The crash zoom is what makes it hard to GIF! SomethingAwful AVs have to be under 150kb, which is almost impossible to do without making it look crappy.

There is currently a new version of Raimi's The Evil Dead with 4k restoration, new sound design and new score. It is currently in theaters only, and there is no word of a physical release.

I think it's absolute a must-watch for Evil Dead fans. I loved it.

I almost skipped out on it, because I've seen The Evil Dead a million times. I'm glad I went, because it's one of--if not the--best way I've ever seen it.

I did a full write-up in the October Challenge, if you want specifics.

Don't sleep on it. If it's playing near you, it's worth the trip.

Joined the From Beyond club last night, I enjoyed it. Good effects and design, pacing is decent, and a great descent into madness. It's been decades since I've seen Re-Animator, so it's definitely making me want to rewatch that again at some point.

I saw your write up and this sounds fuckin' awesome. Hope it gets a physical release because I will get that ASAP.


Speaking of which I somehow don't actually own Evil Dead 1 on blu-ray, there's so many releases it seems, is there one that's particularly good?

For how the movie looks, like I have it on VHS and on an old DVD so I never saw the need and forgot about it. It's kind of crazy how few blu-rays we have compared to VHS and DVD tapes we had gotten over the years. Streaming really did the trick after all.

It’s a good thing Gordon found two people to star in his movies who are down for seemingly anything. Anything less than full commitment to the insanity of those movies would ruin them.

Embarrassingly, I've realized I've never seen any Rob Zombie, so since we were all talking about it a few pages back, I just watched Halloween (2007). What a brutal film. It was great, but also a lot...sleazier? than the original. Even for a horror film there was a lot more sexual content than I'm used to. And we could have done without the graphic rape scene, jesus. But I loved the backstory stuff on Michael- to me it makes him more frightening than the inexplicable automaton of the original. His DIY masks were an excellent design.

Time for a break to obtain candy and then onto Zombie's Halloween II! gently caress I'm going to miss this month.

You can kinda feel a slight emptiness with the cast in Dagon. It's a great movie in many ways, but Ezra Godden is nowhere near Jeffrey Combs's caliber. It's missing that over-the-top commitment.

The one scene in From Beyond that I can't handle is when Combs eats the brain. I don't know how you perform that scene without vomiting all over the place. I mean, I know it wasn't a real brain but still.

This is a bit frustrating because the theatrical version cuts out the rape scene, but it ALSO cuts out a lot of small moments during Michael and Loomis' brief conversations/etc. that add a lot and develop Loomis more too. But the theatrical ending is totally different and significantly worse than the cut you saw too so it's still the definitive version of the movie.

Halloween II...does the theatrical version even exist on home video? I totally missed it in theaters but IIRC some people think its ending is better than the director's cut.

I assume the rape scene you guys are talking about is not in the work print version of Halloween? I don’t remember anything like that and boy that movie didn’t need more exploitation in that area. Like I said in my spoilers, the amount of nudity was really pointlessly excessive especially given that the Weinsteins were involved in some capacity.

I just watched it two nights ago and the nudity didn't strike me as all that excessive (apart from the rape scene which was gross and unnecessary). there were boobs in Carpenter's original too.

or maybe I'm desensitized from watching too many Jean Rollin movies

I think maybe you misread that, he was saying that nudity on it's own shouldn't weird anyone out. It's just boobs, dicks and butts, who cares? Scenes of sexual violence is a totally different thing and it's understandable why some people would try to steer clear of that.

It's almost never dicks though. I'm not averse to nudity and some titillation, but there comes a point when the third naked woman dying sexy/graphically while her boyfriend dies with his pants on is just...eh...

This has been a growing trend in the last two or three years. The only nudity in Ma, for instance, is all male nudity, including a penis. Ari Aster's films have a lot of male nudity.

The thing about American films, when it comes to ratings, it's always easier to show topless women and a little female frontal nudity. The MPAA hates penises and vaginas. Doesn't matter that almost everyone on this planet's gonna have at least one of them, genitalia is too crazy for a ratings board.

And even when male nudity is shown, it HAS to be flaccid. You can't show erections or male nudity in a sexualized situation.* You only get to see dick in Midsommar because the characters are running for their life or are going to kill. You only get to see a dick in Piranha because a fish eats it. You only get to show a dick in Ma because it may get cut off.

I genuinely believe if it weren't for the MPAA, male nudity would be much more prevalent. If you want real change, abolish the MPAA.

*This is why I think Under The Skin is interesting. For a movie where ScarJo is completely nude, the majority of the nudity is men with erections. It's not an American film, though.

I recently saw The Witch for the first time and I thought it was great, probably the most unique and well-made horror movie I've seen this decade (although I don't normally watch a lot of horror). There are a lot of themes at work here but what I mostly got from it is that devotion to family and God blows and being a witch is fukken awesome.

Hell yeah. I have a Black Phillip tat lined up in my future. I haven't had a chance to watch them together yet, but I think it'd be a really good double feature with Midsommar.
