So I just got back from Happy Death Day 2U and I hate to say it chaps... but it sucks. It also isn't a horror film, it's mostly a comedy with heavy sci-fi elements and a couple horror scenes.

Basically without spoiling much Tree finds herself repeating the same day again after a lengthy intro that introduces us to a cast of science students who are responsible for the time fuckery from the first film, however, it's now "different" it's another dimension and we have a new killer. However, the killer is barely in it and it's mostly about Tree trying to fix the time loop again. There's hardly any deaths and you kinda don't care who the killer is and when it's revealed it's not clever and really "meh." The most clever thing the film does is explain that the blackouts from the first film are due to the science kids, but what doesn't make any sense is in the first film Tree solves everything by killing the murderer (like how Groundhog Day magically ends when he tries being the best person he can be) but this film shows that fixing the time loop is only possible by using the science experiment... so the first film's ending doesn't make sense now.

It's trying to do way too much and loses focus on what made the first film so good. The music also feels like it was for a MCU film and not something that has horror roots. The strangest part is the director and composer are the same from the first film. I enjoyed the film but I went in expecting something completely different and it failed on all fronts.

You're the second person today that I've heard not like it, but I had a blast with it :shobon:

It expands on the first one by having a series of entertaining deaths, restarted loops, etc. while also introducing some fun time fuckery improperly controlled by a group of dumbass college kids.

I don't know what you were expecting from it, because what I expected was more of the first one with a twist and I got that from it!

Saw The Prodigy tonight. I know it's been out for a couple weeks, but I just got around to it.

Goddamn, that movie was way more fun than I was expecting. It was like The Book of Henry if Henry had lived and gone on to become a serial killer.

I was laughing so hard at times in the theater. I had a feeling as soon as I saw the Orion Pictures logo that I was gonna be in for something wild and that's exactly what I got.

It's probably not one of my favorite horror movies in years or anything, but it was still thoroughly entertaining.

So I saw Greta and it was loving wild :lol:

There's a scene in which Chloe Grace Moretz's character is being held captive by Greta (Isabelle Huppert) and Greta's teaching her how to bake cookies, so CGM takes the opportunity and cuts her captor's finger off with a cookie cutter and then hits her in the head with a rolling pin.

When she comes to, Greta locks CGM back in her dungeon type room and proceeds to inject something right into her bloody finger socket to help with the pain, and it's all shown.

Was that movie PG-13? There was no nudity (well, there was some covered nudity), not much swearing and not a lot of bloody violence outside of that spoilered scene, but that doesn't seem like something that could exist in a PG-13 movie hahaha

You can't like just detach and watch or do something else. You're just filled with energy, but not the good kind of energy, that weird kind of energy like when you're tired and you're stretching your limbs because its got a weird uncomfortable tingling thing or something? And you just want to find someone who can empathize or something but you're just bouncing around your house alone in the middle of the night?

Hereditary.

I had these feelings about Hereditary too, so I went and saw it in theaters again!

Us was pretty creepy & felt like a throwback to horror movies of decades past.

Much like in Climax, works that influenced it are displayed on a shelf at the beginning of a movie.

It feels like the kind of horror big studios don't release anymore.

Ultimately I think Get Out was better, but if you're a fan of weird horror, especially from the 80s, you're gonna dig this.

Idk why this trailer isn't on YouTube yet, but I saw the trailer for The Lodge before The Beach Bum a few days ago and it looks loving intense. It's from the directors of Goodnight Mommy, apparently it premiered at Sundance and scared the poo poo out of everyone there, and one of the pull quotes was something like "The next Hereditary", which of course got me stoked as gently caress.

Again, not sure why the trailer's not widely available if it was being shown theatrically. Maybe it was shown too soon? But you should for sure watch that whenever it comes out.

It doesn't seem to have a US release date yet, though.

Anyone else see Pet Sematary yet? Overall I thought it was pretty poor. Felt like a DTV/TV movie rather than a film. I think it kind of fails on both fronts to be a decent adaptation of the novel and as a horror movie since most of the telegraphed scares never seem effective. Lithgow is probably the best part of the movie as most of the scenes with him are the highlights of the movie.

Just saw it. I had only seen the original for the first time this week, so it's not like I had a ton of nostalgia for it. And I didn't think the original was scary. I was laughing hysterically at all the parts that were probably supposed to be scary. So while I didn't like it too much, at least it had the camp factor going for it.

I knew while I was watching it that the remake would strip that out completely in favor of making things serious, because that's pretty much what all recent big budget horror remakes have done. Turns out I was right :smith:

It wasn't scary, but unfortunately it wasn't fun either.

Watched Needful Things, and goddamn, that was a fun rear end movie. 2nd best Stephen King film adaptation behind The Shining.

Do yourself a favor and don't go see the new Pet Sematary in theaters. Don't rewatch the original ether. Just watch Needful Things. It's worth your time.

I saw the new Pet Semetitary last night. It was okay, but any critic calling it "the scariest Steven King movie ever" hasn't seen many Steven King movies. Don't get me wrong, I was entertained and I recommend seeing it, it's just not the "scariest ever", ya know? Also, (I'm not sure this is really a spoiler, but better safe than sorry) they left in that weird Wendigo subplot that doesn't go anywhere that the first one has. I was hoping that they would either take that out or actually do something with it this time.

It suuuuuuuuuuuucked lol

I don't know if it's because I had seen the original a few days earlier and knew what to expect for the most part, but I didn't enjoy any part of the new one.

None of it was scary and none of it was fun.

Several subplots could've been erased and nothing of value would've been lost.

Yeah, that's the thing with Pet Sematary. It isn't trying to give you a momentary scare you can have fun with. It isn't trying to give you something to think about that you could maybe do something with. Its just screaming "You're gonna die and if you're lucky you'll die before the people you love because there's nothing more horrifying than senseless terrible tragedy and the depths grief takes you to."

It does that very well but the older I get the less I ever want to revisit it because "I know."

This idea probably would've stuck with me for the rest of my life had I seen the original as a kid, but I didn't. I just saw it a few days ago, so it had much less of an impact on me.
