I’ve said it before in the other thread and I’ll say it again here: I’ve only watched this movie once and I’ll never watch it again. It’s good, but very disturbing.

Also, the American remake is pure garbage. I fast-forwarded through at least half of it. Swill.

I'll might watch it again someday but it is definitely a tough watch. And agreed on the American remake. Horrible.

This is one of those movies that I was almost afraid to watch. As Scoresman said, you can't help but feel the utter horror of what's happening and just want it to end. Too often, I analyze movies with a full awareness that they are actors. Like when a dog dies in a movie, my wife gets really affected by it but I know a dog didn't actually die. It doesn't bother me. I will listen for the sound effects, pay attention to the lighting, judge how well the actors are doing. It's actually a flaw in me since it prevents me from enjoying movies as deeply as other people can. That's why a movie has never made me cry. But it's a rare movie that gets me so absorbed in what's happening that I can forget all that and just experience it. This is one of those movies. I'm not sure if a rewatch will do the same for me though. I don't think the experience will be the same.
 
Just looking at the youtube comments and this one states what I was saying;
Ive seen this movie about 7 8 times... I miss when I watched It for the first time!!! The BEST HORROR MOVIE OF ALL TIME...

I wouldn't go that far though as being the best.

I love Robert Eggers' movies. Few directors can create atmosphere like he can. Might not fit in with some peoples definition of horror and I wouldn't argue but it did for me. I always recommend this movie for people trying out a home theater sound system. That horn!
Just a unique movie and daring roles by both actors. Willem Dafoe is always great and I came away really impressed with Robert Pattinson.
 

#81 - It (1990)​

In 1960, seven pre-teen outcasts fight an evil demon who poses as a child-killing clown. Thirty years later, they reunite to stop the demon once and for all when it returns to their hometown.

He's made three I really enjoy, one still to be listed and The Northman. Big fan.

As for The Lighthouse, i love the way it was filmed. Creepy shadows with long takes were great. I could also understand someone not thinking it as horror.

I liked it a lot. Not sure I’d consider it horror but that dafoe monologue is amazing

“yer fond of me lobster” is one of my favorite quotes

I was hoping this would end up higher. To me, this is the pinnacle of extreme/torture horror.

It's a completely different watch from things like Hostel. The extreme isn't just there to shock for shock's sake, there is a bigger plot purpose behind it all.

But the biggest thing that sets this movie apart, IMO, is that unlike movies like Hostel where most of the main cast are douchebags, Martyrs humanizes people. You want their suffering to be over. That makes it so much more effective to me. It also makes the movie a very difficult watch. Yes, there is gore, but there's non-gory violence that is even more effective. You will wonder why this is all happening up until the movie's ending, at which point you will leave traumatized, but maybe a little hopeful or depressed depending on how you interpret it all.

Yea, rethinking my ranking..I’d probably put it at least in my top 30.

Wow didn't think this would get a ton of love but awesome showing. Really enjoyed this one despite there being no new ground broken, just executed very well. Love the tone throughout, very good horror film.

Susan Sarandon’s ex-husband plays a really good vampire in this one. Charismatic and charming, then turns evil and scary on a dime. The remake is an interesting take and I do like it, but it is no where near the same experience.
