Is it number of different cats thrown or number of times a cat is thrown? If the latter, The Tomb of Ligeia might win.

Aside from Angel Heart, are there any great horror films about a detective/police officer who goes to investigate a mystery and finds something supernatural? I guess In the Mouth of Madness sort of works in the same vein.

I remember bouncing off pretty hard on The Editor the first time I watched it because all of its jokes seemed to boil down to, "gialli sure are violent and misogynistic, am I right, fellas?" Which is fine when you're doing a short film, I guess, but not enough to fill a feature. Maybe it deserves another shot.

Kvlt! posted:Awww man I loving LOVED the Love Witch, it was one of my fav movies of that year but it is definitely not a horror movie by any stretch of the imagination. Yeah, I think The Love Witch suffered from being touted as a brilliant horror parody even though it has barely anything to do with the genre. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but if you're familiar with the melodramas it's referencing, there's definitely some fun to be had. If you want real garbage, watch Viva, the same director's parody of Russ Meyer's work, which somehow manages to be less entertaining than even the worst Russ Meyer film (and the man made some horrible films).

david_a posted:Not technically horror, but you should maybe check out the Russian film Gruz 200 (Cargo 200) as well. It has more than a few similarities to William Faulkner's Sanctuary if that tells you anything. Yeah, Gruz 200 is great. It's Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer if Henry was an entire nation.

If offensive humour doesn't bother you, Street Trash is a way better film than Body Melt on just about every level, and if it does bother you, you probably should skip both.

Windows 98 posted:I am doing a project regarding old horror films. Going through hundreds of Melies and Lumiere films right now. Check out this one I just stumbled upon, I uploaded it to YouTube for you all. Grim as gently caress for 1899. That one's part of a larger series Méliès did on the Dreyfus affair. Very interesting from a historical perspective since it's one of the earliest still surviving docudramas and also one of the earliest films with a political agenda (Méliès sought to defend Dreyfus, who was awaiting his trial when shooting started).

Basebf555 posted:That's actually a pretty impressive cut for 1895, I missed it the first time and had to go back to catch it. All the more impressive since it's presumed to be the first cut in film history. Windows 98 posted:Yeah it doesn't look too shabby. I am going through a ridiculous amount of effort to source all my content from the highest quality source available. So these uploads I am putting up are the best quality you are going to probably find these films in, since I have not compressed them in any way. I will likely leave them up until I am done with the first episode of the web series. Thanks. Seeing this in a non-pixelated version is pretty cool.

Windows 98 posted:The "camera tests" which were Edison's first films look more or less like blobs of light. It's funny how technology works out sometimes. The Scottish doctor Macintyre made a short in 1899 which was meant to show off the capabilities of the X-ray, but due to the limited quality, it now looks less like an educational film and more like an avant-garde masterpiece.

Kvlt! posted:i heard the same thing about john waters and tbh id prefer a new waters movie to a new carpenter one IIRC, the issue with Waters is that he specifically said he has no interest in making a new film unless it's a multi-million dollar production, because he feels it wouldn't feel right to shoot a low-budget film now that he's become a millionaire. And the number of producers who'd want to hand a big blockbuster to Waters is presumably rather tiny.

The film whose release is closest to my birth date is Cool as Ice. I don't know how to feel about that. The closest horror film is Two Evil Eyes, which I've never seen. It's a collaboration between Argento and Romero though, so I should probably rectify that.

Yeah, it's quite good. Also one of the few horror films I know with a last-minute twist that actually enriches the narrative instead of serving as a cheap way to provide a final scare.

Can't wait to slay some demons with famous Hungarian composer Franz Liszt.K. Waste posted:edit: I realize that lots of people find the whole "the true monster is man" genre tired, but with Irreversible it actually falls into that closely related category of "there is no monster." Le Tenia does not actually exist. Well, of course he doesn't actually exist. It's just a movie, duh.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Gremlins 2 is easily the best sequel of all time. I'd say it's a toss-up between it and Master of the Flying Guillotine. Tuxedo Catfish posted:It's interesting to me how in many creative industries there seems to be a complex relationship between sophistication (and amount of funding) and quality that is proportionate at first, then falls dramatically and eventually levels off once you pass a certain point. That's probably due to risk aversion more so than anything. The times when studios would give someone like Francis Ford Coppola unlimited funding to shoot his mad vision in Vietnam is sadly past.

Neo Rasa posted:Apocalypse Now gets a pass because of the timing - the indigenous people were going to kill the cow in that way at that time and had decided to do so independently of Apocalypse Now being filmed, Coppola just filmed what they were already doing. I don't think that's the issue though, the animals in Cannibal Holocaust were killed quickly and eaten afterwards as well. What people object to is the depiction of a real killing in and of itself.

There was definitely a time when you could put some blood and breasts in your low-budget horror film and a niche audience would lap it up regardless of quality. I don't know if that kind of audience still exists though, at least in large enough quantities to make such films financially viable. It feels like the Internet with its easy access to sex and violence would have killed that business model.
