So Michael Myers is Jason now, basically? Brad Dourif owns though.

It would be awesome if, instead of the usual Masters of Horror or whatever thing, one year they were just like "Everyone make a Jason movie" and then you ended up with a lot of different directors doing Jason movies and maybe one would be good.

Pillowpants posted:But IMDB places the movie in 1981. I don't know why he would have black and white televisions, rotary phones or things along that nature in the future. Are you sure he didn't just gently caress up the continuity? I doubt he hosed it up, I would imagine he just doesn't give a poo poo.

The reason people don't guess the twist ending in High Tension is that it takes a huge leap of logic to reconcile what you've seen with what the ending tells you actually happened.

I wonder if the mythical "directors cut" of Ho1KC was any better. I think Zombie finally said it was never going to see the light of day because he doesn't feel like dealing with the movie anymore, but I wonder if it made the movie decent.

Cheezymadman posted:The problem with Evil Dead 2 is it doesn't know what it wants to be. The first one was a solid horror flick. Army of Darkness was a solid comedy. Evil Dead 2 tries to sit the fence, and you can't do that with horror and comedy. It's either one or the other, with very few exceptions. I hadn't seen Evil Dead 2 in years and I kind of expected not to like it anymore, but I think I actually like it more now. The parts that it plays as comedy work really well, and as a bonus I still find a lot of the special effects really unnerving and I found myself genuinely creeped out quite a few times.

I want to go back in time and beat up whoever told George Romero that his movies have political/social subtext because then he started doing it on purpose and it sucked

LtKenFrankenstein posted:The whole race issue in Night of the Living Dead may have been accidental, but if you seriously think that movie had no social or political subtext to it, you're being willfully ignorant. I didn't say it wasn't there, I just don't think it was intentional. I have a hard time believing that he knowingly made "Night" as good as it is and then somehow lost any sense of subtlety or style by the time "Dawn" rolled around. Edit: I'm probably being too reductive. Night of the Living Dead is a smart, scary, understated (maybe because of the budget more than anything) movie about zombies and how people trapped together in disaster situations might be just as bad as the zombies. Dawn of the Dead is a kind of doofy, over-the-top take on the same thing with (generally) worse acting. It definitely feels to me like he went, "This is what people seemed to like about my movie, let's ratchet it up and blast everyone in the face with it" RichterIX fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Oct 5, 2010 |

I meant narrative style more than anything else but we can certainly agree that Suspiria owns. I wish I would ever get to see a theatrical release of it.

I really liked Noroi. It's kind of slow but it creeped me the gently caress out. I don't think it has a US DVD release unfortunately.

It's been discussed fairly recently, but as far as the "found footage" movies go, I really loved Noroi. It kind of goes off the rails at a certain point, although I think SMG disagrees with me a little on that point, but the premise (the "found footage" is footage filmed for a SyFy Channel-style "Ghosthunters" TV show) works really well and it has some really scary moments. My problem with found footage movies in general is strangely enough that I hold the actors to a higher standard. I believed that The Blair Witch Project could be found footage (even though I knew it wasn't) because the acting never tipped me off. In the Poughkeepsie Tapes, on the other hand, the acting was constantly shocking me out of the movie. Paranormal Activity's acting is kind of inconsistent but generally convincing, and Cloverfield actually seemed to work pretty well.
