Franchescanado posted:Nathan Ballingrud's short story collection North American Lake Monsters is pretty neat. It's not overtly scary, but every story involves horrific monsters without being pulpy. I really enjoyed North American Lake Monsters and would recommend The Imago Sequence by Laird Barron as another good short story collection full of existential dread.

I just got one recently but I won’t be able to test it till this weekend if you are interested.

s.i.r.e. posted:I agree 100%; I thought that would be let loose and things would turn to a survival film but nope. I thought the editing, music, and sound effects in that movie was terrible. It felt like someone’s first webpage design with flashy banners and obnoxious music. I couldn’t tell what tone they were going for and the plot was a mess. At times it felt like they were on the verge of greatness but just couldn’t execute. Interestingly, I tried giving the movie 1/5 stars but looks like Shudder deleted my review or are hiding low ratings for their exclusive films.

I really like Shudder but they just tried to double bill me and customer support says they have no evidence that they did. Highly recommend checking that you aren’t get billed twice by them.

veni veni veni posted:Am I the only one who thought the Suspiria remake was kind of bad? So many people, ones I generally consider having good taste have said it's great and I just don't get it. Thought it was extremely corny and pretentious. None the plots worked for me and that type of crazy ending didn’t feel earned. The final dance scene was poorly edited and distracted with a non dancing character, so you really couldn’t tell if it was any good. (Climax knows how to make a killer dance sequence) I did laugh at Dakota’s makeup for that scene made her look like an angry bird. I doubt anyone would still be talking about it if it didn’t have the Suspiria name.

ozebane posted:Everyone in this thread needs to go watch The Perfection on netflix. I make no promises for quality, but it is utterly ridiculous. A real 'go in blind or not at all' kinda film. The Perfection totally works for me. The director said in Q&A that part of the movie was inspired by a real life terror of being basically trapped on a bus in Mexico with diarrhea.

I thought Brightburn was fun. Great kills, creepy kid and R rating helps a lot. I guess I was in the mood for something simple and have a few laughs. I had a full theater so people’s reaction to the gore was fun too. When the mom is looking his drawings at the end, there’s a toy, stuffed frog that looks like it’s been dissected. Is that a real thing or did the boy make it? Neat little touch.

Origami Dali posted:Has there never been a horror movie featuring someone working the late shift at a gas station? Seems like a good setup for some When A Stranger Calls type scares. Open 24 Hours is exactly that. Was in festivals last year but hasn’t made it to streaming yet. Hopefully it will get some distribution, I thought it was pretty good.

Adlai Stevenson posted:When I was a kid I was in the back seat of the family car when we got into an accident. Nothing major, just shaken up in the end. I still spent a few hours in the hospital to get checked up and to make sure my brain wasn't melting. While the family was trying to rally up and all get together I was taken to my grandparents' house to rest for the remainder of the day. My grandmother was insistent on following the doctor's orders to make sure I had plenty of fluids, a cool room to rest in, no TV, and absolutely no fatty foods. As soon as she rattled off these requirements my grandfather burst through the front door with a Bigfoot pizza from Pizza Hut. Exactly, except the pizza needs to eat Grandma.

Wow, I loved Knife+Heart. Amazing lighting and costumes. Really doesn’t have any flaws, but it’s very much a giallo movie so that might turn people off. Great performance by Vanessa Paradis too. Don’t sleep on this one. 5 of 5 golden mouths.

Kvlt! posted:gently caress yeah it is i was really impressed with it. The only "neo-giallo" ive seen that actually nailed both the neo and the giallo. Have you seen Piercing? I really liked it, and while it nailed the music; I don’t think it fits as a “new-giallo” as much as the marketing hyped it up to be.

Definitely stirring the pot, but more often than not I just don’t enjoy ghost/haunting movies. The Devil’s Backbone is good but a lot of that comes from the setting and living characters and less from the ghost. The Changeling is exactly the kind of ghost movie I don’t like. I just get so bored with ghosts doing mundane things, turning on lights, making noises etc. Give me a more supernatural horror or something deadly where there’s higher stakes for the characters.

Any fans here of Joe Begos? He has two movies so far, The Mind’s Eye and Almost Human, both are sci-fi horror with lots of blood. What I enjoyed most was the pacing, a steady escalation of violence and body count. Both movies have generic plots and his writing is really awkward. But I can overlook this for an exciting movie. Mind’s Eye is streaming for free on Tubi and worth checking out. Begos has two new movies coming out in the next year and he has a lot of potential as a horror director.

flashy_mcflash posted:He's a great guy and I want him to succeed but if I'm being honest I don't like his execution. He's got a ton of ideas but in my opinion has never been able to bring them off properly. That said I'm fully aware I mighty be in the minority on those two films because practically everyone I know loves them. I just think Panos just blew straight past him in the current retro cosmic horror trend. Oh yeah Panos is on while other level. I feel like Begos is doing less of the cosmic horror and more of a exciting/weird experience.
