Didn't want this to get lost in the logging thread, if anyone wants to talk about Pearl I've been thinking about it since credits rolled.quote:You ever hear about some actor from your parents, and they rave and rave about how great they are, but you're only exposed to the later stage of their careers and so you don't get all the fuss, then you track down one of their early roles and you go "Oh drat, I get it now" ?

I like Ti West a lot, and Pearl is the best thing Ti West has made to date. I have no idea how Maxxxine is going to compare.

PKMN Trainer Red posted:If it's not horror (and it's a scab film), I ain't got time for it this October Now, that's one of the actors, Star Trek guy, the director/writer/actor is the surely very cool Paul Bartel. I've been meaning to see it too, sounds up my alley. I like how the October Challenge thread says thrillers count, and horror adjacent stuff etc. So I think if there's a weird and/or tense movie that's a bit macabre or something, it's totally kosher.

Whoah speaking of found footage, has anyone seen Be My Cat: A Film for Anne? Completely missed my radar, which I guess is fair considering it's a no budget Romanian film. I honestly don't think I personally liked it, mainly for pacing reasons, but I have a feeling that some people here might really enjoy it. Premise is an amateur director making a BTS documentary of a fake film that he's making to convince Anne Hathaway to star in the actual production of the film. Yes it's about as insane as it sounds.

The highs aren’t as high as in other VHSes, but the lows aren’t as low either The question I’d ask is how you felt about Deadstream. The director did one of the best shorts here

Watched Argento’s “Opera” for the first time in theaters. It was the new 4K restoration and it’s beautiful. Never seen the movie before but it’s quite the spectacle.

Eating Raoul isn't necessarily horror but it's definitely weird and I think that counts as horror adjacent. It's very much a midnight movie, or like a 2am on HBO in the 90s sort of thing. Also it crosses over with Chopping Mall, which is definitely horror.

And I get it, the main character is supposed to have a grating personality but he was a little bit too effective there. If there was some amazing payoff then maybe suffering through that character would've been worth it, but there wasn't.

Deadite posted:fun fact, the real "witchfinder general" gave himself that title and was like 26 when he was burning people for being witches He also died of tuberculosis just as everyone was getting sick of his poo poo. Factual inaccuracy in your post though - Hopkins didn't burn any witches. He "found" them, but there his involvement ended. It was the courts who tried and convicted people, and the punishment for witchcraft in England (where he exclusively operated) was to be hanged. The Scots had their own little bit of witch hysteria around the same time and they did burn witches, which is where the confusion probably comes from.

Shutter, a movie we watched last night on my partner's request that I had somehow managed to let slip me by despite eating and breathing Ringu movies and knockoffs in the early 2000s, gave me a pretty big laugh this morning when I did research on the American remake (i.e. checked out Wikipedia) and learned that America was still so loving "Japanese horror remake" pilled in 2008 that they took a Thai movie and turned it into an American couple travelling to Japan. And then for some reason the official OST track listing made me laugh even harder because of the immediate juxtaposition in the first two tracks. quote:Track listing

I watched a movie by that same director last night, Pee Mak. It was a seriously charming and chilling little ghost story with a nice romantic core. Spooky but cute with a really funny central group  Like, I dunno, an Ernest Scared Stupid for adults. I liked it a lot.

My local place is doing Part 1 on F13 too, Lost Boys on Friday 27th, and NoES1 on Halloween night, I'm kinda hoping I can make all of them.

My wife and I watched Virus (1999) last night and I'm lowkey angry that no one's ever told me to watch it before. It was really good and had some of the coolest grossest robots I've ever seen. It's a movie that absolutely revels in its ridiculous concept and it's SO GROSS. I really loved it.

Evil Dead Trap is a gnarly movie that showed me a lot of stuff I've never seen in other movies like an eyelid slitting with a knife JESUS CHRIST but the sexual assault in it is pretty hosed up and it really puts me off ever wanting to show anyone the movie because I'd have to be like, 'Yeah, uhh, so, there's an absurdly long rape scene smack dab in the middle...'
