tweet by @Caol_MacCormaic that reads, uncs of film twitter: what are some movies that are canonical now but were basically unknown when we were coming up? like Come and See or Possession. inversely: what are some movies or filmmakers that seem to have fallen off? (Takashi Miike comes to mind)

the general consensus on Hooper’s Djinn seems to be extremely low but man when he shoots this skittering shape from the vantage point of the cc cameras that shit is creepy af
