Baka Bukas (2016) dir. Samantha Lee

Alex, is a twenty-something year old creative based in Manila. She is out to most people except her best friend- Jess who she has been secretly in love with since they were kids. When Jess discovers the truth about Alex, they are forced to confront the feelings they have for each other.

Hello Tumblr. I’ve noticed that a lot of us from the lgbt community are curious to know where we can watch this film. It’s in tagalog (my native language) and it is an indie movie that has just been screened recently. No, it’s not on netflix. However, since it has not been available online for everyone, I suggest letting the director know about the quick interest it has gained for being a wlw movie. To anyone that has a Twitter account, tweet Samantha Lee (@givemesam), to let them know that you want to watch Baka Bukas (Maybe tomorrow) 😊

I just want a horror movie where the person being terrorized snaps and decides fuck it and goes after the bad guys with gruesome results and evil cackling

DO I HAVE SOME RECS FOR YOU:

  • Hush: A serial killer targets a deaf woman in her home only to have her own his ass.
  • You’re Next: A group of masked killers descend on a family dinner only one of the guests is an aussie expat who grew up on a survivalist commune.
  • No One Lives: A bunch of two-bit criminals accidentally kidnap a serial killer. This goes about as well as expected for them.
  • Gone: Police don’t believe a girl when she says her kidnapper is back and behind the disappearance of her sister so she takes things into her own hands.

PS: don’t bother with Julia X or The Final Girl – they’re both shiiiiiiitttttt.

I’d like to add:

  • From the Dark – Couple on a trip through the Irish countryside have car trouble, encounter a creature that must remain in the darkness, female protagonist eventually decides to just kick fucking ass
  • Splinter – Not your average zombie movie by a long shot, mostly because it’s not really zombies. Protags get inventive and fight back.
  • The Descent – An A+ movie on its own, and an A++ movie as far as representation, as it’s basically an all-female cast with tiny walk-on dude parts. A group of lady friends who enjoy extreme sports and spelunking decide to go exploring in this one cave. Except it’s the wrong cave.
  • I Am Not a Serial Killer – Kid thinks he’s so ~edgy~ and psycho, but then encounters someone…or more accurately someTHING…that actually is. Kid who thought he was incapable of caring about humanity decides to find a way to save people.

I feel like there are more… Like, I can’t recall if The Hallow (NOT to be confused with The Hollow) had that, too. You could arguably say Babadook, but I honestly have a completely different interpretation of the ending… But there are more. I might add them as they come to me. 

I mean, these don’t really have the evil cackling, unless you’re in the audience and going “FUCK YEAH, FUCK HIS SHIT UP, GIRL! DAMN!” But they have people who don’t just run away from the monster, and instead take charge to kick the monster’s ass.

I DID NOT REALISE I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER WAS OUT

Also The Descent fucked me up in the best way, what a gift of a movie

  • Kristy (2014) – Girl hunted down alone on campus during Thanksgiving break. She kicks ass and takes names. OK Slasher, perfectly fits this narrative.
  • When Animals Dream (2014) – Girl starts to experience some terrifying changes but when her village tries to hunt her down, the teeth come out. Female sexuality allegory as WEREWOLVES

@richiesseth i know you’ve seen some of these but i thought this would interest you!

Simultaneously the worst and best movie ever made

Actually one of my teachers watched every single version of Romeo and Juliet with the original text in front of him to prove that this was the worst version, but to his great dismay its the most accurate film adaptation of it, with the lines closest to the original text and most similar stage direction and relayed emotions.

He proceeded to show it to us in class.

Dude, seriously.  This version is actually very accurate.

My Shakespeare professor in grad school said the same thing.

I think most Shakespeare movies are just so classy and highbrow with their gorgeous period costumes and mandatory snooty elocutionary accents that people forget how goofy this play actually is. The lines, the characters, the motivations, the babyfaced teen stars, I just… oh my god it’s all so real. I’ve heard a lot of people blast Baz Luhrmann for making such a campy adaptation and it’s just like no, you don’t understand, that was all Shakespeare.

Sometimes I wonder if the real reason it’s disliked is because it was so damn popular with teenage girls.

You mean… Like the actual play?
