i mean i wouldn't worry about it too much. loads of more interesting filmmakers in the world :3
horror is something of a special interest of mine which ig is why i used to feel kinda weird not loving all these dudes unconditionally that people are raving about constantly... but i've noticed that quite a lot of horror fans (online at least) seem somewhat allergic to films outside of their niche so maybe it's a matter of exposure.
these days i think all my favourite horror (beyond like goofy b-schlock that largely works because it doesn't) is up there precisely because they're not just straightforward genre films. & yeah i definitely have an appreciation for the italian stuff but for that i blame my habitual self medication a good portion of it is connected to the uh adult cinema of the time & i get that not everyone finds stylish but nonsensical sleaze cathartic.
i hope i'm not coming across too insufferable here i'd be happy to provide recs should you ever find yourself in need of some
I have issues with me being ace and also some of the needless titillation or glorifying SA that can ruin the film for me. Re-animator would be a perfect example of this or Basket Case. I've been into horror since I was a kid, I watched Nightmare on Elm street when I was 6 and I've been a horror fan since but I do have issues with a lot of the genre even though I can turn my brain off for some things I find a lot of modern stuff doesn't cut it as much due to being pg-13 or feel like it.
i believe i must have seen my first horror movie (puppet master) around that age too. definitely well before i started first grade lol.
yeah i used to be kind of a miserable asshole all the time & in retrospect i think i kept seeking out more & more vile stuff because it was a way for me to process trauma from the comfort of my bed. i'm in a much better place now so a lot of the shit that used to not bother me has become a hard pass.
while it still remains a special interest i'd say the way i engage with it has changed p drastically over the years.
I like the first few puppet masters, I enjoyed Torch ^^ but yeah I watched all the Freddy films, Hellraisers a firm favourite and a load of others. I like the over the top gorey stuff.. or psychological horror.
I had trauma growing up too with what was going on at home but I still managed to sneak a watch at most horror my family would bring in until I could rent things/ pirate myself. Plus I'd watch nearly every horror/sci fi film on TV when I could. I have things I can look past and logic out but some stuff I flatly can't watch. I tend to watch the classics from time to time (September/October through November will generally be Horror season) and if I find some bad b movie that doesn't cross the lines then I'll watch those too as those can be great lol
Re-animator
IKR could have been good except for the SA that's played for laughs
Also to be real, when Doctor Funnyman is playing around with reanimating corpses into states of excruciating pain and such, it should be framed as fuckin awful/terrifying but it seems like the movie wants to have it as a gag. Also even though it's thankfully all animatronics, that's too much animal abuse tbh, which again the film kinda thinks is a joke?
Yeah with these things it's a fine line and I can turn my brain off to some things but others stack up. Re-animator is a black comedy so I get it but I think it goes into tasteless territory for me and unfortunately you do get that with the genre.
cw violence etc
A cop getting blasted because he thinks he's a cowboy and getting his bones shoved into an exoskeleton to be a cop-bot is good black comedy. Resurrecting a cat that's been hit by a car is not good black comedy, Re-animator scriptwritercw violence
Yeah I enjoyed the black comedy in RoboCop and the brutality, shame it's a cop film.Animal cruelty isn't fun.. I don't enjoy when things touch on it either.. I have no issues with that scene in robocop tho.
Oh yeah? Where are all of these "interesting filmmakers"? All I'm seein' is straight white boys...
I do not really have horror films I like so far, albeit I've mostly only seen popular slop. They only write novels about the kind of horror I like, it seems...
"Adult cinema" that's like, not quite Lucio Fulci but like, porn blegh...
perhaps you jest but avoiding that particular category in perpetuity probably wouldn't be super difficult like queer cinema alone comes with such a large catalogue that some folks will routinely watch nothing but all thru june.
Oh yeah? And what happens to that catalogue if you subtract Gay Dude Stuff from it?
i doubt my interest in that stuff is any higher than yours & it's never been a problem. if anything it's the lesbean flicks that seem far more ubiquitous.
I have a few of those sittin' on my shelf and a few more earmarked, but the total is less than 20... you got boatloads?
letterboxd is p convenient for this. here's another list that's more curated.
Oh nice, rad. Some of these I have already, but I simply wouldn't put Mulholland Drive in a list like this. Perhaps I'm built different.
