If you don’t want to watch some of them but are still curious, Mista GG is an awesome creator who does reviews of disturbing movies in a lighthearted way that’s watchable but also doesn’t make it too light if that makes sense. From this list, he’s done The Sadness and Soft and Quiet, but he’s also done Nekromantik and Pink Flamingos for example. Really recommend his channel in general! ♥️

[@kikimorewarrior]

Another channel recommendation for disturbing movie reviews for those curious but not curious enough to watch the actual film ( I’m one of those ) is Couple of Creeps. They’re a small channel but they’re great and they review some of the deeper iceberg movies.

[@leeshaolivier9298]

Also, Spooky Rice. Very helpful to me.

I ADORE Mista GG. I have an intense, reckless curiosity I have to control and Mista GG’s channels have allowed me to feed my curiosity about movies I probably shouldn’t watch on my own.

Thanks for normalizing not having to watch every single horror movie to be a “true horror fan” ps your hair looks amazing 🖤

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Yeah nobody has to watch anything, as long as we're having fun with what we watch it's all that matters. Though personally I do really enjoy watching as many different films as I can, not to prove any childish horror fan validation thing. But just because I genuinely enjoy watching loads of stuff.

sorry you aren't a TRUE horror fan if you are too scared to watch certain movies "oh no racial language" smh

[@tristensingh7830]

@@MikeG82I get where you’re coming from, Horror is about testing the limits after all. But I mean, if you have certain traumas associated with specific situations (SA, suicide, etc) then I mean, why put yourself through that.

[@fisheyenomiko]

@@tristensingh7830 And here I thought watching horror movies was about having fun. If you enjoy testing your limits, then great (I do, too), but not everyone does, and no one is "not a 'true' horror fan" just because they want to watch movies they know they'll enjoy, and avoid movies there pretty sure they won't.

[@Sierraaa505]

@MikeG82 it’s not about being too scared. Not all horror sub-genre’s are for everyone. For example I find exorcism movies kinda boring and I never jumped on the Terrifier train 🤷🏻‍♀️. If something doesn’t interest you it’s ok not to watch it

[@venusadonis4116]

Having boundaries is SO important in media. A lot of people like to debate your authenticity as a horror fan if there are certain subjects you don't want to engage with and I think you putting this out there does so much good for the community.

[@QueenCloveroftheice]

It does not harm the horror community for individuals to have boundaries. I personally won’t watch pregnancy horror, but there’s thousands of people out there who will, so those movies will still be made. It’s not bad to have preferences lol

[@_SunscreenQueen_]

Yep. I don’t like classic slashers and get hate on all the time. I didn’t grow up watching horror so now, especially since saw was my first horror experience and now own and frequently watch the terrifier movies, i just get bored and the plot is so practical

[@ferox965]

I don't have boundaries when it comes to horror movies. If other people do, that's their business. I have certain friends I watch the crazy stuff with. Some I don't. There isn't a horror movie I won't watch and I've seen some of the craziest shit ever. But how it's presented is what makes the difference. I find movies like Schindler's List and especially Come and See (1985) far more disturbing.

[@madpoetsociety2917]

So much this. I had to leave the Horror fan subreddit because I was getting harassed and attacked so often just for saying that stuff like Hostel isn't really my bag and that I watch horror movies for fun (not the bragging rights that come with having sat though something I personally find gross). It's pretty sad to see that this is what the horror fan community has degenerated into. It used to be a fertile ground for filmmakers and audiences to enjoy and experiment with new filmmaking techniques, plot devices, or cinematography styles. Now it seems like it's been taken over by the same asshole fanboys that gatekeep too many other genres. Ugh. As you said, having boundaries and protecting your mental well-being is VERY important and applies to what media we consume as much as anything else we take in.

[@madpoetsociety2917]

@@ferox965 How nice for you. But having boundaries in the media we consume is actually healthy. It kind of says something though when it requires ever more increasingly graphic doses of gore to satisfy that urge. I'd venture to say that if things like Shindler's List are too disturbing for you, you might want to reasses your media consumption habits. Shindler's List is based on real events of tremendous consequence for all human beings and is far and away more critical viewing than Terrifier 3.

as an argentinian horror fan i’m super excited to see how well “when evil lurks” is doing!! here in argentina we have many talented film makers but horror has always been overlooked in some way or another, so it’s great to see how it grows! i myself haven’t watched the movie yet because of how disturbing it seems but was waiting for you to talk about it since i love your channel so much and it prides me to see an argentinian film make it internationally. great video as always, hope you’re doing well!

I can see both sides on When Evil Lurks. On one hand, I actually watched the movie and I thought it was very well made. It is an extremely graphic examination of how evil evil can be. Nothing is safe from it. On the other hand, since it is so brutal and uncompromising in its vision, I can easily understand why there are people who wouldn’t want to see it. It’s not a film for everyone.

[@eduardopereira2175]

Argentinians really love horror! That's why there are many old germans there

[@hobragen]

I’m from México and I absolutely loved the movie. I’m not that gory (not that I think this one is THAT gory), but it had me on the edge of my bed. The suspense, intrigue, the demonic part, the biohazard risk, and the family trauma allegory, it felt just so complete.

[@RavenReads]

I will never get over how much I appreciate you for legitimizing those of us who don't like extreme gore and all that as "still real horror fans". I've always been more of a paranormal/psychological horror person and never liked the gore-fests.

[@Sports5561]

I have to say...when evil lurks has set the bar really high for me from here on out. Not just with the gore and shocking scenes but with the atmosphere, the slow burns, not having jump scares every 5 seconds, you really feel helpless watching it. It is the best horror I've seen since the original exorcist when I was a teenager.

[@torillanos9837]

the fact that the horror starts right away (in every movie i see you have to watch at least 30 min to get SOMETHING) and everything has a meaning, it's really really good as a movie in general, not just horror. i'm argentinian and i'm very proud of this movie, also it represents us sooo well (i don't know how they manage to translate it lol) ❤

I don't particularily want Art to kill the kid but without sounding like a freak I personally will still be seeing the film regardless.

I also liked the Terrifier movies. The extremity of how gory they are feels so ridiculous and over the top to me that it makes it entertaining. Hardly remember the lore and storyline, though. I remember being confused about it by the end of Terrifier 2. I was just along for the ride. I get that it’s not for everyone and nobody *has* to watch them. Nobody has to watch anything they don’t want to. Also I’m loving your american mary pfp 😎

Horror fans having a moral compass on what is acceptable and what isn’t in horror movies is always a weird take. As long as actors aren’t being abused on set I don’t see the difference between any kind of kills in a movie. Like how is an animal death worse or better than a human dead, same with children. Everyone can have their limits but anyone being killed should be a bad thing unless it’s in self defense.

When Evil Lurks exists in a fantasy world with specific rules that everyone knows.

As a teacher and a parent, I can safely say that "Soft and Quiet" is really good because it is so real in terms of the radicalization of "normal" people that it portrays. Don't let the warnings keep you from watching it, it's more akin to something like "Falling Down".

I accidentally watched a clip of an indie movie (can't remember the title) where a woman was SA-ed and then shot in the head (twice!) and I felt so nauseous that I turned it off immediately.

But I do love psychological horror/thrillers and folk horror.

[@stephanieshogren6982]

Ugh LOVE to see a woman in the horror world stating what she will and will not watch without shame. It wasn't too long ago we couldn't do that because we were the token woman in a man's world and we had to prove we were serious/hardcore/whatever enough to get even a crumb of respect. There are so many things in horror that are just too horrifying if you've ever experienced it in any capacity. Most straight cis-men (though certainly some) have not had to grapple with the horrors of SA and motherhood in the way many AFAB people have. Of course they can tolerate something they're removed from. Anyway, thank you for making this content with confidence.

[@fallenhero3130]

I don’t mean to criticize but I find it very fascinating that people enjoy slashers that don’t actually show anything but are bothered by slashers that include actual slashing lol. Maybe the difference is that your brain doesn’t automatically fill in the visual of what the scene must logically include, so for you there’s just…a mental void where the gore hypothetically would be? For me, that would be like watching a nature documentary on birds that never actually shows any birds on screen. If you’re gonna make a slasher, slash!

[@GlynDwr-d4h]

While there's some pretty gory and extreme scenes in When Evil Lurks, there's more to that movie than just shock value. It's pretty imaginative and has some cool ideas in it. The Nightingale was just depressing more than it was disturbing. I feel like you can skip Titane. You're not missing anything. The Sadness, by contrast, is awesome. It's basically like if you took 28 Days Later and mated it with David Cronenberg's Shivers -- it's great, but you should probably skip it because my guess is that you would have a hard time with it if you're bothered by sexual assault or sexual violence in movies. The House That Jack Built is worth seeing because it invites interpretation. Its appeal is more intellectual than visceral or just entertainment oriented. I feel like it only becomes a disturbing movie when you start engaging with the ideas behind it. Soft and Quiet was embarrassingly stupid. Far from disturbing, there were points in that movie where I literally laughed out loud. It's what I like to call "social justice kitsch." It's what happens when poorly informed people try to make movies with political messages but don't actually understand the topic that well. It kept making me think of that old exploitation film I Hate Your Guts, only way less charming and entertaining.

[@uhuhuh1966]

How did you feel about the child murder in Dr. sleep? That one really disturbed me in the theater

[@pamelaclaytor9626]

This was a scene my husband and I were really affected by. We normally don't have issues with disturbing scenes but this one hit us.

[@rachelw5040]

Yes, same! I was shocked that they went that far, and although the scenario was unlikely (demons feeding off pain) it made me think of all the kids out there who are abused by parents/carers and it was just not enjoyable to watch.

[@merlinho0t]

The Terrifier franchise is definitely extremely violent but it’s done in a way that is almost comical at times. It’s so over the top that it doesn’t bother me as much as other films. Art literally rips one of the victims arms in half with his bare hands like a hotdog lol. The practical effects are incredible in the movies though and that could also be a turn off because certain things do look very real since barely any CGI is used. Edit: I don’t think they will show the child being brutally murdered, she definitely could be killed but I am going to assume it would mainly be off screen or not at all.

[@aaq1655]

They showed 2 kids dying in all Hallows eve

Your synopsis of When Evil Lurks is pretty accurate!! I super get why it would not be for you but I did not realize that I was getting into a VERY good and VERY disturbing film with it and I was super impressed by it since I didn’t have any expectations. Super recommend if it sounds interesting to a neutral party and it sounds like something they can handle! Definitely disturbing though so be well aware!

[@zackp2093]

I guess what I don't understand the following...why do you have a horror channel if you cut yourself off from viewing so much in the horror genre? It's a genre that is constantly pushing the boundaries of good taste and violating people's comfort zones. It's part of the genre's appeal. I watch a ton of other horror channels, and none of them seem to limit themselves on what horror they view, or at least they don't make a big deal about it publicly.

[@PossessedbyHorror]

because boundaries are cool even if it’s my job. also it’s like 30 movies I think there’s lots of other movies to watch 🤷‍♀️

[@howdyitsren]

I like these videos. I feel that women and those perceived as women especially have to deal with their interests being invalidated because of their boundaries. Also, normalize not having to justify boundaries! I hated Soft and Quiet. Technically fine, but it was just a display of horrific racism that we know happens in real life for the entire runtime.

[@mlonster]

There is nothing to worry about 'When Evil Lurks' I did not like it. It is really boring, shouty, messy and it looks like a stage play (very digital) also i did laugh out loud several times. Finishing it was a struggle because it just isn't good. Fast forward is your friend. Well, mine at least! :D

I think you can handle “disturbing“ scenes in When Evil Lurks because some of those scenes happened off-screen

[@roguemystique7]

Completely agree! The only part I think she'd not want to see is the part with the dog and the child. But it wasn't as bad as I initially thought it was going to be. It didn't go the route I had expected. & the movie was a great movie.

[@mariealayne7223]

The dog and child scene could be really hard on her being not even a year postpartum. My child is 3 and I still have trouble watching violence towards children in movies (which wasn’t as much of a problem before I had one).

[@kevinnromero]

There’s a few scenes and I feel in general the way kids are portrayed is a little heavier/darker than most movies even if it’s not kids getting harmed

[@anonymoushumanhi]

I’d definitely disagree. THAT scene would cross a boundary for Sarah I think, it wasn’t ok for me as someone who would love to be a mother. I don’t usually get triggered by that kind of content either, but I felt totally separate from myself when that scene happened.

Sarah, you mentioned Lars Von Trier... Have you ever seen "Dancer in the Dark"? It's not a horror movie, but it's directed by him. It stars Bjork (yes, the Icelandic singer) as a factory worker who's losing her eyesight, and her attempts to get money so her son can have an operation to prevent the same thing happening to him. It's really good, but pretty depressing.

You're so far the only person I've seen who has the same opinion on over-the-top-gory horror comedies, I'm so glad I'm not alone on disliking them (yet also loving Cabin in the Woods!) I think my "I will never watch this" series is the Terrifier films. I can't do torture or extreme gore or any of that. Same with any Saw (or Final Destination) film after the first one. When it starts to get... creatively gory, that's when I'm throwing in the towel

[@mercedesdrake9113]

What a stupid debate over not being a true horror fan unless you can watch every damn movie that’s ever released. Boundaries are good and you shouldn’t have to watch anything you don’t want to. Whether it’s truly f-ed up or just boring or stupid, the reason doesn’t matter, you are still a horror fan😁 Gotta say i watched ‘the house that jack built’ and for the most part i found it pretty boring i had to skip a lot, i don’t even remember much of the movie but there is a brutal scene that stuck with me and i dislike it very much…pretty f-ed up tbh. As for the comedy horror i did watch ‘totally killer’ and ‘freaky’ and i had fun especially with totally killer😁

[@thomasgeorge5856]

i just can't do any of the terrifier movies. i hate mean spirited horror movies that just have extreme gore for shock value. i don't mind extreme gore as long as it serves a purpose or is portrayed realistically like in a war movie. but the special effects in terrifier aren't even that great so 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@milesbeckett9422]

Horror has no boundaries……wow your third video on horror movies you will not watch. The thing about horror is that it’s shocking and wants to shock you and when it scares or shock….it’s doing the job I don’t really think that horror is for you TBH

[@nocterniaobscura]

Imo it's normal to have boundaries in general, for example you won't have sex with every single person that offers, you will avoid the 3rd piece of pie, you will not go over a certain speed with your car etc. That does not mean you do not like sex, pie or speed, it simply means you know when to stop in order to keep having a good time!

[@rafaelcruz9973]

I get why you don't want to watch Titane, but not only is it not that graphic, it's barely even a horror movie. It's just a really good sci-fi thriller/drama, one of my favorite movies of 2021

[@paulwoodford1984]

it’s tame AF. not enough graphic scene

[@Kylboile]

Yess I was confused by that too. Everyone has their limits but I would not consider Titane an extreme movie at all. If she's thinking it's anywhere as graphic as the director's other movie, Raw, it's not at all.

[@SaintKenard]

it's fake tho the child isn't actually being hurt why does it matter? art the clown is a sadistic fantasy unknown clown man who is evil and probably has little to no care or feelings about who he kills. lol im excited if he does go that far on a child oh well. it's fake horror is supposed to make you scared or creeped or uncomfortable. so if he does it he does his job

I was expecting Soft and Quiet to be really disturbing because of what people were saying on TikTok, but i found it so incredibly boring. It felt like a way too long, very dull black mirror episode. I kept waiting for something really disturbing to happen but like nothing happened. The plot is sad, terribly sad, but the plot is quite literally just: racism. Racism horror can be disturbing, and what happened in the movie was awful... but not "disturbing". Not for me at least. I won't watch it again, not because it was disturbing, because it was boring.

[@blinddog1212]

Started "Soft and Quiet" and promptly stopped it. A lot of other movies you mentioned are on my No Watchlist too. Thanks for doing videos on the important subject of boundaries in horror.

[@missebonie7169]

Me too lmfao like why was this movie even made. I’ve watched messed up movies but this one feels like a pointless watch

[@TonyBambino]

@@missebonie7169 The point was to show how hate and group think can go from "harmless" meetings, jokes, etc to escalation of full on violence. The one take style illustrates the growing tension perfectly. It's a depiction of people who are seemingly "normal" towns people... business owners, teachers, soccer moms, etc. That's what makes it even more disturbing because it's reality. The scene where the teacher casually brags to the group about sabotaging her black student... That's real racism hiding in plain site.

[@billyhines474]

Art the clown has without a doubt killed kids before. I mean let's look at his little clown girl homie in part 2, he definitely killed that little girl. I don't feel like anybody should be exempt from being a victim in a horror movie. Grandma can get it, the kids can get it, the dog can get it too. I mean that's part of what makes it horror. With that being said nothing in a horror movie could ever be as scary real life. By the way I'm a parent both of my kids are amazing and I wouldn't ever wish any harm on any children in real life. But fiction is fiction.

Just watched, When Evil Lurks, and it was really very good. There's some disturbing scenes, but they serve the film and are there to illustrate the idea that when Evil is in front of you, it does not care if you are man, woman, child, old or young. The scenes were done well, but it wasn't "over the top gore" like Terrifier (and i also love Terrifier). Very haunting, atmospheric film, with some well placed gore.

[@_SunscreenQueen_]

I love both terrifier snd when evil lurks and I agree. When evil lurks is shocking and, at times, gruesome but it is not extremely gory and disgusting. But maybe I’m just desensitized to gore given i didn’t even look away once during terrifier 2 haha! But I do agree horror can be very gâté keepy. Tbh I don’t like classic slashers. I find them boring, predictable, and just never got into them

@@_SunscreenQueen_ I grew up in the 80's, so i kinda love the genre. Check out "Just before Dawn," and "The Burning." Those are some decent slashers, though both films are quite different in their approach. I really loved the original Terrifier more than the sequel, because the sequel alluded to a back story involving the girl's Dad and some Sci Fi elements, that struck me as odd. I liked the idea of Art, in his raw form, just stalking the streets because he was some lunatic. I hope the story doesn't evolve into some, "I am your father...and i was murdered by a clown, who later possessed me...."

French movies have been pushing boundaries for yearssss ie martyrs, irréversible, and dans ma peau. If you want a truly scary movie but not too disturbing check out Terrified on shutter. Made by the director of when evil lurks but it’s more psychological and messes with your head Also, the disturbing label on the house that jack built is an iverreaction. It’s not gory (not more than the typical horror), and the actor portrays a psychopath so well it’s truly chilling. I expected it to be a lot worse but it was pretty tame

Art has already killed two children in All Hallows’ eve, they showed the children’s “trigger warning”! but decapitated bodies, but of course I understand if this is not the movie experience that everyone is able to experience, and that of course doesn’t mean just because you want to see it that you’re a weirdo or a bad person, we all have different comfort level when it comes to fiction. It would be weird if it were non fiction and you cared to watch it. Horror movies yes are to make you scared but not to twist you up for life, you should never feel super uncomfortable watching any kind of movie and not being able to stomach everything or force yourself to be comfortable, that doesn’t make you a fake horror fan, if you love horror the most “tame” horror then you are a fan.
