Thanks, I will put on Blood Quantum first and Deadstream after. I had vague memories of BQ's praises in this thread, and am looking forward to seeing an annoying dipshit get owned after.

Yeah, Deadstream is definitely one of the few Evil Dead imitators that deserves to be at least considered alongside it. Nails that Raimi style of escalating chaos.

Deadstream was so good and really scratched that Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness itch. I laughed so hard at the ghost falling down the stairs off-camera that I had to pause the movie to collect myself

I love when I see the credits to a movie and it’s the same last names over and over because it was a family affair; Deadstream writer-directors Joseph and Vanessa Winter are married and there are a bunch of other Winters (and a bunch of Cooks) in there. gives me the fuzzies

I love the premise of gathering a bunch of different kinds of shithead psychics It's not, but the first two Puppet Master movies are both very weird in unexpected ways. The first one just is not at all what you'd expect from a killer puppet movie, and the second one feels like the script was written by aliens. I'd call them both entertaining based on how unexpectedly strange they are

The Deeper You Dig, Hellbender, and their newest one Where The Devil Roams are all solid and the whole family gets involved. They also all play in a band together called H6LLB6ND6R. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtxPffFiLo8

Just started Snapshot thanks to the recommendation of goons in this and the Physical Media thread. Had no idea the music was done by Brian May! Looking forward to this one. E: Yeah, Hellbender is drat good. It's so independent and a great woodsy folk horror with drat good music.

Rewatched Doctor Sleep for the first time since it came out and I'm pretty sure I hated it even more this time. The entire final act was basically this for The Shining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHJhu15f-hg

The end credits radiate this energy, as 90% of the movie is the director and his immediate family, with occasional credits like 'the ___ family next door as the dead bodies in the pool'.

Could've been worse, that was the entirety of Trainspotting 2. Woof, what a rough movie. I know Porno ain't the best book but still.

I started watching An Unknown Encounter, and Jesus Christ. If this movie came out today as a 90s throwback I would say they’d gone way too far, the 90s weren’t actually that 90s. But I guess they were!

I was listening to a paranormal podcast and in the intro to the episode the host said “I first heard about this case in The Unknown Encounter, which, depending on who you believe is either a documentary or one of the earliest found footage horror movies” and I immediately paused the pod because I knew I was going to watch it and didn’t want spoilers.

I had a hankering for some reason to watch some Hellraiser, checked on Prime and holy poo poo there are like ten films or something like that. Can anybody give me the rundown on which of these are worth watching? I know the first is a classic, of course. The only other one I remember is the one where the Cenobites appear in a club, and carnage erupts.

Lol this rules. On a similar but tangential note I also really liked at the end of the credits of Dearest Sister (2016), which is like the second Laotian horror narrative film ever, that Mattie Do has a note thanking the Indiegogo backers, cast, and crew which contains the phrase “you crazy mofo’s” [sic]

MrMojok posted:I had a hankering for some reason to watch some Hellraiser, checked on Prime and holy poo poo there are like ten films or something like that. 5 (Inferno) is by the director of the first Doctor Strange movie and is a serviceable DTV supernatural thriller with Pinhead kinda tacked on. The sixth one (Hellseeker) is pretty much the same but connected more to the first two movies, kinda. I haven't seen 7 (Deader), but 8 (Hellworld) is so god drat loving stupid it is almost endearing, and has Henry Cavill and Lance Henriksen. Hellraiser 9 (Revelations) is barely even a movie and I was a coward and stopped watching 10 minutes in. Hellraiser 10 (Judgement) has as much budget as its predecessor but you get the vibe that someone was at least Trying, even if the result kinda stinks. These last two changed actors for Pinhead. I'd give a tentative recommendation for 5 and 6, maybe 8 and 10 is you are in the mood for garbage. Past a certain point these movies were only made to retain the rights, as I understand it.

Arguably, that was the situation for the last four. But Hellraiser Revelations is the one with fat pinhead.

The new reboot is very good. 3 tries to make the series like every other horror movie. It has its charm, but it kinda takes itself too seriously for a movie with a demon with CDs in his face and when he open his mouth he shoots CDs at you. 4 had some good ideas but got destroyed by studio interference. 5 is a bad Jacob's Ladder ripoff. 6 is a bad ripoff of a bad Jacob's Ladder ripoff. 7 has a mildly interesting idea that it doesn't have the budget for. 8 is a terrible movie very stuck in its time but if you're watching them all in a row it's a breath of fresh air. It at least remembers movies should be somewhat entertaining. They just didn't make a 9, it's weird. 10 has some ideas, isn't the worst but doesn't understand what Hellraiser is.

VHS 85…worth it? I like the VHS movies for the most part, but I feel like they exit my brain as soon as I watch them (except for that one segment from VHS 2…you know the one). Or I could just watch When Evil Lurks.
