what do u think abt the mandela catologue? personally im terrified but its one of those series thats like weirdly scary but hysterical in picture form. the amount of times ive seen a still of it and thought it was a meme is weirdly high. might just be the jerma memes tho.
i think i talked about it recently and my feelings on it are extremely negative LOL
like i think the only thing working in its favor IS that the images are creepy but even that was partly ruined for me upon discovering that the most frightening ones are. Literally just search results for "creepy police sketches'. which on one hand i think is a really great sourc for horror imagery and i LOVE appropriation (art definition lol) like that, but it feels cheap when its like "oh that is literally just a jpeg the author saved off of 'creepy police sketch' google image results, ive actually seen that one before"
like imo it has extremely few fresh ideas (oh my god things mimicking people but being Wrong its not like that has been dominating the online horror scene for the past decade or so), doesnt even slightly succeed as analog horror due to not even Attempting to be convincing as its analog medium, but not really trying to do anything else. and even aside from that it has all my typical pet peeves, like the horror equivalent of jingling keys in front of a baby bc the author either isnt confident in their own work or isnt confident in the audiences intelligence enough to allow any degree of subtlety.
#like to be slightly fair i am extremely hard to please irt horror and very little affects me anymore but theres#plenty of things that dont work on me but i still think are Good and this is not it#like it has extremely little substance beyond vhs glitches and lazy attempts at being creepy#and my thing is of Course nothing is 'original' everything is derivative but i think theres#derivative thats transformative and derivative thats not#i guess the apparent meta-narrative about like evil angels or satan or smth is................... different?
