yeah, I'd love to see Luca's take on the other two.

DB, this is a great article on Suspiria

Watched True Fiction last night
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/true_fiction_2019

Not too shabby, you could never tell 1oo percent what was REALLY going on.
This is a positive or negative depending upon if you enjoy that angle in a flick.

At times it was a little tedious for me to decide if writer dude was being legit or lying.

I think that a person being part of the experiments in the movie could have led them to make some of the cliche horror movie decisions that girl made, so those decisions seem less egregious than usual.

A solid 6/10

So tonight I'm going to see this.....



They are recreating Night of the Living Dead shot for shot live on stage in real-time. They have two big screens above the stage where on the left the original film plays, and on the right you see the footage that's being filmed on stage. 7 performers are responsible for all the acting, filming, scenery, props and editing. Looks totally nuts!

wow, that's fascinating

Wow, if I live nearby I will totally watch this play.

Personally I just wasn't a fan of the Suspiria remake at all, I just felt it went nowhere and was overlong and really boring after the hour mark. Glad it worked for others though but I'll take Argento's any day of the week.

I'd be intrigued in spite of myself if they had a go at Inferno actually.

3 From Hell (2019)
Essentially a rehash of TDR and following the further exploits of the infamous Firefly clan this isn't a great film in critical terms but I kinda enjoyed it for what it was nonetheless, dumb third act aside.Easily the poorest of the trilogy though and for completists or die hard RZ fans only.

I've watched the Suspiria remake three times, and it just grows in stature every time. It's a masterpiece.

Yeah it might be. If only a certain character in the third act didn't remind me of the decomposing boss in Scrooged...

I found the first half hour of Suspiria intriguing and appreciated its deviation from the original visually as well as plot wise, with its bleak washed out cinematography. I also found interesting its intimation that but this just kinda fizzled out later, and film overall just came across as kinda self important and the climax struck as as downright pretentious tbh. (And that's not a term I like using as I'm aware it's used in a lazy manner at times but that's honestly how it came across as to me)

Long as it worked for you though. I understand why others would dig it to clarify just as I understand why some aren't keen on the original, but it just fell flat for me, alas.

2017 Get Out (The Ritual Leatherface Gerald's Game Jigsaw)

2018 Hereditary ( Upgrade Mandy)

2019 I See You (1BR Come to Daddy)

^ Why have I never heard of any of the 2019 picks, when I've heard of almost all the others and seen many of them?

Kuru (2018) It Calls Japanese elaborate horror exorcism movie, high production values for a typical horror movie, many characters, many exorcists, long complex, bloody, unpredictable, goes way over the top, the Makoto female character is the best, makes Japanese modern culture seem highly westernized , setting is urban and mostly in daylight. I think it is supposed to be about people not really wanting to have children nowadays, and other people not truly loving children but faking it, even their own children, and the consequences of that attitude. I can't give it a great review because the story lines are hard to follow. The movie sometimes has people imagining things, sometimes dreaming, sometimes flash forwards, flashbacks, and its hard for this viewer to distinguish reality from imagined scenes, and so some scenes don't seem to make sense. Still worth watching for horror fans.

Solid list. The only one I can't get on board with is The Invitation, it seems turgid and contrived to me.

And nice to see Jug Face and Leatherface on your lists, both those seem unmentioned or underrated to me.

I only caught them on the festival circuit & hadn't heard of any of them beforehand. I put my thoughts on I See You earlier in the thread, Come to Daddy is a quirky little flick with a nice sense of unpredictability to it and I found 1BR pretty decent overall and I reckon it was influenced by that NXIVM cult that was in the news a while back.

Trailers for both here and both recced trailer for I See You already in thread & though stated as 2020 releases they were actually out late last year

Horror movies are my favourite thing to watch, and when I get a good one I absolutely love the genre. However I find that I tend to rate the majority of horror films at a 6/10 or below, many being terrible. What is wrong with me?! Does anybody else find this?

Btw watched Don't Kill It yesterday which was an awesome horror-comedy-action flick with Dolph Lungren as a demon hunter. Currently watching Videodrome which I am very unsure of. Honestly can’t decide whether it’s a classic or it’s utterly awful!

Yeah Don't Kill It is fun.

Videodrome isn't great imo

VIDEODROME IS A ****ING MASTERPIECE AND I WILL FIGHT YOU

Nah. The Fly is so, so much better, for example.

they're both great....Videodrome is much more meaningful and important, tho

I don't know why I've never seen this.
Kurosawa’s Cure(1997) free on youtube. Masterpiece of psychological horror. So well made. A highly determined police detective with a mentally illl wife tries to stop a deceptively powerful serial killer. Pay attention to the waitress in the final scene. Warning: may cause the viewer to become violent without knowing why.

Cure is a masterpiece

wtf I've never even heard of it. Need to see it now.

I have not heard of this one either but I am about to start it and am very excited!!

When Dom says it is a masterpiece, it gets my attention

My thanks go out to you Dom for recommending Vivarium because that was Awesome!!
