A Fancy Hat posted:Something kind of fun to change topics a bit; my wife and I are rewatching the Lord of the Rings. I haven't seen it in probably a decade, she hasn't seen it in like 15 years. She was not a big horror person when she first watched it as a kid. My partner and I were having similar conversations about horror villains in non-horror movies yesterday. I absolutely love the villain of Blood Simple - if the Coens had made it a standard slasher maybe it wouldn't be as well-remembered by a wider audience and wouldn't be as interesting as it is overall but Loren Visser would be an 80s horror icon. He rules. Similarly, this is big spoilers but the entire Mad Man Mundt shotgun sequence in Barton Fink is one of my favorite horror sequences in any movie, and while you could certainly say Barton Fink is a horrifying movie, it's not a horror. So drat good. Oh, and everything about how Craig locks Lotte in a cage and becomes a body-hopping scumbag in Being John Malkovich is some primo horror stuff. Basically, the Coens and Charlie Kaufman should make a full horror some time, together or separately, whatever works.

I'm always reminded of Meet Joe Black where he gets hit by the cars as horror scenes in a not horror movie.

Killing is one of my favorite 21st century samurai movies (from Shinya Tsukamoto, director of Tetsuo and many other things...Definitely check out Vital for horror adjacent stuff much like Amenebar's work) cuz it's this thoughtful meditation on the hollow cycle of violence that (consequently) treats the aftermath of samurai fights as basically the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I’ll put Stand By Me on said list. The train dodge scene is obvious, but if we broaden the idea of horror, there’s a lot in that movie. For example, even though it’s a dream, Gordie’s father - at his oldest son’s funeral - looking at the surviving child and saying, “It should have been you.” Or Chris’ breakdown in realizing both how adults betray children and how his poverty/family rep will define every aspect of his life.

Not just horror, but Jackson's very specific corny trashy horror kinda throughout, lots of odd Dutch angles, plus the but where the ghosts rampage in the third movie and one of them flies up in your face like at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

M_Sinistrari posted:I more than understand the allure of taking some of the old kid's stuff and putting a dark spin on it. I sat through so much Barney and Teletubbies when my son was little, my head started spinning together some dark ideas. So far the problem I'm seeing with the horror adaptations of things is they're not really rolling the ideas around in the head to see the possibilities to run with. Going basic slasher route's very unimaginative. The idea I had with Barney centered on the kids being left to their own with lack of baby sitter..etc.. and they imagined Barney up as some variant of tulpa to not be alone with the plush as a focus. Fast forward to the future and the kids are grown. They meet up again for some reason, maybe the old school's getting demolished and they're getting nostalgic for the good days with Barney compared to how life turned out. It's enough for Barney and the others to manifest again. They're happy to see their human friends again, but knowing that they've had sadness in their lives, Barney and the others decide to make their human friends happy again by going after those who made them sad. A little late to this conversation but the best "Dark Barney" take is Death to Smoochy, because it understands that the disturbing part is the juxtaposition of grime and the superficially clean and cheerful kids' show stuff, which it accomplishes by mostly being about how the performers and managers are psychopaths. A Winnie-the-Pooh-themed slasher doesn't have the juxtaposition, it's just grime. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jan 22, 2024 |

Punkin Spunkin posted:Also FF/screenlife has extreme genre-crossing potential and immersive horror in the right hands. chiming in to say Unfriended 2: Dark Web has literally nothing to do with the wacky/silly ghost from the first one, is totally grounded in reality, and is loving terrifying despite somehow never leaving the screens of four-ish people on a Zoom call. It also does the "three endings based on which theater you saw it in" thing from Clue, so get the blu-ray if you can.

Jedit posted:Hope you enjoy relentless misogyny. Great score, poo poo attitude to women. There's definitely a very awkward juxtaposition between how it tries to be a straightforward sci-fi story about a feminist awakening in a society that feminizes it's organic slave robots while also being a tits-and-rear end music video, but for all of that it is a story about a feminist awakening.

Brad Pitt's death scene in Burn After Reading is harrowing too. the tunnel ride in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (71) is a primo horror drop.

That film's just straight up horror fantasy. The valley with the statues? The horse? Europeans should do more fantasy epics. They know that kids love having the poo poo scared out of them, and fantasy epics really only works if you ground the entire setting by emphasizing the lack of safety and making the monsters actually mean and hosed up. I'm half watching the new Percy Jackson with a mate and it's so anemic, the show's about children on the run from man eating monsters and there's somehow barely any threat.

Gotta say if you're a child of any age and you see a clown in the sewer and your immediate reaction isn't to run away screaming you probably would've died some way in the next year or two anyway Also Pennywise, Freddy, and the Blair Witch are definitely all homies. They probably got a special cell phone plan. Watching It Part 1, I hear that's the good one. Is Part 2 such a disaster it's not even worth moving onto after?

I enjoyed both of them. I wouldn't say the second is bad or anything, it just didn't have as much of the nostalgia thing going for it that the first one did.

The first It has some pretty terrible acting outside of Tim Curry. I've never particularly liked the story, either. I felt like it was the prime example of King not knowing how to end a story outside of the God Hand in the Stand.

I'm watching the new ones, don't remember the old TV movies too well. I do like the cartoon physics of this Pennywise, which presumably they couldn't pull off back then very well.
