“Watership down… TO HELL!”
Haha you beat me to it!! 😅🐰🍼
😂😂😂
You said Watership Down to Hell, and I completely lost it! Now I've got to clean up soda off the floor. Worth it! 😂😂😂
Nick coming in hot with that intro 🔥😂
I agree with Joseph. I want stuff to happen. Moody slow burns where nothing happens for an hour and then everything happens in the last 15 minutes is very unsatisfying. I like your suggestion of reworking the timeline of the story by jumping into it then adding the dad's story in flashbacks to help the pacing and create more urgency and intrigue.
It's like some movies aren't even trying and then just say they're being artistic.
Your story needs a plot, sir.
👍 Captured my thinking... I liked the movie, but if it was a first folkhorror I would like it more, but nowadays the genre of it was almost beat to death... The reanimation of hare was the most interesting part, everything else I kept thinking "seen it... seen it... seen it...". Should it be more action? Eh... But it definitely could use something other than "rural people being nice, but actually are sinister and weird, and culty with alternative motive...
“I like Matt Smith’s hair. It’s long, it helps….” more shade in this sentence than there is behind Big Bertha’s Bountiful Butt 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣
After being traumatized for life by Hereditary and Midsommar, I can't do any folk horror that's anything more than moodiness and suggestion. 😂
Don't worry, Starve Acre is not that intense like Hereditary.
Not even close to hereditary, and you sort of see everything coming. Except for the horse eye, just skip past that part after you hear the horse squeel at the fair scene. Otherwise no gore or animals harmed.
"Apostasy" is fantastic, I'm really excited for Starve Acre
So it’s part Wicker Man, part Pet Semetary, and part Hereditary? Okay. Cool. But I agree a prequel of Matt Smith’s characters dad as the last adherent to this cult seems more interesting
Donnie Darko did LSD and this is the movie he made in his mind.
He didn't find the bones in the box. He dug them up.
“Leech Woman” made a big impression on me when I saw it on tv as a child. What a t-shirt, Nick! And, of course, thanks for the review.
This is right up my alley. I dig this genre. Tori Amos' album Boys For Pele had a particular photo in the artwork similar to the ending.
Yes Tori is photographed by collaborator Cindy Palmano breastfeeding a 4 day old pig. Actually Atlantic Records made it into a billboard at one point. Tori said the pig symbolized the unconscious, a metaphor of hidden nurturing.
Brought a whole new layer to "suckling pig"
Andrew was one of my instructors for the second semester of my MFA Programme. Apparently there are two versions of the book. The film - I watched it last night - seems to be based more on the first version of the novel, which has more graphic violence in the end. The second version has a more psychological approach to the material. I read that one; it was my favourite novel from two semesters of the Novel Reading Module. The movie is good, especially the tone and visuals. The book is great.
This theme is somewhat similar with *Lamb* (2021) - the mothering part of the curse is horror 🙃Also, kids in horror genre you've reviewed recently🤔with TBW (Kit Harrington), Abigail...Joseph's notes sometimes dwindle to just one☺
You two have planted a vision in my mind that I cannot get rid of... the suckling hare!! 🍼🐇
I won't ever be able to look at the bunnies in my yard again, without letting out a lil' giggle!! 😅🎉
I feel like promoting Enys Men as folk horror was a mistake on the distributor's side. This movie is much more arthouse than anything else. And I say that as someone who loved Enys Men.
You guys are rocking out those unique shirts. Who is the woman draining men Nick?
Coleen Gray in The Leech Woman.
Womb was a banger of a film
Lol I just read the summary of that movie and went "wtf". Glad someone liked it though 😂
@@sandythemaster6898 it's one crazy film! I recommend it to everyone!
So did the wife become possessed or just so far gone mentally that she just gave in to the evil lurking around?
Thought you guys would mention Lamb(2021) by Valdimar Jóhannsson. Its closest to that and a bit of The Witch.
Why does horror have an absolute fetish for showing animal gore? Literally required in every horror film I've seen in the last 5 years, and usually within the first 10 minutes.
I’d read enough reviews to know that there was an evil kid and animal violence. Poor pony.
@@dragonchariot I made the mistake of watching this blind and finding out the hard way
couldnt agree more, i turned off so many movies and shows just because of this! Almost turned this off, too. Wish i had, the movie was pretty crappy.
I felt so bad for the pony, I even cursed this kid in my mind. I think it was so forced and unnecessary scene. Maybe some people like to be masochistic with animals so they make scenes like this. That's what made the movie not so appealing for me.
@@pauIlo ever since a professor had us watch the OG Wicker Man in class I’ve been extremely cautious when it comes to folk horror.
Matt Smith is great in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON
Dandelion..
I just noticed your Blue Links to previous FJ reviews, while looking at others comments!!! Is that new? I love it, thanks for the new content!! 😆🎉
Oh…I’m not sure what you’re referring to lol
@@fishjellyfilmreviews o
OK. So now they have disappeared...
We seen breastfeeding in The Witch and Barbarian so I'm not really sold on this ending.
This movie isn´t released yet.
Yeet
(SPOILER!) It makes the movie more interesting if we interpret it like the rabbit was satan itself, who came to earth, and that everything is a pre-apocalyptic thing. That Rabbit came to bring chaos. It wouldn't end like this. [4.5]
I'm probably going to skip this one. The lady that plays the wife is Galadriel in the *unholy abomination* that is Rings of Power, and I 100% hold that against her, and this movie Lol.
She is pretty good as an actress. I mean who would turn down an Amazon funded LoTR gig? Its just a job.
