Xiahou Dun posted:It’s Belgian, not French. That's a movie I kinda liked when I was 17. Not sure if it's really worth a rewatch? I was randomly crazy about the movie Sheitan too (I guess Vincent Cassel has a lot of weird charisma), and a teen worshipper of Gaspar Noe. Not too long ago I watched another abhorrent film that was a favorite of Noe's apparently, Angst (1983). It's one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen, in that same sort of "transgression by pushing the boundaries of decency" space, no wonder it's one of Gaspar's faves. It's truly sick, it had me shook, and the fact that it was directed with incredible style just made the experience all the more worse and complicit. I would call it in the top 10 all time horror when it comes to its camerawork imo, but maybe I'm just too old because i found it also a nauseating and evil film. It is an incredibly unpleasant cinematic experience, but the more that I type the more I realize that this description might actually appeal to some people. There are people on letterboxd who have it on their favorites list and if I were president I'd have all of those users watched very very carefully Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 07:01 on Sep 28, 2023 |

It's been probably 15 years since I've watched Man Bites Dog, but I distinctly remember it being a comedy, was that not the case? Either way, I'm glad it seems like the community has lost interest in "R U mad at how shocking I am bro?" movies. A Serbian Film never happened, it's fake, so no, I'm not upset, I'm just annoyed by how much space it took up for a while. A film like Henry is shocking and disturbing, but it has a point.

It can be classified as a dark comedy or horror comedy. It definitely tries to make jokes and say things but it's also just a very hosed up serial killer movie.

There are legit a couple of funny things in it, but they do not support that length. It’s just kind of a miserable watch, and not the fun kind of miserable. Once the shock value wears off you’re just kind of forced to sit uncomfortably until it stops. It feels like going to the dentist.

What are some good deep sea horror movies? Leviathan (good) Underwater (good ++) Deep Star Six (haven't seen) Jaws 3 I guess (nah) Movies where people are deep underwater and would get crushed/drowned if they went outside, and that is a plot device Space horror is similar but I'm looking for water

It's like someone suggests the most common sense option that even a toddler could understand, and they do the complete opposite. Case in point, rather than release Haunted Mansion in October, release it in summer where it has to compete against Barbie and Oppenheimer.

Apart from the 24/7 channel my partner and I have a double feature every week, and of course in October we stick with horror and adjacent. We've planned our Fridays out for the month and I'm stoked. Our first week will be Hellraiser IV and Petey Wheatstraw, since we've been watching a new Hellraiser movie every year. First year was 2, which we loved, then 3 which was extremely funny but not a good Hellraiser, and last year was the new Hulu one, which I was...not fond of. I know they only get worse from here and I'm looking forward to this new tradition.

Leviathan sucks and Deepstar Sixis a million times more fun, just the laziest monster design out of Stan Winston, it looks like a mutated sea bass. Belowis an exceptional deep sea horror from David Twohy of Pitch Black/Riddick fame

No One Will Save You wasn't quite the horror movie I previously thought Nope was gonna be, but it was an anxious good time. I kinda wish we hadn't found out what happened with Maude, that made Brynn so hated? The almost complete lack of dialogue made me feel very much like an outsider and I think it would've been neat to just leave it up to the audience to figure out for themselves. But I guess then you wouldn't really be zble to tie things together at the end. Very fun ideas, though I'd still like to see a 90s style alien abduction horror that's less generous with showing the greys.

Underwater (2020) is an underrated one, but it depends how much Known Shithead T.J. Miller you can tolerate. But ignoring him, it's basically Kristen Stewart Plays Ellen Ripley before everything gets Lovecraftian.

Ok first off if you think leviathan sucks...my friend, you're all wet.  but if deepstar six compares favorably to it, I'll definitely check it outBelow...is that the boat movie where the poo poo hits the fan in the first couple minutes when like the entire crew get cut in half by a snapped wire

I think it's still the 3rd best Hellraiser behind the first 2.

But ignoring him, it's basically Kristen Stewart Plays Ellen Ripley before everything gets Lovecraftian. Worth noting that a huge portion of the water effects shots and diving scenes in Underwater are practical, and Kristen Stewart is terrified of the water She signed on thinking the movie was gonna be CGI like Aquaman, but toughed the shoot out, even when sets broke up and a malfunctioning dive suit injured her arm. (Thankfully the director doesn't seem to be nearly as big of an a-hole on set as Jim Cameron was on the Abyss, enough that Ed Harris straight up decked him after nearly drowning)

Michael Gambon has passed away at 82. For those looking for a unique Horror-adjacent film to slide into their October challenge I cannot recommend The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, And Her Lover enough. I posted about it in here when I first saw it and it hasn't left my brain since. Truly filthy, and Gambon is just mesmerizing.

Until I rewatched it recently I forgot how much Shithead Miller is in Cloverfield. You don't see him on camera much but he's doing dipshit commentary the whole way through.
