Sam Raimi HAS to get a spot on any October list. I haven't revisited Drag me to hell in a long time, so I'm kinda hype to jump back in. Plus, it makes a bit of a funny food connection out of the first two movies for week 2 (cannibal holocaust and Drag me to hell...maybe we should slip a Texas Chainsaw Massacre in there )

This was a weird movie - Perpetrator

Jonny Baptiste is a reckless teen sent to live with her estranged Aunt Hildie. On the event of her 18th birthday, she experiences a radical metamorphosis: a family spell that redefines her called Forevering. When several teen girls go missing at her new school, a mythically feral Jonny goes after the Perpetrator.

This is another one for the "well, I guess it wasn't bad" section; but I'll give it more credit for creativity. It's a coming of age analogy, with a great lead performance and Alicia Silverstone giving some really interesting monologues along the way. But it also feels like there were disagreements about what tone the movie should take. Sometimes it's really dark; other times, it's going for pure humor. That disjointedness goes into some of the events in the story too...things just happen really fast, without feeling earned.

I'm sure there's a lot of symbolic good in there for discerning viewers that take to the lead character. There's an interesting "trait" that I haven't seen in other horrors before. But shyt gets weird and incoherent at times, and the twists didn't work for me. I bet it'll find an audience, but that wasn't me.

Man, I have been waiting for Eli Roth's slow ass to make this damn Thanksgiving movie since 2007.

I like Perpetrator but I agree with your points about the tone being uneven (I hate when a horror-comedy can't find the right balance of funny to scary) and the disjointedness of the story which I felt was really evident in the stuff with her mom.

Dario Argento's Deep Red...I think its still on Shudder and available for free on Plex, Vudu and Pluto.

Yeah, the mom felt like such a waste of potential as a character. I wonder if there's a director's cut that fills in a few of the blanks but makes the movie longer than producers wanted. I want to check for Jennifer Reeder's past work now. I'll take flawed films with clear and unique POVs any chance I can get!

Hell yeah, an Argento classic that I haven't seen. I think it was @The Collector that mentioned doing an Argento binge soon. Considering my appreciation for Suspiria, I should probably do the same.

Let’s hope they didn’t show all the kills in that minute clip.
