Dolls (1987) has some fun stop-motion but really tiring attempts at humour. Some of the worst British accents I've ever heard. Seemingly no continuity editor on set. Absolutely worth it for the shot of the dolls convening in the corner and reaching a democratic decision.

the shining is my all-time favorite flick but that doctor sleep trailer rubbed me the wrong way

like it seems fine but there wasn't really anything scary about it. more just like "hmm weird"

also i accidentally read a spoiler for the book and now i know why mike flanagan signed up

Oh man, Humanoids from the Deep is so good. This boardwalk sequence is incredible.

I meant the Dugan Mausoleum but I downloaded both so maybe I’ll watch them back-to-back. Thanks!

if you mean death warmed up as opposed to death warmed over? yeah that's def worth watching too

kiwi movie about a guy who is brainwashed to kill his parents by a mad scientist (who lives on a cool remote island, obvs). it has zombies, motorbikes, and a lot of gore

haven't seen it in years but remember liking it a lot

I also recommend Humanoids from the deep.
Combarieu declares that the songs of birds are not "musical" either, because they are "very difficult to take down in notation." See his Music-Its Laws and Evolution, 155. Will some divine power please create a "Musical" bird to sing the Air for G String in exact Equal Temperament for M. Combarieu?

It legit doesn’t do anything that made the original good. Like, what? The original was so low-key influential. P much jacob’s ladder runs through to the closer music video (and rabbit in your headlights vid/sample), informs se7en and is a huge influence on Team Silence when making silent hill 1 and 2 and the yamaoka ost.

Adrienne Lynne’s whole erotic thriller/neo noir look and feel always had this undercurrent of darkness - not in a sexy, brooding way, but in the way it was framed and shot always had a wet, earthy, disquieting quality and it gets channeled into straight horror with JL. It’s all about the disturbing body dysmorphia coupled with sexual dysfunction like the way the party scene shifts gradually into scary unreality but then you’re fucking there and there’s low, Dutch angles and fog machines and the girlfriend getting fucked by a demon appendage. And the double take of the morphed penis tail in the subway. And Lynne always has gel on the lense to give this soft, kinda hazy effect so that you’re never really sure of anything - the reality and nightmare. You never feel stable in this movie. It’s one of the last scummy New York movies too - big, old flats and pre-gentrified subways already carrying a real world menace that becomes the foundation from which hallucinations and surreal horror are built. Weird ass alleyways and shit. It’s basically this movie, light sleeper, and Abel Ferrara’s first few 90s flicks (kings of New York, bad lieutenant) and then it’s all done. New York is done for this shit. And there’s this vulnerability and instability that Robbins does that Michael fucking ealy (as hot as he is) can never do. You also have the fucking alley that becomes the hell operating room with the art installation editing to make heads vibrate and body horror that occurs just at the periphery of the shot. That was p much the next decade in horror - at least in the way it looked.

And this trailer is all hurt locker hyper editing flash backs to the war and bullshit ghosts standing on a clean ass subway and MY BROTHER’S BLEEDING. Jacob’s Ladder was such a confluence of amazing shit and tone and Danny aielo and Tim Robbins and Matt craven’s cameo as twitchy exposition dump scientist/deep throat and lynne’s Lighting and taking late 80s erotic thriller to its natural horror endpoint. It’s everything. What even is this?
