In Fabric
★★★★
boxd.it/631XND

A stunning red dress haunts all of its wearers

The fashion industry has damaging consequences to all it touches

Arthouse-heavy on the metaphorical storytelling, in a (mostly) good way

Dating doesn't get better w/ age

Sheila's bosses suck more than Gwen

An American Werewolf in London
★★★★★
boxd.it/5V6Pnb

American tourist wrecks monstrous havok abroad.

Actually scary at-times horror-comedy; balances terror & funny well

David becomes survivor's guilt incarnate.

Of course the nurse goes out w/ him

Excellent makeup work; ridiculous wolf
David (portrayal: David Naughton) and Jack (portrayal: Griffin Dunne) stare ahead towards a strange sound while walking late at night in a foggy grassy area [Film: An American Werewolf In London] David (portrayal: David Naughton) talks despite his face and neck clearly torn to shreds of flesh [Film: An American Werewolf In London] Jack (portrayal: Griffin Dunne) screams in horror while staring at his grotesquely-disfigured hand [Film: An American Werewolf In London]

Marrowbone
★★★★★
boxd.it/5UlEeX

A family tries to survive their murderous father's actions.

Using blood money is a curse.

They hid the ball well on the siblings' fates.

Allie shines so bright; a kind soul (w/ questionable ethics).

Not a fun watch, but an engaging/enrapturing one
Billy (portrayal: Charlie Heaton), Jane (portrayal: Mia Goth), and Sam (portrayal: Matthew Stagg) sit huddled together in a blanket fort [Film: Marrowbone] A group of handmade dolls are sitting together next to a basket of lemons in a grass field [Film: Marrowbone] Allie (portrayal: Anya Taylor-Joy) smiles while looking at someone off-camera [Film: Marrowbone]

Opera (1987)
★★★★½
boxd.it/5UZDZ9

Young opera singer stalked by murderous fan.

I's like every creative choice failing in Phenomena was redone better here.

Eye needles a memorable torture tool; can't look away

Intense pace, lotta blood, awesome rock overlays

Ravens the real MVPs
Betty (portrayal: Cristina Marsillach) looks on in silent horror, her head bound, mouth covered, and eyes forced open due to needles taped to them [Film: Opera (1987)] Betty (portrayal: Cristina Marsillach) motions for a girl to be quiet as they hide from a killer [Film: Opera (1987)] An opera performer looks at out the crowd from the stage [Film: Opera (1987)]

Interview with the Vampire (1994)
★★★★
boxd.it/5Sr4zf

A vampire recounts his life story to a journalist.

Pitt, Cruise, Banderas, Slater, Dunst all excel in their roles.

Surviving for 200+ years ain't always so glamorous

Louis sure does light a bunch of fires..and had a bunch slaves...
Louis (portrayal: Brad Pitt) stares in awe at something off-screen [Film: Interview with the Vampire (1994)] Lestat (portrayal: Tom Cruise) sits with his legs resting on a dinner table [Film: Interview with the Vampire (1994)] Claudia (portrayal: Kirsten Dunst) angrily yells and demandingly points and something off-screen [Film: Interview with the Vampire (1994)]

Jacob's Ladder (1990)
★★★★★
boxd.it/5SAeXT

A soldier's past and future life flashes before his eyes as he dies.

Time jumps & biblical metaphors galore.

Spotlights numerous haunting issues, incl. post-war PTSD, grief from child loss

I understand the Chainsaw Man OP reference better now
Jacob Singer (portrayal: Tim Robbins) walks down a dark, seemingly abandoned train tunnel [Film: Jacob's Ladder (1990)] Jacob Singer (portrayal: Tim Robbins) awakens alone on a dirty old metrorail traincar, awaiting it to reach his destination [Film: Jacob's Ladder (1990)] Gabe (portrayal: Macauley Culkin) sits at the bottom of a darkened staircase [Film: Jacob's Ladder (1990)]

The Stepford Wives (1975)
★★★★½
boxd.it/5Sofwv

Big-city woman tries to avoid becoming a tradwife

Suburbia a pox on society; insulates communities from new/progressive ideals

All the men just want bangmaids for their personal fiefdoms

Uncanny valley in effect w/ the tradified ladies
Joanna Eberhart (portrayal: Katharine Ross) holds up a Nikon camera to her face to take a picture [Film: The Stepford Wives (1975)] Joanna Eberhart (portrayal: Katharine Ross) and Bobbie Markowe (portrayal: Paula Prentiss) look on as Carol Van Sant (portrayal: Nanette Newman) looks towards someone off-camera [Film: The Stepford Wives (1975)] The eponymous Stepford wives, grouped together in similarly styled outfits, standing together in a grocery store, staring eerily ahead [Film: The Stepford Wives (1975)]

The Crazies (1973)
★★★
boxd.it/5Sm7pn

Gov't attempts a coverup with deadly results.

Encapsulates small-town fears of Big Government takeovers, complete w/ martial law

In this conflict, utilitarian principles > individual freedoms

Classic biohazard suits

Can't not think of COVID
People in full-body white biohazard suit inspect potentially infected human bodies on the ground, prep them to be burned [Film: The Crazies (1973)] A soldier in a full-body white biohazard suit points a gun towards people behind the camera view while inside a house [Film: The Crazies (1973)] Movie poster for The Crazies (1973)

Blue Velvet
★★★
boxd.it/5UX1pX

Man's curiosity leads him into bizarre circumstances

Mundane surrealism abound; like traversing an endless fog of strangeness

Frank a brittle strongman motif: quick to rage/tears/violence

Change only happens because Jeffrey won't mind his own business
Movie poster for the film Blue Velvet Jeffrey Beaumont (portrayal: Kyle MacLachlan) stares at a human ear he found and picked up in a field of grass [Film: Blue Velvet] Frank (portrayal: Dennis Hopper) reaches out for the face of Dorothy (portrayal: Isabella Rossellini).

The Legend of Boggy Creek
★★½
boxd.it/5UTPxz

Horror-tinged faux-doc about a small town folklore monster

Forebearer to shows/films like Finding Bigfoot; reenactments galore

Inclusion of non-actors for roles provides positive veneer of authenticity

Decent background noise viewing

Film: Black Sunday (1960) boxd.it/5SbwLV

A vampire witch revives, seeks revenge on her murderer's bloodline.

Don't go snooping in old tombs; rarely ends well

Worse than the sum of its parts; decent pieces to utilize, but underwhelming implementation

Makeup/effects most effective part
Asa Vajda's (portrayal: Barbara Steele) head is held while she's restrained and a deadly mask is about to be put on her face [Film: Black Sunday (1960)] Dr. Choma Kruvajan (portrayal: Andrea Checchi) and Dr. Andrej Gorobec (portrayal: John Richardson) look around an old tomb [Film: Black Sunday (1960)] Movie poster for Black Sunday (1960)

Film: All My Friends Hate Me boxd.it/5SeFTF

A guy's paranoia is a self-fulfilling prophecy

Reunions are tough sledding, moreso if you're the group's pretentious douche

Solid dread-saturated horror elements at play

So dumb they get mad at non-gun-guy Pete for being a terrible shot
A masked assailant holds a rifle to the back of an unaware Pete (portrayal: Tom Stourton) in a room in the mansion [Film: All My Friends Hate Me] Pete (portrayal: Tom Stourton) holds up a celebratory drink as his friends stand and cheer while holding up drinks of their own, while hanging out in a room lightly decorated for birthday celebrations [Film: All My Friends Hate Me] Pete (portrayal: Tom Stourton) looks dumbfounded as he and and Harry (portrayal: Dustin Demri-Burns) are left behind by the others driving to the pub.

Film: The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963) boxd.it/5NdJud

A murder mystery fan gets roped into a real one during an Italian vacation

Things got better once it started getting weird

The leads were decent; I liked em

Basically a Hanna-Barbera soundtrack

Great lighting/shading choices
Nora (portrayal: Letícia Román) stares towards something off-camera. The lighting shades her face, except for a sliver of light across her eyes. [Film: The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963)] Nora (portrayal: Letícia Román) approaches the camera.

Film: Brotherhood of the Wolf boxd.it/5LPMVf

A guy + his Native American friend try to stop a murderous beast wrecking havoc in 1700s France

Overzealous slo-mo usage

Pumpkin target practice is fun
