Just out from seeing Thanksgiving. If "Eli Roth does Scream" is something that sounds good to you, that's more or less exactly what it is. For what it's worth, I enjoyed it, and it has some real loving gnarly kills and gore effects.

I did a 90s horror list on Letterboxd a while back and when you really boil it down to the best stuff, it looks pretty drat good. We're talking Candyman, Scream, Tremors, Cemetery Man, Braindead, Child's Play 2, In the Mouth of Madness, Silence of the Lambs, Exorcist III, Ravenous, Bram Stoker's Dracula, People Under the Stairs, Demon Knight, Event Horizon, Audition, and the list goes on.

Yeah, I'll put it on whenever it pops up on a streaming service. I love the stop-motion skeeviness of the opening credits. Never managed to catch up with the sequel, though. Worth a watch?

Somehow I forget about the insane editing between scenes in Halloween: Curse until I watch clips from it. Is that the first horror movie to embrace that short of thing? It's so out of place.

Eli Roth sucks + hates women + is Zionist that’s a no-see for your boy. but maybe I’ll go see It’s A Wonderful Knife, Cassandra Naud from Influencer is in it alongside the icon Katharine Isabelle literally playing a character named “Gale Prescott” (a little on-the-nose, bro)

If he made public statements about that stuff then it's fair game to criticize him for it. I don't know if he did or not, personally. Probably not good material for the horror thread regardless.

His lovely attitudes towards women are enough for me, especially after he spent his early career insisting he was a feminist.

He did/does regularly, often in overtly Islamophobic ways, as well as calling for the doxxing of Jews like myself who disagree with him. Anyway my point was only that he sux and even if he’s made a good movie I can’t bring myself to see it, so what else is on the docket this month! This thread is where I get my updates

Now it's waiting for Rob Zombie to do Werewolf Women of the SS and it better have Nicholas Cage in it, or Edgar Wright to do Don't!

I recently watched Habit (1995) on impulse because the description sounded kinda interesting. I am glad because while it is unmistakably low budget and lacking in some ways (some of the performances) I really vibed with it. It's about an alcoholic who meets a woman who may/not be a vampire/succubus. There's something about the movie that connected with me. If you have tolerance for some rough edges I recommend it. If you can relate to the themes presented it's a rather impressive film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9VsgTZSHcs sad question fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Nov 17, 2023 |

I want a good slasher but I don’t jive with Roth. That Aftershock movie he starred in and and had a story credit on was both very bad and rapey.

I guess the deal with the "Bear Jew" is he's ironically diminutive but yeah I can't imagine ever being like "wow I'm really glad Eli Roth got cast in this film, he really enriched it" I feel like it was fair to assume the goon itt calling him a zionist wasn't just doing it cuz "he's jewish". Thats a weird place to jump to these days.

Right, of all the times to mention particular directors are zionists, the past month or so has made it very easy to tell who is and isn't. Mostly because they'll loudly tell you right now.

Martman posted:i dunno if I see someone say like, "x is a sex pest" I'm going to think maybe the poster had a reason for making that claim instead of just automatically assuming they were being racist or something Yeah but "sex pest" isn't also a (barely) dog whistle used by bigots. I get it, and I didn't assume they were an antisemite based only on calling Eli Roth a zionist but I get why it could come across that way.

I think we should all give Eli Roth the benefit of the doubt, if there's one thing he's famously demonstrated, it's his sense of subtlety and nuance.

I mean sure but I'm coming from the perspective of having Jewish family who have had swastikas graffitied on their house. It was weaponized by Nazis a long time ago and continues to be weaponized by Nazis. I didn't assume Pretzel Rod Serling was a Nazi. But personally I probably wouldn't throw around a word that Nazis also like to throw around without making sure there's adequate context. Personally I'd have probably said something like "supports Israel's war crimes" or something.

I watched Tomie: Another Face tonight and I think it might be better than the first one. It's a three part anthology made for TV a year after the first movie. The anthology format works a whole lot better for Tomie. It matches her whole seduce, abuse, get murdered cycle. This one sticks to the manga version of Tomie instead of whatever they were trying to do with the first movie. I liked that they tried to adapt the idea, but it didn't really work. Another Face is low budget and constrained by TV standards but feels like Tomie. Every segment is another man for Tomie to ruin, instead of the weird mystery the first movie tried. It doesn't get really going until the second segment. Tomie is actively threatening now and there are a couple minor spooks. The third segment ties everything together, gives some lore on Tomie and has a pretty good ending. The actress who plays Tomie this time isn't as good as the first movie, but she does well enough. I actually thought she did pretty well with different aged Tomies. If you want an adaptation of the manga, I'd say start here instead of the first film.

For live action film there's 9 Tomies, Uzumaki, Kakashi and Tomio. I remember not liking Uzumaki but that was before I read the manga. I haven't seen Kakashi or Tomio. I'm not even really clear what Tomio is, I think it's a script written by Junji Ito and is either a male Tomie or somehow related to Ju-on? There's some made for TV anthology stuff as well that I'm not familiar with at all. They made an anime of Gyo and a couple anthology collections. The Netflix show was OK, I've heard the other anime anthology is bad. They've been making an anime version of Uzumaki for at least five years now. It's looking very promising and might actually come out soon.
