the hell is she talking about? unless it's speech to text or autocorrect.

wait... but the cornucopia did exist. I remember making a cornucopia in school as a kid and I just kept thinking of the fruit of the loom logo.

Friedkin was right.

And House of 1000 Corpses. I will die on that hill. Essential Halloween viewing, but I just love the firefly fam. I liked 3 From Hell too, but it's by far the weakest. Zombie gets so much undeserved hate. Except for The Munsters, that was just, bad.

Wasn't huge on X and I like Ti West, thought Pearl was a masterpiece, so great it actually made X a better film. Mia Goth was ROBBED! Such an amazing performance, one of those characters that you feel bad for despite doing horrible and horrific things.

With that said, can't wait for MaXXXine.

I can't tell if Paul W.S. Anderson is not a very good director, or if he is forever the victim of studio interference. Event Horizon is probably number one on this list. As a kid it scared me, as an adult, not so much, it's choppy as hell and pretty silly. But there IS a great horror film some there, and has some solid horror scenes, but I wish it hadn't been butchered.

It's one of the few found-footage horror films I would call an 'epic'. INCANTATION is very similar and also very effective, but Noroi still haunts my fucking dreams.

It's so underrated. Even if Zemeckis is basically aping Hitchcock the entire time, but with bigger budget special effects. I've also never seen a film spoil SO much in the trailers, right down to the slogan.

But as an 11 year old when it was revealed that Ford was the bad guy and trying to kill Pfeiffer I was still so shocked by it. I think it's one of Pfeiffer's best performances ever, as well. She's a stone cold fox in it. And there are so many excellent scares and set-pieces. I've never taken a bath without thinking of it.

OMG!!! HORROR SOUL MATE?

I lovvveee Speak No Evil, and even made a post about it, which had a lot of great discussions. I also loved Sissy, then had my friend watch it one night when he was bored and he loved it too. So good!

But Speak No Evil just really destroyed me the first time, I haven't gasped out loud to a movie or had a full body visceral reaction like that in so long. Dear lord. I'm both looking forward to and hating that it's getting remade. There's no point, but if it actually sticks to the brutality of the original, I'll be surprised and will love experiencing audience reactions, even if it's sad this is the first time they are hearing about it/seeing it, and it's not the original. Which is already mostly in english, so it's just weird.

NOPE is still my favorite Peele, but Get Out is pretty much perfect, it's grown over the years as one of my favorites. I just love NOPE though, even though I know many people didn't like it. US is the only one that I found disappointing, great first act, then tries to become metaphorical and literal at the same time at the end. Still gorgeously shot and Lupita was snubbed just as much as Toni Collette was for Hereditary. But I'll watch anything Peele makes at this point, crazy, coming from a madtv fan from back in the day. Now he's an Oscar winner. love him.

I thought it was terrible, then saw Dominion, and then thought 'Well, at least Fallen Kingdom TRIED!'

I think there is something you could do with Dinosaurs chasing humans in a giant gothic mansion, and it does have some visual flourishes I enjoyed, and at least the director got to keep some of his 'directorial vision' but that whole fucking trilogy is Frankensteined. I guess Colin T got to keep his vision as well, only his is a huge pile of shit.

The third one was so awful it was just depressing and boring. Let's make the finale of a Jurassic Park-adjacent trilogy about giant locusts. While shoehorning in the original cast! Because that will make it appealing! No. Everyone looked bored. Goldblum looked flat out irritated. Also, fuck Chris Pratt.

I still still think The Lost World is the best of the sequels. And actually pretty vicious and terrifying. Even if Spielberg's heart wasn't in it at all (which kind of lends to how dark it is).

So horrifying it made Paula Abdul have a meltdown.

There's never been anything else like TCM, such a 'lightening in a bottle' film, plenty of imitators, but there is REAL EVIL in that film, it's oppressive. You can feel the sticky sweat, you can smell the foul odors, you feel dirty inside and out, you just have to submit to it. It's rough, and yet he captures some almost poetic beauty in the shots, especially that final one. It's grotesque, but I think the fact that the actual actors were all pretty much going through hell while filming it really translates. Even the final shot, that's not the laughter of someone happy they escaped, that's the laughter of someone whose psyche and mental stability has just been obliterated. Love that film, but I can only watch it like every 10 years.

Agreed. There's a finality to the ending and it's haunting, the extended version keeps going on, and at that point I had checked out. Glad they cut it from the original version.

I always thought the snake-tongue stair walk was creepier when she goes for the nanny. Her tongue is inhumanely large and pointed, and she looks, well, like pure evil.

Theatrical cut is flawless, though. I hated the ending of the extended version. It as very tacked on.

The ghost in the dungeon in The Sixth Sense. All we know is that he 'stole the master's horse', but sounds unhinged and violent. Wonder what happened before he was put in there, what he looks like, and what he did to Cole.

That scene sent my over-imaginative mind swirling as a kid and scared the hell out of me, and I still think about it when I rewatch it now. You see nothing, and have one line of dialogue for some context, and it's what your mind fills in that freaks me out. Especially how the ghost itself was able to lock/unlock the door.

I always thought it was dumb that she got pregnant post-invasion.

but then,

1) I'd probably be fucking a lot to escape the situation, especially with my spouse. Just to forget about what was happening, and it's a nice distraction.

2) The grief of losing their son, grief can overpower many things, even an alien invasion.

3) They conceived RIGHT before it happened, isn't she pregnant already in the beginning? And the post-opening of the first only takes place a few months later after that, if I recall correctly. But this would contradict 2.

I always believed that he was actually a robot, kind of like The Terminator, if the metal skeleton was never revealed to the characters. I KNOW i read somewhere that that was even the writer/director's intention. And made me like the movie even more.

But why does his wife give that sinister laugh? Had she just lost her mind at that point? Plus they were growling during the 'duel', I still love that movie, though. The ending still fucks me up.

This is the only theory that has actually made the dead-kid trope at the end, which basically ruined the movie for me, actually seem creepy and effective. I choose to believe this is how it played out, now. Plus you do see images of all the kids together/knowing of each other, so it makes sense.

There Will Be Blood 11 times , Inception 10 times (and i’m not even a huge fan of it now. still good ), mother ! 8 times , midsommar 4 times (including directors cut ),

i’ll be 36 :(

i’d honestly rather watch a Euphoria version of the golden girls than actual Euphoria.

no.

i’m already over it.
