I don't know if it's kosher to ask this here, so if it's not I'll remove the question: I am afflicted with living in Europe, so I can't access tubi. I have been reading up a little on VPNs and how they can help with that, but I have no idea which to choose. I'm willing to pay money but every search result recommending me one seems suspiciously like an ad site for their VPN service. Does anyone here have experience with stuff like that?

I'm in Canada and use (and pay for) Express VPN for all my VPN needs and it works for everything I've thrown at it which is FITE, Netflix, Disney, Shudder, Tubi, and Channel 4 in the UK. I hear NordVPN is also decent.

Jeepers Creepers is a bad movie and I say that as someone who defended Dream Child like 2 days ago.

Levantine posted:Washed the bad taste out of my mouth with a rewatch of The Autopsy of Jane Doe which is always a good time. Every rewatch makes me appreciate it more. It's such a tightly paced little film that doesn't waste any time but also doesn't leave much on the table. I love how tight the script is on The Autopsy of Jane Doe and how creative they got on what essentially was a bottle episode in a morgue. TheBizzness posted:Jeepers Creepers is a bad movie and I say that as someone who defended Dream Child like 2 days ago. I remember the Jeepers Creepers craze of like two months because the opening scene in it was like the most iconic thing high schoolers could relate to. The rest of the movie, especially knowing the backstory on the director, is a snore fest with really creepy (not good creepy) undertones.

I’m watching The Birds for the first time and the first half hour has one of the craziest stalker sequences I’ve seen but I think it’s supposed to be romantic. The sixties were a weird time

Bought Lake Mungo on sale and it turned up today, so after seeing someone else mention it I put it on tonight. Well, it was ok and while I certainly didn't hate it, I couldn't fully get into it. It was not what I was expecting - I had no idea about the mockumentary format - but the "interviewee" performances felt very believable, and interesting to read they were improvised. I rolled my eyes a bit at the 'dark figure seen in the background' as it seemed a bit hokey, but then they subverted that, twice. It did keep me on my toes whether or not it was going to include anything supernatural but Alice's camera phone footage at Lake Mungo didn't quite work for me - I felt like it needed a couple more moments like hearing Alice's last session with the psychic . I'm surprised though that the director hasn't made much since.

I'm just into Cozy horror right now so I'm mostly watching stuff Pre-1975. Like Devil Rides Out and Quatermass. Hammer Horror is cozy horror to me.

Yeah, the Hellraiser comparison is less 'goop' and more 'there are things from another dimension in your house and they loving hate you'. Honestly, Terrified is worth watching because even if you end up hating the movie, there's at least two or three EXCELLENT visual moments that are worth the price of admission.

It was not what I was expecting - I had no idea about the mockumentary format - but the "interviewee" performances felt very believable, and interesting to read they were improvised. From what I understand the director never intended for Lake Mungo to really be a horror film. He wanted to tell an Australian culture oriented story and recognized that Australian horror got budgets: https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/things-that-go-bump-in-the-outback-20070816-gdqven.html posted:The recent revival in Australian horror really comes back to Greg McLean's Wolf Creek (2005). Joel Anderson, the writer and director of the supernatural mystery Lake Mungo, puts it starkly: "One of the main reasons that Lake Mungo exists is because of Wolf Creek. That film had a big profile, and it made money, and film always follows money." It makes sense because Lake Mungo's reveal seems to be more of a shock that the girl existed and is in this state rather than a gotcha jump scare.

Cobweb is a weird flick. The final act goes pretty hard but the pacing is all off over the whole movie and then it ends on a really off note.

There is a hilarious drone scene in the season premiere of Thirty Coins. This show just gives no fucks at all. It’s just like “Yeah, this show is apeshit crazy. Deal with it.” I have never in my life seen anything so unapologetic about how over the top it is. MrMojok fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Oct 24, 2023 |

I watched the first season and even I am like “what in the gently caress is going on” Which is exactly the point of this show. To make you feel that way at least once per episode.

The first episode of the first season was insane, just -- as you say -- unapologetically apeshit. But then the next two or three episodes decided to go nowhere very loving slowly and I gave up on it.

I watched Titane last night, and I haven't been this completely bowled over by a horror movie since Mandy and this completely blown away by any film since maybe American Graffiti or Mulholland Drive. I feel like a changed human being. gently caress that was good. I didn't want to clog up the challenge thread with deeply personal rambling thoughts so I saved them for Letterboxd but holy hell I am buzzing. No wonder it placed so highly on the thread's best list. One of the best movies I've watched this year, and I've watched some really goddamn good movies this year.

How is Shudder for subtitles? I'm thinking of subbing up but my partner is partially deaf and subtitles for most of the content would be a must have. Here in the UK one of our major streaming platforms, Now TV, basically doesn't bother with subtitles for even current shows, so it's always something I'm wary of. It's a bummer to both get excited for a show or film and then realize it's unwatchable.

I use subtitles pretty much all the time and can only remember a few instances of not having them available on Shudder. I don't have Shudder anymore but I would say that "subtitles for most of the content" wouldn't be a problem

He's never actually been pulled into the real world and defeated. In every movie where that happens it's actually still a dream and the whole ordeal is being orchestrated by Freddy so that everyone will think he's dead and he can take a vacation. It's how he avoids burnout and maintains passion for his work.

So Freddy vs Jason is basically a Freddy movie in tone? I saw it as a lil kid and now I'm reading Slash of the Titans so I was curious. Keep in mind I'm a Freddy's Dead lover so if it's just a corny fun Freddy movie I'm all about that. Might rewatch FvJ and check out Lords of Salem (even though I hate Rob Zombie when he's in like obnoxious Devil's Rejects mode, it doesnt seem like that in this case...he's just so in love with his stupid gang of redneck murderers and imo theyre super loving lame). and, Robert??? You're just naming reasons Freddy's Dead is loving dope
