Everything Else / Gavle Goat 2025
« Last post by Master Ray on December 04, 2025, 08:37:42 PM »C'mon, it's a Christmas tradition amongst us folks!
It seems like the big straw lad has survived the last couple of years, maybe the security got a lot better, but just inn case anyone wants to take bets on whether the traditional burning will happen then this is the place to do it!

Everything Else / Re: Dario Argento and others thrillers/horror movies directors
« Last post by Guillaume on December 04, 2025, 02:02:04 PM »I know the title of the Petri film you're talking about, but I've never seen it.
Yes, the CGI/digital effects in THE STENDHAL SYNDROME aren't very good, but fortunately there aren't many. In general, the CGI effects in Argento's films aren't very good (in STENDHAL as in DRACULA and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA), probably because his budgets are small; he gets better results with practical, gory effects. THE STENDHAL SYNDROME remains, for me, one of Argento's most interesting films; it's one of his most intimate a character study and a beautiful love letter to his passion for painting. Asia Argento and Ennio Morricone's music are excellent. The german actor in THE STENDHAL SYNDROME isn't Michael Fassbender but Thomas Kretschmann, who would go on to play Count Dracula for Argento 15 years after STENDHAL.
That's right, i just watched Stendhal Syndrome then and i kind of remember that it used digital effects and that kind of threw me off. Now i think that the german actor Faßbender was in it? I have vague memories of that movie but i cannot judge it in memory, maybe i should also give that one another go.

« Last post by Guillaume on December 04, 2025, 01:49:07 PM »Only 2 songs? And they carry the whole movie?
I found a Box Set:
Pilots of Purple Twilight (Remastered 2020)
And on Disk 10 is the whole Soundtrack from The Keep. You should buy that, the price is only 928€
Most (all?) of the CD/vinyl editions available on the market only include a few of the tracks heard in the film; as I said, in my opinion, these are Tangerine Dream tracks that were rejected by Mann/Paramount. The complete film score is available on YouTube, but since I still buy Blu-rays and CDs, I'd like an OFFICIAL CD release!:

Johannes Schmoelling's thoughts on the "official" TDI The Keep soundtrack from Vinegar Syndrome's 2024 Interview - "I would like to say something fundamental about music for films. The music should serve the film, should create a certain atmosphere or emphasize specific characters, or make them recognizable. But if you listen to the music without the pictures, it often seems incomplete or not always musical. That’s why composers rework the music to be released on a soundtrack. And, as an example, I would mention the Tangerine Dream soundtrack to Michael Mann’s movie Thief. But with The Keep, we three composers - Frank, Froese, and I - we never did so. We never, ever reworked the music for a soundtrack release.
I left the band in Summer 1985, and Christoph left in 1987. That means until we left the band there was no authorized soundtrack of The Keep. Never, ever. We never, ever reworked the music for a soundtrack release. That means there is no authorized soundtrack of The Keep. I’m referring to this CD here (the 1998 Officially Authorized soundtrack from Edgar Froese/TDI). It is a release on the TDI label around 1998. Ancient Power Plant is track 2, but I must say, I have never heard this song before. The tracks Heritage Survival and Sign in the Dark are pieces of music which we usually played in our concerts, and I think it’s possible that we also played them in our concert at the Dominion in November 1982 in London, but…these music tracks are not part of the film. The track Night in Romania is part of the movie, but during the production of the score, we called that music the Rejuvenation Theme. I found a copy of that score in my archive."

I love to rediscover old movies i know somehow on blu ray, giving it restoration and a decent or good sound and mostly it's like seeing it for the first time. I had a blast with Phenomena and also Tenebrae which i saw this year for the first time on blu after having seen it only on VHS or maybe DVD.
I want to recommend, maybe you have already mentioned it here in this thread somewhere:
"Un Tranquillo Posto Di Campagna", i don't know the english title in german it's called "Das Verfluchte Haus" by Elio Petri.
It's from 1968 with Franco Nero and Vanessa Redgrave with music by Ennio Morricone and it's a unique, bizarre, great movie. I wouldn't see it as a giallo more of an artistic thriller.
