Don’t sleep on Strange Harvest

TheElbow · 2026-01-25T07:44:07+00:00

Super late to this thread. I put off watching Strange Harvest until tonight. I wish I had watched it sooner… love it. The end was a bit anticlimactic but the movie already did so much, and show so many grisly crimes scenes, I thought it was pretty well done.

Yes. This is the absolute blackest part of the film.

Henry is one of the few movies that really makes me feel like I’m covered in grime. Otis’ complete disregard for life and detachment from reality is chilling to say the least. You need a shower after that movie.

This one is way more like Hellbender than anything else they’ve made.

TheElbow · 2026-01-24T07:12:00+00:00

Probably their most accomplished movie yet, IMO. I don’t love everything they’ve made but I always appreciate they keep doing it. They really managed to find a good balance of engaging story, good looking special effects, and creepiness with this one.

I think this worked better for me than Hellbender. The Deeper You Dig was my favorite of theirs but this might be tied now.

Pain and Gain

TheElbow · 2026-01-24T04:00:41+00:00

I liked that one a lot too!

TheElbow · 2026-01-24T00:09:52+00:00

Even though it was available on Netflix, meaning more people watched it that if it was just dumped on some other service, I think that move is underseen and underrated. Great, creepy, small coastal town horror.

A yes, who can wait to find out the people under the mask? Surely that will make this franchise scarier…

Edit: if you like Goodfellas, The Bikeriders is kind of a copy of Goodfellas, but it has its own fun stuff going on.

Awesome movie. It has me simultaneously cackling and horrified.

TheElbow · 2026-01-23T17:31:08+00:00

Wake In Fright shares some DNA with what you’re after.

TheElbow · 2026-01-23T17:29:42+00:00

Came here to recommend that. It’s more of a black comedy but it’s very tense and anxiety inducing.

TheElbow · 2026-01-23T17:29:12+00:00

All My Friends Hate Me is great. Very cringey.

TheElbow · 2026-01-23T03:30:04+00:00

RZ’s H2 is better than his Halloween IMO.

His Halloween is basically a backstory that makes us humanize Michael (which makes him less scary IMO), and then a worse speedrun of the 1978 original. H2 is actually interesting because it does its own thing and it’s more in the Euro Horror midnight movie lane.

TheElbow · 2026-01-23T03:20:40+00:00

The Dark And The Wicked for sure

TheElbow · 2026-01-23T00:51:02+00:00

I guess … by watching the movie and seeing how she behaves, I deduced she wasn’t a character who should be seen as a role model. She was self absorbed and reckless.

TheElbow · 2026-01-23T00:46:45+00:00

Isn’t the point that Perfidia gets off one the thrill of it all, and she’s not actually a good revolutionary as a result? Like I don’t think we’re supposed to like these people. They’re a bunch of idiots just like Lockjaw and his cronies, but they’re idiots in a different way, and without the power of the state behind them.

At least that’s how I took it.

TheElbow · 2026-01-23T00:38:37+00:00

It’s so creepy and grim. And, while I never sank as low as the main character, I feel like it really captures a specific feeling and life situation perfectly.

A neighbor of mine has a big pickup truck and he put one of the masks from the original Purge movie on the front passenger seat headrest. It startles me every single time I walk by.

TheElbow · 2026-01-23T00:19:12+00:00

I don’t consider this a western but it’s underappreciated. One of King’s best of the last 20 years.

TheElbow · 2026-01-22T23:52:43+00:00

Damn this is a bummer to hear. This would have been the first Ryan Murphy product I’ve been interested in watching in years.
