They should have been more subtle because you can see the “Lynch mobs are bad” message pretty much from the beginning, and you sit through the vast majority of the movie waiting for the movie to hit you over the head with it.

I did not like Halloween Kills. On a positive note, I will be watching the new Candyman tonight, looking forward to that.

Thought they kind of blew the ending of both....but the Candyman ending had more to gain/lose in my opinion.....seeing as how it's an origin story rather than just another slasher with a seemingly invincible boogeyman.

halloween kills isnt as good as halloween 2018 or the original halloween and halloween 2 but imo its better than the rest of the sequels and is a pretty good dark comedy even if that probably wasnt the intention. it owns.

I think it was intended, but I didn’t think it was a great movie either. Though I did have a great time seeing it in a theater. Overall I thought it was about as good as 2018 honestly. I can’t really rank the Halloweens honestly, I can only group them into tiers. great: Halloween 78 very good: Season of the Witch pretty good: Halloween 2, Zombieweens 1 and 2, Halloween 18 and Kills, H20 Bad, dumb, and the mask looks stupid: all the rest

I mostly just didn't liked the end. Halloween Kills spoilers Like alright so he's an unlikable demon. That means that entire storyline about the dumbass cop that's guilty he couldn't or didn't kill Michael Myers actually means nothing because he couldn't have anyway because he's invincible.

So the generally accepted North American Horror Director icons are Wes, Romero, Carpenter and Lynch give or take right? Like if you had to distill it down So would the generally accepted four great actors of Horror of that era be Cushing, Lee, Price and Pleasance?

Like if you had to distill it down I think Lee and Price would probably be the most obvious, but after that I think you'd get a lot of different ideas of who the other two should be, especially if you're going to include actresses. I feel like Pleasance is too much about just the one role to really be my choice, similar to someone like Englund who obviously has done other horror work outside of Freddy but not a whole lot of it is memorable. And of course if you're going to throw actresses in there then it gets a lot harder.

Hollismason posted:I don't really consider Lynch a horror movie director if I had to pick 3 it would be Craven , Carpenter, Romero , and if I had to add to that I would say Cronenberg more than Lynch. But the tricky thing is that you have directors like Dante, Friedkin, and Kubrick who aren't horror guys, but made films that have definitely defined a lot about horror. Probably more-so than Craven if I'm being honest. EDIT: Raimi is also someone with not a lot of output but definitely big impact.

We did an entire tournament to answer questions like this and if you filter it down to NA you will recall that it's actually Lynch, Cronenberg, GDT, Craven, and Yuzna.

Carpenter, Craven, and Hooper would probably be my safe 3. After that it probably gets more subjective and polarizing. Romero maybe. Lynch for some with a wider definition of horror. Cronenberg for those into his stuff. Raimi probably for some born at that time. Then you'd get a lot more specific ones. The actors thing... Lee, Cushing, Price, and Pleasance are all great but its all a very specific time period and style. And hell its a bunch of British dudes when the the directors were "North American." And it leaves out women like Jamie Lee Curtis or Barbara Crampton or people known for more specific character roles like Englund or Brad Douriff. Or someone like Bruce Campbell or Jeffrey Combs. And hello Boris Karloff or Lon Chaney Jr? And these kind of debates always kind of favor older people since they've had more time to build up fuller legacies. Like Patrick Wilson is in a bunch of horrors but they're all recent and mostly of one kind/creator. But like 10 or 20 years from now maybe he'll have a more diverse and legendary horror career. Or like someone like Samara Weaving or Ana Taylor Joy could stay in the genre and build a legacy. But right now you basically just have to favor the ones who's careers are already written.

I just watched 4 and 5 last month. I always liked 4 and it’s still pretty decent although yes the mask sucks. 5 is a really bad movie with a really really bad mask BUT! It’s also kinda hilarious because Michael is so weird. He drives a victim back to a gas station so she can grab smokes. He cries. There is a scene where he’s doing his *stalk behind trees* deal like in Kills (“He’s playing hide and seek with us!”) Except he’s blatantly pacing around between 2 or 3 trees not being sneaky at all.

4 owns because Myers should be covered in third degree burns and incapable of walking after being in a coma for ten years but he just gets up and gets a lovely mask and the fire and coma are never mentioned again lmao
