I really enjoyed cuckoo. I forget who recommended it. It might've been someone who I had to block becaue they like their steaks well done. It's a shame really but some things are non negotiable. I've been meaning to watch Strange Darling.
This is on my list and so is Cuckoo. I am glad to see these are getting called out.
From what I've read it infected everyone that saw it, no idea whether it's just the live audience or if it includes any televised viewers. Either way, shit's about to get really fucked up.
They cast a trans actor in a movie called "Cuckoo"? Works on a whole lotta levels
That flick was so burdened down with 'mythology' and needless characters, like the neighbor. It MUST have been a series pitch that was converted to a movie. One of the dumbest films I've seen in recent memory, for sure.
One bit that did make me chuckle though was lou diamond philips pronouncing hyperbole as hyperbollay.
Who was trans? I didn't even notice. I really enjoyed the movie one of my favorites from last year
The main character, played by hunter schafer. Don't know if the actual character is trans but hunter definitely is.
Reading the plot from wiki, then a slightly off actor representation seems like it would work.
I did not know they were trans. In the film they play a girl.
Obviously I can't speak for anyone else but to me hunter just looks like a feminine man with boobs.
I agree the net is wider now
Horror has always been a cross-genre category. Something like FEAST, for example, is a black comedy, an action/survival film, a lampooning of typical action/horror films, but also clearly loaded with horror elements. Aliens, Tremors, lots of stuff like that. I think the proliferation of relatively tame pg-13 type 'horror' contributes to this, as the kind of classic horror we all grew up with was DEFINITELY not stuff kids should be watching.
If you want something to terrify kids you need to get them watching watership down, you don't need any of the classic horror movies from back in the day. My sister has warned her kids that if I'm babysitting then they're not to watch any film I put on with rabbits in it.
heh heh, I did the double bill of the CG Netflix version with the classic 2d animated version for my kids a few years back.If you want something to terrify kids you need to get them watching watership down, you don't need any of the classic horror movies from back in the day.

Classic horror like Rosemary's baby and The Exorcist were before my time. My time was shitty slashers for the most part.
I thought Hunter was good in it personally, no issues with the casting for me.
Watch the directors' follow up. Bring Her Back. Best horror movie so far this year and I doubt anything will top it this year.
I liked it better than talk to me
Yes, it's good nonetheless
In that case, I hope they all die. Painfully and horribly.
Keep watching
Haven't seen Heretic yet. I prefered Hereditary to Talk To Me. Have you seen Bring Her Back yet?
Not yet, but I will. Bear in mind that while I really enjoyed heretic, I wouldn't class it as a horror, but as I said earlier in the thread, there are many films now that are classed as horror that I wouldn't put in that category.
Its fucking awful.
Heres my post from the other thread.
Not very good. Some of the acting was terrible. Took the dogs for a walk half way through and didn't miss anything important.
2/5
I take the hits so you don't have to.
Man I'm reading polar opposite opinions on this one. It's down to 66% on rotten tomatoes. Waiting for streaming on this one.
Makes me think I'll like it. Worst thing a movie sequel can do in my eyes is play it safe.
I watched a review and the guy had some valid concerns about the plot especially the kid and his actions. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say anything else.
