Leatherface 2017 should be limited to the dead meat kill count. In the background while you’re cleaning your toilet or something. It’s a real bad movie.

Darko posted:Shelly was annoying, but the guy at the beginning of Part 5 made him retroactively better because you could then say "at least it's not that guy." Reminds me of Franklin(?) from TCM, except you kind of/want to feel bad for him as a fifth wheel, but god it's a relief by the time leatherface dispatches him....

Yeah, Franklin is smack dab in the middle of Shelly and Roy's son. He's annoying as hell, but almooooooost sympathetic. edit: When it comes to annoying characters in a TCM movie, I find P4 Leatherface even more annoying than Franklin.

I wanted to like The Ranger more. There's a lot of good goo filling up the runtime but it does a really poor job connecting its ideas.

Man, I was really expecting The Autopsy Of Jane Doe to be a stinker but I really really enjoyed it. No spoilers, but it went in directions I really wasn't expecting, and I always love watching Brian Cox and Roose Bolton and that kid from Into the Wild.

Shrecknet posted:Here's my opinion of Autopsy of Jane Doe, charted: Same, honestly. The movie really pulls you in with its core mystery just to push you back out with a lot of unnecessary running around. It's like they were afraid to just make a spooky autopsy mystery in a morgue and shoved in a "gettin' chased by the spooks!" scene every twenty minutes. And every time the scene just kinda resolves itself with no real action on the part of the characters. By the end of the movie I just didn't care anymore.

Roose Bolton needs to be in more horror movies. He’s a really good actor and also has a phenomenal speaking voice.

I couldn’t even think of those three, but I haven’t seen Addiction or Midsommer yet. I forgot that Helen was a grad student in Candyman though. I’m guessing there’s quite a few other “I’m researching spooky stuff for my thesis!” movies that I’m forgetting, since that’s a pretty easy way to set up a monomaniacal quest for the protagonist.

There was some right wing horror film about the dangers of feminism from a few years ago, and it was about a grad student. It's just called "Women's Studies", and looks like a Len Kabasinski flick, lol.

Neo Rasa posted:Wasn't the one after the 2003 remake (The Beginning?) supposed to be decent? I can't remember at all either. No. The remake is "ok" - it's at least better than 3 and 4 and anything that came after and looks pretty good. The remake prequel is severely, severely hampered by being a prequel and dooming the protagonists due to that *while* still being pretty much a retread of the remake as-is. I mean, there are some ok scenes, and they bother to make them cannibals, unlike the remake, but the movie as a whole feels like a pointless endeavor.

I also tend to completely agree with him in general in taste; the only real disagreement I have had is that he likes Unfriended and I can't stand either of them. Also does a lot of research for each review; I think he goes on IMDB and cross references EVERYTHING before doing one

Crawl is pretty okay; it's basically a better The Shallows. It made me realize how much I really miss animals/monsters eating people movies that aren't SyFy crap - we would get one around every year in the 80s, then it dropped off in the 90s.

The all a dream ending is also stupid and completely pointless. When everybody who interacts with a corpse dies, people are going to notice pretty quickly.

Saw Crawl last night and really liked it. Very suspenseful, great gore, funny at times. Also gets to the point quickly and doesn’t drag. The dog lives, which I appreciate greatly

I honestly liked Annabelle Comes Home more than Crawl, but I like that both just got down to business.COOL CORN posted:I just finished I'm Just loving With You and... Hoo boy. It was fun I guess but definitely not a good movie by any stretch. Like a poor man's twilight zone or black mirror. Great title though, of course.

I'm watching Riverdale Season 3 which made me happy when they gave a shoutout to As Above, So Below. But then came the episode where they started paying homage to Scream... and then started paying homage to Halloween... but then started to really pay homage to Scream with Skeet Ulrich and the smile on my face was loving huge.

david_a posted:So exactly what type of show is Riverdale? I thought it was a CW teen melodrama but then I hear it’s got some Twin Peaks elements and now this stuff. Are there supernatural shenanigans? Do a lot of people get killed? Yeah. It’s one of those shows that I wrote off as soon as it came out but everyone seems to love it and sell it with these weird awesome analogies.

Riverdale isn't horror per se, but Season 1gets gothic as gently caress and there's certainly significant horror/thriller DNA in it. It's semi-satirical melodrama dressed in genre trappings.

Riverdale is completely maudlin and over-the-top teen melodrama trash, played completely and utterly straight. Watch the pilot and you'll see what I mean - it's impossibly earnest about the most ridiculous poo poo.
