Factor Mystic posted:Huh, not bad, but not mind blowing. I can't tell if it would've been better if they didn't tell us what was going on right off the bat. There were a few spots where, the second time I watched the movie - I did a double-take and had to stop and go, "hey wait, there'es no loving way any human could have done that! What is going on?" Rhyno posted:Other than Groundhog Day I'm stressing to think of another movie where the entire timeline cycles. Then again, the "oh no I'm a ghost and stuck in the real world where nobody can see me and I can barely touch anything or communicate" comes remarkably close to the same overall storyline ie man versus the world, where the character has to divine the limitations of their circumstances and then use it. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Sep 26, 2014 |

Strontosaurus posted:I hate that another movie called The Signal came out because this is one of my most-recommended films of all-time. "On a road trip, Nic and two friends are drawn to an isolated area by a computer genius"  damned computer geniuses luring innocent people into isolated areas! Those bastards how dare they!?"

Conduit for Sale! posted:Toad Road. I really liked it. I'm bad at describing things but I don't feel like it needs a whole lot of explaining. It's a hybrid documentary/horror movie. There's a lot of (real) drugs. I think it'll probably be more poignant for people who have a history with drugs. But I think it's worth watching for everyone else. I have never seen anything quite like it. Also, I really liked Shrooms.

Skyscraper posted:Odd Thomas is aggressively terrible. I dislike Dean Koontz but I'm usually of the opinion that he can hit one or two decent horror notes per book, but Odd Thomas is utterly without merit. I have to imagine the book was better than that to actually get funding for a movie. The idea behind Odd Thomas the book was kind of solid however, once you've read a few Koontz' books, you realize that they're all just fluff pre-written to be put onto a movie script. Although I thought Hideaway was a great book (when I was 14 or so) he movie was kind of a great example of what happens when Koontz gets (another) film treatment. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Jul 2, 2015 |

Snak posted:The no adults thing is pretty clever. The person I watched the movie with didn't even realize the whole thing was a metaphor for sex, and the physical and emotional dangers that are associated with it, until we talked about it the next day. The fact that the movie is about teenagers trying to allay their fears by having sex with each other even though they don't fully understand the rules or potential consequences, and they have no role models to turn to, is genius. It Follows is literally just stripping everything else away form every teen fright film over the last like 30-40 years. When I'm watching the movie and thinking that it's a frame without form, I'm bored.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Got a few more blind watches lined up, next up will be Unfriended. Blind watches are the best watches. gently caress trailers. If more than a few people seem to like it on IMDB and the one sentence synopsis seems remotely interesting, that's good enough for me. Picture of a 13 year-old girl crying, under "UNFRIENDED". I think that I've seen enough

Coffeehitler posted:Watched this and, what the hell. So (entire movie summation/spoiler) He's Lucifer, the town is full of absolutely terrible people/psychopaths, she's a bit nutty from being kidnapped and raped a bunch as a kid and they fall in love at the end? I'm just happy to see Davos get a happy ending.

I watched The Collectorand The Collection the other day and I'm glad I got to see them side by side. They were both completely ludicrously over the top to the point I broke into laughter a few times (my defensive reaction to my own discomfort at some body-horror scenes, and because it was super ridiculous). I'd recommend doing them back to back though to keep continuity between them. I'm still trying to figure out how the gently caress that guy snuck into the house and set up all that poo poo in the space of like, one long evening after the contracting crew left their job site, in the first movie though.

Came across a new movie called The Survivalist, about a man scraping to survive in a never-described apocalyptic setting. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2580382/ I'm not sure why it's rated so low on IMDB, possibly because it's a lot like The Road in that there's almost no dialogue, and a lot of harsh, ugly poo poo happens. The main plot is about the man meeting two women, and all three of them trying to figure out how to survive, and what hard choices they have to make. None of them ever really trust each other for most of the movie and once they do begin to trust, it gets worse. It's not really horror although there are some really hard to watch scenes and some of your standard post-apoc stuff comes up here and there which definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat, and it's super bleak. I would strongly recommend it, even the coathanger abortion scene was really well done, because they relieved a lot of the tension and discomfort by cutting back and forth to a hare about to take the bait from a bear trap. A lot better than The Road, imho (largely because the road was a badly televised version of the novel with a bunch of dumb poo poo added in), I hadn't realized how long I'd been tensed up and holding my breath until the movie was over. Nominated for a BAFTA for outstanding directorial debut, and also won three different film awards as well. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Mar 21, 2016 |

I'd say Hard Times was a massively horrifying movie but it is probably because the crazed ex marine in that movie was basically my old best friend except without a dog and with less strip clubs

Man it must be really rough to be a fragile white person these days and flip out every time you feel *personally attacked* by an allegorical piece of media about racism - especially when you would "otherwise have loved" something. Where were you guys when Elvis' (black-inspired) haircut was being shorn off? Oh yeah you were literally writing letters to the president about how it was an atrocity..! Where were all of these butt-hurt defensive people up in arms for blind people and morlocks, when Plato was talking about people chained up inside of a cave and unable to look toward the light? Oh yeah they were too advantaged to give a drat coyo7e fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Jun 25, 2017 |

Ulio posted:Is The Game with Michael Douglas with this category? I don't know if I should watch it but I am a fan of Fincher. But seriously just go watch The Cable Guy, it's got a better soundtrack, and is smarter.
