The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 453

i checked out silent night deadly night and christmas evil over the weekend, both of which i hadnt seen. loved them both.

 

I finally got Hereditary from Redbox and watched it. I knew nothing about it except for all the praise it got. I thought it was good and was super confused at the end. I got the whole thing about Paimon and the cult though. I googled and read articles and I definitely need to rewatch to connect the dots myself.

 

Christmas Presence on Shudder is a "get high and watch it with other people" type of movie

 

Watched Black Christmas and Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale this weekend. both great. the one thing that makes me laugh with Black Christmas and I know it's suspension of disbelief, but man, he's like screaming into that phone haha and no one hears it.

Rare Exports was so good. definitely a new staple for me every year. the way it's shot feels like an Amblin movie so that makes me love it even more

 

was just thinking about this last night as i finished watching black christmas with my girlfriend. ESPECIALLY the last phone call when its literally just jess downstairs and the house is absolutely silent. like cmon you would most certainly hear him upstairs hahah. still so good though. need to do rare exports still.

 

haha right? must be the most insulated attic ever

 

I’m in

 

Looks like that is gonna go off the rails. Count me in too

 

Well that looks wild.

Before I Wake and Unfriended above Hereditary lmao

 

I came in here to talk about it and ask if anyone else knew wtf it meant. The end definitely lost me. The whole thing was a little side-eye from me tbh haha

 

so I went to try to make sense of it, but then just googled to see if someone else did it haha https://decider.com/2018/12/11/hulu-pooka-ending-explained/

edit: here's another Pooka! Hulu brings a Dickens classic Into the Dark

 

I mean...that reaffirms everything I thought but doesn’t explain anything new

And like I have the lowest bar for movies but this one is a no from me. I like the idea of the story they were going for (or at least the one in that article) but there were too many things that didn’t get explained/didn’t add up so ultimately I feel that they just missed the mark.

 

Anyone heard of/seen Dead Night?

 

Picking out something on Shudder for tonight. Is Digging Up The Marrow any fun?

 

You should watch it so you can tell me about it. We have similar tastes and I’ve been meaning to watch it for years but it keeps slipping my mind

 

Loved the trailer, so I think I'm going to give it a go! Reviews seemed mixed but it's right up my alley. Not looking for much here besides a fun premise and creature design.

 

Okay, so checking back in. This was...fun, but not very good lol. I'd probably still recommend it if you have a soft spot for found footage/mockumentaries and creature design. I got what I wanted out of it, but the pacing is a little uneven and the story doesnt quite add up. If that doesn't bother you,I'd say it's worth the watch.

My biggest pet peeve was that large chunks of the film felt like a commercial for the rest of Adam Green's filmography. I can't imagine enjoying those moments unless you're a huge fan of his work, and I've never seen another film of his.

 

i feel like adam green is the embodiment of hit or miss

 

I haven't seen Victor Crowley yet, but the three Hatchet movies are a blast

 

they are a lot of fun and i do love his dedication to practical effects..it really makes every single kill fucking awesome but goodness, some other aspects of those movies really were very bad. but honestly i guess i’m also describing a lot of movies from the 80s that i sincerely adore

 

yeah, I guess I always thought that was the point (leaning into the so bad it's good aspects) but it's admittedly been a while since I've seen them

 

he also did frozen right? i remember really enjoying that

 

I know I've seen some Faculty love in here before... @Kiana

The Faculty is the bleakest and most subversive film of the ’90s studio teen-horror cycle
