Saw Where Evil Lurks last night and wow, what a loving movie. One of the bleakest, no-light-left-in-the-world endings I've ever seen and I loved it. The demon-mom (demom?) walking along eating the kid's brain was... gently caress I don't even know. Just a great, fresh, inventive horror film that's totally worth your time. The scene with Ruiz, his wife, and the goat that sets everything on the path to Hell is also a masterclass in terrified tension. I love how the instant he fires the gun his wife axes him, I don't even think the goat has hit the ground yet. And then there's the next 30 seconds.

CelticPredator posted:Just got this Needs a "Gingerbread telephone pole on the side of the road" companion set. Kit comes with one of the snipped-off doll heads that little girl replaces with dead bird heads in the film also for real authenticity on the Christmas table.

loving Moron posted:gently caress me it should be 28 hours later and just be the insane collapse of London. Change it to Paris from the end of 28 Weeks, an entire movie of the actual "society is destroyed by the ravening hordes" part of the outbreak, just 2 hours of the first 10 minutes of Dawn of the Dead and it ends with the characters trapped on a roof or something watching the nukes coming down. I liked 28 Weeks Later a lot... and then we got that little flash out the tunnel at the end and well I've been waiting for the movie above ever since then.

The "piranhas gnawing" sound effect from the '78 Piranha is probably the greatest sound effect of all time. Little JS spent a LOT of time underwater with a plastic shark attacking a GI Joe trying his damnedest to make that sound.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:WITNESS has an excellent and horrifying burial in grain scene. So does the last season of Barry. Legitimately horrifying.

Watched a double feature of Late Night with the Devil and Infested last night. Late Night is loving fantastic.... up until the ending. Someone above nailed it, it's found footage then it goes into Jack's hallucinations? What? I'm super disappointed the titular Devil wasn't the skeptic psychic, I kept hoping there was going to be some horrible loving reveal that he'd hypnotized everyone to start killing each other or worshipping him or etc. When the hypnosis part happened I thought FOR loving SURE that's where we were going and instead we got... the end. The opposite of sticking the landing imo, they did a 9.5 gymnastics routine and then ended it by throwing a javelin at the judges. I'm the guy Infested was made for. I wrote an entire book about a serial killer who uses swarms of insects to kill his victims. So I was fired up about this one, been talking about it for a month. Well, Infested is loving stupid. It's got a great setup but about the last 30 min or so is just loving ridiculous trash. The main character is an unlikable rear end. Nothing about the poo poo with the spiders make any sense whatsoever. They're aggressive and instantly deadly but people in Afghanistan (?) risk their lives to capture them because they sell for the huge huge price of... 50 euro? The cops showed up to a spider infestation with riot armor and machine guns? You're going to machine gun a loving spider? The first half of the movie was pretty good, especially the "swarmed by baby spiders" part that got Moussa. But man... the rest of this thing is a loving mess, when the cop-spider firefight starts we all just started laughing and then the loving firefight goes on for like 20+ minutes as background for what our heroes are doing. How many cops did they bring? Just bleh. Slot this one in next to Crawl in "good setup, descends into farce." I can believe someone shrugging off multiple 9-foot gator bites quicker than I can believe in car-sized spiders the cops show up to have a firefight with. I kinda understand why Sam Raimi wanted the Infested guy to do Evil Dead, there were a couple of genuinely skin-crawling moments and a good payoff to all that sneaker box setup but it's a Tale of Two Movies, a suspenseful first half and then all of a sudden we're in loving Spider All Quiet on the Western Front. Shoulda been "*REC with spiders" instead of "Arachnophobia played straight."

dorium posted:Infested rocked. Wish it had gotten a theater run because that camera work and lighting deserved a gigantic screen. There were definitely parts I really, really liked, which is what made the parts I didn't so disappointing. I especially loved the scene where he puts the spider in the shoebox in his room for the first time. The way it keeps cutting back to the tanks and the animals moving, that was some seriously excellent 'oh gently caress what is this spider' tension. I also thought the walk out of the parking garage was first rate, my skin was crawling the entire time. And the already mentioned scene where Moussa gets bit on the toe and then just swarmed by almost-invisibly small baby spiders, that was loving dreadful. Just don't follow that up with a line of cops shooting at a doorway as spiders pour out of it screeching and clicking. And DO NOT set up a sequence where your highly-unlikeable main character can be eaten by a spider the size of a loving motorcycle and then let him walk away! Deep Blue Sea knew! When some dumbshit gets a bunch of people killed they get eaten at the end of the movie. Come on now, just eat him. Maybe that's the alternate ending for the director's cut. "I've got to go raise the gate." >steps outside< >even bigger spider jumps him from behind and rips poo poo up< >girls gun it and smash through the gate< DEEP BLUE SPIDER

My favorite thing in the Jaws movies is in Jaws: The Revenge when the shark levitates out of the water on its tail and then roars. The shark loving roars.
