Also re:The Substance…I had never seen Margaret in anything before but she was fantastic! As was Demi of course, both of them did a superb job (especially with minimal dialogue). The scene of Elisabeth obsessing over her makeup before going on the date was especially effective.

- Thread starter robots need oil
- Start date
If you loved Margaret, I highly recommend watching Sanctuary. It’s more of a thriller/drama, but she’s simply incredible in it. My favorite performance of hers.
Watched MaXXXine finally and it was fun. Definitely unfortunate they didn't commit to the 80's slasher vibes the trailer led me to believe they would, but I enjoyed it.
I am now watching House of the Devil for the first time and who knew Greta Gerwig was such a bad actress! Wild. The first 30 minutes are excruciatingly boring, I pray things pick up.
Edit: its been an hour and only one moment of action has occurred ddddd.

The one thing I did like about this movie is the #aesthetic. I would love for more new filmmakers to make movies that look like they were made 40 years ago. It's just kinda refreshing in a way.
I agree that was the best aspect but the whole thing was a chop for me. The climax didn't justify the slow burn.

I loved House Of The Devil... and thought it built up wonderfully to it's terrifying climax.
Fall Of The House Of Usher... was camp great fun, was decliously dark in parts (the bedbound wife), and also some of the goriest tv I have ever seen (the club).

The House of the Devil slander in this thread? Notonmywatch.gif
It's his best film, Mawma. Pearl comes in a close second.
That movie was purely about that build up. Maybe it's time for a rewatch.

The House of the Devil followed by The Innkeepers for me. I loooove a good slow burn. Mumblehorror is my sweet spot.
Safe is one of my favourites ever. A singular experience. Julianne x Todd will always be the pairing of dreams.
Smile 2 was really good. Interested in where it goes if they make a 3rd one with the way it ended. I just saved The Skye Riley EP and will give it a listen later.
Terrifier 3 was wild of course but I really enjoyed this one. Gore on top of gore. I’m glad it works as another Christmas horror movie, we can always use more of those. Looking forward to the next part of the story.

I didn’t enjoy Smile 2 as much as I hoped. It was quite tense at the start, but I got bored of the jump scares by the end and just didn’t find it scary at all. It ended up being just too similar in formula to the first and one and too predictable for me. And I find hallucinations just a bit of a cop out in horror films sometimes. I also find the “everyone thinks woman is going crazy and nobody believes her” trope a bit tired. Naomi was really good in this regardless though.

Oddity for me fell super flat just as Caveat did if not more. I found that, like Caveat, it had a scary premise, it just went to a place I felt really cold on. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either.
The Substance. Wtf? That third act was wild. A monster producing a spare boob was not on my bingo card.

Fright Night Part 2 should have been iconic but unfortunately it comes off as messy and a bit of a slog. Weird to think it was the Menendez murders that led to it flopping and still not being available properly on DVD or Blu-ray.
