I would like to see Plaza in a proper really cerebral horror film which Black Bear and Ingrid Goes West inch towards. Life After Beth is pretty fun, but I don't think she worked in Child's Play. The Little Hours isn't horror but it's got witches and is pretty fun! I would really, really love to see her in a Jordan Peele movie.

Watching Prince of Darkness, which I haven’t seen in a very long time (20+ years). The atmosphere is great in this. So oppressive and foreboding.

I haven't seen Black Bear but it's hard to imagine anything topping those last couple minutes of Hunter Hunter anytime soon.

A Proper Uppercut posted:Maybe it was a different movie, but I think the trailer for this just made me think of The Bye Bye Man. And speaking of cosmic horror, watched Synchronic recently and it was enjoyable, and had some inklings of cosmic horror but it felt a bit weaker and more schmaltzy compared to The Endless or Resolution.

Spatulater bro! posted:Alice, Sweet Alice was great. Felt like an American giallo. I watched that for the first time the other night too. I also caught the giallo vibes. You can also feel the Don’t Look Now influence. I’ve actually been going through a list of lesser known 70s horror that got posted on Bloody Disgusting, which included Alice Sweet Alice. The only one I had seen on the list was Blood on Satan’s Claw (which owns), so in the last week I’ve also watched The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (loving dope) and Messiah of Evil (like a 70s Carnival of Souls). Just gotta watch Deathdream now

I just looked it up and it sounds amazing. It's also on the They Shoot Zombies list (which I'm very biased towards), and it's on Shudder. I've been trying to pick a movie to watch tonight after the Chief's game and this might be it. Also, yes Messiah of Evil and The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (aka Let Sleeping Corpse Lie) are both great.

Blood on Satan’s Claw is considered one of the “big 3” of folk horror together with Wicker Man and Witchfinder General. I personally love it, but I would advise people to check out a list of content warnings for it if you’re sensitive to sexual violence and abuse

Blood on Satan's Claw and Wirchfinder General are both pretty rough in that regard. The Wicker Man being comparatively tame might be part of the reason it's also the best known of the three.

It doesn't quite fit since there is nothing actually supernatural and folk lore just barely comes into play but the setting and mood is pretty folk horror. Also I think it's because Blood on Satan's Claw was partly greenlit because it could capitalize off the popularity of Wirchfinder General. So even if Wirchfinder General isn't as folk horror as the other three but it was the first. Also folk horror was never an organized movement or anything. The name folk horror wasn't even coined until 2005 when the director of Blood on Satan's Claw said that he'd been trying to make a "folk horror" film in an interview with Fangoria.

Folk horror for me means the performance of european pagan religious rituals is the source of the horror. So obviously Wicker Man or Midsommar or Kill List.

Personally I wouldn't limit it to European folk religions and lore which is why something like Kwaidan or Onibaba is folk horror to me.

Serious question: is A Dark Song considered folk horror due to the presence of rituals? I kind of agree with this definition of folk horror, although the implication of rituals rather than their explicit representation should be included too.

In my estimation the key to folk horror is tension between the “civilized” usually Christian world and the ancient pagan world, with an isolated setting being a key element as well. Blair Witch is folk horror by this interpretation, as is A Dark Song, yeah. The Wailing, too

I'm really behind in the thread so someone may have linked this already, but the Nevermore virtual film festival page just went live. It's a 20+ year old horror festival that always has a mix of shorts and features, including international stuff. Some of the more recent movies I've seen at this festival include The Love Witch, 13 Cameras, Grand Piano, Blood Vessel, Scare Package, and H0us3. I'm a little curious about whether they got fewer submissions this year because of the virtual format, but most of the locals I know are excited that they were able to organize an event at all because the theater that runs this festival is a nonprofit that's planning to stay closed until at least July. If I'm reading the list right, it looks like they'll be streaming 11 features and a ton of shorts that are all packaged together in 8 different hour-and-a-half long blocks. You can buy individual tickets or an $80 pass for the whole thing, and it's available to stream between Feb 26 and Mar 4 in most states within a reasonable driving distance of the NC theater that hosts it. (The full list of states is NC, SC, VA, WV, TN, KY, OH, GA, DC, and PA.) More info here: https://nevermore.eventive.org/welcome
