Watched the Girl With All the Gifts and the movie makes it even more obvious than the book that Melanie is incapable of understanding other people's emotions. She's confused when Parks isn't happy that she infected the whole world with the fungus and keeps Justineau as a pet even though that makes her miserable.

King Vidiot posted:I thought the point wasn't that she "didn't understand", it's that she no longer recognized herself as "human". She viewed the infected kids as the future of the planet, as opposed to the humans who were living on borrowed time. She obviously wanted Parks and Justineau to keep living, but she didn't seem to understand that for them it would be hell to live in a world where everyone else is infected

Tuxedo Catfish posted:See, that's exactly why I don't like it. It treats female sexuality as a terrifying curse that the innocent younger sister has to kill her older sister to exorcise. It's the exact same thing Bram Stoker does with Lucy and Mina in Dracula, except now people think it's feminist for some reason.

Shrecknet posted:Ginger Snaps owns because I think its the only werewolf movie to finally explicitly tie lycanthropy to both puberty and menstruation. The Company of Wolves is a movie that makes analogies between puberty and werewolves but it doesn't say that becoming a wolf is bad like Ginger Snaps does.

But I do think it's scarier when you don't know that, because you're kinda in Rosemary's shoes as she has to deal with that confusion and realization that her husband just isn't listening and isn't going to help her. As if it were a Body Snatchers movie and he'd been replaced by a pod person.

M_Sinistrari posted:I think if someone went in watching The Omen expecting something along the lines of The Exorcist since it dominated/influenced so much, then I can see someone being disappointed. Omen's a more low key approach in line with Rosemary's Baby than where the trend of 'Satan's Involved' movies were at that point in time. When I watched it I was pretty surprised over the fact that the Exorcist is actually pretty low-key too. A majority of the movie is spend watching father Karras struggling with his lack of faith. But it's difference between being low-key and boring.

CelticPredator posted:I hate Uwe Boll because he’s arrogant in a way that completely makes all his films worthless imo. Uwe Boll's career is basically the Producers in that his investors can write off the money they give him and only pay taxes of the profit that the movie makes. So the worse the movie is the more money they make.
