I've still gotta see Deep Blue Sea, I do enjoy Deep Rising. Also gotta see Deerskin. Sympathy for the Devil is great, Renfield is not bad. Nic Cage renaissance continues.

I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel on found footage so hard now that I'm just checking out all the random cheap ones on tubi thinking I'll find some hidden gem. I never do, but my weird journey did result in me rewatching Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County on youtube (also watched the original version which id never seen), remains the stuff of childhood nightmares. Wish more found footage looked like a haunted home video, the contemporary cheap ones just look clean and ugly. Speaking of, it all just makes me appreciate The Outwaters more and more the more I watch of the genre. It's so good! It's so rare for found footage in that it's visually striking, creative, and surreal in its horror...generally cheap found footage just looks like, I don't know, a history channel reality show where a guy shows up in an alien suit or you see a really bad cgi thing. It all just looks bad (and not in a good raw way) and lacks creativity. Makes sense but it's a shame. It did lead me to watching the rest of Matt Johnson's stuff, not what id call found footage horror but it's fun. Liked The Dirties and Operation Avalanche was solid. Watching Renny Harlin's Dylatov Pass (i told you this adventure through found footage has been getting sad) was amazing, it's terrible but it's really incredible in how bad the cheap found footage cgi monsters are. They're like, a PS2 version of Shadows of Mordor? Like glitching Gollum-headed orc things? It's hilarious.

On the one hand you got stuff like "You have to be really gentle with the... bewbs" but on the other when things go to poo poo his acting isn't TOO over the top and is actually quite effective.

Speaking of found footage, the opening of Butterfly Kisses probably has one of my favorite opening lines of a found footage movie, but it never quite lives up to what it promises.

There's a few found footage movies by Isaac Rodriguez on Tubi that are low-budget, just over 60 minutes but better than a lot of others. Mister Creep has a really good scene interviewing an old lady and Deadware is a neat little story.

What are some horror movie posters/box art you think are great, for whatever reason of appeal? I dig a lot about this design. Skeleton as a containment unit? Rad. The extra-pulpy art look of the woman framed in an open coffin? Great. The way the skeleton's lifting of its crimson robe makes it look like it has an amazing shoulder-pad suit from the '80s?

flashy_mcflash posted:Count me in for just being kinda 'eh' on Cobweb. It's mostly just twist upon twist with nothing really to say that I can discern, and isn't quite dumb enough to laugh at (though it's close). Caplan and Starr are real good though and it made me want to see them both together in a better movie. This is pretty much exactly how I felt. The story was nothing special and nothing I hadn't seen before. I do appreciate that they did the fakeout of making you think it was a ghost in the beginning, likely the little girl that disappeared that was mentioned. I also appreciate that they were trying to do the twist of "The parents aren't actually evil, they're just protecting people from their monstrous child", except they failed at that by making the parents actually legitimately bad people. The ending would have hit a lot harder if after the reveal of feral girl you realized they were doing everything they could to protect their son. It was okay, but glad I watched it at home while cleaning the living room. Edit - Also the ending was king "why the gently caress didn't you call the cops". They have the girl trapped, call the cops to get her and imprison/commit her. I'm trying to figure out what was expected to go down there, there's dead bodies everywhere, how is that going to be explained? Instead they just let her monologue that he'll be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life because she's alive. Which I suppose could happen if she was imprisoned too, but I didn't get that impression Medullah fucked around with this message at 13:39 on Aug 14, 2023 |

One of my criteria for enjoying found footage is getting away with stuff mainstream films never could, and for the Outwaters it's that over half the film is like playing a Kenji Eno game, the visuals are restricted almost entirely a to what's lit by a baseball sized flashlight. It's pretty much the only opportunity you ever get to watch experimental film with a bunch of people who would ordinarily never, ever watch such films under any circumstance.

Darthemed posted:What are some horror movie posters/box art you think are great, for whatever reason of appeal? I'll try not to hog the posts.  There's a few reasons I like this one. Corbin art to start, also this was one of the few poster/coverboxes that promised what the film delivered.  Considering the studio had no idea how to market this one so they flung ideas at the wall to see what stuck, I liked the rock version more than the horror or generic ones. It has that vibrancy that was so 70s that I kinda miss in poster art.  The art style takes me back to the 80s coverboxes and the old Leisure/Zebra publishing horror paperbacks.

 Love this one for It Follows. The retro style is appropriate for the movie, and it's an evocative way to capture the shifting/intangible monster and the sense of paranoia it brings.

I really enjoyed Cobweb, it's hard not to like Antony Starr and Lizzy Caplan as psycho parents, but I feel like it went on too long, even though it's under the 90 minute mark. I appreciate a good "you fool, I was holding them back" type of story, but it really should've ended once Peter realized his sister was a monster kept locked away for good reason. The extended scene of her taking out the very persistent bullies felt overlong, I feel the contortionist with long hair has reeeaaally been overdone for horror movies, the reveal that she had a jack-o-lantern face made me laugh, and the whole thing with Miss Devine coming back to save him felt very much like this movie tried for a more mean-spirited Roald Dahl. Speaking of which, it made me laugh pretty hard that the old teacher was called Miss Bitler, and she was being replaced by Miss Devine (boioioing).

Halloween Jack posted:It's kinda surprising how little gothic rock is actually featured in horror movies. The real standouts are Return of the Living Dead (prominently featuring 45 Grave, plus other goodies on the soundtrack) and Bauhaus popping up in The Hunger. Doomsday's use of Siouxsie's "Spellbound" is another memorable one. Another iconic use of Bauhaus in Night of the Demons https://youtu.be/Qjua87z9OW0 (prolly NSFW)
