Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - July 14, 2026, 04:21:37 PMEl Fantasma Del Convento (1934) - This was like the first Mexican horror movie or something. It has a much smaller budget than contemporaneous American films like Dracula, but a good Twilight Zone ish story where morality and the supernatural collide. 3 people stumble upon an old monastery and stay the night. They learn that there's a room where the door is nailed shut because of something horrible that happened in there and they try to discover the mystery.
The print I watched had that new kind of crappiness where the digital image is clear enough, but the people are moving around choppily. I can't stand that, but I really wanted to see the film. Hopefully a better version is available, maybe from Prime or something.
4.25/ 5 It was a good idea for a movie considering the limited budget they had.
This is the forbidden room.

Last post by Dr. Whom - July 14, 2026, 02:17:17 PMQuite, and I must say reading the summary of the book explained a lot about the movie.
This is actually one of the more successful aspects of the movie, which relies heavily on visual storytelling and implied information. The costuming clearly sets the story long before our contemporary world, while the dress code remains legible: you can tell which ones are the farmers, which ones are the city folk and so on.
This movie is sometimes classed as folk horror, which is absolute nonsense. There is some violence yes, and blood is shed, but there are no horror elements whatsoever.

Last post by indianasmith - July 14, 2026, 11:15:40 AMWHEN EVIL LURKS - (2023) Two brothers desperately try to save their family from an evil entity that jumps from host to host, spreading death and destruction in its wake. This is a genuinely disturbing film with a couple of the most memorable scenes - not jump scares, just really twisted moments of horror - that I have ever seen. Definitely worth the watch! 4/5
