This movie for me cemented Sam Neill's acting range. From Dr. Grant with the dinosaurs...to this. This is also one of my favorite, if not THE favorite, sci-fi horror films of all time - which is kind of a tough genre to sell.

Not sure what flavor you're looking for but here's some of the ones I enjoyed:

  • Pan's Labyrinth - fairy tale horror
  • Gretel & Hansel -fairy tale horror
  • Babadook - dramatic horror
  • Mothman Prophecies - dramatic horror
  • Hereditary - dramatic horror
  • The Descent - adventure/action horror
  • Jeepers Creepers - adventure/action horror
  • The Mist - adventure/action horror
  • The Crazies - adventure/action horror
  • 10 Cloverfield Lane - adventure/action horror
  • This is the End - comedy horror
  • Shaun of the Dead - comedy horror
  • Zombieland - comedy horror.

On my Halloween movie list this year I'm planning on watching

  • Little Otik (fairy tale horror with stop motion & live action - looks artsy)
  • Lamb (supernatural horror)
  • Tigers are not Afraid (supposed to be similar to Pan's Labyrinth)
  • Midnight Meat Train (Clive Barker horror- one of Bradley cooper's earlier movies)

Saw some other good ones already posted here - Event Horizon, Midsommar - so I think you'll get a good list.

I clean the house as a form of punishment. Then some kind of brunch with eggs, strong coffee, and NO mimosas.

It is...horrifyingly adorable. Aging it like fine wine.

So it sounds like this is a profit-driven decision with auteur dramas in general just not being as profitable as action films or films that have some element of action.

Kind of a radical idea, but I always wondered if the movie industry would do better with different pricing models. When people go to the movies nowadays it seems like its just a better deal over all to see something big budget (even though it may not be an especially good storyline). So maybe just so we can get more variety out of it, they price accordingly and see how the market reacts?

Did you read OP's question? How is he promoting anything?

[–] bakachu 3 points 1 year ago

For what it's worth I don't think you did anything wrong OP. Got some good info out of it. I'll share the downvotes with you.

Yeah feels like an honest question as well to me. I don't get all the downvotes and hate for this post. It doesn't seem anything like shilling. I've never shopped Temu but I've seen the ads, made my assumptions, and now this discussion gives me more information on it rather than doing trial/error. How is a question like this a bad thing?

I do understand the visceral responses based off Temu's most likely lack of safety and ethics, but at the end of the day it's everyone's own personal call on how responsible they want to be with their purchases - caveat emptor I guess.

Oh yes. Pinky is in the full upright position.
