On the theme of Furiosa, I grabbed the Mad Max Anthology on 4k the other day, so my wife and I watched Mad Max and The Road Warrior
I had seen Mad Max last probably about 12 years ago so, and not sure of the last time I saw The Road Warrior. I had to warn my wife that Mad Max was not the same kind of movie as Fury Road or Furiosa, and even knowing this, she was really unsure of it. She was quite disturbed by a few scenes. Very odd movie - definitely a product of its time.
The Road Warrior was better than Mad Max, and it felt more like Fury Road, but toned down quite a bit.
I watched a review on YouTube and the reviewer said that The Road Warrior was more like what Mad Max was supposed to be, and Fury Road was more of what The Road Warrior was supposed to be, and that kind of makes sense. Reading about how Mad Max was filmed was quite the journey and surprising it even got made. Man the 70s were quite something weren't they?!

I am getting into Halloween early this year, watching a lot of Shudder. They have a new series called Horror's Greatest, which is your usual clip/talking head show, but I'm a sucker for stuff like that. Joe Hill is one of the talking heads. I also watched a movie that I've heard raves about, IN A VIOLENT NATURE, which is basically a Friday the 13th film told from Jason's perspective. Which, in this case, means about 70 minutes of the 93 minute film is watching the killer walk slowly through the woods. I am not kidding. The mythology is solid, there are some great kills, but almost all of the film is this guy slow-walking through the woods. This could have been a short segment of an anthology film, and it would have been fine. As it stands, it is one of the most boring films I've seen in years.

Not surprised to hear that about IN A VIOLENT NATURE. I love horror movies but have been somewhat uninterested in this one from the get-go. Personally, the last thing I want to know is Jason's (that sort of slashers) perspective or feelings. He's one of those characters that works better when unknowable IMO. I have a feeling this is also the route that the Crystal Lake series is going to take, if it ever comes to pass.

In this regard, the movie didn't really pique my interest, though I was a little swayed by all the high praise it received. I tend to agree with your point about not wanting to know the slasher's perspective, but I will give some praise to 2006's Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon which is horror-comedy(ish) about a documentary crew who are following a new killer who is trying to make a name for himself in the world of slashers. It's been a very long time since I've watched this so I'm not entirely sure how well it holds up, but I remember having a pretty good time with the film.

LESLIE VERNON was a great film! IN A VIOLENT NATURE is nothing like that....the slasher is basically Zombie Jason, so her never speaks, and the time we spend with him is mostly us watching him walk slowly through the woods. It almost felt like a practical joke on the audience.
