“Do you ever feel at times as if you’re not a person? What I wish to say is that you’re not truly present, nor alive, as if you’re at the whim of another, like a dog. Someone or something had the power to breathe life into you, to move you.”

watching a movie 4 times in the span of 2 weeks is unprecedented to me - even all of my Smile 2 rewatches were all spaced out in a near…

a movie hasnt wholly stuck with me or lingered around my mind for a long while and i rlly dont know why this one out of the literal hundreds of horror movies ive seen has affected me as much as it has, but this gets better with every rewatch and deserves to be heralded as smth truly magical. the first Smile operated as a way to show how the healthcare…
slowly branching out from (mostly) strictly horror but i forgot this is widely branded as “the best Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never made”….. at least im getting somewhere! somewhat!
delightfully unsrs with its genre mixings - bursts of engaging suspense, scattered heartfelt romance and silly ludicrous comedy - alongside reggie never giving a damn that Grant is constantly switching identities or never being wholly honest abt who he is and why he’s in her life. both leads r fantastic with tantalizing chemistry as their…

Bodies Bodies Bodies and Clue for cheating straight ppl (theres multiple aspects that directly parallel it) and Suspiria for its beautiful pastel, vibrantly drenched lighting, everything from the neon red closeups to the dark purples and rich blues looks so goddamn good im such a whore for stunning lighting but outside of that the editing in this is so seamless and fully adds to the backstabbing chaos once it amps up,…
so unsubtle and in your face (good) that its like 5000 hammers crashing onto your skull and forcing you to understand everything thats going on and what its trying to convey with the repetitive (not in a bad way) shots of failing to meet the picture-perfect standard with your perfect other half: equally disgusting, heart-shattering, gorgeously glamorous, perfectly acted, extremely bloody and all around spectacular. movies r so fucking back in the best way possible PLZ go see this if…
