Just watched the Friday the 13th fan film "Never Hike Alone", and as far as fan films go, it's not too shabby. Some decent shots, some nice suspense. The ending's a bit janky, but all in all, there are worse ways to spend an hour.

There's some good ideas in Ravager. Like if they had expanded Reggie in the nursing home, and had him talking with The Tall Man, who may or may not have been a patient, I think that could have been interesting.

Lurdiak posted:Resolved: The Friday the 13th Remake sucks. Everybody always says the teens in the Ft13 films are annoying, but the remake was the only one, to me, where they intentionally tried to make them as annoying as possible and it just ruins it for me. I just want to turn off the film because they're so annoying. If they'd toned them down just a bit it would have been more palpable.

I remember watching "Without Warning" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111735/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_47 on CBS when it first aired. It's a series of fake news reports about an entire town vanishing, a meteor coming to Earth, and all sorts of strange going ons that might just be aliens. Whole thing seems to be on the Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89u81khMVyc

Coffee And Pie posted:I love the angular mask in Jason X. He’s always getting his mask destroyed, makes sense he’d eventually get a different one. Kane's got an odd shaped head, and they always gave him a large mask to cover it, and at times it seemed almost comical. In P8 it was almost like he was wearing a serving platter on his face. With JX, they finally seem to realize that they needed to sculpt it to fit his shape.

The kill I like in X is the backbreaker he does to the skinny kid. Not for the move itself, but just afterwards, when the body flips over and flops to the floor.

Most of the Hellraiser sequels after 3? 4? were just standard horror scripts with Pinhead shoehorned in as a way to continue to hold on the the rights.

My favorite John Carpenter's stories come from Showtime's Masters of Horror. When the producers got in touch about doing an ep, his wife told them that she wasn't sure he'd do it, since all he does now (2005) is eat fried chicken and play video games. Then when the producers got a hold of Carpenter himself, he had reservations. Those reservations being he wasn't sure he wanted to get up at 6:00am for 10 days.

Kvlt! posted:we literally do nothing but talk about movies where giant psychopaths mindless and viciously butcher people all day but boondock saints is where you people draw a moral line thats really fuckin weird The use of flashbacks was really good, especially the way the narrative brought Defoe's character into the flashbacks as he got closer to catching the brothers. Basebf555 posted:With Boondock Saints I think the reactions to it are more the result of that disparity between the reception it got when it was released vs. what it actually is. It's not clever and it's not well made, and it has a lovely message so why watch it? Look at the comic book movie threads, where people advocate for characters like Batman to murder people.

K. Waste posted:A healthy attitude sadly not taken by most horror/exploitation film directors. Ronny Yu got into a fight with Katherine Isabelle on the set of "Freddy vs Jason", because he wanted her to do a nude scene, and she refused. The fact she had it in her contract that she wouldn't do nudity was the only reason she wasn't fired. (He ended up using a body double)

Ariza posted:What's the last good Hellraiser? I remember watching one (probably a decade or more ago) that I liked, but I can't for the life of me figure out which one it was based on the posters and synopses. Most of them aren't even "Hellraiser" movies; they're just whatever horror script is laying around the office that they then stick Pinhead in for a cameo to hang on to the rights.

Kvlt! posted:idek if this is a hot take or not but as an avid Stephen King reader none of his stories translate well to film, especially IT. I think the kids in IT Chapter 1 were so underdeveloped as characters that you could've cut them all out except Bev and Bill and you wouldn't have lost anything. And that goes for the bullies too. And I didn't care for their version of Pennywise, either. I think they went so over the top with the design trying to make look as creepy as possible, that it backfired and lost any sense of menace. Subtleness is not this director's strong suit, and subtleness is something you really need for something like IT to work.

Pomp posted:Any IT adaptation is better than the book because there isn't an underage gangbang in them No, but the new movie came close by having them swimming around in their underwear, followed by the camera having a long gaze upon a fifteen year old girl laying about in her underwear. That was the creepiest thing about that film, not that clown. I mean, seriously? Was it necessary for them to be in their tighty whiteys and not swimsuits?

The scene in question in IT (if I'm remembering correctly) starts off with them already "stripped down", daring each other to jump. Is there anyone here who would've said "Oh, they should've been in their underwear" if they had been shown wearing swim trunks?

Burkion posted:I think both versions of the Clown are good it just depends on what you want. I've always felt that the more normal something appears, the creepier it can be. Like how the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre looks like someone's home movies compared to the 2003 remake. Everything's shot in such of way to scream "This is a horror movie" that it loses its effectiveness, for me.

Oh god, wait a minute. It's a cycle, like Pennywise. New Kids were in the late 80s, Nsync & Backstreet were in the late 90s. We're overdue for another resurgence of boys bands aren't we? That's what truly terrifying form Pennywise should take. Not a clown, or a werewolf, or a giant black bird, but a boy band.

The Senator Giroux posted:I was doubly disappointed because I was hoping they’d update it and make it Jason Voorhees. Looking up 1980s Warner Bros films (since they released IT), and couldn't really find any iconic horror characters from that time. So IT'd either be a Gremlin, or Large Marge.

STAC Goat posted:I think the core problem with Mike is that his story is basically that he stays behind to guard the thing and thus sacrifices everything while the rest go on to fame and fortune but by splitting the kid and adult parts entirely the movie ends up leaving Mike with absolutely nothing. And yeah, then they go and take away what should eventually be his role and give it to Ben, which just sucks entirely. I hope the rumors about Mike for Part 2 aren't true: that due to his experiences, he becomes a drug addict, and that's how they learn about the history of Pennywise, through his drug induced dreams Tart Kitty posted:If nothing else the projector scene is one of the best horror sequences of the last ten years or so. It was great at first, but again, the director didn't know when to stop, because it became hilarious when the giant Pennywise jumped from the film with his big pointy teeth.
