Should I watch X first, is it necessary or will Pearl standalone and not confuse me?

Re: movies
Nah, since it's a prequel, there' shouldn't be any confusing bits. I'd watch them both cuz they're great. Mia Goth is a star.

Re: movies
Either particularly un-gory? Trying to see what the wife might enjoy. She is going out of town for a few days, so I was planning on watching both of these. I'm trying to force "It Follows" on her as I really want to re-watch and don't remember it being particularly violent.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Wasn't It Follows mostly implied horror?matedog wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 10:39amEither particularly un-gory? Trying to see what the wife might enjoy.

Re: movies
I revisited It Follows recently, there's an extremely gory aftermath shot of the first kill, where a girl has her bloody leg all bent up in the wrong direction, but not a splatterfest after that. X and Pearl are gory, no other way to put it.matedog wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 10:39amEither particularly un-gory? Trying to see what the wife might enjoy.

Re: movies
I saw The Ring the other night and it's not gory. Still holds up decently, might be a good pick.matedog wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 10:39amEither particularly un-gory?

Re: movies
Oh right. I think that's probably minimal enough that it should be okay (minimal in terms of frequency, not the intensity of the shot which is not "minimal"). I'll keep X and Pearl for her work trip. Along with porn, I assume.tepista wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 11:10amI revisited It Follows recently, there's an extremely gory aftermath shot of the first kill, where a girl has her bloody leg all bent up in the wrong direction, but not a splatterfest after that.

Re: movies
I still haven't seen it. I was a bit put off by the director saying Wicker Man wasn't an influence and some of the discourse around him somehow elevating horror. I thought Hereditary was decent but not as good as stuff by Wheatley or Eggers.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I didn't care for Hereditary. I think it did a poor job of melding the grief film with the horror film.eumaas wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 12:46pmI still haven't seen it.

Re: movies
I think my go-to films for that theme would be Don't Look Now (1973) and the Eclipse (2009).Silent Majority wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 12:52pmI didn't care for Hereditary.

Re: movies
For recent occult horror I think A Dark Song is much better than Hereditary.
