Quote:After losing his wife and his memory in a car accident, a single father undergoes an agonizing experimental treatment that causes him to question who he really is.
The horror element is certainly there with a tinge of weird, though its nature is more psychological. There's also a mystery to solve, and that's always fun.
Evil, doctor, bad! Basically, a mother's love gone over to the dark side.
Quote:A group of four amateur adventurers who specialize in exploring remote and forsaken places pay a visit to Shookum Hills, a town in the remote Appalachian Mountains, which was abandoned decades ago due to a mysterious coal mine fire.
Cute guy Eric dies too quickly. By which I mean, I wanted to see more of him.
Otherwise, a very promising beginning for the film. I'm uncertain as to why it's rated so low on IMDB, because I've seen movies with horrible acting rated higher.
Unfortunately, they had to go the cliche route of making the black guy the superstitious one.
I cannot imagine a simple grate holding the monsters at bay, from rising out of the hole, so my guess is that the film is relying on the folklore that iron repels evil.
The creature is operating a boat, really?
The underground hive reminds me of the Darkspawn from the Dragon Age games.
And clearly those aren't creatures of Hell if fire is being used to kill them.
If anything, it was probably the ending people are rating rather than the entire movie itself.
Nice! I do enjoy Appalachian creepy stuff. There seems to be a lot of it. I'll give it a watch and let you know! Also, I'm still intending to watch Lights Out and Black Box. I just need to find time.
The Falls, a 3-hour encyclopedia of 92 people affected by something called the Violent Unknown Event, and a film I’m almost certain would never have been made by anyone who didn’t have autism. Naturally, I love it.
The Draughtsman’s Contract, easily the sanest of his works that I’ve seen, and it still has things like a man who pretends to be a statue and eavesdrops on the characters for some reason.
A Zed and Two Naughts, about twin zoologists who become obsessed with time-lapse films of decomposition after their wives die in a car crash, plus amputations.
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, probably the most straightforwardly-plotted of his films, but no less bizarre, and extremely disturbing.
Prospero’s Books, an adaptation of The Tempest where John Gielgud plays Prospero, who does every voice in the film, and gets full frontal (also, did I mention Gielgud was in his mid-80s at this point)?
The Baby of Macon, a mix of the most horrific parts of mother!, religious allegory, and that one time I went to see Edward II at Chicago Shakespeare and the audience had to walk around the set. It was banned in America for a bit over a quarter century before it finally got a VOD release last year.
There’s more, but A lot of it’s hard to find, especially the post-Macon films, but Amazon Prime has a documentary about him called The Greenaway Alphabet, which might help explain why his films are the way they are, and will likely erase any doubts that he’s on the autism spectrum.
Here’s a clip of one of his most famous sequences:
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.
