^ One film I haven't seen before! Maybe I'll watch it sometime.
I'm sceptical that the director Eli Roth (who brought us Cabin Fever, House of a Thousand Corpses and Devil's Reject) can handle this fantasy film adaption, not to mention he's hired comedian Jack Black for it .. 'The House With A Clock In Its Walls' ..

I watched this yesterday after it popped up on one of those channel at the bottom of the free-sat list. I'll need to watch it again...If you haven't seen it, and in memory of John Hurt, I'd very much recommend The Shout, one of the strangest films ever made. It's a largely low-key affair starring Alan Bates as a man who says he spent years with aborigines learning how to shout people to death, among other things...
Animated short film in which Madame Tutli-Putli boarded a night train, dragging with her all her possessions. Traveling alone, she shares her cabin with strangers of seeming benevolent, sometimes menacing. When night falls, she finds herself in the midst of an agonizing metaphysical adventure, in which reality is confused with dreams. Jungian Thriller? Suspense hitchcock? Artistic feat? Get on board, the night train awaits you ...

That was bloody amazing ! .. nice find ..So much for YouTube being the “universal language”:boxing:! I can see it fine, so it must be a regional thing. It’s a short film called Madame Tutli-Putli… maybe this link will work for you:

6 out of 10 is about right, very original, but its misanthropy is really offputting. And doganthropy, if that's a word. Gets very nasty in places. Not funny at all.
I thought rob zombie directed those? Rubbish charmless films though.I'm sceptical that the director Eli Roth (who brought us Cabin Fever, House of a Thousand Corpses and Devil's Reject) can handle this fantasy film adaption, not to mention he's hired comedian Jack Black for it .. 'The House With A Clock In Its Walls' ..

Yeah I got my directors mixed up NF, Heckler posted this to me a while back ..He's Eli Roth who brought us Cabin Fever and Hostel and Green Inferno, whilst it was Rob Zombie who brought us House of a Thousand Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, however your scepticism of his handling of a fantasy film adaption stands. I would however counter with Peter Jackson who brought us Bad Taste, Braindead and er Lord of the Rings as an example of a director who found his fantasy Mojo.
Yep I gave it a 3/10.
Really? Did you not think they recreated those paranormal TV documentaries with ashen-faced witnesses and stuffy experts with genuine authenticity? Plus the big reveal at the end was highly amusing.
I can't tell the genuine paranormal tv docs from the parodies. That prob accounts for the low score. Been a minute since I've seen it.
Mermaids take the stage in Polish director Agnieszka Smoczynska’s horror musical, a cult classic in the making.This genre-defying horror-musical mash-up—the bold debut of Polish director AGNIESZKA SMOCZYNSKA— follows a pair of carnivorous mermaid sisters drawn ashore to explore life on land in an alternate 1980s Poland. Their tantalizing siren songs and otherworldly auras make them overnight sensations as nightclub singers in the half-glam, half-decrepit world of Smoczynska’s imagining. The director gives fierce teeth to her viscerally sensual, darkly feminist twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid,” in which the girls’ bond is tested and their survival threatened after one sister falls for a human. A coming-of-age fairy tale with a catchy synth-fuelled soundtrack, outrageous song-and-dance numbers, and lavishly grimy sets, The Lure explores its themes of emerging female sexuality, exploitation, and the compromises of adulthood with savage energy and originality.
http://lovingvincent.com/ LOVING VINCENT is the world’s first fully oil painted feature film. Written & directed by Dorota Kobiela & Hugh Welchman, produced by Poland’s BreakThru Films & UK’s Trademark Films. The film brings the paintings of Vincent van Gogh to life to tell his remarkable story. Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting hand-painted by 125 professional oil-painters who travelled from all across the world to the Loving Vincent studios in Poland and Greece to be a part of the production. As remarkable as Vincent’s brilliant paintings, is his passionate and ill-fated life, and mysterious death. In theaters beginning September 22
That looks stunning! Rotoscoping by using oil paintings. Reminds me a bit of 'What Dreams May Come'.I think this will be cool - the world's first oil-painted feature!
