House party. Amateur breakdancing. Satanic demon gremlins summoned from hell. It takes 52 minutes for people to start screaming in sync and for the ghoulies to start ghoulin' out, which is absurd. When it happens though... beautiful. Jack fucking Nance too, y'all.
Movie Night #162
Week 2 of Spooky Season 2023
(Tommy's pick)
I mean, it's roughly 80 minutes of watching Cage alternate between mumbling in a questionable Boston accent and just Caging the fuck out as if he's consumed a mountain of Vegas coke. So pretty solid. It was a 3 until that shitty ending.
The longest TOOL music video ever made, set in the Dark Souls universe.
Seriously though, some gnarly designs here. Poop-eating machineheads and bulbous sacks of eyeballs and live autopsies and hairy organs that cry like babies all set in a smoky apocalyptic hellscape where all hope is lost and everything turns to ash.
Pairs beautifully with an edible and a buddy.
My own mild arachnophobia kept me away from this movie for years. As expected, there are a lotta big ass spiders creeping and crawling and leaping around. The movie is light PG-13 Amblin horror, which I wasn't expecting. I figured it would be more gruesome. It relies on the spiders being inherently freaky and John Goodman being amazing at everything he does. If he had more screen time, I'd bump up the score half a star.
