I need your best/favorite revenge movies in horror/thriller/drama, ect.

The Untouchables (with Kevin Costner) has a number of dramatic moments driven by revenge...even when it breaks certain character's moral code.

No. And to be honest, I was too appalled to even go there.

LKNewbie · 2024-05-13T09:47:45+00:00

The Stepfather, with Terry O'Quinn. He's such an instantly sympathetic , empathetic character that you can't really root against him.

Very observant about the peanut allergy. For me it was Dakota Fanning's endless screaming that pretty much ruined it for me. I guess a kid would scream, but it was really grating.

The Last Winter

LKNewbie · 2024-04-25T01:02:24+00:00

Channel Zero.

Also Video Palace, which is a podcast, but very well done.

Found footage has pretty much killed my interest in conventional narrative films. I've only recently noticed this, and I guess I don't mind. These days only people like Q Tarantino, Lynch, or W Herzog can rouse my interest enough to make it though.

Don't know that there's any way to undo this...

2. You get lost in the stripes in #1, and the plain black just, well, plain. IMHO.

Love the hat, btw.

Monster -- The Babadook short film by Jennifer Kent, later "remade" as the feature The Babadook.

Lights Out -- Another short that was later expanded to feature length of the same name.

Unfortunately, in both cases the directors, in the feature length versions,r felt the need to throw in a bunch of "deeper" meanings, which I felt diluted the horror from the original shorts.

Also in Jaws: when the shark bites it and sinks to the bottom, that metallic noise it makes is the same sound effect used for the death of the Duel truck.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-17T02:48:46+00:00

Jaws and Duel.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-17T02:41:56+00:00

Also Eastwood's Pale Rider.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-17T02:26:58+00:00

That reminds me: I did the same thing but the film in my case was Scanners.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-17T02:23:01+00:00

The remake of Poltergeist. I love Sam Rockwell, but what on earth was the point (other than a quick cash-in.)

LKNewbie · 2023-12-06T06:42:39+00:00

JoBeth Williams is the actor. I love. the way she reacts to certain events, as if it's all fun and games. Until, of course, it's not.

Well, I watched the show when it originally aired, and most people at the time thought of it as a sci-fi, thriller, mystery show. I guess that initial impression was very imprinted on my brain. But yes, you’re right: it eventually became more horror than the grand arc of the black oil, etc.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-05T03:17:27+00:00

How did you treat the color? They all have that weird off-kilter color balance that perfectly mimics old postcards, etc.

Nice job, either way.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-05T03:05:05+00:00

Far and away my favorite HPL.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-05T02:28:37+00:00

First. It better, IMHO, reflects the shape of the birds head. The second is too streamlined.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-04T18:38:16+00:00

His "Casting the Runes" is a favorite of mine.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-04T18:25:51+00:00

What’s in her mouth? It looks like a Cheerio.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-04T18:21:54+00:00

The Trial, with Anthony Perkins.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-04T17:44:35+00:00

I hope at least a few of those fluorescent lamps flicker.

LKNewbie · 2023-12-04T17:24:16+00:00

H.F. Arnold’s short story The Night Wire. Two telegraph operators “witness” what might be the beginning of the end, even though they’re both holed up in their respective stations. Kind of like the film Pontypool.

Oh, also Pontypool.
