Date: September 20th, 2024 7:40 PM Author: avocado crotch new version Subject: The Blob (1988) Comes off as what critics said about Carpenter's remake of The Thing--a slick, nihilistic splatterfest. The splatter is good, though. Really good, almost subversively good. Otherwise, it just seems like a bit of sneering meanness.

Date: September 21st, 2024 6:28 AM Author: avocado crotch new version Subject: Nosferatu (1922) Believe it or not, I'd never gotten around to seeing this. And it's hard to evaluate because it mostly doesn't do a lot by the standards of today, even though some of the imagery is rightfully striking and iconic, like the woman waiting at the beaches, or Graf Orlok stalking around the boat.

Date: September 21st, 2024 7:38 AM Author: avocado crotch new version Subject: Sooo CR Summer Capsule Reviews * Sweet 16 (1983): Wanted to see this obscure slasher for a while. Beginning and ending are slasher excellence; the rest of the movie is more of a TV film but it's still entertaining.
* Death Metal Zombies: Enjoyably stupid SOV film from the 90s SOV wave. This one actually kind of works as a legitimate horror movie, has a good death metal soundtrack, and is very, very endearing.
* Torture Dungeon: My first real foray into the twisted world of Andy Milligan. A lot of fun and the heroine is hot and can't keep her clothes on.
* All About Evil: Weirdo queer/camp horror movie with Natasha Lyonne that's an homage to the low budget gore comedies of 1960s and 1970s of HG Lewis, Andy Milligan, and John Waters. |

Date: September 21st, 2024 9:41 PM Author: avocado crotch new version In A Violent Nature: I've been looking forward to to this for a while and it's just sort of. . .weird. It seems to be doing two or three different revisionist takes on the slasher movie at a time, and all of them are conceptually interesting, but they're all sort of mashed together. I have no doubt there's a point to this, but I really don't get it. It's well done in a lot of ways but it's not very satisfying, and if that's a conscious choice, it's not conceptually rigorous enough to justify the way in which it's not satisfying.

Date: September 22nd, 2024 8:53 AM Author: gjr (No Future) the more i think about this movie, the more it annoys me
it kinda feels like a slasher movie 'funny games' except less rigorous, and funny games was always already intellectually bankrupt (if u actually think screen violence is bad the only way to win is not to play) |

Date: September 22nd, 2024 9:12 AM Author: gjr (No Future) haven't seen it and refuse to see either version for the precise reason that engaging with the film allows haneke to win
if funny games was simply a cruel provocation meant to be a nihilistic prank on an audience, i'd appreciate and in fact applaud it, but the fact that haneke apparently *believes* the message of his movie makes me violently hostile. No shit, people enjoy fake stylized violence and would find actual hyper-realistic violent scenarios in real life to be upsetting and unpleasaurable. Wow, guess you've cracked the code on fiction, Mikey! Now go make another unwatchable piece of shit like The White Ribbon! |

Date: September 25th, 2024 10:12 PM Author: gjr (No Future) Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973)
Exceptionally weird vampire (sorta) movie that's part of the 1970s/early 80s American regional independent horror boom. Part Night of the Hunter, part Suspiria. Weird story about an innocent, beautiful young girl who is a devout Christian who gets summoned to a strange town to see her fugitive mobster father, and gets involved with werewolves (who act more like zombies) and vampires.
This is a weird one, folks, and not one I can wholly recommend--it's much too accomplished and effective to be relegated to MST3K style trash, but it manages to be ponderous and confusing despite a quick run time, so I can't really recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant genre experience, even an offbeat one. That said, I'm glad I watched it, and I'll watch it again, I'm sure, but...it's strange. And God bless it. |

Date: September 28th, 2024 9:14 PM Author: gjr (No Future) Subject: Quatermass II (1957) I really enjoy Nigel Kneale's work and its distinctive blend of supernatural horror and rational science fiction; Quatermass and the Pit is one of the most 'me' movies of all time.
This isn't quite as good as that, but it's still extremely good and creepy, if a little bit slow at first. It plays out like an X-Files mytharc episode, with a tireless truthseeker running up against a malevolent extraterrestrial conspiracy that seems to have the support of the government. |

not a huge fan of the story.
thought the Minnie and Roman imitations were fantastic... except the behavior of Minnie was slightly off, and not in a good way.
