i like the idea of a soul/possessor double feature; they have a lot in common!

Had this down as a 2019 film, otherwise would have thrown it a vote.
― Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 15 December 2021 18:27 (two years ago) link
Honestly, I judge the date of a film by what Wikipedia lists as the Release Date for wide U.S. release. Dunno if the yearly disconnect is UK/Canada posters or if its just "I go to film festivals" flexing or something else

For a fun and kind of schlocky B-movie aesthetic, Color Out of Space managed to be a deeply affecting meditation on almost unthinkable grief. I guess that's the source material too, but it was portrayed well. It's also camp and spectacular.

I sorted my icheckmovies list by release date and it’s down as 2019 there. I guess I could have looked more closely but just tossed off a ballot.
― Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 15 December 2021 18:46 (two years ago) link
Saw it at the start of 2020 with imago and one of his friends and we emerged kind of shellshocked, I thought!

It had a one-night-only US national cinema release in January 2020
― dark end of the st. maud (sic), Wednesday, 15 December 2021 18:49 (two years ago) link
It was not one-night-only
― licorice in the front, pizza in the rear (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 15 December 2021 18:51 (two years ago) link
Either way, it would have more of a claim to being a 2020 movie than Minari which was on VOD for a week in December before opening nationally on February 2021

I tried to be as rigorous as possible with release dates for my ballot but it’s always gonna be nebulous - anyway saw this during 2020 as part of regular lockdown movie night with my covid bubble & had a blast (bubblemate thought it was dumb)

COOS opened in more limited locations the following weekend iirc. They'd done one-night-only in Australia the first week of Jan, seemed to be a SpectreVision-level move to maximise the horror audience.
It's good that someone has taken on Morbs' mantle of screaming at people in the poll results that they voted wrong because they live in a different city.

(whiney is not screaming)
and now for a double feature of films named for community architecture, and how bureaucracy can grind against the interests of that community
