On the other hand, in the original film, he reveals himself to the two kids that are bullying Tommy just to scare the poo poo out of them. That's a good, overt example where we're at least given some kind of window into a seemingly contradictory aspect of his personality: Does he identify with Tommy? Is he taking revenge on his behalf? If so, is this the same as having empathy for him, or is he merely projecting his own narcissistic desires?

Or, going even further symbolically, is Michael a projection by Tommy?

That specific scene is filmed from Tommy's height/perspective, so I think so.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



Most of the Hellraiser sequels after 3? 4? were just standard horror scripts with Pinhead shoehorned in as a way to continue to hold on the the rights.

Aww man :( I hope whoever directed the rest of 'em took cues from his work on the first couple. They're SO GOOD.

Daniel Sackheim and Pizzolatto himself trade off directing duties for the rest of the season.

I've only seen the first 5 episodes, but none of them are as well-directed as Saulnier's episodes. Which is to be expected.

Lars Von Trier is a provocateur and he wants his films to frustrate you and piss you off and make you feel bad/sad.

I love Lars Von Trier for this, but this might be symptomatic.

Does anyone know the name of the beheading video the kids at the party are watching on a laptop in Hereditary? I thought it was The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1895) but upon further review they are using a guillotine and not an axe, so that isn’t it.

Hey, it seems like you're relatively new here.

Let me tell you about a little movie called Horror Express. In the horror thread you're only cool if you've seen Horror Express. You should watch Horror Express.

drat, you know you're right, the HD remaster isn't available on Amazon streaming anymore wtf. That blows. Kinda hard to recommend now because the versions that are there are pretty bad.

It was there for like a whole year or more, I wonder what happened.

No, I got screeners for them.

While the other episodes are definitely a step down from Saulnier (and even Fukunaga and Justin Lin) visually, Ali still puts in the best performance from any season imo. And David Milch co-wrote an episode, so it's fun picking up random, clearly Milch-y sentences.

drat, that triple-feature would have been a trip. "Guardian of Hell" is Bruno Mattei's "The Other Hell," "The Craving" is Paul Naschy's "Night of the Werewolf" and "Burial Ground" is, well, "Burial Ground."

EDIT: Also, LOL at "Hard Ticket to Hawaii" in a theater. I didn't think those movies existed without Rhonda Shear interrupting them.

It would feel wrong to have that be the thread title if its not referring to Lifeforce. It's such a perfect description of Lifeforce.

I can't even imagine a world cool enough where you could see a triple feature like that in theaters for $2.50 even existed.

Of all of them, The Other Hell being in theaters it he most nuts to me. :laffo:

Creep 2 almost wouldn't be as good as it is, and it is amazing, without Creep preceding it

It's one of those things that not only is the sequel better, it's better in the context of building and surpassing what was there
