THE RITA HN

QuoteI received The Slasher is a Sex Maniac Blu-ray today (released by Code Red). I love the title! It also known as So Sweet, So Dead.

I've said it before, but easily the greatest of all the Gialli.
Really great to watch as part of the 'ultimate dark murderer aesthetic' genre history timeline:
NIGHT OF TERROR [1933]
MUNDO DEPRAVADOS [1967]
SO SWEET, SO DEAD [1972]

There'd be no need, and that's the problem as far as the industry is concerned. Once, they made movies. Now, they make franchises.
This is only going to get worse with the popularity with Marvel, every other film company is looking for stories they can mine for endless films.

Jesus, all those fucking worthless super hero movies...

Surely,'jesus, all those fucking  useless  movies '. Why limit to superhero  genre?

The Cottage was recently put on Shudder. haven't seen the movie in a few years, forgot how enjoyable it is, for what it is

Last night was the black and white Japanese crime film, Cruel Gun Story, from 1964. It's basically a heist-gone-really, really-wrong with lots of beatings and shootings. I caught it on Turner Classic Movies & the Criterion Collection logo was displayed at the beginning.

love useless movies personally

went to see new french rape/revenge movie called...uh...Revenge last night

was ok. a bit by the numbers. it's been called the first post #metoo movie but the lead actress is filmed like the camera is drunk and horny. any female empowerment message it might have had is kind of cancelled out by that. i guess you do get to see the lead actor's dick a few times too.

i've gotten copies of these movies and am looking forward to watching the unofficial ultimate dark murder aesthetic trilogy soon

also watched this the other day. liked it. broke labourer gets involved in billionaire russian roulette gambling. it's very tense and well made altho it's probably not difficult to juice tension from russian roulette.

Intacto is another really good russian roulette movie

13., awesome when initially  seen. The ending being the payoff.
Not seen since, so unsure about the quality overall. Will likely be good  but not sure.

My one exception: Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I'd rather watch fincher's version than the swedish original
