While everyone's on a Dead Snow kick, does anyone remember the Italian zombie movie with nazi zombies in the snow?

I remember Zombie Lake (one of the best zombie movies ever), but can't remember the name of this one. I just remember in one of the last scenes tha nazi officer tells his evil plans to the good guys, and it was quite hilarious.

Actually once we get a bit of distance from this type of cinema it will probably seem as charming and campy as any other old horror movie. We'll have retro torture-porn in 20 years!

I hope that Scream 4 is a nice cap on the torture porn genre by being a well done send up of it, and then accidentally revives the torture porn genre as a parade of increasingly terrible tongue-in-cheek torture porn movies, before finally dying off for a few years, then when the time is right Michael Bay remakes Hostel and then there's a torture porn revival with an endless parade of torture porn remakes which aren't half bad.

I guess they could also add some nu-Metal to the soundtrack too. Seeing Crispin Glover dance to Slipknot would be sort of cool.

That's a horrible idea made of suck.

Now that the rights for the songs they couldn't afford in the 80's are dirt cheap, if they were gonna do something like that they should put in the music they wanted and rescore the movies with lots of Men Without Hats and Steve Winwood and Genesis.

You should see Trick or Treat (with Ozzy and Gene Simmons).

In a perfect world, everyone would endlessly post gifs from it rather than Shark Attack 3, as Trick or Treat is infinitely more Shark Attack 3 than Shark Attack 3.

About High Tension It was a 90 minute movie filled with random meaningless killings all tied together by the stupidest plot twist possible: "Zomg split personality!" It's torture porn. However it is one of the classier ones.

60 minutes of great movie, 30 minutes of utter stupidity not fit for the worst of the Saw movies.

Saw and especially Hostel are torture porn.

High Tension is a (goofy) deranged killer slasher, like Wolf Creek or Texas Chainsaw or Urban Legend or any other slasher without a supernatural killer.

As dumb as they are, the slick, self-referential kinda silly Scream clones were much better than the crazed mutant psychos (Wrong Turn et al) and torture porn (Saw, Hostel) trends.

But most importantly, I'm glad The Eye pretty much put an end to the remake-every-semi-popular-Asian-film trend. Because EVERY one of those was complete poo poo.

Pretty soon the remake trend will die too, as they're running out of franchises to remake. After that, what will be the next trend>?

Shark Night 3D is a massive piece of poo poo that covered every cliche, very clumsily. The filmmakers have also apparently never seen sharks before. And if you're going to take the time to animate a shark, and call it a tiger shark, you probably shouldn't draw a nurse shark and make it roar and smile knowingly and call that a tiger shark.

Totally worth seeing. It was just me and my buddies in the theater and we had a blast laughing at flying, roaring sharks that can outrun speedboats.

Also, Final Destination 5 was hilariously entertaining.

Because seriously. That was the best horror movie in a long loving time.

And such an amazing gently caress you/love letter to horror films. It's impossible to watch a cliche slasher now and not think of this movie as every character goes through those motions that elicit "why would you do that?" comments from the audience. It will be a huge challenge to avoid the cliches this movie completely decimated.

What an unbelievable piece of poo poo. The first two are so cinematic and creepy and about Michael Myers.

Then this movie is about a crazy toy maker who steals Stonehenge so he can manufacture robot businessman so he can turn children into piles of bugs and snakes.

And the soundtrack is carnival calliope music.

Binging through all of these series, Jason really is king. Out of 12 movies, there's only one genuinely bad one, Jason Goes to Hell, and even it is kinda goofy and fun.

Freddy had a great first movie, I personally love the very gay second one, the third is really good, 4 and 5 are dull, 6 is silly, new nightmare is painfully bad, and the remake is pretty much the worst movie.

Michael got 2 great starter movies, then it all goes to poo poo and just keeps getting worse. Then we got two hammy but really fun remakes.

Leprechaun is complete poo poo, but it's endlessly entertaining.

Texas Chainsaw was great. 2, withe Dennis Hopper's dueling chainsaws was fun, but very bad. And the first remake was fairly good. The other 4 are all terrible.

Hellraiser was ok, and the sequels are all poo poo.

The Chucky movies were all fun, Bride of Chucky is a masterpiece. Seed of Chucky was ok. Curse of Chucky was garbage until the last 5 minutes.

Well, that's my piece on horror icons. Don't watch the Hellraiser sequels.

On an unrelated note, is there anybody else who actually kind of liked Texas Chainsaw Massacre: TNG? I didn't think it was a good horror movie, but as a really weird comedy (that's not particularly funny) it's actually fairly entertaining. Plus it has Matthew McConnaughey playing his second-biggest maniac (biggest being Killer Joe). McConnaughey really should've played more villains.

It's a legitimately terrible movie and can see why McConaughey and Zellweger tried desperately to stop it from ever being released.

But I love it for how bad it is and watch it every Halloween season.

New Nightmare can be summed up with the scene where Wes Craven calmly and quietly explains the plot of the movie, and they cut to Heather Langenkamp with the stupidest look on her face.

It's a microcosm of the whole movie. Good concept with horrible execution and really bad acting.

My biggest problem with remakes is when they spend far too long establishing a VERY well known mythos (Nightmare, Halloween, and especially the off-topic Spider-man reboot).

If you're telling a WHOLE BRAND SPANKING NEW origin (Batman Begins, Man of Steel), that's fine.

The three remakes most everyone agrees are great are Dawn of the Dead (zombies exist, no time to explain), Friday the 13th (the 1st, second and third movies are established in a 30 second clip, and recreated differently early in the film, respectively), and Texas Chainsaw which tried really hard not to recreate or sully the original.

Rob Zombie's Halloween was also very different from the original, while very respectful, but it was simultaneously too different and too unique to not play to the die hard fans who said boo to remakes and never let up. I love it a lot because it's so different. But I'm in a tiny minority where most horror fans are "purists".

Then there's movies like The Blob, The Thing, and the Tom Savini NOTLD which are infinitely better than their already-good originals.

And apparently there's a remake of Sleepaway Camp but I refuse to watch a remake of absolute cinematic perfection. :colbert:

Tried finding it, too, now that you mentioned it.

Apparently what was a reboot is now a reboot-sequel or something. Either way, the original is a masterpiece, and the two sequels are probably the best camp (haha) films ever made.

I don't think the world is ready for the levels upon levels of irony it would take to remake the original.

Unless they did it so straight-faced that they could pretend a transgendered person merely existing was still more shocking than the literal piles of dead people around them.

As part of my 31 Days of Halloween, tonight I watched The Wicker Man (the original).

It really is the perfect horror film. Instead of 90 minutes of cats jumping out of cupboards and fake suspense and tremolo strings, it's a complete rear end in a top hat being a complete rear end in a top hat to everyone, and then in the last 3 minutes you really feel bad for the guy.

And the fact that the people gave him every opportunity to save himself*, makes it so much more depressing and scary.

*The sacrifice must be a virgin and they throw a horny blond bombshell at him.

*He must be bound by duty to the King and there of free will, and they give him what he wants and he refuses to leave when asked to... etc.

He's curious and stubborn, innate human flaws, and that gets him killed. And it's made even worse by being killed for a superstitious reason you don't believe in. The end effect of being killed in robbery or sacrificed to pagan gods are the same, you're dead. But the pagan sacrifice just seems so much more perverse and evil because it's so alien to your beliefs. It's real terror.

gently caress, I love that movie.


e: and the 90's House on Haunted Hill gets a free pass for being funny and having Geoffrey Rush playing John Waters playing Vincent Price. It's trash that knows it's trash, which was extremely unique for it's rear end-backwards time when every I Know What You Screamed horror movie was so up-it's-own-rear end self important.
