Good Movies / Re: Recent theatrical viewings

I'm in two minds about this. While it is excellent, and both Emma Stone and Jesse Plemmons are beyond outstanding, I do prefer Lanthimos when he is doing Lanthimos. As I understand it, this was a project he took over and it shows. It lacks the Lanthimos hallmarks such as weird dancing, sex and a general sense you have strayed into a parallel universe. I was expecting a Lanthimos movie, and was a bit disappointed.
That being said, it is excellent in its own right, although the twist, to quote Frank Kermode, feels more like a punchline than a payoff.
Also, the title refers to the ancient belief that you could produce bees out of the rotting carcass of a cow. Medieval magic texts have detailed (and very revolting) instructions how to go about this.

Last post by Alex31 - Today at 01:22:09 AMHaha, fun read — love how you're digging through all these old TV movies. "Force of Evil" really does sound like a cheap Cape Fear knockoff, and I totally forgot Eve Plumb even did Fantasy Island twice. The "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway" one was surprisingly serious for the era though, kind of wild how these 70s TV dramas balanced moral lessons with low budgets.
BTW, found a random write-up and clips while browsing old-school stuff here: https://stickwarlgacy.com
— some interesting retro TV bits pop up there too
