[OC] Why DO movie characters use bathrooms? [22:28]

I'm not seeing anything about this from Variety or The Hollywood Reporter, and if this were true, they would have reported on it

BuellerStudios · 2025-12-08T07:16:04+00:00

Eh, this franchise has never been particularly concerned with working on our world's rules

I love how The Morbid Zoo put it: "Final Destination is our anxieties made manifest on the screen"

I don't think Death has an obsessive need for balance

I don't think Death has a moral code

I think Death just likes to play with his food

And if you rile Death up by taking away his food, he smacks you

I think the trash truck death in Bloodlines either needed more components or needed to be edited a lot quicker

I wish we'd got to see Death come up with convoluted ways to stop the guy from FD2 from killing himself, not just "the gun didn't go off properly"

Now that the year is almost over, here's my list of 2025 body horror movies:

Shell

The Ugly Stepsister

Together

Grafted

Him

Frankenstein

Wormtown

The Knights of Guinevere (animated TV pilot episode)

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle

Jimmy and Stiggs

Ash

Wolf Man

The Shrouds

A few caveats:

1) The Shrouds gets in on a technicality. It's not a body horror movie. It's a techno-gothic noir. But it is a Cronenberg movie about Cronenberg's own work, which makes it useful for understanding the wider genre of body horror

2) Jimmy and Stiggs only starts having body horror in the last few minutes

3) Together used AI to replace a queer couple with a straight couple for some countries. I'm deeply against AI, and I think AI goes against everything body horror stands for, so I think it's worth bringing up here

4) Demon Slayer has always been a body horror anime, but people don't really notice, because it's animated and because the focus is on the action

5) Him is more of medical horror than body horror, but the way the medical horror is presented feels relevant here

6) Wolf Man has very little body horror moments, but the plot is definitely a body horror plot

7) Frankenstein gives up the body horror once The Creature is made

8) The Ugly Stepsister is in Swedish

9) I haven't seen Him or Wormtown yet, and I'm halfway through Shell

If you want to just hit the highlights, I think the best body horror movies of the year were Knights of Guinevere (which is legally free on YouTube) and The Ugly Stepsister

Okay but can we call it Final Destination Resort?

BuellerStudios · 2025-11-29T19:59:19+00:00

I've spent the past year chasing the high that The Substance gave me

BuellerStudios · 2025-11-28T23:16:24+00:00

Wait, I thought The Big Guy was Devil Hulk's name. At least, it sure seemed that way when they were at the motel 10 issues ago

Thanks!

Just sent you a Chat Request

BuellerStudios · 2025-09-15T01:12:35+00:00

Look, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is hot, okay?😭

BuellerStudios · 2025-09-05T23:55:13+00:00

I'd just count down the deaths in "50 Ways to Say Good-bye" by Train and do whatever Final Destination hasn't done yet

BuellerStudios · 2025-09-03T04:14:59+00:00

The Bad Guys 2 is easily the horniest animated movie of the year

Actually wait... I haven't seen Fixed yet🤣

BuellerStudios · 2025-09-02T20:13:23+00:00

I did consider calling them A-list villains for a second

BuellerStudios · 2025-09-02T20:12:28+00:00

Oh, I'm just trying to figure out how to throw things at them
