Demonwarp was not as wild as I’d hoped. Dumb and fun but it felt like it was made by a normal person not an insane person
Anyone else enjoy ENYS MEN? It mostly flew under the radar, but give the trailer a shot. If you wanted SKINAMARINK to be a little more LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD... this scratches that itch (personally loved it.)
Loved Backrooms. Pretty shocked. Went in figuring I would enjoy it but guarded because of the Redditness of it all (I've only seen the original short) and it really, really exceeded my expectations. Like a mix of Blair Witch Project, Annihilation, and Being John Malkovich. Our theater was full of (mostly) children and I cannot imagine what they thought of it compared to, like Five Nights at Freddy's lmao. Great, well-behaved crowd though. Probably tied with Obsession for my favorite of the year so far.
It’s one that gets better each viewing, it’s so good at whatever it’s doing You should add the Ugly Stepsister, Frankie Freako, Stop Motion, Deadstream, and the Rebecca Hall Resurrection to your list if you haven’t seen tjose
sorry in advance lmao. Spo Picks that I donn't see you rating on Letterboxd (I'm sure you've seen some of these): Black Phone 2 Weapons (and Barbarian) 28 Years Later (and The Bone Temple) Maxxxine (and Pearl) The Substance Late Night with the Devil Bodies Bodies Bodies NOPE Deadstream V/H/S/94 Censor Ready or Not Midsommar The Void Green Room They Look Like People It Follows You're Next Father's Day The Loved Ones The House of the Devil Trick 'r Treat (and Krampus) Slither Other standouts that may or may not be your vibe: The Shrouds Nosferatu Companion Heretic Cuckoo Infinity Pool (and Possessor) Mandy Stuff that no one but me liked: Trap Tusk As for what you posted: first couple of Conjurings and first Insidious are fun enough. Evil Dead 2013 and Rise are a hoot. I don't have great confidence that you'll love Skinamarink lol but I'd love to be wrong. Hopefully you find some good shit in here.
haha you sure you aren’t missing my ratings? Black Phone 2 - added Weapons (and Barbarian) - saw and loved 28 Years Later (and The Bone Temple) - already added Maxxxine (and Pearl) - saw and loved Pearl. Maxxxine was ok The Substance - eh Late Night with the Devil - curious Bodies Bodies Bodies - hated NOPE - good Deadstream - very fun V/H/S/94 - maybe saw? Censor - added Ready or Not - fun! Midsommar - loved The Void - added Green Room - enjoyed They Look Like People - added It Follows - one of my favorites You're Next - great Father's Day - added The Loved Ones - fun! The House of the Devil - great one Trick 'r Treat (and Krampus) - love TrT, need to see Krampus Slither - fun The Shrouds - started but didn’t finish Nosferatu - fine Companion - added Heretic - added Cuckoo - added Infinity Pool (and Possessor) - added Mandy - love Trap - enjoyed a lot Tusk - added
Def may have missed some of them when skimming, not sure, but glad you found some to add anyways! Forgot to mention - Longlegs kind of stinks and I don't think you'll like it, but I'll be curious to hear your thoughts.
The stool scene in Titane is one of my favorites in any horror movie, and then the rest takes such a drastic turn in an already weird movie. Just a good time.
