Xiahou Dun posted:Enh, filmed in the 70's at least and it's got George C Scott. That's plenty good enough to throw it on the pile. Thanks! The Changeling loving rules, one of my favorite horror movies ever. Some of my other 70s favorites that you may not have seen yet: Martin; George Romero's vampire movie The Night Stalker; the TV movie that launched the eventual TV show Kolchak: The Night Stalker The Legend of Hell House; Roddy McDowall in a haunted house movie by Richard Matheson The Crazies; Romero's virus outbreak movie (which really freaked me out when I rewatched it in 2021)

Basebf555 posted:Yea I don't think anyone's saying he wasn't respected until recently, he was a very very respected actor and an Oscar winner. But he had that major lull in his career where he really seemed washed up and I think people had written him off. So making fun of him in Wicker Man and poking fun at all of the low budget trash he was appearing in was all part of that picture where the public had started to see him as a joke. I think people took notice again when he did some fun wacky stuff for the second Ghost Rider movie. Like riding around in skull make-up even when not filming. Which I guess means that we have to put Crispin Glover in a Marvel movie. I vote Galactus.

Some solid lesserknown 70s flicks The Shout (1978) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWJbPOgEkEM An experimental electronic musician living with his wife in a small English village gets an unwelcome house guest that turns out to be a wizard. A wizard that can kill with just one shout. A very eerie and mystical film with perfect sound design. Who Can Kill a Child? (1976) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoKr3DbGBpo A British couple on vacation find themselves trapped on a small Spanish island where all the adults have seemingly disappeared and the children are getting increasingly hostile. The opening credits is what I assume is real newsreel footage of wars combined with statistics about the number of children killed in various 20th century conflicts and wars. Which is amazingly crass in a way that you only really get in the 70s but at the same time perfectly apt and really makes you see why the children would rise up and why we would have it coming. Basically Children of the Corn except less Amish and more good. Long Weekend (1978) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCvruylRDmM The most obnoxious people in Australia go on a camping trip to try to salvage their failing marriage. There they continue to be dicks to not only each other but Mother Nature. That is to say until Mother Nature starts fighting back. A "When Animals Attacks"-film that really works to make you hate the main characters before putting them through hell. Probably to make sure you're cheering for the animals attacking them. Dead of Night AKA DEATHDREAM (1974) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPzkhRy3wLU Andy Brooks returns home to his parents from Vietnam. They are delighted as he was previously reported as killed in action. However it soon becomes clear that Andy is not quite the same as when he left. A forgotten gem that should probably be one of the most iconic horror films of the 70s but hardly anyone has seen it. A good companion piece with the previously mentioned Martin for two very different but very 70s vampire films. Psychomania (1973) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa8zcFMRwxo A gang of Satanic bikers join an occult suicide pact to ensure immortality in undeath. One of the highlights of the film is a montage of teen suicides that get more ridicilus with each death until it's basically slapstick. The soundtrack is clashing mix of earnest 60s folk music and hard rock guitars, the crimes of the undead Satanic bikers are mostly minor hooliganism, and the costume design is amazing.

Psychomania is the most light-hearted depiction of suicide I've ever seen, a weird as hell movie that's worth watching if you know going in that it's so insensitive that it actually does become funny

Xiahou Dun posted:Yes, yes, yes, perfect. Thank you! I'll second 'The Shout' - I watched it for the horror challenge this year and had a ton to say about it, way more than made sense to cram into a little recap. Also watched 'The Baby' and 'God Told Me To' this year, and loved both of those. I'd recommend 'Fascination' if you haven't seen it, and if you're feeling patient enough to get real weird with some slow-ish sci-fi horror, 'Phase IV'. https://letterboxd.com/film/god-told-me-to/ https://letterboxd.com/film/the-baby/ https://letterboxd.com/film/fascination-1979/ https://letterboxd.com/film/phase-iv/

Crescent Wrench posted:MODS??? Origami Dali posted:Whenever someone does this, they should get the 'seven days' phone call from The Ring All in all, I'm definitely in the cautiously optimistic category for the sequel. It Follows is what really pushed me to watching horror movies again in the first place and I only heard about it because I was following Disasterpeace pretty closely at the time and it was his first big motion picture soundtrack. I took a few folks with me to the theater to help support it and came out thinking that I really need to hunt down more movies like it.

I want to say the meme-ification of Cage started when someone put a supercut of his weird inflections from “Deadfall” and “Vampire’s Kiss” on YouTube. Stuff like his character sobbing and saying “boo HOO! boo HOO!”

Dark Night Of The Scarecrow is difficult to recommend. Too much of it is from the perspective of the miserable cunts who murdered a disabled dude, and one of them is even a nonce.

Plus, the old lady in Dark Night of the Scarecrow is a real one. In fact, I think a cool twist if the film was ever remade would be for the old lady to have caused the scarecrow to become animated through some witchcraft instead of it just spontaneously happening through revenge ghost activity.

For me that's the appeal of it - it's a tragedy that sets it off, and that makes the kills so satisfying. It's a tale of revenge. It's nice that it stares real injustice in the face and then it's nice to allow oneself the dark fantasy of "what if the prejudiced sons of bitches who hurt you got crushed with a whole bunch of grain".

Great escalation. the shot where mink is hiding under the stairs and slowly creeps out after the mom goes up them was one of my favorite moments. when nim died I knew they were completely hosed lol that poor baby it got way more wild than I expected. I gave it a 4/5. The whole movie looks really good. I like how it switched to stationary cameras for the house stuff leading up to the ritual. I also thought the end reveal of what causes nims death was great.
