41 of 41 · most liked firstI didn't expect to strike gold twice with #YouTubeFilmSky this week, but here I am, on this #LetterboxdFriday, having both Spontaneous Combustion and Mindwarp on my #LastFourWatched. I'd never heard of these B-movie masterpieces before, and I can give them my strongest recommendation. #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →Things I was frightened of as a child: Quicksand The Bermuda triangle Spontaneous human combustion Having my feet cut off by a train (public information film) Drowning in a slurry pit (ditto) Being run over near an ice-cream van (ditto) The Cybermen Heights Still not great with heights tbh
neutral · AI labelView post →Spontaneous Combustion (1989) is an unhinged, high-concept, sci-fi body-horror thriller. This film takes a goofy scientific premise and turns it up to eleven with Tobe Hooper’s signature sweaty, frenetic brand of exploitation paranoia. #scifi #horror #horrormovies #horrorsky #horrorjunkie

neutral · AI labelView post →About once a month, my wife & I "dress for dinner". Good china, light music, a bottle of good wine. It's fun, romantic, and damn if it isn't like an old b&w movie. Spontaneous dancing occasionally happens.
neutral · AI labelView post →Really enjoyed WHALEFALL. It was one of those movies with several points where I genuinely had no idea what the protagonist could do next. Great "All is lost" moment at the end of Act Two. Not sure if it replaces SPONTANEOUS as my favorite Brian Duffield movie, it's a powerful ride
positive · AI labelView post →It's definitely possible to tell a romantic story with a dark or Dystopian setting, while still addressing the implications and themes of said setting. A good example of such a movie that accomplished this is the highly underseen Spontaneous from 2020.

neutral · AI labelView post →Revisited @brianduffield.bsky.social's SPONTANEOUS today. The film has become exponentially more profound in light of the world today. It's frustrations @ the "cosmic bullshit of the universe" reverberate and move me even deeper now. Phenomenally lit, too (hard sources, YAY!) Incredible first film.
positive · AI labelView post →Spontaneous nosebleed while brushing teeth, real horror movie shit
neutral · AI labelView post →This is my second favorite movie where people spontaneously explode. Y’all should really check out Spontaneous. #HATM #ReadyOrNot
positive · AI labelView post →Spontaneous movie going isn’t even a thing anymore much less if someone wanted to whisk me away someplace I’d need meds, boarding for the chihuahua pitbull mix and neighbors to feed the plethora of critters. Anyway Paris is burning.
neutral · AI labelView post →From the movie Spontaneous
neutral · AI labelView post →Daily Brad Dourif character! 14. A leading man role in a naff film, he’s Sam Kramer in Tobe Hooper’s Spontaneous Combustion! Need someone to convincingly play a man who can’t stop spontaneously combusting? Brad’s your guy!
neutral · AI labelView post →SPONTANEOUS (2020) has one of the most unforgettable movie premises in years. Episode: pod.link/1477564319 #filmpodcast #podernfamily
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night, I wasn't even looking at movies, but the algorithm kept suggesting them, so I played a little YouTube movie roulette. First up, Tobe Hooper's all but forgotten Spontaneous Combustion (1989). youtu.be/6WohKNgnSsk?...
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve mentioned this before - but post film school I was involved in making video films on the supernatural. I met Ufologists, Earth Light experts, a specialist in Spontaneous Human Combustion, one of the family terrorised at Witch Farm…and a medium, who turned out to be our old college dinner lady.
neutral · AI labelView post →We're continuing the October Spooktacular with Tobe Hooper's Spontaneous Combustion, a movie that rules and was clearly picked clean for inspiration by Fallout developers. toiletovhell.com/toilet-radio...
positive · AI labelView post →Happy October, Im 60 movies in 😎 rewatches: IT, Bird Box, Ready or Not 1 & 2, Insidious Ch 2, 28 Days Later & 28 Weeks Later both Ready or Not movies & 28 Days Later are the best of those of the new to me stuff, Exit 8 and Spontaneous (another terrible poster/good movie situation) were standouts
positive · AI labelView post →Spontaneous is still the best movie about kids exploding.
positive · AI labelView post →Spontaneous enthusiasm in the audience usually makes the movie better for me
neutral · AI labelView post →Also shoutout to anyone who's seen the movie "Spontaneous" Still one of my favorite movies :')
positive · AI labelView post →I see Spontaneous is on Film 4 at 11:25. A really smart, gory horror with a lot to say.
positive · AI labelView post →I don’t know how a movie about exploding children can be adorable and yet “Spontaneous” somehow manages.
positive · AI labelView post →Finally watched Spontaneous Combustion, a movie I had been curious about for a long time. It was okay, not especially amazing.
neutral · AI labelView post →This could explain the movie 'Spontaneous' (2020)
neutral · AI labelView post →Always a treat to talk with Kev and Erin, but moreover when we can talk about a great film! Check out our episode on this hidden gem called #Spontaneous
neutral · AI labelView post →Ever watched "Spontaneous"? Great film about people "Popping like balloons". youtu.be/0dt523AHZWY?...
neutral · AI labelView post →🎬 On Oct 17, RevKino members took part in “The Right to Be Spontaneous: Film Initiatives of the 2020s,” a parallel programme of the Message to Man festival, held at the Community space on New Holland Island.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished watching Tobe Hooper's Spontaneous Combustion from 1990. I don't get why people say this is a bad film from him. I thoroughly enjoyed this body horror/dark comedy film. Brad Dourif's performance was great.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Spontaneous, in prep for Halloween. So funny. Streamers need to stop burying the good stuff.
positive · AI labelView post →Whalefall is not just another successful adaptation by Brian Duffield (seek out Spontaneous), nor is it just another Austin Abrams going through hell film. It’s a strong survival thriller with big emotions. I really liked it. More in my review at Awards Radar: awardsradar.com/2026/10/14/f...
neutral · AI labelView post →Stumbled across SPONTANEOUS on one of the movie channels and goddamn do I love this movie. It always hits me really, REALLY hard. Of all the movies that missed out on a theatrical release due to COVID, this is the one I wish I could’ve seen with an audience.
positive · AI labelView post →Banshees Quicksand Spontaneous combustion Rolf Harris's feet in that 'learn to swim' public information film
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's film was 'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come' - a brilliantly bloody sequel that would pair fantastically well with 'Spontaneous' as a double-feature.
neutral · AI labelView post →COHERENCE (film, 2013): Friends gather for a dinner party & “Twilight Zone” shit happens. SPONTANEOUS (film, 2020): Life-affirming high school movie about teenagers spontaneously exploding. THE INSIDER (film, 1999): True story that foretold all the mainstream media fuckery today. Best Mann film
