Apt Pupil. I forgot Apt Pupil. And I can never decide if that's horror or not. And what's the sci-fi one with Arnold? I'm blanking. edit: Running Man. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Jan 20, 2019 |

Neo Rasa posted:Speaking of King and TV is Castle Rock good? As someone with very little King reading done, I can also confirm it's fine. There's one episode in particular that is pretty close to a Masterpiece (which, isn't surprising given that it's almost entirely Sissy Spacek), and the rest of it is definitely competent, but otherwise it's pretty decidedly just fine. Melanie Lynskey is a loving treasure though and I massively hope she keeps getting roles in horror media because she's way, way too good.

Friends Are Evil posted: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. Where do they list that? I can't find it.

Castle Rock is good, but could have been condensed. The ending also really falters.

I had a little sister and a single mother and was 11 when Ever After came out. My family watched it a lot. I still have... Strong feelings towards Melanie Lynskey. And yes, she's pretty good in this and even better in I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore.

Coffee And Pie posted:I would piss my pants if I got to see Dawn in a theater. I’m seriously considering a trip to Pittsburgh just to visit the mall, in fact. The mall actually used to have a store dedicated to Zombies and Dawn of the Dead it was kind of a mini museum. However as it is now the mall has been completely pretty much renovated to the point you wouldn't recognize it all other than going to some place that Dawn of the Dead was filmed at. A better cooler choice would be to visit the house where Martin was filmed at. 215 5th Street, Braddock, Pennsylvania, USA I think the house is still there.

I don't know how they managed it, but for anything else to beat it out of the bottom of the barrel spot would need concentrate focused effort. I just don't see the point in even considering it a King adaption. Like even if you like it it just has nothing at all to do with King's story except that a mist exists. But even the basic nature of the mist is something else entirely. There's a couple of dozen ideas clumsily thrown together in the Mist series, some good and some bad, but none of them came from King.

And yeah I'm bummed out about the little mini museum going away, it was neat! I guess it wasn't driving that much money to maintain rent and its now an arcade/zombie laser tag thing. There is a bust of Romero now around where that museum is.

I can understand why the Santo character wouldn't be used again, but they need to like, get the guy who plays Mil Muertes on Lucha Underground or someone and make more pro wrestler+his buddies vs. every fuckin' monster/villain ever movies again.

Inversely though, I did really like (BIG SPOILER] the twist towards the end that there really isn't a Pennywise like devil who is making the town rotten, just American fear of the unknown was cool. The final note of questioning of The Kid really didn't add anything for me.

So i was thinking of watching The Standoff at Sparrow Creek because it got a lot of festival buzz. Before renting it I read the description After a shooting at a police funeral, a recluse ex-cop and members of his militia must interrogate one another to find the rogue gunmen before copycat attacks start a nationwide war between cops and citizen vigilantes. As suspicions mount within the group, the militiamen find their trust — and their tempers— stretched to capacity in this high-intensity mystery-thriller. That gave me a bit of pause, and then I looked and saw it's the same company behind Puppet Master: Littlest Reich, Brawl in Cell Block 99, and Dragged Across Concrete. So...at this point it's not just a coincidence, right?

As far as post-Scream slasher wannabes go, Valentine ain't terrible. It's got some good kills. Surprised it didn't spawn a dtv franchise.

It was on Shudder and Amazon Prime and Netflix all at one point. Now it's a paid rental only. I hosted a Spooky Night over the weekend and showed Ginger Snaps to my group. All the dead dogs in the first act made them hesitant, but they loved it. Everyone was really grossed out by Ginger's tail, which was an awesome surprise, because that's never really bothered me. Except for when she tries to cut it off. I love that movie so much. It frustrates me that Emily Perkins and Katherine Isabelle haven't had more illustrious careers. Especially Perkins. She's great in everything. The crowd favorite--surprise surprise--was Mimi Rogers as the clueless mom. I wish we got more closure with her character, since we last see her stuck at the party, looking for her daughters. They've been recommended to me quite a bit over the years, so I'm finally going to watch the sequels sometime.
