The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 625

What was your opinion of In The Tall Grass?

 

Mentally preparing myself for The Lighthouse in a few hours lol

edit: preparing to spill my beans in a few hours, I mean

 

Update: Totally forgot to put Creepshow on the list. Don't know how that one slipped by me since I had just watched the finale this week.

 

Meh, some cool elements/parts, but nothing special.

 

The Nightingale was way too rough for me lol

 

Boring

 

How do you mean? Without giving away too much i guess haha. I wanna watch it and my gf is also interested but I don’t want her walking into something she’s not ready for.

 

there are some (spoilers/tw) rape scenes (emphasis on the plural) that are really intense and some brutal racial violence

it’s definitely important for the movie to say what it wants to say but not something I would recommend if you aren’t ready for it, it’s pretty much a period piece version of Irreversible

 

Yeah, absolute trigger warning here but it is in no way gratuitous and is entirely essential to the story. I think it’s important that they made certain scenes really difficult to watch to properly depict the horrors of colonialism

I personally don’t think it’s nearly as graphic as Irreversible but it’s incredibly bleak

It’s also really, really good

 

I had to Google the plot to hereditary after watching it especially for the ending. Yep that's what I figured happened but still had to confirm. Interesting

 

yeah it's definitely more tasteful than Irreversible but that was the best comparison I could think of in terms of how horrible I felt lol

 

oh yeah, had the same thought tbh

 

This is perfect. Thanks y’all! I have seen Irreversible so I think I can inform accurately enough and then we’ll see what happens. Regardless I will be watching it at some point.

 

Annoyed that I have neglected to watch Raising Cain up until now because that was a weird and engrossing film that must have been an influence on the likes of Split but is way more enjoyable due to how much fun Lithgow is having playing five different characters and De Palma doing whatever he wants without a care for anything.

 

Where are people watching The Nightingale?

 

It’s on Hulu now

 

Oh awesome. Thank you!

 

Texas Chainsaw Massacre was terrifying and amazing. Holy shit. That dinner scene tho.

 

I watched The Exorcist for the first time in probably 15 years last night. God damn that movie is still the GOAT. I had my first nightmare in years after watching that then I woke up in the middle of the night and my cat was running around the apartment. I almost shit a brick lmao

 

I almost spilled my beans at The Lighthouse because the couple behind us managed to bring a whole big of chips and just crinkled the bag and crunched SO LOUD the first half of the movie.

Still an absolutely bonkers film, though.

 

were they baked beans

 

Currently in the theater waiting for The Lighthouse with three other people and none of us know what to expect at all.

 

I have so much on my slate coming up. The Lighthouse, the Nightingale, the Lodge, Parasite

 

WOW that was something else entirely omg

 

Child's Play was fun for what it was
