His movies look really good, they hide their budget, and they're basically dreams put to film. That's a triple whammy of good in my book. alansmithee posted:So if there's no other suggestions, I'll be checking out The Eyes of My Mother, The Creeping Terror, and...the Untold Story.

Hopefully you write about the ideas and themes of The Creeping Terror and not the behind-the-scenes catastrophe, because the former would be much more interesting.

What I enjoy about his movies (aside from the naked women and pretty scenery) is their atmosphere. Ethereal and dreamlike is how I'd describe it.

Any major classics you've shamefully never seen, like Hellraiser or a newer one like It Follows? Baskin and The Eyes of My Mother are my go-to recommendations but I'll throw them in again. And yes, I see this as an opportunity to get someone to see a great horror movie so all my recommendations are with that in mind.

I would have watched Baskin already, but subtitles are hard when you've got a < 1 year old on your hands. And I'll throw in Eyes of my Mother, since I think that's already in my queue.

So for my first punishment viewing... The Eyes of My Mother This review is gonna be a bit all over the place because I'm still not sure what to make of this movie. Also there will likely be some spoiler-y things as well, so if you've not seen it it may be good to not read further. I'm fairly sure it's a good movie. I think it deserves another viewing, but I'm not sure if I actually want to watch it again. It's not a particularly pleasant viewing experience, in many ways. The movie is quite beautiful, and there's some amazing shots. But there's also a lot of extremely uncomfortable and grotesque scenes. There's a ton of stuff that seems unanswered, that lends the movie a very dreamlike, surreal quality. Why is someone who was a surgeon in Portugal living on a farm in rural America? Francisca herself seems to have been slightly off even prior to her mother's death (I wondered if this indicated child abuse, but the signs are so vague it's hard to tell). The time period is also indistinct. It's hard to tell if the farm they live on is set in the 50's/60's, or if it's just the home itself that's in the past. Most of the violence occurs off-screen, or out of direct view. Yet, it doesn't lose any of the impact (similar to how in Texas Chainsaw Massacre you feel like you've seen a lot more of the violence than is actually shown). You always just see the aftermath (body parts being bagged, the aftermath of Charlie/Lucy's capture). If I were to compare it to anything, it would be some Antichrist/Henry hybrid. Francisca isn't nearly as dispassionate at killing as Henry, although there is a lot of the same immoral aspect to how she goes about her actions (especially since she doesn't always kill her victims). At times she's almost sympathetic, but never quite reaches that threshold-you can see what might have made her the way she is, but her actions are too extreme to be able to overlook. As I said that was a bit rambly and there's a ton more I could probably say but I'm still somewhat processing the movie (and I may edit some more in later). It's undoubtedly very powerful, and interesting, and I'm glad I watched it. Just not sure if I'll ever go back again. Next up will be The Creeping Terror. edit-Had a bit of time to think about this, and the more I do the more I believe that it genuinely has the chance to be a classic. It's almost like a fairy tale-there's an unreality about everything that persists despite how clearly and crisply the movie is shot. It's not hard to see parents scaring their children about crazy Francisca living on the barn in the woods, kidnapping people to remake the family she had taken from her. The extreme violence and depravity of her acts aren't even out of place as traditional fairy tales are filled with all sorts of violence and cruelty. Above I compared Francisca to Henry, but in hindsight that's not really correct. She only really killed when people tried to leave her (despite agreeing that it feels amazing). She's something altogether different. Her motives are fairly clear, although it's not entirely certain how exactly she got to the place she's at. alansmithee fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Jun 15, 2017 |

I also fell short of my goal and am willing to review things as penance. I have no hang ups about movies. Being on streaming is nice but I'm willing to dig for physical copies of things.

Hellraiser and An American Werewolf in London are available on Netflix, just as a few examples.

I believe there was unnecessary added CGI to her face and there was some minor CGI clean ups of effects. Edit: Oh and the ghost mom at the end and some.demon faces showing up in objects. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jun 14, 2017 |

It's noticable at the end where Reagan's face is demon like. http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=5706806 Here's the full differences although it doesn't have the effects clean up stuff. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Jun 14, 2017 |

I'd hardly consider it a major problem, the only one that I'd say takes away from the movie is Karras' mother appearing, but that's pretty minor. It's not like there's a fully CGI Pazuzu jumping around the room or anything like that.
