Day 8: Hates Eyes

See No Evil

How about an entire movie about eyes?! It’s, um… not fantastic, but it sure is fun seeing various production choices and being able to name every movie it’s borrowing from. Sure feels like a lot of the same editing choices as Saw…

SHIVERS is such a fantastic debut feature. I would expect nothing less from Cronenberg!

Plus: searching for a protagonist; low-fi FX that hold up; the nonchalant acceptance of the rape of a minor; threatening queer sexuality; and an all-timer ending in the pool!

An isolated Montreal apartment complex comes under attack by a parasitic aphrodisiac venereal disease in the famed Canada director's genre debut, which a) nearly went to Hollywood and b) was publicly attacked because the movie was funded by taxpayer dollars.

There's no shortage of horror movies featuring traumatic eye damage, so what will you pick for #HQHalloween's Day 8 prompt 'Hates Eyes'?

Tomorrow on the Main Feed: forget the laundry, draw a bath, and don't bother locking the door because the residents of Starliner Tower will just break it down anyways.

We're celebrating 50 years of David Cronenberg's SHIVERS!

Today on Patreon: Who's ready for the arrival of Mason Verger (Michael Pitt)?

As HANNIBAL approaches the end game of S02, Bryan Fuller and co. bring Mason and Margot's story to the forefront, including a trippy set of dual sex scenes.

Suffice it to say, we're into it, whole "hog."

Tuesday's #HQHalloween is encouraging you to dip into Letterboxd's Top 50 Horror films.

Obviously it's all classics, so why not go with dark drama THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER?

It’s actually a terrible La Llorona film, but it is great!

ICYMI we dropped a new Micro Queers on BRUTE: 1976 which pays homage to classic rural horror titles like TCM and The Hills Have Eyes.

We're mixed on this one, which has one of the best deaths of the year and tons of queerness, but has terrible pacing/editing and a confusing message.

#HQHalloween wants you to start your Monday off with a little Mexican Folk Horror.

@joelipsett.bsky.social recently discovered this gem while covering La Llorona films and needs everyone to watch it!

There's never a bad day to watch a Pam Grier movie, which is why she's your Sunday #HQHalloween prompt.

There's also never a bad day to watch an Ernest Dickerson film, so BONES is the obvious choice.

Head into Found Footage territory with Saturday's #HQHalloween prompt, but make sure it's a non-English text.

How about a @tracedthurman.bsky.social fave with [•REC]²?

A Mike Flanagan film probably makes the most sense for a 'Hates Hands' prompt, but we thought a silly 90s film might also make for a good #HQHalloween watch

In theaters this weekend is the diabolically entertaining #BoneLake. This was one of my faves out of #FantasticFest last year, and that explosive climax is well worth the wait after all that edging. 😏

‘Bone Lake’ Review – Erotic Thriller Goes for the Jugular [FF 2024]

Erotic thrillers are a bit of a lost art, enjoying a Golden Age in the ’80s before tapering off in the mid-’90s around the time the genre was parodied in 1993’s Fatal Instinct. By the 2000s, notable e...

I recommend BAD DREAMS (1988): It's more grounded than ANOES, but this sorta-knockoff also acts on the nightmares trend, albeit somewhat tardily.
