Looking through Flanagan’s filmography, he’s directed at least five good films. Pretty solid director.

LesterGroans posted:The apple/lightbulb part. I also really like a lot of the first act's suspense and build-up. Everything before the house, like the antique store sections, are creepy. And it didn't really hold back punches on certain aspects. What happens to the mom is hosed up.

I've mentioned it so many times, but I think Absentia is really bad. Hush and Oculus are flawed but solid flicks that are worth one watch. edit: Still haven't watched Gerald's Game yet.

I think Gerald’s Game is easily his best, though I could have done without the molestation scene, but that’s more of a Stephen King issue.

That scene absolutely ruined that actor for me. He keeps popping up in every Flanagan project and I can never not see him as that creep anymore.

Now that I think about it, Oculus would have been a lot better if it leaned into the WWE Studios thing and had the mirror offing people with Stone Cold Stunners, The People’s Elbow, etc.

Slice is streaming on Amazon Prime. An A24 production, it's written and directed by Austin Vesely, whose most notable previous works include the music videos to Sunday Candy and Angels for Chance the Rapper. The film only wants to be a black comedy horror B-movie, and pretty much pulls it off. https://i.imgur.com/0fQGRbo.gifv The town of Kingfisher, home to the mass grave of 40,000 people at the Halcyon Days asylum, is cursed to have the ghosts of the dead walk among them. When pizza delivery boys start getting murdered, the town searches for the culprit. Chance (the Rapper) Bennet plays Dax, a 1000 year old werewolf & scooter-driving Chinese food delivery boy, who also is a metaphor for a scapegoated and/or model minority. Zazie Beetz plays Astrid, a delivery driver driven for vengeance after the death of her boyfriend (played by Austin Vesely). Rae Gray plays Sadie, an investigative reporter trying to get to the bottom of the murders. Chris Parnell plays Mayor Tracy, trying to manage the PR nightmare by leaning on the police to charge a ghost or a drug lord or a werewolf. Paul Scheer plays Jack, the owner of Perfect Pizza, in steadfast denial that the murders of his delivery boys has anything to do with the building being built on the former site of the asylum's mass grave. Marilyn Dodds Frank plays Vera, the head of Justice 40,000, a local group advocating for the rights of the dead, while also accusing them of perpetrating the killings. Y'lan Noel plays the big cheese, a local drug lord who is in the movie for about 4 minutes. Joe Keery and Hannibal Buress are also in the movie. Its 80 minutes long. The soundtrack kicks rear end, and the cinematography is at times surprisingly good. Some of the characters are written a bit 1-dimensionally dumb, and the movie probably isn't as funny as it wants to be, but it doesn't veer into being unfunny, just silly. the premise could have made for a bad movie, but it works well for itself. It's not an instant horror classic, but not a waste of time either. To rip off someone else's review, it may make it as a cult stoner comedy. In short,

The Witch owns and I will literally fight anyone who says otherwise. I’m really stoked for The Lighthouse but also I want Eggers to do more Puritan movies because I really love the Puritans and he actually totally gets them. I would offer him my body if it meant more Puritan movies. Maybe an adaptation of The Scarlet Letter that’s actually spooky and good like the book.

Egger's next film sounds sick, but I'm also very disappointed he put his Dracula adaptation on the backburner.

TCM2 is really the Rosetta Stone to Rob Zombie. 1000 Corpses is the horror comedy TCM, and TCM2 is the horror comedy Devil's Rejects. Everything else sprouts from these movies.
