Great list. Just watched Cure recently and it was such an unnerving and bizarre experience that I needed to rewatch almost immediately after. Here are some of my recommendations (sorry if you've already covered them in the past!): A Dark Song - Irish horror about two people who perform an (apparently very accurate) magic ritual to speak with higher powers. It's a brutal and punishing watch, but an extremely rewarding one with an breathtakingly original, if divisive, ending. Audition - Well known, but I feel like it's underseen because its ending is so infamous. What they don't realize is that the rest of the film is an expert slow burn that tackles relationships and misogyny in a deeply psychological, dreamlike way. There are sequences that remind me of Perfect Blue, which i did not expect from this. Speaking of, Perfect Blue - Brilliantly trippy anime-psycho-thriller-noir-horror about a celebrity who's being stalked and gaslit to the point that we become gaslit with her by the animation itself. A masterpiece from Satoshi Kon, who only made masterpieces before passing too soon. Tesis/Thesis - Alejandro Amenabar, best known for Open Your Eyes and The Others, started off with this "elevated" slasher film. It follows a group of film school students, one of whom is writing a thesis on extremely violent media, who discovers what may be a snuff film. It almost feels like a low budget Scream, at times, with its savy, desensitized characters, the "soapy" relationships between them, and an expertly handled whodunnit element. May - A quiet, deeply empathetic character study of a disturbed, lonely woman who's desperate for human connection. A slow burn in the best way. May walked so Pearl could run. Christine - Underrated John Carpenter film and underrated Stephen King film. Christine works both as an "evil object" movie, but also as a sort of twisted romance. It is a pure blast. Resurrection - An underseen horror gem about an extremely organized, put-together single mom who's life unravels operatically after seeing a man who may have done something awful to her in the past. What's actually going on is absurd and ridiculous, but Rebecca Hall's fearsome performance and Tim Roth's slimy villain carry the whole thing through to its depraved finale. Speaking of Tim Roth: The War Zone - The ONLY film Tim Roth has directed to date, The War Zone is a dark drama about abuse within a family. What makes it so effective, though, is that the abuse is almost never seen. The film is, on the surface, an observant melodrama about a "normal," ideal, loving working class family, but it's infected with darkness just barely in the periphery; darkness so potent that it could destroy everything. But if everything else is good, then why would the victim even want to say anything? Roth, a survivor of CSA, examines that particular brand of abuse expertly. And my FAVORITE of my recommendations: Triangle - I'm pretty sure you covered this previously, but if not, don't read about it; don't look it up; all you need to know is that Melissa George is actually a scream queen and there's a Hemsworth in it. It's on Shudder and possibly Free with ads on youtube. (Sorry there were so many of them! I kept reminding myself of other ones I should also recommend!).

It’s an amazing film. It affected me a lot when I first watched it.

The Mary Magdalene movie with Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus was from 2018. Why does it say 1988? 😂

They took out the funniest part. After the fake coming attractions the narrator said "Rated X...Proudly brought to you by...the Weinstein company". LOL big laugh in the theater but they cut that out for some reason.

The most under rated movie ever, its class!

If Mel wanted to show what exactly happened and to display how bad Roman crucifixion was it would not have been allowed to happen. Flogging- Was done by a Roman flagrum this would have literally torn the skin off it’s muscles . The whole back / legs of Jesus would have been torn apart. . In the Passion we see long cuts in the skin / muscle but this is still far from how it would have looked like . The crown of thorns was a bush instead of a crown and the romans would not have had the time to make a proper neat crown so they would have grabbed some thorns and with a piece of wood they would have “ smashed ” it on his skull . The cross he carried was not the full cross as it was impossible for a beaten man to carry . The gospels talk about how Jesus could not carry his cross and needed help from a man named Simon of Cyrene . This shows just how weak Jesus was and how beaten he was . As it was JUST the beam he carried. the ( the beam / patibulum ) was carried and not the stake . Another thing to add is he would have literally have naked with No loin cloth to cover him while nailed to the T cross . This would have been the most embarrassing way to die . I acknowledge and praise your efforts throughout this video . You got the over violent nature of the Jews correct . The film definitely over exaggerated the way Jews acted especially the high priests . They did not want to kill their own / hand him over to the romans . They only did this cause jesus was accused of “ blasphemy ” . He also claimed to be the Son of Man / ( son of God / messiah ) A Jewish way to kill someone was to stone them to death . According to the law of Moses they had to die if they committed sin of the highest .

Beautiful. My favourite.

I remember showing Cigarette Burns to a film buff co-worker and being absolutely delighted over how much it disturbed him. 😄 Also, it's really nice to see a list of horror movies which actually contains several films i haven't seen. My interest was most peaked by The Caller.

In relation to considerations of religious belief and film: I would be interested to see you consider the films of Krzysztof Kieślowski. He was someone who resonated deeply with me, as someone raised in an intolerant fundamentalist context. The contrast on so many levels is high with this work.

Excellent video.

I really hope they remake the cgi at some point, this movie definitely deserves it. As for the rest of the alien movies, they are a disgrace. Maybe the one that comes out this year will be good, but i don’t hold my breath

I'm not defending The Passion, - it's gratuitous, malicious, sadistic, heretical, and disrespectful - but I do want to add that a lot of people ignore that the flogging depiction is consistent with very easily accessible historical documentation of what Roman flogging was like. The gospels don't go into detail about the process, yes, but that's because it's assumed their first century audience would already be familiar with the process.

Can I say that this video is the bee's knees? Or did someone else beet me to the punch?

Nice effort, but I don't agree at all with this review's point of view that this movie was mainly an intentional propaganda attempt that backfired. Propaganda seeks to dehumanize the enemy and paint your own side as virtuous. Red Dawn humanized the Soviet/Cuban/Nicaraguan soldiers in a way that was not typical at that time and even afterwards. Please allow me to recount the zeitgeist among common people when the movie was released, as I lived it. When I was a child growing up in the early 1980s, we believed a war with the Soviets was imminent. The revolving door of Soviet leaders Brezhnev, Andropov then Chernenko, the latter of which was not seen in public and was obviously in failing health, had many worried about unstable political situation in the USSR which could give rise to belligerence. The downing of KAL 007 was another extremely worrisome development and then there were the nuclear movies such as "The Day After" depicting people being incinerated by ICBMs, that were nearly universal events and stoked a lot of fear (You can find "The Day After Nuclear Attack Scene" on UA-cam). I cannot stress to you who are younger, just how central these events were, with only local news and 3 TV networks nationwide. Back then people were not glued to the TV in 24 hour news cycles as they are today, so the precious little information was dribbled out to us, and the media's form of clickbait at the time was to announce a scary headline at mid-day and say "Film at 11" so you could stew in anxiety and rush to get more info at 11PM when the film was ostensibly developed and ready to air. There was little fragmentation in media, and if you wanted another perspective you would literally have to buy expensive foreign news at the newsstand which was expensive and outdated, or maybe listen on shortwave radio. The elders at the time told us that the early 1960s was even worse with the Cuban Missile Crisis, and we would get through it this. We heard from older siblings about "Duck and Cover" drills. We were in still very much in the cold war and the news media were telling us that senile old Ronald Reagan "Ronnie Ray Gun" was going to get us into WWIII (You can watch the Genesis "Land of Confusion" video from the later 80s to catch some of this, but it was everywhere in popular media). 1983 was a particularly scary year for us as children and 1984 was actually a bit more calm as the Olympics were going to be in the U.S., although I don't know why that would make a difference, it did. I would call all the press ginning up current events at the time major propaganda on behalf of the M-IC, just as it is now. The propaganda level in this movie was extremely subtle and nuanced against the constant din of corporostatist agitprop on the small screen at the time. So the line in this review of "No attempt to engage in reasoned or rational hypotheticals" statement is true, but it would not have been necessary for 1984 audiences already saturated with this information. For a foreigner born 2000 miles away, 20 years after it was made, that background information would be helpful but that's what books from primary sources are for. Red Dawn actually humanized the invaders, it showed fundamental strategic disagreements and animosity between Cuban Bella and Russian Bratchenko, but especially the scene where Yuri first humorously mistranslates a monument inscription and then meets his end underscores the point that he is just a kid like the Wolverines. Even Jed struggles to execute him, and I see it as the point of no return for him and at that point they are fighting for nothing as their humanity is lost. You can see this when they execute Technical Sergeant Gorsky and Daryl. There is a big difference between cheering on a regular army crushing its evil foes and some seriously outgunned partisans who have lost everything fighting to stay alive and in the end lose their humanity. Finally, what is actually wrong about depicting people defending their homes? The reviewer mentions the role reversal of the Vietcong and USA, which is extremely valid, but then undermines this by going into his own unsubtle yellow text with "Stolen Land" and "America for Americans" superimposed on random scenes from the movie. I have a sneaking suspicion that if the middle-aged man calling Red Dawn "Right Wing Jingoism" at 6:40 were alive today, he'd be sympathetic to Ukrainians and Palestinians defending their homes. You can argue that the Yuri scene was one of the very few scenes that showed any personality within the adversaries, and you would be right, but I contend that successful propaganda makes it easier, not harder to hate the enemy and that Yuri scene was calculated, not just an attempt of propaganda that failed. There was also a deleted scene of Gorsky excited to see a Pizza Hut full of girls, pizza and music, like any normal red-blooded teenager. If the movie was propaganda for anything, it is driving home the point that government is incapable of defending citizens. As a kid I didn't think of that, but the maligned yellow-text intro and Colonel Tanner's dialogue as well as the absence of American military, first introduced me to the concept of self-reliance, which has served me well later in life. I can see how a reviewer from the UK or dominions would not have been told that in their formative years, as the government is their lifeline for the most part. Anyhow, we can agree to disagree, just one person's primary source perspective, you can throw that in the trash bin if you like.

+3000 for including the Chris Morris clip

Well, it's safe to say that Wild will never be allowed to direct another film after the absolute catastrophe it took to make it & the mediocre results. Also if your wondering wether I side with Wild or her ex Sudeikis, from what their former nanny has claimed Wild sounds like a negligent MIA mother & Sudeikis sounds emotionally manipulative & absolutely deranged & if these two weren't wealthy, influential public figures they'd most likely both be getting visits from their local branches of CPS.😞

The Fabelmans got nominated for best production design at the oscars

Good to hear the other side but it still doesnt change me not liking this movie. Its ugly, boring, without any hope, and seems like it wants to be anything but sci fi most of the time and i really cant get over that last part.

From the scenes displayed I’d say it’s cult status is largely so bad it’s good, I wouldn’t mind finding a copy myself one day.

We definitely need a new take on a sequel and something that’s on the same level as the original movie. Such wasted potential on 2 and 3.

The people who are outraged by "Crash" remind me of the old men offended by "1,000 Blowjobs". 999 is fine, but ONE THOUSAND!?!

I rewatched this only this weekend and still love it. I love the poignancy, the dystopian vibe, the close and realistic horror… it has it’s issues but it’s still on my yes list 😊

Smecker made this whole movie for me.

I still place Alien and Aliens ahead of Alien 3…but the gap is small and shrinking every time I watch it. The acting is fantastic. The mood is dark. And the survivor is a surprise. What’s not to love.

Wile there is no directors cut becuse David Fenccher never made one due to the constant studieo interference if i remember correctly it directed by Alen Smithy. There is your first clue sherlock. So if you actually watch this movie do yourself a major favor and wach the assembly cut. It is the far better version.

T4 is the best sequel while also bottom of the barrel. I have 1 huge problem with the movie. A problem that is never being noticed or never being talked about while being very obvious and breaks the movie. That signal...how can John, someone who knows that 5 terminators(1 in T1, 2 in T2, 2 in T3) have travelled through time and thus knows that they can operate independently, not know that the signal is a trap, is beyond me. Huge oversight that completely breaks the movie.

The only good films based on King stories.

"I Spit on your Jesus", was fucking hilarious.

These guys are about as bad as the people who film kiddie porn.

I remember "Bum Fights in the late 1990s, early 2000s. Never watched it, because Im not a fucking psychopath

It borrows heavily from Pasolini’s The Gospel of St. Mathew. Sometimes using the same shots. Just as a cinema history note.

scariest movie of 2013

check his hard drive

If "The Passion Of The Christ" is like someone telling the same offensive joke over & over again until it's no longer shocking, are you saying it's basically a live action film adaptation of "Family Guy".🤣

Just to let you know, you dated "Mary Magdalene" as coming out in 1988 (epic Facepalm).

Pedro the lion. Nice 👍

2 of my favourite films. period.

I’ve always liked Alien 3, even from the start.

I loved this movie just for it's pure escapism and fun. Yes Troy Duffy is a major POS who has a majorly overinflated sense of his own self importance and genius. The editing and technical aspects of the movie were amateur. It's jam packed with terrible stereotypes, racism, sexism, dudebro rubbish. It's schlocky trash with a very weak story heavy on forced symbolism and overtones. But it also has a certain charm when you're not in the mood for anything highbrow, you just want to kick back with a drink and a snack while you suspend all your higher thinking and just enjoy some good actors hamming their asses off with some ridiculously fun action. For all its many faults, I still really enjoy this movie the same way I enjoy a trashy novel or self insert fan fic. It's just plain dumb fun.

I saw this movie some days ago, and the thing I remember the most is how dark it looked. Even in broad daylight scenes, the movie looked so dull, ugly and sterile. The camera work did not help either. The drone shots, especially the one during the "empty gun" scene, made it look like some theme park live show. The choreography was so evident. The action scenes were pretty much CGI smoke, fireworks, messy camera, and characters magically teleporting and not being slightly bothered by the elements (be it smoke, dust, or explosion noises).

I put this video on my "watch later" list when it came out. But I didn't see Pig until last night -- and the all-knowing algorithm must have known, because youtube served me up your video today. I watched Pig with someone who hated it; I felt the opposite. But I had to admit, there was a lot I didn't grasp, and still don't. I think I understood why they hated the film, though I also think the film is absolutely brilliant. This video very effectively articulates one half of what I was seeing in the film but couldn't put my finger on. But there's that other half... I can't help feeling there's a dimension of absurdism and referential humor in Pig that you don't discuss. I think this is what made my friend hate it. It's like John Wick not only in the seeming revenge plot, but also in the dark underground world it creates, but for Pig, it's not organized crime, it's restaurants. For example, when they uncover a secret entrance to an underground fight club directly beneath Pioneer Square (which is Portland's central location), it's kind of ridiculous. And it's clearly alluding to Fight Club - except Robin Feld does not fight. But why not? What is going on here? I'm confused. My guess is it's some kind of ritual in which restaurant wait staff have the opportunity to take out their aggressions on the chefs who make their lives miserable. Maybe? If so, it's very silly, but clearly its silliness is deliberate. But if not, then... what? Pig never shows its hand. It wants us to work for it, though it does also give us wonderfully assured film-making, so we can enjoy ourselves in our confusion. I think the kind of questions I'm asking about the fight club could be asked about most of the movie. In the Eurydice scene, we first get the waiter delivering a speech of such contrived nonsense -- we're supposed to laugh, right? It's so over-the-top, as is Chef Derek's jittery demeanour, which Rob slowly deflates. It's serious; it's absurd. I can't quite get my mind around how these wild tone shifts are meant to fit together. But man, what a film!

I tried to watch this while doing my film studies A Level because I'd watched Apocalypto the week before and while it was not the best movie I'd ever watched, it was a good enough action movie. I think I got about half way through the torture before I just couldn't sit through it anymore. It felt gratuitous. I'm not sensitive to graphic violence like but this almost felt silly. Then I learned that some fundamentalists make their children watch it every easter. I've heard of the same group of parents who condemn videogames, horror movies and books while showing graphic extended torture porn to primary school aged children. Anyway, a part of my brain decides to pretend that Gibson is that goofy dude from Lethal Weapon who ate dog biscuits and adopted an entire black family as his own.

Nothing to do with Gibson and his film per se (apart from the source material) but it just occurred to me that Lynch's "Fire Walk With Me" is a Passion film, in the religious sense. Laura Palmer undergoes her own Passion, and achieves her own kind of Divinity. Lynch is fond of reading the Bible and had said he does get some ideas from the scriptures, so it tracks. Caleb Deschanel also directed an episode or two of the TV series, so that's a nice connection to the Gibson film. I've never actually seen it. I may have to rectify that, if only for Deschanel's excellent work. You've made an extraordinary video. Kudos.

This is one of the best put-together video essays (on this film) I have seen here. Well done, I/F/O, and thank you.

I feel the luckiest guy on earth. I watched this double feature on the big screen when I was a teen. It was magic.

I like aliens. 3. I don't like some of the decisions, but it's got a good cast, and the directors cut is even better . And compared to the vast majority of Hollywood films we get in current year it's a masterpiece
