So This Is What Happens When You (and Not For The First Time) Watch Some Behind The Scenes-stuff From

♥️

So this is what happens when you (and not for the first time) watch some behind the scenes-stuff from The Old Guard. You end up doing an endless amount of screenshots. Just because. What can I say…? 

Ships as horror movies

Because I love horror. Naturally, read further at your own risk, all warnings apply:

Winnix - Body horror

A tale about helplessly witnessing a loved one to succumb to a transformation, if from Dick’s PoV

A tale about being infested with something foreign that slowly takes you over and destroys your humanity, if from Nix’s PoV

Horror comes from within. Your own body is your enemy.

Nix has fought it for so long, keeping it at bay and keeping himself together.

But now he’s reached his breaking point. He’s too tired.

Something lives inside him; something alien, something inhuman, and it’s growing, it’s taking over and slowly growing from inside out, and no matter how much he fights it, he can’t stop it.

Dick tries to help, but he can’t.

No matter how much he cares and wants to help, he doesn’t know what he’s up against. He can’t see it, he can’t reach it, and he’s powerless to stop it.

He is also afraid. The man he knows and loves is slipping away from him, he’s losing him piece by piece as the person he was is twisted and turned into something else.

It is painful. It is dirty. It is disgusting. It is hard to watch.

It’s also private and intimate. This tragedy is for the two of them. It’s the slow destruction of not only one person, but his relationship.

The thing Nix is turning to may be a monster of some sort (pick your location: woods for a werewolf, beach for a merman), or perhaps it’s a disease that rots him until he’s just a walking corpse. In any case, his humanity will be gone.

How long will love keep you from screaming in disgust and terror?

How deep can loss cut you?

Speirton - Slasher

Someone here is a killer. But who???

A secluded location, a group of friends and aquitances, no way out…

…and then the murders start. Gruesome, horrible, bloody murders, when the people get picked off one by one.

Ron is a killer who’s looking for the one who will complete him: his final girl.

Or boy. Because Carwood is the perfect mix of pure and strong, someone whose animal instinct Ron just craves to see awakened.

It’s a story about twisted love and obsession, and how everyone else around lovers becomes expendable meat in the elaborate game of survival.

Our hero has been seduced, played, and finally betrayed when his lover turns out to be the killer who just wants to take the game of survival to the extreme with him.

There’s going to be obscene violence and murders, and moments of tender comfort and encouragement that will really punch you in the gut when you realize what Ron is really up to

But it’s just love. Running through the woods makes your heart race. Struggling with a killer makes your blood pump. Torture is just physical act of emotion taken to an extreme. Pain and pleasure are so close to each other, aren’t  they?

Every killer needs the one victim who’s heroic, pure and willing to fight. Otherwise, what’s even the point?

Who doesn’t want to feel completed, after all?

BabeRoe - Cult/Possession

 Strange things happen in the deep dark depth of the swamp

People who haven’t much left their home have their own ways of doing things, their own traditions, their own… rituals.

It’s all really normal, if you just take a glance at it. If you’re an outsider, you’ll just pass through and that’s it, or maybe you won’t venture far enough from the town in the first place.

For Gene though, it’s home. Home he can never leave.

There are local businesses, bars and a school, but they are not quite right.

There are friendly neighbors, but they are not quite right.

There’s a church, but it’s not quite right.

Poor Babe had no idea what it meant to meet Gene’s family.

But it’s time.

Sooner or later, It needs to be fed.

This is a tale about a cult that has formed because a local spiritual leader was corrupted. An unholy creature has cursed an entire community and now feeds on their worship - and souls.

Gene has been demanded a sacrifice, and he planned to delived. Only, Babe earned his affections for real, and together they are willing to fight the unholy and defy the community.

Well… “Fight”. Or maybe just run. Perhaps only survive. Or maybe just die with their souls still theirs.

You can’t set the bar too high. After all, the swamps are dark and deep, and it’s so very easy to get lost.

Webgott - Creature Feature

The most unlikely team is out on a hunt for a Creature.

Web the scientist is naive, passionate and wants to study it.

Joe who’s accompanying him as a technician/driver/muscle/common sense doesn’t believe in monsters, but if he did, he’d hunt it.

Their small expedition ventures deep into the ocean, so deep there’s no light, but they do find grand underwater structures of a sunken city, just like their mysterious sources said they would.

(That, or a graveyard of ships. Either way, a maze of a location more interesting than just empty water, and that is hauntingly beautiful to look at.)

The Creature is real! Oh no!

The Creature is also not at all what they thought. It’s not an animal. It is smart, it is powerful, it is ancient, and it is terrifying beyond comprehension, and it hungers.

It is dangerous, it is mysterious, and it is Evil. And it wants something horrible.

It wants them for food, it wants to kill for fun, and it wants them for hosts of its offspring.

Selection of monster grossness: Slime, eggs, parasites. Maybe mindcontrol for extra terror and to really push that “the evil will corrupt and violate you in every way” angle.

Web wanted to study and understand It, so he’s the one who succumbs to its lure. He has to be rescued.

It’s not only the creature that’s terrifying, though. It’s the deep waters, the silent ocean, the oxygen tank that might run out or leak, everything else that lurks in the deep dark depths, and the crushing pressure of cold, unforgiving water.

How many will reach the surface, see the sun and breath fresh air again?

A mistake is way too boring, my mind is running so many ideas why these objects are in Dick's room, I'm loving it.

Can anyone help me, please? In episode 5 of Band of Brothers in Dick “teetotaller” Winters’ hotel room in Paris, there are an almost empty glass, what looks like a half empty bottle of whisky and on the chair an USAAF ARMY OFFICER’S CRUSH CAP. This is obviously not a mistake. The room is very dark outside the bathroom, but if you lighten up the shot, you can see them very clearly, hidden in plain sight. The director of ep. 5 “Crossroads” is Tom Hanks, so why did he put these items in Winters’ room? Why did he hide them? Is there a logical explanation I can’t find? Help? Anyone?

At first I was like 'nahh, that doesn't apply to me' because instinctive answer was 'polish the box? Nope. It should be open. Hiding God somewhere in my room would be criminal. He should be up and about, accessible to all people, helping them and bringing joy to the world'.

And then it hit me. I hide myself in my room. I need to go out. I want to bring joy in the life of others.

One time my rabbi told us, “imagine you had a box with a little bit of god in it. What would you do with the box?”

So we were like ?? “We’d protect it and keep it nice and clean and polished” and he was like “your body’s that box. Stop eating markers”

I need this for my own sake, because I'm not always sure I said No.
