It feels a bit more like a rough draft than a finished script. Still a lot to like if you're a Cronenberg fan, but it's not his strongest outing. I've got this sitting on my server to watch; I'll still check it, but that's not the best to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 Watched a movie on Amazon Prime last night called “Butterfly Kisses.” Came out in 2018 and it’s basically a “found footage movie of a guy who finds footage.” Focuses on a urban legend called the “Blink Man.” Basically if you stare down this tunnel for an hour, the Blink Man appears and every time you blink he gets closer and closer. It was fairly original and had a pretty good amount of suspense. Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re into found footage at all. iwokeinrelief and radiatorhums 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought some decent ideas to the genre. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I finally got to see Men and overall, really liked it. Great performances, Garland's visuals are as good as ever and it'll probably leave a lasting impression. It's pretty heavy handed and I'm not quite sure if I liked that or not (still thinking on it). I also watched Watcher this weekend and it was enjoyable enough. A better than average thriller, but nothing new necessarily. Finally, I watched two turds. Abandoned and Revealer. Neither are worth your time Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 I did end up watching Mad God last weekend. It was pretty good. Pretty much no dialogue but of course the visuals were awesome. Soundtrack was great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Watched Incantation last night. Really good with just the right amount of spookiness. Very easy to compare it to The Medium. I think in terms story I liked Incantation better. But when it comes to all-around creepiness, I think The Medium has it beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdomestic Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I watched Lucio Fulci's Zombi aka Zombie 2 aka Zombie Flesh Eaters aka a few other titles. I loved it in a "where has this movie been all my life!" kinda way. I enjoy the odd zombie movie but I'm typically more of a slasher fan. This one hit the spot, for some reason. I really enjoyed the gross design of the zombies (even though they were all kinda the same), I liked the various settings and the more absurd elements of the movie (topless scuba diver watching a zombie fight a shark underwater!!). I feel like this has opened a gateway and I am looking forward to checking out more Italian zombie movies. I also watched Halloween Kills. A little late to the party on that one but I understand the negative feedback on it now. It felt like I was sitting through a series of forced flashbacks to make up for the lack of story. The movie just felt kind of tedious to me. Didn't really care for it but hopefully Halloween Ends is better. I also watched The Burning again because it's back on Shudder. I still like it. X is on Prime now. Hope to check it out sometime this week. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they filmed the movies back to back but still didn’t anticipate seeing Pearl so soon. Very exited. Han Solo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fine. Certainly not what I expected; closer to Greener Grass than horror in my opinion, but the color scheme and repressed dialogue informed that more than the plot (I liked Greener Grass quite a bit more fwiw). Did you ever watch RRR?!? Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I watched both Firestarter movies recently. I'd never seen the original one, so both were new to me. I've never gotten the impression that the 1984 one was a great movie, but I was surprised that it was as bad as it was. As for the 2022 Firestarter, it's borderline unwatchable. Unless you're a King movie completist, both can probably be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Solo Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I watched All About Evil on Shudder earlier today and it was great! Very silly, but very self aware. The cast included Natasha Lyonne, Jack Donner and Elvira even has a role as one of the character's parents. Its just fun. Throw it on if you want something moderately cheesy but with good slasher scenes radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I watched Prey on Friday night and wow, that's a heck of a movie! Easily the best Predator movie since the first. iwokeinrelief 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Watched Crimes of the Future last night. I liked it. Wasn’t too much to the story but the visuals were there and I mean, at this point, that’s what you expect and want out of a Cronenberg film.

Han Solo Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Saw The Wicker Man at my local indie theatre over the weekend, that was a lot of fun on the big screen. Planning on going back for the 40th anniversary showing of The Thing next week! Rip, iwokeinrelief and dantheriver 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Just finished The Black Phone. Really, really good. Wish there was a little more depth to the story but that didn’t take away from my enjoyment at all. Highly recommend it. iwokeinrelief 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made my head spin a bit when it clicked what the director was doing and just how damn difficult it must have been to pull off. Absolutely wonderful. This is on Prime now and I still cannot recommended it highly enough. Go in blind if you can, trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
