Kvlt! posted:elaborate Simplifying a bit but The first short is about lovely rapey guys who end up getting murdered by a powerful she-monster The second short is about a guy who's really lovely and not trusting toward his wife and then she has him murdered and escapes The camping one there's something there but I can't place it The next one is a lovely guy manipulating women and stealing their alien babies And then the last one the guys assume the woman can't be a demon and save her but then she is The whole overarching narratives recovers around men being lovely manipulative sex crazed idiots and women being powerful and luring them into their deaths (aside from one)

The empty dance room scene is worth the price I paid to watch it (free) The final scene would have been so good if not for the lovely low frame rate to hide the bad VFX

The Perfection is an interesting beast, and I'm still not sure what I think of it. I've been sitting on it for like 2 days. On the one hand, it's a fun ride and really tense - but, I don't think it would hold up to multiple viewings after the gimmicks and twists are known. It's a shame because it was such a cool premise and I DID enjoy it... Hm. What other movies are like that? Where you liked it but were still disappointed?

Yeah, Midsommar and The LLighthouse are the two movies I'm most hype about this year. edit-- I just saw a reviewer use the term "A24rror" to describe their specific house style and now I love it Count Thrashula fucked around with this message at 15:47 on May 29, 2019 |

I started listening to The Evolution of Horror podcast this morning, and I'm surprisingly impressed by how detailed and respectful of the genre it is. I was expecting your generic "here are the top 10 horror movies and why they're important" rehashing that we've seen a thousand times (*cough Eli Roth's history of horror on Shudder cough*) but they get pretty in depth with some relatively obscure stuff and the interview with Kim Newman is really great. They actually made a pretty interesting point that the reason Carpenter's Halloween is so good is because we relate to and love Laurie so much, whereas Michael is just a non-person entity - more a plot point than anything else. And the reason Rob Zombie's Halloween fails so hard is because he loves Michael so much and doesn't give a poo poo about Laurie. I think that's a very good reading of the situation. Anyway, I've only listened to the first episode, but I'm impressed and can recommend it.

Basebf555 posted:That's certainly a legitimate opinion to have but I admit it annoys me when it's presented as this accepted fact that nobody could ever disagree with. As if it would be impossible for someone to enjoy Zombie's take on Michael just as much as Carpenter's. Oh I didn't mean to present it as indisputable fact, and I don't think the podcast does either. I just think it's an interesting opinion I hadn't heard before, and one that resonates with me.

LesterGroans posted:Who the hell was giving you mixed reviews of The Terror? Easily one of my favourite shows of all-time. Weirdly, that's why I didn't dig too much into it also. But now revisiting it, everyone's giving it glowing reviews so I'm finally gonna watch it through. The first two episodes so far have been great. edit-- Wait what the gently caress The Terror is an anthology series and season 2 takes place in a WW2 Japanese Internment camp?? gently caress that trailer looks great.

Basebf555 posted:I have to mostly(although I disagree with Kvit! on Re-Animator) disagree with you here because for me, the balance is everything. Go too far into comedy, and it's just a comedy. Maybe an excellent comedy(What We Do in the Shadows, Tucker and Dale), but still not horror. Maybe a better term for those would be horror-themed comedy. Why would you consider Tucker and Dale to not be horror  It's beat-for-beat storyboarded out like a generic slasher, it just had a lot of tongue in cheek joking with it.edit-- Okay, well, I see what you're saying about horror-themed comedy now that I think about it. I don't agree, but I see your point.

Slasher is a pretty fun show. I'm mostly done with season one, but it's not a bad way to kill a day.

I have a hot take and that is that Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a better meta-horror than Scream

Just finished watching Whistle and I'll Come to You, as recommended by the Evolution of Horror podcast (I'm listening through the arc on ghost stories right now). Really interesting short film that I'd never heard of before, and I'd recommend everyone check it out. It's a slow burn, but the payoff is delightful and, tonally, different than anything I've ever seen. The ending really stuck with me. No jump scares, no creepy ghost makeup, just scenes dripping with tension with a wonderful sound design and Michael Hordern's amazing performance. I don't want to say too much about it, but it's only 40 minutes, so watch it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYjtxHHjZ00

amenbrotep posted:Watch A Warning to the Curious asap if you’ve not seen it already, tbh that entire run of BBC productions is worth seeing. The second half of this episode I'm listening to goes into The Stone Tapes! That's next on my list, and A Warning to the Curious popped up on Youtube also so I'll check that out.

amenbrotep posted:This is also a great watch list to whomever was asking about follow ups in re MR James btw Haha that was me. I started watching The Stone Tape but after half an hour I just couldn't do it. I think it's a mix of the acting, production, and script, just... didn't grab me. Maybe I'll give it another try sometime, but I'm way more into folk horror than ghosty horror. At least Whistle and I'll Come to You had that "nature in Britain" feel with the seaside that was kind of folk-adjacent.

Basebf555 posted:The Stone Tape is definitely more of a slow build to a very very interesting finale but I can see how it's not for everybody. I watched and enjoyed The Quatermass Xperiment during my Hammer binge, so I'm sure I'll check out the sequel eventually. edit-- also I typed "Quartermass" for like 6 months before I caught the typo.

I just finished watching The Terror last night and, aside from wishing it were twice the length because I loved every moment, I really want more atmospheric period horror.

How has pagan horror been beaten to death? There have been like 4 films in 3 years, it's nothing compared to the slasher saturation of the 80s

Yeah Henry is one of my favorite horror movies but it's deffo not "extreme" in the same way a splatter slasher would be. But the way it portrays Henry's story is so frank and disturbing that it makes me feel gross.
