Sleepaway Slasher

Personal rating: 1/5 ⭐

Release year: 2020

Watched: free on Tubi

First or rewatch: first

Content warnings: Mild gore, glitching ghost effects, fire injury and trauma, sexism, actor endangerment in relation to the discussion of ruthless directors

Summary: A group of budding filmmakers are invited to a competition at the site of an unfinished 80's cult movie...and the death of its infamous starlet. As the retreat progresses, something evil lurking behind the scenes begins to steal focus and the group become characters in a real-life horror film. (—taken from IMDb)

Review and thoughts below the cut:

I wish I had something nice to say about this movie.

Unfortunately it fell flat so hard that I lost track of what was actually going on a little over a third of the way through. It attempted to juggle an overarching plot with the concept of film anthology, all set to the meta backdrop of filmmaking, and I really think all it really ended up doing was turning into a pointless battle of the sexes.

Not sure what the budget for this film was, considering some of the shots are great, but I would have hoped they could have had a less shaky camera in several scenes, and the make-up effects left much to be desired. The acting was mediocre and I'll be damned if I can remember a single character name an hour from now, having just finished it.

Not worth watching, even just to fill or kill time. Skip this one.

Sparkling Cyanide is a pretty solid Christie. At first I didn't think it was terribly exciting. I figured it'd be fine but nothing stand out. And then the second death happened and I was hooked.

The characters were interesting if a little dummy at times. The mystery really picked up in the second half and was very intriguing. And once again I had absolutely no idea what the big reveal would be lmao, but it made a lot of sense once I read it.

[C FOR THE AL.SOUP ASK GAME ?] – SQUID

C would be Cyanide!

Cyanide uses they/xem and identifies as agender. They're very new to this concept, but quite like it

Cyanide is a funky alien known as an "Elementol" and stands at around 6'1" tall. They have a bubbly personality, and are quite friendly n very curious when it comes to new things.

While they aren't dumb, many things from this planet are new to xem compared to back home, and they may appear a bit naïve at first glance. They don't mind this, and keep an optimistic outlook most of the time and are hard to upset. They really, really dislike getting upset.

Cyanide's name comes from what they're based on: cyanide. When upset or angered, their splotchy markings will darken and drip the deadly chemical, and their eyes will release a mist that contains it as well. A strong scent of bitter almonds often accompanies this (though a more toned down aroma is often noted even when they're in a good mood). Casualties have resulted from a few rare incidences, and Cyanide takes care to not be a complete walking biohazard to the best of their ability.

As a bonus fact or two, they have minor shapeshifting abilities. Xe can form a mouth with enough effort, and their arms can become blades if the rare need arises. They have two robotic companions (known as Pulse and 'A.I') who aid them in researching things and keep them from getting into accidental trouble. They're a fan of computer viruses, code glitches, and things like that, and have many sentient ones they've taken in to the disgruntled dismay of A.I but he puts up with it.

What got you into horror?

Ooh I love this question!

I actually, Evil Dead 2 was the first film I watched as a kid when I wasn't supposed to, which was terrifying but I couldn't look away. Then my cousin subjected me to the Child's Play movies and I thought it was so cool to see a talking doll that looked like Chucky.

Then the last thing that just grabbed me by the throat was seeing A Nightmare on Elm Street. I was so IN LOVE with that movie and I never thought I'd see something as good as that one ever again. So just constantly being shown horror through people in my life just got me into it and I never looked back!

Hellraiser V: Inferno

Personal rating: 4 ⭐

Release year: 2000

Watched: personal blu-ray

First or rewatch: first

Content warnings: Body horror, gore (general as well as eye gore,) implied child endangerment and harm, death and endangerment of the elderly, infidelity, visual distortions/elements of unreality or derealization, a scene of rapid decay/entropy, that blue filter that early 2000s horror is notorious for

Summary: A shady police detective becomes embroiled in a strange world of murder, sadism and madness after being assigned a murder investigation against a madman known only as "The Engineer". (—taken from IMDb)

Review and thoughts below the cut:

An opening note is that, in my journey into the world of Hellraiser, I'm following "the watch order from Hell". Meaning, I’ve watched the first three movies, then jumped to this, the fifth. (And shall continue to the eighth, then the tenth, then the ninth, then the fourth. And the newest movie at the end.) From what I am given to understand, this is the ideal watch order in order to be able to absorb the films in a way that won’t burn you out from informational overload, and works best in terms of flow.

That being said, HO baby, fuck me right up.

I've heard the saying that this wasn't originally conceived as a Hellraiser sequel, as well as seen the trivia statements that this speculation is incorrect. Personally, I think it works as a sequel installment that exists somewhere in the sidelines of main story points, given how far removed all the human character focus is from the main, and how narrow the scope is with the cast and story.

Joseph isn't a likeable main character, and he's really not meant to be. From the off, we know he's not a great person, and he continues to make worse and worse choices as the story unfolds and his mental-emotional state devolves. For what it's worth, when reaching the climatic moment of the movie, I do feel like this is beneficial in regards to the entire theme and point being made. Joseph's self-centered pursuits have ultimately led to a destruction of what was good and whole in him, and now he's trapped in this looping hell of his own making where he's forced to live with the consequences of the actions he made before and after opening the Lament Configuration, unable to escape or change his fate because he continued to sacrifice the good in himself to feed his own depravity, right up to the end.

As the Hell Priest is largely meant to function as an impartial judge as the series progresses, it was nice to see Pinhead in such a role for a change. It suits them well. Additionally, I think the gradual reveal of his character enhanced that rather than took away from it (and I did appreciate the nod to the original novella by referencing "the Engineer".)

I think my only real annoyance with the film was that I didn't really care about Joseph as a character, to the point that while I didn't want everyone around him to die because of him, I still just didn't care about whether or not he lived through any of it. That and the use of CGI. It wasn't overbearing but there were some moments where it was really unnecessary and jarring.

no pickles

stellaron hunters & gn!reader | wc: ~750

In which they get your order wrong. Kafka, dear friend that she is, decides to make it known.

tags/warnings: crack, reader is not described, vague canon-typical violence, comedy, found family, everything is platonic

notes: oops updated formatting

When you first joined the Stellaron Hunters upon Elio’s suggestion (death threat), you never would have imagined the scene unfolding in front of you now.

Silver Wolf is double-dipping a greasy french fry into a dollop of ketchup. Kafka is dabbing her mouth with a napkin after her only sip of whatever soda she decided to humor, and Blade is standing guard by your table like some kind of intimidating fast-food sentry.

You, squished between all of them, lament your existence. Sam got to stay behind to “keep watch”, but you know the truth. His robot suit would terrify any children within a fifty mile radius, and this CosmiBurger is teeming with them. 

“Silver Wolf,” you mutter.

“I’m not sharing,” she answers immediately.

“That’s not what I–! Ugh, whatever. I was gonna ask why you chose this place for lunch. Don’t you think it’s a little below our pay grade?” “We don’t get paid, newbie. Elio doesn’t cover us eating out, so we have to be cheap.”

“You’re just saying that because you blew our budget on Roblox Premium,” you deadpan.

Kafka interjects. “Look on the bright side, hm? The novelty here is something we rarely get to experience - and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Bladie this happy.”

You spare a glance at your colleague. His scowl speaks for him.

Ignoring the fact that apparently Kafka’s got jokes now, you heave a sigh and poke at the lump of foil in front of you - a tangible warning of an impending stomach ache. The burger inside will have to serve as sustenance if you don’t want to wait twelve more system hours to eat.

Since Silver Wolf is now preoccupied with one of her handheld consoles, you don’t delay with your squabbling any longer. When you unwrap it and take your first bite, you’re blindsided by the overwhelming sour note of what can only be The Condiment That Shall Not Be Named. You can’t obscure the subsequent (ugly) scrunch of your brow and lips.

“Cyanide?” asks The Gamer That You Will Strangle One Day.

You glare at her and deposit your now even-more-unappetizing sandwich on the table. “You wish. They, uh, just got my order a bit wrong.” There’s a contemplative hum from your side that makes your heart skip a beat. Kafka stops playing with a strand of Blade’s hair to give you a coy smile. “Is that so?”

“Don’t look at me like that,” you complain. “It’s not a big deal, I’m just not a fan of pickles.”

“You should ask for a replacement. After all, you did mention that in your order,” she drawls.

You bristle. “I doubt the employees get paid enough to put up with that.”

Blade speaks for the first time today in that gruff tone of his. “You draw the line there? You’ll slaughter on command but stop at inconveniencing the working class?”

“Everyone’s picking on me! Smear campaign!” you accuse, pointing at the brooding man.

You don’t expect a reply from him, which he honors by staring at your outstretched finger with what could be described as murderous intent. Kafka chuckles.

“It’s the principle of the thing, darling. I’ll handle it.”

“Wai–”

You don’t get another word out before she confidently rises from her seat and saunters over to the register, leaving you with your jaw on the floor. 

Silver Wolf is back to blowing bubblegum and spawn-killing some poor sap, but she makes the time to snicker at your plight. “That’s weak, newbie.”

All you can do is become an idle passenger in your own body as the scene unfolds in front of you. Maybe you try to stop her, but Blade’s lanky arm blocks your path. 

Sometimes you wish she’d just have a little more fear. Kafka converses with the cashier with her innate allure as you resign yourself to your fate of public humiliation.

The words audible over the ringing in your ears sound through the air in Kafka’s dulcet voice.  “They asked for no pickles.”

When she returns from the counter two minutes later with your presumably correct order, you’ve already decided that today has been the most harrowing twenty-four system hours of your long-life. Your stupor is cut short as the new pickleless burger is dropped into your hands like a gift from the Aeons.

“See?” Kafka teases. “It was no trouble at all.”

“..Thanks,” you cough into your hand awkwardly.

Lunch resumes its usual flow, but you’re still stewing in regret that boils down to a simple, bitter thought: You should’ve just ordered the chicken nuggets instead.
