It's been making rounds through film festivals bit I haven't heard anything about it hitting streaming services yet. It's had some mixed reviews but I'm intrigued. First I’m seeing anything on this. I’ll probably check it out when it hits streaming; I’m a big Alabama fan so I’ll check it out for that odd-tie-in if for no other reason 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 First episode of 101 Greatest Horror Moments is up on Shudder now! Can’t wait to check it out. I’m a sucker for countdown shows like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Been in a horror mood recently so I’ll be making my way through the recs on this page. Watched Last Night in Soho and found it pretty disappointing. Also saw The Lure, which is a foreign film that’s been on my list for awhile and just popped up on HBOMax. It’s interesting in a “what if t.A.T.u. made horror musical out of The Little Mermaid?” kind of way. Also tried A Field Guide to Evil, but none of the stories really grabbed me.

I’m a sucker for countdown shows like this. Watched this last night. It was good! Gives decent context to the "moment" without being too spoilery. Best part, as always, is learning about new movies I haven't heard of. Pulse, aka Kairo (2001) and The Orphanage (2007) are on my list to look out for. Some new commentators beyond the usual Shudder crew - I liked hearing from Andy Muschietti. Also over the last few weeks I watched: The House on Sorority Row (1982). Not the exploitation flick I was expecting. I actually really enjoyed this movie and found it had an "I Know What You Did Last Summer" vibe. Really liked it and it inspired me to check out... Sorority Row (2009). Did not care for it. Maybe it's because it's from that era where protagonists were all gorgeous snarky smart asses and you rooted for them to get killed. Compared to the 1982 film where I felt bad that the characters were being picked off one by one in an atmosphere of dread, I felt zero attachment to any of these characters. Then, when it came to the reveal of the killer I was just unimpressed. Honeydew (2021). Good movie but I got hung up on how much I did not like the music. I think it could have felt like a totally different movie without the "quirky" music. Watcher (2022). This was mentioned a couple pages back and I completely agree - not terribly original but really well done. Kept me interested the whole time. Worth a watch.

dawhizz Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Saw Barbarian today and thought it was just OK. Intriguing premise and good performances, but I just didn’t like the way the story was told and without getting too spoilery there was one character I didn’t think needed to be there at all. Could have been a cool tight 80-90 minute movie but it wasn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Solo Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Pearl was fantastic and I have so much love for it, but without spoilers I will just note the monologue, the end credits, and the Disney-princess gone wrong vibe at the beginning.

Han Solo Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) The Dahmer show is very heavy and difficult to watch. I had to pause it a few times in the first episode alone, but its very good. It truly reflects how much of a piece of shit the guy was, so I think the current debate on social media about the show glorifying him is misleading. Would recommend watching an episode of a more lighthearted show afterwards lol Edited September 24, 2022 by Han Solo Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Ryan Murphy is attached to it, I didn’t have high hopes at all, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not sure why all of his other shows can’t be like that. But yeah. Definitely doesn’t glorify him like most other serial killer-related shows/movies tend to do with those people. I felt like it was about the victims and how their families were effected than anything. Evan Peters gave one hell of a performance though, holy shit. And Richard Jenkins is always top-tier in anything he’s in. Han Solo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably check that out on the 13th. Also, The Midnight Club starts this Friday on Netflix. Looking forward to that as well.

dawhizz Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Watched the new Scream last night, which just popped up on Showtime recently. It was OK. Thought some of the acting was kinda iffy, but it was pretty fun. Have a long list of movies in my queue this month that I never got around to including The Night House, in the Earth, Titane, His House, Possessor, and Audition (somehow never seen it!). Should be fun. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawhizz Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Watched The Eyes of My Mother on HBOMax last night. It’s pretty arty, short (76 minutes), and very messed up. I thought it was well done. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 New HELLRAISER was pretty good. As a hardcore all things Clive Braker fanboy, I found the new movie to be a good homage and expansion of the mythos & updated for current times & themes. Although the shadow of the original looms largely over, the new one was still enjoyable throughout. Also, watched The Black Phone recently as well. I found it to be fantastic. Ethan Hawke was incredible. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where they're headed with Ilonka's visions and the history of the house, but I am really liking the story telling segments.

iwokeinrelief Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 We watched Deadstream on Shudder last night - found footage film with a heavy dose of Evil Dead 2 - esque silliness. I enjoyed it fine for what it is; the location they used is super creepy, but it never gets overly scary (boo); it does a decent enough job of balancing being unnerving and funny though. It's worth a free watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Don't think I'm going to get my 31 movies in this month due to family visiting and a trip, but I had a pretty good start! Sissy (was more of a dark comedy than a horror movie, but I'm counting it) Children of the Corn Sorority House Massacre Pearl Pumpkinhead The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) I fell asleep watching Hellraiser last night, but I liked the half I saw. Stoked to finish it! Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
