Darthemed was kind enough to point me towards where the Tomie movies can be seen, so here's my thoughts about the first in the series. I have seen the first one before but I did not remember a single thing about it. I think I may have mixed it up with the second one, we'll have to see when that one gets its turn. Tomie 1 is a very slow burn. It's really not even clear what the plot is for pretty much the whole movie. There's a young woman with amnesia. There's a detective obsessed with finding out about a mysterious girl called Tomie. There was a guy in a band who... uh... was there? None of it ever really fits together. But, when Tomie finally does appear, drat is she good. She's so mean for no reason. And the actress that plays her does so in a very other-worldly way. She really doesn't feel like a human. She's inscrutable. But not in an obvious serial killer kind of way, more like an alien ghost. I wanted to call this low-rent Audition but it came out first, so maybe Audition is a high-class Tomie. There is also a twist that... isn't especially good. It's kind of obvious and kind of pointless. I liked the movie more than I remembered but I also can't call it good. Tomie is excellent. Tomie's movie is... meandering. I do give it lots of points for adapting Tomie in a good way. They didn't just copy everything from the manga. They did a true film adaptation of the idea.

WHY BONER NOW posted:off topic but I recall you watched a bunch of bigfoot movies at one point. Which one would you say was the scariest? I think for me the scariest was Exists, which has some really effective scenes in terms of showing the power and ferocity of the Bigfoot. Which is for me the scary part about the idea of Bigfoot, it's a gigantic powerful great ape and being on the wrong side of an animal like that is just inherently terrifying. And I'm not into movies like Willow Creek that refuse to show anything, I think Exists shows you enough to make the Bigfoot scary without overexposing it.

Dual (1971) is very good. Stephen should’ve directed more horror.

I had never seen the original Jurassic Park on the big screen until I was an adult and the T-Rex encounter in the car is still insanely tense, even if you've seen it a hundred times.

Yeah, that whole scene was referenced to the point of cliche for good reason, just an entirely flawless sequence.

Maybe I was just too young for War of the Worlds to stick with me but I remember having just read the book (and loving it) when the new movie was announced, and I just always hated that it followed some random family through the whole thing. Maybe I'd be kinder to it nowadays but judging by this thread, maybe not.
