The Horror Thread: Part 3D • Page 13

dear lord no haha

 

choose which order i watch my next four films: 28YL, M3GAN2.0, The Materialists, Elio

 

Presence fucking ruled. Totally loved the found footage vibe and had me when intrigued throughout. I think it replaced Bring Her Back as my new number 1 so far this year.

 

That order

 

It would have been in my top 10 but I guess it’s technically a 2024 movie lol

 

pfffft okay

 

I haven't seen Materialists or Elio but I want to eventually

 

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie was really good and basically a '50s Sci-fi/Horror movie. I'm counting it.

 

It was certainly hornier than I was expecting

 

Vinegar Syndrome has another sale. This one also has a crazy "Going Out of Print" section, with some classics on there. If you've got $10-$20 to spend, I can't speak highly enough about the Rubén Galindo Jr. films Cemetery of Terror, Grave Robbers and Don't Panic. They're $10 each and worth every penny. Cemetery is a Halloween set slasher with a ton of great gore. Grave Robbers is basically a Mexican Friday the 13th. Don't Panic is my favorite, a Nightmare on Elm Street ripoff that gets nuts.

Finally got to see Bring Her Back and now that's my new number 1 for the year.

 

Yep, Bring Her Back will be hard to top this year

 

I'm hoping Together and Weapons come close

 

Trailers before 28YL

The Long Walk
Honey Don't
Weapons (new!)
The Roses (@imthegrimace's favorite/most anticipated)
Predator Badlands
The Black Phone 2 (new!)
The Naked Gun (new)
Caught Stealing
IKWYDLS (new!)

 

I'm shocked I haven't seen the IKWYDLS trailer once before any of the horror movies I've seen in the last month or so

 

I’m so friggin stoked for Badlands after doing Killer of Killers

 

Well unfortunately the Philippou brothers are 0/2 for me. Do I even like horror?

 

They aren’t for me either

 

i like both of them but i'm not gonna get upset or up in arms when others don't. not like with Flanagan (and even then i'm mostly joking)

 

28YL is easily my favorite of the franchise. it's nice to have Boyle back at the helm. i feel like with Days (and Men) Garland had some weird feminism stuff to work out (and with Civil War/Warfare, some weird war stuff to work out; i don't feel like watching those two). it's nice to have him back in the realm of sci-fi again. Alfie Williams, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes were good, Anya Taylor Joy Aaron Taylor-Johnson was just okay.
when a horror sequel comes out after over ten years (in this case, almost twenty?!) i expect some huge, grandiose thing. Final Destination Bloodlines certainly delivered in that regard, with some of the most creative kills and one of the best opening sequences in the franchise, and a great story to boot. Years, however, takes sort of an opposite approach. there aren't huge hordes, hardly any big gunfights. it's not even about the village, really, it's about a single family. the scope is so small, the atmosphere relatively quiet (aside from the weird needle drops--i never quite understood the music choice for this series). it's an intimate, character-driven romp through the country-side. the, uh, zombie-infested country-side. The birthing scene was weird as fuck if you think about it for too long, but Comer was so down to support her fellow woman, undead or not, and i think that's strangely beautiful. Fiennes is made out to be this strange and evil character but once we meet him he's really nice and his monument is, uh, quite ominous, yes, but also strangely beautiful. and i think him giving her a peaceful out in a world overcome with violence is, again, strangely beautiful. her son giving her skull the place of honor atop the monument and facing the sunrise was an unexpectedly bittersweet moment for a horror film. i maybe could've done without the kid from the opening bookending the film, but it's just another strange choice that adds to the charm of the franchise

 

needed something low-calorie to throw on so finally watching The Boogeyman
