BioTech posted:Real life horror interrupted my hangover day. I got around to The Happiness of the Katakuris and........I really expected more. My problem was that it is way too long. Dug the schizophrenic vibe, but it really felt like there was very little else to it and it just wasn't enough to carry nearly 2 hours. There were some laughs in there, I even rewinded the part where the great-grandfather accidentally revealed he killed someone and acts confused when the grandfather lets out a surprised "huh?". It barely lasts a second, but it stuck with me. It is still in my top 5 horror musicals, but that is because I have only seen 6 total and I didn't even remember Sweeney Todd till someone brought it up earlier in the thread. It has Depp and there was a chair with a slide for bodies or something? Maybe I'm thinking off the coffin slide in Bordello of Blood. At least this one will stick with me. I enjoyed The Lure way more.

Twilight Zone either really sucks or is really great depending on who you ask, so that's either disappointing or good to hear.

The trick to enjoying any Miike movie is to have absolutely no expectations regarding it's merit, both technically and artistically. You could be getting 13 Assassins, Dead or Alive 3 or Sukyaki Western Django ( ). Is he even a real person or just a pseudonym used by a bunch of Japanese directors?edit: Also let's be nice in the Horror thread and not tell anyone to gently caress themselves unless they have an opinion that I personally strongly disagree with ok?

Apparently Miike has started directing live action magical girl idol shows and that probably makes me more uncomfortable than anything else he has been a part of

Yeah but making "Manga! But live action! With all the stupid manga poo poo intact!" Is like more his thing than horror is. So, could be good? Dude made loving Ace Attorney into live action and its amazing.

Mel Mudkiper posted:gently caress you Only one way to solve this. Watch The Lure and let me know what you think. You might've liked The Happiness of the Katakuris more than I did, but we could still both agree The Lure is better. weekly font posted:Sono > Miike is my Cined contrarian corner take. I really dug Why Don't You Play in Hell?, but sticking with the musical theme, I still have no idea what to think of Tokyo Tribes. Rap battle musical where the entire gang war is based on the fact that one dude has a small penis and got insecure when he saw someone else naked at the onsen. Either way, 13 Assassins means Miike gets my vote.

I've seen the Lure and it is absolutely the more technologically accomplished film but Happiness is a pure distillation of Miikes filmmaking philosophy of "gently caress it, I'ma do it"

Into the dark's "I'm loving with you" was alright. More of a comedy than horror. I did enjoy the Chester character though.

I feel like Stuart Gordon could've succeeded at any type of movie he wanted to make so it's a shame he never really broke out of the horror box. Like Raimi, I think his skills are very transferable to other genres. Actually Stuck seemed like a departure for him, but I haven't seen it. I should track that down at some point.

ruddiger posted:Stuart Gordon produced and directed the musical. Yeah. Gordon is first and foremost a theater nerd. I'm sure this stuff will never be recreated, but his college days sound wild. Gordon attended the University of Wisconsin and soon after formed Screw Theater. In March 1967 Gordon produced The Game Show at the UW Memorial Union. The play, intended to be an attack on apathy, locked the audience in the theater and seemingly humiliated, beat and raped them (audience plants were used.) Every performance ended with the audience rioting and stopping the show. He then formed Screw Theater in the summer of 1968 and produced and directed four shows, the final one, in the fall of 1968, a political version of Peter Pan that got him and his future wife arrested for obscenity. The story made national headlines until the charges were dropped in November 1968. As Gordon described it in a 2001 interview: "I had been protesting against the war in Viet Nam, and got tear-gassed by the Chicago police, and it suddenly struck me that you could take Peter Pan and turn it into a political cartoon about the whole situation. So, Peter Pan became the leader of the hippies and yippies, Captain Hook became Mayor Daley, and the pirates became the Chicago police. We left all of the James Barrie dialogue intact, so when they all went off to Neverland they sprinkled pixie dust on themselves and think lovely thoughts, and up they go. That was an acid trip, which was visualized by a psychedelic light show that was projected onto the bodies of seven naked young ladies..." Also, after Re-Animator: The Musical: quote:Gordon's next play Taste, premiered at Los Angeles' Sacred Fools Theater Company in April 2014. The play, based on the true story of Armin Meiwes, the Rotenburg Cannibal, was written by Benjamin Brand.

Stuck is probably the best but they’re all good. As far as the idea of him doing a musical, he did get his start in theater (Edmond is a David Mamet adaptation and I think he was adjacent to that whole crew back in the day) (edit: I see I was kinda beaten to this one)

Just finished sitting through All Through the House. It's a Christmas slasher flick that's either aiming for or is an homage to the early 80s era slashers. While not perfect, I think it comes fairly close. Story begins with the slasher arriving to the neighborhood, steals a Santa costume and mask, and promptly starts off on a murder and castration spree. Seriously, I think this one has the most castrations I've seen in a film. At the same time Rachel arrives at her grandmother's house in the neighborhood to visit and catch up with old friends, then get caught up in helping the weird next door neighbor Mrs. Garrett who's never been the same since her husband and child went missing. There's a definite undercurrent of sleeze when the old buried secrets start getting dug up, and considering everything that happens, the ending fits. Some of the acting's a bit flat but it's hard to say whether that's from the actors or the script needing a bit more polish. Overall, I thought it wasn't bad. I'll probably be adding it to my Christmas Horror viewing so it's not a couple Krampus films, evil Saint Nicholaus, Black Christmas, Gremlins, and a block of Silent Night, Deadly Nights.

It's just a symptom of how the average person in America still tends to think of "horror" and "80's slasher" as synonyms, and so anything that has a little more to it(like good cinematography, performances, etc) has to be considered some brand new category.
