(BP) Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Longlegs is a well-crafted love letter to 90s thrillers. Of the period pieces made about the decade so far, it‘s the most personally evocative to me of how the 90s felt. Cage lives up to the William Castle-esque promotion around his performance, but Maika Monroe is undeniably the standout. It’s a very specific performance that’s incredibly endearing. The screenplay needed some tinkering; it reminded me of Peele’s Us in the sense that it simultaneously provides too much exposition about what’s happening while not actually giving us enough information. It should’ve either been a bit more grounded or gone full Lynchian nightmare. Certainly worth a watch for the performances and the atmosphere, and it’s a blast in a packed theater.

For years I've felt it's the best horror film ever made. I still feel that way. The story, the family are believable based on Ed Gein, Leatherface is iconic. The horror the characters go through and we in turn. The intensity. The way the film uses sounds. My Dad on the other hand hated it saying it's shit and not stood the rest of time. Rare disagreement with Dad on films. What's the greatest horror movie of all time to you? You just saw it. First saw it at a drive in with my dad and my teenage cousin when I was about to turn 4. Hot summer night in the rural south. Drive in packed with cars. Once home video became a thing and we had a vcr i rented it and yep. Still my favorite horror film and maybe my favorite movie. Watched Deer Camp '86 today. Low budget but decently made throwback. Guys go hunting in rural Michigan in 1986. Native lady running a bar gets killed and now something is stalking our 6 guys at the deer camp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) My discussion of the film is in the 2024 thread, but I can add this: there were a lot of kids in the crowd (teens I mean), and there were some actual kid kids as in there was a mom I saw who brought her two way too young daughters to it. There were no screams or crying children ran to the exits so I take it they've been, uh, raised right, if you get my drift? (Tell J.T. he's in good company!) Also, the R rating being a click on a computer screen and the only barrier otherwise being a pair of 16-year olds holding brooms and tearing tickets means not only is the MPA(A) only a formality, it might as well not exist. Jack Valenti's evil corporate ass has melted beyond dust by now. Hail Satan indeed! Edited July 16 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Trailer update! Every single one for Longlegs was horror. Lessee, there was Nosferatu, Heretic, Speak No Evil, Cuckoo, and Trap. I ignored the trailer for it above and that was stupid because it looks incredibly fun and maybe the only M. Night movie I've wanted to watch. You know exactly what's gonna happen in it from watching but it doesn't matter, Josh Hartnett being a sick fuck in broad daylight and getting away with it is gonna be a blast. And that one is PG-13?! Yeah, ratings are dead dead dead. No Alien: Romulus as was hoping though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I watched Renfield last night. It was fun; the biggest issue is that Awkafina is miscast, although she does an admirable job. Nicolas Hoult mostly makes their scenes together work. Cage is wonderful. He could’ve easily gone funnier or more menacing, but he deftly calibrated his performance to the material. I watched it yesterday and I’m still thinking about how Cage’s final line of dialogue is exactly the same as in Longlegs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 With the "Hail Satan" and everything? I missed out on this one, it seemed like a real good time from the trailers. Let me ask this, is it anywhere near What We Do In The Shadows quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me ask this, is it anywhere near What We Do In The Shadows quality? He even does the devil’s horns gesture. There’s definitely some Shadows in its DNA, but it’s way more of a gory action comedy than a vampire parody so they’re not really comparable. I think its biggest weakness (besides some of the casting) is it can’t decide if it’s a comedy about Dracula running a toxic workplace or if its John Wick with Monsters, and since it can’t commit to one idea both aspects don’t totally click. But (and I can’t stress this enough) if one of your issues with the Wick fight scenes is that not enough human bodies explode, then this is the movie for you.

Curt McGirt Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Yeah, that sounds like it's right up my alley. It amuses me how Longlegs is such a Satanic Panic hangover from the '80s. By 1995 or whenever that was dead, old news and conservative assholes people were (wrongly) worried about gangsta rap and Natural Born Killas... with Cannibal Corpse as a little side-dish.

Curt McGirt Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Thank god Luke won all his lawsuits. And in Florida, no less. If ANY of those had went against him, we would be looking at easy censorship in this country. I didn't know just how important he was until watching that documentary on him that came out along with other rappers as a TV show recently (other suspects were Ice-T, Eve, Fat Joe, etc.). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Check this out! Dakar, the actor from Zombie (Zombi 2), and Zombi Holocaust/Dr. Butcher, M.D.? Former pro wrestler in Argentina. Spoiler I really wish someone would take the footage of him playing flamenco guitar that was an extra on the old Zombie DVD with the slipcase and put it on Youtube. *sigh* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I always found those straight-to-dvd serial killer bio-sploitation movies really tacky and unpleasant. Besides, that dude has no chance of being as good as Cameron Britton as Kemper in Mindhunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 That would imply Lon Chaney, Jr. wasn't a good actor which, come on Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 The Werewolf character is the only thing I've ever seen from him that was "good" but it is also iconic so no comparison to Gulas at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
