• This years Halloween viewings

    From Simon T@1:229/2 to All on Wednesday, November 01, 2017 02:11:18
    From: darkangel5@REMOVETHISBITlineone.net

    Decided rather than flitting between DVD (or indeed BD) movies and what
    was on TV, this Halloween I would see what was on Netflix.

    A good idea in principal, but usually I pick films I've seen before and
    know I'll enjoy. This year, I decided to take a punt on a few films I
    thought might be interesting, which turned out to be a huge mistake and
    ended up sticking a BD on.

    Things started quite well, watched the film "HUSH". Kind of like "You're
    Next", but the would be victim is a deaf girl who's fighting off a lone
    killer trying to break into her home.

    Next I decided to give "1922" a go, which was rather dull. Basically Tom
    Jane plays a farmer who decides to kill his wife, after she threatens to divorce him and sell her half of the property to some developer. Only
    for things to go horribly wrong for him soon after.

    Then I tried the film "HOLIDAYS", which was an anthology film made up of several short segments by different directors each one concentrating on
    a different holiday season (mothers day, easter, halloween, xmas etc).
    Not very entertaining a few interesting ideas in there, but not done
    very well and was a bit dissapointing.

    After that decided to give my new BD of "THE DEVILS RAIN" a go. Anything
    with William Shatner in has got to be creepy and it has Ernest Borgnine
    as an evil goat, so what more do you need?

    Lastly, ITV 4 were showing "DAWN OF THE DEAD" (2004). Hard to believe
    that film is over 13 years old now. OK, not as good as the original, but
    a bloody good action movie.

    And that was it for Halloween 2017.

    I also caught the annual Simpsons Halloween specials on Sky 1 and caught
    up on some episodes of "Stranger Things", "I Zombie" and "Scream"
    earlier in the day, so not a total loss, but not really enjoyed myself
    this year.

    i found the story where homer ate himself rather unpleasant - something
    about cannibalism always makes me feel queasy.

    Perhaps there's yet some human lurking within you? As an aside, but
    relevant: The last thing alt-J played last night was the Simpson's theme.

    Are you trying auto-cannibalism again?

    I watched The Ghoul (haven't got a clue whether I liked it because I
    don't know what the fuck it was about) and some middling paki Babadook
    rip off called Under the Shadow. Unfortunately my Flowers dvd didn't
    arrive in time. Saving that for this weekend.

    I thought THE GHOUL was shit. It was an interesting idea, but badly done.
    UNDER THE SHADOW wasn't great either. I haven't seen FLOWERS, but the description makes it sound like it will just be a bunch of women moaning
    about stuff.

    Reminds me I meant to post this occasionally interesting list of suggested Halloween streaming which has both of those.

    Gets an automatic pass from me for including TALE OF TWO SISTERS.
