Re actually scary: I was just thinking about Get Out. There are a few scenes in that film that are genuinely terrifying to me, and not the jump scares or whatever. For example, when Chris and Rose are at the party and the cougar lady is asking Rose if it’s better (sex with a black dude) and she actually reaches out and grabs Chris’s pec or bicep. It’s shocking because it is so.. transgressive, and hints that whatever evil is lurking behind the smiles and banal small talk about Tiger Woods and Once You Go Black etc. has just started to take off its mask. We still do not know what it is, can only begin to see the rough shape of it, but it is beginning to reveal itself. Ditto when the maid is talking to him and she has that weird smile but is weeping at the same time, so loving uncanny. We know something terrible is happening, and sense she is in there trying to say something to him, but we can not know or understand the true nature of the problem yet. Chris rummaging through the red box of photos in the little crawl space is loving horrifying too, because it is the terrible confirmation of what we had been suspecting for a while, like Bluebeard’s wife going into his secret room and discovering his terrible secret. So he learns that Rose was in on the game the whole time when he still does not have a means to escape the situation and she has been the only confidant he could trust and rely on (aside from Rod).

PKMN Trainer Red posted:One real feel-bad movie that I don't see get mentioned is What Josiah Saw, which has a very good middle section (with an incredible performance by Nick Stahl!) before nosediving directly into one of the bleakest, most uncomfortable endings I can remember. What Josiah Saw would have been one of my favorite horror films of all time if not for the absolutely wild romaphobic stuff in the middle. Literal "the g*psies will steal your white kids" poo poo.

Five Nights at Freddy's is adorable, it's like a kid's 80's movie was allowed to be made in the 2010's. It's like if The Goonies had more facial mutilation. It fits comfortably between Mortal Kombat and Silent Hill for "best video game adaptation". What a cute rear end movie.

Saw Where Evil Lurks last night and wow, what a loving movie. One of the bleakest, no-light-left-in-the-world endings I've ever seen and I loved it. The demon-mom (demom?) walking along eating the kid's brain was... gently caress I don't even know. Just a great, fresh, inventive horror film that's totally worth your time. The scene with Ruiz, his wife, and the goat that sets everything on the path to Hell is also a masterclass in terrified tension. I love how the instant he fires the gun his wife axes him, I don't even think the goat has hit the ground yet. And then there's the next 30 seconds.

Finally finished Fall of the House of Usher last night, probably my second-favorite Flanagan after Midnight Mass. The only thing I didn't get was the significance of the scene in the first episode where Mama Usher comes back out of her grave, menaces her kids for a moment, and then strangles their dad. Is that just supposed to be foreshadowing of their eventual bouts with CADASIL?Enemabag Jones posted:Five Nights at Freddy's is adorable, it's like a kid's 80's movie was allowed to be made in the 2010's.

Weird way to spell Detective Pikachu. I'll let y'all decide which one is misspelled though.

The wife saw the goat standing and staring at her while all the other animals were milling around it trying to eat. When the guy fired the gun, all the other animals scattered but it, and when he pointed the shotgun at its head the goat walked directly into the barrel like 'pull the trigger'. That ain't no normal goat, I tell you hwhat.

I watched the season 5 premiere of Boulet Brother's Dragula yesterday and then immediately rewatched all of Season 2. The talent in making sfx/horror costuming is cool but hell, that show just seeps of why I like horror and the queer community despite being a dumb hetero. I really like season 2 because it's so unpolished and unpredictable, plus being able to fast forward the silly bits (like the BB short film time-fillers) is nice on a rewatch. I remember watching it originally with my gf and the experience of becoming the biggest Biqtch Puddin fans was like a highlight of that year.  Episode 2 tonight so a pretty cool time to jump on. Shudder has cleaned up the production value a bunch, but it can still be wild.

Yeah, I'm sure FNAF is a lot better if you're invested in the backstory, but I just found the whole thing really dull. Even felt tame compared to the game it came from too, I was expecting loads of jumpscares that didn't come.

The werewolf party felt like some stupid Bordello of Blood type thing but Brian Cox and Sam and the other stuff was fun. Also finally caught Sleepy Hollow. Really don't know why it's the one Burton I'd always forget about. Plenty of decapitations (no surprise), some great mood, great cinematography...some of the romance and action/adventure is ehhh but it's good poo poo with a nice cast. Also I mean it's about selling your soul to the devil so you can avenge yourself against your lovely landlord. Something we all understand.

I've been looking at j-horror (and korean horror) lately again and I finished Audition (1999) and Cure (1997) and I honestly didn't feel them. Though weirdly I was kinda almost cheering it up for the Audiion antagonist. Cure I take is kinda...cerebral in that you can make several interpretations about it. What was up with the household appliance that the protagonist kept turning off and wife kept turning on? Apart from implying dementia, some stuff shook in the movie when they were "possessed" or "invoked" to do something. What also bothered me about Cure is that the world and scenes felt weirdly poor and low tech and very barren. The hospitals and all. I mean they weren't bad films but I definitely didn't feel dread during them except maaaybe the very finale of Cure being afraid I'd get a jump scare, but no. I'm usually a huge pansy and legit mute some points of horror films and series. I'm probably rewatching Kairo/Pulse and Noroi/The Curse because I barely remember either before turning to other pieces of J-horror, *juust* to make absolutely sure I've actually fully seen him. Definitely watched everything there was to be seen of Grudge and Ringu years ago and for those I felt like, tear-inducing dread watching them from what I recall. Of recent'ish horror, Haunting of Hill House definitely was uncomfortable to watch and hearing there's like ghosts or whatever visible casually on the background or whatever probably makes rewatches worth it I started on Bly manor when it came but I wasn't in the headspace to finish it. Also *that* scene in that series might be the most uncomfortable/horrying horror scene I've seen in my life. Something about combination occasionally almost pedestrian cases of supernatural that's still extremely creepy, sometimes of beings that maybe you can fool yourself into thinking can be appeased or avoided due to past transgressions made towards them. Scenes of not just absolute frantic horror but like, two characters just having a conversation - or just one being somewhere casually and just something extremely creepy happening on the background or just being WORRIED that something creepy is going to happen on the background. Definitely a lot of that going in the grudge and ring, not to mention the vibes of 90's and early 00's Japan. There's probably similar'ish western horror around somewhere too. I'll probably check Koji Shiraishi's other work as recommended by the recommend me a movie thread. And maybe look into which Kiyoshi Kurosawa's works include supernatural/foreboding elements.

Report back on The Magician: it's good enough, but lacks direction. Reportedly Rex Ingram pretty much dropped out of the project partway through and let several understudies do the work, hence his credit being "supervised by" instead of "directed by". This led to his star (Paul Wegener of Der Golem fame) being a dick to cast and crew alike. The most interesting thing about the movie is that it culminates in a magical ritual intended to create life which reminded me quite a lot of Frankenstein (1932); one must wonder if James Whale had seen The Magician and been inspired. The second most interesting thing about it is that it features future famous director Michael Powell in an acting role.

As someone who turned off the original Exorcist after half an hour because it was boring, I'd like to say the new Exorcist movie is fine. Hell, it's pretty good, really. Someone of the bits feel a bit rushed, or a bit average but there's plenty to like. That very very last scene was kinda fan service bullshit. Maybe that's what got everyone so mad. What did everyone want? That felt like a modern day movie about a little girl(s) getting possessed to me.
