Sorry if this has been discussed before, but is there anything in the new The Invisible Man that explicitly rules out the possibility that it's part of the Dark Universe Cinematic Universe?

Apparently Elizabeth Banks's Invisible Woman project is entirely unconnected to this one?

Explicitly? Well. The Invisible Man dies, so that rules out a lot of possibilities. Two possibilities remain: Celia has an invisible suit and could Ms. 45 around with invisibility, but that doesn't make sense for the character; and we only see two suits. They could be Adrienne's own suits. He may have already sold some to the highest bidders. That said, Blumhouse is already working on a self-contained Dracula film. Universal's just giving Blumhouse all of their monster properties for self-contained stories. The smarter move, really.

They should split the Universals into three and give a third to Blum, a third to A24, and a third to Spectrevision.

For anyone who is stuck inside and wants to binge some horror movies, Shudder has a 30-day free trial right now. I think their normal trial is only 7 days. https://twitter.com/Shudder/status/1239250680503730176?s=20

That's why even the subs look like poo poo thanks. took a little getting used to but it worked in the film's favor overall, although in a couple scenes I couldn't tell what was happening at all (like the tinfoil guy's apartment). awesome film though!

Kvlt! posted:Imagine being stuck at home with access to literally almost every movie ever made and you watch a Blumhouse movie LMAO the whole thing with Blumhouse is that they poo poo out a bajillion movies a year, with no regard for quality beyond "has someone vaguely marketable involved" and "can be made for 15ish million." the result of this is that a lot of their movies are just absolute piles of crap, but they occasionally produce a legit gem and don't gently caress with it. the Purge movies are great past the original, Upgrade loving whips rear end, they're responsible for both of Jordan Peele's big movies, and while I'm not huge on the Conjuring/Insidious movies they're solidly fine. but then for every one of those they make ten mediocre movies that everyone forgets about within five minutes, and a couple real stinkers like The Hunt. so really, there's nothing inherently wrong with Blumhouse, any more than there's anything inherently wrong with Roger Corman or Troma. you just, like with those producers, have to be kind of judicious about what you watch from them, and if it looks bad, assume it is.

Hey maybe no one told you this, but this is a thread for people that actually enjoy and engage horror films. Most of us hang our cynicism at the thread's door so we can chill and enjoy stuff. We only let Kvlt! run amock because he's a literal child and he needs the exercise.

Plenty of talented folks have worked with Blumhouse and made great movies. And yes, they've also pushed out a lot of drek. They're a studio, that's what they do. No one complains about Universal because Jurassic World was awful.

The only thing you need to know about Charles Band is that he loving loves dolls and puppets. Or maybe it's loves loving. Either way at least 50 percent of his films and I ave no facts to base this on feature a puppet or a doll.

Full Moon also didn't actually make that one, to be fair. e: additionally, while the Puppet Master movies that deal with Nazis are often bad they're pretty solidly anti-Nazi. This is a large chunk of why Littlest Reich made people so mad, actually.

Someone looked at the state of the world and said "sure, Nazis are always the bad guys but what if we mix that up?" And then a bunch of people gave them money to make it, participated in it and made it possible, and then distributed and advertised it. Why Thomas Lennon? Why do I have to see you this way now?

Thomas Lennon's a good human, and has talked before about how he basically has to take every role he gets offered so he can both be an actor as his main job and, y'know, pay for rent and food. It's also entirely possible he just got his sides and not the whole script, in which case you can reasonably assume he had no clue what he was getting into.

Even if he had the script, I can imagine it not reading as pro-nazi. The way the kills were shot and presented is what makes it clear that this is for people who get off on seeing minorities gruesomely murdered

I'm not saying Thomas Lennon is a nazi or anything. And to be clear, I haven't seen the movie and have no taste to. I take if for your guys' word and the little I know that its pro-Nazi and gross. I didn't mean to call him out like he has some special responsibility or Naziness. He was just the name I recognized and I thought it illustrated how like it sounds real hosed up that movie got made by a bunch of people and liked by a bunch more. I'm sure he's just a dude who made a choice about a job to take and I may not like that choice and it may be in the back of my mind next time I see him in something, but it doesn't make him a Nazi by default or anything.
