sleep now (not full track :( )




full track




actually, not judging, but I see Scarlett here, she looks inside herself more - she would look good in red for a Scarabae movie.. not sure if she would cast in a "la rose da fer" remake at this stage

I saw this again last night. One of the few movies that leaves me exploring the facets and possibilities for hours and sometimes days afterward.


Below is the documentary about making the movie. I think it's worthwhile.




Deleted scenes...




The original ending.

Love Phibes! One of the rare examples of the sequel being just as great also.

Watched THE VVITCH last night. A great movie that could have been even better (but I ALWAYS say that) with a little finesse here and there, and a little work on making the dialogue a little more understandable, especially from the children, in the first third of the movie.

Caleb's big scene STOLE THE SHOW!

The ending was fantastic, albeit it could have been . . .

Glad you enjoyed it, njhorror.

Needed some polish in places, I agree, but even so it was much more deserving of hype than It Follows and is my favorite horror film of the decade so far, The Babadook being a close second.

I'm looking for more surrealist horror films akin to the likes of Antichrist, Inland Empire or Suicide Circle. Would appreciate suggestions.

Re: Favorite Horror Movies
 

That's pretty tough thinking of anything similar enough.

Have you seen Sono's Strange Circus? I wouldn't say it's great but it does have some good surreal imagery.

Tale Of Tales is pretty surreal but by virtue of being based on very old fairy tales. But it doesn't have a similar darkness to what you mentioned.

There's a short animation called Room Of Laughter by Nina Shorina that's amazing. Animation from Russia, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Belrus and Hungary has a lot of surreal animation and the techniques tend to be better than animation from elsewhere.

Taxidermia is a black comedy and definitely the weirdest film I've ever seen. I think on some level most people can understand where the weirdest Lynch and most surrealist stuff comes from, but after seeing Taxidermia I was completely bemused and wanted to ask the director "where did this come from and why did you make it?"

I just saw Men & Chicken at the cinema tonight and it has a similar feel but a lot less gross and weird. Not that surreal but very good. A strange grotesque family comedy.

I don't know if you saw my Shinya Tsukamoto thread but his films are dark and some have very surreal elements. Haze is one of his lesser known films but it's got similarities with Inland Empire.

I have a new favourite movie: the Japanese horror film Hausu.


Bizarrely, Walter de la Mare is cited as an influence on the Wikipedia page.

These two that I watched after Darren Aronofsky mentioned them in an interview:
