The Horror Thread 2U • Page 352

Have to finish it today, about half an hour left. it's okay. Fun, hard for me to dislike a movie like this, but def a step down from the first so far. Still enjoying it for what it is!

 

More or less how I feel about it

 

Never seen Black Christmas or Krampus. I’m feeling a double feature today since the ice storm cancelled most of my work holiday today!

 

Perfect double feature for the weather!

I have today off and undecided what I want to watch.

 

Video Violence 2 is wild haha

 

It's so good lol one of my favorites. The pizza delivery scene is insane.

 

The last segment was really bad lol just really uneven unfortunately. Fun, but weaker than most anthologies.

 

So good

 

Yeah, just kinda weird to do a Saw spoof in the year 2022

barbarian

not good at all:
the invitation
prey for the devil

still need to see:
resurrection
watcher

best horror movie from the past i saw for the first time this year:
the shout (1978)

horror/horror-adjacent director i grew increasingly obsessed with over the year:
shinya tsukamoto (tetsuo the iron man, kotoko)

 

Black Christmas was fantastic. The phone calls are insanely creepy and movie was definitely ahead of its time. Will be an annual Christmas time watch.

 

Mad God was beautiful, I don’t think I counted it as this year but it’s a freak show worth watching

 

Mad God has so much grotesque brilliance in it. Such a treat for fans of stop motion. The live action bits really took me out of it though and knocked it down on my list. Wish they could’ve found a way to make the whole movie stop motion animated.

 

Yule Log was really fun! Loved the first scene inside the fire place without spoiling anything. A lot of bizarre choices.

 

as a fan of tetsuo, alice, etc. live-action and stop motion interacting is basically the creepiest and coolest effect. when the doctor appeared in mad god i was like… oh, this movie is special and is going to keep pulling the rug from under me. and it did

 

i mean it was already special for starting off as a stop-motion dante’s inferno with shitting monsters and exploding automatons but i think it’s wonderful that it pivots into both more perverse and cosmic territory

 

For those that have seen Yule Log, does it ever leave that perspective?

 

Yes, I’d say only about 1/3rd of the film is in that faux one shot style

 

Watching Christmas Bloody Christmas right now. It's actually a lot of fun. Think I'm going to follow it up with Violent Night.

 

Did F13: The Final Chapter tonight. A cozy movie for a cozy holiday.. Merry Christmas, y'all.

 

Can't get any cozier than that

 

Yule Log is rad

 

Having a bit of a rough night. Favorite feel-good horror movies?
