John Cowan said...: I FINALLY manage to get to the site before someone else has already answered and I'm at a complete loss. I'm gonna go with "Scenes You've Never Seen Before: The John Cowan Story".; 11:56 AM
Jason Adams said...: Well I'm glad you guessed, even if you're at a loss, John! But no that's not it. I think this one could prove difficult.; 12:17 PM
shaun said...: The Shoot Horses Don't They? Just a guess...and not just b/c a horse is present ;o); 3:25 PM
Jason Adams said...: Are there any horses actually in TSHDT? It's been awhile, I can't remember if there are or not. If they like cut away from the metaphor of the title being spoken to show a horse or something. Hrm.

But that's a no, this is not TSHDT.; 3:29 PM
shaun said...: Yeah, couldn't remember if maybe there was a flashback or something at some point that might have included a horsey ;o); 3:32 PM
Anonymous said...: Picnic at hanging rock?; 4:17 PM
Jason Adams said...: Nope, not Picnic at Hanging Rock.; 4:18 PM
Anonymous said...: Heavenly Creatures? Something about the pictures of the old ladies makes me think of that movie.; 4:22 PM
Jason Adams said...: Not Heavenly Creatures.; 4:23 PM
shaun said...: Last guess -- The Cell? I don't think so, though...; 4:31 PM
Jason Adams said...: Nope, not The Cell, shaun.

Eventually if no one gets this I'll add some more frames to perhaps help y'all out, but I feel like holding off for a bit, give more people a chance to see if they know...; 4:33 PM
Anonymous said...: Something is *ping*ping*ping*ing with the second frame but I watch a lot of movies, and damn me if I can't recall it.; 5:05 PM
Simon said...: Uh...I can't even tell how old it is...I want to say a Wes Anderson movie, because horses staring straight into the camera is so...like him...

But it's not. Brideshead Revisited?; 5:17 PM
Jason Adams said...: Nope not Brideshead Revisited, Simon. It's also not any of Wes Anderson's movies.; 5:18 PM
Michele said...: Cemetery Man, kids.

Weird, I'm not that much of a horror person but I saw that movie for the first time this weekend.; 5:20 PM
Jason Adams said...: BAM! There it is. Good work, Michele! It's actually been a very long while since I've seen this movie so I probably wouldn't have recognized these frames myself, if I hadn't been the one to post them. But I knew somebody would get it eventually. What did you think of the movie, Michele? I remember finding it weird and fascinating.; 5:24 PM
Michele said...: I saw it in a horror movie double feature/exchange program of sorts in which me and my brother each picked one movie for the other one to watch. He hated it throughout, of course, and I kept mentioning that if he hated this, he'd hate Terry Gilliam's entire body of work. But after it was through, I couldn't help but think it WAS kind of the 'Brazil' of the zombies subgenre. The romance subplot is bizarre and cruel but subdued enough to make it enduring in its own strange way. Rupert Everett was never prettier and shirtless-er, so that helped too.

I dug it alright, the Italian satire was often brillaint, the imagery was gorgeously grotesque and the repetitively dated score actually worked in its favour most of the time.; 5:54 PM
Anonymous said...: Oh my god, of course it's Dell'Amore Dell'amorte. No wonder the second image ping'ed.

Great, underseen movie.

I was watching a lot of italian 60's/70's/80's horror at the time, and while I found some of the stylistic tics charming and adept, early on, I thought it was just gonna be one of those halfbaked creations: good-to-great on the gore, so-so on the storytelling. I realised how wrong I was in the latter half.

Rewatch!; 7:53 PM
