Board 8 > All Purpose Horror Topic 2018: I Swear This Won't Purge

(+) Yeah! (+)

going back to finish Unsane

turns out I was only like 20 minutes in
---

well now I'm unhappy

Man, Shudder channel is pretty cool. I watched Phenomena, which is pretty much Clock Tower: The Movie. That was delightful

Yeah Phenomena is great! Got a pretty unfortunate release here in the US under the title "Creepers". Definitely one of the biggest influences on the Clock Tower series, especially protagonist-wise.

I like Shudder a lot too, got two free months earlier this year and decided to subscribe fully.

Then I watched Sleepaway Camp, that was...just kind of sad and uncomfortable
---

Just watched Resolution

First thought was immediately that it seems like a very "Snake" movie (indie meta sci-fi/horror focused on two dudes with heavy dialogue, distinct concept, light on action, amateur-style footage)

That all being said, it is a really cool concept and I think I need to think more about it
---

Yeah, it's the kind of movie that will definitely keep creeping back into your thoughts over the next couple of days. At least it was for me anyway.
---

also Hanzee Dent is always a plus
---

I'll come back to it again when I'm less tired

I do have my issues with it, but I also love a lot of what it did
---

So I watched Cube, I've seen that before but it's still fun. I watched Cube 2, I hadn't seen it before, that...was kind of a mindfuck
---

cube and cube 2 are some of my favorite dumb fun horror movies
---

I find the original Cube pretty smart actually but Cube 2 is definitely where things get stupid.
---

Finally watched Crystal Lake Memories all the way through. The ending was great

They finally retconned in Evil Tommy Jarvis as God intended. Also all the cast repeating their lines, except Reboot Jason just getting annoyed he didn't have lines
---

Thanks for reminding me that I need to watch that! Farrands' Never Sleep Again and His Name Was Jason are excellent docs.
---

Betsy Palmer has a great line. Paraphrasing, "I'll still get people coming up to me at conventions and such, asking me to hold their child for a photo. I'm just like...I'm flattered, but *why!?*"
---

Annihilation was freaky deaky. Pretty good blend of body & existential horror.
---

Annihilation is easily one of my favorites this year

I am really digging on the ambient soundtrack:

Really fits the humanoid-formation scene - something that seems both organic and mechanical.

Definitely one of those films that gestates and grows on you as time passes.

watching the endless
---

goddamnit who let max caufield into this cult
---

hoo boy

I not only loved The Endless but it made me retroactively like Resolution more

the fact that these movies were released like 7 years apart is crazy
---

My eyes are bleeding. One of my biggest pet peeves is grammar mistakes that should be obvious. But it's my boss...

It really is, I'd love to watch them back-to-back one time. I may like The Endless more than Resolution but I would definitely have rewatch the former 1st before making that call. They're so closely intertwined and related that's it pretty hard to say.
---

I watched 'Calibre', continuing my streak of watching movies that make you feel dead inside
---

Watched Unfriended last night

I'm not gonna say it was a good movie but it was definitely enjoyable! Honestly probably the funniest horror movie I've seen in a long time

The sequel promises to be even more stupid

I thought it was very clever and did a lot of clever things with the plot. I didn't see a couple of twists coming.

Surprised they ditched internet ghosts for the sequal though.
---

my biggest issue with the movie is it feels like it's made by a guy who thinks he knows how teenagers use the internet but doesn't actually

About what I thought of it as well.

And I'll agree the premise was very interesting. I didn't think the entire freaking movie would take place on a laptop. Had to do wonders for the budget. No wonder they could afford to make a sequel!
---

Does anyone here remember a movie called As Above, So Below, and if so what did you guys think of it?
---

Thought it was good when I watched it but it didn't really stick with me much longer past that.

with DaGeneticFreak's help in Round 1 and with foolmo's help in Round 2 I SHALL BECOME THE FIRST TWO-TIME LETHAL LOTTERY WINNER

and that spells DISASTER for you all at LETHAL LOTTERY

is she single? :O

I'm usually the one explaining things to my partner, but even I still had to ask on here about "chaos is a ladder".

Unfriended was so much better than it had any right to be

A trailer for this keeps playing before my youtube videos, and when the guy says "Dude, this is DARK WEB" my eyes roll soooo far back in my head.

I still kind of want to see it though.
---

I think I'm more excited for the soundtrack than the game, really hoping they draw a lot of influence from the Sonic R soundtrack.
Although it does look like it could be a fun take on kart-ish racing.

STORM
Metagross
Pangoro
Squirtle

MINERAL
Gengar
Greninja
Vulpix

GLACIER
Arcanine
Marowak
Snorlax

RISING
Bulbasaur
Pancham
Mimikyu

you may want 3-4 to be two episodes.

3-5 is doable in 5 episodes i think? one episode for each segment, two episodes for trial 2?
---

Finally watched Kill List based on the recommendations from this topic

...kind of disappointed, honestly
---

Aww too bad, I was sure you'd love it! What was disappointing?
---

I don't know, I guess the payoff wasn't really what I expected given the buildup? It almost felt too predictable, especially given how long it takes to get there. I just feel like I've seen several other movies do pretty similar things (both older and newer than Kill List) that all kind of did them better. There wasn't anything particularly compelling about the way it was shot (except maybe in the tunnel scene)

It feels like it was supposed to be scary and shocking, but I didn't really feel either watching it

The score was excellent though, I'll give it that.

I'm sick. Not going to force an update out today. Will be up by tomorrow

Hey, it's okay man. Take your time. I completely sympa-

Nah screw that hurry up and get better so we can see the results of our efforts soon!

Watched the new Unfriended. That was...best way to describe it was a genuinely spooky movie hiding under a bunch of eye rolling dumb
---

On the flip side I finally saw the preview for the new Halloween and I'm enthused for that. There's something really cool about crazy old lady Laurie learning Michael is back, and her reaction is to grab a gun and go "About time. I am going to kill his ass"
