I don't have any children, so whether it's my accumulated life experience, my relationship with my nieces and nephews, or some kind of time release parental instinct, I dunno.

Anyway, Talk to Me was really good! One thing I wasn't clear on was did the protagonist jump onto the highway herself, or was she pushed or something? I'm pretty sure she jumped, but I don't know what doing so would accomplish, aside from an attempt to just escape the whole situation.

My take on the ending was she was choosing to kill herself instead of the boy. She's been possessed since the first time, when she went over the time limit by a couple seconds. The ghosts are manipulating her into killing the boy so they can have him forever and then kill herself in guilt over that, giving them her as well. She is probably not aware that killing herself will let them keep her. It's a great "You're all hosed" ending.

Frankenhooker owns its hilarious, the first ten minutes sell itself, watch that and go with God. I really like Dust Devil too, it's a moody weird flick that I wouldn't say is for everyone, but made me a Richard Stanley fan (well until the poo poo about him came out) more than Hardware did.

Have you ever seen this?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096340/

An often unseen horror film from the 80s. I strongly recommend. Seems to fit that theme.

I'd seek out the directors cut of Dust Devil and not the theatrical version.

Body Parts is awesome/bonkers and has one of the best scenes ever put to film. Also Brad Dourif is in it.

Abel Ferraras Body Snatchers is really loving good if you haven't seen that.

I mean I'd definitely put it in a top 10 90s horror.

Like in no particular order a "best" of the 90s for me would be

The Silence of the Lambs
Misery
Candy Man
The People under the Stairs
The Exorcist 3
In the Mouth of Madness
Tremors
Army of Darkness
Body Snatchers
Scream


That's leaving off a huge list of really amazing films as well.

I absolutely love Frankenhooker. I can't say the ending says trans rights, but I can't say it doesn't, either. :allears: A sleazy gem of a film and the New York cinematography is awesome.

I actually was invincible as a teen because I did a lot of really dumb poo poo and got away without even a scratch. For a while I would switch seats in my friends car by climbing out the window over the roof and into the next window while on the road.

It was something to do.

Must mean I was unkillable.

I'll counter other recommendations by saying Frankenhooker is pretty terrible on the whole, but it doesn't try to take itself seriously and the ending is funny.

Looking at my list of movies I've rated 4 stars and above alone you have Perfect Blue, Wild Zero, Audition, Misery, Nightbreed, Fire Walk With Me, The Blair Witch Project, Lost Highway, From Dusk Til Dawn, Curse, Darkman, The People Under The Stairs, Tammy & The T-Rex, and Scream, with way more just under that I'd still consider fun and memorable and worth watching. For all the guff the decade gets I really think that when it hit, it delivered. Of course, two of those are restored or director's cuts, but still.
