Halloween Films & Shows

[BULUPTAX]

@BULUPTAX I've never seen Scream in the cinema but I'd love to! Great one for Halloween. I think it's one of the all time greats of slasher films. Wes Craven clearly had those concepts of horror film meta narrative rolling around in his head for a long time as you can see with New Nightmare, (which I think is good!) but after casting off the shackles of franchise legacy and instead focusing purely on those ideas Scream really delivered.

@Jassassino The Fly is so good! I'd actually recommended it to Gabriel about a month ago. Have you seen much Cronenberg? Every film of his I see further cements him in my mind as one of my favourite directors. The Descent is also brill. The bit where she sees the old-time equipment and knows people have been there before is chilling.

I watched Together (2025) yesterday as one last spooky hurrah.

It was quite fun but Dave Franco's acting was really poor. Alison Brie played the character she always plays but it worked well in this story. They're a real-life married couple but I thought their chemistry was non-existent. I hope for their sakes that's just the case for the characters and not them themselves.

I saw this recently as well. I thought them having no chemistry worked since their relationship in the story has hit a wall and they don't have that fiery passion any more.

The director is Aussie and I used to always watch his YouTube videos, he's a really talented VFX artist so I was happy for him when I saw he's directed a feature film
