Darko posted:I also learned from James that 2 is somehow the lowest grossing? That's pretty much my ordering too except maybe flip 3 and 1. I complained about 3 a lot when I first watched it but I still like it. Also I guess people thought 2 was just a cash in, maybe? Uncle Boogeyman posted:the behind the scenes material on the Final Destination 2 DVD is seriously impressive. Is it stuff on the opening crash sequence? I've only seen it on TV/streaming.

The only bad thing about FD5 is that it almost never shows up in streaming rotation on Netflix or Hulu, even though all the other installments revolve like clockwork.

Yeah, I'd seen a lot of Cushing highlights previously, but I really started diving into the deeper cuts a few months ago and I've yet to see one I didn't love.

In the good ones, deaths are foreshadowed by something else having to do with the characters themselves, and it's kind of fun finding those things.

I've seen 4 and 5 the least, 4 because it's dumb, and 5 for the reason you say. 3 probably the most because it just seems to pop up the most.

Good news! I found the FD2 featurette on YouTube https://youtu.be/cNbWmas3p90 The first ten minutes or so are prologues stuff about death scenes in horror in general, then it gets into the FD2 stuff

Basebf555 posted:Horror fans know when you're using a jump scare properly, which is to say that it should be just one tool in the toolbox that you use when the situation calls for it. People know the difference between when it's used that way and when it's used as a crutch to compensate for a lack ideas or atmosphere.  The rule of thumb for jump scares is to use them early to make the audience expect them during the rest of the film, making the whole experience tense.

I’m not trying to start poo poo but honestly if you think that Eraserhead is irrefutably worthy of discussion but Plan 9 is not that is just a pessimistic and lame way to look at a genre that is limitless. Just because something is made by David Lynch doesn’t mean it’s more analytical than something made by Ed Wood (David Lynch is my favorite director ever) Also confusing cause Eraserhead is pretty straight forward

When jumpscares are good they're great, but when they're bad they're boring which is the worst thing a horror movie can be.

Jedit posted:Horror is the bastard stepchild of the movie industry because it plays to primal emotions which are easily evoked. Yeah, a lot of folks have this association of horror with porn because theoretically neither has to be "good" in order to be effective. It's not fair to horror but I'd grant that it's understandable to a certain point. I think a good example (for me, anyway) is this sequence from The Fourth Kind which I found scary and disturbing... but the tricks it was using were so obvious I didn't feel completely satisfied and even a little cheated. Distorted, booming voices and screams on top of fuzzy VHS footage and static is probably always going to just be inherently creepy to me and at this point I expect professional feature filmmakers to bring a little more to the table to differentiate it from my next-door neighbor's amateur haunted garage each halloween, ya know? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYAbrh7J0ik

Satanic Panic looks like it's trying too hard to be cutesy which is a shame because I'm usually down for class-based horror Tone Deaf looks like it's angling for a weirder take on a basic premise and I dunno if it'll land. But I'd rather watch Robert Patrick wig out with a tomahawk than find out if the pizza girl movie actually has bite. I vote Tone Deaf

I think it's interesting that the style of the movie is so strongly and unironically made in the mold of something from 1930's or 40's for a movie released just a year before the 60's started.

See also Indrid Cold in The Mothman Prophecies and "Simon" in Session 9.
