My girlfriend and I have been going through the Benson & Moorhead movies (or as I like to call them: the Resolution Cinematic Universe). I really, really like what those guys are doing even if the movies are mostly horror adjacent. Most of the "horror" is that of the unknown and of the human condition which I totally dig but very few of their movies are outright scary. Resolution and The Endless are definitely the closest to traditional horror. I think The Endless is one of the better Lovecraft inspired movies out there because it understands fear comes from the unknown not just "scary tentacle squid monster". Though, Spring Did do that and it was appropriately horrifying, despite how heartfelt the movie actually was. They just have a way of writing people that is super engaging for me. I need more down to earth and slow burn horror like their poo poo. They have some new movie out this year called Something in the Dirt that I really want to watch but I don't think it's streaming anywhere at the moment. Semi-unrelated: watched Dark Song last night and really enjoyed that too. It was super dreamlike and lived on the expectation of horror more than the reality of it. I'm realizing the older I get that's what I want in a movie. Any recommendations for similar movies?

Final Destination 19: before attending a house party, the protagonist has a vision of everyone dying of covid 3 1/2 weeks later and decides not to attend, convincing a few companions not to as well. little do they know, however, death will conspire to end their lives in other ways! (catching covid at the grocery store, the movie theater, and at a family reunion respectively)

Final Destination but it's just a bunch of old people dying peacefully after living fulfilling lives, surrounded by family. Tony Todd guides them into the white light.

Something in the Dirt is making the festival rounds right now but will probably get a wide release in s summer or fall. Not sure if it's on your radar but they did a couple episodes of Archive 81.

flashy_mcflash posted:They're my favourite filmmakers right now and as someone that was at one of the very first screenings of Resolution it's gratifying to see them hit it big with Moon Knight and stuff. Oh this is fantastic news! I had no idea they were involved in Moon Knight. That just rocketed to the top of my list. I'll check out Archive 81 also. It's been in my peripheral vision but I'll beeline it.

wait wait... you need two games the disaster report style game where you are the victims and a tecmo's deception style game where you play as death setting up rube goldberg traps... or maybe it plays like ghost trick...

I'm thinking a game similar to the recent Hitman games, but where you have like a God's eye view instead of a specific player character. You can float around the environment creating accidents and such.

A Final Destination Dragon's Lair game would be amazing, where you guide people through totally mundane scenarios with a horrific death literally behind every wrong input. A perfect playthrough would just look boring af.

I hadn't heard of them before but I checked out Resolution and loved it, thanks for the recommendation! I haven't really vibed with a lot of the slow burn films I've watched lately but this one actually worked really well for me.

Iron Crowned posted:Final Destination 3, was definitely enjoyable. OF the three I've seen so far, it's definitely the most watchable of them. It sets up the pins, and then breezes between kills, because the movie rightfully assumes that, even if you haven't seen the previous installments, you know what the plot is, so they don't need to explain it. As said by other posters, Mary Elizabeth Winstead does carry the whole movie, but it's fine, because otherwise I don't think it could have worked. It got my roommate's seal of approval because she wasn't rambling the whole time, and the only reason I know she didn't fall asleep because I'd hear an exclamation after each of the kills. I feel 3 is the first one that falters on the incredible opening disaster that 1 and 2 managed; while a rollercoaster ride going wrong is still plenty relatable, there's not really much more to it than "people fall off." I actually liked the subway crash at the very end more. Also the tanning bed scene, which starts out feeling really exploitative and then turns super horrific.

I don’t think the deaths in FD3 and especially FD4 are as effective as the ones in the other films because they are way less plausible. Accidents in the kitchen, falling in the shower, an apartment fire, etc are scary because they could actually happen, even if they occur in the movie through a series of extremely unlikely events. A tanning bed setting you on fire or the stupid car wash one in 4 aren’t rational fears. That doesn’t mean they can’t be entertaining scenes in a movie, but they aren’t scary in the same way at all.A True Jar Jar Fan posted:They also produced She Dies Tomorrow, similar style and darkly funny I really liked this one, it’s a little disjointed sometimes but I thought it was both really funny and realistic in the way the different characters react to their impending deaths

The physics in some of the 3 and 4 deaths get goofily cartoonish as well. They both still have some good ones (the car crash misdirect in 4 is good) but are generally just not as good as the rest. I also like the misdirects with looooong buildups, which is why apartment death in 2 and gymnast death in 5 are my favorites. My least favorite is probably racist guy death in 4.

flashy_mcflash posted:Regarding justification, it's actually less scary to me to have an explanation for violence. Nothing is scarier to me than senseless killing, but it has to be deliberately crafted that way and not just lazily omitted. I can see it both ways. For something large-scale and organized, I like where Martyrs goes more than something like Hostel or Saw where it's comic book silly and just an excuse to check out these sick gore effects bro. But completely random meaningless violence can be pretty effective too. The end of the home invasion movie The Strangers, one of the characters asks their attackers something like "Why are you doing this to us?" "Because you were home."

FreudianSlippers posted:Going to a The Frostbiter Icelandic Horror film festival next weekend to screen this film I made last year Got third place.  The films in first and second place were good. The standout international films (and first and second place winners in the international category) were the Franco -Belgian You're Dead, Helen about Maxime who is trying to break up with his overbearing girlfriend Helen the only problem is that she's dead and is haunting him. A genuinely scary, funny, and heartfelt film that looks amazing. The runner-up was the Dutch Shiny New World which is a training video for a company that specializes in cleaning up the carnage the day after a horror film takes place.
