Psycho Goreman is single-handedly responsible for turning around 2021 on a dime while also undoing large swaths of the Trump presidency. It is a film that cannot be praised enough. It can only be worshiped in the peripheral of one's vision because looking at this film straight on will cause blindness.

PG just looks like it has such potential for being obnoxious. My brain refuses to imagine a version that isn't just Kung Fury.

gey muckle mowser posted:anyone know when Psycho Goreman is coming to Shudder? I might rent it this weekend but if it'll be on Shudder in a couple weeks or something I can wait All I've heard is spring. If I had to guess I'd say around April/May. I can totally understand the inclination to think it's obnoxious, but I don't think it actually does much winking at the camera exactly. I think what connected with me is that for a movie about an evil alien overlord, it has an earnestness to it that really works for me. It's not just someone pressing irony buttons, it's Kostanski really putting a lot of love into his creature craft and script.

It never looks at you and says welcome to the 1990’s. It uses its aesthetic as the only way they could tell that story at that budget.

But the trailer gave me Kung Fury vibes as well and I really can't do those intentionally bad movies with synthwave soundtracks. It's probably way better than the impression I got from the 2 minute trailer I watched though.

Judging a movie : It's trailer :: Judging a book : It's cover When I see a trailer for a movie I might possibly enjoy I make a mental note and then shut off that sucker immediately and shun all successive promotions. Because even if it doesn't give away the turn- it'll set my expectations up for inevitable failure. I honestly believe you're doing movies a disservice if you go in anything but completely blind.

Tossing into the pile another “PG is solid fun” coin. It’s more fun than funny (but it is also pretty funny!) which sets it a part from movies that are bad-on-purpose, to me. It’s really just a good movie.

It's probably way better than the impression I got from the 2 minute trailer I watched though. It’s 100% not that. When it uses stop motion it doesn’t do it to be cheeky. It does it because that’s the only way to do it at that budget. It’s sincere as gently caress. The monsters are all great and well designed but also cheesy power rangers level monsters due to the budget. It never stops and is like “lol look how dumb this looks lol” It just is.

I would say definitely temper your expectations for PG, but give it a chance. I spent a fair bit of time during the first half wishing it was just a little better than it was, but by the end it had won me over. If you expect to find it grating you'll definitely feel some of that early on. If you're like me it will be well worth enduring. I think most of the issues were just not-quite-good-enough dialogue for the kid playing the daughter. They really made her do a lot of heavy lifting - there were some great bits for her and she was clearly into it, but there were also a bunch of misfires and just nothing else going on for huge swathes of movie. I hope Alastair comes around I think she was really good for him

Well this looks dreadful, but ok.quote:Full Moon Features is furthering the Miskatonic U series (previous films include From Beyond, Re-Animator, Lurking Fear) with a new, two-part feature film, The Resonator: Miskatonic U, inspired by both the works of legendary fiction writer H.P.

The growth of my horror collection has slowed down because I have most of the stuff I feel like I "need", and almost everything else I'd like to have is from these boutique labels where it's hard to justify more than maybe treating myself to one or two each October.

I'll go ahead and give Save Yourselves! a recommendation. Its a interesting indie horror comedy about a alien invasion. It was way more comedy than horror but it was still good. It doesn't feature any hunky boys though. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Feb 19, 2021 |

Yeah, it really depends. If you don't like Fulci because you saw The Beyond and City of the Living Dead and they don't make any sense, New York Ripper is a different kind of movie. But IMO Lizard in a Woman's Skin is a better giallo, and Murder Rock is a better slasher. (The only problem with Murder Rock is that the music isn't...rock, or very good at all.)

Not bad. just checked and mine is 69%  That's higher in reality, probably more like 75%. Sometimes Letterboxd doesn't have things tagged as horror that definitely should be (like, Richard Stanley's Hardware), and then horror-adjacent stuff that isn't tagged that I would count (Lost Highway, Hobo With a Shotgun, Frailty, to name a couple I saw at a glance)

The Black Cat (1981) City of the Living Dead (1980) Zombie (1979) The Beyond (1981) Don't Torture a Duckling (1972) House by the Cemetery (1981) Aenigma (1987) I love both giallo and supernatural horror. Of Fulci's I only genuinely liked The Black Cat, and in retrospect I thought Don't Torture and City of the LD were ok.

married but discreet posted:The Black Cat (1981) Top of my recommendations would be The Psychic and Lizard in a Woman's Skin. Two really good giallo, the latter starting to lean in the hallucinatory direction Fulci would go in some of his later stuff. If you want to see something truly bonkers and... arguably awesome, Conquest is a perverted 13 year old's D&D campaign come to life not horror, but if you like Westerns i'll also shout out Four of the Apocalypse, very good mean spaghetti western
