Horror films

[Beautiful Child 2]

Maika Monroe is basically a queer ally by proxy for the finale of The Guest being soundtracked by Antonio (Berlin Breakdown version). GAY HISTORY.

Anyone who started in It Follows can say faggot.

Longlegs looks incredible and it’s had the most interesting marketing campaign of the year. Have been seeing strange little teases since January.

Strangers Chapter 1 was reductive. But I’ll be there for Chapter 2 out of curiosity. Trailers played for Maxxxine, Never Let Go.

Speaking of It Follows I hope we get some news on They Follow soon. Not sure it's needed but I will be absolutely sat.

I have a short story collection with Victorian horror stories. I read it 15-20 years ago. One of the stories, The Mezzotint, stayed with me.

As I recognized one of the voice actors from Horizon Zero Dawn from Midsomer Murders ages ago (does that show still air???), I discovered they made a 30 minute short film in 2021 and (because I'm obsessed) I hunted it down and watched it.

It was fairly decent. It definitely didn't overstay its welcome and it didn't feel too short either. They made some changes to the story, which I guess was supposed to tie the whole thing together, but it ended up causing a bit of a plothole/major coincidence instead. There doesn't seem to be many adaptations of it, so it's worth watching for people who enjoyed the short story.

Think this was part of a BBC anthology series that Mark Gatiss does. It was pretty well done! Some of the others have been terrible; the most recent one was awful if I remember correctly (with Kit Harrington).

Watched The Twilight Zone movie and somehow the segment that resulted in three people getting crushed under a helicopter wasn't the worst one...

Colin Salmon as a slick military type in both Resident Evil AND Alien vs. Predator? Milla Jovovich's husband knew what he was doing.

Always remember him as the headmaster from Hex.

I just read some reviews for this, premiered at Cannes two days ago. Sounds insane!! The teaser is very tasteful, it doesn't show a lot but why do I have a feeling this is going to be a cult classic?

Well 'Strait-Jacket' was as camp as tits. First time watch and so much trashy fun. I couldn't tell if Joan Crawford was playing mad really well or she couldn't hide her feelings having being reduced to schlock. It wouldn't have worked without her though.

She was probably drunk. I love that movie.

She was probably drunk. I love that movie.

The special features on the Blu Ray are a hoot. Some of the stories about her behaviour onset are interesting, although not surprising.

Just finished The Glass House and pfffft you could tell that this movie was completely massacred in editing. Subplots that go nowhere, weird pacing, entirely cut characters... A The Faculty tea (except not good)! The last 25 minutes are a complete SCREAM though, I was not expecting it to get so convoluted and completely over the top. The entire movie should have been like that. Love the very 2000s look though. How come modern digital cinematography doesn't look nearly as nice and sleek?

Was going to see Darkness next despite the bad press it got... The 2000s were such a weird decade for horror.

House of the Dead having a 1.4 on Letterboxd just shows people hate fun!

A complete guilty pleasure for me. Liberty is a legitimate horror icon - where are her flowers?!

The windows are shaking!!!!

If they bring her back to die, I swear…

 

[defclubmix]

Can they retcon Helen's death while they're at it

 

[Hudvar]

Brandy has one of the best chase scenes. Even if she does respond to a cracking pane of glass under her foot by putting the remainder of her weight on it. Final girl behaviour.

 

[GodsAndMonsters]

I can't wait for this, it looks so good. Also, someone on Twitter pointed out a cool detail that she's wearing a pearl necklace and the dress makes an X at the back.

His voice is just as great now, isn't it my Eastender Hens?

I concur.

The windows are shaking!!!!

Let's hope they've been quadruple glazed.

I’ve got to admit that I did get a bit restless at points of I Saw The TV Glow but by the end I was completely shook. It so effectively creeps up on you that I didn’t even realise how unsettled I was. And when it has you there it really turns into something deeply horrific. That ending sticks with you. If Late Night With The Devil was a movie that’s parts were better than the whole package, this is a movie that’s whole is better than its parts.

Also I did really enjoy the entire aesthetic and the Buffy The Vampire Slayer nods/homages! I’d recommend this one to all the horror girlies.

 

[iRelate]

I hate to say it but I was a bit underwhelmed by I Saw The TV Glow, perhaps I was expecting more of a horror movie than what it delivered.
