Jedit posted:Paging m_sinistrari and associated masochists to the thread: It's on my 'catching up on what's come out since I did my big franchise watch' list. And in catching up on the thread since it's now hitting the post summer slow down at work: Only films that really scared me as a kid was The Blob from '58 since that thing could ooze under the door and still get you, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers which all versions of it still scare me. It's the 'people you've always known now not being them' thing. The Killer Klowns game...I haven't gone from OOoooh YEAH to ah dammit that fast in a while. I'm just not big on multiplayer since my work schedule's an odd one and I always end up in the position of what happens when I'm the only one in the group who still keeps playing? And the Spirit Halloween store is open. Already had my first visit, will likely do another this weekend.

Flying Zamboni posted:You can't prove that any given movie character isn't a werewolf if there isn't a scene explicitly showing them hanging out as a human during a full moon. Moonfall is actually a very dedicated subversion of the werewolf genre. CelticPredator posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDt4ul73POc The klaxons really bring it together. If you'd gone with like an A24 instrumental score deal it wouldn't be even a 10th as good, but that repeating BROMP BROMP sells it.

Jaws is a slasher flick. Bruce the shark slashes a bunch of fools, until Final Girl Brody finally gets the better of him.

The V/H/S series is incredibly hit or miss, but I really appreciated that stretch where there was a new one each year in 2012, 2013, and 2014. It was fun to have a new tradition of a yearly horror franchise, especially an anthology.

Is storm drain the one with the rat king? The wake one bored the poo poo out of me. I love VHS2, every story is great and its framing story rules. That thumbs up at the end, holy poo poo lmao Any other worthwhile horror anthologies I should check out (other than Trick r Treat and Southbound)?

Indonesia, I think?), some because they suck (what if zombies BUT A GOPRO!), and some I have no idea how I feel about (the first one with the flying succubus woman). But no matter what, I'm glad that someone is keeping the lights on for anthologies of horror shorts because it's just a really good thing to exist for the genre.

Anthologies are cool because they're like appetizer samplers, easy to watch because even when something is bad its over quickly and you can hope the next one is better, and gets a lot of creators a chance to do stuff. I think the VHS series is only like half good at best but as a whole a very good thing.

Hollismason posted:They/Them is just boring. Like no good kills , no suspense, no gore. I was sitting there thinking "how loving long is this movie?" because it felt like I'd been watching it forever and absolutely no slasher stuff has happened. Pause it, and there is only 10 minutes left in the movie and the slasher shows up immediately after the pause, does almost nothing, is immediately revealed/thwarted and the movie ends. Also the reveal was about as lame as it gets. Absolutely nothing that was built up had any payoff or amounted to anything interesting. I also turned it off during the Pink dance scene and didn't return to finish it for almost 2 weeks.

Xenomrph posted:Any other worthwhile horror anthologies I should check out (other than Trick r Treat and Southbound)? Finally, papa's time to shine. I have seen, as far as I can tell, every mid to big budget horror anthology that ever got a wide release. Not counting the poo poo 'we released it for free on YouTube' ones that pop up all the time, Plex says my number is 196 horror anthologies. The good, the bad, the ugly, the lovely 80s TV ones, all of them. Now, I'm a goon on SA, so obviously my standards are loving low. But just scanning through my Plex anthology collection, here are the ones that have at least one segments that I would definitely force someone to watch:

I think the VHS series is only like half good at best but as a whole a very good thing. And even the ones that suck, it's a lot better for the creators to get quicker feedback with less of an investment. Plus horror just works in a short format better than some other genres, so it might as well.

The anthology is also excellent because it allows creators to pursue subjects that would literally never fly as a feature, or even a 30 - 40 minute film. It's how you get poo poo like this that otherwise would never exist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja6gCbPdTb8

Quality of the wraparound segments aside, I like the whole premise of them. Buncha haunted video tapes with messed up stuff that turns you into a zombie or something? That's sick as hell.

What's the thread's take on The Invitation? My wife was interested in watching it but I don't actually know a thing about it, so she requested I "ask those horror goons you're always posting with" and see if it's worth our time. Edit: Also, got around to watching Evil Dead Trap. A lot to love, but it does the lamentable thing that so much horror of the era does (lookin at you, tree from Evil Dead), where it seems like it felt obligated to include one or more god awful, wholly unnecessary scenes of sexualized violence to women, played for titillation (feels especially frequent in J-horror from the time for some reason, though that may just be selection bias from what I've watched vs haven't watched). First time is a grossly coercive and uncomfortable sex scene that didn't seem to recognize how inappropriate it was, and second is a guy just straight up spur of the moment deciding to rape a girl for shits and giggles and it feels like the scene goes on for SO LONG. After the first minute I just fast forwarded cause gently caress that poo poo. On the plus sides: cool protagonist, gonzo effects, fantastically absurd perils, and a 3rd act I truly and completely could not have guessed was coming. Very end sorta didn't make a lot of sense to me based on the information established up until then, but at that point it's all gone so off the rails that you kinda just gotta shrug and let it do its thing.

Saw it last night. I don't think it's as bad as a lot of reviews have made it out to be, but it's not very good either. It's fun when it's leaning hard into being Gothic and spooky, but that's very little of the movie. A lot of it is sort of a 50 shades kind of thing with rich aristocrat, and plucky poor artist meeting. There's also a bunch of stuff I thought (major spoilers if you care)were cutesy little references but, actually It's a sequel to Dracula, if Dracula won I'd say wait til it''s streaming. Crimson Peak it's not.
