Space Cadet Omoly posted:The new Invisible Man movie definitely starts better than it finishes, but I still enjoyed and recommend it. Yes, I thought the longer it went on the worse it got but I still enjoyed it overall. You really have no trouble believing that Moss has been in a terribly controlling and abusive relationship, that part was very well done. But I was surprised that she was able to hide the suit, a person that controlling must have known that she had a hiding spot. It is one to watch.

I really like Invisible Man. That's how you do a "remake" of an existing franchise. Also the suit design was pretty bad-rear end.

AKZ posted:I can appreciate what I think they were going for, but holy poo poo was some of the dialogue/acting hack, which I get with the aesthetic. I guess I felt like they leaned in so hard to it that the characters weren't even characters, they just turned into wooden archetypes. If that was the goal of the style it worked. There's definitely something to be said for stock characters in genre films. You get to just yada yada the character building, and go straight into swinging axes into peoples' heads. That said I did appreciate the few moments between the main VFW buddies at the bar, and I wish the "bad guys" were fleshed out a bit more. Maybe put in a quick Battleship Potemkin homage, with an infant crying as the mob rampages past them.

Debbie Does Dagon posted:I was ready to walk into the movie wondering if maybe she really was just paranoid but no, the trailer makes everything pretty plain. I'm sure how terrible trailers are for plot spoilers has been talked about a million times, but apparently I just need to avoid them from now on. I mean, the title of the movie gives that away too, though to be honest I think it would be cool as hell to see The Invisible Man where it all actually is just in your head.

If that sound interesting to you, you should check out Bug. It's not really the same concept, but it has the best exploration of paranoia I've ever seen put to film

Yea that is a good point now that I think about it. It felt like the acting/talent was lopsided to the old guys and the baddies felt really poorly/under acted to me. I'll give it a couple of days and watch it again. I also realized that I'm never funny on a comedy forum. Goddamnit.

i watched the new Color Out of Space with Nicolas Cage last night. Can't believe there's not more buzz around it, I mean it's John Carpenter's first time directing since the Ward!

We’ve been raving about it for like two months! I picked it up on Blu-ray the other day, I don’t usually buy films I’ve already seen when they first come out but it was relatively cheap and I’m gonna want to rewatch it soon.

Laaate to the party but Viy is the most blessed movie I've seen since, Hausu perhaps? An absolute joy to watch, I wonder if young Sam Raimi had seen this one.

Viy is a lot of fun. Absolutely charming. I watched VFW and I liked it but I didn't love it. I'm just going to keep evangelizing Bliss instead.

Hell House is a delightful found footage film, shame the sequels are apparently terrible. My one problem with the movie: they kept saying people "hanged" themselves instead of "hung" themselves. I'm pretty sure that's grammatically incorrect, am I wrong about that? Does anyone still have that list of found footage films people in this thread recommend a while back?

Is the most recent Moorhead and Benson movie ever coming out? I think it screened at festivals like two years ago and never heard anything about it since.

The first sequel to Hell House is pretty good. The second one is kinda balls out crazy but in a good way.

I just want Joe Begos to be able to do whatever the gently caress he wants, honestly. He's like if Rob Zombie and Jason Eisener did the DBZ fusion dance, and I've at least liked everything I've seen from him so far. The Mind's Eye also whips serious rear end, if y'all haven't seen that. It's not even pretending to not just be Scanners + Beyond The Black Rainbow, but it's really good at being that.

There's a very strong case to be made about Joe Begos being Rob Zombie's illegitimate son. That dirty fucker probably has hundreds of bastards spread all over America. Grungy Genghis Khan.

Saw The Invisible Man today, and didn't really like it that much. Great premise, but it just didn't feel like it really clicked with me. Did the director of this one do Upgrade as well? It's got quite a few of those weirdly framed tracking shots where when someone moves up or down or falls over the entire POV follows them.
