Jedit posted:Never seen Audition and don't want to. I feel legit bad for you and have to ask “why”. This movie is legitimately great as both horror and as a movie in general IMO. The only other things from the director I’ve seen are 13 Assassins, which I liked (but not nearly as much) and I started watching Ichi the Killer and stopped about a third of the way through because it just seemed not my thing at all. A good part of Audition is a straight up drama about a lonely middle aged widower trying to find love, and it’s really well done IMO. And then.... it really brings the heat.

Also, if Kvlt! were to receive a serial killer transplant while in hospital it should be a leg or foot where the only effect would be his uncontrollable urge to kick any passer by in the rear end.

I feel like streaming, even though it's made so many movies available to us, has so many downsides. It encourages watching movies interrupted in bits and pieces which for many ruins the flow and intensity and impairs whatever the director was shooting for. It encourages not paying close attention since you can rewind. It encourages just having a movie on in the background which is fine if it's crap but bad if it's a really good movie you should pay attention to. Now some movies are perfect to just have in the background when you've seen them before. Like I find having a stream of Silence of the Lambs running is perfect for falling asleep to, just listening to that dialogue, those conversations. I don't know what the solution to this is.

I'm not into The Stand like a lot of people, but my favorite thing about it is the short story Night Surf (in Night Shift anthology) which is just a snapshot of the world of The Stand, some teenagers hanging around the beach after the end of the world. I like the snapshot, and imagining the rest, better than that world being realized in a long book.

Speaking of Captain Howdy I just rewatched the Exorcist again last night (it's on Netflix currently) and realized that I should come up with some kind of time or occasion to watch it at least once a year. For a 45 year old film, it's still so heavy and intense, likely to be shocking to someone watching for the first time and not fully familiar with all the stuff that happens. I really admire more and more how gradually the situation builds, with the early stuff depicting family and household bliss with just a few odd occurrences/notes popping up. I also appreciated how the doctors in the film come off as their own church complete with priests and shamans whose religion and rites were insufficient to effect an exorcism.

STAC Goat posted:The MRI (or whatever it is) scene was always the part of the film that freaked me out the most, and usually the part that surprises and shocks new viewers I've watched with. Like I'm almost relieved when it gets out of the hospital and the priests take over. It's on HULU also. The film was made in the era before CT and MRI scans. The only tools available for brain imaging were things like plain x-rays and angiography, injecting contrast into the arteries leading into the brain to view X-rays of the blood vessels, as tumors will often have their own network of extra blood vessels that can appear on such studies. The X-ray machine that's circling around her making the series of loud noises was probably to take a rapid series of such images, making a cine or movie of the blood flowing through the vessels. I like that it appears to be trying to exorcise her demon in its own high tech way. Zwabu fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Feb 7, 2019 |

After watching Horror Noire, I finally watched Blacula which is on Prime right now. Pretty legit! Basically a pretty straight take on a vampire story and not the camp fest you'd expect from the title. The guy who plays Blacula is smooth af.

Almost Blue posted:Speaking of, is Abby available anywhere in good quality? I remember it popping up on Shudder forever ago but it was a VHS rip. Probably the best I've ever seen it looking is in the excerpts in Horror Noire. Yeah, now I'm looking for Abby and Sugar Hill (Sugar Hill can be rented from Amazon I believe). Ganja and Hess is on Shudder, and Eve's Bayou is on Starz. I think everyone here has seen Tales from the Hood, but I never got around to watching Bones, which is also on Shudder right now. So Horror Noire gave me some titles I'm interested in seeing now. I think Def By Temptation is on tubi also, never got around to watching that but I'm intrigued based on the clips in Horror Noire.

You all really need to watch Dark Night of the Scarecrow if you haven’t. It’s good. It’s been on YouTube in middling quality and is sometimes on streaming services.

So having only seen the first Happy Death Day movie, is the baby mask supposed to represent the mascot of the university, like the Bulldogs or Badgers? Or is that some other weird wrinkle that’s explained in the second movie as well?

I just watched The Boy on Netflix, and it was pretty decent. Unfortunately I think the ultimate plot twist/reveal was about the most obvious of the various possibilities, and, IMO, the least interesting, although they did a good job with it. I would have much preferred that the story had real supernatural elements. Either the events being purely supernatural and ghost related, or a mixture where there was some gaslighting going on but also a Scooby-doo "gotcha there was a real g-g-g-ghost too!" element.

Hollismason posted:Haute Tension is problematic and is basically a throwback to the deadly lesbian trope. Like from a film standpoint I would say that overrides the fact that its part of the French New Wave Horror. A lot of horror films that are otherwise good are problematic in this way, including Silence of the Lambs, Dressed to Kill, etc.

The association of being gay or cross dressing with being a twisted homicidal maniac is something that's been part of a lot of horror films from Psycho to Sleepaway Camp. It's definitely an issue that the film industry has not fully come to terms with in my opinion.

Netflix has a Thai horror movie called Shutter, about a young couple who are in a hit and run late one night, and subsequently the man, who’s a photographer, starts having mysterious phantom images appear in his photos when developed. Not bad.

s.i.r.e. posted:It's probably some dumb kids birthday and totally boring. I'm hoping it is porn. Alternatively? A series of serial killer victims named Carol, which was also the name of the killer's abusive mom, or the high school girl who rejected him. It's totally lame rear end Christmas carols though.

The whole reason I ever bothered to watch Excorcist III is because it was talked up so much by a bunch of goons in these here threads. Horror Thread has let me down a few times but I've seen a LOT more really good films because of the recommendations of you goons.

The usual video output from an old VCR is RCA (single yellow plug for video, red and white plug for stereo audio), with MAYBE an "S-video" output for higher end machine (big round plug with a matrix of pins inside). Since the usual TV these days will only have an HDMI input the question is are there adapters that convert RCA or S-video into a usable HDMI signal? edit, beaten as if I'd summoned the Cenobites

I work in the surgical part of medicine. The huge majority of Caesarean section deliveries are done with spinal anesthesia where the mother is awake but the lower body is numb (there is a sense of pressure and movement and "something going on" but not sharp pain etc.) It's an everyday thing so I don't think on it too much but occasionally the horrifying aspects of this have occurred to me. On the one hand you have this: Meanwhile, just behind a thin paper drape, her womb has been pulled out of her body and laid on her tummy to be surgically repaired:
