Answers So Far..

  • Someone asked:
    I am trying so hard to find this "documentary". A black and white i think 30ish minute film. It's all in a morgue, watching morticians work. You see the bodies but never their faces. It was so somber and I have a huge itch to find it but all I can remember as a title was something like facing death. Help!!!
    • Stephanie Malone replied:
      My best guess: “The Act of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes” (1971) by Stan Brakhage. It is a 32-minute film set in a morgue, documenting forensic autopsies with no dialogue or narration, and it has a reputation for being one of the bleakest, most direct cinematic confrontations with death. It’s not B&W, but it strongly matches that somber tone and length. It is more like an art film than a conventional documentary, but it sounds like what you’re describing. Check it out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG6VE8LUw1I Another strong contender is “Aftermath” (1994), the notorious Spanish short by Nacho Cerdà. It runs about 30 minutes and takes place largely in a morgue. It is dialogue-free and highly focused on the handling of corpses. But it is not a documentary at all. It’s an extreme horror short. It’s also in color. Also on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u41hLMBEcQ Either of those right, or should I keep looking?
  • Someone asked:
    Who is my soulmate in Scream 6?
    • Stephanie Malone replied:
      Glad you asked, Ghostface lover. True love in the Scream universe is a dangerous game — but we’ve got you covered. Take our quick quiz below and find your perfect (possibly murderous) match. 💔 Which Scream VI Character Is Your Soulmate? 💋🔪 You survived the call. Now find out who you’d risk your final-girl energy for. 1️⃣ Pick a first date: A) Movie night with popcorn and fake blood B) Gym session — survival training counts as flirting C) Spicy New York pizza, extra danger D) Museum of murder weapons (romantic, right?) E) Something low-key… like hiding from a killer 2️⃣ Your ideal horror-movie role: A) The sarcastic best friend who always lives B) The rule-breaker who runs toward the noise C) The calm strategist with trust issues D) The mysterious newcomer with trauma and great hair E) The wildcard who might be a stone cold killer 3️⃣ Your red flag: A) I think Ghostface is kinda hot B) I’d totally record the killings for my podcast C) I never drop the knife D) I’m emotionally unavailable (but photogenic) E) I answer unknown calls --- 🔪 Results Mostly A’s — Chad Meeks-Martin You’re into sweet chaos. He’ll protect you with his biceps and a smile, but you’ll probably end up comforting him after the next attack. Mostly B’s — Sam Carpenter You’ve got dark chemistry and a taste for danger. Love language: trauma bonding and knife safety. Mostly C’s — Tara Carpenter You need someone fierce but grounded. You’ll argue, then save each other from Ghostface. It’s basically foreplay. Mostly D’s — Kirby Reed Your love is built on sarcasm, true-crime trivia, and trust issues. You flirt with pop-culture references and trauma scars. Mostly E’s — Ghostface (pick your version) You love the thrill of the chase… maybe too much. Every relationship’s a scream. ---
  • Someone asked:
    Hi following up to the answers to my questions. None of those movies you mentioned are it. Maybe the space was on showtime or hbo around 1994 95 and not skinemax as I recall? Space 1999 or 2099 and it's about women in space and not Emmanuelle. The horror movie italian one i saw its not that one either nor h.r. I really would love to know what that space flick was ?thanks again and apologies.
    • Stephanie Malone replied:
      Sorry that we couldn't help you. I hope you find what you are looking for, at least find some other similar films you can check out and hopefully enjoy.
  • Someone asked:
    There was a movie aired on skinemax around 1993-94/95 time frame. That was about space and the movie was from that period it was space 2099 or something 2099? Or 2000? With boobs of course. My follow up question is there is a movie about a maze in hell or something similar I forget the name of the film and its not hell raiser I once saw the dvd at supermarket for sale.
    • Stephanie Malone replied:
      We are happy to help you track down these movies, or at least films with a similar vibe that you may enjoy. For the late-night Cinemax, sci-fi film with lots of nudity (circa 1993-95), here are our best guesses: * Emmanuelle in Space (1994) — A 7-episode soft-core sci-fi miniseries that was a late-night cable staple. Krista Allen’s Emmanuelle teaches a crew of aliens about human sexuality; the episodes were often edited into “movies” for cable runs. 
 * Caged Heat 3000 (1995) — Futuristic women-in-prison exploitation set in the year 3000, produced in the Roger Corman ecosystem; plenty of nudity and a very pay-cable feel. If you remember a literal year in the title, this could be it. 
 * Beach Babes from Beyond (1993): Although the name implies a beach setting, the plot involves three alien women whose spaceship breaks down on Earth. 
 * Femalien (1996) — Just a hair outside your date range, but it aired heavily on late-night cable: an erotic sci-fi feature from Surrender Cinema about aliens coming to Earth to experience human sensation. For the horror film set in a maze/underworld with Hellraiser-ish vibes (but not Hellraiser), it most sounds like As Above, So Below (2014)—a found-footage descent into the Paris Catacombs that deliberately mirrors Dante’s circles of Hell; the characters navigate a literal subterranean labyrinth with a “hell on Earth” feel. If that’s not it, here are a few other films it might be, or at least ones we think you’d enjoy: * Nightbreed (1990) — Clive Barker’s dark fantasy/horror about an underground city (Midian) reached through a graveyard; it’s a sprawling monster labyrinth and shares that Barker aesthetic even though it isn’t Hellraiser. * Event Horizon (1997) — Sci-fi horror, but often compared to Hellraiser for its “gateway to a hell dimension” vibe and imagery; the ship itself functions like a steel labyrinth. 
 * Cube (1997): This film is about a group of strangers trapped in a giant, deadly, cube-shaped maze of rooms with no memory of how they got there. 
 * The Beyond (1981): This one is older, but it's an Italian horror classic by Lucio Fulci that involves a hotel built over one of the seven gateways to Hell, which unleashes monstrous horror.
 * Baskin (2015): This Turkish body-horror film features a group of police officers who stumble upon an abandoned building where a black mass is being held. They enter what is essentially a physical portal to a grotesque, subterranean Hell, which they must navigate.
 * The Void (2016): Set in an isolated hospital, the characters find themselves trapped as the building becomes a constantly changing, shifting gateway to a demonic, tentacled cosmic horror dimension. The architecture itself warps and becomes a terrifying, inescapable prison.
  • Someone asked:
    I hope you’ve been well! I wanted to reach out with an update regarding The Fetch, which you previously reviewed. The film has officially been retitled The Twin and was released on July 1st, 2025, through Vertical Entertainment. The Twin is now available to stream on AppleTV, Amazon, and PVOD and will be released on Shudder this fall. I’m incredibly grateful for your support of the film in its earlier stages, and I wanted to make sure you had this update in case you'd like to revise your previous review, share the release, or simply check out the final version. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to provide answers! Thank you again for your thoughtful coverage and support of independent film! Thanks so much!
    • Stephanie Malone replied:
      Thanks so much for letting us know. We reshared our original review of the film and added the name change and release information!

  • Someone asked:
    Hey! First of all, thank you for the amazing site. I’ve been looking for a site like this for a while. Second, can anyone tell me about new extreme films that are being released? I’m a massive fan of Von Trier, Noe and Haneke. So anything similar to the films these guys produce would be greatly appreciated. Thanks folks 🤙🏻
    • Stephanie Malone replied:
      Hi! Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm the site's editor and also a huge extreme film fan. In fact, we are looking to share more extreme horror reviews in 2025 and are launching an extreme horror podcast early this year. For now, let me share some recommendations. The Danish version of “Speak No Evil” on Shudder (not the recent American remake) is chilling. I loved “Project Wolf Hunting” on Prime, a South Korean action-horror hybrid that escalates into hyper-violent chaos, blending intense gore with a claustrophobic atmosphere. I love the work of experimental filmmaker Johannes Grenzfurthner. His latest, “Solvent”, is one I highly recommend. We reviewed it on this site if you want to read up on it. If you’re looking for something a bit more surreal and fun while also being grotesque and psychedelic, you might enjoy Alex Phillips’ “All Jacked Up and Full of Worms”. I really enjoy “The Outwaters” by Robbie Banfitch. It’s an experimental found-footage film that descends into cosmic horror and visceral madness. Other recent films worth seeking out include “The Spine of the Night”, “Violent Delights”, “Saint Drogo”, “Shady Grove”, “Hatching”, “Hotel Poseidon”, and “Meander”. If you’re looking for films that are more extreme, disturbing, and boundary-pushing—akin to Salo or Serbian Film—let us know!

  • Someone asked:
    How can I submit my movie for review?
    • Stephanie Malone replied:
      Right here! https://morbidlybeautiful.com/review-request/
  • Someone asked:
    Re: Around the World in 80 Films, here's a tag for Indonesia: Why not Mystics in Bali (1981)? It does look aged, but the premise works pretty well in a crazy RUFKM context that features a mind-blowing Southeast Asian monster. Can you say penangalaar? ...oops, that's two questions.... Radio Dave ("Rock'n'Horror Baby!")
    • Stephanie Malone replied:
      Thank you for the recommendation! I see that it's not currently streaming anywhere. But I will do my best to track down a copy so we can review it and share it with our readers. We also take some guest contributions in case you want to share your personal thoughts on the film and make a case for it. We appreciate you!
