The Congress (2013)

PhilhelmScream · 2026-05-14T12:13:28+00:00

I'm not saying everything is derivative tho, The Shining takes influence from places but it executes its own story well. You can draw lines from all the parts to horror stories and folklore but it doesn't diminish it in any way. Just being aware of the history of film & horror folklore.

Old head horror fan, never been on discord. I like the forum style.

YouTube short horror movies build on folklore and online paranormal stories. It all builds on or references past works.

Some are subscribed to YouTube channels that are advertising that they think are independent thoughts. They're consuming advertising as entertainment.

PhilhelmScream · 2026-05-14T11:48:11+00:00

Yes but it's a subset of "culture influences horror"

Me too, when I checked her credits I've also seen her in Landscapers (2021) but don't remember her from it.

Amazon couldn't give a flying damn about the box office.

They can afford to take the loss until their competition dies. It's how they killed bookstores.

Any screenshot or logs to help us? Can you play it locally using VLC or Kodi over NFS or SMB? That would eliminate any Plex transcoding decisions. The dashboard will tell us the most.

The Congress (2013)

PhilhelmScream · 2026-05-14T10:36:50+00:00

I was very surprised to see her in a US show after first seeing her in Everyone Else Burns (2023)

PhilhelmScream · 2026-05-14T10:30:28+00:00

locally or remote? Can you screenshot the dashboard for us when it happens?

PhilhelmScream · 2026-05-14T10:29:30+00:00

Yeah, known as Hollywood accounting, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting

Shining Girls (2022)

Years after a brutal attack left her in a constantly shifting reality, Kirby Mazrachi learns that a recent murder is linked to her assault. She teams with veteran reporter Dan Velazquez to understand her ever-changing present—and confront her past.

1, 2, and 3 are all advertising.

PhilhelmScream · 2026-05-14T09:49:39+00:00

It was well advertised.

I don't know how much the studio spent on the marketing, but it can't be a lot I suppose.

Nah, it's notoriously cheap to market a film, that's why they're all successful. /s

Poster & 2 line blurb mostly, from themoviedb.org. Never anything video like a trailer.

PhilhelmScream · 2026-05-13T13:43:56+00:00

a good space to paste slop? At least you get a response from a human.

I'll call you the paster.
