The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 389

I see what you mean. there were maybe a few pacing issues, which would be really my only (minor) gripe with it, and it’s such a non-issue now having seen it, but I actually liked everything about that particular scene haha. definitely glad you liked it tho

 

Yeah, I'd just say some of the pacing, very minor. I'm in the same boat of not being able to stop thinking about it and think it'll bother me less on rewatch. Might've just been impatient and eager to get to Nic Cage's revenge, haha.

 

But seriously, that face merging was so subtle at first and subconsciously unsettling.

 

100%

fucked me up

 

it’s so fucking weird, man

I love it

I’ve seen a few reviewers say it and I’d agree that it really does follow in the tradition of great midnight movies like Eraserhead, El Topo, and Night of the Living Dead. it should be watched on the big screen, and as late as possible

 

This looks GREAT. Zulawski comparisons in the write-up plus the trailer have me seeing Possession similarities, which is always a good thing.

 

for those who have seen it - how violent/gory is Mandy?

 

There’s some pretty gnarly shit, haha, but also certain times where it was less gory than I would’ve expected them to be.

 

just watched Daybreakers last night. thought it was pretty cool and fun. kind of wish there was more, but works as one film too.

 

Really need to rewatch The Wailing. And The Thing, which I've only seen once before.

My girlfriend hasn't seen a lot of my favorites, so we're definitely going to watch An American Werewolf In London, Halloween, The Evil Dead series, NOES, various others.

 

Is there a cut of A Quiet Place without the soundtrack? Perhaps fan-made, even?

 

I would say the violence definitely isn't the main attraction, it get crazy but only for brief moments within a very flowing and psychedelic sense of time.

 

I loved every second of Mandy, exceeded my very high expectations. I've never seen anything like it. I liked Beyond The Black Rainbow but this movie does all the things I wish that movie did and way more. The acting in the movie was phenomenal, the way scenes blended together, the SCORE. God DAMN. Nic Cage went all in and that still wasn't even the best part!

I think the biggest improvement on Beyond The Black Rainbow that Mandy has is that it brings you into moments that sober you at several points and that really helps you process what happened before, in BTBR you were sort of trapped in the world and you don't get a break unless you pause it lol. I do feel like some of the pacing was slow but compared to Rainbow it's nothing and it really just made it feel like a full on acid trip

 

it’s like you’re reading my mind

 

I haven't even started on beginning to praise this movie properly lol

Jeremiah is such an amazing and terrifying antagonist and is the critique of how pathetic toxic masculinity is we need right now.

 

I can’t stop thinking about it

 

Zachary Quinto to Star in AMC's NOS4A2 almost bought this book the other day

 

fuck it probably gonna dip work early to watch Mandy because I don't wanna wait anymore

watched What Keeps Us Alive last night - thought it was very good if you're able to suspend disbelief re: the premise

 

if you can, recommend seeing Mandy in the theatre.

There was some dude behind me who thought it was supposed to be like an action movie and would go "HAHA NICE" after every death in such a way that made me really wonder he was thinking during the opening 30 minutes lol

 

Mandy and Hereditary are easily my favorite movies of the year, nothing else comes close

 

I have high hopes for Climax

 

it’s on my list

I never finished Love, but I’m a pretty big fan of his other films so I’m excited for that one. wanna see The Beach Bum, and The Favourite; hope Suspiria is cool, hope The House That Jack Built is cool. looking forward to Under the Silver Lake. think that’s about it tho

 

Oh Suspiria is also a big one!

a friend saw Climax and said it was insane in the best way

 

those are also pretty much exactly the films I'm looking forward to that I'm aware of
