Dark Tourist is really entertaining. It's by the guy who did Tickled and he pretty much just goes around and visits macabre settings and quips over everything. I can't help but feel that he seems like a bit of a poor man's Louis Theroux though. Also, where the gently caress can I watch Ghost Stories, dude who posted about it? Really want to watch that today and I can't even find it as a paid rental.

It's on the HBO catalogue and I finally checked it out last night. I thought It was incredibly good, more of a coming of age story than a straight up horror movie. Bill Skarsgård was great, incredibly threatening performance backed up with some great creepy visuals. It was definitely one of the better horror movies I've seen in a while.

It's one of his best and that's saying a lot.

Dark Tourist on Netflix is really good. It's by David Farrier, the guy from Tickled, the documentary about the dark underground world of male competitive endurance tickling. Dark Tourist follows David as he goes to tourist destinations that are famous for death, like going on a guided tour lead by Pablo Escobar's lead assassin as he takes people to where he murdered his victims, and even demonstrates how it went down. Or follow David as he meets with a religious group of people in Cambodia who believe that people are merely resting when they die, and will periodically pull their corpses out of their tomb to visit with them, put them in new clothes, and take selfies with their dear grandmother who died 12 years ago. David's New Zealand cheekiness is what really sells the show.

Just finished Under the Skin and I'm not sure if there's anything obvious to the ending that I'm missing: As the biker is menacingly tracking her down, the woman delves deep into a forest, presumably for solitude and protection. She has been becoming more and more human, but tragically she can never truly experience the whole physicality of being human - eating and enjoying sex in particular - because her human anatomy doesn't extend past her dermis. In the woods she runs into a sex pest who tries to rape her but ruptures her skin in the process and dashes off. As she sheds her skin, the expressions on her human skin face and alien face show that she's shed all the rest of her humanity with it. Then the perv lights her on fire and she dies, and we finally understand that the biker's motive was to protect her, not to eliminate her.

It's been on Amazon for a while now, but The Rover popped up on Netflix and you should check it out if you haven't already. A low-key post-apocalyptic western with Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce. It's the kind of movie where the characters wear ratty sneakers and t-shirts as opposed to boots and leather jackets.

I kinda like it,I skipped straight to England, you can tell he made poo poo awkward and really pissed off some people in the reenactment thing in a battle between the Wermacht and U.S Forces, he kept on messing up and calling the guys nazis when asked politely to call them German and was baffled by the guys playing as the Germans were doing the catering for everybody. It's like going to a Civil War reenactment and asking people playing on the confederate side if they were cool with playing as the south. He's smarter than this, he has to be, right? It's like he's looking for trouble. I'm still going to watch it though.

It's like going to a Civil War reenactment and asking people playing on the confederate side if they were cool with playing as the south. I mean, he raised a really good point. The fact that a journalist and documentarian was asking mildly tough questions on these reenactors should be kind of expected. They were reenacting a World War 2 battle, using actual guns from the era, there were guys walking around in completely accurate SS nazi uniforms, and he was being asked to not say the word nazi? For a reenactment that was in so many ways going for authenticity, pretending that the nazis weren't involved is kind of ludicrous. quote:It's like he's looking for trouble. Well, yeah. He tried sneaking into restricted areas in a couple of episodes, and was arrested a couple of times while filming the show.

Filthy Hans posted:Just finished Under the Skin and I'm not sure if there's anything obvious to the ending that I'm missing: I don’t think it’s her that sheds their humanity at the end either. At the beginning of the movie she’s very outgoing and friendly when she’s “hunting” but that’s just a skin deep illusion over a completely dispassionate, ruthless machine. Interestingly as she rejects that role and discovers that maybe these creature’s lives are worth something she seems to shed all of her fake charisma. The logger at the end responds in the basest way possible to something he doesn’t understand - he just destroys it. I think the main success of the movie is that it largely wordlessly makes you feel some sorrow for the demise of this creature that at the beginning of the movie was an utterly heartless killing machine.

The Belko Experiment on the HBO streaming catalogue is pretty fun. Don't go in expecting a good movie, it's tasteless and schlocky. This movie is pure B movie battle royale trash, and if that's what you go in expecting, you'll have a blast. If you're as big a sucker for the battle royale/most dangerous game type setups as I am, you should definitely check it out since it's a very pure battle royale movie unlike a series like hunger games, which focuses less and less on the battle royale gimmick as time goes on. I'd put it above The Condemned if I was ranking BR movies, but not by a whole lot. Fair warning, it was written by James Gunn, so if that's an issue for you then steer clear.

Paris Is Burning, Little Dieter Needs to Fly (or any of Herzog's docs, although I didn't really care for Lo and Behold), Man On Wire, Pumping Iron, The Thin Blue Line (or anything else by Errol Morris). I have no idea what you like, but these are some of my favorites. I recently added Finding Vivian Maier and Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr to my list too, so I'll probably get around to actually seeing them sometime next year.

An Education just got put on Netflix. 2009 coming of age movie set in the UK in the early 60's where Carey Mulligan knocks one out of the park and also Peter Sarsgaard also does a very good job. It was incredibly well reviewed, look up some of those because they say it better than I could.

Caught two "culty" movies about mysterious religious practices last night. III The Ritual (Netflix) is a Russian folklore kinda thing about a girl who uses a druidic rite to go into her sick sister's psyche to try and cure her disease. This felt like an old wives tale to me in terms of structure, which is not a criticism by the way. The film reminded me a lot of something like The Cell or Silent Hill mixed with, like... The VVitch or A Dark Song a bit. Unfortunately, it never goes full crazypants like the Cell or Silent Hill. It's spooky, but it takes a long time to get to the spook-em-ups. This was a solid 3/5 star yarn. I would watch more from this crew, but I could use a little more meat on the bones. The Endless (Amazon Paid Rental) is the latest from the team that brought us hipster Lovecrafty tales Resolution and Spring. The Endless is about two brothers who escape a UFO death cult and decide to revisit ten years later when they find out the cult is still alive. I reeeaallly enjoyed this film. It has a few creepy-rear end set pieces, some genuine emotion, some good comedy, and a really unnerving premise that gets uncovered. In a world where everyone thinks cosmic horror means tentacle demons, The Endless goes a different direction, more Color Out of Space than Call of Cthulhu. I think it's creative and clever and just a real pleasure to watch. 4/5 stars although it's a strong-rear end 4 for me. I think the only thing that would have improved it was a little more cohesion and "soul" connecting the set pieces. Other than that, The Endless is probably the best HPL-inspired film in a very long time for me. That Dang Dad fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Jul 23, 2018 |
