>XX is a new horror anthology with a gender twist - all segments will be helmed by female directors and will star female leads. The directors have been given free creative rein within budget and time constraints but all of the segments themselves will involve the horror genre.
Is Sup Forums MATURE, PROGRESSIVE and OPEN-MINDED enough to watch this brand new womyn-produced horror anthology?
Camden Bennett
this makes me feel threatened and small
Jacob Price
Watched it last night.
Second story has great cleavage, aside from that it fucking sucks. Boring stories, pointless connecting device, just all round C grade material.

You'll get through it. No reason to, though.
Jordan Brooks
First 2 stories are shit. Watching 3rd now.
Isaac Collins
All the stories were shit. Least worst was the last.
Matthew Harris
just finished. and holy shit this was boring. these women obviously needed to go to films instead of film school
Luis Flores
>XX is a new horror anthology with a gender twist - all segments star female leads. Not really a twist. the protagonists in horror are usually female.
Lincoln James
Any whores with hairy pits, legs, or arms in this garbage?
Jayden Gray
yes
Christian Lopez
Actress name and scene description please, don't want to watch it for nothing.
Parker Butler
I don't give a fuck who made it, I only care if it's good.
Joshua Hill
Go fuck yourself
William Fisher
Quick, name good movies made by women >Nothing Personal (2009)
That's all I got.
Christopher Murphy
>Is Sup Forums MATURE, PROGRESSIVE and OPEN-MINDED enough to watch this brand new womyn-produced horror anthology? Well, no, but my taste is shit enough to watch it.

I wouldn't call American Psycho a particularly good movie. It's very memorable due to the meme dialogue, but that's about it.
Cooper Hernandez

Come on, now. There are tons of great movies made by women.
Good *feminist* movies on the other hand...

There's some
A lot of people will consider stuff like Alien somewhat "feminist" too though simply because it made the action hero female, even if that's not the message of the movie
Carson Ross
>A lot of people will consider stuff like Alien somewhat "feminist" too though simply because it made the action hero female
That's by because they're retards who retroactively try and claim ownership over everything they can get their nails into.
Hence they all paw over Austen.
Samuel Brooks
>that opening scene is 1 continuous POV shot
bigelow is GOAT
Hunter Hernandez
All the positive reviews I've read emphasized the gender stuff. All the negative ones commented on the actual movie.
Guess I'm in for a real treat.

>There are tons of great movies made by women.
This is the only good movie made by a woman.
Anthony Long
Bigelow is highly overrated.
Toni Erdmann was a surprisingly good movie. Even a good comedy. Name another good comedy by a woman!
Lucas Campbell
>oh look the only good one
>Dead of Night >Kwaidan >Tales from the Crypt ('72) >Twice-Told Tales >Amusement >Two Evil Eyes >Vault of Horror >Trick 'r Treat
Yeah, sounds like you know what the fuck you're talking about.
Jaxon Gonzalez
>and will star female leads wow so new. not like women were not leads in horrors until this
Caleb Barnes
the only one that comes to mind
also there are other good female directors like Leni Riefenstahl and Larisa Shepitko but sadly mediocre ones like Bigelow and Campion get too much attention
Jackson Lewis
I think it's very unfair to call Bigelow a mediocre director. She's overrated, but still hardly a 5/10.
Gavin Martinez
Wayne's World
Billy Madison
Aaron Smith
That's all you need to know that no one involved in this dumpster fire is actually a horror fan. MOST horror films have female leads for fuck sakes.
Logan Phillips
>Can't make the cut on an already 5/10 anthology series like VHS >GRRRL POWER, CHICK ONLY IN THIS ANTHOLOGY! >They're all complete boring shit >Unwittingly prove your evil patriarchy detractors right through your own lack of effort
This is a better story than any presented in this fucking protracted yawn.
Nolan Morales
That bothers me more than it should. It's like if someone were to market the next romantic comedy by saying "A ROMANTIC COMEDY WITH A TWIST: THE LEADS ARE STRAIGHT!".
Just reveals a total ignorance of the genre whose conventions they're claiming to subvert.
Lincoln Miller
Sure, but it's still getting the 6/10 participation trophies that the producers were banking on. It already has a relatively high Metacritic rating for a horror movie.
Justin Jenkins

Jaxon Davis
american psycho was a really bad adaptation tho
Blake Fisher
>neo-Sup Forums turns against a Sup Forums classic because it's directed by a woman
fuck off retards
Bentley Ross
You have no idea *why* they're turning against it, so please don't make any assumptions.
I'm repulsed by the female form and even more so by the female brain, and I still love American Psycho. I don't need to call good things bad just to keep my hatred aflame.
Bentley Foster
>because it's directed by a woman no, because i read the book
Ian Roberts
Do they castrate any patriarchs?
Cameron Rogers
First story just ended. I watched all movies I saw till the end (except Birdemic) and I'm already struggling not to stop watching this shit.
Colton Myers
The first story was great, the rest where ok. Sup Forums fuck off to your containment board.
Jonathan Price
Is this a prequel to XXX? Is Xander Cage in it at all or no?
Connor Hernandez
>the rest where okay >where
Explains why you think that this movie is not total shit.
Dominic Wright
Is there any genre as cucked by politics as horror?
Jack Smith
How about you fuck off to your containment site?
Jace Hill
Considering the enormity of the indie horror scene, I'd argue that it's one of the lesser cucked genres. For every highly politicized horror movie, you get a dozen that are just about a guy in a cheap costume stabbing naked women.

Oliver Peterson
I haven't even seen it but this would be 100 times better if the directors and lead characters were white males
Evan Howard
Lol. >ipmlying it isn't the truth
You guys here are fucking pathetic to rage over stuff like this. All you damn wannabe neo-conservatives online do is projecting your own weakness onto society.
Evan Cox
why were they all white characters?
Owen Phillips
It's racist to show beautiful brown and black people being killed or maimed, goy. That's why horror shows evil Whites getting killed or maimed in indie horror.
Gavin Peterson
Kelly Reichardt has been making kino for a while now
Juan Jones
Wasn't planning on watching it, so read the plot on Wikipedia. Holy shit those stories are god awful
>While riding on a train with his mother Susan, a young boy, Danny, sees an old man with a red box; the old man describes it as "a present" and allows Danny to look inside. After looking, Danny refuses to eat any food presented to him. Susan and her husband Robert start to worry about him, taking him to a doctor who finds that Danny has lost five pounds since his last checkup. Danny speaks with his sister Jenny, and soon after, she refuses to eat as well. Robert attempts to speak to Danny about his refusal to eat, but Danny whispers something in his ear, which causes Robert to start refusing food. >Susan is haunted by a dream of her family happily eating her at the dinner table. Come Christmas, Danny, Jenny, and Robert are all emaciated, but don't seem to mind. Susan reveals in a voiceover that all three members of her family later died of starvation, and she is now searching the trains for the man with the box, unable to stop her curiosity as to what is inside.

>Mary is attempting to hold a children's birthday party for a girl named Lucy, but when she finds party guest David dead in one of the rooms, she is forced to hide the body. She spends the day preparing for the party and frantically trying to conceal David's body from other party guests Carla and Madeleine before finally buying a panda costume off of a man who comes to sing Lucy a birthday song and hiding the body in the costume. During the party, Mary sets up the costume near the cake, but Carla bumps the costume, causing it to collapse into the cake. The body is discovered when Carla removes the head, and the full title of the film is revealed as the children scream in terror: The Birthday Party, or, The Memory Lucy Suppressed From Her Seventh Birthday That Wasn't Really Her Mom's Fault (Even Though Her Therapist Says It's Probably Why She Fears Intimacy).
>Four friends, Paul, Gretchen, Jess, and Jay, are all on an expedition out in the desert. Gretchen is afraid of heights. The four discover an ancient cave painting depicting an evil spirit before camping out for the night. Gretchen is attacked by a creature similar to the spirit in the painting, which takes over her body and wears her skin; it kills Paul and Jay before chasing Jess, who breaks her leg. The Gretchen-creature leaps off a high cliff to kill Jess.

>Single mother Cora's rebellious son, Andy, is about to turn 18. She is called into Andy's school to meet with the principal regarding an incident in which Andy tore off a classmate's fingernails; the principal suspends the classmate and warns Cora that something must be done about Andy's behavior. Cora's mailman Chet hints that Andy is not necessarily her distant former husband's son, and Andy - whose voice has changed and finger and toenails have become claws - confirms her suspicions: that he is the spawn of Satan. Andy forces Cora to bow down to him, but she then embraces him and declares him to be her own son. The two hold each other so tightly that they crush each other's ribs, killing each other.
These can't be real surely? Someone has just put these descriptions on Wikipedia for a laugh, haven't they?
Jayden Walker
so no closure, or are we just supposed to go "ooo spooky" queue goosebumps theme song
Bentley Long
It reads like a really shitty creepypasta
Jordan Gonzalez
haven't seen it but it seems like they could never really show what is in the box because if they did it would be totally disappointing and would ruin the otherwise shitty movie
Gabriel Foster
This was the best part of the movie.
Camden Hall
ewww
Austin Brown
Just finished watching this trainwreck.
What a waste of time.
It tries to be deeper than it really is.
The last one is the best one, but I saw the twist coming a mile away.
And the vignettes in between the stories are borderline cringe with their shitty Tim Burton-esque atmosphere.
And Hollywood wonders why it's "losing money".
Ryder Perry
I really wanted to like this but...it was so mediocre, man.

Are there any good horror anthologies?
Grayson Hernandez
Jokes on them. I get off to women being beaten and murdered in brutal ways. This is a win for me.
Justin Campbell
I saw that shit on all private trackers. Shame they advertised is it as a female impowerment thing. I love anthology stuff and new directors throwing whatever sticks at the wall. I would have probably rented it but now I won't even bother pirating it.
Blake Lee
Just watch Tales from the Crypt Someone had a stream up a few months ago, great fun to watch with other faggots from here

>The Memory Lucy Suppressed From Her Seventh Birthday That Wasn't Really Her Mom's Fault (Even Though Her Therapist Says It's Probably Why She Fears Intimacy). I thought this sounded okay untiil this, what the fuck? Why is the director's diary part of the title?
Justin Evans
underrated
Gabriel Moore
Last short was solid.
and 3 of the shorts were about women as mothers. Really groundbreaking stuff there, ladies. That's a twist we rarely see.
Nathaniel Sanchez
Top fucking kek
Juan Miller
i love horror anthologies, i'll give it a shot. can't be worse than holidays.
Jason Ward
Yeah, wasn't very good. I only really cared because St. Vincent directed one of the shorts. The thing is the other three women have experience from before so it's kind of embarrassing for these stories to be so uninteresting.

Really glad Lynskey is getting some attention lately. I had a huge crush on her as a kid.
Matthew Peterson
The female director part is the unusual bit.
Anthony Davis
There were many female directors that had made horror movies through the time and they target this one as "Look at us! We are a bunch of girls messing with a boys genre because of feminism for the first time ever"

I wish more people could watch this amazing film. Carpenter, Raimi, Craven, even Mark Hamill, all those cameos, it's great.
