I’m obviously dumb, but $pali data looks good to me. Not sure what people were expecting from an small p1 study

This and Enter the Devil (1974) are two really solid Exorcist rip offs.

The Devil’s Female (Magdalena, vom Teufel besessen) (1974) dir Walter Boos 1080p / 1.37gb …was she possessed by the Devil or by sex? At a girls boarding school, a beautiful blonde orphan is possessed by an evil demon. transfer.it/t/1J7PZy4llRiK

@CityOnFireNews @DanielGorman20 From what I gather he just doesn’t care much for Hollywood and seems to be mainly working in commercials and advertising work that goes mainly uncredited on his IMDB
English
@DanielGorman20 It's interesting how some folks can have a bomb and recover and then some just get *punished* and you never see another movie from then again, like Pfister.
English
I don’t think Batman Begins is very good (arguably the worst thing Nolan has made) but it has some very nice landscapes courtesy of Wally Pfister and that’s not nothing
English
Last Four Friday - Another beautifully hypnotic Jesús Franco film, a tight Canadian backwoods thriller, another solid Antonio Sabato Sr thriller where he busts some heads to get his way, and a modern Russian drama that has three characters and still manages to be mesmerizing
English
@DanielGorman20 The train chase in Code of Silence is still an all timer for me.
English
RIP; nothing quite like his run of American-nightmare 80s movies. A fascinating reflection of certain strains of post-Cold War conservative neurosis and the key action star of the Reagan era.
English
Rewatched this a few days ago, still excellent

Our first film for our next episode of 26 Movies from HELL is
DOOR (1988) directed by Banmei Takahashi

So many films of the 1970s are gorgeous with their landscapes. But what always stood out to me about those films was that there was a naturalism that so many big “acclaimed”
directors dont seem to get. I like Oppenheimer to a certain extent, but the film is barely staged
English
What annoys me about this the most is that the complete lack of proper staging of scenes. There’s no flow or rhythm and it makes so many acclaimed films so lackluster. It’s not helping that so many mainstream critics are visually illiterate

The aesthetic appropriation of arthouse techniques by filmmakers who have no interesting ideas is one of my least favourite things about the age of Netflix movies. The cinema equivalent of adolescent writers peppering their prose with polysyllabic adjectives to sound smart.

Last Four Friday - A solid film that flopped and is out of theaters pretty much, a French crime film that is wonderfully quiet and slow, a German thriller that is also wonderfully quiet and slow, and a Spanish thriller that again is wonderfully quiet and slow.

@ButsonZack @BilgeEbiri 3 of the 5 being good is a solid ratio
English
@BilgeEbiri Nobody in your audience must be familiar with any of the previous Scary Movies lol

The new SCARY MOVIE trailer in front of my SCREAM 7 screening got more of a response from the audience than anything in SCREAM 7.
John Squires 🎃@FreddyInSpace
A crazy thing to realize in hindsight - I didn't pay attention to box office at the time - is that when SCARY MOVIE was released in the wake of the first three Scream movies, it made considerably more money than any of them did. $278 million worldwide! Scream made $173 million.
English
@PetreRaleigh Yeah exactly. The first one was an experiment “What if Friday the 13th was shot like Gerry?”. So it undermines the first one by just making another slasher film. It’s not even directed by the guy who had the entire idea in the first place!
English
@njdevils901 Totally could be although the presence of any scenes at all from some of the POVs represented in this trailer constitutes a failure in my book. Get that stuff inside the cabin or whatever outta here
English
The kind of looks like it completely abandons the conceit of the first in favor of a formally conventional slasher, which would be a little funny lol
Bloody Disgusting@BDisgusting
Johnny is back. Watch the trailer for IN A VIOLENT NATURE 2.
English
@PetreRaleigh Yeah it’s messy. I think they got themselves a horror hit and decided to just slap on the same aspect ratio and ramp up the pacing for the sequel? The trailer for the first one also made it look more exciting than it was, so could just be marketing
English
@njdevils901 I was mixed on it but it's only to the extent that it actually committed to the style that I thought it worked. There was a masterpiece buried there which on this evidence there's no strong impulse to unearth
English
Last Four Friday:
A wonderful Italian thriller entirely on a boat, John Hyams with a very simple and well-executed thriller, and two very bizarre early 70s films that I was utterly mesmerized by, one a hijack thriller the other one an almost-experimental psychological drama
English
Journey (1972, Paul Almond) - The last of Almond’s trilogy with Bujold. One of the strangest films I’ve ever seen, but something that needs to be witnessed. Bujold and John Vernon are absolutely wonderful, the film is impeccably shot, it really is a brilliant mind fuck.
