2024 October Challenge Discussion Thread

Only time for two movies today, so starting with the 1948 British film House of Darkness. Hope it's worth it, as some British films from around that time period can come across as stuffy (the 1950 Fall of the House of Usher, for instance).

in the end credits, it's called "saturday night clever". is that typo just for amazon or is it further than that?

Huh? What end credits? Of the movie or is it on amazon?

The correct spelling is "Cleaver"

I just remembered last year I bought The Poop's Exorcist with Russell Crowe and never got around to watching it for last year's challenge. How good is it?

russell crowe gives a really fun performance. i think that's worth the view by itself.

So I popped in the DVD and fast forwarded to the end and they spelled their own title wrong. lol

spookies is cool stuff so far. it could fit in with what charles band was doing in the 80s.

This was a lot of fun. Apparently this was Laurence Harvey's first role (he was later in movies like Welcome to Arrow Beach and Night Watch), but he knocked it out of the park. Not a great movie, but I had a decent amount of fun with it.

Went with No One Will Save You

that aside, it worked for me. i'm reading critics saying there were too many creatures running around, that it was a slow boring version of the evil dead. etc. but i didn't get that from it.

Some weird shit

Lets give the Foo Fighters horror movie Studio 666 a try

[Jigsaw]

Nijiotoko, or The Rainbow Man, was quite an interesting movie. A bit like an old dark house mystery, with a dysfunctional family, mistaken identities, and family secrets. Had more fun with it than I thought, especially for a 1949 Japanese movie.

Took the wife this time. She can watch paranormal and possession movies and sleep without a problem but body horror she can't handle. She about walked out at the end.

I knew she'd like the personality clash aspect of it (she's a therapist) and does find enjoyment in just about any movie. I just refrained from telling her about the crazy gross stuff.

She wanted to see the new Joker movie and when she saw the awful reviews I told her Substance was the shit and I'd see it again since it's been extended another week in my area.
