I watched Cocaine Bear, Resolution, Unwelcome, and A Field In England on the weekend Tbh I think A Field was my favourite, though I prefer In The Earth's take on the same terrifying mushroom entity. Fellas I think I might like trip/drugs horror. Unwelcome's last ten minutes slapped too, and it's fun watching Colm Meany be a big ol bastard. Also, evil Nac mac Feegle Resolution was alright, very much in the "slightly weirder, slightly weirder, MONSTER" sense just mentioned Cocaine Bear sure had a cocaine bear alright

Somehow I'm only figuring out now despite having seen loving all of both series that Patrick Wilson is the main dude in both of them In my defense, for Insidious I could pretty much give no more than half a crap about the dad, I'm here for Lin Shaye

Noroi was dope, holy poo poo. Loved the increasing sense of dread as absolutely everybody connected with the story disappeared, died, or disappeared then died Occult was almost as good save for that goofy effects shot at the end.

Also the mid 2000s aesthetic and Shiraishi's documentary approach to found footage really lends itself well to squeezing the movies through the narrow pipe of modern streaming service compression algorithms which is to say both movies were compression artifacted to gently caress but in a way that reminded me of being awake at 3 am on the weird side of youtube on my laptop

I guess we're big old suckers for disappearing mannequins and Deep Lore, cause we watched all the Hell House LLCs and the sequels were ok (if, yes, diminishing returns and the silly messianic archetype being applied to the media mogul in 3) We also watched Return of the Living Dead and that was great. My wife doesn't like zombie movies at all and she still enjoyed it

Xander B Coolridge posted:I don't count Vast of Night as horror, but I think it's just a fantastic movie. I think my favorite scene was when the screen is just black and you're listening to that guy tell the story. Rewatched it yesterday cause y'all were talking about it, and yeah, this. That and the long oner where Fay keeps calling people on her switchboard and they keep dropping off the network. I never tuned into Art Bell back in the day but I imagine that's what it would have been like on a good night, that sort of mounting paranoia. Driving down some nameless laser-straight prairie road, overcast, with the moon glowing dimly through a break in the clouds. Some poor scared dude spilling his guts on AM radio about the weird poo poo he saw in the Army, and then his call drops. And as the hair stands up on your arms, you realize you're the only thing moving that's bigger than a gopher within like 50 miles, and you start to wonder... What would happen if I got out and looked up and checked? Phy fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Aug 1, 2023 |

sad question posted:Bone Tomahawk was good but it also made me weirdly stoked because I have the same chairs they used for the saloon scene. I inherited my grandma's dining room table and chairs. They're great quality solid wood furniture and I'm happy to have a connection to grandpa and grandma, but... I always wanted a full set of well-maintained Cesca chairs and now I'll never ever have a need to, and that bums me out just a tiny bit. Yknow, these ones, from every single tv show and movie about a family with hip or retro sensibilities:  (Full disclosure, my family had a set of "knockoffs" in the 80s, so it's more that I'm nostalgic for those and find it funny that film has settled on the Cesca as the set dressing of choice. I bought a dogshit pair for like 5 bucks when I moved out that's still in my basement) Phy fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Aug 2, 2023 |

Basebf555 posted:I feel like there's a lot of potentially great horror movie premises that are some form of "you slow-play things for the first half the movie and then SURPRISE it's actually a Jason/Freddy/Dracula/Godzilla/Predator movie" but unfortunately with modern media today it's almost impossible to keep something like that under wraps long enough to pull it off. I was like "why do I feel like I saw exactly that recently" and then I remembered The Invitation I don't remember catching ads for it, the only reason I knew Dracula was involved was this thread. Ms Phy was completely in the dark but she figured out the vampire swerve pretty early Also I caught a link to this somewhere with no explanation and it was good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsbVTPftcgs Phy fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Aug 3, 2023 |

Hollismason posted:The Borderlands / Final Prayer was good but I kind of felt the ending fell a little flat. It was good overall though. So I watched this last weekend and I agree? Like generally pretty great, but when I realized that the reveal can be described as "the church is a monster that eats people", I kind of wished the film had leaned into the metaphor. Also watched Prey for the Devil, and I didn't like that much. It felt like... I dunno, like fanfiction about the Church written by someone who had never so much as met a Catholic in their life. The nun drawing her fuckin cross out like it was a. 45 was kind of hilarious.

I think what's started to bug me about 80s and 90s movies is how filthy everything isn't. It must be pretty tough to find shitbox Tempos and K-cars and Sunbirds that are only half-rusted instead of entirely returned to iron oxide, and I get that horror is generally pretty cheap to produce and nobody wants to spend the time on scattering period-correct styrofoam hamburger clamshells everywhere and stomping on gum until the sidewalks look like a fuckin Dalmatian, but I absolutely have started to notice the absence

Magic Hate Ball posted:Something I think about a lot is the experience of renting some weird movie that nobody else has ever seen (presumably because all the good movies were already rented) and having that become a cornerstone of your childhood. My mom and I rented The Lift once and then rented it almost one a month for the better part of a year afterwards. I still love that movie and somewhere I have the storyboard I tried to make for a similar movie about sentient showers that kill people (in my cluelessly gay little nine year old brain I was like "horror movies = women in showers" and ran with it). It's not horror, but Captain Ron. "Ahh, they'll get out of our way, boss! Learned that drivin' the Saratoga" is practically a part of my personality, as is the need to clarify revolutionaries or apes when someone mentions gorillas without context. Robot Jox was a candidate but I only rented it a few times and as the designated robot dude in the family no-one else got into it quite so much
