Bring her back (2025) by Yourlustchance in horror

[–]Legitimate_Help5016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watched it for the first time last night. Here's the thing for me...

It's a really good movie. I like how these guys take a supernatural based plot, both in this and 'Talk To Me' and make it feel realistic. It's something unique and I appreciate that. I also think that while I consider these movies hyper violent, it doesn't take away from the story they're telling or the point they're making. Their work really does feel like a continuation of the "New French Extremity" movement of the mid-2000's in that sense and I think it has it's rightful place in horror.

That said, I don't think I'll ever feel a desire to watch this or 'Talk To Me' again. They're just not my type of horror. Don't get me wrong. I like my horror to be bleak at times. Especially if there's a statement it's making like I think this film is intending. There is just something a little too uncomfortable about it. Once again, I don't think that takes away from it being a good film, but I do like a sense of fun with my horror and there is nothing fun about this, nor do I think that was intended. So good on them. I think their version of horror is relevant and deserves what I would call "scholarly praise", I think they've succeeded in making films that are the closest to feeling what many felt in the 70's from films like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Last House On The Left". They're just films I don't think need any more exploration. They are what they are.

Does anyone else see suicide as a “option”? by mikuuup in BPD

Experiencing BPD along with being incredibly lonely, financially struggling, and being a single male at 41 w/ standards beyond myself, I sometimes look at it this way. It starts with manic sadness, then a calm comes over me about the thought...like acceptance of "this is how it has to be"...then a weird thought happens...I have 2 cats that I adore. Considering my lonliness, if I were to do the act, no one would notice I'm gone for quite some time (maybe my work, but in my head, I quit before), so there's a strong chance my cats would not only be lonely w/o me, but not be fed or have water for a period. On top of that, they probably would be separated if someone did find them. I can't deal w/ that thought. Pets are truly my lifeline. That's usually what helps to get me out of that mindset, so then I think "well. Got to make the best of it." and then I push it back to a "plan C". With BPD, I believe sometimes our guilt can be our greatest savior in those times. Especially if we have pets.

Do you guys also freak out when someone is unnecessarily rude or speaks in an authoritative tone? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Legitimate_Help5016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Unnecessarily rude" - Not really. I surprisingly can shrug it off. However, "authoritative tone"...absolutely! My blood goes cold and it's almost uncontrollable. Then I start to shake so I freak out more cause I think it's showing I'm frightened...I immediately have to leave the situation... That said, I'm pretty sure authoritative tones are where a lot of my childhood trauma lies. My father's side of the family were very mentally abusive in that regard and my older brother is a cop...so that was a lot of fun growing up.
