That ending felt like it fit more to me, but then her character just grated on my nerves. married but discreet posted:A Quiet Place is a really good creature feature if you haven't seen it yet. Tickets are on sale tomorrow by me. I might see it on Sunday. Pretty much seeing Alice Krige as the witch in the trailer sealed the deal for me.

ScootsMcSkirt posted: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 It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but I thought Feast was a lot of fun. Incredibly mean-spirited, but fun. Definitely check out Underwater. There were a lot of great underwater horror movies in the 80s that were brought up a while ago, most notably DeepStar Six and Leviathan. Deep Rising was pretty good. They all had some great creature designs.

Didn't dig Feast but I gotta admit, the monster design for the big guys was pretty awesome. Guessing the art director just said "When in doubt, add more teeth".

With regards to creature features to pile on your list: It's not really horror, but Outlander pops to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZBoXCLG_28

I just watched Rosemary's Baby for the first time, and honestly it was nothing like I was expecting. Like, I knew it was about a woman having the devil's baby and all, but I wasn't expecting to be "Gaslighting: The Movie". It's like 90% Rosemary being emotionally abused by everyone in her community, and then 10% a Satanic plot at the end. I'm pretty sure I liked it? I'm going to have to sit with this one for a little while.

Yeah she's basically "Something's wrong with my baby!" for the first two acts and then the punchline is "yep." I feel like it benefited greatly from being a mainstream take on a genre theme, but I haven't done the research to see how popular devil-babies were prior.

I don’t know about mainstream, but it’s definitely the first “new hollywood“ take on it. The Evolution of Horror podcast has been doing occult movies this season and the host pointed out that The Devil Rides Out came out in the same year as Rosemary’s Baby, and how wildly different they feel.

Yea the mundane horror of having a husband who doesn't care about your feelings and random people you don't know forcibly inserting themselves into your life is really what makes Rosemary's Baby so special. Most other films that work with a similar presence go much further into the supernatural stuff and that's just a different type of movie. The first half of Mother! was a lot like Rosemary's Baby actually.

When I rewatched it last year I was surprised with how fast he turns on her. My memory was that he was an rear end in a top hat who didn’t care about her feelings, like you said, and then slowly gets brought into the conspiracy. When actually he’s fully conspiring against her after one dinner and the promise of a part in a loving play.

But I do think it's scarier when you don't know that, because you're kinda in Rosemary's shoes as she has to deal with that confusion and realization that her husband just isn't listening and isn't going to help her. As if it were a Body Snatchers movie and he'd been replaced by a pod person.

It's an area where I'm not familiar, but I have the impression Polanski was a huge name outside of horror in the late 60s. Rosemary's Baby was a big deal because it was a major studio putting big money and names into what typically wouldnt have been a "serious" film. In that way, you got this crossover appeal - like the Exorcist or Jaws later, you've got a professional execution of (what was traditionally) a drive-in concept. I didn't realize that William Castle produced Rosemary's Baby, though! I just discovered that now, and that's a cool thing to find out.

Eh. All of Polanski’s early films are horror dramas and thriller dramas. He didn’t venture out of that until the 70’s, with stuff like China Town, and even then he kept making horror.

Thrillers yeah, I should have specified supernatural horror. I don't think there were any monsters or witches pre-Rosemary, which probably increased the shock of the "twist" ending.

COOL CORN posted:I just watched Rosemary's Baby for the first time, and honestly it was nothing like I was expecting.

It's like 90% Rosemary being emotionally abused by everyone in her community, and then 10% a Satanic plot at the end. It definitely plays on the fears of pregnancy, particularly first time pregnancy. Going from my experience when I was pregnant with my son, despite how much I'd read up on what to expect and all the commentary/advice both solicited and not, I still had more than a few times of wondering 'what's wrong??'. First time I felt my son move, it felt more like slithering rather than the 'butterfly wings' the books described. Cravings were nothing like the 'just really having a taste for a particular something' I expected, I'd get downright snarly if I didn't eat what food I was craving. I'd watch movies that I'd been fine with before, and start bursting into tears. Not helping either was being one of the small percentage who end up having morning sickness last the entire pregnancy and even then, it was more like 24/7 sickness with it being a gamble with what would stay down this time. As much as it's stressed 'every pregnancy is different', actually experiencing it's something else. Watching Rosemary's Baby while pregnant, I was extremely sympathetic to Rosemary because I did have a few times of voicing my concerns and being told it's nothing and feeling like the body I'd lived my life in was throwing me the finger while changing. Second pregnancy was pretty much 'eh, this poo poo again, I'm good'. moths posted:Yeah she's basically "Something's wrong with my baby!" for the first two acts and then the punchline is "yep." Just going off the top of my head, I don't remember there being much if any before Rosemary's Baby.

Invisible Man looks cool, and Upgrade was fun. Charlie Kaufman's I'm Thinking of Ending Things comes out in the next month or two on Netflix, and I can't wait to see what he does with a horror film. Probably my most anticipated film of the year.
