Past: Father was born from a top assassin group, but hated it and became lowkey insane over the thought of becoming an assassin and killing people, so he was able to leave the group and fell in love/married a normal woman while hiding his past. Riko was born from the two, but it became clear at a young age that she was different from other kids. Her father started to become paranoid and tried to give her things and spoil her to become normal, and for a time it seemed to work as he showered her with dolls and cute clothes. However, her mother was killed by someone, and Riko just so happened to walk in to see her mother’s dead, bloody body on the floor, and as she stared shocked down, her dress becoming dirty with blood when she knelt down to wake her mother up, her father came in and saw her, immediately believing that she was the one who killed her with the blood staining her clothes. A close friend of his and still member of the assassin group listened to what the girl had to say and tried to explain to him that it wasn’t her, though slight insanity came through as he refused to believe that his daughter didn’t kill her, ending up with him straight out abandoning her and leaving her in the custody of his close friend, who raises her from young. Riko is the one who chooses to grow up to be an assassin, and allows her father to feel resentment towards her instead of  trying to convince him herself as she and her now-uncle find out it was a rival assassin group that killed her mother, so she lets him resent her instead of blaming himself, as she does love her father a lot, and her love of cute things such as dolls and ribbons is because of him. This also pertains to her slight obsession with money, as both her family became in debt a few days before her mother’s death.

Primrose

Quatermass 2 is the first sequel to actually use the number “2” in the title. The character of Bernard Quatermass was created by Nigel Kneale for The Quatermass Experiment. This was a groundbreaking piece of British sci-fi horror when the series aired in 1953, with Quatermass investigating what happened to his rocketship when it returns to Earth with two men missing and the survivor catatonic. It’s soon discovered the ship ran into an alien lifeform which threatens to overtake the world if it isn’t destroyed.

The series was a huge success and Kneale soon penned two more series, with the second season following in 1955 and Quatermass and the Pit in 1958. Not only are the Quatermass shows considered landmarks in British television, but they also had a profound impact on series like the original Doctor Who series. The three serials were also adapted into movies by Hammer, with the success of 1955’s The Quatermass Xperiment helping established the company’s reputation for horror. Hammer’s 1967 version of Quatermass And The Pit is also considered a genre classic and is arguably the most famous of the franchise.

Kneale was famously opinioned about how filmmakers handled his work, including removing his name from 1982’s Halloween III: The Season Of The Witch when his original script was rewritten. While he liked Hammer’s Quatermass And The Pit, he wasn’t fond of The Quatermass Xperiment – especially since the BBC sold the movie rights without paying him extra – and felt the miscasting of gruff American actor Brian Donlevy as Quartermass hurt the project. Nonetheless, Donlevy was brought back for Hammer Horror’s 1955 version of Quatermass 2, and while it’s far from the first movie sequel ever produced, it appears to be the first to use “2” to denote its status.

Quatermass 2 is something of an Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers-style tale, where Donlevy’s scientist discovers that alien parasites are controlling humans as they quietly plan an invasion. The sequel had a higher budget than the original, which can be seen with the increase in action and creature effects, and it condensed many of the events of the original serial. The horror is still surprisingly effective in parts today, including the grim realization that the alien’s minions have pulped human bodies into a pipe to prevent Quatermass from using it to kill the alien creatures hiding out in a tank.

Since the original show and the character were little known in the U.S., Hammer retitled the horror sequel Enemy From Space. While Quatermass 2 being the first numbered sequel gives it an intriguing footnote in film history, it’s generally considered the weakest of the Hammer trilogy. That said, it’s a very enjoyable pulp sci-movie. Kneale wasn’t particularly happy with it either despite working on the script. He later brought his saga to a close with 1979’s Quatermass, a four-part TV series starring John Mills in the title role, and Jaws 3D’s Simon MacCorkindale co-starring.

Consequences by victorine @victorineb General Audiences // M/M // Galahad/Tristan (King Arthur 2004) Selected Tags: Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, surprise heat, First Kiss, Fluff, Summary: The stupid thing was that, for once, he hadn't even been thinking about kissing Tristan. Normally it was all he could do to stop himself from claiming that tempting mouth, poppy red and – in Galahad’s imaginings, anyway – petal soft, working itself into that curling smirk that brought his breath short. He had devoted long hours to constructing first kisses in his mind: some deep and lingering, some gentle and faltering, some filthy-sweet and wet. And all perfect. Instead, in the end, he kissed Tristan for the first time by clumsily smashing their mouths together because the omega simply wouldn't shut up. In which Galahad plants a kiss on Tristan and gets far, far more than he bargained for from the omega.

Hannibal, an android scientist working for the Verger-Pazzi Corporation, finds his dear friend's death unacceptable; additionally, the opportunity to study the newly-discovered species is too tempting to turn down. The Company looks to profit; the crew of the Baltimore, to cope; the resurrected and hybridized Will, to accept his fate.

GETTING  TO  KNOW  THE  MUN :

NAME :    Samantha NICKNAME :    Sam FACECLAIM :    Jennifer Ellison specifically from Phantom of the Opera  PRONOUNS :    she  /  her HEIGHT :    5′7″ BIRTHDAY :    June 11th AESTHETIC :    aestheitcally pleasing movies, good books, writing notebooks, and the color pink LAST  SONG  YOU  LISTENED  TO :    Stairs to the Attic by The Antlers FAVORITE  MUSE (S)  YOU’VE  WRITTEN :   Mischa, Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch, and Terezi Pyrope

GETTING  TO  KNOW  THE  ACCOUNT :

WHAT  INSPIRED  YOU  TO  TAKE  ON  THIS  MUSE :  Reading Hannibal and Hannibal Rising really spurred my interest in Mischa Lecter. I had seen other, much older RP accounts roleplay Mischa and I figured I’d give it a try. I was inspired by her death in the snow, and kind of built the aesthetic of her character around that, as well as her ability to make an impact on people just by being who she is; see, Hannibal Lecter, and much later, Nigel.

WHAT  ARE  YOUR  FAVORITE  ASPECTS  OF  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE :  I like that she’s vulnerable, but has a lot of inner strength. She is a natural survivor, and has become somebody that can withstand almost any kind of horrible, traumatic situation. She’s not tough in the typical sense - Mischa cries easily, feels too much, is soft in her words - but she’s mentally tough, and knows how to pull herself through situations without becoming cruel or broken..

WHAT’S  YOUR  BIGGEST  INSPIRATION  WHEN  IT  COMES  TO  WRITING :  My biggest inspiration has always been other authors, namely Stephen King and Thomas Harris, as well as the lyrical beauty of the band The Antlers. Roleplayers on here (and you know who you are) have challenged me to become a better writer as well, and keep me challenged to always, always do better.  

 I tend to see other, real people, as pictures in my mind. Often times, I am able to understand the full picture of a person even if I only know them for a short while. It’s a strength of mine that I try to use to mine and others advantage. I tend to understand people as a full image, even if its not an image that is wholly positive. This helps me in my writing, as I am able to get inside of people’s heads, whether they be real or fictional, and portray that information through words.

FAVORITE  TYPES  OF  THREADS :   Character exploration and plot-heavy threads BIGGEST  STRUGGLE  IN  REGARDS  TO  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE :  Having the time, and being able to focus. Focus is extremely difficult for me in all aspects of my life, not just RP. Following through on things, completing all steps of a project, and making sure I stay committed can be difficult. But it’s something I have to work for every single day.

Rushed Tag Dump to get it out of the way

[theconservativebrief]

Ever since 1999’s The Blair Witch Project sent early internet denizens scouring the web to figure out if its spooky, shocking story was actually true, we can’t seem to get enough of found-footage movies.

In the 19 years since Blair Witch’s theatrical run, 18 found-footage horror movies have made $15 million or more at the box office — which constitutes a financial success, considering how cheaply most of these movies are made. (See: The Gallows, which made almost $24 million on a reported production budget of $100,000.) That’s about one hit per year. As niche tastes go, found footage has a nice track record.

The subgenre has also seen its share of genuine blockbusters. Blair Witch and 2008’s Cloverfield became bonafide cultural phenomenons during their days. Two of the Paranormal Activity movies topped $100 million at the US box office and another grossed $80 million, huge hits for three consecutive Halloweens.

As streaming takes over, the market has continued to grow for the kind of low-budget, easy wins that found-footage films can provide, and the barrier to entry for filmmakers looking to try their hand at some quick-and-dirty handheld scares is lower than ever. Searching “found footage” on Amazon Video yielded 222 results.

So what is it about found footage? In an age when you can pull a phone out of your pocket and record movie-quality video, I think there’s something deeply authentic and compelling about a movie that mimics something we ourselves might shoot. It’s escapism in its rawest, most intimate form. Pair it with the primal emotions of horror, the genre that’s home to most of these films, and you have a reliable formula.

Personally, I love found footage, and think it doesn’t get enough credit for how flexible it is: It’s a subgenre that can work for everything from claustrophobic chamber dramas to fantastical epics like Cloverfield and Troll Hunter. I myself often find the cheaper ones, in their rawness, more compelling and more legitimately unsettling than the found-footage movies Hollywood produces. The amateurish aesthetic only heightens their effect.

But as any fan knows, the quality variance is high, and not just because seemingly anybody can make a found-footage movie. You’re as likely to find a dud as something memorable — and you can never be sure which you’re going to get, given these films rarely attract top-tier stars or directors that might serve as some kind of proxy for quality.

However, in the defining paradox of found footage, that can also be their strength. Strip away the big names and movie magic gloss, and you’re left with a couple actors, a camera, and a story — and when the right combination clicks, it can result in an effectively terrifying experience.

This fall, I jumped headlong into the world of shaky cams and sudden pans to something creeping around the corner. I’d seen the big hits and the cultural touchstones — now I wanted to burrow deep into the found-footage catalogs on Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Shudder. (If you haven’t seen The Blair Witch Project, it is on you, my friend, to correct that immediately. I think it holds up. Just don’t expect the scariest movie you’ve ever seen.)

I found some great horror flicks. I also saw some duds. So, as a Halloween treat, and in an effort to uncover some hidden gems, I’m pointing you in the right direction with this list of some of the best found-footage horror available on streaming. And I ranked them, because why not.

(Sadly, I cannot recommend that you watch [REC], the 2007 Spanish entry that’s probably the masterpiece of the subgenre. The only version available to stream is a very bad English dub and I would not wish that on anyone.)

The details: USA, 2014. Directed by John Erick Dowdle. Available with subscription on Netflix.

Why watch: Sometimes, all a found-footage film needs is the right setting. This descent into hell (played here by the Paris catacombs) is visually mesmerizing, which makes this movie worth your time even if the scares can be a bit inert and the drama a bit hackneyed. Plus, Perdita Weeks is compulsively watchable as Scarlett, the alchemy student who brings a documentary crew and ex-boyfriend in tow, and the hellish final act is appropriately bizarre and discomfiting.

This is one of those found-footage movies with an impressive sense of scale: You’ve taken a real journey by the final frame.

Try if you like: The Descent. With its narrow passageways and suffocating sense of claustrophobia, the comparison is inevitable.

The details: USA, 2013. Directed by Karl Mueller. Available with subscription on Shudder.

[embedded content]

Why watch: It’s best to go into Mr. Jones knowing as little as possible. Part of the joy of Halloween horror movie season is stumbling upon titles you would never otherwise look for and seeing where they take you. That mindset can only help when watching Mr. Jones, which takes likable characters and distinctly creepy imagery and applies them to a story that becomes quite the head trip. To say much more would spoil the fun.

Try if you like: Unbreakable — but, again, I’m reluctant to elaborate. Let’s just say found footage has a special ability to, in its practical limitations, force filmmakers to be more imaginative.

The details: Canada, 2012. Directed by Christopher MacBride. Available for digital rental on Amazon and iTunes.

[embedded content]

Why watch: This one benefits from a great set-up: What if the man raving about the end of the world outside of Congress was right?

I’m a sucker for any found-footage story that’s framed as “everything went wrong for this documentary crew.” There isn’t much more here than a killer premise and a memorably creepy finale, but that is one beauty of the found-footage genre: These movies often don’t need much more than that to be successful.

Try if you like: Rosemary’s Baby. The occultism is omnipresent, and the movie is less interested in scaring the pants off of you than in constantly nudging you about how near to your own reality this whole scenario seems to be.

The details: USA, 2016. Directed by Phil Guidry, Simon Herbert, and David Whelan. Available with subscription on Amazon Prime.

[embedded content]

Why watch: The most horrifying thing in Savageland might be the dialogue uttered by some of the white, openly racist side characters who populate its mockumentary pastiche.

Say this for the filmmakers: They’re willing to let those characters be as nasty as need be. They don’t pull any punches in this gory tale set in Arizona near the US-Mexican border. Through a narrative not unlike that of Making a Murderer, we learn the story of a Mexican immigrant who might have been wrongly accused of a truly gruesome crime.

This is another small film, made on a self-evidently low budget, that has a big imagination and is bedeviled by tough, urgent political questions.

Try if you like: Get Out. It’s certainly not the scariest film on this list, but, like Jordan Peele’s masterwork, this movie is more interested in making you uncomfortable than making you jump out of your seat.

The details: USA, 2016. Directed by Nigel Bach. Available with subscription on Amazon Prime.

[embedded content]

Why watch: This is a genuine one-man show that might leave you wondering if Nigel Bach just took $1,000 and rented a random house for a weekend. Bach (who receives every notable credit here) plays Tom, a man who thinks he’s buying a house that will make for a quick flip and a tidy profit. But then the furniture starts to move on its own.

As found-footage set-ups go, Tom’s reasons for filming are left a little … vague. But you don’t come to these movies looking for iron-clad logic. And even with no budget to speak of, Bach’s film still got to me, thanks in part to an unforgettable final shot, which has been a staple of the genre since Blair Witch.

Try if you like: The Blair Witch Project. The setting is totally different, but Bad Ben marries a do-it-yourself-attitude with an impeccably realized atmosphere in a way that echoes found footage’s breakout movie.

The details: Canada, 2011. Directed by the Vicious Brothers. Available with subscription on Shudder.

[embedded content]

Why watch: Finally, a little self-awareness: Colin Minihan and Stuart Ortiz, a.k.a. filmmaking duo the Vicious Brothers, effectively spoof those ghost hunter shows that were briefly a hot trend, while still building toward a genuinely suspenseful second half.

A key element of many found-footage films set in one place (which is a lot of them) is geography. Each haunted house or hospital has rooms or hallways — or, in the case of Grave Encounters, tunnels — that start to gain a personality and help build expectations that skilled directors like the Vicious Brothers can then exploit as the audience grows a little too comfortable.

Try if you like: Scream. It’s not taking itself too seriously but there are still solid scares to be found.

The details: USA, 2011. Directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. Available for digital rent on Amazon and iTunes.

[embedded content]

Why watch: Looking back, it’s honestly impressive that the Paranormal Activity series squeezed three worthwhile movies out of its premise. There was so much potential for this franchise to get stale — and it did, eventually — but it took longer than you’d think.

The mythology really took over as the series went along, and the third film’s exploration of the story’s universe, while turning back the clock a little bit, gives it a fresh feeling and a gloriously gonzo finale. The 1980s, with their flickering, ever-skipping videotapes, are a great period for the found-footage aesthetic.

Try if you like: Any Paranormal Activity movie. This is a series you can jump around in, so if you’ve only seen the first or gave up after the second, this is the franchise at its best.

The details: USA, 2015. Directed by Stephen Cognetti. Available with subscription on Amazon Prime.

[embedded content]

Why watch: Critical to any found-footage movie is the set-up. Why are they filming? Why do they keep filming? Why, for the love of God, do they keep filming?

As set-ups go, Hell House LLC’s is pretty great: A crew of drifters put on haunted houses for money in random towns over the Halloween season. They like to record themselves for the memories and to document their talents in scaring their guests. There’s an implied history that adds some heft to the characters and their relationships.

But as the movie goes on, the haunters become the haunted. Their latest house has a bloody backstory, and, as we learn at the very beginning, something is going to go horribly wrong on Halloween night. But what?

This movie is extremely seasonal in the best way. There are also clowns. I’m not going to say anything else.

Try if you like: It. With its strong sense of place and some seriously scary clowns, Hell House LLC is a nice compendium to last year’s huge horror hit.

The details: USA, 2013. Directed by Blair Erickson. Available for digital rental on Amazon and iTunes.

[embedded content]

Why watch: Your definition of “found footage” might vary, but much of The Banshee Chapter is archival video or in-universe uncovered footage placed within a mockumentary framework. It counts.

It’s also, scare-for-scare, the most frightening film I’ve seen this year. Director Blair Erickson just knows how to craft a terrifying moment, and the film’s backstory of real CIA programs adds to the disquieting ambiance. It’s unsettling throughout, and you’ll yelp at least once.

Try if you like: District 9. Especially in its formatting, the film is reminiscent of that movie’s blend of found footage and conventional moviemaking.

The details: USA, 2017. Directed by Patrick Brice. Available with subscription on Netflix.

[embedded content]

Why watch: The Creep films constitute the only found-footage series that doubles as an enthralling, inexplicable character study. Mark Duplass stars as our killer, Aaron, who is … reflective on his murdering ways. He likes to share. He likes to talk. He even hires random people off the internet just so they can film him talking — for starters, anyway.

The first Creep, released in 2014, is good, but the second, which brings Desiree Akhavan’s Sara in as Duplass’s sparring partner, is even bolder. It’s sort of funny, highly uncomfortable, and totally terrifying in a few sequences.

Try if you like: The Silence of the Lambs. Duplass’s unforgettable performance, combined with his complicated relationship with Sara, a worthy foe, reminds me a lot of the Hannibal Lecter-Clarice Starling classic.

The details: Japan, 2005. Directed by Kôji Shiraishi. Available with subscription on Shudder.

[embedded content]

Why watch: This is the mother of all horror mockumentaries. Whereas many other found-footage movies go small, Noroi runs in the opposite direction, with a speaking cast of well over 25 characters and a nearly two-hour runtime.

The film follows paranormal researcher Masafumi Kobayashi, who embarks on a hellish odyssey while investigating an odd woman, her mysterious son, and some strange deaths. Along the way, we get a taste of everything: Japanese variety shows, classic talking heads, presumably recovered footage from Kobayashi’s own files. It gets very meta when actress Marika Matsumoto shows up playing a possibly possessed version of herself.

Noroi is more interested in building a searing sense of dread than conventional scares, but images from its final reel will still burn into your brain. Shiraishi is maybe the world’s only found-footage auteur (he’s made at least four others over the past decade or so), and Noroi shows all the things he can do with the form.

Try if you like: The Ring. Maybe that’s a bit obvious. But J-horror does have its own distinct mood, so your feelings about the most successful American crossover are probably a good indicator of how much you’ll enjoy Noroi.

The details: USA, 2014. Directed by Adam Robitel. Available for digital rental on YouTube.

[embedded content]

Why watch: A possession movie that starts as a drama about Alzheimer’s disease, The Taking of Deborah Logan offers such a singularly brilliant premise it’s a little baffling that nobody thought of it before.

For this subgenre, The Taking of Deborah Logan stands out as an impressive artistic achievement. It is first and foremost a painfully relatable family melodrama, with affecting performances and fully realized characters. But the terror comes hard and often in a second half that goes off the rails in the best way, when our millennial documentary crew discovers they are filming a very different story than they originally imagined.

Try if you like: Hereditary. Jill Larson and her remarkably malleable physique dominate this movie much the same way Toni Collette owned 2018’s best horror film. Both films successfully plumb issues of mental health and psychology with a demonic motif.

The details: UK, 2013. Directed by Elliot Goldner. Available for digital rental on Amazon and iTunes.

[embedded content]

Why watch: What makes Final Prayer work so well are the relationships: a semi-disgraced ex-priest is joined by a goofy, agnostic cameraman and a mildly authoritarian church official to investigate a demon-haunted church in rural England. The performances are strong and the characters actually get the time to talk about life and reveal themselves a little.

The trio sets up cameras in their house and the church and they wear headsets almost constantly because they’ve been charged by the Vatican with figuring out whether there is any evidence for this alleged haunting. It adds a little authenticity, providing an answer to that ever-present found footage question of why they’re filming and why they keep filming. You get agonizingly still, quiet scenes while waiting for something to move in the sanctuary (a la Paranormal Activity) and more kinetic action when we switch to the characters’ point-of-view.

It’s creepy throughout, without leaning on jump scares. Then, at the end, the story goes in a wildly unexpected direction.

Try if you like: The Exorcist. Final Prayer’s horror incorporates a lot of Catholicism, in a good and thoughtful way.
