what annoys me the most is fede alvarez proved he could go extreme and not be super off-putting with evil dead remake
so i felt betrayed
Fede was so far up his own ass at the Q&A for Don't Breathe. And it was before the movie, so it somehow made the experience of watching it even worse.
The only director I've seen who came close to being as full of themselves was Jeremy Saulnier. But at least that Q&A was after Blue Ruin, which I enjoyed way more.
What’s the gross part of Don’t Breathe? I haven’t seen it, but the premise at least sounded interesting.
ACTUAL DONT BREATHE SPOILER
So a girl hit the blind man's daughter and killed her in a car accident.
And the thieves find her in the basement, alive. But She dies in a kerfuffle.
He kidnapps the main girl, Jane Levy. And tells her that the girl he was keeping hostage was pregnant to replace the daughter she killed.
So he fills a turkey baster with frozen sperm that he had on hand and tells her that he will impregnate her instead, so he can have a daughter. But he will let her go in nine months after she bares the child.
But she fights him off and shoves the turkey baster in his mouth, forcing him to choke on his own seman.

just watched midsommar
it was fine
it did that thing I hate in horror movies where it tries to convince you that all these people deserved to get murdered
If this is the first you're hearing that The Gallows has a sequel, and that it's out now, congratulations! You are very close to accurately guessing the quality of this film
When even Blumhouse rushes a film straight to on-demand in the dead of night on a random weekend, you know it wasn't just because of poor test screenings
I could say some more words about how it has one of the more mean-spirited random bad twist endings I've ever seen, and how it actually makes me sorta-appreciate the first one because 1) it was still bad but not This bad and 2) at least that was a found footage film which, those usually suck. This didn't even have that excuse!
But I'd rather just forget this exists. I don't want to think about this anymore, because if I do I'll remember I've seen both, and I'll know that means an Act 3 is inevitable because the budget for both of these combined was half the price of my film ticket for the first one and a quarter of the on-demand price for this one

I decided that this October I would watch a horror movie I haven't seen before each day. Because I hate myself, my next selection was I, Frankenstein.
What even is this?! Frankenstein's monster ambushed by...gargoyles(?)...no, vampires(?) two minutes into the movie.
No, wait now the vampires are being killed by actual gargoyles.
Make that sexy murder gargoyles. This is now the second night in a row I'm watching a movie with a sexy murder gargoyle. How...
And the vampires are apparently actually demons. Totally not vampires. Totally. I think I can feel my eyes glazing over during this exposition dump.
Flash forward a couple centuries and with a haircut he's now sexy Frankenstein's monster. Why aren't the demons sexy like everyone else? This movie is racist against demons or something.
Lol, even the scientist is sexy. Get fucked, demons.
But she does work for the demons. And Bill Nighy is the head demon, as if this movie didn't already seem like Legally Not Underworld.
Fuck me, that was Jai Courtney.
Oh man, Jai Courtney is pissed. Get fucked, demons.
Jai Courtney fucked up. Quelle surprise.
Oh, hey. Trying to make up for a fuck-up by fucking up even worse. This is my shocked face.
And now it's like a cross between the matrix and the reveal from V where you find out what really happened to all the humans taken on board Visitor motherships.
"If it survived that at birth...what would it take to kill it?" Ahahahahahaha. I can't decide if I love or hate this stupid, stupid movie.
it did that thing I hate in horror movies where it tries to convince you that all these people deserved to get murdered
I was with William Jackson Harper for basically the whole movie
until it decided arbitrarily that he needed to make an out of character bad decision to justify him getting killed
That really muffled my enthusiasm for it

Midsommar is one of those movies that is shot so beautifully that I ignore the shortcomings of the story until hours or days later.
Then when I think back I realize it wasn't as good as I was thinking it was.
Still a gorgeous movie though.

AJ. AJ! I need another movie with a sexy murder gargoyle to keep the streak going. Either that or a horror movie with hunks. I don't think there's been a single hunk in any of the movies I've watched this month.
oh if you need a sexy murder gargoyle, watch the tales from the darkside movie
That was the first sexy murder gargoyle movie, from Thursday night. I realized I'd never watched it somehow and slotted it in. I need to complete the trifecta somehow now.
It was 2, 3, 4 and 1 for me. Great series. If it had been on Netflix, no one would've shut the fuck up about it but being on SyFy meant everyone just waited for streaming so it died :-(
Saw Perfect Blue at the local indie theater last night. The did dub last night and subs tonight; it's their 10pm "Graveyard Shift" thing they do, it's a cool little theater.
It's been 20 years since I've seen it and it remains solid. The dub has aged a bit! It's got some stuff that is still very relavent today and some stuff that has aged...not as well. There's an extended bit about the internet that had the entire audience laughing unintentionally.
Saw it with my buddy that's doing the 31 days with me, we had a good time.
was the egg thing in her room 5 representing that the reason she didnt contact Margot when she went to college because she got pregnant? It's the only thing I could figure out

Forget Terror Tract. One of the friends I had dinner with is a horrorpack subscriber, so I'm about to turn on Hellarious.
nice!!!! i really liked that one!!

StraightziHere we may reign secure, and in my choice,To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered Userregular
I took it a bit more metaphorically I think
I guess I didn't really have anything specific, but I took it as largely representing a fear of closeness with others, represented by the pregnant stomach in line with like, the idea of an umbilical cord.
I feel like her relationship with Margot is part of this, but also that with her family, and her whole willingness to sacrifice all of that as soon as given the chance.
But I think the pregnancy take is strong.
I'm trying to remember, with her family stuff at the beginning, is there a very young child present? As in like, a child of hers which she passed off to a relative or similar?

My partner would also add
It represents the forced closeness of family - the people you can't cut out of your life, who you love even though you oughtn't. Which also plays into her almost desire to let go of her memories, which she finds the act of doing pleasurable but also doesn't seem to be happy with having done

then you find out about the lady the blind man has locked in his basement
and you probably don't really want to know more, my dude

i see what you did here
Just saying, if I could be a Baker creature or 70's era Sonny Chiba, that isn't really a hard choice for me.
