Horror films

Memory says he produced and had a lot of input, but has always been clear that he didn't direct.

Dug out an old favourite for the next week.

In order of preference: 4, 1, 3, 2

Watched The Monster Squad last night, the wife and I's first time.
I enjoyed it for what it is was (1980s early teen comedy horror), once you get over the initial homophobia and F-bombs in the opening 5 minutes.

I don't think I've seen that since it came out on video! Prime/Netflix?

What sort of thing are you after? Mandy and Possessor are two modern horror films I've really, really enjoyed recently.

"purchased" as I couldn't find a streaming platform with it, unfortunately.

once you get over the initial homophobia

Tried to watch recently with my partner and i was all "i used to love this film, it's great". We bailed after 5 minutes.

I don't remember it coming back outside of the opening few minutes, but they "homo" and "faggot" a lot in that one scene. It is quite jarring (waits to be added to a "snowflake" list)

80s movies seem to be rife with homophobia, much more than I really remember.

Inspired by a recent We Hate Movies, I've dug out a Halloween H20.
I've always had a bit of a soft spot for this film.
It is drek but entertaining drek.

Have OG Blair Witch Project lined up for tomorrow, and the 2016 Blair Witch movie for a double bill.

Mandy was quite fun. Will see if I can get possessor

Blair witch 3 I should find that. But 2 was so bad

Beyond The Black Rainbow, Panos Cosmatos' first film is worth a watch as well if you enjoyed Mandy. It's a bit less narrative driven with more of the intense psychedelic stuff that Mandy has. It looks amazing as well!

Blair Witch - Book of Shit.

I rewatched a few years ago, it was worse than I remembered.
Well worth ignoring.

Is 2016 a 3rd instalment or a rehash? I know nothing about it

I assumed it was a remake of the OG film?

Halloween horror binge not going too well so far.

Creep 2, creepy, well acted, not scary.
His house, poignant, well acted, not scary.
Halloween 4, i feel sad for the 10 year old me that clung onto this in the video store begging for my mum to let me watch it. If only i could go back and tell myself it's shit and actually Benji the hunted is the better option and actually a bit more scary.

watched IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1994) this weekend... seems kinda underrated in the carpenter filmography imo. very odd and unsettling vibe throughout. can see the influence on ari aster

Excellent film IMO, lots of Stephen King references, and a Quatermass and the Pit reference too.
This church just seems bizarre.

I've not seen that in years, is it streaming?

The only copy I even found was a US DVD, and I have not the ability to play it now.

sadly not

C.H.U.D

Way better than it deserves to be and a surprisingly well qualified cast, at least by early 80's standards.

from RT:

If Woody Allen's Manhattan was a cinematic love song to New York, then surely C.H.U.D. is its hate song

Re-Animator (1985) - Not watched it for years and still rather good.

Malignant on hbo max - well that was ludicrous fun
