Ju-On: The Grudge is the first movie that really terrified me as an adult. For me there was such an overwhelming feeling of dread in the entire movie that every scare hit me really hard. I was constantly on edge and then a ghost would pop up and it really freaked me out. I cannot even fully explain why, that movie just seems to be calculated specifically to freak me out.

I cannot even fully explain why it’s because the series director had the curse & the curse 2 to practice building up suspense. he really honed it

Kvlt! posted:the diner scene at the beggining of Mulholland Drive scared me pretty good, although I watched it long after release its probably the most recent example of a specific scene that really freaked me out. A bunch of horror MOVIES have scared me but its mostly religious horror, I think that'd be the most recently filmed individual scene that really freaked me out. Oh yeah, the diner scene is a great one, seriously feels like a nightmare.

The scenes in hell in Jigoku gave me a dread that basically nothing else in horror has, I felt awful for days (I loved it)

Basebf555 posted:drat Leguizamo is a pro This reminds me that I've actually seen John Leguizamo eating a pizza in person many times. He has a house a couple miles away so it's not strange to see him around and he likes the same place that I do where they do this caustically hot seafood pizza thing. He's just with his kids joking around and absolutely housing a 20" pie covered in chilis and calamari. This has been my John Leguizamo pizza story. I hope you enjoyed it.

I feel like I get really truly "got" by a horror about once a year, where it freaks me out so much that it interrupts my sleep for a couple of nights and I just feel vaguely ill. Nope's digestion scene, Skinamarink, and the finale to The Curse were the most recent ones. There's something really appealing about horror that unexpectedly goes too far and sort of violates your boundaries without your permission.

I’ve had that happen but I don’t find that fun as it does more negative harm then positive for me. Anxiety kinda hurts. Last thing that did that was Rampage and it just bothered me way too much. Same with the end of the final prayer boarderlands. I’ll never watch the rest of the movie lol

I feel like John Leguizamo should have been in more horrors. He's great at hamming it up and playing the Violator in Spawn should have been his launching point

Magic Hate Ball posted:There's something really appealing about horror that unexpectedly goes too far and sort of violates your boundaries without your permission. There's a quote from John Carpenter that always stuck with me from a doc called Nightmares in Red White and Blue. It's on Prime so I looked it up really quick. "Audiences don't want something too horrible. It's not entertaining for them. They want to be entertained, they want to have a good time. They don't mind some of the characters on the screen getting bumped off, even in terrible ways, but you can cross a line when the audience will turn against you. And if you're a filmmaker, you can sometimes use that to your benefit by teasing the audience. The audience will say "God, are they gonna show me something I don't wanna see? I'm getting nervous now, this director, I don't trust this director, he may show me something that's going to really disturb me." If you can ever find that little niche it's great, because the audience then provides most of the action for you in their heads" I think it summarizes pretty well the main way that horror films can get to me and what I'm feeling when they do. You need to make the audience think you're capable of anything, that they can't trust you to color within the usual lines.

Ari Aster is insanely predictable in Midsommar and Hereditary. Beau Is Afraid was a refreshing movie and was definitely random/surprising, but Hereditary and Midsommar are carbon copies.

I agree about Midsommar and that was probably why I thought it was underwhelming. Not Hereditary though, he really kept me on my toes with Hereditary, I didn't know where it was going from scene to scene and how far it would ultimately go. And it's not just about being random and surprising the audience, it's about teasing the audience with what you're capable of so that they don't know where your line is.

they are two moods and it changes day to day, but Beau is Afraid is easily now my most favorite of his. That's probably the hardest swing a modern director has ever took and I think that one is going to stand the test of time 50 years from now as being a real key piece for unlocking future artists brains in interesting ways. It really left an indelible mark on me and showed me Aster is capable of more than his contemporaries and is going to do extraordinary work in the future.

I mean if you boil Hereditary and Midsommar down to "these are horror movies starring people with familial trauma" maybe but I'm very curious how these are carbon copies in any other way.

MacheteZombie posted:I think these days I actually prefer midsommar over hereditary I love a bright vivid color palette so in terms of visuals Midsommar wins easily. I also think there's something about a movie with a feeling of simple inevitability to it that can make it very rewatchable compared to movies that are based more on twists or the experience of gradually figuring out what's going on. Solving the puzzle is fun the first time but doesn't necessarily hold up to repeat viewings. When it comes to Hereditary I wouldn't know if it holds up because there's no way I'm gonna watch that emotionally devastating Toni Collette performance again.

Midsommar is predictable on purpose and I absolutely love it for that, for how many times it straight up looks you in the eye and says "here is what us going to happen" As soon as it opened on that seasons picture I knew what Aster was up to and I was fully on board

there was a tapestry that laid out the entire movie too lol. I just mean, you never know how far he's going to go with it. You see people about to jump off a cliff and you're like...okay he can either be really disgusting and brutal, or he can be more reserved. And he does something that's in between which makes it way more effective and realistic.

I'm not big on Midsommar for a few reasons but it was bold of him to make a movie very obviously inspired by The Wicker Man (2005) Hereditary is so good. Well-acted, great tension, fantastic ending, and a deep dark distressing allegory tying it all together.

Hereditary had a really fun, almost literary structure with a lot of great dialogue, and the beheading scene and subsequent followup was just delightful. Midsommar felt much more like a sophomore effort.Basebf555 posted:There's a quote from John Carpenter that always stuck with me from a doc called Nightmares in Red White and Blue. It's on Prime so I looked it up really quick. I always think about how much heavy lifting is done in Jaws by that single brief shot of Alex Kitner turning into a tumbling fountain of gore. Because it's so vivid, unexpected, and sort of abstract, it forces you to fill in the gaps with your imagination, and spends the rest of the movie lodged in the front of your brain as a visceral example of what the shark can actually do. A sudden injection of suffering is a beautiful thing.

Midsommar was not a carbon copy of Hereditary but it was basically a carbon copy of The Wicker Man (except twice as long and half as good)
