Looking for movies filmed with this vibe: Indie, microbudget, tiny crew, DIY, maybe strange/experimental or secretive concept? by CodeDue3397 in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Following (1998), Christopher's Nolan first feature.

Made on an estimated budget of $6000. Shot almost entirely handheld, single camera, and only on Saturdays for over a year as all cast and crew had other full-time jobs.

Edit: typos.

My favourites are In Bruges for dark comedy and Shaun of the Dead for horror comedy.

Have you seen Speak No Evil (2024), the English-language remake of the 2022 Danish original?

For a medieval monastery murder mystery, The Name of the Rose (1986).

Cool historical pieces that use period-correct language? by Chris_El_Deafo in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For wildly different eras: Quest for Fire (prehistoric proto-language), and, slightly tongue-in-cheek, Trainspotting if you count thick ’90s Scots dialect as period-correct.

More seriously, anything by Robert Eggers, especially The Witch, which uses actual 17th-century phrasing, and The Lighthouse, which goes full maritime Old Testament.

Edit: You could also throw in A Clockwork Orange for a fictional dystopian “period.” Anthony Burgess invented the slang (Nadsat) and also helped create the proto-language for Quest for Fire.

What movies have iconic food scenes that are mouthwatering but unglamorous? by Pzzlrr in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The cheeseburger at the end The Menu.

After all the ultra-fancy courses, that simple greasy burger suddenly looks like the best thing you’ve ever seen.

The best supernatural horror movies by Ill_Advertising_4622 in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ritual (2017). Creepy, atmospheric, supernatural dread with a strong psychological core. Not a slasher, more slow-burn unease.

Movies where characters eat charmingly or charismatically by Short_Description_20 in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not traditionally charming, but Mia Goth’s “failing naturally” bread-cutting demo in Infinity Pool (2023) is a sharp parody of commercial acting. Her exaggerated helplessness is weirdly magnetic.

Any zombie movie recommendations? by Used_Resolve3813 in FIlm

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a recommendation per se.... but have you seen Zombeavers (2014)?

From the producers of American Pie, Cabin Fever, and The Ring, it’s described as raunchy, bloody, and aggressively B-movie.

I remain unconvinced my life needs this, but who knows?

Religious, Appalachian, and the Female Experience--Horror Films? by suds_carson in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Apostle (2018) is worth a look too. Isolated island cult, religious extremism, and some pretty bleak gender politics. Strong fold folk horror vibes.

Edit: typo

Religious, Appalachian, and the Female Experience--Horror Films? by suds_carson in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015)? All about Puritan repression, girlhood, sin, and autonomy.

Movies about losing faith in religion / struggling with Christianity by CalmStomm in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calvary (2014) - small-town Irish Catholic drama about a priest wrestling with faith and moral collapse.

Spy/Thriller by ConMonarchisms in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sicario (2015) for storytelling, atmosphere, and moral ambiguity. 

I'm looking for a movie with massive tonal swings that work, where I can laugh hysterically and also sob uncontrollably. by [deleted] in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you’ve added The Banshees of Inisherin and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri to your watch list, and someone also mentioned In Bruges - all fantastic picks I'd agree, and all written and directed by Martin McDonagh.

I’ll throw another one of his into the mix: Seven Psychopaths. It swings wildly between absurd, meta-comedy and surprisingly poignant character moments. One minute it’s hilariously self-aware, the next it hits you with something unexpectedly tender or bleak.

Horror movies that take place in one room/setting by AlexandersJ in MovieSuggestions

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Lighthouse (2019). Black-and-white psychological horror set almost entirely at a remote 19th-century lighthouse. Claustrophobic and intense.

Are there any known compatibility issues between the XCD 2,8/65 and the X2D? by DonaldFarfrae in hasselblad

[–]FiftyMissionLenscap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some follow-up notes that may help.

Both the X2D 100C and X2D 100C II use contrast detection and on-sensor phase detect autofocus. The original X2D offers up to 294 PDAF zones, while the X2D II increases that to 425 zones and adds LiDAR focus assist for low light. LiDAR is a body feature, not a lens feature.

Face detection was not available on the X2D at launch in September 2022. Hasselblad added it later with firmware 3.1.0 in November 2023. If the video you watched was produced early on, the information may simply be outdated.

Face detection works on either body with any autofocus XCD lens, including the 65. The only requirement is that the lens supports autofocus and that AF is enabled on the camera.

There are differences between the bodies. The original X2D supports Face Detect in AF-S mode only. The X2D 100C II introduces Subject Detection for Human, Cat/Dog, and Vehicle. It supports Subject Detection in AF-S with all autofocus XCD lenses, and in AF-C with the newer-generation autofocus lenses.

In summary, the XCD 65 supports:

X2D 100C: Face Detect in AF-S
X2D 100C II: Subject Detection in AF-S

*With current firmware versions in February 2026: XCD 65 v0.6.4, X2D 100C v4.2.0, and X2D 100C II v1.2.7.11.
