In this iteration of the thread, we go to a high rise military boarding school college with a rollercoaster in Vegas on a prison planet, where we get a hockey mask and train a group of troubled teens (including Leonardo DiCaprio) to fight Nazis, before we get put on trial for an urban harvest, all in 3D.

Spermanent Record posted:Have you got any horror short story recommendations for Grade 7, 12 years olds? Bruce Coville’s Book of ____ (Monsters, Nightmares, Aliens, Ghosts, Magic, and Spine Tinglers) series are great for this. Each category has two books to it, and each book is a curated collection of short stories fitting the theme, with a nice variety of authors, though some of them do show up regularly. There’s contributions from Joe Lansdale, Jane Yolen, Terry Jones, Ray Bradbury, Michael Markiewicz, Neal Shusterman, and Al Sarrantonio (whose “Snow” still creeps me out), among others.

What are some horror movie posters/box art you think are great, for whatever reason of appeal? I dig a lot about this design. Skeleton as a containment unit? Rad. The extra-pulpy art look of the woman framed in an open coffin? Great. The way the skeleton's lifting of its crimson robe makes it look like it has an amazing shoulder-pad suit from the '80s?

Gripweed posted:I know that this is the only thing I ever talk about, but I just had a thought about the Senritsu Kaiki File series. Is it the best use of the series format of any horror movie series? Other horror movie series tend to start with an idea, and then future sequels try to do that idea again but bigger or in a new way or just the same again. But every Senritsu Kaiki entry adds more to the world, continues the story of our characters, slowly draws the shape of the horror, without ever over explaining or undercutting a previous entry.

Shrecknet posted:Ok let's dig deep. Tell me your ****+ horror movies with less than 1,000 Letterboxed reviews that you would recommend. Poor Pretty Eddie (1975) [946 ratings] A jazz singer's car breaks down in the boonies, and her presence disrupts the existing tensions between the residents. How to Make a Monster (1958) [932 ratings] In this American International picture, American International Pictures gets bought out, unseating a master makeup artist with the studio's new focus on feel-good pictures. To fight back, he uses his monsters, with some special ingredients for the makeup keeping the actors from knowing what they're doing. Remote Control (1988) [899 ratings] A film called Remote Control has been released to the rental video market, taking over the minds of those who watch it. It's up to two video store employees to save the world. Simon, King of the Witches (1971) [879 ratings] Dramatic piece about people not taking a hippieish warlock seriously. Recommended for fans of The Love Witch. Cthulhu (2007) [789 ratings] A queer, apocalyptic, and Lovecraftian mystery/mood piece. Hotel Fear (1978) [729 ratings] A slow-boil war-time Italian thriller. The closest thing to WWII giallo I've seen. The Noonday Witch (2016) [662 ratings] Take The Babadook, imagine swapping its dark and confined aesthetic for one of being cooked to death under an unbearably bright sun in Czech farmlands, and you're in the right zone for this one. Hannah, Queen of the Vampires (1973) [657 ratings] A centuries-long revenge/romance/vampiric narrative tangle comes to a head in the 1970s. Lace Crater (2015) [609 ratings] A woman tries to cope with the strange symptoms she develops after having sex with a ghost. Contains trace amounts of mumblecore. The Devil's Sword (1983) [543 ratings] Totally wild Indonesian adventure involving sword lasers, Shaw Bros.-style themed fighters, subterranean hells, and more. A favorite of the Deadly Prey poster company's founder. P.O.V. A Cursed Film (2012) [503 ratings] Wonderfully creepy semi-mockumentary about a pair of idol-ish talk show hosts in Japan doing an episode about ghostly activities caught on video, and the increasingly blurred line between the viewer-submitted footage and their immediate surroundings. Shanks (1974) [489 ratings] Marcel Marceau (yeah, the mime) stars as a deaf and mute man whose scientist friend uncovers secrets of controlling corpse muscles, effectively turning them into puppets. When the scientist is killed, the technology becomes a tool of revenge. Saint Bernard (2013) [481 ratings] An arguably even more bizarre and hallucinatory trip from the director of Skinned Deep. Pizza (2014) [310 ratings] Maybe overly convoluted, but I enjoyed this blending of haunted house survival with Usual Suspects-ish perspective shifting. Battle Heater (1989) [306 ratings] A high-energy, playful, imaginative, and exuberant piece of bizarre Japanese horror comedy. Kind of like if Tetsuo The Iron Man had the warm and fuzzy friendliness of Hausu. The Witch (1952) [293 ratings] An accused witch is executed by a baron; 300 years later, her corpse is unearthed, the current baron's son mentions how he would give his soul to have a woman, and a strange woman appears in the corpse's place. Exploration of sexual politics in a 1952 Finnish film ensues. The Devil's Machine (2019) [280 ratings] A man and his daughter find their personalities being overwritten as the father attempts to solve the mysteries of a 300-year-old life-sized clockwork doll. The Forgotten (2014) [257 ratings] A heavily British undertaking of turning ghost story conventions on their head in a modern setting. Soft Matter (2018) [170 ratings] A goopy, wry, and decidedly low-budget mix of Lovecraftian gods, inept scientists, and graffiti artists. Kind of feels like a cousin to Psycho Goreman, but with a twee dose of Sorry to Bother You splashed in. Another Yeti a Love Story: Life on the Streets (2017) [169 ratings] A character from the original Yeti: A Love Story film has moved to the city, and is struggling with being a single father to his half-yeti son. But when his half-yeti son is kidnapped by a pimp with goals of a genetically-engineered yeti army, it leads on a quest of self-discovery and new love that will topple the corrupt local police department and get a yeti prostitute off of heroin. Basically what you'd get if the impulses of a Chris Seaver film were given purpose and effort. The Haunted House Project (2010) [144 ratings] Did you like Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum? If so, watch this. Synesthesia (2005) [98 ratings] Kind of like a less visually experimental Japanese approach to the fragmented narrative style of Upstream Color. Yakuza, a man with synesthesia, and a serial killer named Picasso are some of the main players. Talk to the Dead (2013) [84 ratings] Part of the same cycle as The Crone and (Shiraishi's) Cult, this is a fairly standard technology-meets-supernatural J-horror film, but the execution (by the director of Ring 0 and Orochi: Blood) makes it an enjoyable ride through familiar territory. And the Senritsu Kaiki File section: Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! File 04: The Truth! Hanako-san in the Toilet (2013) [555 ratings] The point at which this series really takes off. Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! Preface: True Story of the Ghost of Yotsua (2014) [419 ratings] Feels like the point at which the protagonist team has fully spread their wings and launched themselves into the face of dangerous paranormal entities. Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! The Most Terrifying Movie in History (2014) [388 ratings] And the one to which the whole series (and Koji Shiraishi's filmography, if you wanna look at it that way) has been building. Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! Final Chapter (2015) [321 ratings] A transitional chapter in which we get to see how cameraman Tashiro engages with a supernatural mission in the absence of his directors.

Shrecknet posted:Ok let's dig deep. Tell me your ****+ horror movies with less than 1,000 Letterboxed reviews that you would recommend. And the short films. Belial's Dream (2017) [515 ratings] Stop-motion creepiness in a tie-in to the Basket Case series from the director of The Cat with Hands. Superpower Girl (2017) [505 ratings] Girls' school bitchiness turns deadly when a formerly despised classmate develops strange powers. Bag (2001) [467 ratings] Silent Hill aesthetics cut loose from the reins of a concrete narrative; music by Akira Yamaoka. The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar (1936) [440 ratings] A creepy Poe adaptation by way of 1930s Italy, with some great visuals. There It Is (1928) [404 ratings] A Looney Tunes-ish send-up of haunted house mysteries, almost half a decade before The Old Dark House. Lili (2019) [336 ratings] A creepy casting director gets his comeuppance. Bakemono (2019) [289 ratings] Screwing around with traditions, and the consequences of doing so. Ko-Ko's Haunted House (1928) [255 ratings] Dave Fleischer pulls out the stops for an animated onslaught of Halloween imagery. MJ (2018) [205 ratings] Social media obsession turns violent, while avoiding the usual 'some gizmo' pitfalls. The Boy Who Left Home to Find Out About the Shivers (1984) [183 ratings] An episode of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre with Peter MacNicol, Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, David Warner, and Frank Zappa! (I still think Jim Henson's The Storyteller told this story better, though.) Mushroom (2001) [156 ratings] Another piece of rampant Silent Hill imagery and Yamaoka audio. Dudecreeps (2020) [128 ratings] A creepy night at home shown from two perspectives. Evil Heart (1985) [116 ratings] A slumber party scary story of friendships turned sour and hospital nightmares. Gregory Horror Show: The Nightmare Begins (1999) [99 ratings] The first season of a Japanese show with a papercraft-via-CGI aesthetic, set in a hotel full of secrets, strange guests, and a dangerous caretaker. Exit (2011) [64 ratings] A somber, funereal piece of ritualistic nullification. An Artistic Couple (1970) [47 ratings] An elderly couple values art over life. Trick 'r Treat: Sam's Gift (2020) [37 ratings] A concentrated burst of Halloween energy in fan film form. Nighthawks (2009) [7 ratings] Vampyros lesbos, modernized. Murderabilia (2012) [4 ratings] An unsettling study of a man's acquisitive obsession over a piece of crime scene evidence.

Ambitious Spider posted:A Record of Sweet Murder would have worked a lot better for me without the gross sex stuff and assault. That said, if that kind of stuff isn't a deal breaker, or you can egt past it, it's a clever, one takeish Koji Shiraishi found footage. This kind of stuff doesn't pop up in his films often, but it's always off putting when it does.

Watched Blades recently, and it kind of blew me away. My expectations for a killer lawnmower movie were pretty low, but the filmmakers stuck to their guns on making it follow the Jaws blueprints, and made it work very well.
