I watched the whole series recently, and yeah, I really think most of them are pretty poo poo outside of the first one, the closest to being an actual film...I thought like, 2, 3, and 5 were all just about equal shlocky stupid films, more or less living and dying based on whether or not they had actually entertaining setpieces. I think this series goes 1 > 2 > 5 > 3 > 4, but I might be higher on 5 (which is definitely bad movie territory) just cuz it's a breath of fresh air after how bad The Final Destination (the fourth one) was. The series reached this nadir with the fourth where it hit new levels (even for the Final Destination series) of barely pretending to have characters, actors who act, a story, actual dialogue, etc but even the kills weren't really that memorable (just throwing CGI meat at the screen). At least the earlier ones had decent openings, that racetrack poo poo was garbage. Can you imagine a series hitting the sort of rock bottom where you're like, drat I miss the charismatic and emotive acting of Ali Larter and Devon Sawa. ALI LARTER AND DEVON SAWA. Really I'd like a return to "trying to make these an actual movie kind of" or at the very least get actors with even an iota of ability/charisma (the cast of the fourth one is really rough, bottom barrel tier), but it's fine to toe the line there as long as you have interesting kills that aren't too Bush era horror cruel (which you got a lot of in like 3), or just don't look like absolute poo poo like a lot of the later CGI.

i always appreciated penismightier’s take that Final Destination was the culmination of the slasher genre, with the killer finally becoming death itself (or something like that)

Right, it's a slasher movie distilled down with anything extraneous like "actually having a villain" removed.XIII posted:I saw the first Final Destination when I was like 11-12 and was sneak-watching any horror movie I could. I distinctly remember it really freaking me out because of how hopeless I felt for all the characters. No matter what they did to try and survive, fate's fate, baby. It ruled. I'm totally with this, I want to see them play it totally straight. Just "all of you hosed with fate and now the concept of destiny itself wants its pound of flesh". Get loving bleak with it.

davidspackage posted:loving love Bautista and this trailer is really good. Can't wait for Shyamalan to put outer space alien dialogue in the mouths of these gaydads and their daughter. Reminds me that Bautista was supposed to be involved in a film adaptation of the comic series Body Bags, and he's the perfect choice to play Mack Delgado/Clownface as that character is basically what you get when you put a Slasher and a Action Movie "Hero" in a blender and get a murderous hate smoothie as the result flashy_mcflash posted:I've thought that for the last few years, even the peak pandemic ones. The output from such a vast variety of creators has been so, so good from big budget stuff all the way down to indie YouTube projects like The Backrooms. Well that certainly is something happyhippy posted:It was poo poo when every 2nd movie made was a ghost girl with black hair covering her face who made stop motion jerk movements. Agreed, especially the overreliance on jump scares which are the cheapest and lowest form of horror aside from maybe using actual footage of people or animals dying

We saw X and really like Ti West but but I feel like maybe barbarian would be better in theaters and pearl would be fine at home? Any recommendations without spoiling much? Just leave the kid some instant noodles and an I-Pad. They'll be fine.

The best death from Final Destination will forever be the tanning bed death from 3. The best is the smash cut from the pair of burning tanning beds to coffins at the funeral. Just, holy poo poo, the black humor of this series when done right is chef's kiss as the kids say.

The Final Destination (#4, IIRC) filmed like half an hour away from me at a country club and the death set there involves one of the main guys getting his insides sucked out by a pool drain  That series is so ridiculous and I love it.

It is a charmingly naive approach, like a child immitating grown-ups in the hope that will help avoiding the inevitable.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Welp! I ignored the warnings that Don't Worry Darling was a bad movie and went to see it anyway. This was a mistake, I should not have done that. It's got a decent amount of tension between Pugh and Pine. For a while I thought the twist was going to be the women Stepfording the men into being capable human beings, but nope. I think they could have gotten more from it without the electroshock flashbacks? Maybe? It just collapsed at the end as they the through the exposition flashback of hubs cranking hog to image boards and weirdo podcasts. That plus Alice braining him to death in a cut away shot was... lazy. much like everything else after that point . Good points: It was nice to see Nick Kroll get run over by a car. And Pugh's ability to goggle uncomprehendingly at her circumstances was very convincing. The audio work was genuinely great at amping up the tension and the stage craft was incredible. All the houses felt real and well lived in. Hard to recommend, but given what I thought it was going to be? 75% decent movie by runtime.
