Wicker Man - The first time I saw this movie I was expecting something a lot more like the movies Christopher Lee was starring in for Hammer. I'm always blown away by just how unique the vibe of this movie is. The music is great. I love how the protagonist is a grumpy rear end in a top hat while all the townsfolk are super friendly even though they refuse to cooperate with his investigation. The ending is wild. I especially like the inversion of morality a lot of horror movies go for. If he had slept with the Innkeeper's daughter when she tried to seduce him he would no longer have been a suitable sacrifice.

Feeling absolute comraderie with Christopher Lee as he calls the detective a dumb virgin

The Thing Wonderful movie. Absolute legend. Fantastic pace. So many others with the same concept I feel would have a terrible lull in the middle. This never stops ratcheting up the tension. Prince of Darkness rodbeard posted:Prince of Darkness - I rewatched In the Mouth of Madness first because I felt this movie covered many of the same themes better. The acting from the grad students is kind of weak, but Donald Pleasence and Victor Wong absolutely steal the show as a priest and a scientist having a discussion on the nature of evil while Satan is actively trying to bring about the apocalypse around them. Another amazing synth soundtrack. The dream sequence is great. Alice Cooper brought his own special effects with him for his cameo. I agree with these. But I did really like the laughing man as well. The fact it affected every character a little different was very exciting. The concept of the dream stuff 100% works and is cool but on paper I think most would say it doesn't fit in with the rest of it, so I'm quite glad it's there. The confluence of science and religion without ever falling into some corny 'you just need faith' type narrative is great, stating instead there are things we cannot explain yet even if we have record of them, even tying that back to why religion would hide it.

Bram Stoker's Dracula. A masterpiece. Can't believe I've never seen it before. Great special effects, fantastic performances from everyone involved (aside from Keanu's attempt at a British accent that sometimes made me have to stifle laughter but accent aside I think he still did pretty good), I really liked how many actors, particularly Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins, kind of danced right up to the line of hammy overacting but never crossed it so it's fun but still has gravity and can be taken seriously. Lots of incredible visuals, a handful of favorites being the silhouette battle and the renunciation of God at the beginning, the scene transition fading from the protective ring of fire to the sun, absolutely everything about the confrontation with Vampire Lucy. I also appreciated how closely it stuck to the novel, obviously no adaptation ever perfectly matches the source material and the movie added its own spin to the story, but I love the book and it was cool to see it adapted so faithfully now that Dracula's kind of a stock character that's transcended the original novel.

Also I guess it goes with my comment about its faithfulness to the book but I love that it included Quincey, who's generally been forgotten since he didn't make it into the Bela Lugosi movie

Suspiria absolutely loved it. knew going with a pick i haven't seen before might've been a gamble but i felt like i hit the jackpot, just a completely hauntingly beautiful display of set design and art direction. feels so much more vibrant compared to other horror movies around that time, and the score gets unreal and pretty deranged. not as much gore as i thought but every kill felt like it had weight to it, and even then whoever said that "bad vibes" might be the main villain was completely right, just so many scenes that feel "off" that rachet up the tension. ungodly good movie in general, let alone horror movie

The Wicker Man a third folk songs/hymns at 200% volume, a third topless women, and a third Edward Woodward losing his cool and his mind. extremely powerful film especially once May Day begins, and i hate the Nic Cage version i watched in college so much more in retrospect. Woodward at the end going from pride of being a Christian, to unreciprocated rationalizing, to pure terror, and finally shaky, begrudging acceptance is gonna linger with me i feel. truly terrifying film with next to no blood, gore, and death

In the Mouth of Madness I liked this well enough but too much of it is Sam Neill seeing something weird and raising his eyebrow and just moving on. This man would have zero issues seeing a squirrel t-posing. Once it really gets rolling and he understands he's in some poo poo, then it's really genuinely great, but it takes a while. If you're gonna hire someone to constantly raise their eyebrow, Sam Neill is a drat good pick for the role.

Return of the Living Dead very very fun. The whole maniac mansion crew is good. the army agent just calmly taking notes at the end fuckin killed me Candyman (My own pick) Man I love this movie pinning the kills on helen, the fact that it ends with that repeating the idea of legends perpetrating themselves, candyman needing to kill to keep up belief in him the idea of a real person entering legend and becoming immortal, even if the legend isnt factual. we start learning the candyman lore, that he was killed for loving a white woman, and even before helen dies she's already entering legend tied to him and is shown as that woman from a century earlier the psychiatrist fakeout and then kill actually happening

rolled one last time  and landed on Dog Soldiershad no idea what it was gonna be ab. turns out its british predator w/ werewolves. the main positive is that the script was good. generic but still p clever and fun. i like the british banter. also, the sergeant was great. the negatives are that it looks horrible, the wolves look silly as hell and the editing is the 2000s at their worst w/ all the loving jumpcuts. also, they could have probably cut it out to at least an hour and 20 or something. why is it so loving long? laughed hard at the newspaper in the credits better than videodrome scary score: 2/5 score: 2/5
