COOL CORN posted:So how was it? really really good. acting is all first rate, especially collette and alex wolff. it's hard to seperate the film from the hype a bit. i loved it but it wasnt entirely what i expected. i cant wait to see it again. audience reactions seemed extremely divided. i don't think ive ever seen so many people walk out on a film! those that stayed till the end seemed rapt though. its a weird, deeply strange film. it really lingers with you; i can still see some scenes vividly in my imagination and the emotional heft it has is pretty tops.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:Hereditary was really good for the first 2/3 then the story just wasn't for me. The production and acting were great. The runtime was fine, it's not boring, and if anything I would have preferred less horror. boooo!! more horror in the horror films

The Nun looks cool. she had all the best bits in Conjuring 2, and i like Corin Hardy's other film "The Hallow" a bit.

all this punisher talk and very little punisher warzone appreciation. if you ain't stoned and half-drunk at 3am, watching punisher warzone and loving life, you really need to block out a weekend

Don't say A Serbian Film because honestly it sounds stupid as hell Sympathy for Mr Vengeance isn't really horror but has just a relentless series of hopeless people in terrible situations

LORD OF BOOTY posted:honestly that reading of The Wicker Man makes total sense if you're not approaching the movie from a Christian context. from a non-Christian perspective Howie kind of looks like a tremendous rear end in a top hat who gets owned for being a dickbag. i mean, the Summerisle's actually are sacrificing kids and are seemingly comfortable with it to the point that they think something "more dreadful" is needed to get their God's attention

Fart City posted:re: Bleakchat, I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier, but I'd put The Mist on that list. It's got its fair set of detractors (who are wrong), but the entire movie is based around the central premise that help... just isn't gonna come. And the bad poo poo waiting outside doesn't play favorites and leave innocent and good people alone. The sequence near the end set to The Host Of The Seraphim by Dead Can Dance is one of the bleakest experiences I've ever had in a movie theater, especially when you see the sheer scope of the destruction that has been wrought, and particularly when the webbed-up body of Tom Jane's wife is revealed. The Mist is a good film! but there's too much glee and joi de vivre in the glue holding it all together. similarly, despite incredibly apocalyptic and bleak plots, i don't find The Thing or In The Mouth Of Madness particularly bleak or depressing. it feels like Carpenter and Darabonte had fun making these movies, and that translates to the screen i think

Jedit posted:I'm busy laughing my head off at anyone thinking Mike Oldfield's career got wrecked by Tubular Bells. Oldfield has had a successful career for 45 years and is amazingly well regarded on the folk circuit for a popular electronic musician. He just never took the path to megastardom because he was always in it for the music, and because any time he needs money he can just release a new Tubular Bells album. Hergest Ridge is also some terrific "get blazed and clean the house" music

Stan Taylor posted:On that train of thought though, maybe check out Haneke's Amour. The whole premise is depressing enough that I'm still afraid to watch it. Amour is definitely the least emotionally-harrowing of Haneke's films and it still hits like a sack of rocks

Kvlt! posted:I saw this movie once about a blind woman living in an apartment and i remember something about a cop? Someone was menacing her. I forget the name of the movie but it was like a 60s movie i think and it was really good so thats the best one with a disabled protaganist it's from the 2000's, but were you thinking maybe of Dancer in the Dark, a Lars von Trier film with Bjork and David Morse as the menacing policeman? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancer_in_the_Dark a pretty bleak film!

a recent jump scare that got me was the witch on top of the wardrobe in the conjuring. man, that gave me the willies for some reason also that projector scene in new It was tremendous. best scene in that film by a country mile.

Kvlt! posted:The whole "buildup" to a jumpscare where the music goes loud and then suddenly goes quiet and the jump scare happens is lame i totally agree. i think if you're the sort of person that listens to musical cues in films, you're going to be annoyed a lot of the time with jump scares. there's a great scene in The Wailing, where a guy in a forest encounters the demon feeding on a deer. then it turns and looks at him and crawls towards him. at one point it disappears behind a rock, and you think it's going to be a jump scare moment, but then it slowly re-appears and keeps crawling towards the camera. they replace the jump scare with more buildup and dread, so you never get that release of tension. really great! another one i really liked recently was in It Follows, when the tall man comes through the door. just terrific, because there's the initial misdirection of the other girl entering first. also the diner scene from Mulholland Drive, which plays out like a weird, spelled-out textbook jump scare case study

Almost Blue posted:Man, Masters of Horror is just... not good. A lot of unfulfilled potential. I feel like all the premises are interesting enough, but the writing brings everything down and the execution on most of them is pretty subpar. i agree. describing it as "hit and miss" feels pretty generous, given how many of them are misses. that said, "fever dreams in the witch house" is something i can sit down and watch anytime and always enjoy it.

Untrustable posted:I got a coupon for any rental for 99 cents on Google so I rented Ghost Stories. If you like anthologies it is a pretty solid one. I only have one real gripe about it but I'll let more of ya'll see it first. It's definitely good though. The first segment is legitimately creepy. The whole movie has this feeling of dread and off-ness that I very much enjoyed. Please watch Ghost Stories. a friend of mine recommended this to me at work today so the universe is in synch. i will check it out for sure
