Is Devil All the Time a spook-a-doodle? I'm excited to check it out but I'll save it for the challenge if it is.

American Ring will always slap. it's a shame none of the other j-horror remakes could hit that level.

an owls casket posted:Performing some post necromancy here, but agreed on all counts. My wife and I are watching all of the Ring movies for our special Halloween episode of our podcast-- much more palatable than the Saw episode we did last year-- and Ringu is probably the weakest of the three adaptations. Ring Virus gets props for being the truest to Koji Suzuki's book (which is great and a pretty quick read), but the American remake is my favorite. Did y’all watch any of the sequels as part of that? Cause Rasen, the Ringu sequel they made before Ringu 2, is really weird and apparently follows the book’s sequel. I’m not sure it’s very good, but it’s an interesting curiosity and worth checking out

I've been watching Michael Mann films in order to stay away from horror and goddamn I've seen it before but Manhunter is easily one of the best serial killer movies ever made. Goddamn. Just everything about it is perfect. Especially the sound track, ugh want that sound track badly. So good. Also its way ahead of its time. I mean Silence of the Lambs sure is the best one ever made , but Manhunter just oozes style and substance. When the music is building for him finally figuring out the final peice of the puzzle is amazing.

Just watched The Stuff. It's so drat clunky but a classic case of fun outweighing all other factors. Such a great idea with a truly bizarro script that doesn't focus on the organic execution of that concept, and it was clearly either made in or chopped to hell in editing. But it's got a great blob monsters and some very fun consumerist skewering and there's some genuinely clever and original sequences.

It's amazing that Manhunter feels as coherent as it does. You can see the aesthetic and tone of Lambs in a lot of Tom Noonan's scenes, while so much of Will Graham is pure Miami Vice. It's a wonderful film.

We chat in the "horror-director-tournament" room, and stream in "horror director tournament" voice channel. To join a stream you just click that "live" button and it'll give you the option to watch. I use the desktop version, so it might be slightly different on the phone app. People have had trouble before watching streams through Firefox, so that's not recommended.  If you want to do your own streams, I'm not sure if there's an optimal setup, but I'm on a Windows machine running the Discord desktop app, and I'm literally just screen sharing VLC player. Speedtest.net says my upload speed is 21mbps, so that's probably a good benchmark for stutterless play at 720p.

It's a wonderful film. The whole movie is ahead of its time really, it could be called a proto CSI and all the myriad of different "forensic" cop shows where evidence is used and there's a real focus on the forensic science of the movie. From the forensic guy doing the photo of the tissue paper, to the teeth marks, everything about it. Its just such a good film.

And I'm not saying that to detract from his work, I love almost everything Refn does, but I get the impression stuff like Manhunter influenced him a lot.

When I was taking film classes the professor insisted it was the best criminal profiler film, so that's not an unusual opinion at all. I still like Silence of the Lambs for its casting and some other stuff, but I would never disagree with someone preferring the workings of Manhunter instead anime tupac fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Sep 24, 2020 |

Debbie Does Dagon posted:Discord info Thanks so much! I’m hoping to take the plunge into the October challenge for the first time and want to focus on doodles that are new to me. In Manhunter talk, I’m torn on which actor’s portrayal of Dolarhyde I prefer throughout all the adaptations. My first exposure was to Fiennes, followed by the dude that played him in the TV show, and finally Noonan. I enjoy each interpretation for different reasons but I have a real soft spot for Fiennes. It’s probably a case of first impressions, but Fiennes (to me) disappears into the role more than Noonan. I feel like I can’t watch Tom Noonan in a film without constantly thinking Man, I really enjoy Tom Noonan in this role. Same thing in House of the Devil.

WeaponX posted:976-Evil 2 is a fun NOES rip-off from Jim Wynorski and makes for a good, silly, spooky-season film. Man you’re pretty much right but if only the whole movie was as bonkers as the “Its a Wonderful Life”/“Night of the Living Dead” scene. Also points off for the Freddy stand-in being a community college dean with cold sores. Still good for a laugh but could have been so much more. And on the subject of “Targets,” am I the only person alive who constantly forgets Peter Bogdanovich and Eric Bogosian are not the same guy?

Noonan has a brooding menace in every single scene he is in. He's so alien and weird, especially his interactions with the love interest. Fienes for me just doesn't have that he's intimidating and he plays the character wonderully but he just isn't weird. He's quite handsome and i think this detracts from dollarhyde's potrayal.

I don’t like to make a set list in advance for the challenge because I enjoy finding new stuff from reading other posters’ reviews and doing challenges and such, but I do intend to watch as many of the remaining 13 films I haven’t seen from Edgar Wright’s top 100 horror list and maybe the handful I’m missing from Slate’s list too. Also get caught up with blu-rays I own but haven’t watched yet...

I like American Ring because it captures the loneliness and isolation of being the one bearing the curse of the tape better. I'm not sure if it works quite as well as a horror film, it definitely doesn't have the same sense of dread Ringu does, but I think it does its own thing and does it really well.
