It's a virtual planetoid!

Head! Down! Now!

Personally i don't think the Daniel Radcliffe version even comes close to the 1989 tv film

The ‘89 version scared the crap out of me

Preach it, Sam! We need to ban that phrase: elevated horror. Anyway, very nice teaser review! I can't wait to see the film; unfortunately, because of my schedule I'll probably have to wait for streaming. I hope Eggers supervises the transfer to home media to get that atmospheric look right for television. Apparently, Eggers has promised an extended cut of the film for blu-ray!

Loved this film. I've never seen the originals so went in with no idea of how it should play out so I'm excited to back and watch the original and previous remakes. Also never seen a Robert Eggers film before so will have to check out his back catalogue

I’m sorry the reduced level of underwater scenes or “monster tears things up” episodes isn’t your cup of tea. For me, this last installment takes an excellent, dark psychological turn vis a vis “man’s intrusion into nature” and turns the Creature into a truly sympathetic figure. And you were disappointingly “shocked” by the abrupt ending? It’s the ambiguity that makes it work, fer crissakes. A much cooler way to go out than the usual, expected “rampage.” But that’s just me.

I am so glad RFK Jr is standing up with Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Whenever the Elites value our money more than our lives, don't be surprised when they kill us for their own good. They need to add Thomas Sowell. We need to eat organic fruits and vegetables. ❤

I love this movie so much it’s like Corpse Bride and Heathers in one

Defoe is hilarious in this. it's astounding. going 1922 Nosferatu and this film back-to-back is an excellent double feature

2004 is the best

always loved dafoe in this role... a true period horror story

Don't know why this showed up in my feed, but I'm glad it did! Great review!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. You may receive extra rations this month

Once again congratulations for well-researched study on an obscure film. I managed to download a copy of this film a month ago in preparation for Eggers' Nosferatu (2024). I saw the film upon its release and enjoyed it very much especially Defoe's performance. Rewatching now, I'm less enthused but I still found the ending having the same powerful effect on me. The idea that film achieves immortality for its subject by capturing time and defeating death is very moving because that is the essence of art. Best version of Nosferatu is obviously the original ( I can't stand Herzog's colorized version of it) which was a more documentary approach to horror than the studio shot German Expressionist films of UFA. I can't wait to see the new film and pray that is different enough from the original to justify Eggers need to do a remake of this classic. I hope you guys do a review of the new film upon its release! Merry Christmas!!!

check out RKO 281

This looks great. Shame it's so hard to find.

I saw the first movie as a young teenager. I thought that the "...in the house" trope is handled in a clever way. The lead actress communicates the emotional tension brilliantly.

Bro the trapdoor spider punch the person

I'm not a fan of either movie because the story works best as a short film. In fact, I think Scream is the best loose remake of When A Stranger Calls which Kevin Williamson stole from. Another similar film is Ti West's House of the Devil (2009) where a college girl through a flyer is falsely led by the creepy owners to believe that it is a babysitting job; instead she is caring for their unseen elderly mother living upstairs. Interestingly the movie has the grainy film look of a lost low-budget 80s horror film that you'd only find as a rental at your local video store!

Is this movie series where one of the vampires squeezes into a jail cell vent (I think) and crawls through it?

Evil dead 4 hail to the king baby ash vs hellraiser

Nah it aint scary its funny

LoL you do it a lot mate . i noticed it before you mention it . i do it myself its just cause you are passionate about what you are taking about but its always good to check yourself - fairplay

Exorcist 3 is the best movie overall. The opening of the first Exorcist is perfect and the story between the characters leading up to the exorcism is well done but the exorcism itself is kinda hammy and cringe. Exorcist 2 is like everything else that John Boorman has directed in that you can see the outline of what he was trying to do and it's an interesting outline but everything just came out all goofy.

The exorcist film came out after the Zodiac killings. Dahmer mentioned the Exorcist III as one of, if not, his favorite movie. I still think that theatrical cut is way better. The other could have been I guess if it was finished properly. And I think most people that have seen both prefer the theatrical.

This movie is so slow and cringe, dull and DRAGS ITS ASS for like two and a half hour. Its only saving grace is GCS and a scene (or shot, really) that literally last less than 3 seconds. EDIT: Also, seems they went out of their way to get a PG rating, cus they skip EVERY kill scene, only to "describe it" in the dialogue after the fact. What? I don't want to see a horror movie where they "describe" the murder scenes😂😅, SHOW! the murder scene.

Excellent overview of the true sequel to The Exorcist. Blatty as writer/director brings a more sober meditation about good and evil than the more bombastic original. The acting all around is excellent with Scott putting in a very committed performance and of course, the very underrated Brad Dourif gives his own career best achievement. The only fumble is the unnecessary exorcism forced on Blatty by the studio but other than that his directing is masterful. Now I want to make a case for watching The Exorcist: Believer. I just watched the movie for a second time and it still remains a powerful emotional experience that I haven't seen in the other failed sequels that Blatty didn't write. Yes, they bring back Ellen Burstyn in a small but important role but this time it's a small town community that has to fight demons possessing two young girls. They use different forms of exorcism from the characters' different faiths to combat these evil forces and in the end, they have to make hard choices for the salvation of the children. Don't read any reviews because the critics/audiences have got it wrong! Trust me, see for yourself and make your own judgements!

Each id say bring something to barlow i like 2004's for his charismatic nature the OG for his enigmatic nature and the latests one for his the brutal side and some of his lines

great film, so different but still awesome, the confessional killing gets me, the voice change is creepy

Gotta be better than the weak 2024 remake...

1st

BuuWWUUHHOOOAARR...

I think the play is the best adaptation of the book hands down, it gets everything right atmosphere wise and it's actually the most faithful (with a clever addition to the premise) Go see. 🫶

Versión 1979 es el mejor Barlow a años luz, el de 2024 parece La Monja.

1979 beyond all depths of eternity terrifying 😳

It's not banned, otherwise it wouldn't be on dvd/bluray, they just never repeated it.

The BBC tv version of Quatermass The Pit is out on Bluray as is The Woman In Black tv version. Both are excellent and highly recommended. Quatermass and the Pit is my favourite Hammer film.

Such a classic part

Watched this over Halloween, really enjoyed it. Great review.

It's almost like pitch meeting for the film was made within the next hour of that meeting. Felt like it was never fleshed out. Someone above mentioned the small plots that go nowhere. And I always didn't get on with her basically being abandoned. Her family literally went into the afterlife to save her a couple years prior!!!! 😂

We can all agree it's better than the remake everyone forgot about.

I watched this movie last night for the first time even though I've never been a big fan of the franchise. I thought it was worse than the second film; it really seemed like a cheap knockoff with a bad script, mediocre performances, terrible makeup effects, etc. I understand Gary Sherman considers it a failure but he does his best with a budget lower than the first film. The one triumph of the film is it's use of in-camera physical effects instead of relying on the expensive opticals of the previous films. Nancy Allen's character as you say is the weakest link of the film and is so schizophrenic about her feelings for Carol Anne that she's almost as unlikeable as Kane! And here is where the movie lacks the power of the other films: the theme of family love that can defeat evil. Without that family unit this movie is missing HEART and replaces it with phony sentimentality for Carol Anne that's never established, much less earned by her new family. Storywise it makes no sense why her real family gives her away to an aunt we never heard of before and who doesn't really care about her! I think it would make more sense if her family died in an accident and she was forced to live with Patricia and her husband. You can make Patricia the black sheep of the family who moved to Chicago to start a career as an art dealer and rejects the notion of motherhood. Eliminate the stepdaughter entirely and make Carol Anne the child they never had. Patricia's gradual story arc of ultimately coming to care and protect Carol Anne would make more sense. I would also get rid of Kane since he was vanquished at the end of the previous film and either replace him with a new villain or just make the mirrors a supernatural force of evil that seduces and destroy its victims, using illusions to play on their fears like the movie Oculus (2013). Also please, lets get rid of that ridiculous Dr. Seaton with his dumb rationale about Carol Anne that leads to nowhere. Okay, the pieces are in place, the hard part now is coming up with a good story!

American Werewolf in London was a good film but imo, it doesn't compare to the Howling.

No it wasn't the Doctor/psychiatrist who attacked Karen's friend in the office. The Doctor was the only one who wasn't a werewolf, because remember, the Dr. didn't get turned, or scratched until the barn scene towards the end. And when he got scratched, He provoked Christopher to shoot im before he transformed. And is last words after being shot was "Thank God". I think that's also why the Doctor was able to live in the city. They can transform at will, however. It's at some points where they get triggered or something where they can't control not transforming.

Sometimes “the worst of the three” doesn’t necessarily mean “bad”, it just means it’s the weakest entry thus far. I’ve come to find this happens a lot with threequels. Scream 3 is often considered the worst in the franchise and while it’s certainly the weakest of the original trilogy, it’s nowhere near as bad as every sequel that came after it (I hate when people say “There are no bad Scream movies”… yes there are!). Same goes for Child’s Play 3. It’s certainly not as good as its predecessors or Bride of Chucky, but it’s a hell of a lot better than Seed of Chucky and Cult of Chucky, in my opinion. Poltergeist III had a lot of things working against it. Two stars refused to return, a series of cast deaths, unnecessary reshoots, the unexpected passing of its star, and it’s the follow-up to two very successful films. I think had it been called anything other than Poltergeist it would have been better-received. The practical effects are great and the mirror reflection choreography is impressive. It’s a fun movie that wasn’t interested in repeating what the first two did. I respect that. As far as your criticism of it switching main characters, it’s not entirely uncommon for horror films. They focus on a character for a block of the runtime until they get killed, then they move on to the next. Look at the original Halloween: first it focuses on Loomis, then it shifts focus to Laurie, then a large portion follows Annie around, then it goes to Lynda, then back to Laurie. Most of the Friday the 13th’s also follow this formula. Even Psycho shifts focus from Marion to Norman, then Lila and Sam.

I forgot they said "we're back" 😂😂😂

Woohoo you're back with a new DS video (I see that I'm just late lol) Always love these discussions

I'm voting for the 1979 Barlow. Practical effects ALWAYS look better. CGI was a novelty at first, but it's waaay too over-used now...makes movies seem cheap. Everyone should watch the first Jaws movie to understand how real tension and fear can be instilled through film.
