Takes No Damage posted:*High Plains Drifter has logged on to the chat* This pretty much is a Western horror movie now that I think about it... It's gory but in a pretty cheap looking halloween mask way. I'm not sure a kid would enjoy it but I don't know, seems like it was made for pretty specific type of adult fan. Edit: After refreshing my memory I think all the gore in PG is pretty kid friendly but the sheer quantity of it might be too much.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Well, for me there's "fun scared" and then there's "actually scared" and the thing about being actually scared is that it kind of sucks frankly. Yeah, I should have been a little bit more clear in my original post. I meant the fun-type scared. Where maybe you like to see monsters and great gore effects but then every once in a while you see one that legitimately gives you that fun-scared feeling on top of all the other stuff. Nothing at all cool about being really scared for your life, for real.

Hereditary is the last thing I can think of that left me actually scared during the movie, and stuck with me enough to be creepy enough when I would think about it days later. Mostly I watch horror movies for either tension/release or fun, depending on what "kind" of horror movie it is, rather than scares.

Psycho Goreman is like a very gory episode of power rangers or those coming of age movies where a child befriends a fantastical creature.

Also I wouldn’t call PG coming of age. There’s only one, and a pretty funny warped arc in the film, but no one really learns anything lol. And PG is my friend and he is powerful

Just finished Gonjiam myself and bolded that part because jesus fuckign christ that was easily the scariest scene I've seen all month. I'm going to go walk the dog now.

The Witch is so good because the opening scene is shows a witch masturbating with ground up baby for lube , so you know you’re in for a nightmare and expecting it to get worse the whole time. It does! Wow!

Kvlt! posted:I'm reading what's either a small book or a large pamphlet called "Deathconsciousness", and I'm pretty sure it's fiction masquerading as non-fiction and I'm a dummy, but it claims a horror movie movie called "The Devil Sings Softly" was made in 1954. It claims the movie is hard to find. Is it real? Or am I dumb. I believe this pamphlet was made by a postpunk band called Have A Nice Life

alf_pogs posted:I believe this pamphlet was made by a postpunk band called Have A Nice Life It was, I actually got it at a HANL concert a while ago. It's just so well-written it definitely fooled me into thinking it was a piece of non-fiction. I think the singer is a college professor which would explain it's academic quality. However, it's entirely fictional and I spent an hour searching for a movie that didn't exist lol. it's a pretty spooky read though. It's like found footage but for books. Found literature. Def worth checking out.

The trick with a lot of horror is that it’s actually designed to comfort. “When you get home tonight, and the lights have been turned out, and you are afraid to look behind the curtains — and you dread to see a face appear at the window — well, just pull yourself together and remember that, after all, there are such things as vampires.” Watching Dracula 1931 for the first time, it’s surprising to find out that it’s actually an exorcism movie. Dracula himself barely exists as a character and Mina is clearly ‘just’ mentally ill - but Dr. Van Helsing’s unorthodox treatment is this whole theatrical presentation of Hungarian folk remedies, purification rituals, etc. This ends with the good doctor straight-up breaking the 4th wall and telling the audience that the idea of a vampire is way less scary than going insane.

I saw Last Night in Soho last night, and I enjoyed it. Wright strips away the comedy of his previous films, and just lets this one be more of a horror film. The cinematography felt Giallo-like, although I am sure someone is going to disagree with me, and the story had elements of Polanski's The Apartment Trilogy. But it was definitely its own thing. The two leads were fantastic. McKenzie really nails the mousy young girl going to the Big City for the first time. Taylor-Joy plays confident and troubled well. On the other hand, I can see why people may criticize this. The concept of the film at times feels like it suffocates the narrative. I have also seen people criticizing the second half.

I have had a very blessed couple of nights watching horror films with Prey, The Lure, Good Manners and Wild Zero. It's rare I'll love new watches but these four killed me - all different tones with varying degrees of horror but batshit crazy and brilliant. Wild Zero tonight was hilarious and had a beautiful progressive message, 1999 Japanese punks loving rule.

Something I just caught on my last watch of Halloween 3 - when Tom Atkins calls his ex from the pay phone, he tells her he’ll still be back in time to take their kids trick or treating. Then he ends the call by saying, “I’ll call you on Monday.” Halloween, like this year, is on Sunday in the movie. He was never going to take those kids trick or treating, even without the Celtic death cult, lol.
