HISTORY OF THE OCCULT was fucking awesome. Many favorite things, done in an innovative & imaginative way- w a truly satisfying conclusion in the best/worst way that keeps you thinking once it's over. Highly recommend if you want to watch a thoughtful, well made cosmic political horror film (you do!)
📽️ I discovered earlier that HISTORY OF THE OCCULT is available on #Kanopy, so I guess tonight's movie is settled.
(It's also on #Tubi for those of you who don't have Kanopy, but if you have a library card in the U.S., I beseech you to check and see if you can access their amazing library of #films.)
TL;DR: #Shudder will be getting an ad- supported tier. If they offer this as a cheaper alternative, ok, but if #AMC+ eventually pushes this on current subscribers unless they pay more a la #Amazon, I'm out.
We already have an ad supported horror channel; it's called #TUBI.
Just watched FINAL PRAYER aka THE BORDERLANDS (2013) for the first time and holy hell. How did I never see this movie before?? Found footage, haunted churches, pagan rituals, folk horror, cosmic dread... This movie has it all.
Exactly the type of movie I love and that consistent, deliberate ramp up at the end leads to such a great WTF moment... Loved it. It's on Tubi. Go watch it.
