Damn, I ran through the Screams 1-4 over the past couple of days. Never gave any of the films much attention in years past, and I dug this round of watches. It’s potentially one of the only franchises I've ever seen that doesn't get worse, and that’s probably because of Craven and Williamson's involvement in each film, but wow, just wow.
Unfortunately, the poster was the best part of this movie. Lantern's Lane was full of dumb people doing dumb things for dumb reasons. #horrormovies@horror
Stole this image from someone who stole this image, and I'm stealing the question, too:
WHAT FILM MADE YOU GO 'WTF DID I JUST WATCH'?
Off the top of my head:
Mother! definitely. Also Society, The Outwaters, Final Prayer (aka The Borderlands), Dead Alive (aka Brain Dead), Skinamarink, The Human Centipede, Infinity Pool, Antichrist, Hausu, Secretary. And I love them all.
In today's wild movie news, Maggie Gyllenhaal is directing a remake of the 1935 classic Bride of Frankenstein, apparently? 🤯
It'll star Penelope Cruz as the bride, Christian Bale as Frankenstein and Peter Sarsgaard playing a detective? Looks like they're starting production on it this year. That's gonna be a must-see for me 😂
📽️ What's a horror movie that you feel is so: striking, unique, disturbing, profound, &/or beautiful that it transcends to the level of ART?
(Not for just a scene, or moments, or even a performance, but for the ENTIRE film.)
Four that immediately occurred to me:
The Shining
The Devils
The Wolf House
There Will Be Blood
I can think of more but I'm curious what YOU all think...
I have to go eat & do stuff but I'll be back on later to see what you all said!
📽️ Got my order of Shudder movies! 😍 I also got the Severin ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS box set because it was on sale and THE GUEST on Blu-ray since I adore it & upgraded my DVD. Final horror movie tally:
-ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS Box Set
-SKINAMARINK
-IMPETIGORE
-THE GUEST
-TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID
-MANDY
My #DiabolikDVD order came in today!
So happy- I got all of these at GREAT prices during their Clearance sale and I had none of them on Blu-ray. It's going to be whole new experiences watching them! 😍
Started thinking about physical media, ended up ordering a bunch of Shudder originals on DVD & Blu-ray 😂
Apparently the Internet is a dangerous place for me late at night
But at least I'm getting some badass movies!
