Not to bring back Zombie chat but I haven’t seen his Halloweens..do I really need to watch his first one or can I just skip to 2?

Also 1000 Corpses is awesome and oddly genuine. Super rough around the edges but it’s a campy as gently caress spookhouse midnight movie if that’s your thing. Devils Rejects is really, really good but I’d rather watch Dwight get turned into a mermaid again instead

Zombie’s first Halloween is really uneven, but I really do think you kinda need it as context for the much better Halloween II.

If you liked HO1KC, I say watch em both.

Can someone please explain the appeal of Lords of Salem to me

Characters that I find pretty genuine and engaging finding themselves in a spooky Italian supernatural horror style scenario loaded with tons of Ken Russell imagery. A mash up of stuff that really appeals to me and really well made in all the technical aspects.

It was relatively inoffensive, which I guess puts it in the top half of horror remakes, but there's really no reason to bother with it imo.

I saw it and barely remember it. It was one of those movies where I was in high school, and it was only really talked about by people who didn't like horror enough to know it was a remake. It was appreciated by the same crowd that liked Cry_Wolf.

Same with me for remakes on Black Christmas, and Poltergeist. I know I sat through them but really couldn't tell you anything beyond what was taken from the originals.

Growing up I had chili plenty of times with or without beans and or pasta so to me, meatless is the weird one. All I ask is it please have at least medium or higher heat otherwise it's an abomination to both Man and God.

God I hate the Poltergeist remake. I bought it by accident because I thought it was the original, I was all excited to watch it and popped it in and was met with nothing but pure disappointment that not even Sam Rockwell could fix.

The.. uh first... remake of Black Christmas took out everything good about the original. The few phone calls aren't creepy and the backstory of the killer is explained in excruciating detail and flashbacks (and it's a dumb story too). It's way more actiony and has probably over double the kills. It also has more eye violence than a Fulci flick, for some reason. Supposedly the Weinsteins flexed creative control over the movie like they always do and ordered extensive rewrites and reshoots, and it shows because it's a drat mess.

Anyway, there's no reason for another remake. Despite being what I consider to be the best slasher ever made, it ain't a hot recognizable property like Halloween or F13, so I don't get it.

It exists. I think a Sorority Row and a Prom Night remake came out around the same time and they were all inoffensive nothing you forget the moment it's over and wonder why it came to be in the first place. It's probably the best of the ones I listed? Tough to remember.

Not nearly as rancid and offensive as the Silent Night Deadly Night remake that is a good argument for destruction of art.

That’s what I took to be the tragic part of the story. It’s just fated to happen, regardless of what she does. She essentially has no agency as a human being.

You can also look at how the character has a past drug addiction issue that her two colleagues know about but clearly don't care to notice or do much about until it's both way to late and even clearly at the "Huh these old people are clearly abusing this woman in some way' the ex-boyfriend/radio co-workers just sort of fades away instead of doing anything.

But that was also kind of the one nitpick I had with the movie. It maybe spends a little too much time in poo poo the "regular people around her should notice that poo poo is clearly wrong" territory so it feels like it's spinning its wheels a little towards the end. But I still loved it and think it's his best movie.

Glenn Danzig made a horror and it sounds baaaad

https://film.avclub.com/holy-hell-glenn-danzig-mightve-just-made-the-room-of-h-1835503250

quote:

At one point, a woman looks into a mirror for minutes on end, while the camera zooms in...then out...then in...then out...then in...and so on. A guy in the row ahead of me started laughing so hard, it drowned out several of her lines, which was fine. The mix wasn’t so hot to begin with.

quote:

During one scene, a random woman has a conversation with a man in a darkened alley, and then the camera pulls back to reveals she’s having a casual chat with an eight-armed spider creature, who then snaps her neck. Cut to the news anchor describing the scene, and saying the killer is being called “The Neckbreaker.” It’s spectacular.

quote:

Highlights of this story include too-good-to-be-true moments like the cops, standing over the body of yet another woman with her face cut off, saying, “The killer’s motive is clear: He cuts their faces off.”

I must see this.

I can understand your interpretation of patriarchy at play, though I'd say the cultural conflict between generations was stronger theme. Granted I'm probably mixing book with movie, but Rosemary's shown to have been raised fairly traditional and her relationship with Guy (actor and not really religious-practically a scandal on legs to a traditional type family) and moving to worldly NYC's been a bone of contention. She feels guilty over moving away from how she was raised even though she's got no reason to and might be an underlying motivation for her friendship with Dutch, making him the stand in for a parental figure. The elder figures around her that she'd expect to be a similar sort of traditional really aren't. Case in point, the Pope's visit is a big deal to Rosemary but Minnie's all 'take away the gold and jeweled robes and he's a man like anyone else'. There's also the clash between the younger generation represented by Rosemary and her friends with their more freespirited attitudes questioning and clashing with the elder figures while not traditional are still the ones establishing the way things must be. Guy's essentially moving from the former to become part of the latter regardless of sacrifices required. Despite all that Rosemary goes through she's in the unique position of while she's rebelling against the coven, she does have an unofficial position in the hierarchy as Adrian's mother and is exempt from any repercussions/requirements someone else would receive. Case in point, she tells the coven she won't join and they're okay with that. In the end, Rosemary finds her agency in stepping up to be a mother to her son and doing what she can to counteract any influence from the coven.

I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
I know this is a long shot, but I'm hoping someone can help me:

I've been trying to find the original uncensored version of American Horror House, which is a Syfy movie from 2012. It appears to be completely unavailable anywhere in any physical or digital format, including any/all streaming services.

The only version I can find that's still sold in America is a censored version on DVD only that's titled Sorority Horror House, and even that seems to have been discontinued.

There is a region B blu-ray version titled Paranormal Initiation, but it's even more heavily censored than Sorority Horror House. They took what was basically an R-rated movie and watered it down to about a PG.

Has anyone heard of this movie? Any idea where I can find it?
