I was going to say Trash from RotLD doesn't look like that, but apparently she kinda does? Weird.

Yeah, it's probably my messiest composite since there's no really good shot of Trash as a zombie from the front, so I had to like...slap together her human clothes with of all things a mask of her zombie form. It gets the job done.

Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:

I feel like Sinister really limited its own potential with the moving houses thing. Also the black metal bad guy just didnt land as well as Insidious’s darth maul.

The Sinister films were okay enough. Buguul's look worked for the setting. But what really was standout for the films were the mini murder reels. When I was watching, I was more anticipating the next film mini than the main story. With Insidious, from what I've seen is just more compelling overall, the storyline revelations mesh rather than feel smooshed in, the characters come across organically fleshed out. I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing Red Door soon as there's room in the showings when I'm not working.

It's such a mixed bag living in a city that loves scary movies. It's great to see them do well, but dammit, I wanna see them on the big screen too.

I vastly prefer the first Sinister over Sinister 2

So the new Insidious already made bank and was #1, so we're probably getting at least one more sequel, in addition to the already-in-development spinoff Thread (starring Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani) and the long-planned Sinister crossover

I think what happened with Dark Universe tanking hard was that the studio execs were impressively stupid in handling it. They were looking at the shared Marvel and DC films and were all 'oooh shiny!', and looked at League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and said 'we gotta plan!' which frankly sucked so hard it blew.

It is possible to do a Universal Monster shared universe, but it requires actual familiarity with the material instead of looking at 'we got a mummy, a wolfguy..etc...'. Ages back I was in a classic monsters discussion group and we had a thing where a member would get picked to be lead conversation head for a month and that person tended to do something special like show off their collection from being a Monster Kid, another shared recipes he'd gotten from the various actor's family members, and I wrote what was pretty much a fanfic where the monsters got the happy endings. Imhotep was the mastermind having learned from his missteps and went through recruiting. Frankenstein's Monster was the only other 'canon' recruit with the others being connected such as the wolfman was Talbot's grandson and while Larry had been cured, the lycanthropy skipped a generation, the vampire was a dhampir who's mother was a maid Dracula fed on while he was settling in at Carfax Abbey...etc. Some monsters didn't make it like Eric just went missing after the Opera fiasco, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon couldn't be found and presumed in deep hiding or extinct. The antagonists were the descendants of the assorted film's heroes who all had their emotional baggage. Ending had Imhotep finally reconciling with Anksunamun and having a comfortable life together, Wolfman was at peace with the lycanthropy, Frankenstein's Monster got a new body and functioning mind, had gone to med school and was now a teacher who'd run with the joke of 'I am the monster' when students would ask about his last name and his scars.

The story went over well with the group and over the years I've debated doing one for the Hammer films just for fun.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
I went on a bit of a horror streaming binge this weekend.

Evil Dead Rise was bloody good fun. However, while I know it's a time-honored trope that the monsters have to get stupid at the finale so the designated survivors can make it out, it was so blatant here. The deadites are fast, cunning, cruel, and completely loving unstoppable... until they decide to merge into a gangly, slow multi-headed thing that accomplishes nothing and in fact helps the humans by flooding the elevator with blood before dropping it, so they survive what would otherwise have been a fatal drop. Still liked it a lot.

Did not like Under the Skin. Honestly, I kept having Skinamarink flashbacks. Movies where nobody has a name, nobody has a goal there's no stakes, and it's mostly static shots with droning background noise clearly scare some people, but I guess I just didn't have whatever childhood experience makes that sort of thing freak you out. Spent most of my time wondering why the aliens wouldn't put the woman into service as a sex worker, she'd have single men who wouldn't be missed literally applying to her instead of going out and having to hunt.

loving loved Barbarian. That one was great. 10/10 no notes.

I'm confused, she literally was having men approach her all throughout the movie - that's what it was about. It's saying something about gender expectations/gender roles, sex, humanity, butchering, the world and the universe, etc - it's kinda interesting if you just pay attention enough to notice what is happening (and in the case of this film, it's a lot).

watched Sleepaway Camp for the first time over the weekend with some family. Unfortunately, i already knew about the twist but I kept my mouth shut so others could experience it. Very silly movie that I enjoyed a lot even tho it did that old movie thing where it ends abruptly with no resolution. But drat, that final shot gave me fuckin chills

Judy kept cracking me up, just no chill whatsoever

the woman that played the adoptive mom was so incredibly terrible at acting that her performance wrapped back around to being mesmerizing, i can see why the last thread gave out so many avs of her

I really enjoyed Occult and Noroi , but didn't particularly care for Cult and Record of a Sweet Murder. Just didn't like those last two that much at all. The ending of Record of a Sweet Murder is really good but it doesn't make up for having to sit through the graphic sexual assault scenes.
