'Thanksgiving' was really fun. Some of the kills were nasty for sure but the humor in it was landing. It's a legit funny movie...

This is a GOAT-tier comedy horror to me...it's absolutely nuts.

Do you guys remember the Perfect Host? I saw it come up on HBO Max and gave it my first rewatch in a long time...The plot is kinda rubbish, but damn do I love this crazy movie.
Here's the trailer, I'd skip it since it kinda blows some of the weirdness that ensues. Just rest assured that this is a movie where a criminal needs to trick a homeowner while he hides out, and the homeowner turns out to be a weird dude. That allows a bunch of "will he get caught" tension early, and absolute madness once everyone's mask comes off...and if you're old enough to remember Frasier, yes that's Dr. Niles in a lead role.
The key to the movie is Niles' performance. David Hyde Pierce BODIES this movie, and basically steals every scene he's in. This is a dark-comedy/horror-comedy, so Pierce oversells a bunch of scenes, but that's about as effective as it could get. The script is strange, the plot and budget were limited, so having an actor go ALL OUT really helped carry this joint.
But be warned...it's low budget, you'll need to turn your brain off to accept some of the late-game contrivances (one twist in particular), and this isn't reinventing the wheel. But it's pure chaotic fun...it's just a wacky movie that I find kinda hilarious.

How come we never got a Jurassic Park Found Footage movie?

I watched some anime movies over the weekend. Looking to get into Wicked City, Demon City Shinjuku, and Perfect Blue this week. Madhouse looks like they've been on their shyt
Vampire Hunter D(1985)
This was one of the first anime anythings I ever watched as a kid. Back in the day the Sci-fi channel played this and Akira all the time. The movie was alright but I don't think it holds up over the years. A major plot point is that all the antagonist keep trying to get in this one girl's pants. The creature designs are still incredible.
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust(2000)
I rewatched this for the first time since it came out. This was
. I wish they still made R Rated action horror movies like this. This shyt was cinematic. I won't wait 24 years to see this again.
It was crazy I immediately recognized Pamela Aldon's voice as Leila after seeing her in some tv shows. The Gate 2 was pretty wild. I still like the first one more though.
Highlander: The Search for Vengeance(2007)
Yea this isn't horror but I don't care. This shyt was fire too. They finally made a good Highlander sequel. Some plot points I didn't like but the action and story were there for the most part. Again wish I could see live action movies like this. Highlander could also work like a video game. The story in this reminded me a little of Assassin's Creed where you got stuff going on in the past and the future. If they make it like Dark Souls or Devil May Cry when you get stronger and learn new attacks with each quickening you take
aight I did watch a real horror movie
The Suckling (1990)
Interesting concept of going to a whorehouse to get an abortion and the fetus becoming a monster to kill everyone. This could be remade today since abortion horror seems to be popping off. This is more fukkery than trying to really send a message. Much more like a Hellenhottor film than anything else, but that might just be the independent movie style of the time. There's a lot of actors that aren't Hollywood in this, and I always appreciate that. At the same time some of the acting was

Vampire Hunter D and Hellsing were FIRE vampire anime! Wicked City is...very extra. Perfect Blue is an all-time horror movie for me. Not just all-time horror anime, but purely an all-time horror movie. There are a handful of iconic Christopher Nolan moments, that are straight shot for shot pulled from Perfect Blue.I watched some anime movies over the weekend.

I also think Perfect Blue hits even more today as people are more aware of parasocial relationships than ever.

Have you watched Paprika? I saw the story synopsis and that seems very similar to inception. I'm not sure if its horror or not, but it came up when I googled their horror movies. I put that on the list. I should probably add The Cell on there too.

I've heard Paprika is more of a thriller/mystery with some horror elements. I haven't watched it, but I hear good things. Kon's anime series Paranoia Agent has some elements of psychological horror too. I remember watching it on Adult Swim when I was younger, and a couple of episodes creeped me out.
watch Black Friday, it’s basically that scene stretched into a movie with appearances from Michael Jai White & Bruce Campbellthat black Friday store scene had me rolling
‘Perfect Blue’ was my first foray into adult animation growing up. Had the occasional bump-in with raunchy humor in a late night cartoon, but nothing as disturbing as seeing the spiral of a beloved pop star.
In my eyes then, I was so used to seeing celebs portrayed as sunshine and rainbows in the media that I hardly ever thought of how much of a nightmare fame can be. Film opened my eyes in a lot of ways as a youngin’. This came before the Björk stalker case, too. Really had no business watching it then, but I’m glad I did.
The
was the exact moment I told myself this was gonna hit different. I love it when films just go for it and this one had plenty of those moments. All these years and it still has a unique way of invoking dread. I know Aronofsky borrowed heavy from it with ‘Black Swan’, but ‘Perfect Blue’ being animated benefitted the story better when it came to showcasing those surreal mind-games to the audience, IMO.

The elevator scene is soooo elite. I agree that animation was a benefit for Kon to really lean into the surrealism (like the way the killer floats and bounces around during the final chase sequence).‘Perfect Blue’ was my first foray into adult animation growing up.

It really is an incredible study of pressures from stardom and identity struggles. I really friggin love the movie.
