It's a whole lot of fun, one of those indie films that deserves to have a cult following.

It's worth noting that this is a strange change of pace for Steven C. Miller, who usually makes exuberant low budget horror. He's made at least two solid horror films I'd highly recommend - a Silent Night, Deadly Night remake that's just as trashy and violent as you'd want it to be; and the sublime Aggression Scale,…

Indeed it does.

I saw this at Fantastic Fest, and even though I like Wheatley's other movies, I was generally underwhelmed. The design of the movie is wonderful but you really feel the lack of plot - High Rise is basically just a series of tenuously connected set pieces, which has worked for Wheatley in the past but just gets tiring…

I liked this movie a lot, and it's worth mentioning that the movie is really technically impressive without showing off - there are multiple single-take sequences that must have been gnarly to execute (including some impressive vehicular destruction - the director must really have a grudge against cars).

Ad Noiseam has also put out stellar albums by Enduser and Ruby My Dear. Good stuff.

This is a pleasant surprise - usually people who come off looking like assholes on a reality show are quick to blame others. I have a lot of respect for how Talde just straight-up owns everything he said on the show, no bullshit.

Fortuitously, I have Google to help me check your assertion: "Fortuitous: happening by accident or chance; having or showing good luck." No, it seems like an appropriate use of the word.

He's excellent in Digging up the Marrow, which was clearly built around him. (See also the exceptional Dead End.) I think he's one of those actors who's willing to say yes to everything, which is a net good for the world.

Yes - such an underrated movie. I wonder if part of the reason it's so divisive is that it runs at lightning speed through 100 genres, so the intersection of people who like all of those genres is pretty small. But if you DO like all of the movies he's referencing, it's totally awesome.

Wow. I only saw about 12 movies at Fantastic Fest, but the thoroughly mediocre Demon is not even close to the best horror film I saw there - both The Witch and The Invitation are much better, and I heard great stuff about Bone Tomahawk too. (Seriously everyone, The Invitation is NOT OPTIONAL. It's so good.)

Agreed. Plus Robert Carlyle totally owns as the bad guy. He's so much fun in this movie.

Every slasher movie is essentially a remake of Ten Little Indians, so having a horror writer do the script makes sense.

A friend of mine had this as her ringtone for a while. It was both awesome and irritating.

"THAT… WAS… SNEAKY." This is one of my favorite movies of all time. So weird and so funny, and holy shit that score. Apparently all the people who played on the soundtrack were professional musicians playing on instruments they were unfamiliar with, which gives it an awesomely off-kilter feel.

I don't think I'd call Prurient "dubstep" - his stuff is a lot more noise/industrial/black metal influenced. I like Prurient a lot but this song isn't a good introduction - see eg this song instead, which ironically sounds a whole lot more like John Carpenter than this remix does.

Same here. Plus they were one of the best live bands. So good.

Am I the only person who liked the 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street? … Yeah, probably I am, but I really appreciated that it made Freddy fucked up and disturbing rather than campy. Plus the whole "microsleep" idea was clever!

Ha, yeah, I don't want to oversell it - saying that it's easily Wirkola's best movie isn't really saying a lot, but it's definitely better than the first Dead Snow. If you have any interest in a tongue-in-cheek Nazi zombie movie, it hits the spot. (And it's on Netflix, I think.)

Actually, Tommy Wirkola's most recent movie was the surprisingly adequate Dead Snow 2, which is a whole lot better than his crappy Hansel & Gretel movie.
