STAC Goat posted:Yeah, the boyfriend's not evil or anything but he's a completely selfish (which is hammered home by the thesis thing or how quickly he sells out his friends) and neglectful dick and that's a big part of what pushes his girlfriend to the much more comforting and sympathetic arms of that Swedish dude and the cult. Its manipulative and predatory "love" but its more than she's getting from her lovely boyfriend after she's lost everyone else. Your post made the one I was typing moot, but I will add that they're grad students which should put them closer to 30 in age, he should be expected to be a better partner.

I'm sad to report that Monstrum, the 16th century Korean monster movie on Shudder, is not very good, and also not very bad unfortunately. The inconsistent stylistic execution is extremely grating and kept taking me right out of the movie. It's not a huge waste of time either, so whatever.

STAC Goat posted:I think the only person REALLY unlikable in Midsommar is the boyfriend because he's just kind of a douche. That other rear end in a top hat friend is annoying but seems kind of harmless. And like, Florence Pugh's character at most was kind of neurotic and that's only a thing for like the first 5 minutes of the film and then if you're not sympathetic to her issues I don't know what to say. I guess what I don't get is...what horror isn't about making people suffer? Even if folks don't die, there's gonna be bad stuff happening. That's like the central premise of horror. It's basically People Gonna Suffer: the genre.

The drive in theater in my town just opened back up and I'm going to see The Boy 2 there tomorrow, so I watched The Boy tonight since I hadn't seen it. What the gently caress? It's an incredible movie. I'm legitimately angry that I didn't see it in theaters and that no one told me it was incredible.

COOL CORN posted:https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/327119/horror-producer-adam-donaghey-charged-with-sexual-assault-of-minor/ I am not going to lie, I saw this headline and my brain crossed some wires. I fused Adam Wingard and Michael Dougherty into a man named Adam Dougherty and went "Wait is that, no" (Mostly because they're both directors of the newest Godzilla movies so their names have been bouncing in the back of my mind for a while. Also Krampus is great and Death Note is the best horror movie of the last decade)

Coffee And Pie posted:Unfriended 1 was absolutely a ghost, how else did that one guy shoot himself He was waving a gun around while drunk, so that's pretty straightforward! In the other cases, there's really nothing that couldn't have been done by a handful of home intruders. It's much more likely: the 'ghost' manifests a webcam, adds impact font to a screencap, etc.

Man, I'm glad this conversation happened if only to hear the hot take of "no, it wasn't a ghost story it was actually a story about an intricate web of hackers and serial killers that was never mentioned or hinted at and doesn't actually fit with what was shown."

I'm usually for SMG hot takes on movies, but this is like fundamentally wrong, there is literally no support for this theory at all.

The real question is why are you posers talking about Unfriended instead of the superior Ghost In the Machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2HPq-WDnFQ E: Is Shocker a ghost in the machine too? He gets sucked into the prison tv by the devil’s sexy lips.

I was having a good chuckle about the Annihilation derail a few pages back because somehow we were suddenly in a mirror universe where SMG of all people was the one criticizing someone for "ignoring the diegesis to push a silly reading". Good to see the natural order has been restored.

OpenSourceBurger posted:So, while drunk, he slowly turned the gun on himself WHILE screaming no and shot himself? You're forgetting the context of the "no". Adam (the character who's drunk and waving a gun around) has, at that point, admitted to raping a woman - and he has been harshly rejected by Blaire (the protagonist, who he has a thing for). Like, in order to protect her current relationship to the jealous Mitch, Blaire literally holds up a message instructing the unseen antagonist(s) to kill Adam. The Adam character is not accidentally characterized as drunk, violent, unstable, and ultimately dangerous to himself. Likewise, it's not accidental that his death is presented as a suicide that precisely coincides with his love interest declaring him dead to her. It's just eliminating the impossible. Either there's a ghost with a wifi connection and eyes that function as webcams, or the guy shot himself after a very bad day. If you accept the former, then you're going to have to explain why the omnipotent ghost with mind-control powers is choosing to act exactly as if the hackers from Dark Web were tricking a dumb guy into killing himself. Of course, Adam very much believes in the ghost, and therefore believes that he's moments from being tortured to death. So, in that sense, he is killed by a ghost. I'm just saying that the ghost isn't an AI with electricity powers. It's a more plausible dark spirit conjured by the offcreen characters from the dead girl's friends list.
