Well, I'm here ....
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Vonnie, have you seen The Endless?
Nope. Have I mentioned that I am a scaredy cat? I only saw Hereditary because there was so much buzz about the film. I *have* heard good things about The Endless though. And someone I follow on Twitter was also raving about a movie called A Dark Song. I have both of them on my Netflix queue but have been too chickenshit to watch them. Maybe this convo will push me toward finally giving them a try...
I also really liked Netflix's The Ritual, which I've heard a lot of people hated, so who knows.
How could any horror fan hate The Ritual?? The monster is stuck to my brain still.
Vonnie, I'd describe A Dark Song as bleak and unsettling rather than scary. I don't recall much in the way of gotcha moments.
I hate bleak movies. I'm depressed enough without any encouragement.
That's what the news is for.
Putting The Endless and A Dark Song on my watchlist immediately.
The dreams in The Ritual were the creepiest part, and so well done.
I'm so excited for We Have Always Lived in the Castle! I really hope it's good, because it is one of my all-time favorite books -- Merricat's cool, dreamy narration with the touch of ghoulish smeared over it and the creaking, nook-and-crannied old house in the woods...
Speaking of dreary and depressing, I ended up feeling that way about The Haunting of Hill House (series, not movie). I loved it, it was well-written and the cast was incredible, but the heart of the story was really about grief and love and mental illness, and it overshadowed the scary parts for me.
Wait wait wait - Sansa Stark is Jean Grey?
That's kind of perfect.
Amy, if you can, watch The Endless completely unspoiled. I couldn't find any spoilers beforehand, and I'm actually glad about that, even tho' the movie left me uneasy for days.
