Edit: God dang, Awful app just edited my original post instead of making a new one. Here’s what I said: Haunt: I’m a sucker for good guy revenge so the last 30 seconds really worked for me. The characters are generally likable so it’s pretty tense in spots. Better made than similar movies I’ve seen I liked it. Trick: Terrible. I ended up turning it off after about 10 minutes. The camera work, lighting, effects, shaky cam, etc. We’re all very offputting. I haven’t liked a single movie these two guys of made. MBV, Jason X, drive angry, and this has all been thumbs down from me. - Speaking of good guy revenge, I’ve never been of the opinion that the ending of Devil’s Rejects makes the three sympathetic and that the sheriff is at a same level of cruelty as they are. They’ve tortured, raped, mutilated, and murdered a poo poo ton of people by that point, so when they finally get caught I’m hollering “gently caress ‘em up, Sheriff!” You can’t skin a woman alive and then terrorize her until she’s run over by a dump truck and then be made sympathetic. I’m 1000% against torture in real life, but sometimes it’s cathartic for a character to get revenge. Like Steve Austin beating up Vince McMahon in the hospital or Arnold blowing up a team of bad guys. I rewatched House of a 1000 Corpses on Halloween and it’s interesting how much more bonkers that movie is. Underground robot enhanced mutants, pits of mutants, etc. After rewatching it I realize why Zombie himself feels it’s a disconnected film from the next two that just happens to have the same three characters.

Rewatching Inferno again, like, I still can't believe how pointless that flick feels to me despite all of the rad individual bits in it.

If you have a monster in your drat title you should be legally loving required to have that monster in your movie! Sorry, I'm just still pissed off about this apparently! I had completely forgotten that movie even exists, but now I remember and it makes me angry!

Also the film is based on a true story - or at least a Fortean story - in which he never appeared to the protagonist but did appear to witnesses.

Elm Street 2 is great. It doesn’t make a lot of coherent sense plot wise but it’s a subversive movie. I’d always recommend people watch the first 3 and maybe New Nightmare is they want more. The Never Sleep Again documentary is great too

Iron Crowned posted:In what sense? So the film is touted as a horror comedy, but it really isn't. It's ridiculous but not in any overtly obvious ways uncommon to b movies. It's more of a Strange Horror, because instead of being funny it wraps around to being... Not unnerving, but something close. Strange. There's no air of parody to the film, it all feels genuine in its own way. Luther clucking like a rooster, his weird mannerisms all work together well enough. The mean spirited feel of the movie is also strange and the way they had to film Luther only adds to it. Like say what you will, but the actor they got for the film is really good at what he does, and the fact that he's extremely short means they have to find all kind of creative, weird angles to shoot him from. Watching the film you'd never think he was 5 foot nothing. But it's still not good. A lot of it just drags and you could say the same about most of the scenes as well. If the whole thing was only 40 minutes long it'd probably be a lot more effective. I just don't understand what the intent of the film was and I don't think it really matters. Luther does remain one of the few horror villains to go down after getting shot once though.

I didn't expect that there'd be a new remake of Turning of the Screw. I wonder what angle they'll go with: the ghosts are real or the nanny's really repressed and uptight and hallucinating it all . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqCpR19iBpc

DoctorGonzo posted:i didnt like a new nightmare and i will defend freddy´s dead I’ll co-sign. New Nightmare is pretty boring and the redesign is lame while Freddy’s Dead is very pulpy and has some great goofy gags and gimmicks, it’s a rowdy rear end William Castle homage. Plus the end credits song is a loving jam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua3_ms8r1QE

That's weird because Flanagan is also doing that story for the second season of The Haunting of Hill House. Also I look forward to when that Stranger Things kid decides he doesn't want to be type cast in horror movies.

New Nightmare spends so much time bitching off about tulpas or whatever, and then the third act is just a regular-rear end Nightmare On Elm Street movie, and that suuuuuuucks.

Timeless Appeal posted:I think 1-3-New Nightmare form a pretty cohesive trilogy. Agreed. Since I've done Chucky, Jason, and Michael the last year+ I should really rewatch the Nightmare movies. I always thought it was the strongest one since even when they get bad they get weird and Englund is at his most scene chewing levels. I feel like Freddy vs Jason is the only one I really don't like, but its been too long to really be able to be sure about that.

OpenSourceBurger posted:Despite its failings I will still contend Scary Stories is a fantastic intro to horror movie for kids. I probably would have liked it as a kid. The whole thing is just so weird. I don't know why they went with this narrative that has nothing to do with the books and let it eat up 75% of the screen time, while ignoring half of the stories. Would have made way more sense as an anthology. I don't know why they geared it at teens so much when it's based on a book for children that is mostly beloved by people in their mid 30's. It's in this weird zone where it's probably too graphic for children, but too dumb for the adults who read it as children.

I watched Nightmare on Elm Street 2 last year and I walked away thinking it was a deeply homophobic film. The hero's repressed gay urges result in death and suffering. Freddy's disappearance coincides with the disappearance of his gay urges, and he even gets to hook up with his cheerleader girlfriend at the end of the film to really drive it home. I mean, did I miss something? It feels like a very conservative "pray the gay away" narrative.

I think at this point the writer admits he wrote a lot of repressed homosexual subtext but most of the cast and crew say they had no idea. Then there's some drama where the actor was upset because he was closeted and thinks the filmmakers were kind of pseudo outing him or something. I'm not really sure. It all seems messy but most seem to agree the themes are there. I don't know if most agree its homophobic or "pray the gay away". I'm not sure its really that neat or focused as a message. To me it tends to feel more like a general idea than an actual point. But there's a lot out there on the subject.
