Yes! He’s the man! We actually just watched Encounters of the Spooky Kind II for the first time last night and he was fantastic in that. So fun seeing he and Sammo together in some crazy supernatural battles.

It was the same here! We stumbled into them when Criterion Channel added Encounters of the Spooky Kind. It has since become a Halloween tradition, it’s an amazing film. With Sammo Hung directing and starring the stunts are absolutely insane. Plus, you know, zombie kung fu fights.

The only thing you’ve gotta ignore with Incantation is the frequent notion of “why is there a camera filming this right now?” 😂 Really stretches the found footage aspect. But in terms of the scares? Absolutely dread-inducing for its entire runtime. Enjoy! 💀

Yeah! Especially since this one isn’t carrying on the legacy of any of the original characters and is a fully separate story. Once the core group gets together and starts freaking out in this one it’s just utter lunacy and bad decision making with a very clear self awareness of how silly it is.

Love Viy so much. Beautiful and insane.

Yeah a while back someone on r/horror sent me an incredibly in depth analysis of it that the character limit can’t accommodate but I was stunned at how deep the two films are. Hidden gems through and through, both of them. I think 2 has some of the best horror cinematography of all time.

The stunt work in this film and the amazing sequels still put most modern films to shame. Absolutely crazy movie!

Would not be the first film for which I’ve had to turn to the Archive in the last 24 hours. Thanks!
