Watching "Kelly's Heroes" on TV, while zapping randomly because I didn't know anything about it, I got the same vibes as "Sniper Elite 4 Italia" -I had played that not too long before seeing the movie

[Cu-Neo]

Alan Wake: Twin Peaks and a lot of stories of Stephen king.

Silent Hill 1: the moments that you are with lisa in the otherworld are like the scenes in the red room of Twin peaks

And speaking of more Twin peaks and that red room: Deadly Premonition.

fast and furious and basically every racing game of the time NFS underground, Juiced, and Street Racing Syndicate are three that come to mind

My first article on the site was basically an excuse to talk about Hundreds of Beavers and it's many video game conventions, it's not referencing a specific game but the feel of several of them.

(There is a section late in the film that's awfully Donkey Kong Country, though.)

Upon watching it, my boyfriend said that Annihilation had a very similar vibe to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series and I have to agree with him. That fucking bear is way more freaky than anything in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. though, holy hell. Whoever came up with that deserves a big raise.

Visual effects coordinator Andrew Whitehurst was hired on to be a lead supervisor at ILM about a year later, so...he did! (Ohmygod the bear was crazy.)

Also, a little funny, Stalker (1979) was a major influence on Annihilation!

GTA: Falling Down

 

[ZombieFish]

I think The Empty Man is a better Silent Hill movie than the Silent Hill movie.

 

[xuvetyn96]

Dark Souls and Angel's Egg (1985)

This is very good news, he did really well in Ex Machina too. He seems to work really well with Alex Garland in general. Hopefully the two of them will continue to collaborate.

That bear though. Not to stroke my own dick, but horror doesn't generally get to me, I usually find well done movie monsters to just be cool. That bear got to me a bit though. Super well done and very intense scene. We need more stuff like that in horror.

Also, a little funny, Stalker (1979) was a major influence on Annihilation!

Oh? Excellent. I can totally see it. It's funny how things come around full circle like that sometimes.

This is probably a stretch but it's one of my favorite movies: Little Nightmares reminds me of Pan's Labyrinth (2006), in that both are dealing with a young girl attempting to navigate an adult world that is horrific in both a literal and fantastical sense
