Blast Fantasto posted:Exorcist III is definitely undergoing a big re-evaluation now. It’s not dissimilar to Halloween 3, with a generation of folks coming to the consensus of “hey, just because this is different doesn’t mean it’s bad” I think Exorcist 3 suffers a lot from Exorcist 2 and both bad Exorcist prequels existing. "Oh that modern one is poo poo, and the second one sucks, but you should watch the third one!" isn't gonna sway a lot of people.

The new 47 Meters Down is a fun shark slasher at times but there's not enough of that to really make it worth watching.

Amazingly he wrote Legion as a screenplay originally like not long after Exorcist 1 was out, but Friedkin was doing other stuff and Exorcist 2 was happening instead so he turned it into a novel. Then Exorcist 2 happened and they went back to him years later of course after that so he then turned the novel back into a script. But they also wanted to have Exorcist in the name against Blatty's wishes who was adamant it be called Legion like it was titled especially because who the hell would want to see it after Exorcist 2? Then like they pushed to have the exorcism scene shot like a chicken and egg thing of like whelp the movie technically has an exorcism in it now so....and then like a few weeks after it came out they called him and were like huh weird I guess people didn't see it because of Exorcist 2 so weird

My wife just got home and I gave her a rambling, 15 minute long summary of Human Lanterns and I don't think she believes me. Edit: I was gonna finally watch Hereditary because I like John Cusack and I heard it's a good movie and...that isn't John Cusack on the cover for the movie. I've been seeing that cover on Prime forever and thinking, "good for you John". God drat I'm dumb. Untrustable fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Aug 17, 2019 |

Anyone know if Shudder works over VPN? (I'm using Nord) After a lot of browsing, I think it's safe to say I've exhausted Netflix's catalog of English language supernatural horror films in both America and my region, so I need to find other ways to get my fix.

Exorcist 2 is good. There would be no bad Exorcist movies if not for the whole Renny Harlin debacle.

I couldn't believe how bad the Renny Harlin movie was. Dominion isn't incredible but I liked it fine and it's noticeably better overall. It's a shame that its eventual release was lower budget so it didn't have the Vittorio Storaro's full impact on the look of it though. Exorcist: The Beginning is dogshit but it at least looks really nice at some points. The TV series is absolutely excellent though so I'd say this is still a pretty high quality franchise or whatever overall though so it's worth seeing everything.

I've never seen any of the Exorcist sequels (besides the show, which was great) and I really want to watch them tonight now. I'm trying to pace my horror watching for the next few weeks so I don't burn out in October. Have a big challenge plan and don't want to hurt that.

I'm interested to see your reactions due to how the show imo really captured the "voice" of elements from all of the movies in some obvious homage ways but also in cooler small ways that added to it imo even without knowledge of the movies. I'm so sad it was cancelled.

I just checked my app and it’s still there. I’ve had the icon disappear before too, restarting the Chromecast and my phone fixed it (also in other apps, I think it’s a Chromecast problem and not specific to Shudder)

So I apologize for making someone's personal problems public like this, but old school goon, cancer rear end-kicker and Horror Discord regular Timby is facing eviction in the coming week if he doesn't get 915 US dollars. The discord's been very generous and has already raised over half the money he needs, but I figure some of y'all who only post on this dead comedy forum might want to contribute as well. His paypal is tbrechlin "at" G-mail. Do let me know if you donate so I can update the gaudy donation meter. Even 5 bucks can make a difference. If you're just broke and can't help at all, don't feel bad, the point is to prevent misery here, not spread it around.

I'm watching the movie The Visit, about halfway through so far. So far the movie's doing alright but man the dialogue exchanges between the kids are really dragging me out of the experience, christ almighty. The younger youtube rapper (?) boy is trying to bust out jokes every other scene like he's shooting for a tight five stand up set while the older documentary girl has the astute foresight of a woman in her late twenties. Also she is not going to be a loving camera tech wiz and film prodigy at her age, are you kidding me. They really should have worked out the script a bit more for these parts cause teens do not talk like this.

I haven't seen all his films but I will agree with the others that some of them are at least interesting failures. It's not like James Wan where I literally forget the movie as I'm watching it, some Shyamalan things stick with me, whether it's dialogue, scenes or just a weird shot. Even when it sticks with me in a bad way like some of Mel Gibson's acting in Signs, it's at least kinda interesting. Also:  E:

Adlai Stevenson posted:M Night has more hits than misses The Village is trash not because of its "what a twist!" ending (though that doesn't help) but because the central romance is loving awful and makes no sense, and the characters are written terribly. As a movie, even if there was no twist and it was just "there's another 1700s town over there with medicine" it's a bad movie.

Least Favorite: 47 Meter Down. Boring and annoying. Teased as a shark movie but sharks barely show up and when they do it’s retconned immediately. Favorite: Mandy/US though I admit there could be a ton of recency bias going on. TheBizzness fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Aug 18, 2019 |

I bought into the central premise of the adults being damaged nincompoops who learned all the wrong lessons from their individual traumas At our screening, based on the noises the crowd was making, I'm pretty sure my sister and I were the only people in the room that liked it
