Nicole and I watched Bug (2006), and it was f'ing crazy!! It was not what I was expecting, that's for sure, which was a relief for me anyway, tho this was surely gnarly in its own way. Themes of paranoia, madness, conspiracy, loneliness, loss of self. A good movie but rough!
May (2002) was f'ing brutal. I almost never do this in movies (tho I also did for Suicide Club, tough countdown this year!), but I had to make Mark fast forward a few times. I don't want to give spoilers but just trust, there is some messed up content in this one. This was Julkita (2017) level gnarly, but sadder. 🤢😢 Trying to maintain critical distance, but honestly have no idea if this was a good movie or not, gunna have to sit with it a bit once I settle down. 😅 Though my first impression is that it was more creative than your usual mutilation fest (cf the idiotic Saw movies), more like Tim Burton's Sally ft Buffalo Bill. Viewer be warned...
The Loved Ones (2009) was viscerally disturbing. Felt like the psychological heir to House of a Thousand Corpses (2003), but need to sit with it to see if it has staying power. Do not recommend for the faint of heart... may not recommend at all, haha.
Audition (1999) was awesome, altho parts were nearly impossible to watch. I'm not a fan of torture porn, but this had depth... like a much darker and more brutal Fatal Attraction. Thanks for braving it with me, Nicole!
The Love Witch was awesome! 💯 Definitely inspired by her fashion sense (not necessarily in this pic, when she goes to high tea... but not necessarily not, either...)
Misery is so creepy... If I were a celebrity, I'd be so afraid if anyone told me they're my "number 1 fan"...
