Stryder posted:If you want to have a Schumacher tribute but you're over Lost Boys and Flatliners, definitely check out Blood Creek. It kinda flew under the radar in 2009, but it's good stuff. Blood Creek was fun and had some wild hubris.

Best Barker is the Damnation Game and with all the fuckery the Hellraiser movies have undergone it will remain as my horror hail mary.

HeavingGirth posted:Damnation Game is such a good book. It's a shame the majority of Barker adaptations end up not so great. Rawhead & Skins of the Fathers are both great stories. The Damnation Game is just so sparse and mean that it rips.

Debbie Does Dagon posted:All The Void really needed was a small rewrite. I think I agree. I felt like they tried to include a little too much extraneous stuff that didn't alley oop the core themes. You've committed to a stripped down cosmic horror/practical fx vision so just run hard with that. Maybe not quite Baskin hard, but you know, a balance.

dorium posted:Luz was an interesting movie. It was shot exceptionally well. Outright beautiful and captivating in the cinematography in some parts and the play with a hypnotist and a possession was interesting. Whether or not I fully understood the story is another thing but otherwise it was pretty great for a tight 70 minute flick. I’d probably use it in a triple feature down the way. I agree with you to most of that. Maybe it was the conceit of the film, but goddamn did I want more context. I bought it a year ago and have rewatched it twice. The atmosphere is gorgeous.

Making gun violence have the proper weight behind it is a quality I appreciate in a movie. The Lodge did well with that scene. Can anyone else think of other examples?

I would agree. Saulnier has a talent for it. I think it can be fascinating and really hit when done right.

veni veni veni posted:Possessor. Hell yea. I've had this one ready to go, too. Not gun related, well the movie is, but not this particular scene. In the vein of realistically approaching things other movies take for granted in Blue Ruin when Dwight slashes the tire on the limo and his hand slides up the blade. Goddamn was that visceral for me.

gey muckle mowser posted:It's extremely Cronenberg-y so if you like his father's work you should definitely check it out. Well said. The Cronenberg vibe isn't totally my thing, but I certainly appreciated the movie. It seemed like it did a good job world-building that fed in nicely to the overall hit.

I wish I was in the room when they were pitching Terror Train. "OK, it's horror on a train and Jamie Lee is in." "Sounds good." "We also have, wait for it, David Copperfield. He's gonna be doing a lot of magic." "Uh...ok?" "...and it has something to do with New Years and a fraternity sorority thing going on!" "Wait....what?" "We have a great idea for an opening scene, too." "?" AKZ fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Dec 15, 2020 |

The Collector and The Collection are fun as hell. The Collection goes off the rails in the first 15 plus it has Bubbles from The Wire. "I told you we should have cut his heels."

To me Hannibal came across as so contrived and drunk on it's own casting that I just found myself not caring about it at all despite the amazing set pieces. *Will stares at camera empathically*

To be fair to the Hannibal TV show I am not a TV series viewer at all. I think I was burned out on Mads as well and it just failed to set the hook for me.

Untrustable posted:This is from a few pages back but hard agree. It was probably in the top 3 for violent movies I watched last year. It's gore surpasses most slashers with it's realism and it's squishyness. Hell yes, that stabbing in a few scenes is particularly visceral. White Boy Bobby loving rocks, too.

Tbf to Hellraiser 4+ sequels Clive (maybe?) phoned it in just as much with the Scarlet Gospels. To avoid being negative Lord of Illusions is a fun one to throw on.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:you'd basically have to go all-in on portraying convicts and addicts in a sympathetic light. in a post-American Gods world I don't completely discount the possibility but unfortunately attitudes there still kind of suck I haven't seen American Gods, so don't have a lot of context for that particular point. Idk though, the flawed hero is a pretty accessible concept and Carys was as much a prisoner of Whitehead as she was an addict. I haven't revisited the Damnation Game for a year or two so I might be omitting some nuance. I just really appreciate the proto-cenobite style characters and Breer is a nightmare that could be really interesting with his assumed razor-eater mythology.
