M_Sinistrari posted:I remember the unrated TCM3 being pretty decent with the R rated one being okayish. Even the completely unrated one has things they simply didn't get around to filming when they got early notes from the MPAA about the script. You can also find production stills of stuff that they did shoot but were not in the final film at all, as well, because of the script changes. All of them much more violent and hosed up, which, again, was the entire point of the production at the start. Drunkboxer posted:What’s the deal with the censorship climate in the 80s and early 90s, was it really just Tipper Gore and Reagan? It also coincides with the Video Nasty era in the UK. All I know is it completely destroyed a lot of low to mid budget studios because they suddenly could no longer make something that could get wide distribution and turn a profit.

TCM:TNG just left me with a 'what the hell did I just sit through' feeling, especially with the ending. I’d believe that, at least to some extent. I just want to know about how someone watched the cartoony violence in Evil Dead 2 and slapped it with an X.

Argue posted:Watched Savageland and it's pretty fun. I think I like this format; are there any other horror films in the form of people trying to piece together what happened, while never actually coming across the horrors themselves? No straight-up found footage please, unless it's particularly clever. It's such a drat good movie, it finally does something refreshing with the genre and there isn't anything quite like it. Imagine how by the numbers and dull it would have been if it was just about a guy running through a town at night snapping pictures in real time. gey muckle mowser posted:Butterfly Kisses is like that. Found footage but it’s like a documentary about a guy trying to make a film about some creepy footage he found. More about the character than the horror part. Seyser Koze posted:Lake Mungo is sort of like this (it's a documentary about a family being haunted by the ghost of their daughter and trying to piece together her experiences before her death). I wouldn't really call it a horror movie though, it's more sad than frightening. I wouldn't say these are anything like Savageland and are just straight found footage, you could put Grave Encounters on that list since it's riffing hard on the Ghost Adventures type show and characters but it's still 100% found footage.

That probably connects to the commentary we've all heard about 'How can you watch all that blood and violence? Normal people don't watch that stuff.'. Even though what you see in the Evil Dead 2 and 3 isn't much different than what you see in the old cartoons, probably because it's not a cartoon is what gets the pearl clutching going on.

I'd actually say Lake Mungo is even less of a found-footage movie than Savageland is, since few, if any, of the spooks are apparent to the characters when the footage is filmed and they're only being noticed upon later review.

Thanks for the recs, I'll scope those out; keep em coming if you got em. On my part, I think the closest thing I've seen to Savageland is Ghostwatch, which just straddles the line between normal horror and the kind I want to see more of.

If we’re talking successors to Robocop my vote is Dredd but that’s kind of a grey area (it’s very likely the Judge Dredd comics influenced/inspired Robocop in the first place)

Am I right in assuming there's like no canon between the Conjuring spinoffs? Like its just random references in each film to different Warren cases like Annabelle being in the first Conjuring?

Mid budget movies aren't allowed to do this kinda thing and get distribution anymore, and major studio releases have always been uninterested in it. Smaller genre films used to be able to pile on the crazy gore effects to wow an audience and get them to look past the flaws in their production. I mean sure, Dredd has violence. But it doesn't really compare, does it?

Yeah. When discounting overseas productions, we don't really get gnarly, blood soaked violence anymore. But at least, in Warzone, I got to see Frank Castle cave a meth head's skull in with a punch.

I think Starship Troopers ironically could have been the successor you're looking for, but it's a bit too conservative on the gore and hindered by the CGI blood that is there. I think when you watch that first battle scene, you can definitely see how the whole thing could be a whole battle of Murphys being shot to bits. But stuff like the one soldier who runs away and gets killed ends up looking very Raimi-esque.

Lurdiak posted:It's still an insanely violent film. It’s still pretty violent in its theatrical form yeah but that wasn’t the only scene cut down. Murphy’s Death is way shorter in the theatrical cut as well, Boddiker’s too. If we’re talking horror I actually think we get away with way more now. Just look at how badly all the Friday the 13th movies got hacked up by the MPAA. But with action movies you do definitely have a point.

I'm finishing up The Nightshifter thanks to Shudder and man it's gotten so dull. The story revolves around a guy working in a morgue that can talk to the dead corpses that are brought in. It's interesting and no one else can hear the bodies. He learns about how the victims died from them and the going abouts of the city. Pretty interesting idea, but it shits the bed and becomes a by the numbers haunting film that doesn't do a drat thing interesting or new.

I think it should of kept with him getting information and using it to his benefit but things get out of control and he can't handle it. Rather, he does one thing that leads him to get haunted and that's the rest of the film, just a straight horror film. Hell they could of at had some comedy in there too. Oh well.

I agree that they could've done more with the concept. It did roll pretty fast from the one corpse telling the guy his wife's cheating on him to his arranging the hit on her lover and her getting shot for not keeping quiet. It also threw me off a bit in that unless being dead changes your perception of things, I didn't see why she was also lashing out at her kids with the aggressive haunting.

My co-worker insisted I watch The Basement on Netflix, about a man who is kidnapped and tortured by a serial killer with multiple personality disorder. It's not really great. The directing is bland and poorly planned, the main character is pretty dumb and never really tries to escape his captor, and it's pretty predictable. However, it's strangely compelling, despite it's numerous flaws. It's like a smaller, cheaper The Perfect Host mixed with Split. The whole film is based on gore showcases and the range of the actor who plays the killer who has to try and manage around 13 or 14 personality roles. He doesn't quite land any of them, but he at least tries his best? (And, technically, a detail revealed at the end sort of justifies the bad acting.) It's a weird mess of a movie, in that you'll be frustrated by the lead character's inaction, but then you'll learn something crazy, like the serial killer decapitates his victims with a blow torch. Everything just needs more work. The script is heavy on dialogue. It should have gotten weirder, gorier. There needs to be more suspense. Maybe rework some of the personality types. But overall? Not the worst Netflix B-movie horror I've seen.
