J.T. Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) So yeah. It's Black History month. If you have Shudder and haven't watched Horror Noire yet, shame on you, Ganja & Hess (the good edit) is in the Starz On Demand queue. I will have to sit down and watch it all the way through before the end of the month. Edited February 7, 2021 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shape of Water is a good movie. Won awards and stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Thanks! Apparently True History of the Kelly Gang with Russell Crowe and Charlie Hunnam from last year is showing up tomorrow at midnight Central on Showtime too. I saw the trailer and it had people wearing tin armor like in The Devil's Rejects so hey, horror adjacent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I was just watching Rambo III, looked up at the credits, and guess who did the special makeup effects on the movie? GIANNETTO DE FUCKIN ROSSI~! I had no idea. He also had a hand in Conan the Destroyer. Now here is an even more interesting piece of trivia: Gino De Rossi (FX on City of the Living Dead/The Gates of Hell) and Giannetto De Rossi are not the same person. Gino is short for Luigino. He did effects on Zombie as well as the other De Rossi but was uncredited. He also did Burial Ground and Cannibal Ferox (and Hudson Hawk, Casino Royale, etc.). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) The weather sucks, it's a holiday weekend, I'm a Federal employee, and both Freaky and Come Play are available for rent in the Microsoft Store. Time to update the Blue Ray Player on my Series X Edited February 12, 2021 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 And I just noticed that Saint Maud is on Epix On Demand now. Soooo much to watch this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Need to get on that over here too; looks like we're about to be snowed in for a week straight. Keep us updated what's good (I'm sure Saint Maud is already in that category). Oooo, it just so happens I kept the following link for this exact occasion: https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3644902/top-15-horror-movies-2020/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) FYI Joe Bob's doing a Valentine's Day special on Shudder tonight at 9 PM EST. Also, their original After Midnight is supposed to be pretty good, and also a bit of a Valentine's non-treat. EDIT: The Joe Bob picks of the evening are Tammy and the T-Rex and The Love Witch. I forgot The Love Witch existed and can't remember if I've seen it or not. It feels like I got real drunk and saw it at the Art.

HumanChessgame Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Saint Maud was decent enough, though I don't think I'd watch it again and definitely falls more into the psychological thriller category as opposed to horror. The production values, cinematography, and acting are all fantastic but the story itself is nothing special. It really struck me as a spiritual successor to The Witch as I found a lot of parallels, only in this movie there aren't as many vagaries as to what's going on. It's a good study on unchecked mental illness coupled with overly devout religious practice. I'd never heard of Antibirth until a few days ago and found it a great piece of body horror. The setting and overall atmosphere give you this really unpleasant feeling of how hopeless all the characters lives are which combines well with the more gory aspects. There are some decent comedic bits interspersed too. I don't know why but I decided to watch the Wrong Turn remake/reboot/rewhatthefuckever just now and it was....actually pretty good. They should have just called it something totally different as it's a remake in name only. The basic survival horror plot is still there, but there are no mutant cannibals this time around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Quote Joe Bob’s teaming up with the Mahoning Drive-In for JOE BOB’S DRIVE-IN JAMBOREE, July 16-18! This three-day event will will include an indie festival for guerrilla filmmakers, movies hosted by Joe Bob, a family-friendly “haunted drive-in” event with live zombies and monsters, and days filled with bands, cosplay contests, custom cars, sideshow attractions, and much more! More details to come, and tickets will go on sale in April. From the Joe Bob FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I think it’s the Samnee place I saw the horrible FF movie with TAFKA Leonard Chikarason and his pod partner Todd. Near Allentown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Yeah, Saint Maud was very interesting. It's definitely a dark fable on the perils of unchecked mental illness and it pleasantly uses religious ideas without really bashing the idea of spirituality. Maud's crisis of faith is actually her becoming more delusional and detached with reality and her mind desperately clings to Catholic dogma in the hope that the order of orthodoxy and the discipline of worship will whip her mind back into shape, when what she really needs is proper psychiatric care to help her process her trauma. It's kinda depressing when you think about it. On HumanChessgame's recommendation, I will check out the Wrong Turn rebooty thing that I have been avoiding like the plague. Both Sea Fever and The Wretched are on Hulu. Not sure how I missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Love Witch has been in the Shudder queue for as long as I can remember. I still haven't watched it. I think we all had a long and humorous discussion about the notion that the career of Denise Richards and the legacy of Paul Walker are probably best served if everyone forgot about Tammy & the T-Rex. It is a guilty favorite of mine because the uncut version is ridiculously gory and of course there's that thing with Denise in the last fifteen minutes of the movie (EASY THERE, CIBERNETICO~!!!). Any movie that allows Terry Kiser earn a paycheck can't be all bad. Edited February 16, 2021 by J.T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Decided if I'm gonna clean up the DVR I might as well start with the Bert I. Gordon movies and turned on The Food of the Gods. Good lord. The giant rooster almost made me want to just turn it off and delete it but the giant maggots (!) kept me going, then the giant rat murder got me for real. This is just too stupid not to love. It's part of a TCM double-feature so The Swarm is up next. I wonder if I can get through both of them?

Curt McGirt Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Update: Couldn't even do The Swarm. But Food had some interesting smoke and mirrors work for being so incredibly ridiculous. Just saw this and it's weirding me out to see them in color Spoiler Christ, Helen and Harry look like they got in a legit "domestic dispute" Edited February 24, 2021 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Watched Vampire's Kiss for the first time ever last night. I do not know how much coke Cage was doing when this film was made, but WTF? It makes some of his later roles look pretty sedate. I actually enjoyed the movie but he was all over the place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The Twilight Zone has been cancelled Probably a big reason is... (per Hollywood Reporter) Quote sources noted the cancellation comes after Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Simon Kinberg’s Genre Films were reportedly both ready to move on from the project, despite the streamer’s willingness to continue the anthology series.
