Anyway, Sorority Row is awesome, total throwback to the 80s slasher movie who done its I loved so much. Cool kills (although not a bloodbath) great suspence, good characters and a killer revelation THAT DOESN'T loving CHEAT. I highly recommend Sorority Row.

I thought there would be a reference there. All the guys in the movie where total assholes. Don't know if this was intentional or not. Leah Pipes pretty much steals the entire movie as the super bitch Jessica. She gets all the good lines in the movie and somehow becomes kind of likable even though she's a total bitch.

Yeah Sorority Row isn't bad. Certainly better than Halloween II and is a pretty fun romp. It's comparable to Black Christmas redux except this got fun slasher remake right.

Someone just showed me the movie The Poughkeepsie tapes which I had not seen, thats a pretty interesting film. Not amazing but definitely good with what they had. The talking heads get annoying but other than that I liked it as a whole Mockumentary / Slasher film. Any word or screenshots from the new Nightmare on Elmstreet? I read they were toning down the Child molester angle on it.

The talking heads get annoying but other than that I liked it as a whole Mockumentary / Slasher film. Not sure if it really counts as a slaher flick, but I'll throw my two cents in about Poughkeepsie. For the most part it's an enjoyable flick, even if the acting is never 100% convincing. Some of the mock found-footage scenes, however, do approach a kind of uncomfortable line of distaste: even though of course it's fake, it's supposed to look like actual torture/murder footage as much as possible, so in effect we're supposed to be getting a thrill from watching people get murdered. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth in parts. If the movie ever actually gets released (it was made in, what 2006?), I imagine they might cut a bit of the video footage, especially since some of them go on for a while. But whenever the movie's trying to be the biggest, baddest episode of Forensics Files or Unsolved Mysteries, it's a hoot.

Well, I just saw Deadgirl and...it's a pretty interesting movie. Probably the best social-satire horror film about adolescent desires since Teeth. However, Deadgirl is much, much darker and much, much more perverse. Of all the crappy horror films I watch, it's rare to see one with a point, and rarer still to see one that intentionally pushes buttons to make that point. I mean, if you think about it, Deadgirl is nothing but a horrific distortion of the male fantasy taken to its logical extreme. I wish more filmmakers chose to use horror in the way it was originally used for these days. EDIT: To anyone who saw the festival version, was there some kind of hint that the dead girl was imaginary? Reading reviews from that era, it seems as if that's what critics took from it, that it may have been about repressed homosexual desires as much as objectification of women.

bad movie knight posted:But it works so beautifully as a metaphor for hormonal urges or something like that, and it sets up that final shot. I would have liked it better if the deadgirl "making" process was more of the actual rape and dehumanisation, instead of some virus that then allowed them to morally accept what they would do. Basically I wanted to see them take that next step on moral degradation without thinking "well she can't die, she aint human then!"

Deadgirl was good because what the two teenagers do is completely and utterly realistic. I didn't particularly care for it but felt it was a strong horror movie. Feminist will have fun with it.

Hrm, I felt almost the opposite about Deadgirl. It entertained me, but the actions and motivations of most of the characters usually felt unrealistic. Maybe it was the acting not helping - the pacing and delivery of the lines just felt...wrong somehow. I didn't really mind that they didn't explain why the dead girl was there and in that state but it did bug me that the dog for no real reason other than to force a few events didn't even have a hint of explanation or sense to it. I liked it, it was pretty interesting, but it could have been a lot better.

It's one of the least progressive horror movies to come out for some time. You should be prepared for people to inexplicably split up, act casually when they're in overt danger, and make no attempt to either kill or confirm the death of a villain. If it wasn't for the smarmy and sarcastic bitchy blonde lending that post-90s ironic twinge it could have been a glossy version of something from the 80s.

I just read Cold Prey 3 is in production. Looks like it's going to be a prequel. I Think Cold Prey 1 and 2 are one of the best made slasher movies of this decade. Hope they don't gently caress 3 up.

IceNiner posted:Would you rank SR above or below the remakes of Halloween or Friday the 13th? I was thinking of giving SR a try just for a boredom escape. Whoops, missed this. Really, if you're at all interested in SR I suspect it will meet your expectations. With the exception of nudity by the main cast, it's the 80s movie it advertises itself to be. Some gore (but not late 2000s gore), lots of bad choices by the characters, and a big finale finish. Although I had problems with both of them, I think it's probably about on par with the Friday and first Halloween remakes. But that's a hard comparison because they were all aiming for different things. Halloween was trying to be different and succeeded and failed in some respects. Friday was trying to update and brought in some problems. SR isn't trying to do either in my opinion so if there are things you love about 80s slashers, I think you'll find them. If there are things that frustrate you about 80s slashers, I think you'll find them here as well.

I know I'm quite late in seeing this, but I finally saw Halloween 2, and I honestly loved it. I get the argument about Michael warping to and fro, but I didn't find it too out of place or any kind of deal breaker. I expected that he was going to find her, and it honestly doesn't really matter too much how he gets there (barring anything too ridiculous). I think it played the mother/horse/PTSD thing fine. She says to her therapist at one point, "without my parents, I don't know who I am", so it comes as no surprise that upon discovering they weren't her biological family, she ends up making a connection with her new identity because the old one is so flimsy. There's obviously some kind of connection between her and Michael, and instead of rebelling against it, she accepts it.

Not sure if this is the thread for it, but what do people know about Human Centipede? I'm not usually into so-hosed-it's-scary horror, but this concept it just so bizarre and off-putting that I'm curious as to how it holds up in a feature-length movie. I can't imagine that there's much to be seen. http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/09/27/barf-city-clip-from-the-human-centipede-one-of-the-grossest-movies-of-all-time/

I think this looks very interesting, and to be honest, it looks scary, something Freddy hasn't been since "New Nightmare" (and even that was a brief stop before heading back to "camp" with Freddy Vs. Jason. No that wasn't supposed to be a Crystal Lake pun) From what I gathered during readings of Script Reviews and one line in the trailer it looks as if they are trying to make it ambiguous if Freddy was really guilty of the crimes that the parents burned him for. While this is an interesting route, I hope that in the end, he is guilty. I dunno why, but the fact that he did what he did BEFORE he died makes him ten times creepier to me. Apparently in one draft of the script, the kids he kills in the film actually lied to their parents about certain aspects of what Freddy was doing...so...I dunno about all that, but...I enjoyed the hell out of both Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th from the PD guys (let's ignore Hitcher and the TCM preuel), and this looks to be a good addition to their fun adaptations. I am really digging the new look and voice of Kruger though. Rock on, Jackie! Edit: I also really hope they keep nothing of the ending of the original film. Holy poo poo...Poor Wes Craven being told to shoe-horn the Freddy crap into that. The Love Doll-through-the-window gag is still kinda hilarious though. the "I take away the power I give you" part of the ending was also pretty weak, but I imagine they ran out of time and ideas by that point. Actually only one of the Freddy films does away with him in an actual well-written manner. Dream Warriors has the best ending of all the films, even New Nightmare, I feel (though New Nightmare comes close) TheBigBudgetSequel fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Sep 28, 2009 |

While I am impressed by the trailer, I will say that I am little peeved that they had to do some shot for shot recreations from the original movie. At best it seems kinda lazy film making and winking at the audiences if that makes any sense. I certainly hope though there are some intensive and new kills as oppose to just recycling the same kills from before.

I don't if these are right, but I can remember: 1: don't believe in him 2: heterosexuality 3: burial on hallowed ground 4: show him a mirror 5: ? Freddy's Dead: bring him into the real world and blow him up New Nightmare: stab him with his own glove Freddy vs. Jason: bring him into the real world and cut his head off (maybe) I guess New Nightmare and 3 do work best, though Freddy's Dead/Freddy vs. Jason (bring him into the real world and kill him there) would probably work best though the actual movies' execution kind of blows.
