I just finally watched both Terrifiers and they are…something, lol. Art the Clown could be a classic like other slashers soon. Hope they can increase the budget and work on acting and story a little more for the next one.
lol I honestly hate clowns, but Art is my favorite. The moment I saw him in All Hallows Eve I did research and found out there was a movie about him and I loved it. The second one way good, but I hate the way he was defeated lol
They are working on a 3rd too I hope they don’t go overboard and kill his legacy lol
Trick R Treat is a Halloween Classic, watch that if you haven’t
Gonna recommend some slower artsy horror films that I really enjoyed but aren’t for everyone. If you enjoyed the movies like The VVitch and Hereditary they may be right up your ally.
-A Dark Song (Slow Burn Occult Horror inspired by an actual ritual done by Alester Crowley)
-The Endless (Low-budget Cosmic Horror story about two brothers returning to the UFO cult they escaped from as children)
-Annihilation (Cosmic Horror. A team of female Scientist must cross a growing barrier which allows no people or communication to escape.)
-Men (Folk Horror. A traumatized woman retreats to a quiet English village but finds herself tormented by its inhabitants.)
-The Empty Man (Based on a graphic novel, sort of a mix of a Slasher and Cosmic Horror. A bit overlong and needed to be edited, but enjoyable none-the-less)
-Suspiria (Both the original and the 2016 remake, they are best enjoyed together as the remake compliments the original rather well. A young American woman enrolls in a prestigious German dance school where not everything is as it seems)
-His House (A refugee family flees to the UK. Can they escape the ghosts and trauma of their past while attempting to adjust to their new life?)
-Amulet (Another topical horror film involving refugees in the UK. An ex-soldier moves in to a new flat occupied by a woman and her ill mother where he is tormented by ghost past and present.)
-The Blackcoats Daughter (Slow Burn Religious Horror. Two girls are left alone at a Catholic boarding school over winter break when one of them begins to exhibit unsettling behavior)
The same duo behind The Endless and Resolution released a film on Netflix called Synchronic that also has ties to the other two. Personally I found it to be the weakest of the trilogy but it was worth watching. Its much more accessible to mainstream audiences and is more a sci-fi thriller then horror.
I’m going to see, “Priscilla” by Sofia Coppola soon.
I enjoyed, “killers of the flower moon” by Scorsese and didn’t mind the length. It was a hot day outside so I appreciated the nearly 4 hours of air conditioning for the same price as 2 hours of AC. The story was good too.
Movies, sadly not much atm. Been watching shows and youtube reactions whilst travelling. That said, I’ve seen fresh reactions to greats such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and 28 Days Later.
One of the comments said they can’t get through any Scorsese movies but I can and have enjoyed them too. I also think there’s room for superhero movies and enjoy them too.
It’s like the poor argument that some people make against Andor saying “it’s not Star Wars”. Extremely short-sighted in a vast galaxy to explore that can come from different angles. Personally, Andor is the best Star Wars. I don’t think it all needs to be like Andor, as there’s room for Jedi, Sith and light sabers, but it is a testament to the quality the property can achieve.
I think a lot of the pushback that he’s getting from it is mostly to do with the level of snobbery that it was said with.
It’s incorrect anyway, because by what metric are movies judged other than revenue? He might as well have said that book adaptations don’t count either because they’re not original works.
It’s just a bizarre thing to have commented on, what was the point? If he makes a movie and it’s good, and it’s not as if he’s bitter because he’s made plenty of good movies, people will watch it. There was no reason to have a go at Marvel. If you want crap superhero movies look at DC stuff.
Disney is in the business of beating dead horses. But I’m happy for them to keep trying, I just won’t watch until they make something good. I still want to see a film with avengers/xmen/fantastic 4 in it at some point, but with the massive loss of momentum that’s starting to pile up who knows how this will unfold.
The thing is there is so much source material that they could refresh it with a completely new take and new characters. But.the shared universe has become unwieldy, both in production a nd in narrative.
What they should be doing is backing off the slavish attention to continuity and letting auteurs do their thing without worrying about setting up future installments or following up stuff that came before. And they seriously need to slow down their rollouts. When it was still new, it was exciting to be getting two new shows and three new movies in this world every year. But the novelty is gone now, so they only have the strength of their stories to hold them up, and lately, those have been suffering because of the brutal production line.
