Zwabu posted:I haven’t watched Joe Bob in quite some time. Just looked over the listings and wow they have shown some bangers. Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane? Housebound? Posession? I have to get caught up on rewatching some of these. A lot of it seems to be based on films that are already on Shudder and there are some gems on there. Altho occasionally they will upload something just for the show and a lot of films he covers come and go as streaming services are known to do.

There’s also a listing on shudder for Just Joe Bob, which are the segments without the movies. They’re usually not that interesting without seeing the movie but if you’ve seen Mad God and only want to see this interview with Phil Tippett it’s good for jumping straight to that.

Also I saw Summoning the Spirit two weeks ago for Chattanooga. It was the only one of the 17 that underwhelmed me; cool concept it doesn't do much with, outside of some impressive visuals. Maybe I'll appreciate it more on a rewatch/outside of that setting, but as is, from Chattanooga I'd definitely suggest keeping an eye out for: Soft Liquid Center, about a woman moving out after a breakup and all her anxieties and stresses about it manifest in weird ways in her new home. I really wanna rewatch this as a double feature with Enys Men, they give off similar vibes to me. The most experimental thing I saw, and the thing I most dug, from the fest We Might Hurt Each Other (aka Pensive), a Lithuanian slasher Trim Season, where a handful of queer women get involved in work trimming weed on a farm run by a witch. Body horror and folk horror Hell Hath No Fury, about a sitcom couple both sick of being a sitcom couple with their partner specifically and trying to get each other killed by new lovers on a December night Wintertide, which is a zombie-mystery in a 30 Days of Night setting Less on the horror side but still definitely worth an eye on: American Meltdown, a Bonnie-and- Sour Party, a comedy about two also-struggling women having a terrible day The Last Movie Ever Made, a sweet and emotional comedy about the world finding out in unison that life is a simulation that will end in 15 days, and a man deciding he's going to use that time to gather his friends together and make (and watch) the scifi film he always wanted them to make together in high school

Phy posted:I always find the Warrens as depicted in the Conjuring to be a Little Much. Like, we get it, guys, you love eachother and God very much, let's get back to the spookies, yeah? I was into it, even the Elvis song, until the third film. They brought the story too close to them, so it didn't bounce off a cool haunting and just stagnated. Agree that they suck in real life.

One More Fat Nerd posted:I did not understand Mad God any better the second time. Phil's commentary has been... unhelpful. I've embraced the fact that I'm probably gonna get maybe one or two little insights or ideas each time I watch it, there won't be some watershed moment where I understand it all at once. Which I'm fine with because I plan to rewatch it a bunch of times and I should probably get around to ordering the blu ray.

I think I appreciated Mad God a lot more the second time. I always appreciated the artistry, but understanding Phil Tippett's mindset and character helps a lot of the imagery come together better in my mind, and I felt like I enjoyed how it was paced more this time too. Initially I had a lot of thoughts about capitalism, medical horror, the endless grind, propaganda, and more, but now I really felt a lot of connection with Phil and his view of art. "I, like a lot of artists, don't realize what I'm doing until many years later" is such a great quote.

New short film! Hopefully you dig it. It’s a bit ambitious in places but idk. It was fun to make and it cost 200 bucks. Soon it’ll be feature timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BShLFrbXd8… 😈😈😈

Holy poo poo, that was great. The alien in the house was super creepy and I loved the goopy stuff. Great finale and I appreciate dodging the cliché "drop my cup from shock so it shatters on the ground" shot.

Amityville the Awakening is one of the worst things I've ever genuinely looked forward to seeing Don't say "really?!"! The director did P2 and the Maniac remake! There was reason for hope!

I doing think it's really fair to call the Amityville movies a series or a franchise. It's like calling any movie with "Dead" in the title part of the Night Of The Loving Dead series. edit although imagining the dead returning back on land while Nicole Kidman tries to deal with some losers on a boat is pretty funny

WeaponX posted:I thought it was pretty tolerable, tongue-in-cheek, campy in the first 2 but by the 3rd one it went full “these two are literally the Christian Avengers”. For me it's easier to divorce them from the reality of the situation, until the third where it tries to exonerate a real life murderer. That's just kind of hosed up and gross for my tastes.

CelticPredator posted:New short film! Hopefully you dig it. It’s a bit ambitious in places but idk. It was fun to make and it cost 200 bucks. Nice job man! Good environmental story-telling, and impressive practical effects (especially for $200). One clarification - what I took away was protagonist has trauma/anxiety about a previous car accident and the alien is using its telepathy to set that memory as their battleground, right? Because of the way the flashbacks are used at 3:08 and 3:49, while we're catching up with events, I thought at first he'd hit the alien with his car, and was lying about how it happened, but I got there. And one little note - the pacing/tension between 13:00 and 13:27 feels a little off. It's hard to put my finger on; I follow the events just fine but there's not much sense of urgency or confrontation? It might be a sound design thing - you could try adding an ADR line from the man in the van, or some zappy sounds from him charging his weapon, or even just some distortion to show main character's disorientation but that quick segment feels a little flat right now. On the whole though, good job! How many hours of shooting would you say went into it?

You got it there with the first paragraph! Thankfully! As for the second, that’s fair! Won’t at all lie and say the last half we were running late and we stopped with the plan and just ran with it lol. That part was a little bit more extended but I ended up snapping a lot out of it. So that’s a fair issue. There were two van guys and a little more fighting happens but lol. But thank you guys so much!

We shot for 5 days. First two days were supposed to nail it but we kinda ran slower than I wanted and had to end it early because people had lives lol. So those days were like 12 hours total. Add in another 4 for the next day, and then a whopping 11 for the big day and 5 for the last day around 34 hours I guess. Overall fun, some issues but mostly it was like “hey let’s make a fun thing” instead of “oh gently caress I put so much money into this we need it to be perfect”

Leatherhead posted:Nice job man! Good environmental story-telling, and impressive practical effects (especially for $200). That was scary good for $200. Makes me think of the zombie film I did when I was a kid and what could've happened if we had actual money instead of Mom's lasagna. On first watch I was wondering if the guy missed a dose of his meds from accident trauma and hallucinating until the alien showed up and was real , second watch everything clicked. Not really a flaw of the short, but more I had a cat being needy while I was watching so I missed a thing or two.

It was a weird storytelling thing. I was trying some ideas and trying to go a bit deeper with my work than usual. Glad it’s more or less working. But I learned a lot so next time I can do these ideas a bit stronger! That’s the fun of doing no budget stuff.

And the reason it was 200 is because I had everything lol. I had the alien suit left over from Alienated. The alien head was the reshoot hybrid’s head as well, and I ripped off all that and sculpted over it. So I only had to buy some extra texture, foam, and foam clay to finish it. That all cost about like 30 bucks lol

This was awesome. Unrelated, but I'm rewatching the Price version of House on Haunted Hill, and now I'm angry that more movies don't start with the floating heads of their stars advancing towards the screen to deliver some rough exposition. It's so stupid but so tonally perfect that it loops back around to being awesome.

Yeah just don't read anything about Occult and go in totally blind. You're gonna have to make it to about the 60 minute to 70 minute mark. When it swerves it swerves and then its just loving crazy town on.
