Ambitious Spider posted:If anyone does jump on that 30 days of showtime, I can't recommend Yellowjackets enough. It's basically Folk Horror Lost, and it rules. I can't agree with your police work, there, Lou! I was totally into Yellowjackets a couple of episodes in, and I feel like it got REALLY stupid REALLY fast to the point that they had lost me completely before the end of the first season. The soundtrack kicks rear end though. Hollismason posted:Recommend me some 1970s to 1980s creature features. I have today off. Within next hour or so otherwise i choose for myself. Phase IV.

Prophecy is a good watch. Its hilarious. IT does have cool monster though. IF anyone is doubting whether or not to watch it there is a scene where a sleeping bag gets knocked away and it hits a rock and the person inside it and the sleeping bag EXPLODE

If you want an amazingly dumb 1988 horror movie starring a disinterested monster kitty, watch Uninvited next.

Bill Rebane rules. None of his movies are great or even good (except The Demons of Ludlow which I enjoyed a ton) but he's such a feisty guerilla filmmaker who by gum was gonna make some drat movies in Wisconsin and he didn't care what anyone thought! Love him!

All his little interviews about each movie are really fun though. I saw they got comments from Mark Borchardt for the documentary so I'm pumped.

The part in Braveheart where Longshanks throws his gay son's lover out of a window is a bit suspect in retrospect.

When you go back through Gibson’s films there’s definitely a pattern of gay/effeminate/androgynous villains or something like that. To be honest it’s an observation I remember being made after Passion when people were just like “uh, is this antisemitic?” So the details escape me. But like I said I think you can see the clues and hints now looking back. We just weren’t looking.

Braveheart is also about as historically accurate as Labyrinth but it's a very effectively crafted film. I love and hate that they chickened out on the Battle of Stirling Bridge, probably the most cinematic battle ever fought in Britain, by just having it take place in a field somewhere with no bridge in sight. Which might've been the right call, they'd have drowned at least a dozen extras if they even came close to Blind Harry's bombastic account (200 years later).

Speaking of The Curse. Don't watch The Curse (1987), Will Wheaton explains why (spoilerd for trigger warning: abuse) https://wilwheaton.net/2022/08/when...s-protected-us/ Hollismason posted:I'm now watching The Giant Spider Invasion 1975 I forgot why i chose this Go with Kingdom of the Spiders next.

I ended up bailing on The Giant Spider Invasion and just couldn't get into its low budget affair.

The most recent season of the show has an Amityville appearance that was really fun, but I'm also surprised we never got a full on crossover after Freddy vs Jason.

As always, I gotta recommend Razorback (1984), Aussie Jaws clone about a giant killer boar directed by the guy who made Highlander. It's wild and kinda brilliant.

ALLIGATOR owns and the stuff in DARK KNIGHT RISES where the cops get trapped underground is lifted directly from it.

between Alligator, Piranha and The Howling, John Sayles should be our creature feature laureate.
