The Horror Movie Thread

Can't blame them really. If the visual treatment went the vibrant route, folks would have written it off as a lazy redo of the original. I like the new cold, muted look. Ironically, it looks like a seventies horror flick.

How ‘Us’ Turned Weed Anthem ‘I Got 5 on It’ Into a Creepy Horror Theme

Really need to see this.

Here's a fun fact.

Jordan Peele is married to Chelsea Peretti. Chelsea Peretti's brother is Jonah Peretti. Jonah Peretti is the CEO of Buzzfeed and co-founder of the Huffington Post.

Makes you wonder about the incredible media pushes this guy gets.

Someone needs to make a beat with the 5 On It strings.

Us was very enjoyable. It's a fun mix of horror tropes with some original ideas of its own. The third act has a lot of clumsy exposition and, as in Get Out, the comic relief didn't sit too well with me. But the characters in the film keep everything engaging and Lupita carries the movie on her shoulders throughout. A lesser actress could have made the messy parts of the script indigestible. She kind of looks a bit like a voodoo doll to begin with which is the icing on the cake.

While everything written about Jordan Peele is usually infuriating he himself seems like a decent guy, even when hes trolling white people, so I won't let the Icesickle-effect ruin his films for me.

Also Pet Semetary is out this weekend. I guess this won't be the last King remake we see in the coming years. No one will have the balls to touch The Shining but I think a few of his other films might get revisited by the studios after the huge success of IT.

I don't think I have even seen the OG Pet Semetary, or if I have I only vaguely remember something about a family living next to a graveyard. Perhaps I will check it out before the remake, trailer (2019) looks solid enough and I'm a sucker for antagonists with masks

Strickland's new film is finally out tomorrow on VOD.

Looks like the wait for Midsommar, Ari Aster's new film, is almost over.

Here it's out the same day as the new film from Alexandra Aja, who I stopped following after Piranha 3D because his two most recent films look a bit weak. But his new film, Crawl, might be okay. It's about gators in a basement, so I guess a fun creature film hopefully.

I'm hyped for In Fabric, the trailer hooked me
