Very unique.
Very unique horror movie. But I would not watch it again. My subconscious was under the effect of the movie until todayā¦ Today I feel recovered. Withdrawal from that movie was tough lol
I think I already said this earlier in the thread, but that is one of the reasons I really liked Blackcoatās Daughter. It actually got under my skin and freaked me out a bit. Thatās a rare treat for a jaded horror fan like me.
Glad you are feeling better! But everything you said has just ramped my anticipation up a couple of notches!
Interesting bit of trivia that you may or may not already know: Osgood Perkins, the director of Longlegs and Blackcoatās Daughter, is the son of Anthony Perkins, who played Norman Bates in Hitchcockās Psycho, and the musical scores for both films were composed by his younger brother, Elvis Perkins. Talented family.
(The score for Blackcoatās Daughter is fantastic. Unfortunately the out-of-print vinyl album now changes hands for upwards of $100ā¦)
Haha I can guess that
Ok based on your advice and my appreciation of Longlegs, Iāve seen Blackcoatās daughter (or February ? Itās supposed to be the original title on the imdb, anway) tonight. I loved it. Such a great movie. You can clearly see a connection between the two movies. Itās gorgeous, bold, cold, dark, surprising, probably unforgettable. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Iām Gonna Have To Watch This One ! Seems To Be A Lot Of Peopleās Fav ! Where Could I Find It At !? Like , Netflix , Prime , A Movie Website ?
I think that depends a lot on where you are located. I first saw it on Amazon Prime.
Thereās a series on Netflix called Terror Tuesday: Extreme. Based on real life radio dial in stories in Thailand. Iāve only watched one of them so far but itās pretty well made. Not bad at all.
Longlegs. Fabulous. New, fresh, accomplished, paced. Loved it.
The Deliverance.
The family situation in this film was so horrifyingly disconcerting that this worked for me as a frightening piece of film. It wasnāt really honestly that good, so it shouldnāt have been so creepy. But it really was horrible. Left me feeling so freaked out. Good acting, deep themes.
I watched this last night. I thought the first half, where it was setting things up with the portrayal of the family and their situation was done really wellāit felt very convincing and compelling, but then the second half, when it became a full-blown horror movie, was pretty dreadful.
So lazily derivative of every possession film since The Exorcist. You could do a checklist of all the tropes youāve seen 100 times before. In fact, some of dialogue and scenes actually seemed to be lifted straight from The Exorcist.
Just my personal opinion of course , but I was left feeling that it was a shame that the director/writers didnāt have as much interest in making an original and creative horror movie as they did in skillfully depicting interpersonal and social issues.
One of my local theaters is currently showing remastered versions of the first three Children of the Corn movies. Went to see the first one a few days ago. Itās great to be able to see a movie like that in the theater. Good goofy fun!
Agreed absolutely. The first half was more terrifying before the horror started!!
Glen Closeās cleavage was the scariest thing about it.
ā¦Can I say that here?
You just did ā¦
