i just love it’s dark and almost mythic nautical, maritime vibes and i just can’t find anything else that even resembles that
so if anyone knows of any movies (or any other media) that resemble that please drop them in the comments
Maybe Ingmar Bergman’s Hour of the Wolf. I haven’t seen it in a while, but, island setting, psychological horror, etc. Shame’s filmed on the same island and includes a boat stuck in a pile of floating corpses.
Through a Glass Darkly could work, too. Island, insanity, existential terror.
i loved persona and seventh seal so i’ll definitely have to check those out, thank you
Hard To Be A God by Alexei German - It's not nautical, but watch the trailer - the cinematography is just as striking.
Bait by Mark Jenkins is a modern nautical horror, shot in black and white. It's not so mythic, but it's still a good film.
i’ve had hard to be a god in my watchlist for a while since i’ve hard people compare it to tarkovsky’s stalker i just never got around to it, bait seems interesting though
Moby Dick is pretty much the template for that. Maybe the 1956 film adaptation? Or if you get a chance to see a good performance of The Tempest?
Oo, also - The Terror by Ridley Scott. It's a series originally produced by BBC. It's got the same themes - men isolated together, seafarer/native myths, madness, hunger, poisoning. I don't watch many series but this one really hooked me. The Tuunbaq storyline drags on a bit in the middle but otherwise I loved every second. It's about the doomed arctic expedition on the boats Terror and Erebus.
Don't watch season 2 - it's an unrelated tale about Japanese POWs and it's not even half as good.
that seems great thank you, i love his other stuff that i’ve seen but i had no idea that existed
Oh, and play The Return of the Obra Dinn. Really solid supernatural mystery adventure.
