M_Sinistrari posted:^ Kwaidan's a must see classic. Agreed 100%. Kwaidan is amazing. gey muckle mowser posted:Cure is extremely good, right up there with Pulse. I like Dark Water too. I haven’t seen Nightmare Detective in years but I remember liking it. The Red Shoes is Korean, not Japanese, but I think it fits with what you’re looking for. Cure and Dark Water are two of my all-time favorites, exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Haven't seen Nightmare Detective and The Red Shoes, so I'll check those out. Thanks!

The best Dark Waters is 1993 film and is my horror movie deep cut. Post your favorite horror movie deep cut film. Deep cut is a obscure horror movie most people have never heard of and much less seen. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Mar 15, 2020 |

It's kind of infamous trash cinema, but maybe Wild Zero counts as a deep cut. It's about the Japanese band Guitar Wolf (and Ace, their biggest fan) fending off a zombie apocalypse. It's available in its entirety on YouTube in glorious 360p. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_D9OjDoQ0 Rock 'n' Roll JET-Movie!

More people should watch Demons, Demons 2, The Church, Death Spa, and The Eyes of My Mother. I wouldn’t say they’re deep cuts to this thread, but we have a lot of fresh faces that may not know these faves.

That's still Armata Strigoi, a licensed board game in which the members of the metal band Powerwolf travel back in time and become werewolves so they can use their music to fight vampires. (It's far better than it deserves to be, actually.)

The only deep cut that's not just a standard horror thread suggestion is Human Lanterns, on Amazon Prime. Probably the best kung fu horror movie there is.

So I watched The Addiction which really fits into that '90s, black and white, post-Cold War, nihilistic, downer moment, which feels like a departure for Ferrara. The films I've seen of his so far have all been dark in subject matter, but very bright and colourful in presentation. It also does the vampires as a metaphor thing, which didn't 100% work for me. Vampires stand apart from humanity to an extent that trying to make them relatable as metaphors feels a bit like a doomed venture, they're always just going to ultimately feel like aloof serial killers more than whatever metaphor you're trying to convey. So I was really happy that genocide and evil were the more prominent overarching themes. It sounds like I'm complaining, but The Addiction is easily in my top 5 vampire movies. It's just that it's a film that is so densely packed with themes, there's a lot to chew over, pick at and debate. So yeah, it's arty and it made my brain feel challenged, which is a good thing. Walken also steals the film in the same way he steals it in Pulp Fiction. He's there for a moment, chews the scenery to pieces, spits it out, and disappears. Oh, and I also love how "inviting the vampire in" is extended to bodily autonomy, and how that pays off with the leaflet guy meekly saying "No thank you". Bad Lieutenant which isn't a horror film, but I think it might be my favourite Ferrara film so far, so I thought I'd mention it. I apparently really needed naked Harvey Keitel in my life. Frankenhooker because I realised I still hadn't seen this or Bad Biology yet. Not much to say other than it's a lot of fun, plenty of exploding people, boobs, humour, and the buff shower guy from Brain Damage is back. We even get an awesome Beverly Bonner cameo advocating sex workers' rights. I also really appreciate that they had a middle aged topless dancer in the club scene and it wasn't treated as a punchline. I'd say it's probably my third favourite Henenlotter film. It would be interesting to watch it back to back with The Man with Two Brains, because there's definitely a lot of parallels there. fake edit: King Vidiot posted:I still have legit Internet PTSD from, let's see, "Motorcycle Face" (you know the one), a video of a woman's autopsy, a Vice doc about that Japanese cannibal and Dissected Chan. I remember seeing a video of a Russian teenager beating someone's face with a hammer in a forest, and that's the day I stopped visiting ogrish. It wasn't even the violence or gore that shook me up, it was the guy trying to feebly defend himself and then go limp... I'll still watch documentaries with real violence in them though. There's a documentary about Tiananmen Square that is GRAPHIC, but it almost seems important to witness historical abuses like that Debbie Does Dagon fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Mar 15, 2020 |

I think the boring answer is that I've only read one book on film criticism, Film as Film by Perkins, and the gist of that was "judge films based on how well they do what they're trying to do, and cut out the bullshit" which seems like good advice

Sarchasm posted:Any good Japanese ghost story recommendations? Looking for something grim and self-serious like Noroi or Pulse. Bonus points if it was released within the past few years, but don't let that stop you from recommending some hidden gem. Although they’re not Japanese, I’d recommend checking out Shutter (the Thai version, not the American remake), as well as the Korean Whispering Corridors series.

See, both Seventh Curse and Human Lanterns are great entertainment, but hard to compare. Human Lanterns has great cinematography, set design and choreography, and Seventh Curse has Chow Yun Fat shooting an RPG at a Ridley Scott Alien. edit: And if you want to go in that direction of craziness, you might as well watch Butterfly Murders, and do so without any spoilers. married but discreet fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Mar 16, 2020 |

The political messages in The Hunt are dumb/pointless and the movie would have been better off without them. Just have it be a regular old rich people hunting poor people for sport dark comedy and leave out all the "deplorables are bad but liberals are bad too maybe the truth is in the middle" bullshit. Glenn Howerton was pretty much just playing "Dennis, but rich", not that that's a bad thing. He made a great douchebag villain, I sort of wish the rest of the cast of it's always sunny in Philadelphia were cast as "their characters on iasip, but rich" too.

Watched Whispering Corridors this afternoon based on this recommendation. I liked it! It's thematically similar to Battle Royale, but more languid and morose. I think I've seen Shutter already but I can't remember a single goddamn thing about it so I guess I'm due for a rewatch!
