Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is worth seeing for Dennis Hopper chainsaw-dueling. Return of the Living Dead 2, however, is completely irredeemable. The best thing on Wilhelm Scream's list is Cigarette Burns.

bad movie knight posted:People hate on shot-for-shot remakes too much. It doesn't mitigate the original...and neither Quarantine, Funny Games '08 nor Psycho '98 are by any means terrible or even mediocre. They just have the disadvantage of not doing it first. I think shot for shot remakes just feel pointless. Maybe not for foreign movies like Rec and The Ring. I just don't think Psycho worked in 98, it needed updating.

Thanks guys. Scanners is where that gif of the exploding glasses guys head came from right? Seen Teeth, Quarantine, LtROI, The Signal, Ghost Ship (that whole... montage with the people dying and the electronic/trip hopy song was unusual), Nightmare on Elm Street, and a handful more. Don't know if they're still up on instant, but has anyone seen Deadgirl or Splinter? Splinter was more B-movie killer creature, Deadgirl was incredibly hosed up and icky. I really should give Audition a go, considering I had the ending spoiled for me ages ago, though I'm not really much for torture horror.

It's difficult to judge apart from the source material. The acting is really terrible, the quick cuts of the clouds screw up the pacing of key moments, and the addition of Norman masturbating to Marion totally fucks up the subtext.

I know there were a lot more, and I too thought they were great when I was 17, but being unable to remember them now is the surest sign that I was wrong. At 17. How predictable. And you know what's even sadder? Ten years from now, I'll look back and realize I was wrong about everything at 27 too. Keanu Grieves fucked around with this message at 03:18 on May 26, 2010 |

I remember at the time people where saying we where flooded with slasher movies but looking at the list, there really wasn't that many. I guess you could count The Faculty as well and if you live in the UK there was also Cherry Falls and Long Time Dead released in cinemas over here although Long Time Dead was pretty bad.

As dumb as they are, the slick, self-referential kinda silly Scream clones were much better than the crazed mutant psychos (Wrong Turn et al) and torture porn (Saw, Hostel) trends. But most importantly, I'm glad The Eye pretty much put an end to the remake-every-semi-popular-Asian-film trend. Because EVERY one of those was complete poo poo. Pretty soon the remake trend will die too, as they're running out of franchises to remake. After that, what will be the next trend>?

Wilhelm Scream posted:Wrong guy, I hated that movie As for the next trend, I'm hoping we take a page from the French. It's a cliche by now, but I'll be goddamned if the French weren't the masters of horror from 2003 to the end of the decade. Not every French horror movie was great, but the ones that were, were masterpieces -- provocative, intelligent and genuinely scary. Also, I don't want creature features to become a trend since I don't find things like The Host scary, but it would be cool if Lovecraftian abominations and gateways to other worlds were the next big thing in horror.

I doubt the remake trend will end anytime soon. Mainly because remakes aren't the same genre each time, meaning a remake of The Changling will be very differnt to a remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The reason other trends die out for awhile (Slashers, Ghost Movies, Torture, Vampires) is because a mainstream audience get fed up with the same thing constantly. Just finished High Lane, thought it was pretty decent, likable cast good suspence, kind of let down by a bad ending, terrible looking villian and some characters turning into dicks at the end. I wonder if Hollywood will ever start remaking foreign slashers, Cold Prey, High Lane, 3 Days To Die (Ugh, terrible, remake could only improve it).

Especially if it means more work for Stuart Gordon and John Carpenter, two directors who can pull off a Lovecraftian movie, I think Wasn't Guillermo Del Toro supposed to be doing a Lovecraft movie? I imagine that's on hold until after The Hobbit anyway.

Haha looks like I missed a good argument after I posted my suggestions! I recommended Quarantine because most regular people who are not sperglords couldn't give a poo poo that the exact same movie was made earlier but in Spanish. Murder Set Pieces is interesting as a serious attempt at going over the top with gore and misogyny. It pushes the boundaries of all that is decent, even if it isn't terribly original or good. And also I am in my 30's and enjoy turning my brain off and enjoying movies! e: I love Guillermo Del Toro toooooooooo e2: and Drood *is* awesome, I am just finishing it up.

Gore and tits. In that order. Order was the reverse until I was about 22. I certainly don't hate thought provoking movies but movies that I buy to watch over and over again, the movies that I like to talk about on message boards, etc... are almost universally gore, splatter, exploitation, trash, sleaze, etc. Movies with virtually no redeeming qualities. I was the kid who read Gorezone, Cinefantastique, and Fangoria in 4th grade.

There needs to be a vampire break. I'm excited about Stakeland because it's going to be gross violent vampires (more feral/rabid/I am Legend-y) and I enjoyed Daybreakers and True Blood, but it needs to go back into its coffin for a while (bad pun intended.) I think 2-3 new vampire shows have popped up in the past couple of years since the whole Twilight thing. I'd like to see more ghosts and more sort of disaster/plague stuff. There haven't been too many (American, at least) ghost movies the past 2 or 3 years have there? Paranormal Activity, The Unborn, The Uninvited are all I can think of off the top of my head.  No idea how the movie will turn out, but I LOVE this poster. The trailer looked like Emily Rose x REC.

bad movie knight posted:The two aren't mutually exclusive though. There are intelligent horror movies that are absolutely drenched in blood -- taking it back to the French here. I don't disagree with you here - but I am certainly free to like both L'Interieur and Friday the 13th, for independent reasons. Also, to ape a goon from a page or two back: it's interesting how incredibly violent films can become "intelligent horror" when they are critically acclaimed or foreign. As for gore for its own sake - I don't know. I ceased to "get" anything out of it a long time ago. It is amusing, it's cool, if it is done in a unique way it can make you laugh and be curious about how they did it. I like to watch other people be grossed out by something that has basically no effect on me.
