gey muckle mowser posted:I rewatched Lake Mungo last night, I saw it back when it first came out and didn’t really get it, and I’m still not sure I fully understood this time either. I read it as something like Alice’s family was oblivious to any signs of what she was going though before she died, and basically still are now that she’s a ghost? Why did she bury her stuff at Lake Mungo? Was that another “they should’ve realized something was seriously wrong” moment or does it mean something else? I think the meaning of the movie is pretty simple; when someone dies it leaves an absence that is felt like a presence, and there's always going to be questions that can't be answered because the only person who could answer them isn't there. All the more fantastical stuff is either metaphorical depiction of that or just spooky stuff to make the movie spooky and good.

See, this is one of those things where I'd say "you got it". If a movie leaves you with intriguing questions rather than spelling everything out for you and you subsequently engaged with that, you're 95% of the way there.

Jeffery Combs' intensity in that film is what makes him attractive, but this is just one straight man's take on it

I just finished The Fall of the House of Usher and yeah, it was corny as gently caress but I appreciated how it swung for the fences and didn’t hold back. It was goopy, funny, and genuinely creepy. It wasn’t perfect, but probably my favorite Flanagan. Plus I just love Carla Gugino and she ate this role up.

The corniness was great and made the whole show. Flanagan came in wanting to shoot bullets at opiod companies and hit every single trope along the way so why not do that with horror too? This also came after Succession so everything seems done before. The acting was killer across the board. Great cinematography. Carla Gugino deserves some sort of award she was amazing.

ruddiger posted:Just realized hbo max only has the rated version or Jason Goes To Hell, I hope whoever it was that watched it for the first time watched the unrated version instead. That was me (or at least I just did too) and I watched the hbo rated version. I’d say it’s an actually bad film. Not the worst film I’ve ever seen by any stretch, but not great. And I’m a fan of Jason takes manhattan

I'm pretty sure the unrated version only has the uncut death scenes, it doesn't restore any of the forty-five minutes or so that may have explained the stupid story a little better. Though looking at the rest of the film I doubt it.

I caught a few minutes of Day of the Dead on some random cable network last night and it had all the gore blurred out! Why would a network get the rights to a movie like Day of the Dead if they're gonna do that to it? Who wants to watch it like that?

When watching Friday the 13th movies I can still remember exactly where the "edited for television" cuts used to be because I used to catch them on WPIX and USA. And occasionally you'd get alternate takes like in Final Chapter where Tommy is showing Rob a guillotine instead of a monster puppet.

USA and I think spike? They used to have interstitial of Jason running a marathon during their Friday the thirteenth marathons

In Final Chapter they muted "gently caress" but didn't replace it with anything, so the entire movie Crispin Glover is mad that his friend is calling him dead.

Halloween was on AMC the other week for the anniversary, with The Last Drive-In wraparounds. It was simulcast on Shudder. The only problem is they blurred the boobs and cut some deaths! C'mon!

Not strictly speaking horror (or is it ~*spooky) but I want to thank the denizens of the Horror Thread for convincing me to give MouseHunt another go, after it (inexplicably?) scared me shitless as a child. It's great fun, looks great, sounds great, is filled with character actors I love and has some killer lines. "I can't live like this! There's no air in the middle class!" I genuinely can't imagine a modern kid's film having anything like this. Or a contemporary one tbh. Anyway this is great.

I love that everyone involved with Jason Goes to Hell still insist that they hadn't even heard of the Hidden despite some shots being practically identical. It's insane.

Back when the Sci Fi channel was called Sci Fi and not Sy Fy or whatever but like 20 to 25 years ago they would show tons of Friday the 13th film marathons. Good times watching those.

The Nightmare 2 thing is a bit different because plenty of people involved swore for decades that they never noticed any subtext or innuendo, only to switch to "Oh yeah, I knew that was there all along" within the last ten or fifteen years. At the very least since the documentary came out.

I feel like Jason would know how to ride a bike, but I just don't think its realistic for him to drive. Very strong opinions about this.

If you worked for New Line they would read your spec scripts for free, I had a couple work friends who pitched Freddy vs Jason scripts. From what I heard, there were a poo poo load of pitches.

Michael Myers can drive a car, it’s canon. Freddy can at-least drive a bus and also turn into a car. I don’t think I want Jason to drive though he can ride sidecar.

I hope the context for Jason driving the car was in the final stinger. The teens that survived are out on the lawn trying to calm down, reassuring each other that Jason is finally dead, and suddenly a car slowly drives down the street and parks across from the teens. Zoom in on the driver and it's JASON! Jason Voorhees will return in: Jason XVI: License.... TO DRIVE!!!
