Terra and I watched The Lure (2015) tonight, which was great! Not what I would term horror though -- a musical drama with some horror elements. Beautiful, great soundtrack, and very sad. 😭 Too much stomping on my heart, not enough vicious man-eating! 😝
Busy busy week and I'm behind on the horror countdown, but glad to be getting back on track with Sarah Jablonski tonight, watching A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)! This Korean horror film had great use of color and some very powerful shots. The story was interesting but confusing, maybe something was lost in translation -- had to read the wikipedia plot synopsis haha.
Recommended for fans of spooky, atmospheric, psychological thrillers (though some scenes are kinda gory). Vibes of The Others (2001). If you liked this, recommend Ich Seh Ich Seh (2014).
YESSSSSS FINALLY, a movie worthy of the Top 100 challenge!!!! Julia Ducournau's Raw (2016) is the best horror movie I have seen in so long. If you liked Ginger Snaps (2000) or Når dyrene drømmer (2014), you're gonna love Raw (French: Grave)! Prepare to say "oh my god f*ck oh no, no don't do it!!!" cause it gets bloody and graphic fast, but this is transformation horror at its finest. 💯🏆🏆🏆
Jamie, Jake and I watched What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962). It was definitely disturbing, but we couldn't get over the fact that Blanche is so ridiculously passive in her attempts to get away from her crazy sister. Not sure if that's a function of the times/gender roles, or if Blanche was just kind of a wimp. 🤣 Also now that damn daddy song is stuck in my head. 😅 I will say, it was interesting how the film explored sibling rivalry and female/child exploitation.
Sibling rivalry is the theme of this sensuous fluff. Djuna and Paolo are happy in their quiet, restrained vampire love affair... until Djuna's psycho sister, Mimi, shows up. Pretty and fun film with some very easy-on-the-eyes actors.
