Ah right, yeah that'll do it. I think everyone posting above is just using it from an eligible country to geolocate to another eligible country. That's certainly what I'm doing. Sorry for getting your hopes up

Basebf555 posted:The main point of contention with Zombie's Michael is that he spends the whole first act showing Michael as a kid and the events leading up to the first murders. Some people like it, some people hate it. Just considering the first film, I can understand why some people don't like it even though I think it's a great choice. It's not really clear why this whole extended first act exists when the rest of the film is just a more violent remake of 1978. The second film justifies it completely imo. The thematic destination was always an unflinchingly brutal look at acts of violence spreading trauma like a disease and the different ways people react to it. Michael's violent upbringing blooms outward into this nightmare that kills a fairly small number of people but completely changes the lives of everyone it touches, in mostly horrible ways. I don't think the gut punch scene of Brad Dourif's sheriff discovering his daughter's body works nearly as well without that connection back to what made Michael a killer. I think that's why the Zombieweens are such good "remakes" because they're using the same basic story to explore very different themes than the original which for me is much more about the facade of security in suburban life.

Hollismason posted:The House that Jacked Built is kind of a bummer of a horror recommendation. Its such a dark comedy. It's a good film but I found it too depressing and dark to really enjoy. Its got its moments though and its got a pitch black sense of humor to it. This is absolutely true and a reasonable warning. The film aligns well with my tastes but if you're not into stuff like Henry, Man Bites Dog and Angst then it might not be for you. E: King Vidiot posted:The House That Jack Built is a good movie, but I don't know that I'd ever watch it again. I guess you could say the same about literally any given Lars Von Trier movie. You watch it, you "get" it, and then you're left with an experience you're not going to forget any time soon. And then you never want to sit through it again. I've watched it three times, send help

One of the things that really differentiates Fear Street from your average slasher trilogy is that it was created as a trilogy with a coherent and, imo, compelling mystery linking the three films together. Most slasher trilogies operate on the basis of the first one doing better than expected and oh poo poo we'd better work out how to continue the story. That alone makes them films of note in the slasher genre. It's obviously a privilege for a director to get the money to be able to do this, but I think Leigh Janiak made good on the opportunity.

flashy_mcflash posted:Titane is a real one. I don't think I could unpack the story properly if I wanted to, and I don't, but goddamn Julia Ducourneau knows how to shoot body horror in a way that you loving feel every second of it. When you walk out of a movie thinking that it made Cronenberg's Crash look like an exercise in half-steppin', you know you've seen something special. This makes me very happy. I hope I get to see it at a cinema, but the UK release is in December so I'm not optimistic

MacheteZombie posted:Lmao malignant is how I felt too. What an unexpected treat gey muckle mowser posted:In the opening you see that some kind of surgery is being done and pieces of something are being cut away, but at that point you don’t have enough context to know what’s happening, and if they commented on not being able to remove everything then it didn’t register to me Yeah this was my experience too. It's like when you see a trailer after a movie and it feels like it spoils everything but at that point you have the context to make those 0.5s flashes seem like spoilers CODChimera posted:I feel like a big part of what made Malignant so good is going to be gone by all the hype even if you avoid the spoilers I was super hyped thanks to the last five pages and I still thought it ruled. Interesting to see Wan building on and incorporating some ideas from Whannel's films. (Spoilers for Malignant and Upgrade) A parasitic intelligence trapping its host in a false reality while it kills is straight out of Upgrade, and the way the action sequences were shot was very reminiscent. There were a couple of moments that really reminded me of Invisible Man too, like the indented sofa cushion and just the general vibe of being framed for the actions of someone that nobody believes exists. That on top of the Argento lighting and zooms on Maddie's shocked face, the Se7en style credits and foot-chase, the Basket Case premise made it a very referential experience but no less enjoyable for it. The greatest sin a film full of references can commit is to make you wish you were watching the film it's referencing instead, and I never felt that for a moment. More like this please, James.

As Mark Kermode is fond of saying when he's making GBS threads on a film for being overlong and self-indulgent, Kubrick took us from the birth of humanity to the birth of a new galaxy in less than 2 and a half hours.

Re: the old gear in The Descent, I felt like it raised the possibility that the creatures could have been people who got stuck down there years ago and underwent a sort of wendigo-esque transformation after resorting to cannibalism to survive. Or, alternatively, it's just an utterly bleak moment of "you're doomed" because yes another party of cavers had been down there before and if they'd got out then the cave would have been a known system with a name.

It 2 also captures that exact feeling you get with a game you're not really into where you're doing some boring quest and you think "they're going to make me do this 3 times aren't they". Except with It 2 it was 4 times. I hated that film

Kvlt! posted:I didnt really like titane. the entire movie you wanna see the cool car-human hybrid and its just a normal baby with a metal spine. I didnt understand the murders at the beggining, or how they connected to the plot. It felt like they made a movie and thought "It's not long enough, add some murders at the beggining" The murders create the sense of looming disaster necessary for the second half of the film. It's not just that if she's discovered she'll be kicked out (or so she believes), she'll also be busted for her crimes. Mechanically, it also adds the plot element of her mugshot being on posters for Vincent's crew mate to see. As to why she murders, maybe I just listen to too much Last Podcast on the Left but a significant proportion of serial killers have the magic combo of unstable home life + childhood head trauma.
