Red Mosquito

holy shit, the horror elements at the start of Yellowjackets were the biggest dangling carrot; I'm bored as fuck

what ep are you watching?

I wouldnt say its a horror series at all, but it has the elements.

I'm 4 or 5 episodes down, I was fooled into thinking it leaned harder into horror than it does

it will get more supernatural and fucked up. And there is a very cool episode near the end in the forest.

But its not Evil Dead or something.

I don't mind a slow burn, I'm not really an Evil Dead person; I just think it's tonally off-balance a bit; I will keep going

with all The Batman talk I decided I should watch Reeves' "Let Me In" (though I think I'll still end up preferring LTROI); pretty cool that Giacchino is involved, lots of seeds for the Bats aesthetic in here so far

i love the original but yes, the remake is good enough. I should re watch it.

Fresh.

Very fun. Great cast and it was good to see Sebastian Stan having so much fun.

finally watched "Lamb"

an excellent fable / allegory about trying to find the thing you've lost and are grieving in the mundane particulars of your current life

I don't think I've seen anything by Ti West, but I can't wait to see "X". It's getting great reviews, too.

he is one of my favs from recent years....and yes, X looks amazing.

House Of The Devil and The Inkeepers.

Yes, house is one of the best horror movies of the 00’s and innkeepers was a good surprise to randomly stumble upon on Netflix

I saw the new movie X in the theatre today. It's good. It's really very good looking and starts off really well. I found the last third or so, when the horror really gets going, to be a bit boring, but that may be my own failing.
It has elements of 70s grindhouse stuff, but doesn't quite commit to it as much as something like Death Proof did. I think a little more of that would have been a good thing, but, again, maybe that's just me

I think I'll take myself to the cinema to watch "You Won't Be Alone" next month

ironically, I will be alone

im dying to see X and im actually happy if the movie restrains itself from that grindhouse element DP had.

Just finished The House of the Devil and it was good.

i love it. Great slow burn and damn, once the horror comes it pays off.

I love how is shot too, looks awesome.

I thought it looked awesome too. The slow burn build-up was very effective.

I like how horror movies like this don't do a lot of explaining, just throw you into a situation and let you fill in the blanks.
