Hellraiser Judgement and them being straight up demons from hell meshes fine with the rest of the movies if you look at the dynamic of Judgement's opening scene. The cenobites WERE explores of the edge of experience angels to some/demons to others etc., but the intro is like Pinhead's first day on new job, he has a personal administrative cenobite guy that fills him in on how it works and everything.

Now all I want the next Hellraiser to be is a Cenobite performance review: "You've blown past your Flaying numbers for the month, and that's great. But where we'd like to see some improvements is in your Genital Inversions, because those are way down compared to last quarter. You're doing a good job overall, but we want to see you rely less on the hooks and chains, okay? If you can bring those numbers to where we'd like them to be, I think we can start thinking about moving you up to Eyeball Bursting full-time."

The Witch is coming to UHD in April. Seemed appropriate to mention it given the thread title change.

"Jenny, could you send in the Boxer next." "Ok Mr. Boxer, we are a little concerned you are bending the rules to meet your quota. I see on your last H-377 report that you took a soul because *squints* 'his punches unlocked the lament configuration.'"

What should I do next: Bloodsucking Bastards Strangers II Dan Curtis' Dracula Jigsaw mother! GOZU It Comes at Night We Need to Talk About Kevin Handmaiden Irreversable I have no strong feelings towards any of these, so you guys pick.

Gozu is very, very Miike. That can be good or bad depending on what you think of his style. And Handmaiden is good.

While I don't necessarily recommend Irreversible, it's certainly one of those movies I've thought a lot about after seeing. There's a lot more to it than it's famous scene, but it's incredibly difficult to watch for many reasons. It's the only film that's ever given me motion-sickness, except I felt more anxious than nauseated. That said, it's an endorsement, but not necessarily a recommendation.

Noe used a lot of lower-than-human-hearing tones designed to make you sick in that movie, so that might be why you got motion sick. That and the camerawork make it a pretty hard movie to physically watch, let alone a hard movie to watch in terms of content.

That and the camerawork make it a pretty hard movie to physically watch, let alone a hard movie to watch in terms of content. I know about the low frequencies, but I'm watching on a flat screen without a sound bar, so it's specifically the camera work that got to me. It's like a sadistic spinning ride, because it kinda spins around randomly, where you don't really know what's up or down. Also the strobe effects at the ending are cruel. I'm not epileptic, but within the past year or so, strobe effects hurt my brain in a weird way where I have to look away. Fart City posted:Irreversible also can only be suggested alongside a massive sexual assault trigger warning. Absolutely. But even it's violence is really brutal. The amount of bigotry is abrasive. The opening scenes in the sex club are also incredibly off-putting for people not prepared to see stuff like a man fisting his own rear end in a top hat, begging to be hosed. And the themes are just very heartbreakingly nihilistic.

Kvlt! posted:kinda inappropriate considering we are talking about irreversible but to change direction i'm going thru a bad breakup and what are the best romantic horror movies i can cry to You joke, but Irreversible is very much a love story, which also surprised me. The whole story is two men who both love the same woman seeking revenge for her. There is a 20 minute scene where one of them laments to the woman that he is hopelessly in love with her with her and her partner, who is his friend. And then you have the ending, where we see the couple deeply in love. But anyway, I like Dead Alive/Braindead's romance. Pequita is so cute and eager to win over Lionel. I also feel like Tremors has a nice romance subplot that feels earned and not tacked on. I'll think of some more and post. Kvlt! posted:This is what gets me about I Stand Alone too.

Weird way to spell LVT's Antichrist, but okay.

I don't go for the "disjointed scenes and aggressively anti-plot" device that gets used a lot in horror. Experimental is not my bag. Lemme fire up Handmaiden, be back in 2:27
