I could go for a Night House 2 (one where the embodiment of nothingness doesn't need to stop the movie dead in its tracks in order to explain its motivations and can just be an awesome achievement of set design and photography instead) sure, thank you for asking.

Night House 2 where it's about some construction contractors working for a house flipping company and are just struggling to do their job against the occult architecture that wants to kill them.

Kvlt! posted:yeah trauma is the least interesting and most overssaturated theme in horror rn id rather literally anything else tbh I don't really mind it necessarily it's just that some horror movies act like they're the first ones ever to be about two things and don't bother to be scary or emotionally interesting. Kinda like all the lovely 2010s dramedies that never manage to be that good at either comedy or drama. The way Night House concludes with her confronting the manifestation of her suicidal ideation felt like it was at least trying to say something about trauma and depression that wasn't immediately surface level. I like that it's clear that it's not something she gets rid of. That entity is always present. She holds it off in that moment but it's something she needs to continue to manage. It feels honest and hopeful without being saccharine.

We need fewer horror movies about trauma, and more horror movies about a guy with a big knife

Black Pants Man is, at it's heart, a story about dealing with the loss one's grandparents, all set in a pitch perfect recreation of early 2010s suburban Idaho Slaughter Museum is about a high school class who do an overnight lock-in at a museum but it turns out a serial killer was locked in with them. I know which one I would rather see

Abigail was fantastic and once again continuing trend of kids absolutely killing it in horror movies (late night with the devil, M3GAN, Imaginary) Also Kathryn Newton continues to shine in every movie she’s in (Freaky, Lisa Frankenstein and now Abigail)

I probably would have appreciated Smile more if it wasn't the 100th entry into the trauma genre in the last 10 years.

Also enjoyed Late Night With the Devil but was probably mentally over-hyped knowing it was from the same producer as Lake Mungo (however logical or illogical as that is) since that's one of my favorite found footage movies. Really enjoyed the style and pace of the movie. Saw a few various remarks that it kind of runs out of ideas towards the end, but I didn't particularly feel that way and enjoyed the chaotic final third.TheBizzness posted:Late Night with the Devil is a good movie but I wish it was a little spookier. ^^I do agree with this, though. And I'm not informed enough to have an opinion on the usage of AI generated images, but I do think it's a shame that the negative attention kind of overshadowed any buzz for the movie (at least from what I saw, last October I was struggling to find out even a general release window for the movie and not a lot of ton of sources were talking about the movie in general).

I'm actually kinda grateful for the stink about the ai images - they look noticeably worse than the rest of the film and hopefully if everyone makes a fuss now, other studios will try and avoid it later

I've s̶e̶e̶n̶suffered through *so many* FF movies that would just flat-out be better if they just made them as normal movies. I know Bigfoot isn't real, there's no amount of shaky-cam and bad framing that's gonna convince me not only that we found Bigfoot but then commercially released a snuff film of his kills.

I said when it first became an issue and I will confirm now, had I not been told it was AI I wouldn’t have noticed. That said, since I do know, I couldn’t stop thinking about how easy and inexpensive it would have been for them to fix it. Especially since that owl logo is in nearly every shot of the first half of the movie. It stinks and they should replace it.

Fix it, and if they're going to keep making films, do better. If not I'm good with this being their first and last feature

It’s not like there’s a surfeit of good normal movies about Bigfoot. You got Legend of Boggy Creek, Harry and the Hendersons, and that’s it all the rest range from bad to dogshit. Bigfoot is just a bad topic for a movie.

alf_pogs posted:I'm actually kinda grateful for the stink about the ai images - they look noticeably worse than the rest of the film and hopefully if everyone makes a fuss now, other studios will try and avoid it later Yeah I feel like the common consumer has to catch up and recognize AI images. I don't blame the average movie goer for not recognizing or caring about it but the images are noticeably uglier. The set and costume design had a nice 70s aesthetic to it using tonal brown shades and then the AI images look like they came from 2013 or something. I do think there are similar analogues between the age of digital editing and AI though. I'm sure there were plenty of similar complaints about initial CGI or computers in the use of effects when they were first utilized in films. They both probably put plenty of artisans out of business and seemed similarly soulless.

I’m still going to kind of defend a little it because it was done before there was a big issue with it. It’s def possible the guy they hired to make the graphics did use ai instead of someone else using ai to not hire someone to make graphics. The tech is inherently cool but there so much scum with it it’s not even worth using imo I’m glad the film isn’t suffering from the backlash but I’m glad that there’s probably enough backlash that people won’t gently caress with ai much any more. It’s too dangerous in an artistic sense

Gripweed posted:Bigfoot is just a bad topic for a movie. I disagree with extreme prejudice Kvlt! posted:they need to make him a MONSTER like all the bigfoot movies are either annoying FF "does he exist" bs or family movies like Harry and the Hendersons This is exactly what I've been talking about for years. Give me a legit scary Bigfoot that attacks with the strength and ferocity of an 8 foot tall great ape, and yes that would probably involve a CG Bigfoot but this is a situation where I think it's required. A guy in a suit just isn't going to do it, give me a real budget and some top tier CG effects on the Bigfoot, I'd like to experience that for once. I hate to quote myself, but these were exactly the kind of thoughts that were coming to me as I watched a bunch of Bigfoot movies last year: Basebf555 posted:I think for me the scariest was Exists, which has some really effective scenes in terms of showing the power and ferocity of the Bigfoot. Which is for me the scary part about the idea of Bigfoot, it's a gigantic powerful great ape and being on the wrong side of an animal like that is just inherently terrifying. And I'm not into movies like Willow Creek that refuse to show anything, I think Exists shows you enough to make the Bigfoot scary without overexposing it. Basebf555 posted:It's just always been a subject that to me had never been given a fair shake in the movies. Bigfoot has always been a go-to option for zero budget filmmakers who think they can just throw a suit together and then go out into the woods and make a movie. And they absolutely can do that, and have done that and there so many of them available to stream that it's very tough to sift through them without running into some real garbage.
