Cade: The Tortured Crossing (2023) // Dir. Neil Breen

[lexaprolexicon]

I'm gonna sound so lame but I love shitty horror movies. People still put effort into them, and art doesn't need to be perfect. Give me a plot that doesn't make sense and generic or weird characters. I may not react in fear, but I'll still find joy in it.

Thoughts on Robert Eggers' "The Lighthouse"

"The Lighthouse" is a story of two men tending a lighthouse in the middle of nowhere and their dreading descent into madness, as a raging storm arrives, keeping them from returning home.

As their supplies get destroyed and depleted and with the water contaminated, they stick to drinking liquor, their mental and physical health deteriorating more and more by the day.

The almost square screen ratio amplifies the claustrophobic atmosphere the viewer experiences by watching them, living together in a cramped room. Combined with a monochrome color palette and dark imagery, it creates an atmosphere of constant dread, foreshadowing impending doom.

Mainly inspired by a true story and ancient mythology, it's a movie about dominance and rebellion, lies and betrayal, about fighting against primal urges by desperately clinging to the last dying bits of sanity, but also carrying a lesson: That pursuing and gaining enlightenment usually comes with a terrible price.

I'm not sure whether I like that message, but in the movie's context, this makes perfect sense.

Pattinson's and Defoe's brilliant performances paint an unsettling, at times even grotesque portrait of two men and their progressively volatile relationship in the face of isolation.

I'm writing this after my first re-watch, because like "Nosferatu", it's full of hidden details one cannot understand on their first watch. Since I really love Robert Eggers and his movies, this was no problem for me, at all. <3

If you really like deep, dark stories and respectful adaptations, garnished with a lot of research and occult symbolism, Robert Eggers is the guy for you and I highly recommend watching his movies.

To me, Robert Eggers is a genius, finding just the perfect amount of make-believe, neither validating, nor denying it's existence in the context of his movies. He keeps you wondering about whether what you see is real or just imagination - but would finding out the truth even matter?

By the way, "The Lighthouse" uses hardly, if any cgi, and cost only about 11mio dollar.

NEW BASEMENT COMMUNION !

We’re finally back with the belated conclusion of our discussion on the original Violent Sh*t movies by Andreas Schnaas. Here @grindhousecellar and @revterry focus on the second film in the classic German no-budget, splatter-horror series Violent Sh*t II: Mother Hold My Hand (1992), which follows the exploits of Karl the Butcher Jr. as he seeks to avenge his father and make his mother proud by dispatching random citizens around town. Picking up where they left off in Part 1, the hosts discuss the slasher film’s welcome inclusion of the iconic metal mask, butt-rock, and left-field kung-fu choreography.
