The Horror Thread: Part 3D • Page 14

actually pretty decent. script was definitely your standard Lights Out/Conjuringcore but creature design and acting lifted it up a bit. Sophie Thatcher and David Dastalmachian elevate everything they show up in

 

Don't really think (?) it's horror but local bar movie club is showing Jawbreaker tonight. A first time watch for me.

 

The music in the 28 series rules, what the heck?

 

Didn't realize this was the guy that did Host and Dashcam, definitely makes me interested.

We had a downpour the other night and I wanted to match the vibe, so I did The Fog. And vibes were definitely matched.

 

I want to watch Bring Her Back so bad tonight, but I do not want to spend $20 to rent it lol

 

a character from Host actually makes a quick cameo which I thought was cool. so quick I had to google it to make sure which is when I realised it was the same director

haven't seen Dashcam, is that the one with the lady who was on Pink Cellphone by Deftones? I've heard rumours lol

 

It is lol. She is an insane person. She pretty much plays a caricature of herself in the movie as I believe she is an anti-vax nutjob irl, and it's pretty insufferable, but also weirdly intriguing enough that I've been interested in rewatching? I think it's worth the watch regardless even if it's frustrating or uncomfortable to engage with just because her character is very clearly not sympathetic lol.

 

i think it's weird in the context of the film and it takes me out of it

 

I do like horror about absolutely insufferable people (shoutout Deadstream) so maybe I'll give it a whirl

 

Really love the 28 Days/Years music, that Godspeed! track is an all-timer and all of the triumphant stuff in Years adds so much dissonance when paired with what's actually happening on screen. Really ingenious and effective stuff imo

 

Agreed ^
Also, Young Fathers absolutely rule. Some of the music in Years reminded me of Jaws in a weird way. Not comparatively speaking to what John Williams did there, but that clash between some of the music seeming more upbeat against what is happening onscreen. That intended dissonance is clearly well thought out and effective, I agree.

 

I also think that everything reminds me of Jaws this time of year

 

Young Fathers are some of the best doing it rn

 

random 2am thought but man I wish Donald Sutherland had done more horror. absolutely goated in Don't Look Now and Body Snatchers and he... certainly showed up in Buffy lol, just a shame he didn't stick around in the genre after that. RIP king

 

it’s been too long since I’ve seen 28 Days so I don’t remember the score but yeah I also absolutely loved the juxtaposition of the music in Years with what was actually happening.

i’m really dying to rewatch this

 

this shit goes crazy. my friends and I used to throw it on while playing hide and seek/ghost in the graveyard in middle school lol

 

love seeing the Young Fathers love here. Dead was an album that changed my life the first time i heard it, and i'm glad they've continued working with Danny Boyle (after providing a lot of music for the Trainspotting sequel).

 

okay so Jawbreaker ruled

 

Damnnn might have to rewatch Return of the Living Dead tonight

 

The "boots" song with the Rudyard Kipling poem in that scene from 28 Years Later shook me to my core. Amazing piece of editing.

 

I think my top three is still Companion, 28 Years Later, and Sinners, but Bring Her Back definitely slides in the #4 or #5 spot. I like Talk to Me, but I think this one is even better. Definitely dark though, even if the ending is somewhat optimistic.

Poor Andy.

 

we have almost the same top 4! can't remember the last time that ever happened lmao
