Carrie 2 is better than the Carrie remake which tells you how bad the Carrie remake is and Carrie 2 is loving terrible. I just showed you the only good 10 seconds of that entire film. Which brings up the age old question, if horror has that one memorable scene does it make the film worthwhile?

I saw the end the of that one, and it was poo poo trash. I hate bad cynical horror movies more than anything because horror is such a great genre for sincere and honest works, good or bad.

Though I didn't like, DESPISE Carrie 2, it was just wasn't very good. Wasn't there an attempt at a Carrie TV pilot a couple of times too as well as a made for TV movie in like 2009 or something? What a weird property.

Like I mentioned it a couple of days ago, but I rewatched Ghost Ship because it popped up on Netflix, and although it has a stellar and memorable opening sequence the rest of the film is a boring slog with the hilarious exception of when it inexplicably starts blasting Mudvayne right as it hits the credits.

The Prowler's a real middle of the road slasher, but the Jersey vibes make it worth it. Also, the gore is straight-up nasty. Tom Savini flexing so hard he should make a workout tape. Real glad Shudder actually lists what's leaving so I can fill some gaps.

Has anyone ever watched the Shining miniseries? They talked about it briefly on Supercontext and made it sound like it was made exclusively to cater to King’s ego.

Bad cgi aside, yeah, and it sucks. It's hard for Steven Webber to come off as really threatening, TV movies always feel neutered and this is no exception, and the kid who plays Danny has a weird rear end face.

The Shining TV Series is not good. Like its a more direct adaptation of the novel which is what King wanted and it just really falls totally flat. Peformances, special effects, directing. It's just not a good series at all. Kings adaptations almost always work better when they're not as close to the source material especially the 80s novels.

Yeah, if you're someone bothered that Kubrick made his own film then you might get something out of the miniseries since its a more faithful adaption. But its objectively worse than Kubrick's and in general is one of the weakest of those King minis.

I love Spooky Steve, but if memory serves the full title of the miniseries (as is depicted on the DVD cover at least) is Stephen King’s The Shining, with is just lol-levels of petty. The mini is technically closer to the book, but still leaves out some stuff. And it’s pretty hilarious how it’s meant to be a “definitive” adaption, but shot to be broadcast on basic cable, which uh, ain’t the tone of the book.

I saw The Shining mini-series when it aired and it's insanely lame and bad on every level though it is technically more accurate to the book. That was the beginning of the a long range of not very good Stephen King made for TV mini-series (though IIRC The Stand is still alright).

The Stand has a remarkable cast and a lot of great elements but its loooong and doesn't age tremendously well. I still like it but I loved the book as a kid. So its just got a nostalgic thing for me. Storm of the Century is the King mini of that era that I actually really liked and have watched a bunch of times. Its moody and kind of twisted. Its got all the usual King stuff, good and bad. Its a little long and there's more characters than you can care about. But the combination of the claustrophobic and dark blizzard atmosphere and the typical King evil demon/god loving with people and demanding hosed up things works for me. The Shining is bad. Tommy Knockers gets some mileage out of how weird it is, but its bad. Langoliers is one I always forget everything about and then start rewatching and then say "Oh, I remember this, it sucked." I saw Rose Red when it first aired and thought there was stuff I liked but that it never came together. Its probably just a mediocre Haunted House story but I keep meaning to rewatch it. I own Bag of Bones and Kingdom Hospital on King compilation DVDs but have never gotten around to seeing them.

Its got some weird and creepy imagery. Like everyone getting "sucked dry" and falling apart and getting emaciated and pulling teeth out. I just can't remember there being much of a story or good payoff.

Drunkboxer posted:The Tommyknockers scared the poo poo out of me for some reason, when I rewatched it as an adult I couldn’t figure out why. The adaption came out during your primo early-nineties alien pop culture resurgence alongside X-Files, Fire In The Sky, and so on. I think if you were of a certain age, all that poo poo kind of merged together into a tapestry of creepy. Going back to it as an adult, you're just not in that zeigeist anymore, and it all comes off a bit silly. STAC Goat posted:Its got some weird and creepy imagery.

It's just kind of slow and plodding and features a lot of the nadir of Kingisms, between the alcoholic poet and ticking time bomb town element.

It gets a ton of flack, and I know it was during his cocaine phase, but Maximum Overdrive loving rocks. The Mist is probably his best film adaptation aside from The Shining, right? I should go back and finish watching that series.

I love the Mist (film) but like... Carrie, Pet Sematary, Dolores Clairborne, Christine, Misery, Dark Half, Cujo, Needful Things, Creepshow, Needful Things, Night Flyer, It (2017), Graveyard Shift.. ok, i might be stretching now. Point is there's a lot more quality to choose from in the films than the minis. And that's without even going into the non-Horror stuff like Green Mile, Shawshank, and Stand By Me. Carrie for my money is the best King adaption, even over Shining. Pet Sematary wouldn't be that far behind those two. The Mist series is however complete garbage and has absolutely nothing to do with the King story.
