The Horror Thread: Part 3D • Page 127

yeah I enjoyed They Live so much more this time around, easily one of Carpenter's best. the last line is absolutely insane lmao

also watched The Fog today and man that movie. there's literally 2 minutes of plot and the rest is just vibes but goddamn the vibes are good. makes me want to buy a lighthouse in a coastal town

 

They Live is an all timer. Roddy Piper is perfect in it.

 

'Gremlins 3' Joins Warner Bros. 2027 Slate, With Chris Columbus And Steven Spielberg Returning

 

I want to believe it will be good

 

Someone posted about it on Reddit, added to my list based on good word of mouth but haven’t seen it yet

 

@Aaron Mook haven’t seen those ones so can’t comment but did you like Harvest Brood?

 

I did!! Very cool, weirdly cozy and also gross lol. I should check out some of that guy's other work.

 

GREMLINS 3 LFGGGGGGGGG

PRACTICAL CREATURES OR BUST

 

Black Phone 2 was mostly good. I loved the lore and the acting, but there were so many moments that took me out of the movie

 

Saw Bugonia last night and hot damn I loved it. absolutely speaking out of recency bias right now but that may be one of my favorites this year

 

Likely catching that tomorrow

 

There Are Monsters really impressed me. Good movie, great for what they pulled off with that budget.

 

Halfway through Black Phone 2. Just sharing some thoughts as I go..

Like.. what movie am I watching right now? Absolutely digging the talent and the winter vibes, but it feels like I’m watching way too many ideas play out at one time. I’m hoping it ties together.. but ultimately, what do I know?

 

Watching Twisted Issues

 

Beautiful flick, man. Loved this so much. SOV Slacker + Slasher + Araki. This is one of those “that’s why I love movies” movies. I wish I could justify teaching this. I think I’d never stop talking about it if I saw it as a teenager

 

Yeah, Twisted Issues is some great shit. I have a podcast episode coming out about that one soon.

 

The Bird With the Crystal Plumage has an excellent first half-hour and last 15 minutes, but I feel like the midsection really drags, which is honestly how I've felt about a lot of Giallo despite generally enjoying the vibe.

Enjoying Blood and Black Lace so far.

 

giallo has never really been something i enjoyed much.

 

Did not realize how many typos there were in my original post, lol. Should be legible now.

 

Has anyone in here seen Abruptio?

 

Yep. Feels like A Scanner Darkly by way of Adult Swim. Definitely a little faux-deep, but also really unique and unsettling use of the medium.

 

Yeah, I nearly turned it off halfway through...which is not something I normally do. I stuck it out, but did not like it.
