this movie will forever be tainted by the memory of my millennial sister having a 1.5 hour sociopolitical debate w/ my boomer mother in the movie theater parking lot afterward.
dope opening credits though.
Kill List is an interesting horror-thriller that isn’t talked about enough. I think it was probably Elric Kane’s pretentious ass that recommended this one on a “top horror films of the 2010’s” podcast episode or something. very happy I decided to see this, as it has a last act which is legit among the scariest things I’ve seen this year 👏👏👏
minimalistic, yet effectively unnerving. this film has a handful of indelible sequences I quite liked. plus I am legitimately disgusted by cockroaches, so yeah *pukes*
High praise is given to the frenetic trip that is Tetsuo, & understandably so. But I seemed to enjoy it most during the 1st however-many-mins (when the film was at it's most subtle). Director Tsukamoto gets wildly experimental, which I can dig... but this just ain't Lynch's Eraserhead, as most tend to compare it to 🤷♂️
Tilda Swinton just stares blankly throughout the whole film & somehow I’m captivated by her performance.
the mausoleum scene was lit but otherwise ur probably better off watching Hocus Pocus if ur feeling a live-action spooky Disney film.
a cash-grab turd w/ so much wasted potential. also, hideous character designs 🤮
Jeffrey Combs is the bad guy & he’s sooo good at it. what a shithead. & human torture makes me feel bad, sure, but the horror of uncertainty is effective here. I was pleasantly surprised by this.
this film was dumb af but the fun kinda dumb that keeps u grinning like one of them Truth or Dare demons 😂
