Cage is really knocking it out of the park with these horror movies. I hope he sticks with the Genres and Ithink its possible he'll be thought of like Combs etc.. as being one of those great horror actors.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anybody have any experience with Small Town Monsters' films? I just noticed this kickstarter for their new year of cryptid documentaries and was wondering if it's worth looking into.

I just noticed this kickstarter for their new year of cryptid documentaries and was wondering if it's worth looking into. If Momo: The Missouri Monster is representative of the overall project, it's purely an excuse to do a series of dubiously-accurate stylized 'reenactments' of various stories, without any attempt whatsoever at persuading the audience. It's stupid, but in an amiable sort of way. Lots of padding, though.

I actually really enjoyed Piranha 78! All those crazy quick cuts made it feel like something filmed fifteen years later in a way. And wtf was that little stop-motion fish goblin thing at the start?

They are fun goofy stuff and its so neat to see like lesser known cryptids actually get a chance to have a spotlight shine on them.

is there a point where Skinamarink clicks/lands or should I just ditch it if I found the first 20 minutes painfully boring? I've tried to watch it twice now because people like it so much, but even though I'm down with arthouse stuff I feel like this movie is about as fun as watching paint dry.

There is a bit more to it later on, but yeah if you're not vibing with it after 20 mins it won't be worth it.

Actually, 20 minutes in is around where they just loop the footage three more times to pad it out to feature length, but even most of the "fans" can't get that far so no one's noticed.

Skinamarink is not fun and never said it was. If you're not feeling it after 20 minutes it's probably not for you. You have to let it get to you for it to be effective. It's all build up and tension with no release, so you have to let you imagination run wild with what might happen for it to be scary.

It's not for the neurotypical, no. Signed: A chemically imbalanced Lexapro gobbler who had Skinamarink as MOTY.

I loved Skinamarink but if you’re checked out 20 minutes in then it’s not going to do anything to win you back. Us Marinkers are just built different.

Justin Godscock posted:Just reading it's Wikipedia page has made me go "...yeah, pass on this one". Same here. And regarding Skinimarink, it's a fine minimalist horror. It just didn't work for me because I never had that fear as a kid walking in the dark house at night. If my dog wasn't freaking out over anything, we're good.

I was really into Skinimarink but then it just went too dark visually. I couldn't see poo poo, and what you could see was not nearly as interesting as the shots when you could see. They must have run out of cool angles of the house or whatever. Being a little into photography those angles were what you look for when you're looking at buildings and such, so it was kinda cool to see someone doing it inside a house and making it creepy.

As a Skinamarink lover, I think the first 30 mins or so aren't very indicative of how creepy it gets. It's only after the parents disappear did I start enjoying what it was doing, but it took a minute.

Joking aside, I did like Skinamarink OK, but you really do have to immerse yourself. I got the lights in my apartment as low as I could, but about 30 seconds in I could tell I needed absolutely no distractions. I actually delayed starting the movie because my wife was taking a shower and the distant sound of running water was too much ambient noise for me to accept because I needed to soak in the movie's sound design.

watching it in theaters was truly an experience. the ambiance of the crowd's attention and tension was felt as the movie kept ramping and ramping and ramping. Just some real good poo poo there.

I watched History of the Occult this weekend based on thread recommendations and it kicked rear end. There aren't a TON of reviews or breakdowns online so I was curious if anyone more familiar with Argentina could clarify a couple things: Did they use any real-life politicians when mentioning all the members of Kingdom? I saw reviews online saying the movie hits harder if you lived through the 80s in Argentina, I wasn't sure if the names were real to really hammer that home. Did Argentina go through a Satanic Panic similar to the one in the US? I appreciated the little twist of "Michelle Doesn't Remember Anything" being a book in that universe that covers up actual Satanic stuff to parallel our own "Michelle Remembers" starting off all that insanity. Really fun movie, especially since I'm guessing it was pretty low budget. The ending kicked rear end and is going to stick with me for a while.

I've done quite a few empty screenings, but that's just because of how my work hours go, the times it's easiest for me to go see a movie is wednesday or friday lunchtimes. Usually just me and the pensioners.

Someone help me out here. I just finished rewatching 10 Cloverfield Lane and I don't remember the ending I just saw. At all. The ending I thought I remembered had a jet plane flying way above the clouds as it pans out to show the curvature of the earth, and then Cloverfield suddenly jumps through the clouds grabbing the plane and disappears with it back through the clouds and the credits rolled which was the only connection it had to the original movie and made you go "ah hah, theres the connection". Was this maybe the original movie I'm thinking of? I absolutely do not remember the pickup truck ending with molotov cocktail ending I just saw. I'm losing my mind. Seriously.
