Yeah the weird robot vampire 1%er acting combined with Don Delilo's prose just makes them feel like aliens in human suits trying to be human and I loved it. Not for everyone but it's absolutely one of my favorite Cronenberg films. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8O-UYgt9Xs They're like the people possessed by aliens in Tobe's Invaders From Mars just like, chugging coffee with tictacs and going HELLO WIFE, I BELIEVE IT IS OUR ROLE NOW TO HAVE DINNER.

Crimes of the Future rules because it has Kristen Stewart being, a phrase I always remember from a review of it at the time, "a sweaty little gremlin".

all of Cronenberg is worth a watch really but the most replayed in the Pogs house are The Fly and Eastern Promises, which has one of the least sexy but also most exhilarating nude scenea of all time

"Audience members vomited/fainted" is such a turn off for me, like it's the dumbest most gimmicky thing and every horror movie does it in their PR. It's about as useful to me as a positive review from Stephen King

It’s kind of amazing that most of the time someone brings up a movie called Crash these days they’re talking about Cronenberg and not that unintentional comedy that won Best Picture.

It definitely can make people nauseous/not feel well and low frequencies need a lot of power so the theater youll hear/feel it more than at home. Im sure the stuff on screen didnt help but ive always suspected the tone is the culprit more than the movie. Noe likes to make his audience physically uncomftorable and its one of the things i really dislike about him; see also the strobes in Lux Aeterna

https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1787550958743879767 The upcoming Strangers movies baffle me. Isn't the whole point is that it's a pretty stripped down premise? Why are they blowing it up to such an epic thing.

I find them pretty tedious and boring horror movie villains, first one was OK, second one sucked, and I don't trust Renny Harlin...but gently caress it I'll prolly moviepass all these stupid chapters.

Got around to watching Saw X. I liked how they obviously went out of their way to give Tobin Bell center stage for once, it felt like they definitely said "the audience wants more Tobin Bell, let's give it to them". I think two big things were out of balance though that made me feel like I didn't get what I usually do from a Saw movie. The first thing was just the fact that you know exactly why everyone is being targeted right from the beginning, and in fact you spend like 30 minutes being told that whole story right from the beginning. The series in the past has made that into a sort of mystery to be revealed as the movie goes on, so that's an interesting element that's completely missing from Saw X. Second, the death traps in this were just so over the top and convoluted that they actually became less interesting. It's a natural evolution I guess of a series that's 10 movies in, but I feel like a line was crossed here where the games just felt too Rube Goldberg when the best stuff from the first few movies had a simple elegance that made you say "oh poo poo that's hosed up". Like, I'm not having nightmares about someone forcing me to saw my own leg off and then put a vacuum pump into my leg bone to suction out the bone marrow, but I might have nightmares about jumping into a pit of hypodermic needles. Its become a bit too absurd.

Don't sleep on early Cronenberg either, Rabid and Shivers are both pretty great weird little ultracanadian films.

Existential horror at best but Canadian end of the world flick last night has cronenberg in a role and I really liked it. Woman in red was pretty fun, but while not pervy the kids facing their memories of being molested was a bit too heavy for these flicks Ambitious Spider fucked around with this message at 02:02 on May 7, 2024 |

Throwing up during a scary movie is a pretty good bit, but now everyone needs to poop their pants or else they’re not horror enough. Why gatekeep so much. Pukers and poopers should be celebrated.

Anybody seen the TV series Werewolf from 1987? It’s probably most notable for being part of the original Fox lineup when the network launched. A college kid gets turned by his infected roommate, kills him, and tries to hunt down the originator of the bloodline while in turn being hunted by a bounty hunter (named Joe Rogan of all things). They wisely don’t tie the cycle to the full moon so people transform when convenient for the plot. Werewolves designed by Rick Baker, although these are the discount specials with minimal facial movements and they kind of look like wolf gorillas. I’m digging it so far. Outside of the pilot movie which was a bit padded, episodes are a brisk 23 minutes. I can’t remember the last time I saw a show that wasn’t a comedy with runtimes like that. The limited budget means the soundtrack is either synth stuff or an 80s guitar thing which adds to the vibes. Chuck Connors is a mean looking mofo as the Big Bad, and I think he gets replaced by Brian Thompson in S2. I’m just watching VHS rips on YouTube so the quality is rear end but it helps mask the effects. Tons of smoky night shots.
