If we're thinking of the same 'The Last Winter', then I'd say avoid it like the plague. My girlfriend and I absolutely hated it. Gingersnaps was good, though, from what I remember.
On an unrelated note, I should thank the thread for getting me to find and watch Trick R Treat. What a great Halloween movie.
Love it to death.
As for the most disturbing "horror" movie ever, my brother and my old roomate are super into horror movies. there is some japanese movie, Pinocchio 747 or something like that (with a square root symbol thrown in somewhere too), that seriously messed up my roomate. Seriously. Then he gave it to my brother, and my brother said it was the weirdest, most disturbing thing he'd seen. I believe the disc, literally, is up in my parents attic because I refused to watch it or take it, and they didn't want it.
So I can't really recommend it, and I'm not even 100% sure it's classified as horror because all I've heard are descriptions, but jesus christ if you're in the mood to just be horrified it's...yeah...
Also I remember a copy of the instant classic "Fear dot com" floating around my brothers bedrooms forever. my brother worked at a blockbuster and got it from there, and I just remember it becoming the default gag gift whenever we gave each other a present for no reason.
I love Brotherhood of the Wolf. They need to hurry up and put it out on BD, damn it.
Ditto, it was a fabulous film.
You want to see something that's fucking unsettling as shit? Antichrist with Willem Defoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Definitely a film for mature audiences.
I read a synopsis of that and decided I never need to see it, ever.
Ditto. Like the fucking Human Centipede.
That's about right. The thing is, it's actually an incredibly well done movie in that every sound, gesture and camera angle makes you want to crawl out of your skin, and the story isn't spoiled by the desire to pull some gigantic reveal where the film beats you over the head and goes "SEE YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT I FOOLED YOU, THIS IS WHAT"S ACTUALLY HAPPENING." Sometimes evil and insanity don't have a clear cut rationality.
Having said that, if it turned out that Lars von Trier spends his free time strangling hobos so he can use the blood from their mutilated genitals as a masturbatory lubricant, that wouldn't surprise me based on the film he made.
I didn't think 8MM was much of anything. I mean, I guess you could call it compelling in that you want to finish it, and it is filmed very well, but I'd put so many more movies that do it better well before that in my recommendations.
I haven't had time to finish it, but Cigarette Burns is a much better take on the same thing.
Google tells me it's 964 Pinocchio (with a square root sign over the 964). Also that the genre is technically Japanese cyberpunk. Also that the plot involves a memory-wiped sex slave who is thrown away due to his inability to maintain an erection.
You can find more plot info online if desired. Uh, if you really want. I guess.
Reading further, horrifying seems like a good description. Damn you.
And that's why I didn't have a problem with the scenes in 28 Days Later. In the breakdown of society, there are always going to be people who either lose it completely, or attempt to take advantage of the situation to get as much personal power as possible. In this movie, it just happened to be the guys with the guns. didn't really see it as a commentary on the military, per se.
Absolutely. I was thinking about it later and I really couldn't come up with any real social commentary from 28DL other then "what can we be pushed to" or "we're all a little monstrous". There wasn't any slam on the military tho.
Yellow Brick Road
The Possession of David O'reilly
The Disappeared
Home Movie
Cthulhu
Salvage
Yeah. Only reason I mentioned it was because I hadnt seen it talked about, and I remember him buying it in the HORROR section of Best Buy.
And the cover of the DVD is burned into my brain.
Saw it. Was confused, though not scared.

Yeah, that's what I heard so it annoys me that it hasn't been fixed in over a year.

Love the film score by composer Michael Giacchino for Let Me In, too.
It's only just fine if you haven't seen the original. If you have, it comes nowhere near to fine.
I tried watching Let the Right One In on Netflix a few years back, and the subtitles were cut off at the bottom of the screen. I had to get it on DVD instead. They might have since fixed it.
is that a ... drill wang?
:winky:
Dead Leaves anyone?
I especially notice this during viewings of classic horror movies; movies like The Exorcist, Alien and The Thing didn't actually scare me at all. I thought they were fantastic movies on their own rights, but outside of the crab walk scene in The Exorcist and the blood jump scene in The Thing, those three movies didn't terrify me so much.
I treat those movies like The Beatles music; sure they can seem outdated and/or surpassed in different ways by other, newer flicks, but back then those kind of scares were so groundbreaking and fresh that people didn't know how to react because of how original they were at the time.
It becomes a lot more easier to appreciate them for what they are with that in mind, so I definitely don't feel disappointed for not being as scared as I've heard others being when viewing the flicks.
There is an EXCELLENT documentary called Never Sleep Again all about the Elm Street series that goes very very indepth about the homosexual overtones (inadvertent as they may have been). It was one of the best documentaries about a film series I have seen and would love one about Friday the 13th just like it.
But then again I am the exact right age to love the "dream" triliogy of 3/4/5.
I was just old enough to watch but just young enough not to fully understand Dream Warriors when it was new. With 4 I was old enough to fully understand and be sucked in by the "90s hip" of part 4 and just had to see the whole thing thru with part 5. I don't like the others except for Freddy Vs. Jason and I am one of the few that actually think the plot makes sense in it's own way.
3 really really could use a quality remake. The remake of 1 was ... ... I don't know if I like it or not but i think if handled right 3 would make a killing at the box office.
