The Horror Thread: Part 3D • Page 78

Excited to see Glen Powell play Leatherface

 

Nah put Glen in the wheelchair

 

kinda looks like a young grandpa here

 

I unfortunately very much disliked the haunted pancake movie.

 

The pancake movie was quite bad and got messier instead of better. The cute little pancake monsters are barely in it, but if you like b-movies it is a modern b-movie for sure.

 

What was your final verdict?

 

Whoa.. how is Weapons not gonna be my FOTY? I had a hard feeling that it’d be about either aliens or witchcraft. I’m so pleased with this. Huge rewatch factor. I can’t wait to introduce this to family and friends.

 

Continuing my older monster movies, tonight’s film is Monster on the Campus. The movie borrows a lot from other projects, but Jack Arnold knows how to make a fun creature feature.

 

Wife went to bed midway through weapons so I am doing my first Gore-Us, Ogroff!

 

Weapons is my #1 but could be beaten by One Battle

 

Lol I am 5 minutes into Ogroff (on youtube!) and this is objectively, unironically, art. The one shot was like the photonegative ending of tcm and the score is absolutely insane so far. Electronic fuzz. This rocks

 

Anyone see Traumatika yet?

 

Ogroff spoilers…I guess?

This is like if a french weirdo took only the table scene from TCM and made it the entire movie.
Ogroff just cut a lady’s tongue off, threw it to a dog (who is being held on a leash by someone offscreen) and then cut her kid’s head off over a stump of wood. I am 15 minutes in

 

Weapons is top five for sure.

Weapons/Together and Sinners/28 Years Later can be flipped depending on the day

only horror i've seen since that post is Toxic Avenger. while i enjoyed it, i'd put it below M3GAN 2.0. not sure if it kicks Until Dawn out of my top ten tho

i'm trying to think of what i'm looking forward to for the rest of the year and drawing a blank. Him, Keeper... what else?

 

The first half of Weapons that I’ve seen is better than any other horror ive seen this year. I hope it sticks the landing

 

Eephus is my film of the year, followed by Eddington

 

OH. Good Boy. fuckin Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. I guess Black Phone 2. weird that that one's getting a sequel.

 

i think it does stick the landing. i'm surprised you'd put it above Sinners and 28 Years Later, tho. at least Bring Her Back was a bit more divisive iirc

oh sorry forgot

 

Lol oh wow okay this one might be different. The worst I’ve seen would be the Orozco the Embalmer level. I assume anything lower is like cctv murders and shit. I still don’t think there’s officially “snuff” on the internet, outside of the don’t fuck with cats guy and the more recent vietnamese murder

 

Yeah a little googling tells me the “snuff73” film at the bottom is a mixtape of kids dying in the syrian war. Clearly psycho shit made by people who should go to jail forever

 

dude that's nuts. i don't dare watch anything Martyrs/Terrifier level, let alone three tiers below it. Orozco does not sound like a good time

 

Never watched the full thing, just bits and pieces of that and Junk Films and Rare. They are real death “films” which are inherently exploitative, but there is a certain level of objectivity or respect (if you could call it that?) for the dead that Faces/Traces of Death does not have. The experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage has a similar film that places an objective lens on an autopsy

 

Murderdrone rocks. I think it might require you to be a little drunk or overtired or fuzzy yourself, but if you catch the wave it is an incredible ride. I would urge anyone trying their first Murderdrone flick to definitely be in the right headspace or it will not work lol.

I also object to “Scary Movie” 1991 fitting the MD label even if it is on the original list. Terrific film, great for Halloween and a total vibe, but i don’t think it is the same tone as Ogroff or Lunch Meat. Sledgehammer is closer to the vibe

 

catching The Long Walk tonight, one of the only Kings I haven't read before so goin in fresh
