most of us were watching ed edd n eddy in 2000 not torture videos this s*** is gross

just finally saw it and I loved it easily the most refereshing horror franchise going right now

hmm yea id say so more recently tho

Holy s***

That s*** was CRAZY

Yea this scene def topped that one ‘dance’ scene early in the Suspiria remake, which was the last scene that reeeeeeally left me disturbed

This is sick this isn't even art or cinema this s*** is like borderline snuff

I'm not sure why anyone would want to expose themselves to these sort of images but if you do you're sick

It’s a very well made movie and I’m not gonna be a geak about it but practical effects are definitely art

Also can’t help but point out that people said the same stuff about The Exorcist (and worse) and Texas Chainsaw Massacre when they came out

I’m not even really into super gory stuff, i just saw this w friends bc it was supposed to be an at least decent new horror flick. I would have preferred less sadism for the kill being circulated itt but I also think it’s ridiculous to deliver reactionary judgments to something out of context. Just seems out of touch w the point of art, and perhaps especially horror as a genre w it’s many subs

Practical effects are great and all speaking from art dept. experience but idk man, this is on some salo/Serbian film/human centipede s***. I like impactful gore. Green room/raid 2/Mandy kinda s***. This just excessive.

And there's too much "b-movie" not so great compositing over the great practical effects to really make it not what it is, schlock. This is like a really long YouTube viral short. Which is definitely the point but still, it's not quite kino

I think OP said the void felt cheaper than this, I gotta disagree. This is like Neil breen/best of the worst type shooting quality right here. The void overcame it's budget and then some

What's up with the viral marketing for this series too? I feel like people are getting very vocal about this which is weird considering just how indie it is

MF talking s*** about teenagers with a Euphoria avy lmao

Holy s*** I did a short film with the woman who played Tara, didn't even peep

The nigga sauntering back in with the bleach and salt is f***ing jokes tho

This was pretty decent. I like it

Why ol girl s*** herself when she first met Art.

Jesus Christ

Yeah I wasn't watching cartoons in 2000 lol

Do I gotta watch the first one to watch this

I didn’t, and I don’t think so. It has a Halloween esque basic plot w the main slasher coming back to kill a bunch of people in town for the anniversary of his previous attack (from the first movie) and that’s all you really need to know. I may watch the first now that I’ve seen this but it seems this is a big improvement on the original

Yeah that scene was nuts how it just keeps progressing

Film is quite enjoyable tbh

Imo Salo is a great movie and it’s about Italian fascism allied to the halocaust so it has very valid ground to be excessive. And while this is more of a ‘b-movie’ rather than aiming towards the artsy pretensions of Salo, I don’t think it really takes from the creatives’ talents. I’m not sure why a discussion on its existence as art is even necessary. It has a story, characters, atmosphere, rich set design, all of which wouldn’t even be necessary beyond the texts simple circulation as a film. Aside from the gore which is understandably too much for many, people discuss it as the best grindhouse slasher in years. It’s part of a clear tradition

Tho all that being said, I understand everyone has strong opinions about the validity of depictions of violence as an appropriate aesthetic / way to engage the world through art.

A book like Blood Meridian or (perhaps) American Psycho are phenomenal in part bc of their engagement w excessive depictions of violence as a way to comment on specific historical moments. You’ll find plenty of other effective books covering the same themes w much less violence, but the reading experience is clearly different. It’s certainly interesting to see how people respond differently to these depictions as they take place in unique art mediums. The movie scene circulating itt wouldn’t be out of place for the book version of American Psycho

Interestingly enough, while the movie adaptation was quite toned down from the book, it still hit many viewers as too much at the time of release.

bro I couldn’t believe I was watching that when I was at the theater how the f*** did they get an R rating

Terrifier 3 is gonna be so fire and so high budget

This is a “mainstream” movie?
