On the other side, The Uncanny is a fairly fun cat-themed anthology which seems kind of underknown, despite featuring Peter Cushing in the framing segments.

A year later and I'm still completely weirded out by the bizarre tone of that movie and the ending where she just jumps in a stranger's car and drives off to the apocalypse while her sister happily waves. Such an odd film.

so today in "deliberately starting poo poo re: horror genre boundaries" Aniara is really good. It's also one of the most depressing films I've ever seen, so be ready for that.

The unusual ending has only served to make the film more prescient when it comes to anticipating capitalist responses to disaster.

So it's probably a given that most of these newer dtv horror anthologies are a case of someone taking a bunch of pre-existing horror shorts, cobbling them together and calling it feature, yeah?

Kvlt! posted:Please don't doxx me I made him out of clay  Fun fact: In Abrshamic religions God moulded Adam from clay. Which is where the concept of golems comes from. However in Norse mythology the first humans, Askur and Embla, were logs of driftwood that Odin and his brothers found washed up on the shore and breathed life into. Because of this the Old Norse (and modern Icelandic/Faroese) word for ghost is "Draugur" a word that originally meant "tree", a ghost (in the Norse sense) being a undead corpse and thus metaphorically a wooden log.

Anyone have any other recommendations? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995851/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 In Her Skin. Since this depicts an actual true story, not sure where it falls genre wise? But it's pretty drat horrifying. Currently on Showtime and something called FuboTV. Also, Wake In Fright, currently on Amazon Prime. I don't really know how to describe this one but we've discussed it here from time to time and I think most of us who've seen it feel it's well worth a watch.

I mean, it's in a different realm but Razorback was dope. Jaws with a pig in the outback. And Night of the Comet was fantastic. I was expecting something goofier and less satirical. Ending was great. Capitalism saved the day and turned the strong independent young woman into a stuffy waspy housewife and mother. Dark poo poo. e: Yeah and Body Melt was excellent. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Sep 25, 2019 |

Just rewatched Little Shop of Horrors for the first time in decades, and man it's good. There are a few jokes I never got like Seymour apparently having taken the dentist's body back to the plant shop via subway. Also, Audrey II might be my favorite monster design.

I'm not so sure. In some cases, probably, but a lot of them seem purpose-made, and certainly all the more prominent ones like the VHSes and ABCs of Death and Southbound. My understanding is that if there's any kind of strong running theme or concept, they're probably purpose-made, and if they just seem like a random grab bag it's probably a fix-up made from existing shorts.

One Cut of The Dead is amazing. Just go in blind. I ended up pausing it at the (first) credit scroll to ask the thread what was so good about it. It is the feel-good hit of the summer. Seriously great movie.
