Solid lineup there. Might finish the 31 days of horror with The Gates Of Hell trilogy myself.

Good call. I'm thinking of a Fulci double for my birthday: Zombi 2 and The Beyond. Four of the Apocalypse is on Prime. I might throw that in the mix for a change of pace.

Watched some more horror over the weekend:
X
Pearl
Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge
Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich

I second going in blind for The Substance and I'm so glad I did!

Absolutely deadly film that just gets progressively more absurd as it goes on. The last 30 minutes or so are amazing.

It's been a long while since I've pointed at the tv in utter wtf-ness whilst laughing my arse off at it all. ;D

Plex is another good spot for old horror too. Couple of Video Nasties on it the last time I checked.


Creepshow (1982) :  Good

Creepshow 2 (1987): Just Ok

Gave Speak No Evil a watch the other night. Pretty good now, although it kind of feels familiar. James McAvoy is some actor to be fair. Great performance

It's a remake of a Danish film that came out a couple of years back, the original was great, might give the new one a go but I can't imagine a US remake would be as dark.

Been racking up the horrors in the run up to Halloween:

Evil Dead 1-3
Demons
Demon Wind
Re-Animator
Fright Night
Brain Damage


Will definitely squeeze in a bunch more over the next week, but I usually save Night of the Demons for the night itself since it's set on Halloween.

Just watched Smile, what a pile of shit. Should have called it Telegraphed Jump Scares.

Ticked off a few from this year last few days

Oddity and substance. Both worth the hype.

Had a rewatch of Dead Man's Shoes last night to see if it was as good as I remembered. It was.

Downfall (somehow I'd never gotten around to this one and now it's already 20 years old! Sehr gut.)

King Lear (Olivier, Hurt, Rigg, great production of it on YouTube, though abridged... where's Branagh with the unabridged cinematic adaptation!?)

The 2013 Evil Dead remake. I remember really enjoying this one in the cinema but I was pretty underwhelmed this time around. I think once you take out the shock value out of a couple of the violent scenes from the first time around then you're not left with much of a film. It's not a patch on the original.

Completed the one-two of major WWII movies I'd never gotten around to with Schindler's List last night. A pretty interesting moment in time to be watching it for the first time, both historically/geopolitically and cinematically (namely, seeing it after Zone of Interest but also after being long familiar with Haneke's negative comments about it). Anyway, I'm all caught up on WWII cinema now, 20 years and 30 years later, respectively!

Watched The Killing of a Sacred Deer the other night, I get there's a lot of symbolism and hidden meaning going on, but I won't lie that the ending still pissed me off  :laugh:.

Myself and herself watched it the other night and were both blown away, film of the year for me. Fucking brilliant, riotous shit. Highly, highly enjoyable.

other recents:
Pater Noster and the Mission of Light (great fun, a grindhouse style horror about record collectors and cults)
Cemetary Man (the annual rewatch, one of my favourite films ever)
Alien Romulus (yeah, it was grand)
