Alien

Needed a refresher of this for the tournament topic, I've seen it maybe once a long time ago so it was pretty much a first viewing for me. Didn't love it but didn't hate it.

I really like the immersement -- sound FX, music, visual FX, the realistic acting (naturalistic or improvised performances), the pacing (that some would feel is slow).

A theatre setting, or quiet isolated setting, really enhances the experience. If one has things they need to get to, or interruptions, or one's sensitized to an MTV fast pace, it can be difficult to sync with. And I mean that in general, not that those pertain to you.

First of all, is the background supposed to be visually warping -- as if someone filmed a copy off a screen that was twisting in the wind a bit on the sides -- or did I see a warped version? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8mpY4tN8_Q) If it's like that intentionally, I wonder why I couldn't find any written mention of it?

Anyway, Zombi 2 is surreal... any appreciation of the film, beyond the gorehounds, is the arthouse approach. There's a ton of unrealistic scenes, jumpy and jump-cut editing, and mix of good and amatuer acting. There's a few creative cinema scenes and shots. If that's what you like, or you like to make fun of a film with your buddies, ala MST3K, then you might enjoy it.

I'm remembering a pretty decent soundtrack on this, too

Sometimes was good. Other times they're playing this upbeat electronica that didn't fit the scene IMO.

I was searching the house for my paints to finish a last minute gift for my mother, and I accidentally find 2 of my 3 50 movie collections... One of them had 'Silent Night, Bloody Night' on it and I watched it on YouTube! >8U
