Fun fact: Bug was filmed in my high school's gym for some reason.

I haven't seen it in years but I remember it being pretty unsettling.

I feel like all the Saw movies had terrible nu-metal credits songs. At least some of them did.

I watched Fire in the Sky for the first time last night. A lot of the movie wasn't great, but that alien torture scene? :stonk:

Jesus loving Christ, that was bone-chilling. Glad I didn't see this when I was a kid because it definitely would've given me nightmares.

That "POLO!" made me laugh a lot. I'll watch this.

Was that song in the beginning off-brand Aphex Twin?

I watched Exorcist: The Beginning for the first time the other night and hated it. The new one has to be better than that piece of poo poo, right? The trailer for it didn't exactly make me curious to find out for myself, though.

I watched it because We Hate Movies was covering it for their new episode, but yeah, I have to imagine Paul Schrader did this material better.

Exorcist: Believer was worth making because, since Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie is excluded from my AMC A-List subscription, I'm going to get a ticket to Exorcist: Believer around the same time and sneak in to the TSwift movie :getin:

VHS 85 was underwhelming, the initial concept of emerging directors coming together and put out cool video nasty short features has given way to half baked efforts, I guess looking back at the recent entries it's not that surprising.

94 at least had Storm Drain (hail Raatma), but 85 and 99 had zero memorable segments for me. Still, I'm looking forward to the next one because these movies are something of a Halloween tradition for me.

I rewatched the entire Purge series because I remembered some of the sequels being pretty good. I think my brain lied to me. Ugh, what a mostly disappointing series. Anarchy is still pretty solid, but the rest of them range from average to terrible and I hope they don't make any more after The Forever Purge, which was my least favorite of the series when I saw it in theaters and again when I watched it just now.

How is the remake of Susperia?

How does it compare content wise to the original?

I only saw it once when it came out in theaters and hated it. It's certainly doing its own thing, but the original is so much more creative IMO. It came out 41 years earlier but I prefer it in every way. I like Thom Yorke's music for the remake but it doesn't come close to Goblin's score from the original.

Rewatched Doctor Sleep for the first time since it came out and I'm pretty sure I hated it even more this time. The entire final act was basically this for The Shining:

Does anyone get legitimately scared by horror movies anymore? I try to set the correct atmosphere, dark room, no distractions, alone, yet I still feel I'm chasing the dragon. When I was a teenager I watched Event Horizon and it haunted me for weeks, same with Silent Hill, couldn't shower with my eyes closed type thing. Those were good times.

I'm mostly desensitized at this point, but I remember when I watched The Lodge a few years ago, that freaked me out.

There's maybe one movie every few years that'll do that to me. I must've watched a few dozen horror movies in October and a few of them were genuinely unsettling, like The Exorcist and Jacob's Ladder, but I've seen those before, so the effects those movies had on me happened ages ago when I first saw them.

I felt more tension and general unease and ick watching Priscilla than I have with any recent horror movie, Elvis is a great monster but I'm not quite ready to call it a horror movie

, though I'd call it one. Maybe psychological horror is a more appropriate term for it, but I definitely felt horrified watching it.

In the spirit of the holidays I rewatched Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 last night. This has probably been discussed to death but what a wild trip of a movie. 40 minutes to recap the first movie, then a bunch of random scenes, and it's all narrated by one of the most amazing overacting masters of all time. Almost every single line makes me laugh, Ricky is constantly saying stuff like "it sounded like a squirrel getting his nuts squeezed" or "are we just jerking off here or what?" in this weird voice. Plus he remembers things from when he was a literal baby, he's aware of things nobody else witnessed except his long-dead brother and adds all kinds of crazy commentary when recounting those events.

Everybody knows Garbage Day, it's still funny, but the rest of the movie is equally hilarious and weird.

I would love to know how people reacted to this in the theaters when it first came out. Like half the runtime is just showing you the first movie with Ricky saying stuff like "my brother knew all the roads and shortcuts" or "i remember... because I was there!".

Yeah, it rules :allears:

I've been watching the first one and that one every year at Christmas time for years, though from now on, I'm just going to watch Part 2 annually. The sexual assault stuff in the first one bothers me, and Part 2 recaps almost the entirety of the first movie anyway. Plus it's funnier and more lighthearted because of Eric Freeman's batshit insane performance.

I'd rather have an uncomfortable chair than a recliner. These recliners are just bad for the general public and lead to people treating the theater like their home and arriving in top to bottom sweats and sandals with a bag of dim sum (this literally happened to me at a screening of Ferrari the other night) and a blanket.

Take all that poo poo out of the theater and give us some stone steps to sit on. People dont deserve poo poo.

lmao

I love the recliners. I'm at a theater now about to see Poor Things and this theater has chairs, which aren't terribly uncomfortable or anything, but I miss the recliners when they aren't available.

I know it's not a horror movie, but how was Ferrari? I'm seeing it the day after Christmas.

Did you watch theatrical or unrated? There's not a ton of difference. IIRC the unrated version has a few more swears and the deaths are a little gorier.

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.

I've seriously been waiting 17 years for the news that a sequel is going forward.
