Do I have to post a list, or am I good as long as I watch classics? I’m bad at planning. I’m planning to watch The Birds tonight, since I watched The Exorcist during the October challenge.

Here’s a list of movies I haven’t seen that have been recommended by the horror thread, at some point. But I’m hoping to supplement those with your recommendations, of course.

I don't think there was a bait-and-switch, unfortunately, but here's the trailer and it's pretty great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZjaVdJt59U It's basically just Hitch telling everyone why we deserve a good bird attack. Edit: I'm going to save my writeup for tomorrow, to not spoil anything for anyone watching it tonight. graventy fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jan 2, 2019 |

I really liked The Birds! I thought it did a great job of establishing the film as a pretty weird offbeat romantic comedy thing. Oh, to be an idle rich person, with enough time and resources to just take a weekend and follow someone home to pursue. Their banter was all weird, flirtatious lies, and then we find out he's gay but very slowly populating a town with unrequited lovers. At the same time there is a constant growing menace of birds in true horror movie style. I didn't find the movie particularly scary, but the attic scene was intense and I sure as hell don't want that rear end in a top hat throwing birds at me all day. As the heroine, I didn't expect Melanie to be broken so completely. The playground scene is wonderful, with just one crow turning into a full murder at the next glance, and the ending is just completely creepy and menacing. Honestly a large group of anything sitting quietly and staring at you is unnerving. Now someone watch The Bird's 2: Lands End and tell us how awful it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C0AdYOLpUA

I haven't seen Audition in probably almost 20 years so I think I'm due for a rewatch.

There's just no way I'm going to be able to keep up this month, but for my second film I picked the longtime thread title Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key. It's the least giallo giallo I have seen, in that it had a discernible plot that you could follow! Failed writer and remarkably successful lover Oliviero lives with his wife Irina in a large old mansion. Oliviero's lovers begin to be killed, and as the prime suspect he begins to lose his mind. It's a tawdry film, and on an arbitrary made up scale I'm giving it a 4 for nudity, and a 2 for violence. Too much domestic violence, not enough slasher violence. It also has the least lesbian lesbian sex scene I think I have ever seen, with two women who seem very obviously zeroes on the Kinsey scale (solidly straight) vaguely laying on top of each other for a while. Plus incest! Fun for the whole family. I enjoyed it! I like horror movies that you can follow, and I like Poe's stories, which this heavily references/homages/rips off.
