I remember Jeepers Creepers being the quintessential "dog days of summer" movie complete with a release in August. Just one of those movies you watch on a lazy afternoon and I remember it for that. I actually never saw any of the sequels but the original is a fine watch.

Basebf555 posted:There was another time the year before that when a specific moment from a trailer caused me to be in the theater for a movie opening weekend, knowing close to zero about the movie and having never heard of it's star. At the risk of repeating history: that shot looks really cool, what film is it from?

Pitch Black is so good. I watched it around the time it came out and was like, "holy poo poo this kicks rear end" and watched it again recently and was like, "holy poo poo this still kicks rear end"

It wasn't a big hit but nobody who saw Pitch Black was surprised when The Fast & the Furious happened a year later.

Pitch Black is the first in the Riddick series and a great film though it's a mixed bag after that. The video games though were cool and worth playing.

It’s a ridiculously solid little scifi horror movie. It’s definitely got some budgetary and aging issues and is 100% for big old nerds, but everything is 50% better than it needed to be.

I’m just mildly mad that If and Imaginary aren’t releasing at the same time, when that could have led to some wacky mix-ups at the theater.

Phy posted:This is out on Crave in Canada tonight! They put it under "comedy" Probably accurate. Maybe it was the cinema I saw it in, but this has some of the worst lighting I've seen in a film in ages. Entire scenes where I couldn't tell who was present until they started speaking. Film's okay otherwise, best joke is the title.

Lisa Frankenstein has a lot of great bits and and visual impulses, and is just fundamentally a pretty awesome idea, but I'm also absolutely convinced that there was a better film here that was killed in the edit. And I don't think Carla Guigno's performance works, which are words I never thought I'd say. There's a really great gag in the film which is screaming out for an R rated cut too. But yeah, honestly? I liked this. There's more ambiguity to it than I thought, particularly that final shot, and there's a lot of great lines and vibes.

I wish I hadn't seemingly missed its theatrical run  I am a big Diablo Cody fan and the entire vibe felt right up my alley, but it came out at a time where we just couldn't make it to the theater. I'll watch it as soon as I can.

And I don't think Carla Guigno's performance works, which are words I never thought I'd say. Yeah, the movie definitely feels like it was cut down from an R rating, it feels like it wants to do a lot more comedy gore than it gets to do. It's still a very fun little movie with (your taste for Diablo Cody's particularly idiosyncratic writing as a factor) a lot of really great bits. But it'd go from "worth a watch" to "oh my god, track this down ASAP" if they got some Peter Jackson-esque goofy gore into it, because it feels like it wants that vibe. poo poo, there's an entire sequence I'm convinced they wanted to do a Braindead reference but got told to tone it down.

Because the thread kept talking about it I'm watching The Crow which I feel is action horror which is a genre that doesn't get enough love. Probably going to watched Pitch Black after this. Hrmm so what are some really good action horror movies. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Mar 9, 2024 |

From Dusk Til Dawn, Prey, I kind of have a soft spot for all the terrible Resident Evil movies (the first ones good), Tremors of course, Train to Busan, Pandorum, Overlord is a surprisingly good film. Bunch of good action horror

X-Cross. It might be a little light on the action side, but it does have a chainsaw fight so I think it counts. Which means 2LDK counts too, so add that to the list
