Biff Rockgroin posted:How do you guys usually decide what you're going to watch for October? I'm into watching horrors I haven't seen before. I feel like I can watch every decent horror movie ever made, like an idiot. So I have sub-genre lists I work off of and usually just watch the top-rated film in each list (according to Letterboxd), unless I got a copy of a film, in which case I'll watch that. The Spook-a-doodle Challenge has added another little twist each year. My lists have become pretty eclectic, and I have moments of chucking an old favourite on to wash the taste out every now and again.

It's great. AKA Royal Warriors. Absolute banger. The poster doesn't even do all the insanity justice. Michelle Yeoh Hong Kong action classic. History of the Occult would make a great doubleheader with The Wolf House incidentally.

I love that Michelle Yeoh has broken through in Hollywood, just because it gives us the fact that there is now a Best Actress Oscar winner who has jumped a dirtbike onto a moving train (Police Story 3 loving whips) Gyro Zeppeli fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Sep 27, 2023 |

Yeah it's one of the few horror movies I've seen in the last few years that legitimately disturbed me. Creepy poo poo. Glad they got work on Beau is Afraid cuz Ari Aster saw that poo poo.

17 year old me loved it and thought it was genius which is why it's the kind of poo poo I pretty much disliked watching again a few years ago. It's nasty and brutal and mean, one of those French extremity type films that confuses tastelessness for "pushing an artistic boundary" imo but that does work for some people.

I wonder if it's comparable to Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer. Yeah I didn't enjoy that one but I understood it's purpose as a raw, un-Hollywoodized depiction of true horror and violence Maybe I will watch Man Bites Dog. maybe

I'd maybe still give it a shot just to see what you think I guess, but be warned that it is def one of those brutal "serial killer wanders around killing/torturing/raping people, mostly women" films. A friend once chose it for a movie night he was hosting and yikes that was rough. Same reason I stopped watching Be My Cat: A Film for Anne. It's a shame because it felt fairly novel and creative for found footage and then it's just like "oh you're just going to be torturing and killing women for ~90 minutes, i'm out". Kinda wish it'd gone more in a Bjork Stalker type direction. Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Sep 27, 2023 |

Justin Godscock posted:Making my list for the horror challenge and I'm wondering if The Toxic Avenger would count? Toxic Avenger is definitely horror Erin M. Fiasco posted:Ready or Not rules. Reminds me of how in the 2007 video game The Darkness they stick a bunch of public domain shorts and films in to play on TV's throughout the game and you can just hang around watching them Also to the suggestions for challenges mine would be "watch a horror film that is Animated rather than Live Action", though maybe for this one the 60 minute minimum runtime rule should be waived since animated horror is more common in short film format than feature film length

Don't get me wrong, there's lots of stuff we love, but I could totally see some CRT playing The Uninvited, VIY, Dracula's Daughter, or Sole Survivor right before the power cuts and a guy in a mask smashes me through my TV. Looking forward to seeing some of these for the first time. That TV isn't going off for a second.

It’s Belgian, not French. Everything else about this post is 100% true and correct though.

If you haven't seen it Heroic Trio is a very fun Hong Kong Michelle Yeoh flick with some great spooky adjacent grotesque flourishes. Also, slogging through Flanagan's Hill House, and I stand by the assessment that caused me to bounce off early when it first came out. It's Oculus but 10 hours long. thuddingly sentimental, and the we-smeared-vaseline-all-over-the-lens cinematography is ugly as gently caress. I put on Oculus after episode 6 and it's still a banger. Someone force Mikey F to make 90 minute movies again and maybe repeat that no dialog experiment he did with Hush.

Man Bites Dog is a comedy. Its incredibly bleak but there is something outrageously hilarious when they encounter another documentary crew filming basically the same film they're making and murder them That's loving hilarious.

Mike Flanagan wishes he could make something as good as Heroic Trio. I appreciate some of his work but he's no Johnnie To. Few of us are

I was thinking about Halloween Ends again and while I liked it overall I still can't believe Halloween Kills ends the way it does, and then Michael is able to just chill out in his enfeebled state in that sewage access point or whatever and that homeless guy even mentions how he drags people in there regularly and over the years no one thought to look around there.CelticPredator posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtHlJOnk-WA His first spoken words, the ENTIRE SERIES built up to that moment!!!!

I think Zombie had Michael speak in a alternate cut of Halloween 2 but I can't remember if its in the actual directors cut or just a alternate scene. He does say the most appropriate thing which is "Die".
