Jedit posted:High Rise is also horror. And here in the UK movie magazines can't stop slobbering over him despite the fact he can make a drug-fuelled riot look boring. (They loved Sightseers too, BTW.) That's really weird, my source of horror hype and news is basically this thread and I don't think I've ever seen him mentioned. If he's really billed that highly then lol because I don't see it. Kvlt! posted:yeah i know other people hate it but for people with motion sickness it really is awesome! I can definitely see how it can be ugly as hell tho What about film with quick cuts or just mindless action scenes, like the fight scenes in Batman Begins where you can't understand what the gently caress is going on. Even that is headache inducing for me, I assume the smoothing wouldn't do much for that.

If he's really billed that highly then lol because I don't see it. I think they really missed an opportunity in those movies with how Batman fights. Like the first two times in Begins (the scene at the docks and the scene where he first takes out some of Scarecrow's guys before getting gassed) were good because the cuts were quick but they shot it like Batman was a xenomorph or a horror movie slasher. With lots of guy is moving around/distracted, gets a glimpse of Batman and then gets dropped with one power move with Batman doing stuff like just slamming a guy's head into a mirror/wall full force or hitting a guy's arm so he shoots himself in the foot. Batman's an agile martial arts master blah blah blah in the comics but it's generally laughable when they try to do that in the movies in the suits/conditions they make. But they actually came up with a style of shooting Batman that worked. Then everything after that we just get the super fast cuts of folks flailing with the  Keysi Fighting Method.A huge mistake because of those quick cuts. They continue to shoot everything in that get the drop on someone fast and then drop them fast way but then make him fight in a way that looks like random flailing with the quick cuts. For all the talk of ~~~THE POWER OF FEEEAR OF WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND~~~ that was so emphasized throughout the movie (and so much so that it gets brought up even in Justice League there's a big THAT'S FEEEAAAR moment) and for how his training went in Batman Begins - One of the first thing Bruce learns is "This is not a dance" and to be efficient - they had a really cool way of having Batman fight that fit that and then....had him not fight that way for the rest of the movies.

For super-quick cut horror like 31 it helps a little bit but not very much.

Just watched New Year New You. It was pretty good, and I’m a big fan of Carley Chaikin. I liked how for the beginning you aren’t sure who you’re supposed to be rooting for in the beginning because of how psycho and jealous the main character is. And I like that in the end the answer is: pretty much no one except Kayla, who’s dead. I really like the dynamic of Danielle as a cult leader type of personality. I didn’t like how they just had to kill the two queer women of color first. I get that the writers wanted to get rid of the main voice of reason so poo poo could go off the rails, but then bringing her girlfriend in just to get killed less than a minute later seemed a little unnecessary.

Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:Huge thanks to whomever recommended that Supercontext podcast. I'm really digging the Lake Mungo episode and it made me interested enough to checkout Nameless which im also pretty happy with. You're welcome  . Glad to recommend Supercontext to more people. They do good work and deserve the recognition for it. One of the guys is in the business of doing horror comics too, which I have been curious about checking out. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I think Nameless is whatever became of Morrison's unmade film script, Sinatoro. I am still not sure what I think of James Gunn suppousedly making a Nameless film. Seems like a weird choice for the material. Did that fall apart?

I feel like I've made an rear end out of u and me, horror thread, I assumed Bloody New Year had been suggested while folks were discussing New Year's Eve horror movies and so didn't take the time to mention how you should all see this utterly batshit 1987 holiday film. But CTRL+F has revealed that it wasn't brought up so that has to change right now: Anyway, BLOODY NEW YEAR, it's not super gory, but it's basically the Pieces of holiday horror movies in that all of the best parts of it are completely out of nowhere things that make zero sense even with the explanation given for why things are happening and it owns because of it. The movie's plot is very much an incoherent mash-up of Shockwaves and The Shining. However the way the group of characters gets to the location is, uh, okay so like it opens up with them all at an amusement park having fun, one of them gets into a situation where a group of local toughs are endangering her life by standing around the teacup carousel ride she's on and spinning the seat to make her turn far faster than normal, driving her into a huge panic. Except that, like, the ride is just going at the same speed as all the others, everyone's acting is very bad here, it rules. Some of her friends and the guy running the ride jump on to help her out and there's this like, teacup carousel tug of war as the ride is just going at its normal speed, then one of the friends smartly shuts the ride off, but then he also keeps it shut down by yanking a part out of it. His other friends immediately act in horror as if the guy just desecrated something sacred, and suddenly the local lowlifes and the guy running the ride TEAM UP to try to chase them to ends of the earth over this carousel part!!!! Smash cut to the friends lost at sea in a sailboat they stole to get away.   This movie has a scene where folks are watching a movie and then out of nowhere a person jumps OUT OF THE MOVIE into the real world and claws at the guy's face once, which instantly kills him. The rest of the characters freak out and bolt out of the room and notice a toy Santa Claus has been wound up and is walking around doing its wind up toy thing, which they find humorous, and then the movie continues. The spoilered bit happening to someone is completely unacknowledged and forgotten about the second the characters leave the room until...he return as a zombie! And then just when the movie reaches a point where you learn what's going on and it seems about to wind down... THE GUY THAT WAS RUNNING THE AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE RETURNS! YESSS!!! These were among the more mundane events in the film so don't miss out. It's a must watch it if you haven't yet, fortunately you can see it on YouTube for free right now!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1TPL4ZqL50 Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Jan 2, 2019 |

I'm not big on gore or (unearned) jump scares, but I like a movie that either sets a mood or ramps up the intensity. Lake Mungo is probably one of my favorite, but I watched Savageland today which was pretty brilliant considering how so much of it was told through still photographs. I finally got around to The Invitation as well and I thought that was just a fantastic film from start to finish. I love the documentary style film so what else should I look for? I've seen Hell House LLC recently too which was just fantastic. I'm pretty late to the party on a lot of these movies so any suggestions would be awesome. Hereditary

Watched Cam last night and thought it was ok, kind of like a long ep of Black Mirror with different accents. Good call not over explaining the villain, I think it would of veered into cheese if they had included a bunch of exposition.

"Listen, we've all had our chance to put our thoughts towards Reiser's vehicle The Tower. Let's table that for now so we can move on to more pressing matters, an important topic that has gone unnoticed. I talk, of course, of Tower of Terror, the made-for-TV film Disney theme park tie-in, starring Steve Gutenberg and up-and-comer Kirsten Dunst, directed by 'Are You Afraid of the Dark' himself, DJ MacHale. I see Diane already has her hand up with a question."

There's several books on VHS art work. I don't think there's like a comprehensive guide but I know there is two or three dedicated to Horror covers of the 80s. I think it was Corman who use to do a poster and title first then the movie.

The Cannon Spider-Man went through a bunch of different scripts (the infamous James Cameron one was actually heavily based on an existing script) and about as many directors too. I'm not confident that any of them actually got to the point where they actually did work though. It seems more likely that they were all just names so Cannon could sell the movie to other markets. This poster has Tobe Hooper listed:

Friday the 13th started as a magazine ad. Sean Cunningham saw Halloween and decided to get in on the action but he was worried the title might already be taken so he bought an ad in a Variety Since they weren't sued they went ahead with the project under the new title. I think the original title was something along the lines of "Long Night in Camp Blood". .
