Cyclops - 1987 (Sci Fi/Body Horror)

HP Dafuqcraft @zwlocklin.bsky.social · 5h

Granted it’s been 20 yrs since I read it but the one thing I liked about the Johnny sections was the codes—I remember being actually alarmed/scared/unnerved by one of his mother’s coded letters, and that being the result of the deciding process slowly unveiling g the horror

YESSSSSS

Now I need to scroll down your feed to see what the takes were!!

Now to be clear, I watched this on a bootleg blu-ray—I haven’t watched this YouTube presentation yet, except to make sure it had subtitles (the other version on YT doesn’t), so it may be different from my experience. I was gonna watch it today but then I had to deal with life. Stupid life!

14. CYCLOPS (George Iida 1987)

Of all the messed up weird j-horror I’ve posted this month, CYCLOPS takes the cake: pure body horror in the vein of John Carpenter’s THE THING, with shades of TETSUO & AKIRA. Not for the squeamish, but pure absurd fun

I think I miscounted & I have *one* more 80s Japanese video horror, actually, but it is the best & most WTF of the bunch

HP Dafuqcraft @zwlocklin.bsky.social · 1d

Hey you all getting sick of the weird Japanese and found footage stuff? Should I pause for some British 70s TV folk horror, or can I wrap up the 80s Japanese stuff first?

I’m thinking I have 2 more Japanese 80s video horror & then I’ll pivot to Britain for a while & then come back to Japan later on

Esp in horror fiction

There are so many brilliant horror writers who will never get the attention they deserve because they only or mostly work in short form

April Wolfe @aprilwolfe.bsky.social · 1d

Short story collections should be way more popular and marketed better for the short-attention present.

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

HP Dafuqcraft @zwlocklin.bsky.social · 1d

2 more 1980s Japanese video horror, some 2010s/20s Japanese found footage, the weirdest Japanese mockumentary horror movie ever, possibly a couple shorts and even a reeeeaaaaalllly bad 2000s-era j-horror for laughs

But yrall probably getting ready for some more Brit horror first right?

I want to look at that last one every day, just once a day, every day, look at it and shiver

Have I mentioned lately how effing beautiful @katherinelam.bsky.social’s art is?! It never fails to elicit an emotional response from me

13. GUZOO: THE THING FORSAKEN BY GOD (1986)

“I’ve seen enough hentai to know where this is going.” This bit of nastiness has so much going on in it, from a moist pile of rubber to tentacles to four vapid teen girls tossing a beach ball to invisible weasels… 1/2

13.2: GUZOO p.2

Fair warning: Guzoo isn’t rapey, really, but there is a moment of sudden and intense gore about 2/3 of the way in. Prior to that, it’s been cute and silly, so if gore is a problem for you…

But if a director throwing EVERY POSSIBLE IDEA into 39 minutes of film is your thing ….

@nadiabulkin.bsky.social ‘s “Your Next Best American Girl” is the story I wanted THE SUBSTANCE to be. Beautiful & paranoid & haunting, an exploration of beauty standards and a culture that pits women against each other—against themselves—that treats its women with empathy not ridicule

I only learned it like a week ago, so your post’s timing was really funny to me!

12. BIOTHERAPY (1986)

It’s only getting weirder from here. BIOTHERAPY is a baffling, nonsense gore fest slasher involving time travel and medical experiments and people getting stabbed with test tubes. The video quality on YT is terrible, too making it even weirder.
