I can’t for the next one that suggests that Jigsaw never died

 

Tonight's Gore-us pick was a cryptid film I grew up with and one we were fortunate enough to show on the big screen, Mark Pellington's The Mothman Prophecies. If you haven't seen it, I would absolutely implore you to find it. Super stylish and thoughtful meditation on how we try to connect potentially unrelated events to find meaning. Tone is very X-Files. I adore this film.

 

Watched VHS 85, it was fine! Very gun heavy for the 80’s and a movie like this

 

Totally Killer was a decent time. I wish it didn’t spend like 75% of the movie repeating the “wow! things were in different in 1987!” joke but hey, the parts that weren’t that were pretty fun and spread evenly throughout

 

This one has always been so underrated, belongs up there with Paranorman and Coraline but never gets the shine

 

Best werewolf film? I can’t decide between Dog Soldiers and American Werewolf in London

 

Super Dark Times

Stoked to see Skinamarink up there, but man, Infinity Pool and Beau Is Afraid have been two of the most frustrating viewing experiences I’ve had all year.

 

Ha, I'm the opposite. Beau and Infinity Pool are two of the years best and I struggled to make it through Skinamarink.

 

you couldn’t pay me enough to watch Beau but love the other two

 

The Gate!

 

Watched Skinamarink last night, I wanted to like it more/as much as others. My friend absolutely loathed it and found it incredibly uncomfortable to get through; she thought it would never end, haha.

 

Skinamarink and Beau are perfect, but Beau is a comedy imo. Infinity Pool is very good, but not as good as Possessor.

 

Ahh I forgot all about this movie! I used to love it!

 

I am wondering how I’ll react to Beau as someone who has anxiety.

 

it will probably be relatable lol.

 

Loved Infinity Pool, hated Skinamarink, never saw Beau

Talk To Me is my favorite of the year and I liked seeing Influencer up there!

 

@SpyKi is right lol

it's weirdly validating watching a movie where everything you think will go wrong, does lol

 

Despite its director being a piece of shit, it's probably still American Werewolf in London. Dog Soldiers is really dope though, I watched that for the first time last year and loved it. Silver Bullet and The Howling are way up there for me.

2023 has been a mid year for horror compared to the start of this decade

dont @ me

 

Macon Blair’s Toxic Avenger is gonna put 2023 on the books


edit: why did i say on the books haha i meant on the map. i’m the idiot mixing up “one for the books” and “on the map”

 

2023 definitely could've used a Malignant or Barbarian to set it off. There's been a lot of decent stuff, but not the feasts we've had the last few years.

 

One of my favorites
