On average, across the whole of horror... not nearly enough people yelling “Hail, Satan!”.

I just watched the directors cut of Doctor Sleep and it's surprisingly not rear end. It's not perfect, and it recycles way too much poo poo straight from The Shining, which gets cringey, but overall it's worth a watch and gets pretty good at times.

I really loved it up until the last half hour or so, when it starts relying on all the imagery from The Shining. Definitely some missteps there. Like you said though overall it’s good and worthwhile and has some standout moments. Rebecca Ferguson is great.

Tammy and the T-Rex is wonderful. Even when I knew what to expect, it just keeps surprising me. I'm legitimately impressed with Denise Richards's and Theo Forsett's acting. Even with the silly tone, the absurd plot, thin script and only an animatronic to work with, they still made me believe that Michael's brain was actually inside an animatronic dinosaur. Denise Richards's really sells Tammy's undying love. Great movie.

Lurdiak posted:Ehhhh. He wasn't as openly hateful as Lovecraft but there's a lot of racism against black people in his stories, even if they're from made up parts of the world, and there's even more weird racial essentialism, like everyone from a certain country is automatically good at this thing and likes this kind of thing, not because of culture, but because it's in their blood. It's really just high fantasy, but with black people instead of orcs and whatnot. It's interesting to read, but also very exhausting. I still haven't finished reading the The Complete Chronicles of Conan and likely never will.

Hollismason posted:Howard also wasn't racist and actually pretty progressive. Like for his period he had pretty progressive views. drat, for a moment I thought I'd clicked on the Australian Politics thread, and you were talking about John Howard, conservative anti-working class prime minister. Also wrote a good character reference for a certain Australian Roman Catholic Cardinal after he'd been found guilty on child sex offences...

Finally watched Midnight Meat Train. My girlfriend tried to get me to watch it for a while. I resisted because of the dumbass make but I actually kind of liked it. It was campy as hell and the twist ending was obvious from a mile away but it was neat.

But his work is race-essentialist down to the bones in a way that was exemplary of the pulp fiction of the time. Like, the background mythology of Hyboria has stuff like apes evolving into men, then devolving back into apes due to civilizational collapse, then re-evolving into humans again, on a timescale of like a few thousand years. (It was also weirdly materialist, though I don't think Howard ever read Marx. He proposed that a particular tribe of ape-men evolved into humans because they were lucky enough to inhabit a rocky area and found that a heap of stones is a defensible position, and civilization developed thus.)

Last night I watched Ms. 45 which is a heartwarming story of female empowerment during the disco era. Really loved this one. There's something really special about the 70s/80s NYC grungy horror vibe. It'd be fun to a marathon with this, and Basketcase, Blood Diner, CHUD... I especially love the scene with the lovelorn alcoholic, in which Ms. 45 is just pensively waiting for him to admit to anything worth killing him over. I might have to dress up as Ms. 45 in her little red riding hood getup for Halloween. Flowers which for its shoestring budget has an impressively dense, and forbidding atmosphere. The lightwork in the crawlspace scenes are especially cool. There's a gimmick where the lead actress changes from scene to scene, while seemingly remaining the same character. While watching I thought it was trying to say something about victims being stripped of their identity, but I think the end of the film suggests otherwise. I think it would have maybe played better as a 30 minute short film, or 10 minute music video for an Industrial/Doom Metal artist. Coolest shot in the movie was the overflowing syringe shot which was immediately preceded by the most hilarious shot a skeleton on a park bench shooting up Nekromantik they bludgeoned a bunny to death, so I turned it off unfortunately. I liked how surreal the film was before that. Like with the car wreck, they don't send an ambulance crew, they're straight in with domestic black bin bags, and no gloves, just scooping up intestines. But then they pull punches in odd ways, like having an extreme close up of a guy pissing but not actually showing his cock. We're already in this situation, you may as well whip it out properly. Nekromantik 2 starts with a flashback(?) to the first movie, which involves seppuku masturbation and I was kicking myself because that's exactly the kind of insanity I was hoping for from the first film. The rest of the film is kind of like Better Nate than Lever, it's a lot better in retrospect once you know how it ends. More than half of the runtime is devoted to going to the faire, going to a petting zoo, watching a film about ducks and eating eggs at the cinema, but that last ten minutes is just the perfect punchline that ties everything together. Also I think Richard Curtis stole the sex foleywork scene for Love Actually, which I'm sure isn't true but it's my headcanon now. Hour of the Wolf which I watched the night before technically. I think it was recommended in this thread during werewolf chat, but honestly it could be about vampires, ghosts, or any number of other things, I don't think that matters beyond interesting headcanon stuff. The film itself reminds me of Possession (1981) and Naked (1993), in that it does a lot of intense psychologically and emotionally impactful things with just dialogue, while maintaining the characters as somewhere between unsympathetic but also relatable. My favourite scene is the very short child/fishing scene. I've never seen a film generate so much anxiety, awkwardness, and then absolute insanity, with just simple body language. It was asif the filmmakers were tapping directly into some primordial fight or flight response, like showing a cucumber to a cat and watching it flee in terror.
