Genuinely, Bill Burr explains it well and, as a grumpy mid 40s male, it resonated!

You're thinking of 'The Fog' mate... John Carpenter making the original one and the re-make having that godawful whiny actor from that 'Smallville' series.
The Mist was based on a Stephen King novel

That sounds about right. Unless he's in the new one... I haven't checked, but I don't think so.
Nowhere - Netflix.
Not a bad little film, maybe ten mins too long.
Set in an unknown Spanish speaking country, refugees are desperately trying to flee the country, due to unknown political turmoil.
A heavily pregnant lady, ends up as the sole survivor of the massacre of her party of refugees, alone and adrift at sea in a leaking cargo container.
The film follows her fight to stay alive.
The lead is very good and you become really invested in her fight to stay alive.
Scare season is upon us, so to kick things off we finally got round to watching one of the only John C's I've not done yet, and it didn't disappoint.
The final entry in the apocalypse trilogy, it's a suitably twisted ode to Lovecraft with horrors of the mind and the corporeal, with gribbly cosmic entities, dashes of black humour, a synth driven soundtrack and Sam m'f'ing Neill at his his most m'f'ing rockness.
Smashin.

Ramaskrik horror film festival 2023
On the day before the festival (wednesday) they were showing Black Sheep at the hotel, but as I've seen it before I went to the cinema to watch Saw X instead. Not bad at all. Tobin Bell is great here and he elevates the film a lot just by his presence. The ending wasn't very satisfying though. 7/10
Then, the festival movies:
The Seeding
A festival highlight that alluded to some cannibalism without really being too in-your-face with it. A great start to the weekend. 8/10
Nightman
Belgian film shot in Ireland. Snoozefest. Took forever to get going and when the climax happened I was taking a 20 second nap so I missed it. 3/10
The Coffee Table
A spanish film that the festival crew warned us about before watching it, as it was apparently quite controversial and depraved. Personally I found it to be more like a family comedy. Funniest film of the weekend. 7/10
There's Something in the Barn
The official opening movie of the festival. This is a lighthearted Norwegian christmas horror film where a bunch of mini Santas (called fjøsnisser in Norwegian) starts attacking people on a farm. Not scary at all, but what made it fun was the culture crash between the American characters and the Norwegian stereotypes the film portrayed. Not enough kills, but a fun experience. 7/10
Critters 2
Mick Garris (nicest guy ever) was a guest at the festival and introduced Critters 2, which I hadn't seen in a long long time. Had a blast watching it. Super fun. 8/10
The Primevals
The Abominable Snowman meets At the Earth's Core. Many in the theatre didn't like this one, but I loved it. Produced by Full Moon Features (the company behind Puppet Master), this until now unfinished 90s film (production was halted when director David Allen died) with stop motion puppets and an epic expidition with monsters, aliens and cheesy dialogue was a wonderful watch. I truly wish they made more films like these, but they're a dying breed. 8/10
Property
Brazilian film about a woman trapped in her bulletproof car amidst raging workers fighting for their rights. The movie never managed to make me care about the woman, as she wasn't very likeable at all. Film itself was well enough made, worth a watch, though it's a forgettable one in the end. 6/10
Villmark (Dark Woods)
A Norwegian classic that's always good fun. This film was the start of the modern "wave" of Norwegian horror films. Good acting, decent tension, well shot. Introduced by director Pål Øie. 7/10
Gnomes (short)
A six minutes long Dutch film with better gore than most of the full lengths. Banger. 8/10
Suitable Flesh
A film with four (or something like that) sex scenes without the chick ever taking her shirt off is 2023 in a nutshell. Still, the film was great. A festival highlight. Heather Graham is a fine specimen, and it was fun to see Barbara Crampton on the big screen. 8/10
#Manhole
Japanese film with a dude trapped in a.. manhole. Good fun. 7/10
Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls
People howled with laughter, but I'm dead inside and didn't like it much. 4/10
Door
A Japanese giallo from 1988, that resurfaced recently. Liked it better than any of the Italian giallos I've ever seen, as it even made me care about the victims. The main chick being mighty fine didn't hurt either. 8/10
Riding the Bullet
Mick Garris' second and final screening of the weekend was of this Stephen King story. Enjoyed the hell out of it. 8/10
Malum
After a horror movie festival with little actual horror, this was a nice change of pace. Even though it's in no way a masterpiece, I enjoyed it for what it was. The gore/effects were pretty nice, but the backstory seemed like a way more interesting movie than the actual movie we got. 6/10
Eight Eyes
Don't go to Serbia or Macedonia, people. 6/10

The Atomic Cafe (1982)
By turns terrifying and darkly hilarious, this documentary is a series of USA cold-war era propaganda films and shorts that tries to highlight the "wonder" of atomic bombs and how if people "duck and cover " then they'll likely survive a nuclear attack.
It's scary how naive people were back then. The footage of various atomic tests is very disturbing. Witness the underwater one at Bikini Atoll where a large number of old battleships and aircraft carriers were moored close to the blast to see the effects on naval forces. One battleship can be seen flung up in the explosion like a kid's toy.
Also some gruesome results of the tests on animals such as pigs, sheep and rats.
The fate of the Rosenbergs - executed for treason by the US government - is very sobering.
It's a powerful and educational documentary that really does open your eyes to the absolute devastation these weapons are capable of.

As it's spooky season we just recently watched Talk To Me. Thought it was very good for the genre.
Saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for the first time this past weekend as well. I loved the book, was expecting to be more wowed by the movie itself. I mean it was pretty good, but nothing earthshattering

Hahaha, the scene in the diner when they all get shot up, so good. Especially when one gets the hair cut.
