Some of the situations described in the documentary are extremely harrowing but I think a big budget movie along the lines of Everest would be even more effective. Is that about the guys who got kidnapped by Kyrgistani pirates?

Not at all, but I'll throw it on my To Watch list and will check it out. Sounds horrifying!

Being a pirate in Kyrgyzstan must be a rough job what with it being landlocked and all.

I know pirate is the wrong word, but essentially, "guys who kidnap normal people and hold them for reasonable ransoms then send them on their way as a full time job," which is exactly what the Somali pirates do. Kidnappers? Professional workaday kidnappers? Is that a thing?

some website put up an interview with Richard Stanley about making Color Out Of Space https://www.rue-morgue.com/exclusive-interview-richard-stanley-on-color-out-of-space-and-adapting-and-refuting-h-p-lovecraft/ he also confirms that he's making two more Lovecraft movies, and potentially getting a do-over of Dr Moreau.

I mean that'd be incredible I hope it's not like Tom Arnold periodically saying True Lies 2 is about to begin production in hopes of that making people so excited that it begins production.

I'd say pirate is an appropriate word in a thread that embraces low budget flicks - Landlocked Pirate Movie (because who has money for things like boats or being near water) is a subgenre with plenty of cheap cornball entries.

I watched Ready or Not last night, and I'm not sure what I was expecting to be honest, but I really liked it. I remember seeing the trailer a while back, and thought the movie was gonna play up the dark comedy bits way more, and while they were there at times, they kinda/sorta felt out of place as the general tone often came off as more serious; it never really felt like a natural mixup of the genres, like say, Shaun of the Dead. Still though, the ending was hilariously cathartic and overall I was super entertained. Though from the marketing I was expecting to see Samara Weaving use that nitro express elephant gun to blast some fools, and it turning out to be a display-only model bummed me out hard lol.

Basebf555 posted:For me the absolute perfection of how The Ritual builds the expectation of a creature, and then pays that off, is worth a hundred Hereditarys or Lighthouses. I won't say it's on the level of the T-Rex paddock in Jurassic Park but it's that same type of thing. Maybe not revolutionary but also not easy, moments like that are pretty drat rare in the genre and I can't think of a better one that came along this decade. Throughout most of The Ritual I was expecting to never actually see the monster. I figured it would be a Blair Witch type situation where you see the carnage but never what actually caused it. Which would have been fine by me, a lot of times nothing is scarier than something when it's done right. However, then they actually DID show the monster and goddamn did it blow me away. That is a quality creature design.

Yeah I think there are three parts of the film where she could have shot someone, but whoops wrong ammo/no ammo. I was worried that they were going to keep her as a virginal damsel until the end, so it was definitely very cathartic when she gave Andie MacDowell a facelift with the Lament Configuration. That and the exploding relatives.

Yeah, it rules. I didn't get to see it in theaters, but I'm glad I caught it eventually. It's not the best horror movie from last year, but it's easily the most fun horror movie from 2019 for me. The genre was really bleak last year. (Not that that's a bad thing.)

Speaking of shotgun decapitation, I did not expect The Colour Out of Space to have more in common with Annihilation than anything I've seen recently. It hasn't dethroned The Art of Self Defense as my favourite movie of 2019, but I liked it a lot and I hope it revives Stanley's career.

Iron Crowned posted:I haven't seen that one in a very long time. It's maybe not a great movie overall but still waaaaaaay better than you'd expect it to be given the premise, there's an actual good amount of continuity between the two movies and the effects are awesome. That dog scene.  One really lame thing about it though, like, the effects and makeup overall are great EXCEPT for the titular final creature itself. It's very very cheap looking and it's also very very obvious that whenever they show it walking around you're just seeing someone puppeteering a pair of legs. They tried to evoke Alien with how it's shot and that just makes it even worse like, really guys? If anyone here hasn't seen it It's the movie where at the end the security guard gets acid spat onto his face and is in so much pain he peels his own face off of his skull while screaming. I'd say it's an essential watch for anyone in this thread. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Jan 21, 2020 |

For people not able to find a showing of The Color Out of Space, it'll be on blu ray and VOD in about a month. Probably sooner than that if you want to buy the digital version.

Colour is worth seeing in a theatre though. I wish there were 3D screenings. When I saw it I was a little put off by how cartoonish Cage was, but I think it'd warrant a rewatch.

I watched a Z-grade horror flick called Spaceship Terror a few days ago, it was amateurish in the extreme and it was clear they were far more interested in gross-out effects work than anything involving production, acting or scripting. But some of the kills were really satisfying. It's a very bad movie made seemingly by guys who only ever read Fangoria.

I know everyone wants to be smart and use the proper spelling that Lovecraft used, but Stanley changed it to "Color" for the movie.

gey muckle mowser posted:as far as I'm concerned, Cage can never be too cartoonish I'm 99% in agreement but this was a case where he was legitimately distracting from source material I was interested in. It's a great Cage performance but I wonder if the movie would've had more impact with a more nuanced lead.
