If that's the case then he had much, much better choices than a track from Burzum's debut album. I mean he had Carl McCoy and Lemmy playing parts in his movies, for gently caress's sake.


I don’t think using something Lemmy played on would exactly distance him from scrutiny wrt nazi poo poo. Metal musicians are virtually all idiots.

It sucks that he/they went with the song. I wish he hadn't because I'd rather discuss how good the movie is.

So do that. It’s fairly obscure trivia info, and from other posts here it sounds likely that 1) Varg won’t get any money from this, 2) Richard Stanley isn’t a secret Nazi, and 3) maybe the guy in charge of music isn’t up to date on his 90s black-metal lore.

Or should everybody involved in the selection of music for a film just always Google “has [artist] ever committed [any crime ever]?”

I think that quick scene of whatever alien planet we saw was one of the best shots in the movie, I want to see a whole goddamn planet full of mind-shattering cosmic horrors :cthulhu:

It was explained by a few posters though that Stanley was extremely aware of the black metal scene in the 90's and a second song on the soundtrack is by the band that included the victim that was murdered. So it's kinda tough to assume it was a random coincidence now that I have that information.

Doesn't mean Stanley is a nazi necessarily but I would like to hear a statement from him on it, at least.

One of my favorite shots was Lavinia lighting up and the carving on her head glowing. All the forest shots were so drat pretty as well.

People used to ask Lemmy if he was a Nazi, because he collected memorabilia and had the totenkopf on his hat. His reply was always "I've had two black girlfriends, if I'm a Nazi I'm not very good at it".

I really wonder how Lovecraft would have reacted to the world post the 1930s. He was a complicated dude who probably needed some serious help and I'm really curious how it would have affected his writing and ideas.

One of his biggest things, which follows the liberal thing to a T, was how closed off he was. Dude virtually never had his views challenged or had to think about them too hard.

Mind I also wonder that about other artists who died really young. There's a whole subset of people that were self destructive and fascinating.

I just watched it last night and i think it's pretty solidly in horror territory, or at least a thriller.

He would have condemned Nazis as soon as they attacked upper-crust Englishmen, the only people Lovecraft considered truly white.

I've no doubt that Robert E. Howard would have shed some of his lovely attitudes if he'd lived longer.

help horror thread. There's this movie i think i saw in the theaters around 2002-2006, cant recall the exact year, that I cannot remember the name of. The gist of it was that there were these creatures that would mark you as a child with a literal mark on your skin. When you became older, they would stalk you from the darkness and take you to the dark realm when they could get to you.

I recall three scenes from the movie. One where a woman is swimming at an indoor swimming pool and the lights go off and I think she is taken then. The next scene is where the main character has her boyfriend look over her body and he cant find the mark. Its revealed later that the mark is on her head or something that they did not check. The last scene I recall is from the very end of the movie where the main character is in the darkness realm and trying to get the attention of someone else to help her. She can see out of the darkness realm to the real world and the portal she sees through is located in a closet that another person is looking in. The person eventually closes the door on her cause they cant see/hear her and thats how the movie ends

I thought it was a Wes Craven thing cause I remember the commercials kept playing up that it was made by someone horror-famous, but looking through his IMDB, i cant find it. Its not a particularly scary or good movie, but I cannot find it now and thats bothering the crap outta me. Anyone recall this or am I just goin crazy?

theres more than one ending? The one i saw was in theaters and it ended like i said before, main character gets ignored while trapped in the dark realm and gets the door shut on her literally and metaphorically. I could be mis-remembering it cause it was back in 2002 since i last saw it. Honestly, the ending was the scariest part of the movie and stuck with me the longest since its so bleak. Wouldnt be totally surprised if they made a more traditional "main character saves the day" kinda ending to go with it on DVD

The thing I like most about Trash Humpers is that The eponymous humpers feel more like supernatural forces than individual people. You can't really understand them, they're purely devoted to chaos. They're modern instantiations of the witches from Macbeth.

Jaws series
Deep Blue Sea
The Relic
Sweetheart
Gremlins
Critters
Crawl
Razorback
The Ritual
Mimic
Species
Pumpkinhead
Dog Soldiers
The Meg
Leviathan
The Fly

Any other recommendations for creature features? IDK why, but i just love having big scary monsters that pick off the cast one-by-one. I do wanna see Underwater when I have the chance, it looks right up my alley

Well you missed Tremors, so I'm triggered.

Anaconda, Attack The Block!, Ghoulies, Spookies, Slugs, The Deadly Spawn, Grizzley, The Blob ('88), The Gate, Phase IV, Dagon, Troll Hunter (in a way), The Descent, Lake Placid, The Shallows, Eight Legged Freaks

Man, They annoyed me so much.

There's a scene where she ends up digging some weird artifact thing out of her loving head (and iirc it's BIG), and it's like "Dude, that's proof that you aren't crazy, just take it and show it to whoever you need to", but instead I think she shoves it down the sink or something instead.

great suggestions and fwiw, I adored Tremors as a kid. I did say that my list was incomplete

Decided to check out Feast before I saw anyones recs and jesus this is a mean fuckin movie. It has really good practical effects and the creatures are pretty cool looking but man, it just fuckin hates the characters and the viewer. There are sexual assault and disabled people jokes in like the first 5 minutes, the black guy dies immediately, and theres even an extended sequence where a woman is tied up and used as bait before a creature orally assaults her. Just fuckin :yikes: as much as possible

Even if it werent for the extremely problematic stuff, its mired by having a pretty unlikeable cast and the cinematography is firmly stuck in the early 2000's shaky cam which makes all of the action nauseating

The movie does have some interesting moments, but all the other crap makes it not worth watching and now i feel really gross for even seeing it in the first place

A Quiet Place is a really good creature feature if you haven't seen it yet.

Anyone seen Gretel and Hansel yet? Trailer looked really promising and I'm considering whether it's worth seeing in the theatres.
