Are there any other zombie movies that take place well after the initial spread like Day (and Land)? Like to the point scientists have them captive and are running experiments on them? The Walking Dead need not apply.

Don’t have time to make a big post about it now but I really liked Midsommar.

Midsommar was complete trash; at 2.5 hours it overstays its welcome and it's hardly even a horror film. The first hour of the film is just a terrible artsy drama with some downright hilarious comedy elements, then once you think shits starting to hit the fan.... it goes back into being an artsy drama. There's no big payoff either and the story is really weak. But for real, the comedy in the film is on point and my theater was laughing pretty hard for the first half off the film. After the halfway mark when the intentional comedy died off the whole place was so deflated you could feel it, until a couple scenes were the situations are so incredibly goofy and stupid you'll end up laughing at it. If you like a lot of lovely CGI smudge tool use, and a metric ton of terrible establishing shots that aren't even that great check it out.

Midsommar was great, wasn't expecting it to be such an upbeat movie, despite all the shocking violence Also, the community didn't really seem all that bad. Sure, they get murdery every so often, but they seemed to genuinely support each other and want to be there for Dani It was also a beautifully shot movie and I adored the soundtrack.

amenbrotep posted:This is also a great watch list to whomever was asking about follow ups in re MR James btw Haha that was me. I started watching The Stone Tape but after half an hour I just couldn't do it. I think it's a mix of the acting, production, and script, just... didn't grab me. Maybe I'll give it another try sometime, but I'm way more into folk horror than ghosty horror. At least Whistle and I'll Come to You had that "nature in Britain" feel with the seaside that was kind of folk-adjacent.

The Stone Tape is definitely more of a slow build to a very very interesting finale but I can see how it's not for everybody. Quatermass and the Pit, on the other hand, is for everybody. I can't imagine someone not loving Quatermass and the Pit.

I didn't just type it, I actually thought his name was Quartermass(yes, even though they say his name a bunch of times in the films) and was saying it like that in my head for probably a few years before I finally brought it up to a cousin who is British and he said it the correct way, which was a pretty embarrassing moment.

I'm as hyped for the Lighthouse as I feel everyone else is for Midsommar. It's funny both Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson actually went on to become extremely talented performers, watch Personal Shopper and Good Time (respectively) if you don't believe that both of them are extremely talented. I was excited for Midsommar at first because I thought Hereditary was decent but the marketing totally turned me off from it. What an abrasive marketing campaign.

Personal Shopper is really good, I was pretty skeptical of that one until I saw it. That, Thoroughbreds and Ingrid Goes West were a good little mini-fest.

I'm halfway through watching Mom and Dad And Nicholas Cage is unhinged and awesome. Not sure about the second half but I'll finish it on my commute home this arvo. The basic premise is something is making parents snap and kill their kids (and only their kids). Darkly funny. Selma Blair is also awesome as the mom.
