Caught Night of the Hunter for the first time years ago and that movie is so far ahead of it's time with it's visuals there are scenes in there that almost look new. or "modern".'
The Honeymoon Killers is a strange movie I caught well over ad decade ago on TMC and you can see how it influenced movies like Man Bites Dog and Natural Born Killers.

The Night of The Hunter is a classic. It's in my top 5 favorite movies.
Robert Mitchum's performance is so great and the use of shadows and light as well as the way director Charles Laughton used visual inspiration from silent films and the theater were genius.

@MartyMcFly Did you see this??
June 25th- Hulu
BS2 is starting off crazy- it’s like these zombies are pumped up on adderal and steroid injections. That run fast asf and breAk through doors and windows with their bodies. Sheeeesh. Like if Walking Dead actually had action scenes with people fighting zombies
To add- The first few minutes of this are shown from the first person perspective of the zombie chasing people down - that’s different.BS2 is starting off crazy- it’s like these zombies are pumped up on adderal and steroid injections.

If you haven’t watch BS [1] which i didn’t .- well not all of the eps. No need to go back to watch or catch up. Here’s a good recap of that season
I didn't peep it yet but I got a notification from buzzfeed talking about it. I don't even know if I want to see that shyt

I watched Sacrifice...it starts with a send-up to Lovecraftian horror and Barbara Crampton pops up early-on in a legitimate role. So that got me in the door to give this joint a shot. I didn't enjoy it.
My summary: A man inherits his parents' home in some small Norwegian town unexpectedly. He and his pregnant wife head to the town to look at the place and sell it, but find out that his parents had quite a bit of history there. The couple also discovers that people in this town have a special religion that worships the Slumbering One aka our Cthulu stand-in. As they stay longer, the husband becomes more engrossed in the culture of his birthplace while the wife is weary of the place between her nightmares and the strange behavior of everyone in town.
Let's start on the positive...good sound and music, solid editing, and the director had some shots that I really liked (if you can make boiling eggs ominous, then I respect your framing).
The bad...not enough happens. It's a lot of awkard and ominous conversations and the scare scenes are all dream sequences which removes any stakes. I kept waiting for a big reveal or moment, and was disappointed that it never really delivered. It's all build-up and the payoff didn't hit hard enough imo. The whole thing hinged on bad decisions and convos that were probably intended to be "creepy" felt more awkward than anything. It also didn't really hit the Lovecraftian staples well enough imo. I stan a good Lovecraft "the unknowable drives us mad" narrative, but this one mostly used Lovecraft's inspiration for a setting and some tentacle references. Lovecraft evokes fear with cosmic entities beyond our understanding, and knowledge that we are insignificant as an insect in the scheme of things...the tentacles are cool imagery and fishing villages can be creepy, but they aren't what gets me into the Lovecraftian approach to horror.
All in all, I can't really throw a suggestion to even watch this. It's about an hour and a half build to a payoff that doesn't deliver. I think a lot of love and care did go into the direction and sounds of this movie, but the story needed a faster pace or more action to really hit. Unless you stan Crampton to the heavens, i'd hard pass this. She's always fun to watch but only has a few major scenes.
