Knock at the Cabin was very by the numbers. Good thing that all I wanted was watching Batista wear glasses and being a big cuddly murder bear, I got my money's worth.

Opopanax posted:Just watched Incantation and it was terrific, loved Noroi and Medium as well. What am I missing in the Asian Found Footage Curse Movie genre? Cult and Occult are both on my list, and I know there's those Koji movies everyone here loves that I'll have a better setup for in a few months Besides anything Koji Shiraishi makes, there's POV: A Cursed Film, Gonjiam Haunted Asylum, and The Bridge Curse. All three are pretty much pure Asian curse "you did the wrong thing, sorry, you die" films. Ju-on is the same vibe without found footage. The whole series is worth watching. The first two Ju-on: The Curse movies are maybe skippable, but they're short.

Watching From Beyond for the first time and...I know this is news to no one but Jeffrey Combs is attractive as gently caress in this one. Edit: Which is appropriate considering how goopy and horny it is so far. This rules Erin M. Fiasco fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Oct 15, 2023 |

The first two direct to video ones are great. They’re very low budget which makes them feel closer to found footage and makes it feel like you’re actually watching a weird cursed tape.

Watched Possessor last night, after rewatching Antiviral on Friday with my partner. We both liked Antiviral better but Possessor was very interesting. I definitely expected a more like, out there plot instead of "here's how stealing someone's body, pretending to be them, then murder-suiciding your new acquaintances, will affect your psyche and dissociation from the real world!" Jennifer Jason Leigh is also just fantastic, always.

Within like 3 minutes you have Jeffrey Combs getting bitten on the face by inter-dimensional eels and it pretty much never slows down

A Cure For Wellness is loving gorgeous, holy poo poo. Waaaay too loving long, but I liked how unabashedly wild this thing is. Gorgeous compositions, bizarre music video moments, possibly the best use of Dane Dehann in anything I've seen him in. Great cast in general, even small roles like Celia Emrie. Really loved this, despite the flaw of being so goddamn loving loooong.

Watched some classics for Halloween: The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1 and 2. Gross, scary, campy, funny, great time. Bill Mosely as Chop Shop in the second film is amazing. The Fly. This is my first time watching this film, how?? I was so pleased by how genuinely unsettling and upsetting it was. Plus Jeff Goldblum is hot. Pulse by Kiyoshi Kurosawa which I absolutely loved. So creepy and has a really palpable lonely vibe throughout. Then I watched some newer horror films: We're All Going to the World's Fair which was made in 2022 and I guess is about isolation and parasocial relationships. It was kind of eerie but not really engaging. Skinamarink, and I have no clue why I liked it as much as I did. Genuinely creeped me out. Evil Dead Rise which I just hated and thought was so boring Tonight I'm going to watch Talk To Me which I've heard good things about.

Johnny Truant posted:Watched Possessor last night, after rewatching Antiviral on Friday with my partner. You may be only the second person I've heard rank Antiviral above Possessor--however, the first person is myself. I just found Possessor a little TOO detached, even for a Cronenberg Family Joint, compared to Antiviral and Infinity Pool. I would revisit it sometime, but it felt the most clinical.

SidneyIsTheKiller posted:Googling this it looks like that 3D version finally got a limited release last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-ufklqO0f8 I saw the 3D version last year and it’s so inessential. It was great to finally see the movie in the theater but the 3D was so clumsily integrated it was hardly worth the effort. Like, they added CGI broken glass that jumps out at you when they break into the mall. Every 3D effect is like that and I remember only like a half-dozen shots where it was used. It pissed me off that THIS was the reason there’s no good US home media release of one of the most important horror movies of all time.

I watched Saw X and that was one of the worst movies I've ever seen just a dumb plot and the plan they had was so stupid and so much wasted space in the pacing. But there was some teenager who was OBVIOUSLY a huge fan on the same row as us and she was loving it and I'm really happy for her.

I recently saw Saw X and honestly it was a good time. It was dumb, but mostly earnest, which is the best kind of dumb. The traps made me cringe, the wild speed ramping and grading was a throwback to the early 2000s, and there were enough twists to keep me engaged between trap sequences. Not sure what more you could want from a Saw movie.

Gripweed posted:Something just occurred to me. Remember that weird week when people talked about "cozy horror" and nobody had any idea what the gently caress they were talking about and they couldn't define it and it seemed like it could turn into some kinda incredibly stupid culture war thing but then just completely ran out of steam because there was just nothing behind the "cozy horror" concept? What they're actually talking about are the films of Jean Rollin.

Taking a break from Lair of the White Worm to open another bottle of wine, and possibly build a fireplace so I can throw some pillows in front of it to lay down there. That's a cozy af movie.

Not anymore.”

Origami Dali posted:What kind of charmed life you living when that's one of the worst movies you've ever seen Horror is subjective going both ways. Obviously there's lovely horror movies out there like Leprechaun in Space or Jason Takes Manhattan. Everyone has their own personal shittiest horror movie even if the movie itself isn't poorly rated. Like I think Hereditary is a boring piece of trash that tries to pull on grief heartstrings with one jump scare, no ambience, an illogical plot (who eats a walnut cake at a high school party), and terrible dummy work that is worse than 1980's VHS backyard flicks. I'd rather watch Critters 3 a bunch of times than another Ari Aster film.
