So that’s fun. -Also finally watched Cure which was awesome of course and I’m sure I’ll watch it again soon with the new Criterion 4K cut coming. - we’re also about 5 (of 8 ) episodes through The Silent Sea which is a decent / enjoyable Korean sci-fi limited series with some minor horror elements (if you’re on the *right* side of the Alien is a horror movie debate 😂).

The Innkeepers is one of my all-time favorites. And The Sacrament is really, really good too. A very “Jim Jones” story. And I don’t care what anyone says: Cabin Fever 2 is great. It’s so much fun. In a Valley or Violence is also great if you’re in a “western” mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm remembering correctly, The Roost was decent as well, but hardly a must see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwokeinrelief Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Cool, cool. I know Innkeepers is on Prime so I’ll give it a spin soon; I was going to watch History of the Occult and The Innocents today but one of my kiddos is home with COVID (and the other is home quarantining) so no daytime horror movies for me until next week 😓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwokeinrelief Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 History of the Occult was awesome, smart in a “I probably need to watch that a couple more times to put everything together” kind of way, and actually good enough that I want to and will. Way more cerebral than scary, had to have had basically no budget, but damn what a smart well put together flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops, forgot to mention that while I *think* this will eventually come to Netflix, it’s currently not commercially available in the states. We finished The Silent Sea last night - I described it as “decent” up above and see no reason to revise that descriptor. Really great cast of Korean genre actors, and the whole thing looks great, but it never really elevates itself to anything better than “good”. Started that new Netflix limited series Archive 81 - which I’ve seen a lot of strong buzz / early reviews - first episode was good / interesting. We’ll try to get through it over this coming week.

iwokeinrelief Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 HEADS UP - With Sundance going 100% online you can buy tickets to watch the new Benson/Moorhead movie (Something in the Dirt) on either the 23rd or the 25th. I did (25th for me as the 23rd is already cluttered for me). Everything they do is must watch for me, The Endless is probably my favorite genre movie of recent memory.

Dude… Yellowjackets might be one of the best shows I’ve watched in a long time. We watched the whole first season last weekend. So nice and refreshing to see an original idea be so good. Most things are based off of books or “movies turned into shows” nowadays. Speaking of shows based off of books, I know it’s not really “horror,” but my wife and I also just recently watched Station Eleven and holy shit. Super emotional and well done. Made me want to go and read the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Yellowjackets was great all the way through! I was watching it week to week and it very quickly became something I needed to watch as soon as I could. Adult Misty (Christina Ricci) is so awesome haha. I haven't had much time for TV, but I'm looking forward to Station Eleven and Archive 81 whenever I get to them. I've also heard really good things about Anna.

And thankfully I dumped my Shudder subscription for an AMC+ subscription (they had 12 months for like $25 as a holiday special) so I have access to this. I’ll probably get to it next, because after Yellowjackets I’m kind of tapped out on TV shows I want to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwokeinrelief Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Watched Antlers last night - Looks great, cinematography is solid. Otherwise it was pretty meh. That’s what I expected honestly, but my wife has wanted to watch this so 🤷♂️ (I really just wanted to watch more Yellowjackets; we’re going to see Hadestown tonight - [!!!] - so I won’t be able to get back to it until tomorrow; 3 episodes in and I’m hooked) Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwokeinrelief Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Absolutely loved the new Benson/Moorhead movie (Something in the Dirt); definitely something that needs to be watched more than once though as it's structural complexity only reveals itself as the movie unfolds. Looking forward to visiting it again in the future once it's eventually available for home viewing. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
