The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 423

I wish he didn't praise a Victor Salva movie tho

 

Whatever happened with that movie The House That Jack Built? I remember being hyped about it earlier this year and then never heard anything after the festival premiere.

 

I've seen Come Out And Play, which is a Mexican remake of it. Haven't seen the original

 

That was the new Lars van Trier right? Or however you spell his name. I think it went around a few festivals, but I haven’t heard anything about distribution. I’m sure someone will eventually pick it up. It’s definitely been a while since any news has been dropped on it.

 

it's slooowwwww, so someone who gets bored easily will likely not be into it. it's the type of movie that you just let wash over you and take in every visual and sound as it fills you with dread and depression. I drove home in silence afterwards. loved it haha.

 

Welcome to Tromaville, the Bloodstained, Toxic-Goo-Drenched, Titty-Shaking Capital of Independent Film

 

I have now seen The Fly and it is troubling

 

sweet that movie rules

 

Starting to read A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay. Heard good things but haven't written anything non-fantasy in years.

 

The Fly is a top 10 of all time film for me.

 

I've never seen it. A glaring gap in my film history

 

Ive still got so much Cronenberg to see

Ive only seen Fly, Videodrome, Naked Lunch, Scanners, and Existenz. That last one really sucked.

Ive really wanted to see Crash it sounds so delightfully absurd

A Dangerous Method, Eastern Promises, History of Violence, Cosmpolis, and Maps to the Stars look really good

how is Dead Zone?

 

I've seen Shivers, Videodrome, The Fly, and Existenz. I agree that Existenz is bad

 

Dead Ringers is on shudder so I'll probably check that out soon

 

Dead Ringers is another with a premise that looks absolutely disgusting like Crash lol

 

6 Reasons ‘Night of the Living Dead’ is Meant to Be Seen On the Big Screen i'll be attending this

 

that could be cool

Oooh Linda Cardellini is in it. But she's playing a person with the surname Garcia, so. She's not hispanic/latina at all right? This is a Mexican folk story so that should matter

 

sigh

 

^Saw that when Clarke Wolfe tweeted about it. Pretty sure Jason Blum can hire whoever he wants soooo...

 

Rebekah Mckendry literally works for them on their podcast Shockwaves.
She's off filming right now.
Axelle Carolyn did Tales of Halloween with their crew.
Jackie Kong (Blood Diner) was also on not too too long ago talking about how no one was giving her work.
The Soska sisters just finished the Rabid remake.

 

The Fly is my favorite horror film. Also, everyone should see The Brood.

 

Watch it. Worth your time!

 

forgot to mention The Brood. It is great

 

OH! I've mentioned this before, but a big part of the reason I'm running through these full franchises is because of how much time I spent staring at the VHS covers at the rental stores, memorizing stills and making up movies because I was either too scared or not allowed to see them.

Well, I finally saw Jason Takes Manhattan, the one that captivated me most as a kid. And it was everything I wanted it to be. Outrageous, silly, and at times, unbelievable. Fun kills, surprisingly memorable characters, and imaginative directing. Just a blast, start-to-finish. I think it might be my favorite entry in the series? Definitely could've done without the kidnapping and attempted assault, which was really unnecessary, but at least they get theirs when Jason finds them. Other than that, truly over the moon about this movie lol.
