I’ve seen Sleepaway Camp before but I just rewatched it anyway. All I really remembered was the ending and Aunt Martha, so it was a nice surprise that the rest of the film is mostly very good. Judy is awful, both the character and the actress who plays her. I love how the counselor’s first reaction to the infamous ending is oh my god, she’s a boy! and not HOLY poo poo SHE JUST SAWED THAT KID’S HEAD OFF

I can't connect right now from my work laptop, and I was on earlier in the day.

The 'Burbs is the first of these films that I haven't seen before, so I watched it last night. I enjoyed it, the tone is bizarre but I expected that becauseFranchescanado posted:it's a Joe Dante movie  There are a lot of over the top funny moments like that where it feels really cartoonish, in a good way.I'd agree that it isn't quite a horror movie, but it's horror-adjacent and tonally is similar to Dante's actual horror films so that's close enough for me. It really made me want to watch Gremlins 2 again. Also I totally thought Henry Gibson was Udo Kier for at least 5 minutes. gey muckle mowser fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Jan 10, 2019 |

Basebf555 posted:I feel like Feldman was playing like some trickster god in this movie actually. He seemed like he always knew what was gonna happen in advance and was kinda just enjoying the proceedings in that way that old gods are often portrayed. Plus he gets the fourth wall breaking moment at the end. It's like the whole street is a goofy sitcom and he and his friends are the audience.

I loving love Candyman. I've seen it a couple times but it's been at least a few years so I think I'll try to find a copy this weekend.

Windows 98 posted:Sure some things didn’t add up, like why bees were so nearby in a city, and why a slave was murdered 25 years after slavery was abolished, but that’s ok. I mean it's been 150 years now and black people are still getting murdered for being black, it is very easy to see how someone who was literally a slave earlier in their life would get murdered at that time.

I really disliked the ‘82 Cat People. It’s got some nice cinematography (especially in the dream sequences) and some nice creature/gore effects, but also a lot of uncomfortable incest-themed sexuality. I don’t mind sex in movies but it felt gross and unnecessary in this one.

Lurdiak posted:Probably the last culturally relevant Dracula film ever made umm, someone clearly hasn't seen Argento's Dracula 3D I loving love Dracula movies. I have about 30 different ones in my collection right now, although that's counting any movie with Dracula as a character so there are some in there that have virtually nothing to do with the original story, like The Return of Dracula (1958) or Blood of Dracula's Castle (1969) (both of which are pretty terrible). Even with the bad ones though I enjoy seeing how different actors and filmmakers interpret the characters.

Lurdiak posted:Doesnt that mean you have Blade 3 and Van Helsing? actually, no I don't have either of those. I've seen them but it's been quite a while. I do however own Dracula 2000 and it's sequels.

You should also check out Seijun Suzuki if you like classic Japanese cinema. Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter both rule. Super stylish and fun Yakuza/action films. if you need convincing check out this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6e9mowbmys
