radiatorhums Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Watched 1BR Friday night and enjoyed it. I'd gone in fairly blind and it goes in a direction that I didn't expect, which was a pleasant surprise. Also watched Bit, Party Hard Die Young and Witches in the Woods. All varying degrees of ok. They all kept me entertained, but I don't think I could be convinced to give any of them a second watch either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Watched The Lodge last night and liked it quite a bit. Some interesting parallels between it and Hereditary. The doll house and the way it was shot jumped out at me, but there are a few spoilery similarities too. The two would pair well for a double feature.

radiatorhums Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Last night I watched Blood Quantum (it's on Shudder) and it's pretty great. A gritty, violent zombie flick that doesn't try to reinvent the genre or be clever / wink at the audience. It reminded me of the Romero films in a good way.

Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I've been on an extreme horror kick the past uhhh long time since posting and have watched countless trashbags but would definitely recommend Salo and Martyrs. Also the first 3 Guinea Pig films are very fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I watched The Wretched over the weekend and it was far better than the generic name and cover art suggests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 The Lodge and Gretel & Hansel out on blu-ray/DVD today. Probably gonna get The Lodge for sure cause I really enjoyed it. Not sure about G&H though. I’ve wanted to see it but I’ve heard mixed things. Anyone here seen it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More style than substance, but I like his style and it kept me interested. Probably take this with a grain of salt, since I very rarely rewatch movies, but I'd say it's a better rental or something to catch when it hits a streamer.

radiatorhums Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I watched Z last night and wish I'd spent the 80 minutes doing something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) In Search of Darkness - Popcorn documentary. Not a lot of substance, but I found it enjoyable. Kind of an I Love the 80s - Horror Edition. It's a bit over 4 hours and I broke it up over a couple of days. If you've watched enough horror and horror adjacent docs, there isn't a whole lot of new info here. Frankenstein Created Bikers - Modern biker exploitation/grindhouse flick. A lot of fun stuff in here, but it could've used a much shorter run time. edit : forgot to mention that the Mother's Day Into the Dark was pretty good too.

Watched this over the weekend and didn’t hate it. Felt like a decent made for TV movie. also recently saw The Lodge: overall okay, some nice tension but the third act falters a lot. Wish the twist was different. Patchwork: really funny and goofy horror comedy done well. Nice take on the Frankenstein genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not huge on psychological horror and I think my tolerance for lesser quality ones isn't what it is for something like a bad slasher either.

radiatorhums Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Watched Two Evil Eyes last night and it was fun in a 'C+ / something you'd see on late night cable in the 90s' kind of way. Romero and Argento each tackling a segment based on Poe works. The Argento story was the better of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Had a surprisingly good viewing weekend. Empathy Inc. - Reminded me of something from the Twilight Zone or Black Mirror. It has a pretty glaring plot hole and the third act is a bit of a mess, but overall I thought it was a solid watch. Madman - Really fun early 80s slasher. A lot of laughably bad dialogue and some decent gore. The Corpse of Anna Fritz - I thought this was really well done. Minor issue is that some of the characters are such archetypes that a couple plot points are a bit obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 This weekend we watched: Come to Daddy - Really fun horror comedy. Elijah Wood is fantastic as always and the plot was fairly original. Swallow - In my opinion, this is a perfect example of why you can never trust Rotten Tomato scores. I really can’t believe this is “Certified Fresh.” It wasn’t bad. Really. But it kinda just felt like your average, slow-burn, indie horror/thriller. I don’t even know if you can call this horror or thriller. There were some “hard to watch” scenes but that’s about it. Plus the last 20 minutes or so are allll over the place. Felt like it didn’t know where to go with it. High Life - I wouldn’t necessarily call this a “horror” movie, but there are definitely some freaky and fucked up moments. Really enjoyed it all around though. Can almost never go wrong with anything A24 related. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I watched Body Cam last night and it's about 10% worse than the poster would lead you to believe. I went in knowing it was going to be a dud, so I had an ok time with it, but it never quite achieves fun-bad levels. I hadn't seen Almost Human and watched that on Monday. Good first feature, but I think I like every other Begos film more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Just finished The Invisible Man (most recent one). Holy shit that was good. Super tense the whole time and it was all incredibly well done. Really enjoyed it. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Watched The Beach House last night and thought it was fun. I've also been listening to Post Mortem with Mick Garris quite a bit lately. He's a good interviewer and gets some great guests, been enjoying it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
