ok lets all shit our pants to something new: post 2005 horror film thread

Huh, I liked Rare Exports a lot. Not really horror, per se, so much as a fun lark.

i was fine with the doctor in pontypool what i couldnt stand was the wet blanket radio producer character, she was just awful

it is pretty great that they made a canadian film where english is the enemy and they have to speak french to survive, i relished that

Ok so if you haven't seen "kill list" yet, stop wasting time and go find it right now. Just watched it, best horror film of 2011, bar none.

I reserve the right to call myself an idiot tomorrow after I actually go through the list of 2011 horror films, but holy shit, close to perfect.

:}

that's supposed to be a :) at the previous comment. must learn to concentrate.

I liked about half of Kill List, but hated the whole Wicker Man sub-plot. Would quite happily have watched a full-length film of just the hitman plot.

Wicker Man subplot was totally lame. Like, well made, well filmed, but lame. Mentioned above, maybe, but Kill List was like Wicker Man + A Serbian Film, some dark unpleasantness in service of ... nada. Surprised Pontypool could be your boogeyman but this one gets a total pass.

kill list is good

It is good, or at least worth seeing. But as much as I appreciate the complete left turn it takes at the end, I can't fully support it.

I hear Wicker Man subplot and I hope, but this movie sounds terrible.

It's not 100% successful but it's not terrible. It doesn't really go into enough detail with the subplot for it not to feel a bit tacked-on and it's not explained in a totally satisfactory way but it's an ok film.

I know a lot more people who have more trouble with the accents than with the ending, tbh.

I was wondering how many people would have to play it with subtitles.

re kill list: i think i made the "wicker man + a serbian film" comparison upthread, and yeah. kind of dug the hitman stuff, was halfway on board with the turn to paranoid folk horror, but the ASF element killed it dead for me. wound up disappointed.

i think i made the "wicker man + a serbian film" comparison upthread

uh, just checked, and no i didn't. some other board, i guess. anyway, josh in chicago otm.

i dug the turn. i love movies that change genres unexpectedly.

yeah it sounds way up my alley. Totes gonna watch.

hey so instead of the 2012 fast poll i talked about, here's what i did, would appreciate it if peeps participated: 2011 Horror Flash Poll nominations thread

The Corridor (on nf streaming) made me really happy. Imagine if someone forgot everything about Dreamcatcher except the general vibe and then made an excellent little indie horror based on those incorrect memories. I passed this by while browsing dozens of times.

Is Jonesy in it

Kind of!

no shitweasels tho

Jonesy!

SSDD

2010 Horror Flash Poll nominations because hey, I am bored at work

V/H/S? more like total/fucking/garbage

i saw that went up on streaming. You're the third or fourth person i've heard to dislike it.

it is like 90% terrible, the only part i liked somewhat was the joe swanberg segment

About watch the wicker tree thx to 2011 poll, followed by 388 arletta ave

Uh is this supposed to be a comedy

Sorry in advance LL

Holy crap this might be amazing if this is intentional.

I don't wven

Bahaha cat what the shit

Ok somewhere around 45 minutes this turned from laughably terrible to totally amazing

I mean in many ways it is still terrible but it's just odd enough that I am totally sold

And now it is just terrible again?

Aaaaarrerrgggh, just finished. Infuriating movie. When it finds its step, it's great, but it spends most of its time being fucking inexcusably bad.

Yeah it's not great but as I mentioned, there is a lot of natural-seeming nudity (as opposed to contrived nudity) and that has to count for something?

388 arletta ave really didnt do it for me either. ive got the hammer horror doc coming, so that should tide me over for a bit i suppose. also watched the corridor, and mostly liked it but was not blown away. good actors, looked great, kinda eh on the plot.

aw well I'm glad you watched it. It really struck a chord with me.

(corridor, not 388 arletta)

Ok why didn't anyone tell me that The Oregonian
* was (yet another) tumblr photo shoot (at least this one had interesting sound design?)
* was super boring
* had no plot

Was this some kind of student film?? I swore while we were watching it that the person who made it could not have possibly been over 30. After about 25 min we switched (wisely, I think) to Slumber Party Massacre.

If it got better after that point, I apologize. I did lol at the smiling old woman in the red cape.

ive got the hammer horror doc coming

jjj, what's this?

someone tried, La Lechera.

Signs along the road I should have followed, I guess. I just want to know if there was a reason the blood on her face kept changing patterns. Was that just a bunch of continuity errors or was it on purpose? It was the only variable to pay attention to because everything else was same same same same stumble stumble swig swig smoke smoke scream scream zzzzzzzzzzzz

Re: wards question

Ahh ok jjj, thanks, thought it was a new doc. Have seen the one you linked to - it was originally shown on BBC TV - and I have to warn you that it's p poor, just at a technical level, ie v v amateurishly shot on video footage. Poor old Peter Cushing looks extremely ill and frail throughout, and he died hot long afterwards, tho' it is of course p touching to see him and Christopher Lee together for the last time.

Personally I'm really excited abt the forthcoming Blu-Ray release of the first Hammer Dracula which contains the mythical 'strong' Japanese cut of the movie - long considered THE holy grail for Hammeristas.

Sorry to step back into the past on a post 2005 thread, tho.

You forgot piss piss
