The House of the Cuckoo Birds (1965) wasn't great, but I enjoyed the atmosphere and setting. Decent climax, likely inspired by Psycho, I imagine. Nice proto-slasher.

is that the nest of the cuckoo birds? if not, i can't seem to find anything on it.

Sorry, yeah, my mind's in another world. I was close, though.

indeed. close enough. looks like it's on youtube if this is right.

i'll have to add it to the list to watch.

all you need is death is great at building intrigue and atmosphere. definitely holding my interest, but i'm not exactly sure what's going on. maybe it will all come together and resolve itself in the last half hour.

it's an odd film. i look forward to watching again,

Loved Abigail

starting now. i hope i like it just as much.

[zombie]

ohh. this is the film they stepped away from scream 7 to do? and melissa barrera is in it too. cool stuff.

So...Killing of a Sacred Deer is "what if What About Bob is a horror movie?"

I feel like that's an insult to What About Bob.

They should've taken Baby Steps.

I don't get the hype around Barrera.

That's the copy I watched. Some of the audio is a bit muffled (despite the fact this is a restored version of the film from 2017), and I think it's on Mubi (?), but I can't say if the print they have is different.

She's ok nothing really stands out. I much prefer Kathryn Newton

enh, i just liked her in the two scream movies. i haven't seen her in anything else, until now.

Same, and even her in those two Scream movies, I think she was out-acted by virtually everyone. She has quite the monster-following online acting like she is the best new Scream Queen she should be bowed to. Meanwhile, I'm like "she's not even the sister I want to see Survive..."

[zombie]

i haven't seen that level of hype, with her. i don't think that of her. i just liked her character in scream 5 and 6. i don't like how she was booted out of the franchise, and it's nice seeing her in something else by those guys. that's all.

Ah, Maximum Overdrive

I haven't seen Evil Dead Trap is it more Evil Deadish than this?

The quality between this and Shocker, and being so close together, really shows how far Wes could swing in quality when he gave a rat's ass lol.

He actually put a lot time and prep into Shocker, he envisioned it to be a series, film and TV. I'm not seeing that either, but he was ambitious and swinging with this one.

Which is why it's so confusing the background effort, vs the final project, because it reeks of half-ass-dom lol.

Just noticed one of the names of the employes at the Dixie Boy is named Gene Poole. Punny, you King :p

Man, in 2019's tally, I did 31 new-watches in a row to start? Damn.

Talk to Me 4k was just delivered so I'm starting that now
