Description is from the 2022 The Invitation. Should be the 2015 version.

To be fair the 2015 and 2022 The Invitations are completely different movies, but yeah, come up with a new title, people.

Was wondering about this too. The 2022 movie is a hot mess

This is one of those movies you can put on for "I don't like horror movies" people. There are almost no jump scares, no gore that I can recall, and no monsters or masked killers or anything like that. But it kicks off with the premise of "Huh, this is a weird dinner party - what's up with this?" and successfully builds tension from there. The reveal at the very end is extremely cool.

My wife hates horror movies and really liked this movie because she thought it was a drama/thriller. Then it became clear that it was horror, she tapped out. Made it through almost the entire movie.

This movie is as bizarre and creepy as it gets - love it. There's some uncut footage out there that I've been trying to find forever, but to no avail.

I didn't list either but somewhat surprised that the original ranked higher than the sequel, given the hype machine the sequel had for being so good on a small budget. IIRC, it was the lowest budget movie - horror or otherwise - to crack the weekly Top 10 at the box office in over a decade (COVID era notwithstanding).

The Don
I would love to see that footage as well. A pre-code classic that probably could not have been made in any other era. Would have made my Top 100

Holy **** you have some good times ahead of you.
There are definitely a bunch of titles/descriptions that have peaked my interest.

I probably should have listed this one. When I was a kid I had a phobia of being in a car that was broken down and I'm pretty sure it stemmed from watching this at way too young an age.
WVU Alum

This movie ****ed me up as a kid. ****ed me right up. I think it may be even more stressful now as a parent. However, having worked in a rabies control and prevention program during my career… those two would have been fine. There is no such thing as a “furious” stage, and Cujo would have been more likely to wander off than actually try to hurt anyone. Takes some of the bite out of the terror.
Bolded=same. But I watched it multiple times and slowly realized that I kinda like horror movies, pretty much where it all began for me.

When Homer explained to Bart the concept of dogs going to Hell, one of his first examples was Cujo. Another of course was Hitler's dog.

In general, that's true but I'd be amazed if her film outranks his on this list

Dee Wallace was another one of those patron saints of '80s horror films, when not housing E.T.

Watched my sister in law get bitten by the neighbors St. Bernard. Friggin awful memory, so this one hits home for me especially hard. Terrified of that breed of dog. Movie helped accentuate my fear even more. Probably should have rated it higher than I did.

I had the sequel one spot ahead of the original. The original was so unique to me that it ranks right up there with the second one, even though the sequel really kicks it up a notch. Art the Clown is the best slasher character to come out since Freddy, imo.

Another would be Karen Black.

Up until to Cujo they were big friendly drunks who shared their booze with stranded mountain climbers.

A great argument can be made for that…..I agree.
I only put one on my list and it was not part 2. But yes a strong strong entry into a very uneven series.

Same. It’s creepy and a one of a kind but the studio destroyed it. The ending is awful, I wish they were able to restore the proper ending. It desperately needs the directors cut but it seems like it simply doesn’t exist.

I should have listed this just for the jump scares with the dog. If I remember the last one got me good. Good movie.

Folks ... are you insane? This movie is not only scary it is an excellent movie. We are doing horror films, correct? What am I missing? The daughter staring at the nun is a great scene.

No way in hell are you saying the final scene is better than the original, which is probably a top 5 horror scene of all time.

Read this book many years ago and have been wanting to watch it since, but always seem to have trouble finding it when I'm in the mood.

I ranked the first one, but not sure why I didn't this one.. enjoyed them both
shuke
Black Ice Skeptic
I didn't watch this until maybe the late 90's. I love Carpenter but didn't love this one. I remember it seeming very cheesy, was the woman on the radio giving up to the minute updates on how close the fog was? Maybe I need to give it another watch.
shuke
Black Ice Skeptic
I think I forgot about this (the 2016 version). Should have been on my list.
shuke
Black Ice Skeptic
There is another movie that fits that description that I love and really wanted to include on my list, but in the end didn't because it probably really isn't horro.

Dude, watch some movies.
