It's one of the few times when a clip from a horror movie is shown within another horror movie that shows the title card.

Neo Rasa posted:Speaking of rape revenge flicks, I thought it died years ago but I Spit On Your Grave: Déjà Vu is for real happening with both Meir Zarchi directing again and Camille Keaton starring in it again. I Spit On Your Grave is a title deserving of a good film, but I somehow doubt this one will be it.

If you like The Meg so much I don't know how you leave The Ritual completely off the list. It was definitely the best creature design of the year.

I loved Apostle, I know the thread was kind of cold on it but it does a great job having poo poo hit the fan so fast and keeping the tension up and I liked how urgent it all felt. You can tell there was maybe a missing scene towards the end because of how fast it jumps from the villagers being the way they are to whelp later losers we believe in the Abrahamic God again hop on a boat folks see ya wouldn't wanna be ya but I still loved it. I still have to see The Meg. :O

drat it. Now the thread has inspired me to delay my Hellraiser marathon it inspired for a "watch all the stuff from the last year or two you've been meaning to because maybe they'll all deliver as much as Hereditary did, you dumbass". I really just don't want to watch those three Hellraiser movies filmed together. That's gonna be a slog.

CelticPredator posted:I watched more horror movies this year than movies in general lmao. Speaking of, I finally watched Overlord. I think we talked about it in Gen Chat. It was whatever. I really like John Magaro, so it was nice seeing him in a decent role. Ian De Caestecker was wasted. Wyatt Russell finally gave me a young Kurt Russell vibe instead of a young Jeff bridges vibe. Overall it was a bit of a letdown. There were a few times where it threatened to ramp things up, but it never went full-anything. So even the final act just felt like it was a second gear. I didn't feel like I wasted my time, but nothing really stuck with me either.

Yeah, that’s about right for me. Although I’m way more sour on it. But Wyatt Russell rules so much. I want to see more action roles from him.

Yeah, he's killed it in funnier roles (22 Jump Street, Lodge 49, Ingrid Goes West) but he clearly has the chops for action. He's very good in a smallish role in Cold in July, which isn't action, but it's worth checking out if you haven't.

Thriller is a type of horror. Don't pigeonhole genres from horror , because it sounds like you like to gently caress pigeons.

I think its all in tone. Like the only thing that makes Jigsaw a horror monster instead of a thriller serial killer is an impossible flair for the dramatic. That said my philosophy on "Is it Horror?" is kind of "If you can make a solid case, I'll allow it." Its a big field.

M_Sinistrari posted:A friend sent me this link and I'm not sure what to make of it. https://www.vulture.com/2018/09/a-beginners-guide-to-dario-argento.html Its bizarre to write a article about Argento and not mention Phenomena. Considering who it stars its just kind of weird. Also that is a garbage level article. Here let me fix it Its sad but Dario Argento never made another film after Opera (1987) so you can stop there. Trauma (1993) The later years of Argento’s career have been marred by a string of misfires (please, love yourself and refrain from seeing his Dracula 3D) and controversies revolving around his daughter Asia. Prior to all that, however, he pulled off a family affair on American soil. Asia plays an anorexic patient at a stay in a Minneapolis mental hospital, where the orderlies have a bad habit of getting suffocated by a fiendish contraption known to fans as the Noose-O-Matic. As the title makes abundantly clear, Argento’s back on his Psych 101 grind, ginning up the most demented backstory in a filmography full of them. And the neuroses extend to darker crannies of Argento and his collaborator/lover Daria Nicolodi’s subconscious than usual — Asia’s role is based in part on her real-life half-sister Anna, who battled eating disorders right up to her untimely, accidental death shortly following the film’s release. Posterity has identified Trauma as a departure for Argento on several fronts. It’s the rare instance of a female protagonist surviving to see the end credits roll, the beginning of a protracted creative partnership with his daughter, and an early sign of his later compulsion to cast a wider net of appeal with U.S. audiences. And yet all of Dario Argento’s films (even the bad ones!) are so immutably his, all but embossed with his proprietary stamp in blood. The mark of a great filmmaker is the ability to create a sui generis visual language setting his or her work apart from the rest of the era, genre, or nation. Put a random frame of Argento’s in front of someone who has a functional understanding of his corpus, and they’ll immediately be able to identify its point of origin. He laid full claim to the vivid, oneiric strain of horror that the franchise mainstream doesn’t dare touch. His legacy lives on today in the cult circuit and the art house, in the bedroom and the asylum, or anywhere someone zips up a black leather glove.
