You Are A Elf posted:Then you get to the second installment of the Three Mothers Trilogy (Inferno) and it's a slog. Great cinematography and very vibrant, but boring as hell. Someone on these boards long ago told me don't even bother with Mother of Tears because it's even more of a bore. I may watch it someday just to say that I completed the trilogy, but Suspiria is the only good one (I've seen), IMO. A lot of giallo is insanely boring poo poo that just suddenly has crazy rear end poo poo happen inbetween the boring parts or gory stuff. Like Fulci's The Beyond is a movie that's 50% ownage and 50% trying to stay awake. There's a part where spiders attack some dude and it's legit like eight years long.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa is quickly becoming one of my favorite directors for horror. Retribution is so loving good.

The studio released a poster for the movie with a scantily clad Fox and the tagline, “She’s got a taste for bad boys,” which promoted Kusama and Cody to tap Fox and ask for the reasoning behind the decision to market the film this way.

All the technical mastery is there, his influences are clear, but he completely lacks experience and it's visible. Not looking forward to Jokeroni Jabroni or whatever his next bullshit is. Hereditary is the first movie I ever saw where every single scene was amazing and yet it didn't make for a good movie. Also whomever owns the Scream franchise really wants that new one to be a hit. Haven't seen it promoted that hard since the 90s. teen witch posted:Most early 2000s exxxxxtrrreeemmeeee horror sucks rear end but please dear god go see Jennifer’s Body, it’s far better than you’d think Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:A lot of giallo is insanely boring poo poo that just suddenly has crazy rear end poo poo happen inbetween the boring parts or gory stuff.

I just did a search. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls052440967/ 2000 - 2009 Zombie/Living Dead Movies 462 titles I like exorcism movies but the vast majority sucks. The Exorcism of Emily Rose was nice but that was basically a court room drama.

Imo one of the worst things about modern horror is how much of it is just incredibly transparent commentary on mental illness. Stuff like Hereditary and Midsommer are really good, but it gets tiresome to always have these films approach it so obliquely instead of just, like, I don't know, doing something directly about mental illness that doesn't swathe it in layers of mystique and metaphor. poo poo like Clean, Shaven just makes those kind of movies seem childish.

I like some found footage stuff, [REC] is super good and so is Man Bites Dog, but there's a lot of faff that just use it for atmospherics instead of doing anything interesting with it. One Cut of the Dead is a really good example of how you can use the found footage trappings to make something dynamic and cool

I saw the very beginning of NOES 3 when I was 4. My friend from across the street was like "Hey, you wanna watch Freddy?" Sure, that sounds like a funny guy! 5 minutes later her mom came down screaming at her and I was running home crying. I remember my first ever nightmare that night. I didn't sleep with my light off until I was 13. Everywhere I went.
