Got my ticket for Saturday at the Alamo. Looks like it's only playing at two theaters in KC, but it's playing regularly for at least the next week at those two.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:but this movie's pacing is like... super super hosed The post-title section definitely moved faster than the pre-title section. But to me it seemed appropriate. The first half needed the slowness to build the characters and establish the stakes. Then BAM the title hits and it's time to get down to business. The second half simply needed to be a kinetic, balls to the wall payoff.

I just read an interview with Cosmatos where he reveals that he originally planned for Cage to play Jeremiah, not Red

Basebf555 posted:I think my favorite shot of the movie was right before the initial attack, when the light kinda rises up through the forest and you see the silhouettes of the bikers and the cult standing there amongst the trees. Hard to choose just one favorite shot though. I had forgotten about that one specifically. Wonderful shot. I can't wait to revisit this to just bask in the visuals.

Something I'm not 100% sure about after reflecting on the movie: the evil biker dudes are just people, right? Not demons? The scene where they were "summoned" sure played like a Hellraiser scene. But I like the idea that they're just evil dudes hosed up on zany LSD, because otherwise it kinda legitimizes the crazy cult's supernatural leanings.

King of Bleh posted:In what proportion is this movie actually scary, vs just weird and violent and gonzo? I'm considering whether I can drag my horror-averse girlfriend to a screening. She's okay with violence and gore, but jump scare or anxiety-inducing type stuff is out. So, bits similar to Hobo With a Shotgun which was mentioned upthread = Good, but stuff akin to a James Wan film = Bad. It's not "boo" scary as much as "approaching hell on an acid trip" scary.

Free Drinks posted:Seeing as it's only 15$ Amazon to preorder I'm 100% willing to toss that much down the well even if I somehow end up hating it (I can't see how I could be anymore than disappointed). If you think you'll like it based on the trailer, you'll like it.

Pirate Jet posted:Weird question but is there any nudity in this movie? I’m not a perv, but I plan on taking a friend who’s a sexual abuse survivor, and even scenes of nudity can freak her out a little. I’d just check the MPAA but it’s not even rated. I know you got your answer but I just wanted to reiterate: this would not be a good movie for her.

ShortyMR.CAT posted:Where the hell did anyone find a theater showing this? I looked all over San Diego and couldn't find any I would have loved to watch this with an audience in the room. It's playing at least through the end of the month here in KC ShortyMR.CAT posted:I had the next best thing tho, my fiance, my buddy, my cousin and his 4k tv and about 20 cheap beers. The drunker I got the crazier this movie became. I sure hope you meant 20 beers each. Otherwise that's only 5 each, which is simply not enough beers. Not enough beers at all.

Flying Zamboni posted:The last shot of the film reinforces this. Red exists completely in the kind of fantasy that Mandy reads and draws. To honor her he becomes a figure of her fantasies (desires?). I like it.

It's starting to bug me how people (mostly on other forums) keep saying they weren't completely sure who was in the sleeping bag. Any confusion people are having is based on assumptions they conjured up themselves, not by anything the movie presented.

Eh, I suppose I could see there being a brief moment of uncertainty. But yeah when you watch the scene there's definitely no doubt.

Yes I believe it is. The only reason I'd hesitate to buy that (aside from the price) is that it wouldn't fit on my Blu-ray shelf.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I think it's fair to say that there's more than one thing that can pull you in about Mandy, and if you're just there for one of those things you're probably not gonna be fond of the others. You've gotta be a little bit Criterion and a little bit Scream Factory.
