ScootsMcSkirt posted:whats the best place to start for Benson and Moorhead? Resolution, The Endless, and Something in the Dirt are more or less connected Spring & Synchronic are far more standalone; they may have some tiny references to past movies but nothing that matters. Synchronic is the biggest departure for their style and also the weakest.

ScootsMcSkirt posted:same question with Koji Shiraishi just go in a rough release order for his found footage stuff. part of the fun is seeing him revisit ideas and build upon them and then once you get into the later stuff he starts bringing back characters wholesale. Stink Billyums posted:I'd go noroi -> occult -> cult so this but add senritsu 1st series > record of sweet murder > occult forest/rest of senritsu to the end shirome is extra credit that can be skipped that comes after occult but i believe it will one day be important to the kojiverse 😇

I've got Noroi on my watchlist already, but will his films appeal to someone with a general... ahem... distaste for found footage?

While you'll probably bounce off his other stuff, I think Noroi specifically will probably be OK because it's what I would call 'mixed' found footage -- there's the usual handicam stuff, but there's also news channel snippets, and sit-down interviews, and other stuff so that it's not the unending parade of shaky footage you'd normally get from FF.

What makes Shiraishi's work better than the standard found footage fare is that his stuff always includes strong characters, an engaging story, and humor. You aren't just looking at a video tape of somebody's bedroom waiting for something spooky to happen, you're enjoying it at the basic level you enjoy a regular movie. He's also a master of escalation. A big problem I have with a lot of found footage movies, especially in the wake of Paranormal Activity, is how often the plot is just a ghost demon doing random poo poo for no reason until the movie ends and everybody dies. Shiraishi doesn't do that poo poo, he takes you on an adventure.

I did Noroi for the challenge last year and it owns. It's definitely good for someone who isn't super into found footage, too. It has a nice blend and a good explanation for why and how the footage was "found", edited and showed

Yeah I usually bounce off of found footage but Noroi was really loving good and felt like a episode of X Files as things slowly unfolded . Really loving good.

I watched Cocaine Bear, Resolution, Unwelcome, and A Field In England on the weekend Tbh I think A Field was my favourite, though I prefer In The Earth's take on the same terrifying mushroom entity. Fellas I think I might like trip/drugs horror. Unwelcome's last ten minutes slapped too, and it's fun watching Colm Meany be a big ol bastard. Also, evil Nac mac Feegle Resolution was alright, very much in the "slightly weirder, slightly weirder, MONSTER" sense just mentioned Cocaine Bear sure had a cocaine bear alright

Watched Influencer catching up with some buddies over the holiday but it wasn't the right vibe. Was interesting but really slow paced. Might have just been a bad pick for a hang out movie, but I do think its a lot less compelling narratively compared to the 90s thrillers i've seen it compared to.

I tried to casually steer us towards Return of the Living Dead.. We did end watching the new Hellraiser which I liked well enough but thought was a little too glossy with both the characters and the cenobites. Edit: Not complaining- staying up late watching scary movies with your friends is the best and I appreciate it a lot more when I get to do it these days.

Oh for the new Senritus watchers, you can totally skip the shorts and not miss much but I enjoy them and they help develop the existential horror vibe. Not all of them are in the same documentary style either so its also feels like brief lil shakeups on the formula which is nice.

Justin Godscock posted:ROTLD3 is so good, it was one of the first horror films I saw when I was getting seriously into the genre in junior high (late night Canadian TV gave no fucks which was how I saw a lot of stuff in the late 90s). ROTLD 3 was the first one I saw and is still my favorite. Man, I always forget how wild Brian Yuzna's filmography is. Society to Honey I Shrunk the Kids to ROTLD 3 to, another one of my childhood favorites, The Dentist.

It felt like they couldn't decide if they wanted the villain to actually be relatable or just crazy and she ended up being an unfortunately boring middle ground.

CelticPredator posted:I love it too but it’s so hard to find the right movie for the crowd. It might make me a coward, but I've mostly given up on picking specific movies for a given night. We will flip through Shudder, Netflix, etc and pick stuff that looks interesting. If it seems like we are settling on a total stinker I'll try and veto. Or if we are considering something I really want to see, I'll push for it. It does really suck when you go to bat to watch something you really like and it doesn't hit with anyone else lol. Martman posted:Was not super into it either.

Yeah- exactly this. While I was watching I was expecting the payoff in your spoiler but when it happens its very perfunctory. Agree that I would have liked it more if it leaned into being either a study of this hosed up person and the social trends she's reacting to or a trashy melodramatic thriller. Not bad, but I don't think I'll ever revisit it.

This makes me feel glad. I saw 15 things for Sundance this year and this was one of 3 I didn't like, and it wasn't even burnout that had me not feeling it, it was the second film I'd watched at that point Sarah Snook's a great actress for sure but man, I end up hating horror films with her in them. Winchester, Jessabelle, and now this. Predestination is the only other one she's been in I haven't seen and I'm kinda afraid to now
