Don't think Benson/Moorehead fans will be disappointed. It’s so great, a good step back up from Synchronic, which I enjoyed but no where near to the level of their other stuff. I never thought I’d see a cinematic palimpsest, but here we are. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Watched The Menu on HBOMax earlier today. More like a “thriller,” but I loved the hell out of it. So much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwokeinrelief Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Going to catch Skinamarink at my local arthouse in a couple hours. I’m pretty sure / hoping it’ll play better in a completely dark room with booming sound, but I suppose I’ll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was only one showtime on both Friday and today (7:05pm) and after even knowing the littlest bit about it, we figured it wouldn’t be a great idea to see it in theaters. Just had a bad feeling it would be one of those cases where a bunch of people go to see it who have no idea what they’re getting into, end up hating it, which then makes the experience miserable for everyone else. So we’re just gonna hang tight for the Shudder release hopefully sooner rather than later. We did randomly watch The Vigil on Hulu today though. It was alright.

So we’re just gonna hang tight for the Shudder release hopefully sooner rather than later. We did randomly watch The Vigil on Hulu today though. It was alright. I can see that logic. Ours was a 930 showing, which my local had screenings for a few nights this past week, but only 930 showings. It was pretty well sold, not sold out but fairly full, and I don’t think there was any issue whatsoever with our crowd. I was also a little worried about that, having seen it already, and knowing that it’s certainly a bit more blurry and art house than people might expect, but crowd was really receptive and had some really good interaction / reactions on some of the creepier/scarier parts, and it was overall a fun experience. I’m not sure if I liked it any *more* seeing it in the theater or not, but it was fun to get out anyway. My wife and I watch The Vigil back in 2020? 2021? Whenever it came out, and we enjoyed it quite a bit. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Solo Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I saw Skinamarink last night as well and really enjoyed it. I found that the more you immersed yourself and didn’t try to force a narrative, the more you got out of it. My crowd was also receptive to the scarier bits and it was nice to be able to have a Q and A with the director afterwards! Definitely helps you understand his artistic process. Basically the entire movie I just felt very, very, uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I watched Sick over the weekend and it was a decent modern slasher. Not sure if I I'd watch it again, but it made for a fun Saturday night movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I watched Phantom of the Mall : Eric's Revenge on Saturday night and it's a gem of a bad movie. Highly recommended! I've also really been enjoying The Last of Us so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I watched M3GAN on Friday night and it's dumb and fun. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a horror-comedy or if it was unintentionally comedic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Watched Piggy and Dashcam yesterday. Piggy was great. Definitely wasn’t what I was expecting but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I personally really liked Dashcam. Main girl was definitely annoying (which seems to be most people’s complaint) and her “humor” kind of took my out of a lot of the scarier moments, but it was good for what it was. Oh I completely forgot to mention that we watched Skinamarink a couple weekends ago. I definitely liked it. My only actual complaint is the length. It was waaaay longer than it needed to be. I think an hour 10/hour 20 would’ve been the perfect length. But I loved how much Lynch vibes I was getting throughout the whole thing. Just saw that Something in the Dirt is up on Hulu now as well so definitely gonna watch that the next chance we get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, really thinking about doing a free trial of Screambox just to watch The Outwaters. Looks crazy and I’ve heard great things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I think I liked the concept and execution of Possessor more than Infinity Pool, but I ended up watching the latter last night. It was still entertaining and hearing Hecker’s music in widescreen was pretty surreal. (I know he scored The North Water last year, but I haven’t seen it.) radiatorhums and Rip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I watched Children of the Corn II and III this weekend and they're a whole lot of fun. Some really fun kills in both and III goes wild in the last 1/3rd. I also watched Infinity Pool a few weekends back and really dug it.
