no no no no no Both Cube sequels are completely terrible, especially Zero. Watched Lady in Black yesterday for the first time. Enjoyed it but I hope they change a ton of stuff up for the remake, including the ending, or it's just not going to be that interesting.

I really liked The Deaths of Ian Stone. I don't think it fits into this thread, but I'll just say it's at least worth giving a try.

I thought the hole was pretty awful. It's one of those movies that the moment they start revealing everything you've got it all figured out and just have to sit through things that should be obvious.

The Saddest Rhino posted:The first part of Martyrs work pretty well as a psychological thriller. Then you reach the second part where all the cult members appear and suddenly it becomes both incredibly stupid and gory. The plot is literally written just for the gore factor. In order to discover what the afterlife is, crazy people need to repeatedly torture and skin a girl alive so that she can be put under as much torment as possible to have the eyes to see what lies on the other side. There is no pay off, no suspense, nothing. I may be one of Martyr's biggest detractors in the Horror Thread any time it comes up, but there is certainly a payoff to what unfolds in the film.

I never got the love for this movie that a lot of people had around when it came out. It felt like a dumbed down version of a lot of other movies. HOWEVER, the DVD ending with fetus Ashton's self-imposed abortion via umbilicus has stuck clearly in my memory since I saw it. Great, ballsy (albeit cut) ending to a mediocre movie.

I think calling out Martyrs for being "bad" because it had some scenes that could be construed as torture porn is infantile. There were a lot of other things wrong with it that made it an uninteresting movie and simply the content at face value wasn't one of them.

Halloween Jack posted:I'm not calling it out as bad for containing torture porn, but rather for not having much payoff as far as I'm concerned. Nah, I wasn't calling you out specifically, more the general hive mind consensus on the film being nothing but garbage torture porn. I actually entirely agree with you on the payoff and two different movies points.

Ya know, I"ve seen pretty much every Lynch movie but Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive and I feel like I need to fix that today.

I really want to watch Mungo again but I feel like I need to show it to somebody else to earn that viewing because it's that good.

Zero violence, one shot of a corpse that's fished out of water.

Jack Gladney posted:I think there's thematic importance there: she was there the whole time plain as day, but they chose to miss what was right under their noses. As far as the people making the documentary, maybe they did see it and included those shots as commentary on the family and their relationship to their daughter? Just reading the description is giving me chills. Yeah, the themes here and throughout the entire movie are really important. It's about dealing with grief. To some it's possible to move on, some need to rationalize what happened, some want to live with the ghosts.

For the longest time I thought that was the most unnecessary part of the film but it's just the opposite because it's the point where it comes to light that no one in the family knows Alice.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Part one of the film is "she's not who they think she is." Part two of the film, after that event, is "they liked not knowing who she was better". That's... Yeah that's a way better way to put it. There's so something really heartbreaking about the quick interviews with the boyfriend. He's the best example of a character who understands he's giving a talking head interview about loving someone who only occasionally existed.

If you've ever dealt with clinical depression, Melancholia could very easily be the scariest movie you've ever seen.

Lord Krangdar posted:Isn't it kind of the opposite, though? If you've dealt with depression you're on familiar territory, but if not you're being made to feel something new and terrifying. For me seeing scenes like her unable to chew food or get out of the bath hit way too close to home because you never see them from a state of mind or a perspective where you're aware of just how terrible they are.

I Know Who Killed Me is hilarious and deserves to go down as a cult film. Everyone watch it.
