Vote on what I should watch and react to next! This Poll will end most likely Wednesday and I'll choose the TOP 2 to react to next week on Wednesday and Friday!

No worries, I plan on actually prolonging these recommendations so don't trip if you don't see your selection on here first! :)

I hope one day to see 1981 Possession! I would love to hear your commentary on that one.

James vs Cinema

Also, thank you everyone for introducing me to Cronenberg. THAT DUDE IS AWESOME. I'm obsessed with his work. Another awesome shoutout to the movie "Cure"...that film has me still churning things over. I was getting an extra dosage while editing that. I seriously appreciate the films (of all kinds) that are watched here because of your recommendations. Thank you!

Trevor

Double Cronenberg week! Scanners is not as good as Naked Lunch, but I will accept all

Edward Sighamony

Glad you hit Cronenberg and Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Kurosawa's early film Sweet Home was one of the inspirations for Resident Evil. I really love old school Japanese horror and I think you'll appreciate them, too. I would recommend Kwaidan, Onibaba, Kuroneko and Jigoku (which didn't win one of your polls).

Sonia Deepak

Come on A Girl Walks Home At Night!

Christiaan Van den Akker

Scanners is the last movie Cronenberg directed before he started working with top-tier actors as his leads, but it is iconic and well worth the watch. (Michael Ironside does a good job chewing up some scenery as the antagonist, though.)

Kaitlin

Oh shoot!! That would be a good one!

Kaitlin

A Girl Walks Home! Let’s go!!

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar

A film I kept thinking about when watching Cure for the first time last week was Exorcist III. It has a very different tone than Cure, but there are a lot parallels.

Was hoping Day of the Dead would still be on the list but these are all still great options

Geoff Lea

There are at least six movies here better than Friday the 13th

Tetley

Dead Ringers is worth checking out. Cronenberg directing Jeremy Irons playing twin brothers.

Tetley

Seven by my count. It's the trope of all tropes and definitely doesn't bear too much deconstructing. But can't deny it created its own legacy!

Michael Proch

Yeah it is kind of surprising it’s getting this many votes

Michael Proch

If you ever get the chance to watch Cure in a theater I can’t recommend it enough! The sound design becomes like psychological warfare

Michael Proch

I like to think I’m a pretty tough person to shake when it comes to horror, but even I was getting too unnerved by Possession. It’s one of my favorites now!

Brett Coster

My 2 votes are: 1. A Girl Walks Home At Night 2. Scanners I'd really like to see some reeeaaallly old horror films on your list: The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920), Nosferatu (1922), Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde (the 1920 version with John Barrymore), Frankenstein (1931), the two versions of Dracula from 1931 (one in English, shot during the day, the other in Spanish, shot during the night on the same sets) etc so you can see where some of the horror tropes started

Michael Proch

I second "Possession" being added to this list!

ActionBastard

Chimin in with Emesis Blue again lol
