioned on your other video that I am not a horror movie girl. I’ll watch them here and there but I need to have a blanket covering me with a pillow to protect me and my hubby next to me 🐣🐥🐔 😆 but I did say I want to support your happiness and actually watch your content here. 🤍 🖤 TFS and I love Harry Potter!!

[@alexandrabroadbere8253]

I feel the same way about Anna Kendrick.

[@vickytime3855]

Same! I thought it was just me.

[@Xzana13]

Ended up watching The Discovery and High Life from this list (Def planning on checking out a few others) - I agree that High Life came off as a little pretentious and sometimes silly (some parts just made me laugh), but I guess I can kind of get where they were going with it. It was okay, not sure if I'd watch again. The Discovery was unexpected and I enjoyed it quite a lot more than I thought I might. The little twist inside of a twist was kind of fun and unexpected? I appreciated that. Thank you for these recs!

[@bridgetuphoff5225]

I just subscribed to both your channels a few weeks ago. But I must say I'm happy this channel will stay. Any good post apocalyptic/horror recs that aren't as mainstream as the usual like 28 days later, Legend etc....?

[@cryptohodler824]

Spiral was decent, but for me ending makes it less good, it was obvious, and the way main character leaves in the end is little comical, also scene with Samuel L Jackson in the end is a bit comical, i think this film has tone problem, but i do like Chris Rock, and would like to see him in more of this kind of movies, or different movies, i think he did a good character, funny, but also had depth, he is on pair with Donny Wahlberg maybe little better. And yea, Running Man is classic, amazing classic, its just Arnold movie, no matter book , nothing, Arnold breaks 2017 nazi version of USA, what more can a person ask from a movie. Running Man 10 out of 10

[@pablorivadero5306]

Is not tecnically a space drama. It's more into the horror but you should watch Dead Space:Downfall. I love your channel ❤️❤️❤️

[@miss_306]

This isn't a movie but watch The Expanse! It's on Amazon Prime and I thought of it when you mentioned you like realistic sci fi dramas. This is one of the most scientifically accurate and well thought out sci fi shows/movies out there and the attention to detail will astounded you. The storyline is amazing, quite complex though, so you might wanna give it a rewatch to fully understand it. Okay ramble over, watch the expanse!!!

[@kaisak6657]

Would you consider making a podcast? 🤗 you could talk about a certain movie or type of movie in a longer format. Just an idea 😁 obviously no pressure, I understand you are busy with KZbin and writing

[@justinfelt748]

My favorite horror movie is "Razorback." It's about a man in Australia who killed his boy by an unknown creature at night. But there's only one man that can stop it, a New York man will travel to a small Australia town called Gamula and discover the unknown force that can't be stopped. So, watch the movie trailer and enjoy.😊💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍

[@Videos3422]

For space movies, I would recommend Aniara. I didn't like High Life at all either and this movie is sort of similar but I thought it was way better and more effective. Just a warning that it does have strong sexual scenes also but they felt more justified than the ones in High Life.

In the Earth was such a love/hate one for me. It was gorgeous, and the horror was great. But I agree with the disjointed feeling. Without spoiling it-when the first reveal was made I thought it almost felt like a joke. However, I did think that a fair amount of the acting/responses from the two leads was pretty realistic!

[@cierranicole9951]

Honestly glad to hear that you were fine with the twist in Spiral. Everyones mad that it was predictable but just because a twist is predictable doesnt mean its bad. Not every twist has to be mind blowing. I liked the twist. I honestly enjoyed Spiral a lot🙂 So now I feel like Im not alone😆😂

[@K.Angelina]

I’m coming on here cause I need help. My sister keeps trying to force me into/pressure me into watching a horror movie and I hate it. I keep telling her I don’t want to after being traumatized when I was little because I was forced to watch horror stuff. I don’t know what to do I don’t want to watch one and whenever she brings it up it makes me very uncomfortable. She won’t let up and won’t just accept that I don’t want to watch one. She literally gets mad at me about it and insists I won’t be scared. I’m 21 and I literally saw a little bit of the movie it and was paranoid for a week after thinking I saw penny wise everywhere, I don’t want to go through that again I literally couldn’t sleep in the dark until a couple months ago. But she just won’t accept it. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? I really need it. Any horror movie fans have any advice on how I can get her to leave me alone and just accept that I am not gonna watch one?
