Fucker posted:

rolled the dice on all these movies but videodrome and a certain other one that i shall watch later

landed on bram stokers dracula

lmao wtf is this movie. i clearly dont know as much ab coppola as i thought i did, cause i wasnt expecting this to go full campycore. it kind of pwns

its not scary at all, but its p epic. lots of cool effects and shots. the plot is messy but u just kinda go w/ it.

gary oldman and anthony hopkins are insanely good in this. winona ryder is alright. look, i like keanu reeves, but he sucks rear end here lmao. idk if he was just having a bad time or if he was misdirected or miscast or what, but his acting is the most horrifying part of this movie

favorite line: "an autopsy? no, no, not exactly. i just want to cut off her head and take out her heart". the delivery cracked me tf up

scary score: 1/5
score: 3/5

And The House of the Devil. I know Ti West is mostly known for horror but this is the first horror movie of his I've seen, though I really loved his Western In a Valley of Violence. Really loved how well he nailed the stylistic throwbacks like using 16mm film and the opening and closing credits with the yellow text and freeze frames, etc. Very, very slow burn, which won't be to everyone's tastes but I liked it a lot, it reminded me of the first section of Barbarian where things are slow and tense and uncomfortable and you don't know when the shoe is going to drop or what it's going to look like when it does. I especially liked Tom Noonan's scenes earlier in the movie, where he's really weird and off-putting but not in an openly sinister way, just odd in the uncomfortable way that people are sometimes, he really sells it and it comes across as like, if you knew someone like that in real life you'd think he's just a harmless weirdo but since you know you're watching a horror movie you know there's got to be more than that. And then when the plot finally does explode it's just heart-pounding to the end.

Great visuals too, I loved a lot of the effects like the pulsing flashes of the moon after she gets drugged by the pizza, or the road sequence as they're driving to the mansion that reminded me a lot of Lynch's Lost Highway. It's a hard recommend, because I know a lot of people won't like the pacing, but it gets by on an extremely well-executed atmosphere so if you're into that it's definitely worth a watch.

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

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.

name and shame everyone who didn't watch more than their own pick imo if any

That was a fun event, thanks for the picks, everyone. I deliberately didn't rewatch anything I'd already seen because I only really got into horror movies in the last two or three years so anything I'd already seen was a bit too recent for a rewatch, which means I didn't get to a lot of really good picks like Candyman or The Thing, etc., but I did watch most of the ones that were new to me, Bram Stoker's Dracula and Under the Shadow being particular favorites.

The ones I hadn't seen before and didn't get to this month were Arachnophobia, Videodrome, Suspiria 77, and Killer Klowns from Outer Space, which I'll probably still watch on my own over the next few days even without the event, I'm still in the mood for scary movies and probably will be for a while. Thanks for the picks everyone, I'm already looking forward to next year's.
