Defleshed posted:Anyone else plumbing the hilariously bad depths of Netflix instant lately? Yes. Recently watched Asylum and Tooth Fairy. Both are your standard level of B movie suck. Tooth Fairy has some entertaining kills and standard inept police. Asylum is repetitive and you forget which scene you are watching when the villain is on screen. It actually had a good concept but just falls on it's face.

So, I just got done watching Magic Magic. Can someone give me their take on it so maybe it'll make some more sense?

axleblaze posted:I take Magic Magic as essentially a companion piece to Take Shelter. Take Shelter is the story of a man who has a good but simple life and his emerging schizophrenia manages to almost destroy everything he has but he manages to get through with the help of a loving family. It's schizophrenia emerging in ideal conditions but things are still a struggle and it's hard for him to live his life and keep his friends. I like this interpretation better than my own I believe. I was looking at it as a story of peer pressure and acceptance. Alicia feels outside of the group and excluded because she can't speak Spanish. She's treated like a burden for the most part. Then there's the hypnosis angle, the group attempting to control Alicia. When they all go to jump off the rocks you can hear one of the characters say "you'll be one of us". So in the end I imagined her perceived death as a metaphor for not conforming and becoming permanently separate from the group. I did watch this back to back with Suspiria so I could have still been reeling from that soundtrack in headphones.

Has anyone seen the trailer for Lock-In? It's a Christian found footage about a haunted titty magazine. Seeing the trailer I'm pretty sure they could have passed it off as Grave Encounters 3.

Looks like it will release on January 9th. Only six bucks! About five more than I think I'm willing to pay though.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I do too, but I love it. What's interesting about him is that the feeling of nostalgia I get from him is not from the stuff he talks about, but from James himself. Unlike almost every other Youtube Personality (tm), there's something charming about his naiveté. He wouldn't be out of place on public access and I find that very entertaining. I've always liked his movie stuff and always looked forward to October for it. It's nice to have someone just talk about movies they loved as a kid or teen and still remember fondly. No need for analysis or nitpicking. October is still too far

Basebf555 posted:Just don't get addicted to Shout!/Scream! Factory unless you have plenty of disposable income. If you go to their site you'll find about 30 blu rays you'll want to buy and they just keep releasing awesome stuff every month. I've had to limit myself to buying 2 or 3 a year, mostly around Halloween time. My friends got me a Night of the Demons and Motel Hell as gifts and I love the way they look on the shelf. I got a copy of Body Bags to go with them and I'm resisting the the urge to get even more. So pretty though...

Bonk posted:I checked out Holidays the other night and didn't see much talk about it in here. Definitely a mixed bag as many anthologies are, but for the most part it was fun. A few of the segments did nothing for me, some were gloriously insane but didn't make much sense, and Kevin Smith's was funny but really had nothing to do with Halloween. But the far and away standout for me was Father's Day. I haven't seen much interpretation of it anywhere, but it really stayed with me. I loved the slow burning tension and how much they did with relatively little. I definitely have to pay attention to both the director/writer and the lead actress now. I generally hated this movie and thought Kevin Smith's segment was pretty juvenile, but I guess what do you expect. But I agree with loving Father's Day. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Thats why I love anthology films, you can usually take something away from them that was good. Also in the same vein and subject of hard to get DVD releases. I really wish Tales from the Hood would get a new release.

I dunno if it's the circumstances I saw it in or what, but I really love that movie. I love showing it at get togethers for people who don't watch a lot of horror because it always gets a good reaction and people walk away loving it.

So sat down and watched Body Parts again since I hadn't seen it in years. I almost tapped out until I saw Brad Dourif who was just great in it. The last twenty minutes were also so bonkers and fun. I also never noticed how similar Jeff Fahey looked to Michael Keaton in Batman with the curly hair and glasses.

I just finished the first one and realized it was not the one I watched a bunch as a kid, which was part 2. Bummer. Guess after work I'll go buy the set Walmart has out for Halloween.

I was scared of killer dolls for many years. We had the same monkey from the cover of Monkey Shines on a shelf and I used to have nightmares about a 16-inch Elvis doll that wanted to eat me. Maybe I was just weird.

Basebf555 posted:I wonder if maybe they'll use some old footage from Halloween 2 to kinda force the audience to make that direct connection. They could do it just like Halloween 2 did, showing Michael fall off the balcony and then right into the continuation of the story. Except this time with like a 35 year time skip. I'm excited a bit by the idea of ignoring H20 existing because while it's not bad, H20 is real bad at holding my attention and I can barely remember any of it after I watch it.

The only time I liked a later sequel mask is the shot were Michael is illuminated by lightning for a bit and it looks really menacing. I can't remember which of the bad ones that was though. AMC uses that scene a lot for Monsterfest commercials.

Ah yes. My personal most tolerated after Halloween 3. Part IV makes me really nostalgic. Monsterfest got me into horror movies many years ago and they seemed to always have the rights to it. I hate that they've gradually shortened their marathon down to like a week in favor of running all of The Walking Dead.
