Re: Abigail I mean I recognized Matthew Goode and he's a good actor who isnt some nobody, it was just a silly scene and he looked stupid as gently caress. They should've gotten Michael Shannon so he could've vamped as hard as he did for Bullet Train where he's basically Vicious from Cowboy Bebop.

I would be sad Crystal Lake got canceled if the buzz about it was "there is so much nudity in the scripts no streaming service would touch it" or "during filming two actors got coated in gallons of fake blood that dried and they had to call paramedics to peel them off the floor" or "they invented a whole new kind of computerized prop machete that could collapse at any angle and communicated with smart squibs that fired blood in response to the contact the machete made with the actor's body". "sad and beautiful" makes me glad it's not happening.

The only buzz I'd wanna hear is "the practical effects guys have been whispering about 'something special' and won't let us into their trailer 'until it's ripe'."

Turn away from Tarot, but someone take one for the team and let me know if that new Strangers film is at least Okay. Enough to moviepass.

Gonna go see it on Friday, so I'll be the canary in the coalmine unless someone gets to it first. And yeah, don't spend money on Tarot. Forgettable and pretty dull.

Yeah, they explained exactly what was going to happen to everyone in the first ten minutes the rest was pointless. The Fool and The Magician were cool but they needed to do more with all the other bits, there was no consistency at all.

At the time I felt like I was the only person disappointed in Hannibal dude getting the Friday the 13th show because I knew it would not be the vibe I'd be into. Loved Hannibal but didn't have high hopes for Jason to get done right.

Corman was one of a kind and I always loved there was a guy out there who would give young filmmakers an opportunity because he needed a Jurassic Park/Star Wars/Alien ripoff and needed it yesterday. Different time. Obviously lots of greatness has come out of those opportunities. And lots of charm and creativity in those ripoffs as well.

Has anyone seen The Coffee Table (La mesita del comedor)? It's sorta horror I guess, wikipedia calls it a black comedy which I can see. There's nothing quite like it, I think.

Something I loved about Bucket of Blood when I saw it for the first time recently is how the beatnik type characters at the coffee shop are for the most part pretty cool and decent people (outside of maybe being a little high on their own supply) when it would have been real low hanging fruit to make them a bunch of cruel jerkwads the audience could hate.

The amount of tension and dread it builds is absolutely amazing and from the start of The Incident I couldn't stop thinking "how the gently caress are they going to wrap this up"? Turns out (not really a spoiler) exactly how I thought they would, the only way they can  Hard recommend to anyone. My wife just couldn't stand the way the mom laughs lol. e: I was also recommended it as a "black comedy" which I think is an insane mis-categorization. If I squint I guess I can see it for some parts but ... I will think something is very wrong with you if you laugh throughout this movie.  Go into this movie blind, don't look it up if you don't already know

Watched Abigail last night. Thought they did a good job in the first act of setting up the premise but then it was just kind of ... mid? I think they could have dropped about 20 minutes and tightened it up a bit. Agree the final reveal felt goofy and unearned. It did get a few chuckles out of me and some of the kills were neat. Wouldn't recommend but it's not a bad time. e: and #rip to the goofy stoner kid in the cast that died. Looks like he was only 25 : / fullroundaction fucked around with this message at 14:39 on May 12, 2024 |

huh posted:Has anyone seen The Coffee Table (La mesita del comedor)? It's sorta horror I guess, wikipedia calls it a black comedy which I can see. Yep! Really liked it, really can't recommend it lightly (can't at all to parents), absolutely stunned Amazon listed horror as the third/final genre for it (below, in order, Comedy and Drama) If you want to see it go in blind and expect minimum an hour of tension Also I just finished Last Stop in Yuma County Chris James 2 posted:Infested briefly made me scared of spiders, though I will say there was a missed opportunity by having only one hulking behemoth, but I guess you gotta save something for a sequel. Definitely see why Raimi looked at this and wanted the director to make an Evil Dead Good loving times holy poo poo  can't wait to see Galluppi's Evil Dead. Very tense, an old-school gunfight showdown, and a wild but believable escalation to its tragic ending. Loved it

I watched it a few days ago, and cannot stop thinking about it. I absolutely loved it, though it's sad that I can't really recommend it to anyone I know. Some thoughts: When I first watched it, I feel like I must have been in shock at the Incident, and couldn't "see" the obvious. Meaning, I didn't notice the head under the chair until the scene where Jesus tried to reach for it but couldn't do it. Looking back:
I went into this film blind, so a decapitated baby was the last thing I expected. I am usually pretty good at details, but somehow this film triggered something where I lost all of my normal senses. My wife came down a couple of times while I was watching. Later, she said I looked pale and desperate. She was right. This movie is quite an experience. Oh, and I ended up sleeping next to my daughter that night. She woke up really excited, but had no idea it was because I was traumatized by a film. 80k fucked around with this message at 18:03 on May 12, 2024 |

I was almost the same way (Coffee Table spoilers); when The Incident happens, I knew I saw something else other than glass go across the screen/under the chair specifically, but I didn't put together what until the first or second glimpse at the chair

huh posted:I think the music betrays the grim nature of the movie. Yeah I guess. But he didn’t like, burn the roast when he was having his boss over for dinner or something like that lol. It’s a very good self-insert movie that tells you a lot about yourself depending on what lens you’re looking at the husband through. I was panicking and also could FEEL his entire soul being completely panicked and numb and hopeless all at the same time. Great acting. The thing it reminded me of most was Rope by Hitchcock, except I never got fully invested in that like I did this movie.

Flying Zamboni posted:Yeah it rules! If you haven't seen it yet, Quatermass and the Pit is by the same writer working with Hammer and is also really good. Kneal was also approached to write an episode of The X-Files, which makes sense when you think about how Quatermass and The Pit and The Stone Tape are procedural science-horror, but he refused.
