It was decent! Maybe you'll like it more than I did.

To me the last 15 minutes were what made the rest of the movie make sense.I watched The House That Jack Built yesterday. And at first this movie was pretty tame, more psychlogical horror in a sense and while watching the 2nd story I was wondering if the whole movie was like this but then shit escalated quickly when Jack was towing the dead woman with his car. The third story was gruesome and mean and as soon as he used the marker on Jacqueline's breasts in the 4th story I knew where this was going. The only other Lars von Trier movie I had seen before this one was Antichrist. And then at the end you're asking yourself why am I still watching this thing? The last 15 minutes were unnecessary and I was just waiting for it to end.
Nothing really. I don't have expectations when watching a movie in the sense that I want the story to go a certain way or that there will be a theme or whatever. That's not how I watch movies. And I didn't even dislike the movie, reading my post again I can see how it looks that way but I actually enjoyed it for the most part, except the last 15 minutes which I felt weren't needed because I didn't need an explanation for what I've seen.Just wondering, what were you hoping for? Having a hard time getting a read on what you disliked based on your post and I'm curious.
I didn't know that but I can see it now because I was wondering why a brief scene of Antichrist was in this film too. I guess some from his other films were aswell.The movie is a commentary on Trier and his movies, so I wonder how it read to somebody not aware of that.
Not at all. Except maybe the parts where Jack starts building the house and immediately tears it down again.
Yeah, it helps if you're a fan and have seen at least Antichrist and Melancholia imo, but the more the better. Watching the movie knowing it was Trier self-reflecting added a lot for me.
That one where the guy kills a dude and inherits his stuff, and theres s painting of the house on the wall, and there's a corpse coming out of the graveyard in the painting that gets closer to the front door every time the guy looks at it

That pretty much describes most of my favorite movies, so will bump that one up right away. Thanks!Put Terrified right at the top of your list. The story is lame and basically only exists to allow for the horror setpieces but the setpieces are fantastic and unforgettable. I've seen it twice and I think I liked it better the second time.
It's a real shame the thing wasnt recognized for its brilliance when it released.This evening I saw John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness for the first time. It was very good!
It really unfolded like a Lovecraftian story I thought. It actually made me very curious so I went online to read some articles about it. Apparently, The Thing, Prince of Darkness, and In the Mouth of Madness are considered a trilogy by Carpenter about the destruction of different concepts like individuality, spirituality, and reality. Each of these three movies are very much Lovecraftian in their treatment I think.
I very much enjoyed it. A creepy slow burn horror with a terrific central performance.
I thought it was fine, definitely weak if you're comparing to other A24 horror films imo
Got a Shudder trial going, can I get a list of top recommendations?
I see...5 reviews, you say
Fuuuuuck I signed in to check my watch history and it looks like Shudder got removed from VRV. Lame!
Anyway...
Off the top of my head, Summer of 84 and Terrified are my favorites on the platform that you won't find elsewhere.
I think this description made me a bit nauseous.
"Annoying, pain in the ass Callie (Meredith Mohler) is an obnoxious social justice warrior who spends her life reporting the supposedly offensive actions of her fellow students in spectacularly over-the-top fashion. Things are going swimmingly for her quest to find the ultimate level of butt hurt when a legendary serial killer returns and picks up the murder biz he started years previous."
