Amazon Prime Instant Video Rec

This looks cool.
It screened at TIFF and Fantastic Fest, both of which usually have a good eye for interesting genre films.

Coming to Prime May 29th, 2020

[dookeyXXX]

Lots of really cool, slightly twisted, left-of-center titles lurking in the deep recesses of Prime right now.

Here are two worth watching:

CUL-DE-SAC
Donald Pleasance anchors this strange and demented off-beat thriller.




A FIELD IN ENGLAND
Ben Wheatley's 2013 film is a psychotropic slant on the folk horror subgenre.

This one’s for Dookie - available on Amazon

Nice!
Will have to check that out.
I read through the CST article and ironically enough, I have not seen a lot of the films covered!

[mcski]

I was pretty intrigued when my friend posted it. Lots of interesting tidbits for sure

[dookeyXXX]

Ralph Bakshi's early 70s ccounter culture cult classic FRITZ THE CAT, is lurking around Prime.
If you have never seen it, you might want to check it out. And if you have seen it, you might want to revisit it.
(DO NOT waste your time with the shitty sequel, though...)

Nicholas Winding Refn's (Drive; Valhalla Rising; Bronson) first English language film is a claustrophobic psychological affair featuring John Turturro.

[dookeyXXX]

And on the horror tip there is Ti West's retro-styled, super creepy THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL.
West is an extremely hit-or-miss genre director, but this is easily his masterpiece.
Teeming with some wicked performances and a great sense of unbalanced dread.

RIYL
The Sentinal; Rosemary's Baby

Whoa.I got goosebumps watching that trailer.

[dookeyXXX]

Quite the good number of solid recommendations on this list:

PRO TIP
Do not watch Dead Ringers with your wife or girlfriend...I made that heinous mistake in college!

[JongDoe]

I vaguely remember seeing Dead Ringers a long while back and it was pretty eerie. I'll have to watch it again.

Ash is Purist White in that list.

Ash is Purist White in that list.

Was hoping you'd catch that.
I may have to watch it, what with the way you have been "ceaselessly" championing it...

Someone must have reviewed Hunters, yes?

Watched this the other night:



It's a solid wannabe wiseguys/heist film anchored by a couple of great leading performances by Theo Rossi and Clive Standen, as well as a really diverse and engaging supporting cast.

Yeah. I did that on purpose for emphasis this time. If i had to compare it to a style it would be similar to "Lost in Translation". Lots of scenes without dialogue framed by scenery and ennui. Funny, I searched "movies with ennui" and Lost in Translation came up first.

Anyone watching Tales From The Loop? Kind of a modern take on The Twilight Zone but episodes take place in the same town.

I’m only a couple of episodes in but am hooked.

That's next on my list as the trailer was enticing for me.

[smartyiak]

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but last night I watched the first couple episodes of “Counterpart.”

It’s sort of a thriller/spy/sci-fi mix. The lead is the Farmers Insurance “we know a thing or two...” guy.

I thought it was decent...will continue tonight.

Stick with it - it sucks you in. I was furious when they cancelled it.

The remastered version of PHANTASM just popped up.
This is a hallucinatory nightmare in overdrive; eerie and unnerving.
While it spawned 4 sequels, this is the best of the bunch (though II and III were actually decent; don't bother with IV or V, though).

Mondo late night red-eye matinee fare par excellance!

[mcski]

Those fucking orbs filled my childhood nightmares

[Mike Pow]

Phantasm was superb back in the day.

Will revisit.

[Supermoon]

The Aeronauts was pretty good. Very cool story.
