:ehh:Fun fact about Deep Blue Sea and Halloween H2O. Originally LL was supposed to die in both films. But test audiences loved bruh so much that the directors. Reworked the scripts for homie to survive.

I finally decided to dive into the madness of the J-Horror House (1977)...



I got cut off at about halfway through, but it's already one of the strangest films I've seen. It's weird, colorful, has that dream-quality some 70's horror had, and has a mix of really good visual moments and pre-CGI atrocities. I'ma finish it up and give more thoughts, so far...it's weird, but not in a bad way.

Dem Japanese been weirdos for a long time. Gotta wonder if the bombs caused them to develop wild fukkery. I still trip out over that umbrella Yokai monster. :heh:

Trick (2019)



popped up on my plex share and i gave it a spin

Can't believe i missed this when it first came out, it is actually.......good.... in an 80's throwback type of way
without giving to much away:
this is a competent slasher , bloody, gorier than expected, actually suspenseful
Got that Omar Epps Stimi
Great twist at the end , even though the motive behind what sets everything off is sketchy at best
if same creative team came back, i would not mind a sequel.


if you like slashers, and haven't peeped yet,
put it in the rotation, its worth a watch

It's genuinely one of the strangest experiences I've had viewing anything. The premise is easy enough to follow (the House is eating the people), but everything that happens is weird AF. Like, wtf is going on with the watermelon dude and the teacher that randomly turns into bananas :mjlol:

But I kinda get the cult status of everything. It has a bit of Evil Dead, some Giallo coloration, and a ton of humor.


Some backstory: I did some looking into the creation of it, and I really like the story behind the movie's creation. The dude that put it together based a bunch of the plot on ideas from his nine year old daughter (makes sense). None of the directors for the production company would touch the script, but this dude kept pushing to get it made. So two years pass with nothing happening, and the brass at the company are looking at a series of flops. They go "whatever we think should work flops...let's just let this guy make his movie we're sure will flop and see if the opposite happens again."

So, since none of the company directors would touch it (they thought it'd ruin their careers), the company just let's the writer double as director. He ASKS for the gaudy/bad effects to add to the "this is child's fever-dream" vibes. No one thinks the movie will succeed, critics TRASH it...and it becomes a success with the public audience anyway. Critics start to show love for it as the years pass, and when it finally gets an American release in the 00's, it gets even more love.

And now we have a cult-classic. Honestly, I think the history of the movie is better than the film itself.

Seen it a few years ago when it showed up at Dollar Tree. I thought the story and plot were whatever, but the gore was solid.

Here's one I've been looking forward to, and that finally drops on Shudder this Friday. I know it's been posted before, but since it's about to come out, here's a reminder.

Little Bites:
In a desperate attempt to protect her ten-year-old daughter, a young widow allows a nightmarish monster to slowly eat her alive.
