I just watched Hell House LLC and agree it did not warrant a sequel. They go whole ham and overfocus on scares rhat could benefit from a bit of subtlety and add weird mystery to details that dont benefit from obfuscation. Plus the whole ending sucked.

Coppola's Dracula opener is pretty memorable and does a perfect job estsblishing the tone and aesthetic the rest of the film follows, but I am reluctant to call it or any other aspect of that film "good."

Hereditary was a masterpiece and I will never watch it ever again.

I know this isnt quite the right place for it but Haunting of Hill House was also extremely good.

Gopro hiker youtuber guy werewolf movie. he gets bit and keeps hiking and later reviews his footage in horror as it turns out he turned into a monster and ate a bunch of campers on that night he couldnt remember.

1. There just aren't enough werewolf movies out there, and
2. A found footage film predominantly from the monster's perspective might breathe a little life into a lovely subgenre I typically don't enjoy.

Minus the werewolf part, this is kind of what happens in Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.

Aster:There's really no jump scares in the film, maybe one or two.
Dowd: What are those?
Aster: Which scenes are jump scares?
Dowd: No, what is a jump scare?
Aster: It's like a scene that serves to startle the audience. Like something just jumps at the screen or there is a loud noise.
Dowd: Oh, there are quite a few of those in the movie.

Lmao Ann Dowd rules

Dracula wasnt the historical Vlad Dracul Tepes III, neither Mina nor Lucy were his reincarnated loves and he was at most an impassively horny real estate speculator.

This is Rob Lowe Salems Lot Miniseries Erasure.

e: and that's mostly a good thing

ee: lmao

"In his memoir, Love Life, Rob Lowe stated that Rutger Hauer showed up on set and did not know his lines. Lowe said, "I once starred in a big miniseries that culminated with the villain giving a two-page monologue trying to goad me into killing him. The actor playing the bad guy wanted to ad lib his own version of the movie-ending speech. Although he was playing a vampire, he went into a soliloquy about being a cowboy. The director was not impressed. After a very tense negotiation, the actor was forced to poo poo-can his self-penned opus and stick to the original script. There was only one problem: He hadn't bothered to learn it." Lowe went on to state that cue cards were placed next to Lowe's head and Hauer read the lines to him."

the logical inconsistencies and broken narrative of The Shining is why it's great, i think. as soon as you start picking up on it, the conflicting details are relentless and you realise it all contributes to this horrible weird fever dream. it is a movie that gets better the more you watch it

That's an interesting way to look at it. I think any other director who didn't have this crafted legacy of being a visionary perfectionist weirdo savant would be labeled inconsistent and a poor editor with some of the same choices.

No Country is a horror film, but the monster is a cold, uncaring universe where death is random and you have no control over events

What about a Dracula with NO facets to his character?

Is he mad? Scared? Hurt? Horny? Who knows? He doesn't.

I have not worked out the dates, but the possibility that the movie served as an elaborate intervention by Wright for his Alcoholic buddy Pegg intrigues me.

That is a potentially nice little piece of trivia but doesnt make the film any less mediocre to watch as an end product.

Stephen King's works typically rely on either a Magical Black Person or a Magical Intellectually Disabled Person. Scholars and critics debate on whether his magnum opus is either The Stand, which contains both, or The Green Mile, wherein they are one in the same person.

All Canadian Rushmores by law, regardless of field, include the single most influential person in their field and then the members of Rush, so the fact that we can only think of Cronenberg is not a problem.

Chucky is too inextricably linked to the 80s for weed in his universe to function as anything less than a gateway drug, so while smoking him out might get you away the first time, by the next time you face him he will have evolved into PCP Chucky, and you are hosed

I agree you should never recast an iconic character. Sean Connery would make a fine Bond to this day.
