Where'd you see Blue Sunshine, by the way? I've never been able to track that one down.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:i did this a year or so ago. for the most part it was a blast, but i strongly caution you against watching the final season. The only good thing about the final season is enjoying what are essentially cameos from people who became famous a decade later. At least Twilight Zone on video/hour long had some genuinely great episodes. Tales from the Crypt in England was a whole lot of nothing.

paradoxGentleman posted:I finally picked this up again and watched The Others. Holy poo poo was it good. Are haunted house stories normally this good? I absolutely did not predict the twist until the end. Nope, but now you get to watch The Innocents.

I'm trying to think of other political Italian horror films, other than Africa Addio type stuff.

BioTech posted:Like most of the stuff I'm watching this month it was recommended somewhere here and I can see why, but it doesn't do it for me. I didn't care much for The Babadook either, so it is probably me. I'd love to talk about it in the October thread, maybe you can shed some light on what I'm missing? I'm just going from memory here but specifically about the two things you mentioned: the sex tape. This is the hinge on which the entire film turns, because we get the reactions from the dad and the brother that they really didn't know who Alice was, and finally an insight into the mom. The film's not just about what happened to Alice, but these strange reactions that her surviving family has had to her death. Alice's mom is probably the most interesting character of all, emotionally attuned, yet distant and enigmatic. She's also the character most like Alice. With the psychic, she directly identifies with her daughter. She sees herself in the past, just as Alice catches a (terrifying) glimpse of herself in the future. There's that emotional linkage but no real connection, almost like her mother overvalued her independence to the point they had no conscious, outward relationship. So on the one hand, you have this almost clinical empathy from the mother, like understanding without love, and the dad is the total opposite. He does not understand her at all but loves her anyhow. I find that interplay very moving because there are no film-like outbursts, just these kind of quiet re-enactments of trauma and resentment. What is a ghost, after all, but unresolved emotional tension? cthulusnewzulubbq posted:I'm probably being too harsh, but I'll have to trust my gut until the eventual re-watch. Maybe the Creature as an Atomic Age Frankenstein's Monster will grow on me but it seemed to just kill the vitality of the thing. Nah, it's honestly not that great. None of the Creature movies are, really, outside of the novel location and great effects. They're kind of like The Mummy in that way. I just find the scenario of Walks Among Us quite evocative and melancholy for some reason.

Creepshow 3 is a fake movie.

It makes me feel the way many people feel about remakes.

The final one is The Hitchhiker right? That one is shockingly gruesome.

Watch Body Bags, in which John Carpenter introduces the vignettes as a hippy morgue attendant.

Without the psychic, you don't have as oblique a reference to Twin Peaks.

I'm still unsure to this day of how I feel about 2 or 0.

Watrick posted:I wonder in 20-30 years if people will hold these recent-ish horror movies will be considered cult classics. There were tons of direct to video horror flicks that I enjoy, but a lot of stuff today just seems bad. Not even fun bad, just terrible. What, like in the 80's?
