Body Horror Beatdown, Match 17, Round 1
Vote for your favorite:
Propaganda under the cut.
Mad God:
A journey beyond your wildest nightmares.
"Mad God is THEE body horror movie in my mind. Stop motion animation and heavily stylized live action combine to create a disgusting fetid mass of living things that fester in cruelty and industrial squalor. Everywhere you look something is alive and wet and moving in ways it shouldn't. It's a deeply disturbing film that wormed its way into my heart with its beautifully fucked up visuals and lack of consideration for mass appeal."
The Thing:
Man is the warmest place to hide.
jesus christ i have so much propaganda for this. it's my (the poll runner's) favorite in the bracket btw <3
"IT'S AMONG US, BUT WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF GORE DONE THROUGH PRACTICAL EFFECTS. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?"
"ROB BOTTINâS EFFECTS ARE THE BEST IN ANY FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND I WATCH A LOT OF HORROR FILMS WITH A LOT OF EFX AND I GOTTA SAY HE DID A FANTASTIC JOB (HE WAS 22 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF DOING THE PRACTICAL FX FOR THIS FILM) Also it has Kurt Russell in it what more could you want"
"It's the best most special thing with all the fancy abilities"
"Awesome practical effects that still hold up, wet and slimey beasts, Kurt Russell looking hot"
"THE body horror movie. Ever wanted to see KY jelly and chewed up bubblegum used to create the most horrifying, gooey, and bulbuous mass of a creature you've ever seen? I SURE DO!!! It's such a practical effects monster especially with the big puppet-thing at the end that took almost fifty people to operate, AND the sound design with all the crackling and popping... ough. Just the first transformation scene with the kennel-thing is enough sicken someone. It's so good."
"all sequence of the thing is entirely practical effects, the blood and the gore, the tentacles and different versions of the thing. the practical effects were actually shot after the rest of the movie had wrapped up because making the effects took so long. they actually had an amputee in the scene where a characters arms were ripped off by the chest mouth in the defibrillator scene. Honestly John Carpenters magnum opus that was hounded by critics when it came out, but rightfully ADORED by horror fans in the present day for its amazing practical effects and awesome plot. bold and daring move to hide a lot of the characters eyes in many scenes, eyes are window to the soul and the thing doesn't want people knowing."
"I mean, this movie is an icon of body horror. Miss alien ate and the practical effects still terrify me on repeat viewings."

what happened with jack doohan in the 2023 silverstone sprint?
okay correct me if im wrong bcs its been over a year so i may not be remembering correctly, but⊠he and ollie were battling for many laps (ollie ahead), and he was complaining on the radio as he always did about "he's pushing me off! this is so unfair!!" (and also the 6383 cuts to his dad, i CANT)(like i have nothing against daddy doohan. but the way the f2 camera men always went "AH jack is struggling! put daddy doohan on the stream ASAP!!!!" had me dead)
and then when ollie slipped off the track (wet conditions), jack did this:
i was furious
#okay honestly if it had been another driver maybe i wouldve found it a little funny#but god how mad i was#agsjdbddjdj#he was the is*ck of 2023 but just much less annoying#also kinda funny how i keep talking about hating whiny drivers when like#i rewatched the 2022 season and heard all of marcus armstrong's radio messages and just. yikes.#love him tons either way tho#asks!#anon!

I think one of the reasons Mad God gives me such a discomfort is the fact that everyone is remarkably alone. The assassins seem to be clones with no individuality sent to die, alone. The hair creatures are the same way, alone. Those with partners inevitably die, alone. The assassin dies, alone. The baby dies, alone. The alchemist presumably dies, alone. The bugs, the monsters, if any one of them had any semblance of connection, it is ripped from them.

OH MY GOD HOW COULD I FORGET TO SAY THIS
ok so if youre someone that loved skinamarink because you loved making theories and connections as to what exactly were the themes and messages that the movie was trying to convey and if youre a really big fan of finding gross and icky things pretty and beautiful and if you love stopmotion mixed with irl acting and if you like grungy nasty dirty underground secret civilization on the brink of collapsing settings then please please please PLEEEAAASSEEE go watch Mad God
its created by one of the staff that had a huge role in making and producing RoboCop and Jurassic Park and it was a film he started working on in the 1980s but due to stopmotion films starting to become less popular he stopped working on it but in recent years he got motivated and fully produced and published the movie in 2020 and it is so beautiful and incredible in a dark and gritty way with a variety of imageries ranging from sexual to the brutalism of war (in a non-bootlicker way dont worry) and it is fucking FANTASTIC i love it and you should watch it its very good theres not any dialogue at all if i remember correctly and its all told through visuals and the character and set designs and methods of creation for many of the things used for it is incredible and you genuinely cant tell what parts of it were done in the 80s-90s and what parts were done in the 2010s its insane. please go watch it if you loved skinamarink please pleas please pelalslespls
#the bun talks#skinamarink#skinamarink 2022#skinamarink 2023#mad god#mad god 2021#mad god movie#to add in the movie also only has over 300k in box office revenue which i think is a crime#since it was made with a 150k budget#but thats not to take away from skinamarink cause jesus#2mil for a 15k budget movie#indie creations and creators i love you so so so much

Horror Movieâs I just watched: May 2023
Shorter list this time. Here we go:
Resurrection (2022) I saved this one for Motherâs day because I heard the main character was a Mom. I was a bit afraid it wouldnât factor into the plot that much, but I was reassured, especially with the final scene.
This is another one, kinda like Censor, where the whole thing might be in the protagonist's head. Where sheâs so wound up tight at the beginning that her daughterâs accident only starts the ball rolling in her head some nightmarish fantasy of the worst case scenario. It helps that we never got any confirmation about whether of not Tim Rothâs character was a hallucination or anyone else can see him. Hell, given that we never get a flashback with him and his first lines is him saying he doesnât recognize her, thereâs a disturbing possibility that he is real, but is some poor guy who just looks way too much like her ex and sheâs hallucinating everything he said. And that final reveal about the baby actually being inside him is too surreal and supernatural to not have heavy implications if it wasnât in her head.
Granted, like the best of ambiguous films, the story works regardless if this theory is right or not. The point is, externally or internally, this character is tormented. I feel like the moral of this story is; Girlbossing can only help you in limited ways. When it come to trauma as severe as this, try to find therapy. Though given our culture, she still probably couldnât. Itâs not fair.
Mad God Here was a movie I couldnât take my eyes off, and I still feel like I missed a few things. Thatâs how striking the imagery was. I donât know what I can add to whatâs already been said about the themes that others havenât already. Cycles of violence not solving anything, the de-personification of mass labor, civilizations rising and falling again despite the sacrifices; those are what I can glean. Also, being reminded at various points of Eraserhead, Fallout New Vegas, Metropolis, and Cemetery Man. Probably not even half of that was intentional.Â
It just wows me. Any one of the creatures in this could be the centerpiece or high point of any other film. Stop motion really has become a lost art. Sure, we know now a big reason why studios heavily prefer CGI, despite how good it actually looks, is cheaper and faster to make then any other effect. But works like this show that, if youâre actually comfortable letting film take as much time as it needs and use as much money as possible to make it look good (Better there than some executiveâs overstuffed salary), youâll allow a lot more variety in how each film is made and look. Gee, itâs almost like time crunches and trying to save money is actually bad for the product. WhO kNeW?
Scare Me I recognized the male lead, Josh Ruben, from CollegeHumor. And after that, this whole movie, to me, played like an extended Hardly Working sketch. Iâm not sure if thatâs good or bad.
I was worried a whole movie mostly about two people (briefly three) telling scary stories, and not actually showing us the stories, would look too cheap. Thankfully, there were some technical flourishes. The performances, including the bits their characters acted out so theyâre effectively a performance in a performance, are good even if the stories themselves are hit or miss.Â
The first werewolf one is just goofy, but thatâs intentional. The Grandpa one is ok, even if itâs a touch ableist at a point. The trollâs a bit fun. And the âdeal with the devilâ one has a fun payoff.Â
What this actually ends up being about, insecure white male (maybe?) getting violent with his more successful female colleague was pretty inevitable given how passive-aggressive they both are. Honestly, that theyâre both such a-holes help kept what would be a too uncomfortable situation pretty light. You can mark this as another case of âactor known for comedy taking a serious villain role to show their rangeâ movie, like Robin Williams. This was effective enough here, though I donât know if it would work for him outside of it.Â
Final note (and mild spoiler for two films), canât help but felt like the mid-credit scene reminded of the very end of the 1982 movie Death Trap. Not sure if that movie was a direct inspiration for this. I saw that for the first time about a month ago so itâs fresh on my mind. Outside of that, this is pretty much a good hang-out horror movie. Especially for fans of the old College Humor.
Thatâs all for now. Iâll probably have less films to talk about next time, but Iâll try to make up for it in July.
