Don't think there's a jump scare in it, it's much more than a bit gross on the body horror front.

Also watched The Substance last night in an impromptu trip while kids are away for the weekend.
Quite the experience. I think it was really good but I have no desire to watch it again.
It's the most unsexy sexy film I've seen which I think is intended. For all the naked ladies in it, I just keep getting flashbacks to Monstro.
It's what you get when you cross french arthouse film with a Hollywood budget.
I had to cover my eyes and ears at various points.

Considering it was a film in which a beautiful woman is naked and having sex in multiple scenes Poor Things was also pretty solidly in the unsexy-sexy column too.
Is this Hollywood’s new way of having cake and eating it? We still get the nudity but we’re not supposed to enjoy it?

I had read that Gen Z aren't really fans of nudity and sex scenes in their tv and media, which was interesting.

Maybe because they have every form of hardcore porn on tap online, already, I'm sure.

Probably a larger proportion of them still living with parents due to ridiculous rent and the impossibility of getting on the property ladder.
And absolutely nobody wants to watch sex scenes with their parents...

There is quite a lot of boobage in modern tv series, though.

This is quite an Anglo Saxon angle tho, as TV on the continent always had way more nudity and sex in it, as they aren't as prudish / puritanical. Then you've got HBO in the US which basically made adult TV with the nudity  |

I’m kinda with Gen Z on this these days. Not in a massively prudish Mary Whitehouse sense, there’s just so much it’s all just bit pointlessly yawnsome now. Just get onto the next bit of the story please, we all know what sex and boobs are.

The days of Cindy Crawford shooting a guy while having sex with one of the lessers Baldwins on the bonnet of a car in Fair Game are long gone.

Terrifer
I guess it does what it meant to. It’s video nasty horror and some bits were done quite well, other bits not so much. Almost pointless to give it a rating. So I will.
6/10 better than Venom not as good as Moonlight.

Also, want to open the discussion. Is Art the Clown a clown or a mime? I say mime.

By sheer coincidence I watched Terrifier in tandem with some of Chimp Crazy and weirdly there are some parallels. You could equally pair Chimp Crazy with Nope and have a fun time seeing wher Jordan Peele took some inspiration from.

Alien Romulus: tricked me into thinking it was an alien film when in fact it was another prometheus/10
First half was really good, all the face hugger stuff was really well done, but the actual aliens were no more than supporting characters and then in the second half they got lazy and started doing pointless callbacks to previous films and finally taking the worst ending from the worst alien film to use as their ending. Rooks first facial shot was startlingly bad/off putting also (nice homage though).
Last Voyage of the Demeter: Nice sense of period but film totally drowned in unnecessary music which totally removed any creepiness or suspense for me. Take out the music, heighten the sound effects and they might have had a semi-good movie.

Alien Romulus: 4/10 - not sure where to start. I had a feeling it was going to be shit from the trailer. Clearly an Alien film for teenagers. I was rooting for the Alien all the way.

I seem to have spent every other night at my local cinema these last few weeks.
A sci-fi film lecture series (ongoing) Lee, Shaun of the Dead, The Outrun, Threads, Seven Samurai, The Teacher and last night caught The Substance.
Really enjoyed The Substance, though I thought it should have gone more Cronenberg and less Grand Guinol to make a more cogent argument. Maybe it was just me but the end was too 'funny/hysterical', but maybe that was the point.
Tonight? A showing of the OG Alien movie with intro from Colin Arthur who was behind the construction of Ash's head.

Starve Acre - 7/10
A nice slice of British folk horror set in the 1970s, and it's as slow as most films from the 70s too.
Great acting and a nice creepy tale, but it did feel like a very stretched out episode of inside number 9.
Also I'm not sure it has enough character development as I just didn't care that much, which is surprising considering the subject matter and slow nature of the movie.
Still worth a watch though.

How is The Outrun? I thought the book was excellent.
Really want to see Starve Acre too but holding off as signing up to Prime and the BFI Player watching it then cancelling both feels like a real faff.
