Yeah man. Seems like the sort of thing a talented edgelord film student would make.
Glad to see he's reeled in some of the shock-for-shock's sake that is that short film since. There's still shocking content in his movies but it serves the story instead of being the entire story.

Thats such a terrifying visual I'd probably have a panic attack if I was asked to do a scene like that with it lol.
Wouldn't even require any acting Id shit my pants right there on the spot.

They do have a bona fide serial killer.
Im pretty sure one of the Sea World orcas killed like 3 trainers.
Or it was 2 trainers and a drunk that fell in the tank or something.
Either way get him some theme music and hockey mask.

I really like the setting. I just hope it captures the quality of the first season and avoids the identity‑politics focus of season 2. I think the chances are pretty good.

seriously i feel the same. hereditary was the movie that made me fall back in love with horror. obviously saw the exorcist but probably didn't have the impact on me as people who saw it when it came out or around about then. i grew up watching horror movies with my mum.
hereditary made me want to find something else to scratch that itch. there are some really good movies i found because of it. I loved Midsummar and wish Ari Aster would do another true horror. The closest thing is probably Robert Eggers. The Witch, The Lightouse, Nosferatu are some of my favourites.
i still enjoy crappy cheap horrors but i want something that absolutely fucks with my head so that i never forget about it. Hereditary might just be my favourite horror of all time.

I spent a couple of minutes watching this before I clicked reply, and then another couple before I started typing.

I remember the first time I watched this, I decided that, vampire or not, going balls deep would be worth whatever happened after.
Days like these...
Have a Blessed Day
Bring her Back, Saint Maud, When Evil Lurks, Terrified and The Medium all felt like a punch to the gut.

I liked the remake and enjoyed Rise.
I haven't seen Infested which i think is this directors only other film but it's supposed to be pretty good. Jury's out but I have a soft spot for the franchise as the OG was my first horror film (at the age of 7, thanks Dad lol).

HOKUM
this mf right here creep the fuck out of me.
Absolute banger. Loved every minute of it. I have to say the progression of this directors movies has been really strong, he's got better each time and is really good at creating tension and unsettling scenes. Caveat was good, Oddity was great, Hokum is a borderline masterpiece. I have my dislikes here and there but by todays standards we don't get many genuinely creepy and disutrbing films anymore.
9/10

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Welcome to the Occult Forest: The Movie (2022)
This was a wild ride - my son and I have been on a big Kôji Shiraishi kick lately, so we decided to check out this film where it's all first-person and the director is a self-insert character of a washed up horror movie director. This goes in some strange and unexpected directions, and has some silly moments. A few good scares, but mostly cheesy.
What's wild is how the cut the film together. There are several segments, especially towards the beginning of the film, that are single continuous cuts - in one case a single cut was nearly 30 minutes long. Other times they would hide cuts by having the POV cam break out into a run and get super jerky before splicing in the next cut that starts with the jerky running cam. So although the movie isn't all that serious, there is some actually impressive cinematography happening.
Like most of this guy's movies, though, it's low budget and the CGI is terrible.
Worth sticking it out for the ending though.
thats Shawnee Smith, my absolute FAVORITE crush as a kid, from The Blob, to Who's Harry Crumb, and all her smaller roles. Had a chance to talk to her at a con once, but totally chickened out as I didn't want to come across so creepy fanboi-like.

I've seen The Blob on VHS once upon a time but I have no recollection of the movie. It's just one of those old movies you can't remember. But that's why we revisit them. She totally went under my radar.thats Shawnee Smith, my absolute FAVORITE crush as a kid, from The Blob, to Who's Harry Crumb, and all her smaller roles.

It's low key the BEST REMAKE EVER, since the original Blob is a big joke, only remembered for Steve McQueen in his debut. The 80's remake is fantastic. Was one of my most rewatched films as a kid, not only just because Shawnee was in it

From Hereditary to now = Golden age.
The 80s had more iconic and memorable villains, but the movies themselves are objectively just fucking better NOW.
It was good, and they at least tried something different.I want to watch Undertone but I think it's just gonna be another wet fart

Wet Fart comfirmed. Movie was a mess. Had to google it afterwards and even the internet doesn't know what the fuck went on. Had a good atmosphere with the sound in places, but thats about it.I want to watch Undertone but I think it's just gonna be another wet fart

Agreed, as I posted a page or so back. it's like someone took an internet creepypasta thread of reddit and tried to make a movie out of it. Just trash honestly.
Hokum on the other hand is a gem, a really creepy folklore horror. I'm not seeing any horrors on the horizon that may beat it on movie of the year

They Will Kill You (2026)
Shite. Absolute Shite.
You know when a film comes out and has some success... the imitations show up. Sometimes they're actually pretty decent (e.g. of all the John Wick imitators, Nobody was pretty damn good), while unfortunately most are just average. A rare few though are just dogshit from writers and directors who have no clue about what made the original good and instead think they can just ape the key themes and walk away a winner. They Will Kill You is the latter.
Ripping off Ready or Not, we get a terribly concieved film made by a director who clearly had a thing for Kill Bill but didn't even understand what made the action or fights in those films good either. What we get is a truly unbelievable protagonist played by Zazie Beetz who, thanks to having spent 10 years in jail, now apparently has more skills than professional assassins, jumping between over the top fights backed by jarring music playing off against some truly badly written "humor"
Extra fail points for Patricia Arquette's dire Irish accent.

Got to agree with this. Least scary scary movie I've seen in many years. I can only assume there was some sneaky marketing and bots in play creating the hype for Undertone.
