Detective Hoffman is better than Jigsaw imo But yea, the best slasher design in recent memory is still Ghostface, there really haven't been any other iconic ones since that are on the same level. Saw was popular but not Scream popular.

ruddiger posted:I wonder what the count is for Scream rip-offs compared to Saw rip-offs. Depends. Would you gonna consider every movie in the "torture porn" era a Saw rip-off? Because I'm not really sure that's accurate. And with Scream, some people would probably give it credit for the idea of putting young popular 90's actors in a slasher movie and lump all the others that do that together as rip-offs, but that's probably not fair either. The meta aspect of Scream is what made it feel fresh and interesting, and while there were still imitators I'd call it more of a general horror boom that happened as a result of Screams overall popularity, not specific attempts to reproduce that same exact formula.

I'd even say Halloween H20 tried to get on that wave as far as the look and presentation.

H20 even cites Scream within the film by having a scene where somebody watches Scream 2 on TV, which means that Halloween is somehow also a film series within the world of H20.

H20 has a scene where characters watch Scream 2, which is a sequel to a film where characters watch Halloween on video, which later produced an out-of-canon sequel in Season Of The Witch where Tom Atkins sees a commercial for Halloween on tv at a bar. So Scream takes place in the same universe where a bunch of kids died on Halloween when their masks turned their heads into bugs and snakes.

s.i.r.e. posted:So I just got back from Happy Death Day 2U and I hate to say it chaps... but it sucks. It also isn't a horror film, it's mostly a comedy with heavy sci-fi elements and a couple horror scenes. I see where you're coming from. But I thought that she didn't fix it so much as simply didn't die. Which would suggest that if she lived until she was 80 and had a heart attack she'd wake back up in 2017. Unless I forgot that it had a Groundhog Day "until you sleep" clause. Also, I thought they were doing Robert Zemeckis music, which made sense given how BTTF it explicitly got. But you're absolutely right that it's a sci-fi comedy genre shift. Even she forgets about the killer midway though. I enjoyed it like you did once I understood the genre but after the opening, I was hoping it would enter a very trippy realm of many versions of many characters. Whatever mechanism allowed for two of the same person was immediately forgotten. Edit: was anyone else angry when she said she'd died 11 times? I figured it had to be 10x that much in the first one.

Here's a weird thing I noticed while rewatching Jason Goes To Hell on Netflix: during the opening sequence (which still rules), when the FBI is lighting Jason up he actually like, screams. He reacts to being shot and blown up with sounds of pain. That's like the only time he does that post-Jason Lives resurrection, right?

He's made growls and animalistic sounds in the movies after Jason Lives. In part 7 when his mask comes off and I think also when he was set on fire.

Neo Rasa posted:Just want to reiterate that this show absolutely rules. It looks great, has cool characters and it's really well written too as a total evisceration of the economic distance between classes and how much people exploit that. Zombie stuff as social commentary isn't a new thing but the way the show plays with and makes noticeable the differing scopes of the various towns and palaces and cities folks travel to and weaves that into its themes about social decay and such is really cool. But even without any of that it's just cool as hell and wicked funny at times too. Thirding this, Kingdom owns. Looking forward to the next season, whenever that happens.

Hrmm I don't think this checks out. I think you have it backwards. Season of Witch has a advertisement for the fictional movie Halloween and Scream the characters also watch Halloween. Scream - Halloween is a movie Season of the Witch - Halloween is a movie H20 - Scream 2 is a movie which means that Halloween is a movie.

In H20 Scream 2 is a movie. In Scream, Halloween is a movie. That movie-in-a-movie features the same shots, characters, and filmmaking shown in the movie shown on the commercial in the bar in Season Of The Witch. So if H20 is "true," that would mean that on some level Scream and Season Of The Witch have to exist on a base reality where Halloween is a fictional movie. Perhaps "based on a true story." Ergo, we exist in the Scream/Season Of The Witch universe. Ergo ergo we exist in a universe where Halloween is based on a true story. It is now canon that all horror movies are documentaries.

Nah because Season of the Witch is completely unrelated to the Halloween series and it only says that Halloween was a movie. This is the same problem people come up with when they try and tie every TV series together. Season of the Witch and Scream are both two seperate realities where Halloween is fictional not the same fictional reality where Halloween is fictional.

I’m sure I’m super late to the party but I watched The Autopsy of Jane Doe tonight and it was a very effective and unsettling little horror story. I now understand why this director was tapped for Scary Stories. It’s on Netflix and totally worth a watch!

Killed any interest in that autopsy possession movie that was released in theaters a few months ago. We that any good? Jane Doe was so good I didn't think I'd be able to watch it without constant comparison.

back on Saw chat: Saw 1 is legit an interesting stylised movie that does a unique sort of puzzle-box movie. the nu-metal sounds are a bit much but you get Cary Elwes and Danny Glover chewin big scenery. it's worth seeing just cuz it launched a somewhat insane franchise. Saw 2, 3 and 4 are all pretttttty forgettable but honestly Saw 5 and 6 are so bonkers and funny and ridiculous, while committing so hard to the template and canon developed over the series, that i really have a soft spot for them. Hoffman is the superior Jigsaw. the traps keep turning into The Incredible Machine of murder.
