Going to a The Frostbiter Icelandic Horror film festival next weekend to screen this film I made last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARSAtHSgNe4 Hopefully I'll win first price this time. Last year I got second place for this little DIY thing I made alone in my living room https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6L1Yzc8sFw

Slowly making my way through the Chucky franchise so I can watch the series everybody liked so much. I didn't think they were going to top the doll sex scene from Bride of Chucky anytime soon, but watching John Waters creep on Chucky rubbing one out into a cup so Jennifer Tilly can turkey baster inseminate herself with the titular Seed of Chucky... yeah that'll fuckin' do it  Also  at all the Tilly meta jokes. "What was that scream?" "Uh, nothing! I'm watching Bound! Gina Gershon is fingering me!"

I started watching Fresh last night and made it to the title card before my roommate wandered out of her room. Now we have Final Destination 1 down. It was alright, quite disappointed that I remembered it being more Rube Goldberg than it was. Definitely ready to watch the pileup in the next day or two.

The really ridiculous Rube Goldberg stuff is more in the sequels. Naturally as the series went on there was a tendency to go more and more over the top with it.

Fresh was pretty good. Kind of confused about all the “go in blind!” stuff because I feel like most people are going to know where it’s headed pretty quick. Unless they mean so go in so blind you don’t even know it’s a horror movie, then yeah that would be a pretty crazy surprise.

Beyond that the only one I've heard good things about is The Bridge.

Granted I’m not that big into that genre, but I gave up on The Bridge pretty early. The Swedish detective is implausibly socially inept; no way she could get reach that age being that clueless. Of course she’s hot too so it just felt like the “Born Sexy Yesterday” trope.

Lampsacus posted:If you don't mind my asking, which projector did you end up getting? Our flat's shared projector broke and we're in the market for one around that price. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/vankyo-leisure-470-wireless-mini-projector-white/6424701.p?skuId=6424701 This is what I got. I love it like I said, but one thing I'll say is that I didn't expect to love it this much, and I also didn't really look much at the native resolution I was buying -- so this one's native resolution is 1024 x 720. I suspect the image would be a lot crisper (especially for small text like I noted an issue with) if I had paid more for a better one. Obviously depends on your budget and how much you expect to use / enjoy it, but I think in retrospect I'd have spent a bit more, maybe $200 or so, to get one in a higher resolution, just because I expect to use this a lot, and therefore think it'd be worthwhile. Now, all that said, I still think it looks great at 1024x720. Movies and frames in movies look plenty crisp, only minor blur at the periphery of the screen when it's properly adjusted on the focus knob. Also lol that there were 2 Alone movies released in 2020, I thought including the year was overkill even. I was looking at the Hyams one. I thought I might have seen it once, but I guess not, so it's still on my list. Final contribution: Unless you're unmovably interested in or beholden to the Brooklyn podcasting scene involving CTH, C**town, et cetera, please avoid The Scary of Sixty First at all costs. Even if you ARE helplessly beholden to the podcasting socialite scene, still probably avoid The Scary of Sixty First at all costs. Lol. Edit: FreudianSlippers posted:Going to a The Frostbiter Icelandic Horror film festival next weekend to screen this film I made last year Good luck man! I liked the film a lot when I saw it a while ago, I think it was an older post at the time so I didn't necro the topic with a post on it. Sounds super exciting though, hope you do well!

Watching Final Destination (2000) now. 1) drat, what an opening. 2) I wonder if the kid playing the main character went on to do anything else? Oh, it's Devon Sawa. Oh, I saw him play the dad in Chucky last year, looking all old Oh, I look like that because 2000 was 22 years ago and the true horror is time.

Sawa's features looked weird on a 20something kid but once he got more weathered it all kinda came together. Nice when that happens.

I don't think Sawa's aged badly at all, he's a handsome dude, maybe even moreso than when he was younger. Same with Anthony Michael Hall. Like, rather than just aging they turned into totally different-looking people.

Also, God, Tony Todd is great for his short scene in this movie and I don't see enough of him these days. I always took his scene as him actually being Death and giving Alex a lil' heads up of what's coming. I hope that tease of him at the end of the Candyman reboot turns into something more. He's such a professional.

I like the idea that being a mortician just exposes you to death on such a regular basis that you can start to understand the mechanics of how it works more than the average person ever could.

In my experience literally yes. Especially before she graduated mortuary school and had to study a lot there was a lot of eating while watching gross mortuary stuff. You do get used to it so fast tho like I could eat and watch too and not care. My brothers an EMT and he said it took him about 2 dead bodies before he just got used to corpses and they didnt really affect him anymore.

I finally watched Censor and I'm not sure how I felt about it. Unless there's some reading of it I missed, the intended explanation of what happened seemed to be literally explained by one character halfway through. I'm also not sure what the film's message was. It seems in some way to validate right wing fears that exposure to "video nasties" influenced violent behavior? Or perhaps implying that figures like Enid who claim to be protecting the public have trouble distinguishing between what is real and fantasy. I'm also still curious about the repeated "the violence/evil is inside you" that Enid keeps hearing. Is that Enid's survivor's guilt or the filmmaker asserting that violence and depravity are inherent to people? I loved the atmosphere and lighting though. Neat movie, but I don't know what the takeaway is meant to be

Watched the 2021 Wrong Turn this morning and I have mixed feelings. Usually stuff starts strong and loses steam but I feel like this did the opposite? A weaker first half and then the second half was a lot stronger (maybe because it was more off the rails and less by the numbers?). Great gore effects though.

I haven't seen BW2 since I rented it on VHS in highschool, but I remember that the tape advertised itself as involving "the secret of ESREVER." The movie is NOT found footage, but it involves a crew going into the woods to do their own higher-budget Blair Witch investigation/documentary and then they get their poo poo haunted in. Things happen that don't appear on their tapes UNLESS they reverse the tape, then they can see ghosts or whatever breaking poo poo, I don't know. Anyway after the movie there was a little thing saying that there was a bunch of hidden imagery throughout the movie and the way to uncover it was to find clues written at the bottom of the screen when you rewound it. Throughout the movie these dumb letters would show up in the bottom of the screen, and they'd spell things like "window" backwards so after you rewound it and saw "window" written at the bottom of the screen you'd pause it and look at the window, and I don't know maybe there'd be a hidden face or a pentagram or something dumb with the window, it was the shittiest of gimmicks. William Castle would have vomited in his grave.

That said, I also seem to have forgotten most of the details as I watched it what feels like forever ago -- probably due for a rewatch as I really enjoyed it. Tonight I'm probably going to watch Only Lovers Left Alive (2013), A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, or Thelma (2017). Kind of in a sad mood so maybe not Only Lovers, as it seems VERY melancholic in tone from the little I've seen. On second thought, maybe I'll just take a break from horror tonight, or else find a particularly "Feel Good" kind of horror flick. Recommendations welcome as always!
