You didn’t like it?😂

Oh, well, I thought it was fun!

I haven't seen it- I just think it's a weird name. Just like that of the star of the animated show "Uncle Grandpa".

I almost didn’t watch it because of the title, but I’m glad I did!😂

Always happy to get some creepy indie recs. The only one I've seen, a few times, is The Autopsy...

It's a good one!

I haven't seen any of these films, and I'm a bit of a horror buff. However, I am going to correct that very quickly. I might have to start with the Brian Cox film having only seen him as a bit of a monster in "Succession." But, they all sound worth a scream!

Thought I would drop a few in here for you

Gravy - Comedic Gore, just fun

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2822578/

Driven - uber with a demonic fare not much of a plot but fun

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7692822/

The Fare - Noir sci-fi romance twisy very well done

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7293920/

Red11 - no budget, generic plot, well done within it limits, one of my favorite characters of all time - I can't watch a movie without shouting out "Score" since watching this.

I almost didn't watch it because of the title; I was so glad I did though! It actually has a 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, if you can believe it!😂

Uncle Peckerhead was awesome!

I'm pretty sure I saw No One Lives and liked it, now I'll have to watch it again to be sure.

Wife liked Storage 24, I kinda slept through it. Will check out the others.

The only one of these I’ve seen is The Autopsy of Jane Doe but it’s a great one! Turned it on one day without looking much into it, expecting it to be another cheap, bad horror movie and was pleasantly surprised!

Yeah, the whole ending was a shocker, too...I don't want to post spoilers here but it was equal parts satisfying, disturbing, and creepy!

At least one horror movie a day?!

Amazing!

I just scribbled "Resolution (2012)" on a piece of notebook paper...

I stream them on my iPad while I'm doing something that doesn't require a lot of attention...things like sanding, filing (as in with a file, not puttin paper away), painting miniatures or building models, cooking. It's amazing how many you can watch doing that stuff!

That's so cool.

And you never once go, "how about romantic comedy today...", or something? :)

😂 Maybe not rom coms, but I like action flicks, martial arts movies, film noir, classics, and also K-dramas!

The algorithm sure recommends horror, though!😂

Expand full comment

Hehe. It's good to know what one likes!

I also have a couple of niches where I go DEEP... 😄

Thank you erniet! I will pass this on to Randy who is a fan of horror genre films, and we will watch a few during this spooky season! 👻

One of my adult children loves horror, so I’m going to save this for her! I love creepy/thrilling stuff, but have too many nightmares to watch horror myself 😁.

If she hasn't seen some of these I hope she enjoys them!

Say, did you see my villanelle (Reflections on a quote from Charles Bukowski)?

I've got a horror villanelle dropping next week and another (non-horror) in November. I think the November one's the best of the lot...

Expand full comment

Oh shoot, I thought I did, but I may have missed it. I’ll double back and look for it. Villanelles are cropping up all over Substack and it’s been so fun to have a new sense of appreciation for them.

The dog was! Rewatching those is always a good time.

Agreed. I was disappointed in the sequel when he wasn't home lol...

Yes! Wasn’t the dog there, though?

An excuse to watch them again…😂

Resolution! My favorite indie horror of all time! You are truly a man of great taste sir.

Thanks! That film is amazing…it walks the fine line between mystery and explanation perfectly!

Expand full comment

Couldn't agree more. That ending I actually thought was perfect. The scene with the strange Frenchman... the window visitor... So good!

Yes, I think the scene with the Frenchman is my favorite…it’s so bizarre and fraught with malice but at the same time so calm…
