Because I'm unabashedly a fanboy and the actual Neon Demon was archived here's a different 30 second redband teaser, featuring more synth, Keanu Reeves, and blood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH-srjX2H1c

FreudianSlippers posted:Miike made four other films that year. That's basically his thing, he constantly cranks out films some of them are brilliant and others are pretty meh. Miike is to film what Guided By Voices is to music. If you blink, you might miss 4 new releases. 1 of those releases will be incredibly great. The other 3 will be middling. By the time you figure it all out, there's 4 more and it starts again until you burn out.

It was such a tease when Miike did 13 Assassins and Hara-kiri in back to back years. He went back to doing weird poo poo of inconsistent quality right after that though.

Holy poo poo. Watch this if you ever wished you lived in a Cronenberg movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfoVOGMz054 (Please don't discuss it, though. I think any discussion would spoil it)

The Invitation is pretty good. Pretty much had a sense of dread throughout the entire movie. In part because of the music and just the characters doing such a good job at being creepy. called them being death cultists pretty early on before they even showed that dying person video, but then I flip flopped and thought that maybe dude was just being paranoid so they did a good job

Glamorama26 posted:Tim Lucas "The butler opening the door in this scene is Felix Müller, a German actor who got his start in a popular toothpaste commercial at seven years old. He was an extra in several Italian sex comedies, including Seven Women for the Police Chief and the under-appreciated Dr. Fantasmo's Swinging Sex Lazer, the third film in the Dr. Fantasmo series and my personal favorite. Felix met Bava on the set of Hercules and Django Fight the Sirens, an unusual swords and saddles film that Bava was walking past on his way home from work one night. They immediately took a liking to each other and became lifelong friends, though this was their only collaboration. I met Felix and his wife while taking a taxi in Paris in 2004, and he told me that the tie you can see him wearing in this scene was a bit too tight. He passed away from colon cancer in 2011. The red light in this scene really highlights the ominous nature of the castle. The woman in the distant window is Sabine Durand, a French model who..."  I can't take Tim Lucas. I won't deny that he knows his stuff, he's an absolutely bottomless fountain of trivia, but from the commentaries I've listened to almost all of it tends to be the entire life story of every single actor who has a line or more than thirty non-consecutive seconds of screen time, with only an occasional nod to relatively basic film analysis or insight into the creation of the actual movie he's commenting on.

Skyscraper posted:I don't know if you'd consider it recent enough, but Kairo is a great movie. That's a very obvious one I somehow didn't think of, I'll have to check it out. Brain Curry posted:Maybe My Little Eye? I think I watched that around the same time I was watching The Den and Darknet. Thanks for the suggestions.

Just got back from seeing Green Room and it was great. Very tight and extremely intense thriller. Also brutal as hell, Jeremy Saulnier knows how to direct some crazy violence.

Thanks, thread, for The Invitation recommendation. I love slow-burn paranoid psychological horror so I really enjoyed it. Once it earns its premise, the final act was more tense than I can remember being watching a film in quite a while. Regarding the ending: I can see how it would seem tonally off to some, but the reveal got a good reaction out of me. The shot of the hills doesn't break tone - if it kept zooming out to show tons and tons of lanterns in the hills, maybe, but that one neighborhood I can buy. I love how they kept bringing up little things to throw you off, like the boyfriend showing up late, or the people coming to the wrong house, which makes more sense at the end reveal. All I could think once they got out of the house was how lucky Claire is for getting out early, assuming she's alive. As for the Jonestown-esque drinks as part of the cult, I think it subverts the cliche because they were unwitting participants. Had everyone been on board, sure, but the fact that they were being inducted without knowing it (and then forced once they found out) was really where the horror came from for me. It's definitely one of those movies that's better going in not knowing anything about it.

Does anyone know what the little girl said in Baskin just as the cops were headed through the grove to the house? That's the only part that wasn't sub-titled. Sounded like French to me.

Once it earns its premise, the final act was more tense than I can remember being watching a film in quite a while. You're right - I wish I'd known nothing about the movie going into it. Knowing that things would go south removed so much of the uncertainty about whether Will's delusions were justified or not. It became a matter of when poo poo would hit the fan, not if. I felt like I knew more than the characters throughout, whereas I would have loved to be lulled into the same sense of false security as well. Really enjoyed it in spite of this though. Oh, and sorry - Claire's definitely dead

Watched Hush last night. That was just a very good, tight thriller. The strongest part is everything from the initial murdering against the glass door all the way until he iMessages her the pics of her looking at her laptop. It's never quite as tense after that, but it was still really good.

Oh and I was pleased at how realistic and well done all of the technical elements were done in Hush. When she attempts to connect to the neighbor's wi-fi and gets prompted for credentials I laughed.
