Got a couple types of movies on the brain that I'd like to see more of. 1. Movies with a big "what the gently caress" moment, but I specifically mean where something really weird happens and then the movie pauses and takes a moment to highlight a character saying "what the gently caress?" in the most shocked or confused voice possible. Bonus points if it's the last line of the movie like The Guest or Swiss Army Man. 2. "Kitchen-sink" type horror movies where they include a whole bunch of different possible explanations for a mystery to try and keep you/the characters guessing or just to parody/shout out the genre, like Resolution, Housebound, and Malignant.

There's a certain highly-regarded movie from a few years back where this fact is generally considered a twist/tightly-guarded spoiler, so reveal at your own risk: One Cut of the Dead is exactly this.

Gripweed posted:Speaking of which, I'd like to request recommendations for more stull like Southland Tales and Reconguista in G. Big sci-fi stories made with a very clear creative vision, full of detail, completely unafraid of confusing people, with a message or vibe the creator is desperately trying to get across to the audience. If it's widely hated or dismissed as being confusing or pretentious, that would be ideal. Interstellar lol

it seems there is a storied tradition of having a movie say "yo gently caress robots" and then a sequel is like #notallrobots, like The Matrix, Alien, and The Terminator. Any other good/well-known ones?

Putting together my options for the October challenge, what are the must-watches on Shudder that I might not have seen yet? Funny, weird, tense, ~elevated~, if it's good I'll probably like it. Obvious answers I've already seen: Saloum, Triangle, The House of the Devil, Housebound, Night of the Demons, The Endless Stuff I'm looking at: Flux Gourmet Mad God Night of the Living Dead Perfect Blue Psycho Goreman Glorious Moloch Broadcast Signal Intrusion A Lonely Place to Die Carrie The Suspicious Death of a Minor (and/or other giallos) Mad God Tetsu the Iron Man The Babadook I Am a Ghost Prom Night House A Field in England Basket Case The Hills Have Eyes

Extremely good recommendations, seen all but Slumber Party Massacre 2 and The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (still feeling out giallo, only proper one I've seen is What Have You Done to Solange?, excluding Suspiria) but they're going on the list!

Doesn't have to be an action movie, but I'm looking for something vibrant and entertaining rather than super serious. Ong-Bak has some sad parts but is mostly this Gripweed posted:Is My Neighbor Totoro anti-colonialist? thread title please
