I would love to see a video on Gaspar Noe, or just videos focusing on directors I think that's a great idea

[@Ztracenavpraze]

Ahoj, Juli 😁. Zdravím z Prahy! Emma je naprosto boží!

[@juliekrocova]

@@Ztracenavpraze S tím souhlasím! :)

[@GreetingsFromBlackwoodFarm]

I concur! Great idea for a video series!

The Baby is so unsettling and bizarre. It still stands out to me all these years later.

[@mikesilva3868]

🙃

[@Dearest_orugitas]

I don't comment on here much at all but I had to say thank you!! I've found so many great movies because of your videos and recommendations. It saves me a lot of frustration lol

[@spookyastronauts]

Oh thank you so much, that means a lot to me

[@terryterryd]

A YES vote from me if you did a Gaspar Noe "season". Thanks. Enjoying your content.

[@thewinterland]

I would love this too. One of the greatest film makers of all time!

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you!

[@SimianJack]

Same here. I *like* Noe's films, I LOVE Enter the Void.

[@sepiarain]

Climax absolutely blew my mind! A rare 5 star for me. I have only seen this and irreversible though.

[@Lifesizemortal]

@@sepiarain climax has to be a 5. There's nothing out there like it!!

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

CONGRATULATIONS on 77K!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you!!!

[@DainDenham]

A video on directors would be awesome! I think Gasper Noe, Dario Argento, and Darren Arafonsky or even Lars Von Teir would be great.

[@haleyarmstrong8595]

Love your idea for doing a series on different horror directors!! I would absolutely watch them all, whether I'm a fan of theirs or not. I'll always be a fan of yours! Thanks for the fun content! ☺️

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks for the feedback

[@jamiepaich]

If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend "The Midnight Meat Train" with Bradley Cooper. Yep, Bradley Cooper in a great horror movie 🎥

[@MsFuechslein]

I love that movie so much

[@jamiepaich]

Yeah, I felt it was a great thriller/horror; very satisfying 🤗

[@Brian-lf4zg]

would love a video talking about directors !

[@bloodygoodjune9292]

Yes, a Gaspar Noe video would be pretty cool!

[@louisrastig]

More Gaspar Noé-content, please! He definitely belongs to the most original, living directors

[@spookyastronauts]

I agree

[@cygone]

LOVE is a very moving and mesmerizing film. One that made reflect on my past failed relationships. Almost like a vivid dream.

[@spookyastronauts]

Agree!

[@horrorableshow]

“Screensaver of a bird” I died. 😂😂 Congrats on ‘77!!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@spookyastronauts]

😂😂😂

[@danieladamico5485]

I'm a big fan of The Lodge as well!

[@spookyastronauts]

Yay

[@SarahRenniexoxo]

YES for Gaspar Noe I absolutely love his work especially since I love disturbing films! Speaking of disturbing films I'm sure you made a video about what's coming to VOD in November last year and Sleepless Beauty was a film you mentioned and the reviews and critics were saying it was like SAW and Martyrs so I've been waiting months for it. It finally came out last week and I've never been so disappointed I'd really love to know what you thought of it :)

[@rileybraukman597]

LOOOOVE your videos. Thank you for putting so much time and work into em 💜

[@oguzhankusoglu4579]

Awesome video as always! Thanks

[@PinupSarah]

Watched The Dark and the Wicked on Shudder last night - highly recommended!! 😱👌🏼x

[@joeertman]

Loved that movie

[@Dearest_orugitas]

YES!! This movie blew me away. I don't ever get scared anymore with horror movies (except for Hereditary 😆) and this movie messed me up.

[@Killallhippies401]

Scared the hell out of me honestly and I don’t scare easy it’s up there with hereditary scares

[@josephblumenberg6574]

Minari was so fantastic! Definitely a contender for my movie of the year!

[@LisaLoves]

Nice list. I love how many movies you watch. Normally I'm the same, lately I've fallen behind massively. I need to check out a few you recommended here. Minari is next on my list. FINALLY finished 'Dark' last week. Mind-blowing!!! I so wish I'd watched season 2 and 3 closer together though.

[@alexblaze8878]

On a side note Emma, I just spent the last hour comparing the most popular VPNs against Surf Shark. It really is one of the least expensive VPNs (assuming I sign on for a 2-year plan) and is one of the most robust VPNs out there. I think I’m going to get it.

[@spookyastronauts]

Give it 30 days... as I say I pay out of my own pocket. I didn’t sign on to work with them until I used it for a year myself

[@george6022]

Its so awesome you talk about the lesser known movies too! I loved 13 Tzameti but no one I know ever heard of it. Definite subscriber here!

[@watchthisnow2865]

I'd be interested in a video on Gaspar Noe's work. If you enjoy making it, spotlighting other filmographies could be a fun way to explore movies on the horror/thriller/suspense bubble that you don't get to talk about very often.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks! Between us... I’m thinking of ranking their films 🤫

[@EmpressLunaa]

Literally standing in front of the microwave popping popcorn while scrolling to see what movie I’m going to watch and then you posted 🤣🙌🏽 so ready for new suggestions , thank you so much !!!

[@FritzTheCat1030]

Yes please on the Gaspar Noe video! Love is the only film of his I still haven't gotten around to watching, but I think I will try to do that this weekend.

[@spookyastronauts]

Ohhh I hope you like it!

[@mayasixtus1573]

"I care a lot" felt a lot like "death at a funeral" the British one. And Mr. Dinklage is in both!

[@horroradorer]

I’m late getting to this vid but I also finally watched Seduced this past month! It was craaazy. It was super super interesting. Thanks for the awesome content, as ALWAYS. 🖤✨

[@geekyhijynx8442]

Great video! I wanted to say thank you for the Feb recommendations video... has given me a lot to watch and review! I recently did shook and I turned to my good friend Captain Morgan straight after lol look forward to more reviews :)

[@lunamoonbaby4865]

I really enjoyed Hunted! It felt different somehow, kept me hooked

[@spookyastronauts]

Sammeee

[@IlPersona]

I would totally follow a series where you talk about particular directors and their art. Noé would be awesome, and your love of his films kinda sets you apart from much contemporary criticism (although see Ebert’s review of Irreversible. It is spot on.) - Ki Duk Kim also has quite a few older films that are haunting and beautiful and sometimes horrific. If you haven’t seen his films from the late 90s early 2000s, highly recommended. Oh. And of course my favorite. Lars von Trier.

[@junebug3809]

Always look forward to your videos..no matter what they are!

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you Dee

[@mariahslittlelamb8049]

Love this! Would love to see more content like the last video you made

[@lalomedinamunoz1348]

Yeeeeeeeees! Do the videos about directors. I've been watching Gaspar Noe's work lately and it is fascinating.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you!

[@AnaCristinaPreto]

On a different note, thank you for the promotional code 😊 Now I can watch even more horror stuff 😁 I’ve been following you for a few years now, and I absolutely love your channel! Greetings and keep on the good work! 😊

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you for supporting me

[@game8]

Season 2 of The Leftovers gets even better! Definitely one to stick with.

[@yolandar.allison7098]

And then season 3 goes right off the rails.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks for the feedback

[@kaztromance6935]

I would 100% love a Gasper Noe feature, Emma! Irreversible warrants it's own deconstruction video: the use of Infrasound, the sickening images coupled with those dizzying camera angles... *SHUDDERS*. Also, I kind of loved The Baby. I feel that it completely subverts your expectations around themes of abuse and, I couldn't help but cheer inside during the big reveal which I found strangely wholesome. Just me? Okie dokie. Great video btw :)

[@spookyastronauts]

I had to lay on the floor last time I watched irreversible

[@kaztromance6935]

@@spookyastronauts It is an utterly devastating film. I cried for hours after watching it.

[@mikesilva3868]

Great review loved the colossal movie ☻

[@dednolb1824]

Yes please! I would love a video about your favorite directors!!!

[@vanessalaughtland4417]

I am really intrigued to see Love, even though I have a bit of a mixed response to the movies I've seen so far. You got so much watched! I've definitely had more of a TV month than a movie one - Adam and I binge watched all three seasons of The Fall in just over a week, and now we're almost done with season 1 of Dark!

[@kalitrembley]

The Visit is such a great movie. Also Paperhouse. I don’t think enough people know about that movie.

[@guccitears1]

I am a huge stan for Gaspar Noé. i watched his filmography at the end of last year with Climax coming one of my favourite movies of all time. please do a video of him!!

[@emmuhhhh]

Great video! I’d love to see a directors/Gaspar Noe video! :)

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks Emma

[@nikolettszarvas8186]

I would love to see a video on Gaspar Noe's work, and other directors also. Thank you for the great content!

Just discovered your channel and I love it . I followed you on Letterboxd I am Flicktrailers

[@PollyW326]

I love these end of month recaps, Emma! I've added a couple to my Watchlist for sure. And yes, re: the Britney doc... #freebritney! As far as TV Seduced is on Starz, no? My cable company made that channel a la carte and I'm not paying for it... we already pay enough. Shame because I wanted to see that one.

[@blinddog1212]

I was thinking about watching The Baby, but I'm dragging my heels! So many good obscure gems on Tubi, though. Would be great to see you do a video on forgotten gems on there!

[@kimberleysze7402]

Yay you are the best I’m so excited for you

[@amirrhodesve791]

please watch wayward pines. you will not regret it!!! we dont see many shows like this. i read this somewhere describing it 'A highly sinister cross between Jim Carrey’s The Truman Show, Nicolas Cage’s The Wicker Man, The Walking Dead, The Twilight Zone, and Wes Anderson’s Resident Evil films, with of course Blake Crouch’s incredible storytelling, suspense, and government-agent touch.'

[@spookyastronauts]

I will soon :)

[@mel6508]

I never heard anyone else talk about The Baby! I watched it on a lark on Shudder and...wow. I'm actually a social worker and I work with people with disabilities and I had a lot of thoughts when watching it...

[@MrAndy12878]

Never ever a bad wrap up with you, minus a few you said were duds of course lol. Spotted a few newbies to watch & some to revisit so thanks #spookyastronauts The Company of Wolves is a good throwback 🎞 to rewatch 😈 Got the weekend covered along with YT review videos to binge 👌🏼👍🏼🤟🏽🤟🏽

[@limetreess]

I hope you watch Tell Me Your Secrets in March!! I’ve been dying to hear some reviews on it (especially yours) but seems like it hasn’t really caught on yet. I think you will really enjoy it, true psychological thriller.

[@spookyastronauts]

I’ve started it!!! :)

[@GreetingsFromBlackwoodFarm]

I watched all three seasons of HBO's 'The Deuce' this month. I fell in love with it. Absolutely amazing show. Highly recommend it!!!

[@michaelkay5142]

I bought "Lords of chaos" on your recommendation. Good movie! Keeping it Spooky!!!!

[@Celestialrob]

Saw Delicatessen at the cinema in Belgium when it came out. Loved it. Great visuals.

[@lindackissell7490]

I would definitely watch director vids, and I like special effects info as well. Go You!

[@Celestialrob]

Would love to hear your thoughts on the work of Gasper Noe. I think an occasional director retrospective would be fun. But a lot of work for you. Thanks if you do it.

[@katelyngummere]

would love a video on gaspar noe! i love his work and i want to see more people discussing him

[@SimianJack]

Very big on directors and their bodies of work, I'd love to see you do individual focus pieces on them. I'd be fascinated even if your eventual choices for directors aren't ones I watch or like - you might give me something new to appreciate in their films. I'd love to see you do one on Shinya Tsukamoto someday, though less than half of his output has been horror. He's mostly known for Tetsuo: the Iron Man, a movie that I'm more fond of each time I see it - but honestly, it's not my fave from him.

[@jellogirl2010]

I watched Contagion last year at the beginning of the pandemic and I was like... "wow" at the end of it.

[@bengrimm_up_all_night]

Funny you said Love went viral for the adult scenes. I think it was kind of big on Tik Tok last year (when the movie came to Netflix in America) with lots of kiddos daring each other to watch the first scene. Also if you like Love I would recommend Newness which is a similar movie in theme

[@spookyastronauts]

The only reason I knew it got attention because of the sex scenes was because you told me 😂

[@rcordiner]

Season one of the Leftovers is an adaptation of the book but it's really season 2 when Damon Lindelof just let's rip with the craziness 😊 Thanks for reminding me to watch the Lodge again 👍

[@valenfr01]

i don't like gaspar noe and precisely because of that i would be interested in seeing your perspective as someone who likes his work

[@wolverinescratch]

Just watched Wrong Turn 2021 and I enjoyed it does what it does on the box

[@coreyconway]

Love is such a beautiful movie. One of my favorites

[@spookyastronauts]

I’m so glad! I thought I was the only one 😂

[@boydcrowder5034]

I still need to see Willy's Wonderland. Nicolas Cage is always great to see, even if he doesn't talk much. I'm also going to check out I Care A Lot. I've heard a lot of good things about it, so, it should be interesting. I watched a great, imo, variety of movies in February. Here they are: Color Out Of Space Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark Midsommar Evil Dead (2013) The Zero Boys Trick Fade To Black My Bloody Valentine (2009) Haunt Intruder Freaky My Bloody Valentine (1981) Me, Myself & Irene Say It Isn't So The Rental Alone Just Before Dawn The Evil That Men Do Freaky VFW We Summon The Darkness Billy Club I'd recommend any of these movies that you haven't already seen. Thank you for another awesome video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@spikeybwoy]

Delicatessen is one of my favourite films (and the inspiration for a Budweiser as). Did you see the Director's Cut of Lord of Illusion Emma? It is a much stronger film

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Believe it or not, Birdemic 2 is even worse than the first one. I know, heaven help me, I know. Here is my list of horrors and thrillers this month.

(1988) - score 2/10 SPELLBOUND (1945) - score 9/10 (Hitchcock classic) THE DARK AND THE WICKED (2020) - score 4/10 SAND SHARKS (2012) - score 2/10 GRETAL & HANSEL (2020) - score 6/10 LYCAN COLONY (2006) - score 2/10 (may even surpass Birdemic as worst film ever) CRUEL JAWS (1995) - score 2/10 GOG (1954) - score 7/10 DAIMAJIN (1966, aka MAJIN, MONSTER OF TERROR) - score 8/10 BLOOD BEACH (1980) - score 3/10 SQUIRM (1976) - score 3/10 13 TZAMETI (2005) - score 6/10 SPIDER BABY (1967) - score 4/10 ROBO VAMPIRE (1988) - score 2/10

I've been putting off Colossal for so long! This is my sign to watch it. And yes, FREE BRITNEY

If you want to see a good movie about wolves, check out "The Grey" (2012) starring Liam Neeson. Beautiful scenery and some really suspenseful moments.

[@Fuzziefeelings]

My recommendation for a must watch film is The Honeymoon Phase. Just great. Wow. Was hooked from the beginning! Saint Maud was meh, hated the ambiguous ending.

[@jahpunk7092]

I gave Love a glance and noticed that the soundtrack used music from an early John Carpenter film.

[@bethanyfja]

Yeah you did....you hit 77k, Em!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳 Girlllllll....I finished watching The Piper like 2hrs ago on your recommendation and man.....LOVED IT!! I was torn between giving it a 4.5 or a 5⭐️rating....I gave it a 5😍😍😍😍Such a precious hidden gem💎 To me it was a fairy tale in the broadest sense of the word....minus the happy ending. And yes....it totally leads you astray with that dreamy, fairytale vibe......boy...it was a sweet ride👏🏽Keep the recommendations coming, Emma!💋

Have you seen Anything for Jackson on Shudder? I've seen some other reviews and was curious to hear your thoughts.

[@spookyastronauts]

Yes I think I watched it in December, I talked about it in that monthly wrap up

[@DavobarX]

If you found 'Seduced' interesting then I recommend HBO's 'The Vow' released a couple of months before. It's a 9 part series with a ton of interviews and audio/video footage relating to former members of NXIVM and how they slowly came to realise the truth.

[@spookyastronauts]

That was the one I was watching first! Then people told me it was awful compared to seduced so I switched

[@DavobarX]

@@spookyastronauts I'd say it's a decent companion piece. Seduced is India Oxenberg's story but The Vow follows some of the other members you'll recognize from the Seduced footage. I found Mark Vicente's story particularly interesting considering he was the closest person to Raniere.. Worth a watch if you can fit it in :)

[@SeesThings]

77k Woohoooo. Looking forward to 80k. Thanks Emma.
