Gonjiam and Deadstream were great. Had WAY too much popcorn and mixed drinks but in a good way.

Unlike Mad God, there is dialogue, and also a lot of gyoza for some reason. I think it's replaced Parasyte as my favourite manga, and I don't like a ton of manga.

Phil Tippett is a bastard. People are on social media complaining that they don't want to watch horror movies where the monster is the five stages of grief. It's idiotic, as if monster movies in the 70s and 80s didn't have themes. No, the problem is the Goop Gap. Horror movies don't have enough blood and ichor and goop and slime, and that's because Tippett's been siphoning it all off and hoarding it for decades so he could put all of it in his movie. Contemptible.

Cutting Class was the exact sort of cheap, charming, unambitious middle-of-the-road fare I was looking for, glad I got to see it in a microcinema with a little crowd. Not a hidden gem, but does the job. Fun seeing baby Brad Pitt in a low-budget horror flick, the other leads are solid, there's some good intentional and unintentional laughs to be had. One great kill, a few decent other ones. Twisty and turny with its whodunnit, but in a way that's a bit more cheap tgan satisfying. The entire finale would have been by-the-numbers if it weren't for some off-the-wall nutso dialogue that felt improvised. The running gag about the dad making his way back to the suburbs was terrific, though I do wish they hit him with the car and killed him in the end. He certainly would have deserved it for recommending that a court send a 12 year old boy to an insane asylum for the rest of his life just for cutting the brakes on his abusive father's car.

I did get to see Talk to Me yesterday. It was just OK for me as well. I liked some aspects--it's well-acted, it's tersely paced, and it plays the kind of silly premise pretty straight. I'll be wary of spoilers because it's still in theaters, but I will say it definitely felt like the script lost track of "the rules" by the end and I was having trouble keeping a bead on what as supposed to be happening. I will add I do kind of wish I'd seen it in a crowded theater, but my brother and I were the only ones there at the random afternoon showing. (Admittedly, being alone is creepy in it's own way. I was not pleased when towards the end of the movie I turned around to see a theater employee just lurking in the staff doorway.)

BioEnchanted posted:He was just letting you in. :P  Also, I forgot to mention that, although the ending scene is pretty fitting and well-done, the song that plays when it smashes to credits is so wildly inappropriate that my brother and I burst out laughing. It was like one of those "Knives Out but it came out in 2007" type joke videos come to life. We actually had to take a couple of minutes to shake off how stupid it was before we could actually talk about the movie.

Horror movies having credits songs as punchlines is cool and good and more should if they’re not gonna have rap songs that summarize the movie. Haunt’s is S-tier.

Hollismason posted:The Borderlands / Final Prayer was good but I kind of felt the ending fell a little flat. It was good overall though. So I watched this last weekend and I agree? Like generally pretty great, but when I realized that the reveal can be described as "the church is a monster that eats people", I kind of wished the film had leaned into the metaphor. Also watched Prey for the Devil, and I didn't like that much. It felt like... I dunno, like fanfiction about the Church written by someone who had never so much as met a Catholic in their life. The nun drawing her fuckin cross out like it was a. 45 was kind of hilarious.

There are a lot of horror movies with orchestral soundtracks, tons with rock music, lots of various flavors of metal, some rap but I’m less familiar… punk, of course… What other music genres have good representation in horror movies? Is there a horror movie with zydeco on the soundtrack? Maybe some calypso? The Ravenous soundtrack is near and dear to me because 1) it owns, 2) Ravenous owns, 3) I love that it’s done with period instrumentation. So it’s all creepy old-time basically. loving love that poo poo. Let’s talk about horror movie music.

Any recommendations for a less than 90 minute horror movie for tonight. Suggestions taken for the next 30 minutes or so. I am leaning toward Brain Damage and the movie as well.

Damon Albarn loving around with the banjo is terrific, really sells the black as hell folk sort of comedy of that movie. matches Carlyle's performance The (og) Wicker Man soundtrack is also on a whole other level. I think it really helps wrong-foot the viewer too, these pretty and folksy sort of kitsch tunes. Carpenter and Morricone's score for The Thing has to be up there with my most-listened-to, and it keeps popping up in other things too (all throughout The Hateful Eight for example). that pulsing synth with western strings is an unreal musical slow burn

As someone who pretty much only listens to film scores horror scores aren’t super big for me for the most part due to how kind of bland they can be at times. They’re usually just loud stings and creepy noises. That being said the ones that stand out kick rear end. Hereditary is an all timer, in that you can hear it in a meme and laugh but still find it haunting. Annihilation is also great too. Always enjoyed the Friday the 13th scores despite being a bit repetitive. Halloween 78 and the new tie trilogy as well. Honestly any John Carpenter score is fantastic.

So many options, I'm still only at 88 minutes as the longest movie after two pages on my Letterboxd. Brain Damage is great fun, but if you're considering other kind of trashy schlock you could always consider stuff like Chopping Mall, Hack-O-Lantern, etc.
