To me Childs Play 1 is better because it’s the only one to work with the doll as a creepy uncanny thing rather than just a weird little goblin.

Curse of Chucky is really good at this too to be honest. Child's Play is such a strange series because you can divide it into subsections. 1-3 are the typical slashers, Bride and Seed are horror comedies, then Curse and Cult are almost seperate entities. Curse is a weird slasher/almost haunted house film? and Cult is loving bonkers. Both of those movies loving rule by the way.

Curse is almost a Giallo, right down to the ending.

Curse and Cult are almost part of my dream horror franchise where they let a different director with totally different styles to create a film in an established franchise. They are both so wildly different in style and tone and it really sucks that we're next stuck with a remake that by all accounts will just be a boring retread of the first film when it would be so much better to continue the franchise with another new shot.

Accidentally forgot to bookmark the new thread and havent lurked in 25 pages. Can someone sum up what I've missed? For Content: Just saw Bird Box. It was pretty okay. There were a few really poorly written/acted scenes though. It was one of the best representation of Cosmic Horror I've seen in a while though. About to watch The Night Eats the World while I drink tea with honey and recover from a cold. Gejimayu fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Dec 28, 2018 |

I think my ONLY complaints with Curse of Chucky are it's maybe a few minutes too long and most of the kills were very lame. I liked it a lot overall.

Did Don Mancini say he's not making Chucky movies now? Because people seem to be convinced that the remake means no more real Chucky movies. Mancini is still supposed to be making a final movie and also a TV series. He retains the rights to Chucky, Charles Lee Ray et al.

Origami Dali posted:Wait, so the only thing MGM owns is the Child's Play title and nothing else? How the hell did Mancini pull that off? From the wiki page on the series, it sounds like Child's Play 2 was in production when United Artists was about to be bought by some Australian group of investors who didn't want to produce horror films. So he was then able to shop the movie around with plenty of different interested parties, so they ended up producing it independently and Universal did distribution. So I don't know the specific details but Mancini was in a pretty rare position of having a pretty highly sought after property but free to negotiate for the best possible deal. I imagine that's how he ended up retaining so much of the rights.

I'd say that's probably from generally once there's a remake, there's rarely a continuation of the original franchise. Halloween might be the only franchise that's continued after a remake that I can think of.

Halloween might be the only franchise that's continued after a remake that I can think of. It just depends how serious the main star(s) are about staying retired. Like, they went the reboot route with Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween mostly because they thought Jamie Lee Curtis and Robert Englund were done with the roles(and to a lesser extent Heather Langenkamp I suppose). I'm sure if Englund decided he wanted to have one last hurrah as Freddy we'd see that remake completely discarded and ignored, just like what happened when all of the sudden Jamie Lee expressed interest.

I believe I read that he still plans to make movies and even a TV show that follow his continuity, and that the remake is separate.

Kvlt! posted:wasnt englund just on some lovely sitcom as freddy im pretty sure hell do whatever as long as you pay him There's definitely been a softening in the past few years but for a good while he was pretty adamant that he was happy to pass the torch and hang up the glove. But most of those comments were probably before everyone realized just how much of a disaster the remake would turn out to be. I'm with you though, I never fully bought into the idea that he would never return to the role again. There are ways to shoot around his age, as long as he's willing to spend the time in the makeup chair every morning, which I think was his main motivation for retiring, he was just done with those marathon 20 hour days of getting up at 4am to sit in a makeup chair for 8 hours.

Cult of Chucky rules because it's just totally batshit but never feels like the lame humor Bride and Seed fell into. It's also loving brutal, I'm pretty sure it has by far the most brutal death in the entire series.

Considering how the last Chucky film ended If be surprised if there wasn't a sequel. I mean maybe that's just how he's ending the series but I doubt it.

Cult of Chucky definitely won me over, which is hard to do once I'm not really feeling a movie. At the halfway point I wasn't really very into it but the last act was just so off the wall that it made up for the rest and then some.

Isn’t there some weird rights thing with Chucky that plays into why they’re rebooting it with a different looking doll, or am I totally misremembering?

I looked it up and it seems that the rights to the first movie are separate from the rest of the franchise, so that’s why there are potentially dueling incarnations of the character.

Yeah I think the doll can be named "Chucky" and the movie can be named "Child's Play" but beyond that and the doll's appearance (which they seem to just be shamelessly copying from the original Good Guy) they can't make any other nods to the franchise. I mean, I can't say "any" because I don't know the specifics. Maybe they'll call the AI that operates Chucky "DEMBALLA" or something. e: Give me the upgrade I BEG OF YOU!!

It's a robot. Like nothing supernatural apparently the plot synopsis is that a Chinese worker reprograms the doll with no limitations

Yeah the ending of that movie is quite the loving swerve. edit: Just finished watching The Editor (2014) and I have to say that if you like gory, weird as hell parodies of giallo films and italian horror in general your going to really love it. There are so many blink and you will miss it gags of scenes in so many different Italian films. I think it would be offputting though if you were not a fan of giallo. However it has a lot of gratuitous violence and lots of nudity so uh pretty easy to sit through as horror movies go. It's also FREE to watch on Tubi Tv.

If you're not British or importing from the UK, you can safely assume it's uncut, and I think now it's even uncut there.

Ha, my ma got me this horror movie themed trivial pursuit game and I opened it up thinking the questions would be all softballs, but there's some deep cuts in here. Here's a couple rondo questions from the game. What is the name of the pub that protagonist David Kessler visits at the start of An American Werewolf in London (1981)? this is an easy one Over how many years was Eraserhead (1977) filmed? In Audition (1999), what number is Asami designated in the audition process? Who directed The House on Sorority Row (1983) as well as episodes of Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens?
