The rest of horror movie month
Nov. 6th, 2023 08:11 pmI hope you had a fantastic and spooky Halloween!
+I just saw this fanvid about Ghosts featuring Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice and it's such a delight! There is plenty of Halloween spookiness in it but it's a feel good vid.
+Movies I watched to round out the month:
Halloween (1978): Legitimately creepy! The stalker vibes were more intense than I anticipated. The music was so familiar even though I'm sure I haven't watched this film before. A little slow to build up, but I could see myself rewatching this one.
Halloween: H20 (1998): Get his ass, Laurie!! This movie is not exactly an instant favorite, but I appreciated the satisfying ending. I don't really love that they switched up the story and made Michael her brother - that still doesn't explain why he wants to kill her? I thought it was creepier when she was just the girl he couldn't kill 20 years ago. I expected them to explore whether Laurie had violent tendencies. But the ending played into that a bit.
The Meg (2018): Very dumb plot (it's weird seeing all the fake deep-sea submersibles now after OceanGate) but seeing that dead shark getting eaten by that even BIGGER shark??? Neato.
The Lost Boys (1987): So many vampire tropes, and a funny little bro, and an awesome grandpa! This was fun, but I didn't really love anyone in it.
The Devil's Advocate (1997): SO much to think about with this one. Ok, Reeves' accent is terrible, but it's still totally watchable. The funny thing is, I felt like this movie really captured accurately so much about being a defense lawyer? And it played with the whole idea that you have to sell your soul to do that kind of work well. I loved how it showed his work deeply affecting his wife as well, and I loved that it had an open ending. It was like the main character was going to have to keep making choices, and would have to face his own pride/vanity for the rest of his career. It was a bit slow to start though, but I loved the second half way more than the first.
