Drunkboxer posted:Do you plan on knocking out all those spooky softcore movies in a row or sprinkle them throughout as sort of a pallet cleanser? I always kind of like reading reviews of those the most because I know I'll probably never actually sit down to power through them. I'm going to try and pick as randomly as possible to avoid any cognitive bias. I might break that rule and watch all of the AU films at once though, just so I can do a compare and contrast.

Here's my lineup for next month. The only one's I've seen before are The Mummy and Incident at Loch Ness Incident at Loch Ness owns, btw. I strongly recommend it, if you want to see a documentary about Werner Herzog trying and failing to make a documentary about the Loch Ness Monster

Drunkboxer posted:What is it about that movie that appeals so specifically to people from Winnipeg? I mean you guys were right of course, it's great, but why there? I have no idea. It came out when my mom was like 12 and traumatized her, and just stuck with her from there.

Franchescanado posted:2020 has taught me to value De Palma, who’s career in horror alone is remarkable. The horror director tournament especially sealed his place in the canon for me. Yeah 100% agree. Always been a fan of his more well known stuff, but getting to dive into a few titles I glanced past previously really elevated my appreciation of him.

Not super excited about it being directed by Nicotero because I'm not really convinced he knows what he's doing but I do like the idea of making them fully animated.

Drunkboxer posted:I recently rewatched it for the first time since it came out and it's definitely a well made ghost movie, but scares just didn't land for me this time. I guess maybe it just doesn't hold up to repeat viewings for me even though I originally saw it so long ago. Also I've always preferred the tape footage from the original Ringu, the American tape seems a little too slick and hollywoody whereas the one in Ringu feels like something you might actually find on an unmarked tape. I felt the opposite; I recently rewatched the original and didn't feel the jumpscares the same way I did the first time, and that the Japanese version had an extraneous segment at the end (and I feel like Naomi Watts brings a lot to the American version). I'm not disagreeing with your assessment; I just ended up liking the American remake more, which is something I never say. fake edit: I did feel this way about The Grudge

Unless I’m doing something really wrong shudder and amazon prime shudder appear to have different content after all. Well, the same content, but the prime version definitely has less even online

Yeah, Shudder standalone has some stuff that Shudder through Amazon doesn't due to certain rights limitations, and it's a crapshoot which ones end up being omitted as far as I could tell.

Anisocoria Feldman posted:It's not that I don't enjoy Noonan's performances, I actually like them a lot. I just always see Tom Noonan first, and the character second. It may just be due to the types of roles in which he's cast. I have a similar mindset with John C. McGinley. the curse of a character actor

20 mins in and Verotika really is like Tommy Wiseau's Adult Goosebumps. It's kind of amazing.

From what I understand it's based on a comic that Danzig produced or whatever? I can at least give him this, that first segment has a few shots that do have that comic book look to them. Nothing like Creepshow but you can see what he's going for at the very least.

Looked up the body of work of the animation studio and it's not exactly promising—most of their stuff looks like flash animation circa 2009. But fingers crossed they at least attempt to evoke an EC comics feel. The live action show is rough but it has the right heart so hopefully this is able to pull off what its counterpart couldn't quite manage with fewer limitations. Neither story's logline seems like it's something that would take advantage of the animated format particularly, though.

If you cut out the scenes of strippers doing their routines and the Elizabeth Bathory knockoff wordlessly bathing in blood, the runtime would be reduced by at least 30 mins. Overall, each segment is more bare on plot and fun than the last. That final segment was a total slog though, entertainment wise, but still bafflingly bad in a kind of way that's weirdly fascinating. It's all so awkward. Even the host is devoid of any charisma, delivering her intros with this stilted deadpan tone. Danzig should've just made countess Drusilla or whatever the host, introducing the segments from her blood tub, cut the final segment out completely and kept the whole thing down to an hour long failed pilot.
