Does anyone else prefer Creepshow 2 to the original? Chief Wooden Head is kind of a clunker but The Raft and The Hitchhiker are both fantastic and the animated parts are primo 80s cheese.

I think you're definitely in the minority there but I do love Creepshow 2. I just consider Creepshow to be one of the two or three best anthologies ever made so it wasn't going to be easy to top it. I think the real decider is that Creepshow has 5 segments, which for me is a lot better than 3. When you only have 3 they tend to drag.

For me the original may have more but none really stay with me aside from the asteroid one and the cockroach one and even then both only for certain shock scenes. The Raft and Hitchhiker are both longer but are legitimately much creepier and scarier than anything else in that Creepshow has. Really my only major issue is Chief Wooden Head which has good moments and a great villain but drags on WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long. The part at the start with the old couple could have easily been cut by at least 5 minutes.

That zombie holding the birthday cake head is iconic tho. And The Crate, man! I think the only forgettable segment from the original Creepshow is the Ted Danson ocean ghost revenge thing.

You'll get a lot of people who will say the Ted Danson/Leslie Nielson segment is their favorite so yea, Creepshow is definitely one of the most consistently good anthologies ever.

God that Halloween episode was a piece of poo poo. The werewolf episode was fun, but the budget REALLY just made it feel like Furries VS The SS Which I'm fine with

I'd heard of the roach segment years before I had seen Creepshow and though it's not the best segment it's more memorable than say the monster in a box one.

Darthemed posted:1. David Cronenberg What are some movies you'd recommend from Kiyoshi Kurosawa? I loved The Pulse, does anything else he's done have that same feel? FreudianSlippers posted:Miike is definitely worthy of a spot but he's made a 100+ films and only a small portion of them are horror. I've heard that in Japan he's even better known for his crime films than his horror stuff. And as others have mentioned, if you're allowing for people who have done few horror movies Hitchcock is the best (The Birds and Psycho are both great horror entries regardless).

Ted Danson one just for Leslie Nealson. But I love Lonesome Death a whole lot. It’s so fun and sad.

My fave segment is The Crate just because I like Adrienne Barbeau and Hal Holbrooks"'s "chemistry", the concept is so doofy and yet the reality is visceral as hell, and the creature owns.

A film I see mentioned a lot in non-horror films with excellent horror sections is A Field in England. Anyone have opinions before I sit down to watch it?

I ended up turning off Tammy because it was the PG-13 cut and I am on a spending freeze for a while so no shudder. But I watched Maniac and Lords of Chaos and The Nightingale and they were all very good movies

Get wasted, and it might make a little sense. You are in for a loving trip regardless. e: on the weird coincidental topic of psilocybin, A Field in England has probably the second best depiction of actually tripping in cinema.

Hereditary had very good acting behind a tight narrative. Midsommar, in my opinion, had beautiful sets and pieces, but was sprawling to a fault. Both are good and each one have a particular appeal. I like Hereditary and Green Room more.
