Been on a VHS binge to prepare for V/H/S/Mixtape and upon rewatch, I forgot how batshit crazy 99 is!

But to Hell and Back is one of those segments that like Safe Haven, I wouldn’t have minded a full feature length.

Everything about this is so cool. The design, the sets, the pacing and Mabel is a scene stealer, one of my favorite found footage characters ever.

What a fun segment! Definitely in my top 5.

What’s a movie that always puts you on edge?

For me it’s the lake sequence in Zodiac (2007). One of the most anxiety fuel and unsettling movie scenes for me.

I was sweating throughout this moment. The slow burn and jarring sunny background unnerves me like crazy.

What’s that movie scene for you?

Memes aside, her performance here is one of my faves when it comes to sci-fi horror. She stole the movie!

Everyone talks about X and Pearl which she is fantastic, but she is just terrifying here. Unhinged and unpredictable.

If you love sci-fi horror, check out Brandon Cronenbergs Infinity Pool! One of the most surreal and messed up horror flicks I’ve seen in a while.

Been hearing alot about this film and finally got a chance to watch it on HBO max…

One of the strangest, most trippiest movies I’ve ever seen. No narrative structure whatsoever, just two sisters both named Marie who go all unhinged.

Abrupt color changes, bizarre sequences of food, mistimed sound effects and there’s a banquet sequence that’s just absolute bonkers.

One of the most chaotic and surreal films I’ve seen till now.

Casino Royale remains one of the best Bond films to date but what makes it so good is the on screen chemistry between Craig and Green.

Their moments of banter, teases and vulnerability are so spot on, you believe that they’re a legit couple.

The train sequence remains my favorite scene in the film and imo, Craig’s best Bond flick!

What’s your favorite movie where it takes a 180 in the third act and goes crazy?

Mine is From Dusk Till Dawn (1996). I will never forget my reaction when Salma Hayek turned into a vampire. I was flabbergasted!

Goes from a getaway crime thriller to a supernatural gore fest, but it still works!

What’s your favorite movie where the third act gets wild?

I love both the OG and the remake but what makes it stand out is it’s not a beat for beat copy, but a reimagining of the story that has its own visual flair!

Some of the sequences unsettled me like you cannot imagine, the last 15 minutes are some of the wildest I’ve ever seen in a horror movie!

Fantastic remake and Tilda Swinton is a scene stealer.

As much as I would’ve loved to see Netflix continue with another season, the way this ended was just perfect for me excluding the bullseye cliffhanger.

Matt’s faith is restored, Nelson and Murdock is back, Wilson is sent away for good and Matt has conquered his demons.

It’s a perfect ending.

Rewatched The Mist (2007) after such a long time, it’s been due for a rewatch.

Man… I don’t know where to begin with how much I hate her character! Just downright cruel and manipulative, the type of villain you love to hate.

How she uses religious fanaticism and hysteria to control everyone is frighteningly realistic.

Marcia Gay Garden crushes it, dominates the movie like no other!

Been a Refn fan for years. Decided to rewatch his entire filmography to prepare for her private hell…

And Only God Forgives is one of the strangest, most hypnotic films I’ve seen.

Grisly torture, sparse dialogue that feels awkward and sudden, the weird karaoke sequences, Chang acting like an avenging angel, fever dream esque aesthetic, Kristen Scott Thomas being unhinged, etc.

Just very surreal and disturbing.

What’s a movie franchise where the first movie absolutely nailed it but the follow ups were a major letdown?

For me it’s The Crow (1994). The original film is perfect and Brandon Lee is aces in the role. But all the sequels and reboots were just subpar or plain bad, especially the 2024 reboot.

What’s that one movie for you?

Been on a Robert Eggers binge watch to prepare for Werewulf and upon rewatching the witch, I was blown away at the Black Philip reveal!

The unsettling whispery voice, Thomasins reaction, the eerie aesthetic, etc. I was unnerved.

One of the best scenes in a Eggers film and A24 film in general. You really get that feeling of dread and evil when he’s revealed!

Huge Lynch fan here and been on a binge watch recently.

Rewatched Blue Velvet and I forgot just how evil and unpredictable Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth is!

Man he’s so despicable here. The sequence in the car with Dorothy and Jeffrey made my blood boil.

He absolutely crushes it in the role. An absolute scene stealer but man, I hated his character.

Been on a Nolan binge watch and upon rewatching Oppenheimer, I was blown away by RDJ’s performance.

It’s so subtle and restrained, but yet so intense! Just his mannerisms and cadence as Lewis Strauss is so spot on.

An absolute scene stealer and one of the best in a Nolan film!
