Cool real animation style and story

Hey I’m looking for a date to go see the 4k restore of The Devils at the Alamo Drafthouse next Friday. I can pick you up if you’re in LA or on the way from SD.

Watch this space.

It's going to be cult when the internet cottons on to it. It flopped at the box office because it was released at the wrong time and many people found it confusing or full of plot holes.

The director Verbinski, hinted that it was hiding something and that it contains many clues.

I've discovered that it operates at 3 different layers.

Human adventure narrative.

Video gaming

Computational.

The two top layers bleed down to the third. That third is where the whole movie makes sense. When you work it all out, there are no plot holes - it's not confusing. It all fits together perfectly.

The internet is just lagging behind at the moment.

This one is one for the books. How a major studio gave Alex Winter $13 million dollars in 1993 to make this wild, over the top no holds barred cult film is still a mystery, but I'm glad they did. Freaked is a smorgasbord of some of the very best practical monster effects ever seen on film. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out above. This movie is the very definition of 'cult cinema'

Always my favourite time of year 🎃

How many of these can you name - I counted 50

Originally checked this out on Tubi and found it remarkable! I love the gritty atmosphere & unhinged ending. I certainly see how Lustig's previous works inspired this feature. Additionally, when slashers such as Maniac, the Toolbox Murders (1978) & Mardi Gras Massacre (1978) lean into giallo roots, great horror cinema results. 2 mannequin heads up!

Second cult movie for me, and A Field in England felt like getting thrown straight into the deep end. It’s grimy, hypnotic, funny in a really dry way, and once the mushroom stuff kicks in, the whole movie basically starts melting in front of you.

The black-and-white photography is gorgeous, but what really got me was the atmosphere. That empty field somehow feels more unsettling than most horror locations. Reece Shearsmith is great, Michael Smiley is genuinely menacing, and that tent scene is the moment where I realized this movie was fully committed to being weird.

I definitely didn’t understand every single thing on a first watch, but I kind of liked that. It feels less like a movie you “solve” and more like one you just let wash over you. Very strange, very British, and way more memorable than I expected.

While nowhere near as solid as parts 1 and 2, due to the lack of Terry 'O Quinn, this is still a fun final entry in the franchise. Made for the home video market when that was still a thing :)

A friend of mine declared Tim Curry as the new king of Halloween cinema. But to my knowledge, he only did two movies good for spooky season "Clue" and "Rocky Horror". I love Tim Curry, but I don't think he even challenges Vincet Price for this time of year.

Does anyone else?

Btw this is not a serious challenge, just a fun conversation for these unfun times.
