My favorite new watches of August 2022 were -First Reformed -Mishima A Life In Four Chapters -Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas -Bodies Bodies Bodies -Nope -Synecdoche New York -Black Phone -Crimes Of The Future -The Worst Person In The World -Cape Fear(1991) -Carlito’s Way -A Tokyo Story -Happiness(1998) -Creepshow -The Graduate -Adaptation -Wings of Desire -The Master -Cinema Paradiso -Buffalo 66 -Shame -Pink Floyd The Wall -The Holy Mountain -12 Angry Men

[@brianmaguda2188]

I rewatched Shame a few weeks ago and it seems to be relatable in an odd way. Not everyone has a sex addiction, but most people deal with inner turmoil that may or may not interfere with their interpersonal relationships. Gorgeous film. It doesn't shy away from the subject matter.

[@xtkpx]

got some GREAT films on there.

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Thanks very much for sharing what you watched in August with us, Emma. I've included a list of highlights (and lowlights) that I saw in August: BULLET TRAIN (2022) - score 6/10 (it was overall a fun ride) THE ANDY BAKER TAPE (2021) - score 4/10 (it felt too much like the Creep films) BLOOD FEST (2018) - score 8/10 (big surprise to see this film from a friend's recommendation and I loved it. Should make a great double feature watch with "Hell Fest" (2018).) BEAST (2022) - score 6/10 (Idris Elba vs. a killer lion, that's the premise and it delivers) THE BLACK PHONE (2022) - score 9/10 (Scott Derrickson strikes again with clearly the best horror film I've seen so far this year. The 1978 setting was also very nostalgic for me as I was about the same age as the kids.)

[@vanessalaughtland4417]

I think I'm going to check out I Want You Back - I haven't seen a good new romcom in a while and I'd like a chill watch, so thanks for putting it on my radar ☺️

[@dukeon]

I agree with you. Netflix and services like that are ruining documentaries. Good docos aren’t about themselves, they’re about the subject. Period. And they generally run for 30, 60, 90, or at most 120 minutes. I’m highly suspicious of “documentary series” as entertainment.

[@deaditeera]

I just started watching these and it convinced me to make a Letterboxd! Thanks!

I rarely hear anyone mention Annilation, let alone say they rewatched it. Like you, I absolutely loved it, and actually sent for a physical copy soon after I first saw it. I have rewatched it several times and find it just so incredibly beautiful and a really good story as well.

[@TheStoryTaylor]

Annihilation is such a good movie. From the aesthetic to the storyline. And that bear scene will haunt my dreams till the day i die.

The most insane thing I heard on Selling the OC was that agent who bought a 6000 $ machine that "breaks down water molecules" so she does not get bloated after drinking water.

[@spookyastronauts]

OMG! did you know thats an MLM?

[@urhorrorbestielara]

I completely agree with what you said about resurrection. The first time around once you get to a certain monologue everything just turns into a fever dream and you don’t know what’s real but rewatching it with the knowledge of what happened to her made the film so much better. Also selling OC was the ultimate guilty pleasure watch for me too this month lol

Thank you Tanner. ❤️❤️❤️

[@rayhutchinson640]

Just want to say thank you, Emma, for your fun and informative reviews! Your review of Nope intrigued me into going to see it in the theatre (my first venture back to the theatre since the start of the pandemic!). And now I'm hooked on watching KZbin reactors watch it for their first time! It's been my favorite alien movie since Arrival!

[@lh2354]

brb, will watch woodstock 99. i have no clue about this festival tragedy because i was born a year late (2000) hahaha. sarah hawkinson also talked about this in her monthly recap, and now im intrigued. thanks, emma!

[@TheSurrealist.]

I’m very surprised that you didn’t have more good things to say about Glorious! Oh my god that film was so good! J.K. Simmons voice acting alone made that movie fucking incredible! A cosmic horror comedy set in a roadside bathroom? Uh YES!?

[@spacecrimebeatz]

love your videos! Tnx for the movie info!

[@Thunderhippoable]

Not Okay was brilliant. it was good that I had a bit of prep with The Rehearsal first in that i was already in the mood for more in a similar vein with seeing how a manufactured scenario could give rise to real feelings and also the inherent damage that could bring about - Especially with how The Rehearsal and Not Okay resolved themselves, both were really well done and affecting. It also helped both were hilarious. Thanks for the recommend :)

[@stacey9730]

Thanks for the recommendations , NOPE is out on VOD I will be watching it tonight :-)

If you liked the rehearsal Emma you have to watch Nathan For You. It's truly mind bending and one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

[@martinlarrivee5081]

I'm eager to watch your review of Allegoria, I absolutely LOVED it!

[@anthonywheeler2082]

I was a teen when Woodstock 99 happened. Mtv News showed chunks of it at the time. Guys grabbing girls who stage dived in very inappropriate ways. Things getting set on fire. Scaffolding being torn down. It was a mess!

[@angelg8445]

Capitalist corporate greed, and angsty misogynist kids are a perfect mixture of everything wrong with society. When ppl say rp culture isn't real watch that film.

[@DessMelissa]

Yes, let s talk about Not Okay. That movie! It was so good, and though it wasn't super unpredictable, but it was super surprising at the same time! I loved it. It is like a car crash but you just want to help everyone but you yourself are also hurt by the wreck so you can do nothing. The ending was perfect and I loved it.

[@MrLando0]

Agree about Andy Baker Tape, good set up, no pay off. Let Him Go was pretty great, didn’t expect the violence.

[@ethanhechtner3619]

I think you would enjoy 'Honor Society'. It was on Paramount Plus here in the US so not sure where u can watch it. But I checked it out this month and it's a surprisingly great teen comedy. The best teen comedy since Booksmart. One of my fav non horrors of the year.

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I'd be so interested in hearing your thoughts on House of Hammer. For me it was just above average, but you and I tend to like the same type of true crime stuff. So I'd love to know what you think if you watch it!

[@spookyastronauts]

Ooo I’ll try find it

[@anxietastic_depressionista]

I wasn't bored by Resurrection but I didn't finish it. I may revisit it, but it hits on a tragedy from my past, and it's addressed in a strange and disturbing way. I like disturbing horror but that occurrence is my personal limitation I guess. I've seen this happen or be discussed in other horror movies without warning, and I usually can continue watching eventually, but idk with this one. I love Nope though!!

[@karenmacleod5265]

Really enjoyed this video Emma. Couple of recommendations for you. Have you watched The Silencing on Netflix? Really good. Also a tv series called Stath Lets Flats. Not horror. A comedy. Got a real-life brother and sister in it. The sister is also the main female vampire in What We Do In The Shadows. Very funny.

[@alistertowelie]

i love charlie day too

[@osonhodeleon]

There's a lot of interesting movies.

[@kingshisui21]

Thank you as always for your videos, I love watching them. Please consider watching mini TV series (6 episodes) "Third Day", it's very underappreciated but it's absolutely amazing! It's a psychological thriller-folk horror about a mysterious island and I think you might like it.

[@mr3465]

🖤

[@Christian-nb5yo]

I enjoyed Not Okay Zoey Deutch is so great

[@TheWisestWizards]

I actually can't remember, you may have even been the one that recommended it to me! But if not, I highly recommend the show Severance on Apple TV. It's the best thing I've seen in many years.

[@woodsro]

Not Okay did what I wanted Dear Evan Hanson to do 😆 I really enjoyed it too! Oh man the Girl At The Window 🤣🤣🤣 Loved Beast and Resurrection! Speaking of Rebecca Hall, The Night House > When I Consume You. Let Him Go is solid, enjoyed that too. “Gone in the Night” when by a different name when I saw it and I think the change was for the better because the original title was kinda a spoiler 😆 Those two guys in The Andy Bakers Tapes are so handsome they got me through the film 😏

[@TomOpus]

If you had more free time I'd recommend watching the HBO Max doc on Woodstock '99. While it covers the same event, it's a slightly different perspective. I believe the original title of Trainwreck was Clusterf**k.

[@spookyastronauts]

thanks!

[@nymphdi]

Hey, Emma! I've seen new Lucile Hadzihalilovic's movie online this August, it's called "Earwig". Very dark, very strange, very disturbing:) almost no dialogue, some animal cruelty, dentist gore, all in all has a dream like atmosphere and no single interpretation for sure. I guess, Hadzihalilovic is most famous for her collaborations with Gaspar Noe.

This isn't related to anything in the video,but I'm curious if you've ever seen Jigoku? It's a Japanese movie from 1960. The name means 'Hell' or 'Sinners' Hell.' It's a much a drama as it is a horror really. I can't describe it for the most part, you just have to see it for yourself.

[@jadeosaurous]

I didn't love Elizabeth Harvest either. It's been a while since I saw it but I found the way the story was presented really strange. I could be misremembering but wasn't a lot of the action recounted as backstory between characters and/or as diary entries? It almost felt like someone was explaining a movie to me which might be an odd way to put it but it felt like there was very little tension. I liked the lead actress and the concept but on the whole it felt very sterile.

[@arcticwolf6402]

a lot of what you cover on your channel is NOT horror..... It's just something you MAY interpret as a horror with a very narrow and a little twisted meaning of the said term. It can be quite misleading...

[@spookyastronauts]

I think you mean a broad term, a narrow term of horror may be what you have. As I accept more things in the subgenres as horror which means I use it in the broad sense, and you only think some things are horror which makes your meaning narrow. Just to clarify I cover horror and thriller, as well as dark cinema. I’m not too fond of boxes though
