I regularly shout at my tv "What the hell is wrong with you don't do that" whenever a horror character goes off on their own. I even do this during movies that I have already seen.

When I was a kid we rented movies incessantly, and we also diligently recorded everything we watched. Our private collection was almost entirely our bootlegged VHS tapes with 3 movies per tape. They're long gone, but I wish I at least had a picture of the labels or a list or something. I'm sure there's many combinations of 2 to 3 movies that I just saw all the time because they were all together on the same tape.

Tournament of Champions is better than the first. I called the twist on who the real baddie was B) But I was also watching the extended cut, and from what I read after finishing the movie that theatrical cut sounds bad, lol. Anyway I had fun. I would watch more of these, they should make more of them.

Best horror movies where the vast majority of the film takes place in one room, go. My vote for Fermat's Room. Consolation prize goes to 1408.

MrMojok posted:All the time. I did a lot of this until they got wise and started using something called “Macrovision” or similar that would somehow scramble any copy you tried to make. I probably have my old Macrovision crackerbox buried somewhere. Copied tapes didn't scramble, but did come out a skosh darker than normal. It was a fair enough trade off considering.

There might be some outside scenes but I remember most of the very cool Faults (2014) taking place in the hotel room (and bathroom)

Ambitious Spider posted:The Exam This is good a time as any to bring this up, but I absolutely love movies where characters are facing a very defined situation/set of circumstances/etc. and have to deduce the rules and use logic and strategy to survive. These are typically horror/thriller/survival movies, but I guess they don't have to exclusively fall into that for me to enjoy them. Exam and Circle are two examples that got me thinking. The Cube series, of course. The Platform. Coherence. Triangle becomes something in this vein. Devil (the elevator one). Frozen (the ski lift one). You can be pretty loose with this definition, though. I think a very early example for me was Night of the Living Dead (being trapped in the house, figuring out how to fortify it, plans to find a vehicle, plans in case of a breach, etc.) Anyway, I am always, always on the lookout for stuff like this. Even relatively mediocre ones.

It’s from Andy Weird, The Martian guy, and it is literally 90% people solving bizarre alien physics problems through experimentation.

No, I have not, but sci-fi is my genre of choice when it comes to literature so that's going on the list.

RIP Billy. I'm blaming David Gordon Green for this. "Who's doing it? The schmuck who directed Pineapple Express and Your Highness? Oh gently caress me!" Also finally started watching some moorhead/Benson stuff. Resolution was pretty nifty, getting into The Endless next.

Going back to VHS chat for a moment, the $90 price point thing for distributors was something that stuck around for a long long time. I remember seeing a catalog of new purchasable titles at the local Phar-Mor - sort of a small Southern drug store chain a la Rite Aid - that used to rent movies and games. I was interested in potentially getting a copy of Tomorrow Never Dies, the first Bond film I'd seen in theaters, but it was priced at $100 in 1998 money. Cheaper to buy a copy of "GoldenEye 007" and an extra controller for the N64 than to get one single VHS tape before its public release street date lol. But, it wasn't all bad for those distributors - sometimes they got goofy pitch videos with the stars to try to pitch them on the smart financial business of buying copies of smaller and mid-budget films for their stores. Like this one, starring Chucky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7irP3CTyDsg

Waiting for someone in the thread to say Killer Joe is their favorite friedkin so I can immediately report them to the authorities. Good movie but you should be somewhere where you can't hurt people.

I rewatched his To Live and Die in L.A. recently and I really appreciated how he wrote the main "protagonist" as a complete piece of poo poo and then has him get shotgunned in the face at the end. William Peterson was great in the role too, he's swaggering around in his tight 80s jeans and just being a total rear end in a top hat to everyone he meets and by the end of the movie you hate his guts.

The Loved Ones doesn't quite take place in a single room, as there are sequences outside before the main action as well as intermittent scenes following another character, but the main horror all happens in a single area and it's awesome.

Project Hail Mary, his third, is also getting a movie. His second, Artemis, doesn’t. Anyone wanna guess why? The protagonist is an African woman.

It feels like an Italian remake of Carnival of Souls despite the fact that it's as American as apple pie.
