Horror

Handling The Undead is a norwegian horror movie based on a swedish book by the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist (Let the Right One In). It's a very unusual zombie movie as it focuses very much on the grief and pain the families of dead ones goes through and then they struggle even more once their loved ones comes back to life. I think it was a great slow burner, I love those types of horror movies that take their time. But I have to say it would have been better if they speeded up the beginning a bit.

It's out on rent right now and will most likely come on streaming later. I watched it on Apple TV+, it was like $12 there. I can recommend it, just note that it is slow and it's not the usual zombie flix.

I'm norwegian and very rarely watch norwegian movies because I find them extremely boring. This on the other hand was interesting, mostly because of Renate Reinsve. She recently played the leading role in The Worst Person in the World, a movie I would highly recommend if you're into drama movies. She is really one of our best actors at this point in time.

Trigger warning: It contains scenes of suicide attempts and a dead child coming back to life. There is also a few violent scenes but it wasn't to bad in this part. There were no blood that I can remember which I found odd.

We've all different and got different reasons why we like horror. What's your reason?

I saw this movie this week and I thought it was pretty good. At first I was like "not again" about the ending but after thinking about it, it was pretty clever. Charlie Shotwell plays amazingly in his role as Eli and Lili Taylor as his doctor. It's creepy from the get-go with this old house that have been renovated for special patients.

One of the thing that made less sense to me, and this will be spoiler so I will use spoiler tag:

What do you guys think about this movie? It's on Netflix.

It wasn't scary, but it was disturbing and very well narrated (not a fan of some political messaging tho. Breaks the immersion). What are your thoughts on it?

This year has gone by so fast and I don't know where it all went!

Now it's soon time for many of us to celebrate with our families and eat amazing food. Some of us don't celebrate christmas and for you I would wish all the good things in the world to.

I hope you enjoy the holiday and are able to spend it with the ones you love.

What do you eat this time of the year? Maybe you want to share that with us?

Anyway I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas from both me and @nieceandtows@lemmy.world. 🎄🎅🎅🎄❤️

I'm very boring when it comes to movies in christmas I must say. I started to watch Manhunter yesterday and ended up watching Red Dragon instead as it just was to bleak for my taste. And today I'm watching Silence of the Lambs and possibly Hannibal, tho I don't like that particular seeing as Jodie Foster didn't take the role and she is a much better Starling.

Anyway, do you have any movies you watch at christmas? Maybe you're not celebrating christmas but watch loads of movies this time of year, what do you watch?

Me and my two friends watched The Tall Man last week. We really enjoyed this flix even thought we had heard that people did not like it at all. I personally liked the end and thought it was really thought provocative and clever.

What did you think about it? Did you no enjoy it? I asked some folks and they found it silly and stupid. I have to disagree with that. Maybe they wanted the ending to be "bad"?
