Does every Argento movie have out of sync dialogue? That made it really hard for me to get into anything but the kill scenes in Tenebrae and Suspiria

Ruinous. Between the music and heavy stylization the kill scenes sucked me right in too

Franchescanado posted:I've never been bothered by bad ADR, especially for Italian flicks, so I don't really get how that can take you out of a flick, but you could always watch them in the original Italian with subtitles, which I find way more distracting in horror than lip syncing. I did watch Suspiria in Italian fwiw. I prefer original language to dubs, which I find more distracting than subtitles Pomp fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Dec 18, 2018 |

A Spider Covets posted:God I love The Shining. It's one of those films where you notice something new every time. This last watch, I noticed that in the ballroom scene, wherein almost no one in the background is actually talking, the band isn't playing, either. Little details like that add so much to further viewings. I bounced off the shining like 3 times until I picked up that Jack didn't give a poo poo about his family from the start, then I was instantly enthralled

Levantine posted:I'm trying to watch as much slow burn stuff as I can get my hands on right now. I'm not big on gore or (unearned) jump scares, but I like a movie that either sets a mood or ramps up the intensity. Lake Mungo is probably one of my favorite, but I watched Savageland today which was pretty brilliant considering how so much of it was told through still photographs. I finally got around to The Invitation as well and I thought that was just a fantastic film from start to finish. I love the documentary style film so what else should I look for? I've seen Hell House LLC recently too which was just fantastic. I'm pretty late to the party on a lot of these movies so any suggestions would be awesome. Hereditary

david_a posted:Looking at the Canadian schedule I was a little taken back at some of the titles - Eastern Promises, Enemy, No Country for Old Men, Only God Forgives... I don’t know how the US schedule differs (maybe those titles are way cheaper to get in Canada) but I wouldn’t label any of those movies as primarily “horror.” Not sure what’s going on over there. 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

Also have his whiny buddy Benny come back and then ally himself with that movie's monster each time with no explanation for how he got out alive the last time. Benny is the best part of the movie. Whatever that accent that actor is going for is, it alone elevates every scene he's in Pomp fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Jan 10, 2019 |

Windows 98 posted:I tuned into Shudder TV to catch the end of Maniac while laying down for a nap. After Maniac they started to play Tenebre, which I haven't seen before. It starts to roll and all of a sudden my ears immediately recognized the theme song, because Justice sampled it for their song Phantom on their Cross album in 2007. That has been one of my favorite all time albums since its release and I am just now realizing this because I hadn't seen Tenebre. This poo poo blew my mind, guys. I feel like my whole life is a lie. I seriously listen to this album at least once a week in the car and had no idea. I keep hearing the garth marengi theme in this, which I guess makes sense actually

In the Mouth Of Madness did was effective at making it seem like the world was ending just outside the edges of the story the acting was awkward tho, which was odd given the talent in both the director and actors

Davros1 posted:My favorite John Carpenter's stories come from Showtime's Masters of Horror. When the producers got in touch about doing an ep, his wife told them that she wasn't sure he'd do it, since all he does now (2005) is eat fried chicken and play video games. Then when the producers got a hold of Carpenter himself, he had reservations. Those reservations being he wasn't sure he wanted to get up at 6:00am for 10 days.

I watched Tenebre again. The ADR wasn't as distracting now that I expected it, so I was able to actually get into it. I'm not sure what Argento was trying to say about feminist critique of his films? The vibe I got was that he accepts that his films glamorize violence against women, and could potentially fuel a specific violently misogynistic worldview, but that he chooses not to care? In addition, this outfit rules
