Just came from the cinema, watched The Substance. It’s got a good goofball factor I b was not expecting, with a toon of body dysmorphic gore. Feels like some on here might appreciate it.

Jason has seen it 18 times already. Too much talking for Jiggy.

I mean if you’re a fan of Margaret Qualley or Andie McDowell there’s a lot of nudity and skimpy thong shots of her to enjoy. But it fits well into the classic gore overload horror I really like. Would recommend

Looking forward to Army of Darkness when I get home

i'm sure that i've seen silent night bloody night, but couldn't tell you a thing about it.

though now i could tell you it has a 2014 sequel that i know i've never seen.

Actually there's three sequels. The 2013 UK film that's a sequel to the original and then there's the 2015 US sequel to the original and US part 3 comes out this year.

who knew that silent night bloody night would rival the evil dead in number of entries.

when did bloody disgusting get into the asian horror movie buisness? cube and now body parts...i don't like either.

Giallo day here. Have five gialli lined up (three new watches, two rewatches), and starting off with the ever-classic 6 donne per l'assassino (Blood and Black Lace).

I'm pretty sure I usually watch this English dubbed, because there's a plot point I miss out on when I go with subtitles, but to stay authentic to the Italian I'll be hearing all day, I'm going with subtitled.

Here's one reason:

When Peggy's reading Isabella's diary, for some reason, what she's reading doesn't have subtitles. Had to switch over to the dubbed version to understand what the diary entry was about.

Diary was burned shortly thereafter, but something I'll keep an eye out for.

I may do a Mario Bava today too. I just got Black Sabbath on Blu-ray

Next up, the somewhat obscure 1975 The Skin Under the Claws (or La pelle sotto gli artigli).

I've only seen the American cut of Black Sabbath. Can't say I love it. I always wondered if the original Italian print would help much, but I've not of yet seen it. Of the three stories, I honestly only particuarly loved one, so throwing them in another order might not do a ton for me. *shrugs*

Would like to get to 100 but cutting it very close.

Movie #72: Evil Dead Rise (2023).

Least favorite of the bunch. Not a whole lot I liked about this movie, but I did love the end of the opening scene and the text of the movie rising up over the hills.

[Jason]

This, to be precise...

[zombie]

starting evil dead rise and then going in reverse order.

[zombie]

have to say i don't exactly like the tease of the evil dead force being just the flight path of a drone.

I forgot they put a little politics in this.

The littlest girl's Australian accent is slipping out a little.

triangular shaped cabin gives me midsommar vibes.

I might have to pause here and there, so we might get synced up at some point. Coincidentally I started the movie just before the 10:00 hour (your time). So I'm 20 minutes in.
