Terrifier 4 will be directed by Bela Tarr and feature a scene of rigor mortis setting in the corpse of one of Arts victims in uncut real time.

It's pretty dope.
When Evil Lurks is brutal. It doesn't have the comedy that was splashed around in Terrified and is super depressing. Would recommend.

I wasn't a huge fan of either film but I did think they were fun and brutal in bits, some nice ideas...I did actually appreciate how self-serious and dour When Evil Lurks was.

Lords of Salem was great incidentally, I'm glad the thread love for it convinced me to get past my distaste for Rob Zombie (which mostly just stems from me finding The Devil's Rejects incredibly loving lame and obnoxious). Lotta fun but more than anything I loved the cast (I mean, except for the terrifyingly-dreadlocked lead, not sure how she got the part). I had no idea that was Meg Foster from They Live, she just about drat near steals the whole show with her cackling antics but all the witches are great. Judy Geeson, Patricia Quinn, Dee Wallace...
I also appreciated that the film is mostly just this incredible build up and then just like, 10 minutes of batshit insanity.. Some compelling images, some not, but enough of it worked.

It’s fine. Not really my thing, but pretty well done. Really great cast. Some great kills. Solid B, maybe a B+.

Every single time I change strings on my instrument, I think God it would suck if one of these snapped like in The Haunting and got me right in the eye. And that’s a big accomplishment in itself ; I have to change those fuckers almost every other week.

The Haunting and House On Haunted Hill were both awesome sister movies especially if you were like 14 years old

According to the internet, the idea was that it would be about Jay and Paul trying to trace down the chain to see if they can find anyone who knows more about the monster. Which would be different but could be good in a red string and newspaper clippings on the wall, Mark Ruffalo holding a document saying "They knew! They knew the whole time and they lied about it!" kind of way

That would suck, the ending is deliberately ambigious and you can leave it thinking that they are still being followed.

House on Haunted Hill. Geoffrey Rush was a lot of fun in that (as he is in everything he's in). And yeah they were a fun pair of films to watch as a kid, I remember the camcorder scene in Haunted Hill scaring the poo poo out of me.

Or not kill or hurt even one single woman. Show that Art has a notebook where he ticks off things he wants to do to men and to women, and the women list is all done. Now it's 3 hours of killing guys by tying their ding dongs to a handle in a revolving door that goes really fast.

The Haunting (1999) is a land of contrasts, and like others here I first watched it when I was 12 and still sometimes think about it.

Cons:

-The Haunting of Hill House is a very sad novel with a famously unhappy ending, about a repressed shut-in who tragically finds that she can't form genuine connections with other human beings. The Haunting (1999) ends with Nell heroically saving her new friends by yelling at her undead great-granddad that she no longer fears him.
- The Haunting of Hill House is about inhuman architectural malevolence and its impact on generations of residents rather than individual ghosts - a fresh and interesting take that went on to heavily inspire other writers such as Nigel Kneale. The Haunting (1999) opts for an approach where the good child ghosts are battling the bad Palpatine ghost.
- Neeson looks tired and upset throughout.


Pros:

- The spooky CGI house makes an evil frown at one point.
- Neeson looks tired and upset throughout.
- Owen Wilson's head.
- When Owen Wilson loses his head, Neeson gently winces and turns slightly away, but does not otherwise move or react.
- Great companion piece to the 1995 Sierra adventure-game Phantasmagoria.
- Unlike the famously ambiguous and subtle work of horror fiction that it adapts, The Haunting (1999) ends by objectively confirming that heaven is real.

Holy cow there is a lot more going on in that scene than I remember. I think I'm coming around on The Haunting 1999.

Also it is unfair to say that he does not otherwise react, because he also sneaks another peek.

Because it's not The Haunting. It's one of those cases where the movie would be well enough regarded in its own right if it hadn't tried to hang on the coattails of a greater film.

I've mentioned this before, but I'm also given to understand that due to a rights acquisition fuckup they could use the title and the character names in the production but were not allowed to reproduce any scenes from the 1963 movie. So it was even more pointless to call it an adaptation of Jackson's novel as the Wise movie hewed quite closely to the text.

The house was really lovely though. Can't fault that at all.

Check out the novelization, it's written by Rob Zombie and is a "director's cut" of the movie.

It’s not just that he is a wife guy, he utterly refuses to make a movie without his wife in a major role. It’s honestly impressive- good for him. He has the cache to do whatever he wants and he uses it, I only wish he would get even weirder and bolder. Lords of Salem was a high point and I want to see more of that.
