I was super scared of aliens so Close Encounters of the Third Kind messed me up. I had to stop watching after the kid gets abducted and honestly I probably skipped a lot of the earlier stuff too. What really got me was that the mom was terrified but that stupid little moron kid had absolutely no sense of self-preservation and wanted to get abducted and have all his fluids sucked out of his eyeballs. gently caress you aliens!!!1 On a completely different note I love it when a streaming service happens to add some movies you’ve been wanting to rewatch, but not badly enough to spend money on a rental. Final Destination and The Ring are on Netflix! Can’t wait to inject that early 2000’s aesthetic directly into my veins david_a fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Feb 10, 2020 |

Close Encounters is extremely scary in places, playing straight with the horror tropes and framing. The abduction scene in the house is terrifying, and feels like it’s pre-informing a lot of Spielberg’s Poltergeist.

The scariest thing as a kid not from a horror were those bird men things from Beastmaster.

He kind of got two awards for the price of one though didn’t he? He won for writing, directing, and producing, but because he won both best picture and best international picture, he got two awards for producing.

Origami Dali posted:I'd watch slashers as a kid like it was nothing, Carpenter, Craven, Romero's zombie poo poo, Troma, whatever. Horror was always more fascinating than scary to me. But for some drat reason, I was scared to death by these weird rear end disturbing moments in non horror films, like Large Marge and that fuckin cyborg lady from Superman 3. I saw Superman 3 at the cinema, and oh boy was that woman getting turned into a cyborg some terrifying poo poo.

Ma was overall pretty fun but the last 1/3rd was a mess. Really felt like they had nowhere to go with it after the initial premise and just tried to throw a bunch of poo poo at the wall in the hopes that something would stick. And none of it did. They could have cut out her having a daughter and the whole humiliation subplot and the movie would have been better for it.

Also RE: things that horrified you as a kid. I don't know if anyone remembers the episode of Tales from the Crypt with the child Psychologist investigating "Felicity" but that poo poo ruined me and my ability to sleep for what must have been weeks. Also the Shining, but that movie is properly one of the scariest movies ever so I don't feel like it's really that goofy in retrospect. and the loving Gremlin from the Twilight Zone movie.

sephiRoth IRA posted:Finally caught Color Out of Space. Minus the accent choices and even they weren’t so bad, the movie was awesome. I liked the concessions to making a movie regarding what was cut from/added to the story, and the visuals were incredible. I want to see it again in the theater, but we’ll see if I can catch it- it’s gone from my local indie theater in like two days I saw this for the first time last night and really wanted to love it. It did so much right with the visuals and the otherworldliness (I got an Annihilation vibe from it), the slow build up and the Thing-like WTF body horror. I seriously didn't expect them to horrifically mangle the kid like that . I hate myself for saying this, but I felt like Cage was the problem. He was great in that "Nicolas Cage gonna Nicolas Cage" comic way, but he just felt wrong for the film. He was great in some parts, but there were a few "whacky funny crazy" moments that clashed with the tone.

Here's a question: What is a bad horror film that you think with a little work could be amazing? For example, in my mind The Poughkeepsie Tapes has MAJOR issues in pacing and some downright abysmal acting in places, but is a near masterclass in unbearable tension and dread in certain parts. If you cut out a lot of the talking heads and pointless poo poo such as the dude teaching the class who might be one of the worst actors I've ever seen and then tighten up some of the stalking scenes I honestly think you'd get something on par with Blair Witch in terms of found footage.

I seriously didn't expect them to horrifically mangle the kid like that . This was my exact feeling about CooS when I first saw it but I've seen it twice more since then and the Cage performance has grown on me. I think his unhinged performance emphasized how hosed up the experience would be for the kids in particular as things started to go south, but think he should have reigned it in some more in the first half of the film.

It's a good premise but I think you're being too generous to say it could've been good with a little more work. There's really nothing there except the premise, the movie fails to deliver on it in every way possible. 90% of the movie takes place in the most boring living room imaginable because obviously the director just used his own house. For the "climax" they make the big move to the basement where they spent what must've been the entire budget on a smoke machine and some rickety gates. When wasting Barbara Crampton barely makes the top-5 problems with your movie, you're more than a few tweaks away from greatness.

Jeepers Creepers would make an incredibly good short, just cut it off before you actually see the "creature". Maybe allude to it at the end but just leave it vague. God I never went from excited to disappointed in a movie so hard.

Yeah, Beyond the Gates is what happens when you have the kernel of a good idea and then give it to people with absolutely no skill or creativity to make it into something.

It Comes At Night needed to be a little more fleshed out and a little more intense. It was too lean but had some great concept and great performances. I'd love a sequel or another try at it.

The Nightmare on Elm Street would get a big improvement is they didn't wimp out and went all in with the idea that Freddy was innocent when he was murdered by the parents. You could do so much more with that idea.

You could do so much more with that idea. Not really. If he's some kind of actual spirit of vengeance so twisted he wants to make children pay for their parents' crimes he wouldn't be doing bad one liners and spookefying them. The concept only works if he's a sadistic serial killer who turned into a monster.

If you gave me Nightmare on Elm Street I'd make nightmare Freddie a manifestation of the town's paranoia, and not a ghost or vengeful spirit at all. Everyone would think he was, and then the twist would be that the actual Freddie Krueger is, like, alive and in a nursing home or a burn ward or something and never had anything to do with it in the first place. e: recast Freddie but have Robert Englund play the real one

I don’t think vigilante mobs are good or anything but he was a serial child murderer who got off on a technicality and was almost certainly going to kill again.
