This is probably one of my top films ever. Some of the most fun and creative practical effects, great story, stellar performances, and overall absolutely infectious.

This movie in a packed theater was so much fun. Everyone was gasping and also laughing. Incredible movie watching experience.

RE-ANIMATOR (1985)

I think this is the closest a film can get to visual perfection. I'm so late to the party on it, but I finally knocked it off my watchlist for the first time yesterday and I'm obsessed with it now. The colors are gorgeous, the old practical effects are so fun, and the whole thing is so weird and campy. MWAH. PERFECTION. I think fake blood being shot on whatever cameras they were using in the 80s is genuinely one of the coolest textures/colors in film. The opening credits are so fucking cool & the performances are stellar. It got a standing ovation in my living room. Still have to watch the sequel! (TW for attempted assault scene, heads up!)

The Substance (2024)

I’m sure this movie has been recommended by many on this app over the course of October but I need to add my name to the list of recommenders. I linked my review (it does have some spoilers towards the end) but I needed to get some thoughts out. Even after finishing the movie over an hour ago I’m still thinking about it and the visuals. A movie made in the language of film, in the lineage of films, for people who care and respect about cinema as a unique artistic and storytelling medium. If you need a final push to see this movie, please let this be that final push.
