There was an issue of Ghost Rider a bunch of years ago where he fought a demon in Japan whose specialty was "flesh sculpting." It chose to manifest itself as an exaggerated anime schoolgirl and it was really disgusting-looking.

Naw, they just made the irises proportionally bigger to make her look less freaky. Total eye size is the same. I went to a screening with Robert Rodriguez in attendance and he talked about it.

They really should just full-on show the doll in a trailer though, I mean they've already shown it in promotional poster mock-ups so there's no need to be coy anymore. e: Spoiler it looks like poo poo. It looks like the doll from that Pinocchio horror movie.

Being a robot is incredibly lame. At least with the animated voodoo angle it's like, "Well what the gently caress do we do to it?" With something you already know is a robot the answer is simple, "Break the drat thing."

On the other hand, if the robot is made of Nokium or Nintendium, this might be an issue. e: at a glance, this actually could be something they use as a hope spot, only to go LOL NOPE when Fake Chucky (Fucky?) turns out to be completely indestructible without, like, putting him through a hydraulic press Terminator-style. electronic toys are usually deliberately built to be a motherfucker to break.

On the other hand, we don't get enough killer robot movies, so if this is a fun one I'll be happy. I actually think you could cover some interesting subtextual ground with regards to stuff like LA Beast and the "Bird Box challenge" with that Hellraiser idea. People deliberately subjecting themselves to horrible, painful and dangerous experiences for no other reason than the approval of others would be an interesting thing to throw Cenobites into.

There's lots of old movies that are fun to watch for zany practical effects that are otherwise not very "good" movies, but when the 90s/00s rolled around and all the cheap movies started using lovely digital effects it made them much less entertaining overall.

This is 100% true, I'll watch the poo poo out of a terrible film if the practical stuff is good. Also, am I crazy or does the chick's dress in your avatar change colors from time to time?

I legit think this is a workable idea if you focus on the angle of people suffering for internet fame and Cenobites feeding off of that. Like, this is something that could be done Barker style and jive with the first two fine, instead of being a lovely DTV Sequel Idea.

Let The Corpses Tan, more like "let the leather squeak" That was a weird fuckin' movie. I'm not 100% sure what I think of it yet. It was unique, for sure, and the cinematography was beautiful. edit-- if you thought Quentin Tarantino let his fetishes bleed over into his films, wait til you get a load of Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani Count Thrashula fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Feb 9, 2019 |

I just got around to seeing Velvet Buzzsaw and really liked it. I'll spoiler stuff just to make sure nothing slips plot-wise. I really really enjoyed Jake Gyllenhaal all the way through, his character fit right in with the world of the movie but was also pretty fun. The whole movie felt like some kind of neo-Lovecraftian story. The whole idea of cursed artwork is something I like, things like The King In Yellow and Cigarette Burns and this fit right in there for me. Something else I appreciate were the contrasts between the artists and the people that seemed to run the art world. Gretchen, Dondon, Josephina and Rhodora seemed to lack any artistic vision of their own and were only obsessed with numbers, metrics, and cold information while having no true appreciation for creativity outside of how they could increase their prestige or bank account. In turn they all attempted to exploit Morf's talents to make up for their own poor taste. It wasn't exactly a masterpiece morality story about how art is for it's own sake but I like what they were going for.

The Hole in the Ground is out now if you have access to DirectTV. Very minor broad plot spoiler: it's another take on the changeling legend in Ireland, like The Hallow. Pretty familiar ground all in all, but there's some good sequences that kept me interested. Jedit posted:I would probably watch a movie where completing Candy Crush Saga level 2000 summoned the Cenobites. The protagonist has to explain to a frustrated Pinhead that she wasn't going to great lengths to taste the extremities of pleasure and pain, she just has a long bus commute.
