Please let me know what you thought about my #DailyScream / #DailyStream posts: open.substack.com/pub/flickfil...
The Nightmare Before Christmas
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: how to fill the gaping hole inside now that Halloween is over. #TheNightmareBeforeChristmas's Jack Skellington keeping the revelry going when he crashes Christmas and makes it his own? Same, dude. Same. #DisneyPlus US/UK
Donnie Darko
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: the dread of a future you can’t see. The vibe in 2001’s daring, disturbing #DonnieDarko is one of despair, but its real horror is cultural conformity, and the hypocrisy and the cruelty that enforces it. #Kanopy US, #Shudder UK
Censor
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: meta horror about how scary movies infect us. 2021's ambiguous, introspective #Censor examines on multiple levels how we digest horror movies, and how they linger with us. #Kanopy #Hulu US, #BFIPlayer #CurzonHomeCinema UK
Lamb
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: when the silence of the lamb is horrifying. The human relationship with the natural world comes under poignant scrutiny in 2021’s #Lamb, a most affecting example of modern folk horror. #ParamountPlus US, #Mubi UK
Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell in 2011's Fright Night
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: sexy scary vampire? hell yes! Anton Yelchin and David Tennant battle Colin Farrell's as-alluring-as-he-is-repellent bloodsucker in 2011's #FrightNight. Startlingly funny and brutal, often at the same time. #Prime US, #DisneyPlus UK
Was all set to make 2000's bone-dry satire #ShadowOfTheVampire today's #DailyScream, till I discovered movie ain't streaming anywhere. It's even out of print on physical media in US (tho not in UK). True horror. (Anyway, here's my review from back in the day: www.flickfilosopher.com/2001/01/shad...)
The Others
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: haunted, and haunting... 2001’s #TheOthers is classy gothic horror, old-fashioned in the best way: no CGI, just mysterious footsteps and movement in the shadows and hushed whispers and slamming doors. On #Prime + #AppleTV US/UK.
It Comes at Night
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: coldly elegant postapocalyptic misery. 2017’s #ItComesAtNight, tense with a nameless disquietude, runs the emotional gamut from jittery to hopeless. Enjoy! #Kanopy US, #Prime UK
2017’s Raw
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: flesh and blood... so much blood. Julia Ducournau’s shocking, visceral #Raw (2017) casts female desire as ravenously predatory in a way that few films have ever had the audacity to do. Not for the squeamish. Really. #YouTube US/UK
Sarah Polley and Ving Rhames in 2004's Dawn of the Dead
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: hell is full, 21st-century style. 2004‘s #DawnOfTheDead remains, 20 years later, a watershed cinematic moment for GenX, the first slasher/zombie/splatter horror that felt like a part of the post-9/11 world. #Starz US, #Netflix UK
Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston in 2014's Only Lovers Left Alive
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: when we ordinary mortals are the monsters. I’m so in love with the vampires of 2014's #OnlyLoversLeftAlive (Tilda Swinton & Tom Hiddleston), with their lofty idealism, their engagement with history, science, art. #Hulu US, #Mubi UK
The Exorcist
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: is there someone inside you? 50-year-old #TheExorcist leisurely and deliberately builds a tower of fear in a way genre movies no longer have the patience to attempt. #Max US, #BBCiPlayer UK (for 11 more days)
Rebecca Ferguson in 2019's *Doctor Sleep*
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: when ghosts of the past still haunt the present. 2019’s #DoctorSleep (The Shining sequel) cements the strange & supernatural as undeniably authentic. No suspension of disbelief needed... and that’s really scary. #Hulu US, #Prime UK
Bruce Campbell as Elvis Presley in 2002's Bubba Ho-Tep
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: end-of-life nightmare despair in 2002’s #BubbaHoTep, as Bruce Campbell(!)’s nursing-home-resident Elvis Presley (it makes a sick sort of sense) battles an ancient Egyptian mummy. #Prime US; on DVD but not streaming in the UK, alas
The Descent
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: the movie that made a screening room full of critics whimper. 2005’s #TheDescent makes you wanna pull your legs up onto the seat lest something hideous reach out from underneath and grab your ankles. #Max US, #Prime UK
The Cabin in the Woods
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: meta horror #CabinInTheWoods works on levels you didn’t even know existed. Deeply terrifying and uncomfortably funny, it updates for today ancient, atavistic terrors that have fueled scary stories forever. #Max US, #SkyCinema UK
Michiel Huisman in 2016's The Invitation
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: it’s regrets — massive regrets — only for 2016’s #TheInvitation, Karen Kusama’s haunting exercise in paranoia and suspense. The perfectly eerie ending lingers... #Shudder on both sides of the Atlantic, also #Kanopy US, #Prime UK
Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in 2007's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: shorn of the dead. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp do sick, twisted, and droll adapting gory Stephen Sondheim in 2007’s #SweeneyTodd. It’s all operatic gruesomeness and cobblestones-and-fog moodiness. #ParamountPlus US, #Prime UK
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: the only vampire feminist spaghetti western. #AGirlWalksHomeAloneAtNight is gorgeously sinister, its creepy cool engorged with suspense and desire. #Kanopy US, #StudiocanalPresents UK
