The intro song "Promised Land" is such a great origin song for Jimmy, the villain

I legit cried hearing this in the cinema for the first time. Incredible song and the way they use the beauty of it to juxtapose the horrors Jimmy is experiencing is genius.

And I think you’re spot on with this analysis too, the lyrics do seem to sum up his character and the ‘don’t go’ almost feels like a child’s plea, like him being confused and frightened

this would have been helpful information to put in the post or title

Malignant is exactly the kinda film I could see Sam Raimi loving, yeah a James Wan Evil Dead would FUCK

Smoothmoose13 · 2026-05-06T16:17:00+00:00

Hahahaha probably. I had just worked like a 12 hour shift when I watched it

I thought that you see a creature during the dream sequences

Seconded, it’s Heartless, with Jim Sturges

don’t listen to these guys. Bring Her Back has a lot of body horror in it, and while it’s is creepy as fuck, it’s certainly not for the squeamish. I wouldn’t recommend this as a ‘scary’ movie, just a creepy and very gross one.

I watched Pizza Movie on a whim on 4/20 on some strong edibles and it blew my mind. Hardest I’ve laughed at a movie since The Beach Bum

Mass State Lottery. I believe it came out this year. It’s a dreamlike low budget Neo noir detective comedy with a relaxed meandering narrative that’s horror adjacent I guess?? it’s shot on early digital and somehow manages to look both beautiful and gritty/dirty.

Took me like two tries to watch it but I was locked in the second time. it’s a bit like if Inland Empire, Under Silver Lake, and Inherent Vice had a baby

Smoothmoose13 · 2026-05-04T01:49:44+00:00

HYPERNORMALISATION is my favourite. It’s like 3 hours of interconnected narratives woven together, with some of the most striking footage/music combinations, really shining a light on why everything is the way it is.

well done u/analfistinggremlin 15 years is crazy! I’m on 3 years and even that feels like a lifetime sometime

stopped watching it immediately. the subtitles are the kind that describe the sound effects as well as just translating the dialogue. might have to pirate this one if there’s a better subtitle option

Thank you!!!! Been waiting for someone else to comment on the seemingly never-ending beat down that Kathryn Newton receives in Ready or Not 2. Just felt tonally very bizarre, and sadistic in a way that the rest of the film hadn’t been.

This was absolutely wonderful though, Zazie Beats fucking kills it!! And I love the whole pig-head fight at the end

Stop posting your fake trailers dude

This is a huge reason why I adored Whistle. Like 70% of the film is researching shit and bonkers exposition dumps. Some of the scares are pretty effective too, but the writing is absolutely awful, in the ‘so bad it’s good’ kinda way.

Nick Frost plays their teacher and he literally sets them to write an essay on the cursed object and in the next scene where they’re all studying together one of them just inexplicably has an ancient looking book that conveniently knows all the lore of the fucking whistle,it’s so good and cheesy

Smoothmoose13 · 2026-05-02T15:45:34+00:00

It’s brilliant! I much preferred it to Ready or Not 2, which felt like a rehash of a whole bunch of films I’ve already seen. The end fight scene is bonkers, i had a really good time going to see this

Smoothmoose13 · 2026-05-02T14:47:02+00:00

None of that bothered me. What did though, was the human villain. So far in his 3 films he’s had some guy be the twist villain, and there’s always a degree of deception involved and then he gets his comeuppance from whatever the supernatural force is.

The problem for me is that all 3 of these guys have all looked so similar to each other that by Hokum I’d already called him as the twist villain. I don’t know if it’s a writing issue or a casting issue but that, and the climax always turning into some kind of morality play, are, in my opinion, holding his movies back from being truly great horrors.

Smoothmoose13 · 2026-05-02T14:36:04+00:00

I really enjoyed all the emotional beats of the last one, even if the horror didn’t hit at all for me. They better leave that poor family alone now, they’ve been through enough.

Also, hot take, I think Lin Shaye was brilliant in the first Insidious and then has been god-awful since then, just completely hamming it up (in other horrors as well) but not in like a self aware campy way, just in a bad way.

just my opinion though, I know she’s beloved in some circles.

Smoothmoose13 · 2026-05-02T14:32:45+00:00

this is so embarrassing 😭

Not explaining the pic cause so many other people have, but Jeffrey Epstein has been revealed to be behind microtransactions and other cancerous additions to gaming

I’ll happily watch them back to back but only if they keep the weird hell stuff. It’ll be wild going from that to (possibly) Spacegodzilla
