In Fabric (2019) A24 Horror Film Movie Review * Spoiler Free

[@rhythmoriented]

A24 continues to kill it in 2019: Midsommar, High Life, Climax, (criminally underseen) Under the Silver Lake, and now TWO upcoming films this fall: In Fabric and The Lighthouse. YESSSSS!

Loved Under the silver lake also It Follows from the same dude

[@janeeyre1081]

A24 is my spirit animal from now on!

[@rhythmoriented]

Gonzo Gaming David Robert Mitchell is brilliant. The “I write the songs” sequence currently ranks as my favorite scene of the year.

[@deathrowslag78]

@@rhythmoriented yeh awesome scene. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next

[@spookyastronauts]

I love A24 too!

[@mjslawrence9554]

This was such an interesting movie. Love the atmosphere and style. I did like the first half better than the second.

[@spookyastronauts]

I agree!

[@timporter758]

The film fulls apart after the first half ends. Regardless of the fantastic energy and tone, the second half destroys any credibility. It’s just one of those post modern horror films, that doesn’t want to be a horror film and thinks it’s way more intelligent then it is.

[@dustinwilson3275]

first half solid, second half directors probably had too much cocaine but penultimate scene of second half is golden

[@pa5666]

@@timporter758 I think they did want to be a horror film. There are too many horror elements to say otherwise, and looks very inspired by Suspiria.

[@thewinterland]

This is definately one of the most original films I've ever seen. I'll never forget the main "Sex" scene in this movie. I think you know what I mean. I chuckle every time I think about it.

[@spookyastronauts]

Yep I know!

[@RipleyE-we1hj]

"It's one constant WTF moment after another". I'm there!!!😅 Actually, I'm already sold the day they released the trailer.

[@spookyastronauts]

Hope you see it soon!

[@RipleyE-we1hj]

@@spookyastronauts I hope so, too. Thank you! Cheers!!!😁

[@galaxi407]

Watched it last night. I was a cross between in shock and hard laughter. Marian is a great actress.

[@theretrosavage]

Suspira for sure...with a touch of a "Twilight zone" episode

[@josephburleigh9367]

One of the reasons I dig you is you bring stuff I wouldn’t have heard of anywhere else. Thanks!

[@boolocklock]

I saw this film back in May at my local film festival. All I can say is that killer dress is gorgeous but very strange. At first, I didn't like it but the more I thought about, the more I appreciate it for its bonkers idea. Plus that score is incredible.

[@Always-ve9vq]

In soviet Russia, the dress wears you...

[@contemplativegirl21]

The plot sounds a great deal like the 2005 South Korean horror, Red Shoes.

[@spookyastronauts]

Oh I think ive seen that one! this one is all about the actual reality, less about the dress!

[@contemplativegirl21]

@@spookyastronauts Girl, if you haven't it's great--the movie that made me fall in love with Asian (specifically South Korean) horror. Off the topic of In Fabric, I would love to know if you've seen Bedevilled (2010, South Korean...not the 2016 phone app one, lol). If not, I highly recommend and would be interested in hearing your review.

[@gamelairtim]

This sounds awesome! It sounds like what Velvet Buzzsaw's marketing made it seem like, or maybe "What if Christine were a dress?" but weirder. I am ready for it to be released!

[@DrGregoryHouseIT]

I remember an older film with the same 'evil dress' story, it was called 'I'm Dangerous Tonight' if I remember well.

[@twinklesuperpalm]

This film hasnt been released here in Greece or Cyprus but the film played at the Thessaloniki film festival where it was sold out. I loved it, is very original. Great review btw

[@shaunward923]

If it's as good as Suspria I'm all in

[@spookyastronauts]

Its not like Suspiria at all but it does have a similar atmosphere!

[@shaunward923]

@@spookyastronauts your review has got me excited to see it can't wait. Thanks for the reply, New subscriber lol

[@pa5666]

I got lots of Suspiria vibes while watching it! I really need an explanation for everything in the movie cause the backstories would be amazing!

[@TheAnadromist]

Thanks for the heads up on this film Emma. I'm pretty curious. I am a sucker for films that enter the zone between beauty and horror. And this sounds like it gets near that zone.

[@Allgloss312]

If youre into that style I also recommend Nicholas Winding Refn's Neon Demon if you havent seen it already. The visuals are gorgeous and it does blur the lines between beauty and brutality. Overall left me wanting more and it wasnt totally mindblowing or anything but I recommend it to anyone who likes hyperstylized artistic horror.

[@TheAnadromist]

@@Allgloss312 I found Neon Demon to be a fascinating film, which I'm going to eventually include in my study of beauty in horror films.

[@Allgloss312]

@@TheAnadromist if you have any other suggestions of movies in that style, please let me know! Im kind of obsessed with these themes and style after seeing Neon Demon and In Fabric.

[@TheAnadromist]

@@Allgloss312 Hmm let's see. Well obviously there are many films that feature beautiful women and stylish settings, but actual horror films where beauty is actually part of the subject matter of the film? A couple of older films stand out. One is Daughters of Darkness a strange stylish Belgian vampire film from the 70's. The Hunger (with David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve) is another vampire film that emphasizes the beauty of the vampires as they never age. Likewise Jim Jarmusch's strange vampire film The Only Lovers Left Alive follows a similar theme. Both versions of Suspiria play a high contrast between beauty and horror, especially emphasizing the dance world too. Eyes of Laura Mars deals with a serial killer in the uber-chic high fashion world of the late 70's. And do not miss Ms. 45, with an absolutely unique sense of beauty and horror. The 1946 (!) film by French master Jean Cocteau, La Belle et la Bête (Beauty and the Beast) is jaw-droppingly beautiful and strange. But the one which really hits the nerve for me, my all time favorite, is from 1959 another French film called Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without A Face) the subject matter, which features deformity and and plastic surgery, is beauty and horror. Stunning stuff. Work your way up to this one. Other films of note: Dagon, The Cell, The Company of Wolves, Cat People (1941), Mulholland Dr., The Love Witch, Dead Ringers. Finally I have been slowly getting a new channel ready... it features my own work in this area. I haven't announced it to the world yet. There is much more I need to upload. Give it a look. kzbin.info/door/ppi2paqCdI4v6YBrtb3k3g

[@moomoopuppy508]

Miss Luckmoore is the shit! My favorite lines of hers is: "A date? Well? And what kind of date? Food and drinks? An embellishment of occasion, for instance, but also the emphasis of comfort and pleasure. Thus you will DESTROY two birds with a stone."

[@travishollyman2430]

Good review, love you don’t fumble around.. just right to the structure of the film and the deeper meanings. Good job

[@modalsoul6511]

Great review luv, been looking forward to this one for some time now

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you!

[@modalsoul6511]

spookyastronauts of course luv, keep rockin 🙌🏼

[@radovalef2901]

A modern giallo...I'll be definitely checking this one out !!!!

[@andressrojas]

I don't know what to think with this one. The first part was great, but the last part was a mess. I don't know if they couldn't pay for Marianne Jean-Baptiste or if she had to film other thing, because her story finished so abruptly and the rest of the movie is so boring and uninteresting. I don't know why this has so good reviews. It's seems nowadays like when somebody does a nonsense art movie is a genius and original. In this case, great photography, great music score, great acting at the first part, but the story it's full of things that goes nowhere.

[@spookyastronauts]

It wasn't what I was expecting for sure! I know what you mean

[@06KK]

It should have carried on the way it was for at least another 15 minutes, then had some huge, bat shit crazy 20 minute climax at the department store. Such a lost opportunity!

[@jacobneale5844]

for sure has been on my list of movies I want to watch!!!!!! I can't wait!!!! great video! hope your having a good weekend!!!! :)

i'm still trying to figure out what decade it set in! lol. i thought maybe the 80s or 90s. the tvs and phones look very 80s.

Somehow I missed all info on this film. I need to keep my eyes open. I plan to give it a try. Good review. Thanks!

[@jnc3880]

I've been waiting for this one and The Lighthouse (2019). I hate waiting! I then find myself looking for CAM recordings online. Has The Lighthouse been released yet? Im hearing great things about that one too. Oh, I loved Suspiria (2018)! It's a film that gets better, the more you watch it. I also LOVE Tilda Swinton. She's criminally underrated.

[@QuadiePoo]

I loved this movie! Honestly probably A24’s best. I bought it for $5 today on iTunes and I felt it was worth WAY more than that. Felt so good. Felt like Argento for sure

[@spookyastronauts]

It's already been shown at a bunch of festivals over there!

[@RandomHorror]

@@spookyastronauts oh then shouldn't be hard to find.

[@NorthWolfe]

That "Fabric" looks amazing on you, or is it you look amazing in that "Fabric"? Can't wait to see this movie. Not being a fan of cheap scares (you're 2/10), I much prefer a deep unrelenting "haunting". Hope this is one of those experiences which just keeps creeping into our mind, Cheers.

[@kitranewton4964]

Oh now I understand. I watch the movie today. N I was alittle confused. I couldn't get the concept. But It was intriguing a does make the sense do the clothes wear us. N what's the history on that fabric or piece of clothing. Nice work.

[@bish8256]

I really love your reviews, I really watch everything you recommend.

[@mich9391]

Here in the UK the film has already been released so we're lucky :) Also I think A24 are on a roll at the moment!

[@RavenHouseMystery]

The premise sounds a little like "I'm Dangerous Tonight" (1990), though that film was more of a straight up haunted dress tale.

[@darkfudge]

awesome thanks for the review

I watched this movie too early. Since I'm not good listening at english other than American accents, I kinda understood 30% of the plot and I had to wait for english subtitles. Then I watched it again and OH WHAT A MASTERPIECE

[@MrDMagz]

Great review Emma!

[@WestCoastChicano]

I really don't like comedy mixed with horror. However, An American Werewolf in London pulled it off brilliantly. It was pure perfection. As for this film, I'll probably skip. Gr8 review, Emmi! 🎥 🍿 🌺 👻

I just watched it and loved it though I do feel it was packed with too much, particularly with the addition of the second story. ❤️Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Brienne (blanking on her real name lol)

[@pa5666]

Yeah, the first story was so good and kind of fell apart in the second half but still interesting to watch!

[@lc3920]

60s/70s Fabric pattern book aesthetic? I’m in

[@spookyastronauts]

Try saying that five times fast!

[@jessechuff]

Just want to turn you all into Duke of Burgundy which Strickland also directed! Not necessarily horror per se, but a strange erotic stylistic thriller that is worth a watch especially if you liked Berberian Sound Studio and this new film!

[@helirauanheimo3983]

I'm probably the only one, but for some reason this film seriously creeped me out!

[@gregjr.8268]

this movie was far from a comedy..... it gave me the feeling of somebody whispering the same unintelligible sentence in my ears, over and over....

[@nate_d376]

I tried to watch this, I'll admit though, I was really tired, and couldn't follow it, and fell asleep. I'm gonna have to give this another go soon.

[@nataliazart]

Please review Parasite.

[@spookyastronauts]

I saw it last month, loved it but it’s not really horror, so I left it.

[@brajeshsingh2391]

I liked this movie and its take on consumerism and how it forces to make hard choices. though it needed a bit more work on the script which felt abstract but still it was a good film. In the sense the film managed to emphasize its point. Like the Lighthouse its ending would also be open to interpretations but a good effort. I thought this film could have gained from a mainstream approach to the narrative with the symbolism thrown in between. But a very watchable movie and well made. This is good horrrar as the lady says it.

[@brajeshsingh2391]

i must say I really like the enthusiastic tone with which the lady presents her review. maybe its the accent but I like her presentation or critique. encourage her to review other genres as well.

[@jasonram7593]

yes!!!! thank you for doing this!😭😭 and the directors cut for midsommar was awesome! definitely made me feel like i was watching an entirely different version but with the same plot🌼

[@tylergcole1727]

Was the longer cut better of midsommar? Was the plot easier to follow?

[@jasonram7593]

Tyler G Cole i don’t think it was easier to follow but it was indeed more smooth, less harsh transitions if that makes sense.

@@spookyastronauts ayyy appreciated

[@yidrotha9722]

in my opinion this movie was so good then the hour mark happened and after that the movie just started to bore me and i'm hard to bore but i will say the ending got me back. i'm so conflicted on this movie

[@starsmash7491]

This movie was a big miss for me. Couldn't believe they got rid of the initial characters story (I love Marie Jean Baptiste) which was the only interesting element to me. Once that left, the whole "living dress" and even the "vampire" stuff got extremely hacky and had no substantial ground to stand on because it had a shaky plot. I think this director tries hard to be esoteric and just doesn't know how to tell a good story. He gets too ambitious with his storytelling to the point where the basics are thrown out. I was attached to the first story with the characters and then couldn't care less what happened after that. Probably the worst A24 movie I've ever seen and I was surprised to find out they were associated with this, but they all can't be hits I guess.

[@martinlarrivee5081]

I think this one is a misfire by A24. It's obviously a thin idea that was way overstretched for a full feature. Would have work maybe for a short film, but here it feels long and boring, kind of uneventful. It's going for a mix between David Lynch's universe and Return of the Killer Tomatoes... but it feels forced and doesn't have the wit and the brilliance of what it's aiming for.

[@aprilw964]

Havent even finish watching the movie yet. One the weirdest movies i ever seen 😒

[@cassidee1473]

I love your reviews and I've loved horror movies all my life, but this movie is garbage. Sometimes art is just a forgotten trashbag in a corner on opening night at the gallery.
