There's a few scenes that are particularly funny in Barbarian but I didn't think it was that funny of a picture.

edit:

Spoilered for Barbarian

The loving cops not doing anything and just driving away is top tier and representative of what would actually happen

We didn’t undersell it we put in the spoilers because it’s the best part of the movie to discover for yourself

First ep of del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosity was ok. Pretty good but nothing really special in terms of spooks, direction, or performances. Neither of these first 2 eps though is from one of the director’s i’m really watching for so hopefully there’s so more interesting stuff as we go on.

I’m finally watching Barbarian and I did not expect to feel so thoroughly seen by a movie.

Only 20 minutes in, but that “ridiculous” way that Bill Skarsgard has for putting on a comforter cover? Yeah I don’t know how he stole my patented method.

I look around on Youtube. Crypt TV and ALTER are my first go tos, then I start looking over anything analog horror like Gemini Home Entertainment, Mister Manticore, Eventide Media Center, Bitesized Nightmares. There's more but that should be a start.

Some pretty obvious ones:

The Black Tower (1987)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw6exAfUWMI
A ominous tower follows a man through London. Told almost entirely through off screen narration.

Curve (2016)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dD3Fawk4y0
A woman tries to survive trapped on a curved concrete surface above a seemingly bottomless pit.

Childer (2019)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRCK3umiKQQ
A mother tries to protect her home and son from strange feral children.

Geometria (1987)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeAt-0Ub9
A student turns to black magic to try to gain an academic advantage.

Chainsaw Scumfuck (1988)
https://youtu.be/-fEVmiB9hgQ
Title self explanatory.


Also shameless self promotion my own short that all of you have probably already seen:

Necromancy Tutorial (2021)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARSAtHSgNe4
A YouTube tutorial on raising the dead.

Most of the British Ghost Story for Christmas tv films probably count as shorts and most of the older ones are great.

Especially Whistle and I'll Come to You, The Signalman, Lost Hearts, and Warning to the Curious.

First episode of Cabinet of Curiousities is pretty good and honestly its kind of charming to have Del Toro introduce each episodes along with naming the director of each episode. Its kind of nice.

I think tomorrow and Friday will be the good eps.

Tomorrow we have David Prior (The Empty Man) with David S Goyer on script duty and then Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night)

Friday is Panos Cosmatos (Mandy, Beyond the Black Rainbow) followed by Jennifer Kent (Babadook)

What the hell is the name of the movie where the two guys put on sleeping bags and dance around while singing "Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye", because for like ten whole seconds I expected Skarsgard to start doing that

This is the correct opinion

e: It's definitely what I want out of a modern anthology show so far. Creepshow is fun and schlocky but extremely, extremely rough around the edges and falls on its face a lot. This has a bit of a less-schlocky Tales from the Crypt vibe.

I expected it to be good. I didn't expect it to be so narratively broad but also tight as a loving drum. There's not actual waste on that bone : yeah it gets slower, but that's counterpoint.

Got around to watching Deadstream the other day. I liked it; i'd probably give it a B-. Veered into slightly campy Sam Raimi Evil Dead territory at times. The douchebag streamer became oddly likeable throughout the movie.

it is not the first time I have been racist in the name of my own mistake and sadly probably not the last

Opopanax posted:

I understand that he's supposed to be an annoying parody of a facile, attention-craving streamer, but you still have to spend 80 minutes with the guy and it was a trial for me. Most of the jokes don't land, either.

On the positive end, I caught Smile tonight and thought it was really good. The obligatory elevated horror psychological tropes don't really hit their mark, but it had some great scares and absolute top-notch music + sound editing
