Why?

I am czech and Spalovač Mrtvol is not horrifying at all. High school took us to see it, when I was around 16/17 and I remember not being impressed much. A guy decides to kill his family because of the regime the state is in. Big whoop. Might be scary to foreignners, because of how some czechs looks. Rudolf Hrušínnský was quite a spooky face, yes.

OP here. I'm from Slovakia. The film doesn't have to be horrifying to be a horror. Spaľovač is very creepy and disturbing mostly because of the main character and performance. The direction and editing is amazing too and really shows someone's psychological downfall. I also included that horror comedies count. Spaľovač is quite funny in several places.

Oh baby
- Hereditary
- The Thing
- Under The Skin
- Hausu (Shut up)
- Let The Right One In

>Hereditary
This would be better without the horror element.

>Mother Joan of the Angels
More likely to make my bottom 5 of any genre

I was considering watching The Cremator yesterday after reading the summary on BFI player. Odd as it sounds coming across a random thread mentioning it has convinced me. Cheers user I'll try it tonight, hope it's as good as you say.

there's no universe in which The Cremator is a horror movie
the rest of your choices are fine
1. The Return of the Living Dead
2. Friday the 13th Part III
3. The Shining
4. Hausu
5. Cemetery Man

Why

Nice, enjoy.
It is dark horror comedy. You could say there is no universe in which Cemetery Man is a horror.

Cremator is a fucking political movie
CM is a zombie movie
there's no comparison
sorry man, Cremator isn't a horror movie, ever
Might as well say Mister Freedom and Suburbicon are horror

>political film
In what way?
CM is a dark comedy.

An agonoizing and pointless movie,i dont plan to watch it again. Why did you like it?

>The movie takes place against the backdrop of the political radicalization of Europe during the 1930s, more specifically the demise of the golden era of the First Czechoslovak Republic and the installation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia under Nazi Germany in 1939.

1. Jaws
2. Night of the Living Dead

>just because the film deals with politics, it is a political film
Lmao, even though the film has political subtext that's not the main focus of the film. You could replace Nazism with other things. Also political film really isn't a genre. It's a horror dark comedy.

Great cinematography, very well directed, quite creepy with interesting themes, better than The Devils from Russell.

I don't disagree. But I still love the whole package.

9/10
Nosferatu (1922)
Dracula (1992)
Exorcist (1973)

8/10
Alien (1979)
Repulsion (1965)
Them! (1954)
The VVitch (2015)
Lat den ratte komma in (2008)
The Addiction (1995)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Psycho (1960)
The Shining (1980)
Les Diaboliques (1955)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

so you haven't seen it
nice

>The Addiction
Why? Except for Walken it was kind of average. Probably my least favourite Ferrara i have seen.

Walken got me really good in this one.
But admittedly it's the weakest among those listed.

it's a political film above all else, don't be stupid
OH SORRY, I forgot you are JUST stupid
stupid

Alright what political statements does it make?

it's about an idiot doing what he's told
that's it
I didn't say it was an intelligent movie
but there's nothing to it besides "flunky perversely sacrifices actually valuable elements of his life in service of the empty promises of a political machine that promises values past the ability of a political establishment to promise"
I really don't care if you disagree with me or not, we're not engaged in a discussion here, it's simply me telling you that you're wrong and you being a bitch about it
I'm probably not responding to you again, I'm busy with other shit that isn't "No, the Teletubbies weren't telling us that sharing is fun"
you're so much worse than you think you are

You are actually braindead

yeah, powerful retort
thanks for proving me right

I don't think any horror film can meaningfully "scare" an adult, it's just a really fantastic film regardless of what genre you classify it as.

You said it is not a discussion and you won't reply further you dumb nigger.
That being said summing up the theme of the film, i can say that sure you got part of it quite right. Not sure what high intellectually charged cinema you are watching if that's not enough for you. You still have yet to describe what's political about the film. You described psychological drama/thriller not political film. Battle of Chile is a political film. This is not. You could replace Nazism with other things and the universal message and point of the films would be the same.

horror movies aren't "scary" that's not the topic being debated here
it's that Cremator isn't a horror movie, period
it's a political film
it's not about anything besides an individual being brainwashed by a political party, his occupation is essentially irrelevant, despite being thematically important to the movie
it's more The Conformist than it is The Exorcist, because it's about man's political allegiances, not about his metaspiritual weaknesses

I didn't read the debate, I was just replying to the guy who replied to my post at the beginning of the thread.

Nosferatu: Phantom Der Nacht (1979)
Cure (1997)
Don't Look Now (1973)
Ginger Snaps (2000)
Inferno (1980)

Honorable mentions:

Videodrome (1983)
Tetsuo 2: Body Hammer (1992)
The Beyond (1981)

it really feels like you're trying to prove me right
>WHY IS THIS FILM ABOUT NAZISM POLITICAL?
>IF YOU SAY BECAUSE ITS ABOUT NAZISM, IT COULD'VE BEEN ABOUT ANY ISM!
friend, I don't know how you could be less convincing
don't bother breathing any further
okay?

>horror can't be political
underagefags begone

1. The VVitch
2. The Babadook
3. It Follows
4. The Blackcoat's Daughter
5. Midsommer

idiot, there's a difference between a movie where the focus is on politics and one which is primarily a horror movie
Cremator is a political movie
I'm really (not really) shocked at how stupid the people I'm sharing this board with are
why don't you all have Seventh Seal as your favorite horror movie?

Psycho is a thriller. Not a horror.

1. Saw V
2. Saw VII : The final chapter
3. Saw VI
4. Saw
5. Saw IV

>okay?
You wrote
>"that's not the topic being debated here"
As if I were posting in response to that debate that broke out later down the thread.

oh roly

>it's not about anything besides an individual being brainwashed by a political party
Irrelevant too, you could replace the political party with many other things not concerning politics like religion and the film would be still valid.
>because it's about man's political allegiances, not about his metaspiritual weaknesses
Kek, you really didn't get it. It's not about his political allegiances at all. He is not interested in the politics of that side and if someone offered him a better position and would be from another party he would take it. From the beginning of the film you can see the struggle and the perverse nature of his character. He is a creep and tries to hide it behind the exterior of well furnished life. Once he has the oppurtunity for debauchery, his big dreams and complex of self importance to be fulfilled he goes along with anything. It's not for the side, it's for his perverse selfish needs.
The film is not about nazism though not sure why you keep parroting that shit. When the film released it was banned because it was seen as allegory to communism. Communism is not nazism last time i checked. It's about about a mam succumbing to his worst vices and fulfilling his perverse needs through any means necessary. I bet you think A Hidden Life is about nazism too. Stupid fucking cunt.

>the movie could be about something besides what it's about and it would still be a movie
great

He joins the political party like 1 hour into the fucking film, that's not primary focus on politics you dumb mongoloid.

u watch old movies ever or nah

I don't know how people decide to die on hills this stupid
>Cemetery Man is a dark comedy, but Cremator is a horror movie
there really isn't any point in humoring this level of stupidity

Fucking retard.

OOOOH, breaking out the big guns
sorry, shitbrain, you're just a stupid faggot, sorry
I knew that before you even replied to me

Yes you are so stupid it hurts. Both are actually the same genre. Dark comedy horror. One is a zombie film though.
>MUH NAZISM, MUH REDUCTIONISM

1. The Shining
2. 30 Days and Nights
3. Paranormal Activity
4. The Ring
5. The Omen
Am I based?

I mean you can't even reply to specific points instead of reduce everything to muh nazism. You are the one with severe brain damage.

holy shit, this is pathetic
fuckass, just because you keep saying you're right means nothing
I will never listen to you and neither will anyone else who isn't fucking retarded
I don't know how people become this worthless
goodbye Bernie Bros

That was b8, of course I watcher older films. I unironically love Babadook, though. My favorite horror films are probably the first two Evil Dead films.

I mean i'm right. You are clearly wrong and pretty retarded.
>goodbye Bernie Bros
What the fuck are you even about?

dawn of the dead original
shining alien

devil rides out
haloween 3

I've seen this "[x] isn't a horror movie, it's a [y] movie" thing hashed out on Yas Forums a million times before, and nobody ever brings anything new to the table.
It's clearly a reflection of a fundamental problem with the label 'horror film' which is a sort of catch-all that people throw all sorts of movies with wildly different/incomparable tones and intentions into. Psychological thrillers, slashers, comedies, particularly morbid crime dramas, films with 'horror' creatures like vampires, jumpscare films, halloween movies, surrealist films, etc. etc. will all frequently get subsumed under the term 'horror' by someone or other, which causes endless arguments over what a 'true' horror movie is. I mean fucking Dante's Inferno (1911) is classified as 'horror' on some sites.

oops, I'm right, you're wrong
funny, that
