 The Brood. One of my favorite David Cronenberg films. Certainly one of his more darker, graphic, bleak, and disturbing movies. Also intelligently written and imaginatively conceived. Some very gruesome and nasty scenes, so definitely not for the squeamish.
I totally agree here Dramatic Look Gopher and a perfectly put post here as well ( and awesome movie poster pic selection here too !! )   .
An excellent and underrated find here indeed
and I used to watch this one a few years ago on the cable channels too   ( but sadly haven't seen this movie since then  ) .
A definite favorite of mine here also .
Thanks so much for this film reminder and your reply  .

The Babadook (2014). That was some scary shit!   The ending was silly though. |

The Brood is very gross and bleak however it is probably the best made horror-monster movie to come out of Canada where the director-writer wasn't from abroad.
Not that it has much competition for that distinction.
"Psychoplasmics!"
Oliver Reed was arrested by the Canadian police during the production of this film after he made a bet with someone that he could walk from one bar to another without wearing clothes in freezing cold weather.

"Death Machine" (1994)
Sometimes quirky, offbeat futuristic sci-fi / horror that makes up for in pace and intensity what it lacks in overall originality. Ely Pouget is a tough and appealing heroine, Brad Dourif is fun as always in one of his flamboyant psycho roles, and the design of the Warbeast is pretty damn cool. In-jokes consist of character names: John Carpenter, Sam Raimi, "Scott Ridley", Weyland, Yutani. |

Halloween (2018)
I didn't like it.
Watching it felt like listening to some stupid medley song.

Re-watched Get Out last night and enjoyed it even more than when I saw it in theaters. My only issue is with the ending/overdone comedic relief, but I guess in the era of Trump, such levity is needed.
But all politics aside, this is just a well-crafted, hard-driving film. Peele studied the greats (Kubrick, Carpenter, etc.) and it shows.

"Faces in the crowd" I had forgotten about it and remember the trailer looking generic. The main character (Milla Jovovich) having facial blindness (unable to remember faces) was an interesting twist. It was entertaining enough.
"Madhouse" (1981) An alright psychological slasher with a few twists.
*spoilers I guess?* Did not enjoy seeing a screaming Cat get strung up and hanged tho. Plus an (albeit) vicious Dog getting a power Drill used on him graphically. No bueno.

Ronny Yu’s debut HK film The Trail (1983). Fun film with Yu’s trademark atmospheric flashes, and the fitting chemistry, and timing between the cast meant the humour was more hit than miss in this horror-comedy of a group of opium smugglers who run afoul of a vengeful corpse.  |

I wonder what happened to him? Seems like he got blacklisted for pissing off Sean Connery into early retirement. The only IMDB credit he had after League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was as a prop sculptor some years later.

That is indeed a good one, mszanadu. Ellen Page was simply amazing. And as a man, certain scenes really made me cringe. |

I totally agree with you Dramatic Look Gopher and know what certain scenes you mean here too   .
I may not be a man
but those particular scenes
most definitely qualified as cringe worthy    .
My hands and feet actually go numb
when those scenes are on
sometimes have to leave the room and walk it off
until it's over (  - silly me here I know ) .
IMPO - I would say this movie is
about the modern day vigilante equivalent
of course with a few differences in characters
and their vengeful methods of
dealing with potential criminals too .
was outstanding in this one especially playing a 14 year old honor student
( and the actress was really 18 years old at that time ) .
Just recently saw her in a movie that
which she was really good in as well .
Thanks so much for your reply . |

Into the Forest (2015) Realistic Post Apocalypse/Survivalist movie in which 2 sisters, Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood, attempt to survive in an isolated home after The US (and maybe the world??) loses electricity. Not a lot of action, but a fair amount of suspense. Well made and well acted. It's on Kanopy.com

Jack Frost (1997) - 6/10
Objectively this is a bad film, and I mean bad. But I have to say it’s pretty damn fun. It’s a guilty pleasure movie about a killer snowman. What else were you expecting? I wonder how parents would react if they thought this was the Michael Keaton film in '98. 🤔

 Michael Mann’s 1983 cult-horror The Keep (adapted from F. Paul Wilson’s excellent novel of the same name) is a moody, yet confounded film that grows on me each time I watch it. While not perfect (because of a rough production that saw the film edited to bits, and some visual effects not fully completed due to the death of their head SFX guy), still Mann’s stylistic visuals, and use of sound kept me invested along with Tangerine Dream’s electronic score which takes you on trip. There’s a fairytale-like vibe, and touches of Lovecraft to this muddled story of good and evil. And do like the performances of Jurgen Prochnow and Gabriel Byrne as the feuding German officers caught up in all this supernatural commotion. |
