They're really two separate films that should be watched as such. I think both have some good ideas even if HND is quite a bit better but SND suffers a lot from the "Never Died" moniker.

Horror thread, I need your help! I'm trying to track down copies (either physical or, preferably, digital) of Koji Shiraishi's two Ada films (Part One and Part Two). Anyone have a line on these?

Housebound is very much my comfort horror. I've yet to have a mood or day so bad that that one doesn't pull me out of a nosedive just a little bit.

Basebf555 posted:I have a much bigger problem with Halloween Kills. I actually think the whole thing would've left a much better taste in my mouth had they just done Halloween and Halloween Ends, two films instead of a trilogy. Kills was just goofy as hell and not in a good way. Goofy and Michael Myers isn't a good combo. What was goofier in any of these three movies than the training montage where Mike teaches that kid how to stab? I guess to Ends' credit that was one of the times I laughed the hardest at a horror movie all year.

CelticPredator posted:What’s giving me pause is the complete failure the short alienated was. It failed every festival it went too both in getting in and reception…but I’ve also shown it to other people who dug it and such. And that’s cool. But a lot of people I showed it too responded with a “oh neat” and moved on lol. Which is just the worst reception something could get in my opinion. Didn’t like it or hate it. Just meh. Nothing precludes you from remaking something down the line if it means a lot to you. Lucky Mckee did it with All Cheerleaders Die which was one of his early shorts. Not the same but Malum was also a remake in pretty short order. My unsolicited advice is make what you love, now and always. People know when you haven't.

A24 was a distribution company first and A24 is more about vibes anyway. There's lots of stuff distributed by, say NEON that I think qualifies as A24 horror even though they had nothing to do with it.

Vast of Night isn't big on scares but hell if it isn't one of my favourite horror pairings ever with the two leads. I was fully invested in both of those characters and genuinely liked them in a way that I usually don't with horror. That alone smoothed over a lot of the film's rough edges, along with a pretty strong sense of place. Maybe not a great horror movie but a thoroughly enjoyable movie in and of itself imo. I wish I could've seen it at a drive in or some kind of outdoor theatre.

Power Walrus posted:Any good films about doppelgängers? I loved It Follows, They Look Like People & of course Bodysnatchers. Anything that plays with the fear of something familiar being sinister or uncanny. Also the fear of everything around you changing into something predatory. I haven’t seen Possession yet, I heard it plays with some of those themes. Would Orphan: First Kill qualify? If not, this is an excuse to recommend Orphan First Kill.

Count me in for just being kinda 'eh' on Cobweb. It's mostly just twist upon twist with nothing really to say that I can discern, and isn't quite dumb enough to laugh at (though it's close). Caplan and Starr are real good though and it made me want to see them both together in a better movie.

Open Source Idiom posted:gently caress, I had the worst cinema experience watching Talk To Me the other night. A large group of people decided that the foot sucking sequence was the funniest thing ever, which, whatever, but then they took it as their cue to just make noise and loudly bag out the last half of the film. It started when one person decided to just start making "spooky" noises over things and wouldn't shut the gently caress up and a few others got involved. After a pandemic period of empty or near-empty theatres I loving hate going to movies with people now.

Boat Dracula was fun enough. Probably nothing I'll think about in a month but decent goop and a fun setting go a long way for me. I'll agree with CJ2 that it's probably my last favourite Ovredal so far but that's still a decently high bar.

Finally saw Talk to Me and I'd say I looked it more than Cobweb and Boat Dracula combined. The performances were all superb and I left feeling excited about what they do with the sequel. Give me more of the other side, that brief little glimpse was terrifying.

Overall I like it as a series but it can have some real bad ones. Yeah exactly. IMO Black Mirror has some really high highs and some hilarious lows, and for an anthology series that's what I'm looking for and expect.
