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.

I remember not being into The Dentist when it came out but I really need to give it another chance.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

As I recall Stuart Gordon and Yuzna brought the film to Disney and Gordon was set to direct and Yuzna produce. But Gordon dropped out and Joe Johnston was hired and it’s hard to imagine they would have made the same film. Obviously the movie is a throwback to B sci fi/horror like the Incredible Shrinking Man and it sounds like Gordon/Yuzna were always planning a Disney kids film and not some kind of typical thing from them. But still. You gotta think things would have felt a bit different.

I don’t if it’s been discussed ITT, but episode 4 of the new season of Black Mirror is some decent horror.

If you haven’t watched, don’t read anything about it, don’t look at the episode description, just go into it cold if at all possible.

Black Mirror has like a 10% hit rate for me but the episode from a few years ago with the robot dogs was sick, very good robo horror

I’ll also add, go into episode 5 the same way (unspoiled)

It’s some pretty good retro-style horror-comedy.

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

I had some mild interest in Run Rabbit Run just for her, but it's growing milder with each tepid review. So I can't speak to any of those horror films, but I did watch Predestination earlier in the week. It's different than I expected given the schlock premise (a time traveling temporal agent hops around the timelines to catch killers before they commit their crimes). It's really all about the characterization and the time travel paradoxes. I didn't realize it was based on a Heinlein story. That being said, Snook is definitely the reason to watch it. Ethan Hawke has top billing, but it feels like she has as much if not more screen time and really anchors the movie.

I watched Rabbit a couple nights ago and it was just boring, tropey bland safe horror. I think they were going for a shock ending but it couldn't have been telegraphed larger if there was a blimp flying around with the ending spelled out

Hahaha, I had the exact same thought. The SHOCKING TWIST wasn't so much a twist as, 'Uhh, yeah, that's what the plot was saying, yep'. Absolutely shameful.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Playtest is probably the most explicitly horror episode they've done, but Metalhead is a better ep. Black Museum is fairly spooky throughout.

The novella is structured where each chapter is a month so it covers a whole year. I don't remember how the movie handles that exactly but yea the firecrackers scene takes place around July 4th.

I watched Unwelcome yesterday. Liked it quite a bit. Colm Meaney is great, only complaint is the husband is just too useless/pathetic, it stops being funny and starts being like "I'm ok if he just gets killed" at some point in the bedroom scene.

just saw The Blackening. Was a strong premise but kinda fizzled

can someone explain the iphone vs android thing that kept getting brought up? I didn't think it was a culture war talking point (outside of rich vs poor)
Replying to this from the last thread. I just watched The Blackening and I have a thought on this one. I glanced over a couple pages and didn't see anyone mention this so I figured I'd bring it up again.

After Knives Out was released there was a big whatever about Apple not allowing the villains to use iPhones. If you knew that going in to the movie then you'd immediately be spoiled on who the killer was going to be. So in the beginning of this movie they hang a giant loving lampshade on CLIFTON IS THE ONLY ANDROID USER IN THE HOUSE HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT CLIFTON HE USES ANDROID.

That's my problem too. I have 2 Insidious movies and 3 Conjuring movies all mixed up in my head in one big Patrick Wilson stew and I can't remember which is which.

Somehow I'm only figuring out now despite having seen loving all of both series that Patrick Wilson is the main dude in both of them
