priznat posted:So is "The Apparition" as bad as the reviews or is it another case of critics not getting horror? It's really pretty god damned awful. What's his name, the kid with the giant head who played the blond rear end in a top hat in harry potter is in it though. The only things I took away from the movie were 1: the lead girl looks a lot like she could play Christopher Reeve's daughter in a Superman movie, cause she looks a crazy amount like him, and 2: the movie was horrible. There's like, 1 scene where you go "Whoa", but that's it.

I watched the trailer when it popped up on the iTunes new release movie list and suspect I saw all the "good" bits then. Alrighty, that's good to know.. I kinda groaned when the found footage of the security camera (it was moving!) came along. They just can't resist doing that poo poo anymore!

I just watched Alien Abduction which was posted here a page ago, and was wondering how the UPN version ended. The long version was pretty good, but not definitely not Ghostwatch.

The son goes into a bathroom and delivers a Real World-style testimonial about everything that had happened that night, and then walks through the house, looking for his family. All of them are gone. He walks upstairs to his bedroom, goes in, and when he turns around, the door is closed and there's an alien grey standing there in the shadows. He audibly gasps, and then his camera starts making GBS threads out. He just stands there, unable to move, and the alien grabs the camera out of his hands. Fade to static.

See, that's how you end a loving horror movie. The 'director's cut' is very differently edited, and that scene happens about halfway in.

I just went round two with Resolution. It's, like, a horror-ish riff on The Big Lebowski, but with a really touching friendship at its core. A couple things I loved the second time around: 1. Chris and Michael do nothing to advance the plot. The tribal security guys kill the two drug dealers before they, in turn, are killed in the ammo cookoff. They are entirely reactive characters, forewarned of their fates by some narrative rift. 2. I am now certain there is nothing in Resolution that indicates what finally kills them. They die simply because they must if we're to call it a horror film. Goddamn, what a movie.

penismightier posted:Is all the footage from the original cut intact in the UPN cut? No, it is both 30 minutes shorter and has some substantial re-arrangement (like that much better ending). UPN basically cut out all the 'writerly' bits - deemphasizing the one-word typical characters by removing most of their dialogue. (In the director's cut, you have The Drunk, The Racist, and etc. In the UPN cut, you just have frightened people.) It's reduced to 'just' the aesthetics of someone trying to film the unfilmable .

Ever since Peter Jackson's King Kong I've wondered why studios don't sell abridged movies, the way publishers used to sell abridged books. But now I'm thinking you could make a pretty good TV anthology series where you take average-to-bad movies and cut them down to 52 minutes. Maybe the editors become the star, like mash-up DJs. Call it Masters of Editing.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:No, it is both 30 minutes shorter and has some substantial re-arrangement (like that much better ending). I just finished the UPN cut and holy poo poo is it good. The aggressively X-Files styled production is weirdly gorgeous, as is the synth soundtrack (possibly made by the composer for the X-Files, certainly sounds similar enough). In contrast to the director's cut almost all footage of the aliens themselves is excised and replaced with awkward cuts and static, adding a transparent veil of "mystery" to scenes that felt like outtakes from the set of Communion in the DC. My favorite part has to be the insanely obvious ADR adding mild narration to scenes that lacked context. The whole thing is an exercise in pushing the boundaries ofwhat bullshit you can call "fact," in that it's a completely gutted (in a good way!) recut of falsified footage intercut with out-of-context talking-head "experts" delivering canned theories on greys. The most poignant bit comes near the beginning, when discussing the verisimilitude of the footage: a title card reading "HOAX THEORY," followed by people skirting around calling bullshit, followed by the title card "REAL THEORY." It stands in stark contrast to Ghostwatch, coming a half-decade later on the heels of a huge resurgence in abduction fiction. Whereas GHostwatch is subdued and unsure of itself, often stagey, UPN Alien Abduction is aggressive and swift, packed with manufactured tension and certainty. A+ would watch again.

Also the kid with the camera was on the Nickelodeon classic Space Cases.

Her eyes were really creepy when they found her crouched on the counter like that. Definitely didn't imagine that. Mama has almost the same opening AND does the same shadow trick where the doctor looks menacing in a few scenes Horror movies starring women are much more interesting when they have something to do other than scream for 70 minutes.

It has haunted me since then.

The second half could have fooled me for an Are You Afraid of the Dark episode. A mediocre AYAotD episode. Don't you learn in horror movie making 101 that if your character starts getting into fist fights with ghouls most of the tension will die? And when did Darth Maul take up a new hobby?

I don't think I've been excited for a horror movie like I've been for Evil Dead in years. Caught the latest ad on tv tonight and man am I excited.  Now even if you'd wagered $10,000 a few years ago, I never would have believed I'd ever say those words.

I think you can pinpoint the exact moment when Insidious takes a turn for the worse: when the gas mask thing comes out. Looks creepy but whaaaaat? After that it gradually goes further into goofball territory. The pictures with the dad as a boy and the old lady showing up in them are pretty creepy though

So far the reviews of The Evil Dead remake on horror movie sites have been positive to middling, so it's looking good so far. They say the large majority of the effects are practical and it's over-the-top gory like the originals, so much so that one reviewer was surprised the film managed to get an R the way it is.

I need help with remembering the title of a film I saw a long time ago, this probably spoils a scene in the film but I remember it dealt with the very wealthy and there was a scene where everyones skin gets stretched and melded together. Also, I think someone literally gets turned inside out. It was a bout a young man discovering the rich were a horrific body horror style cult. I think it was like Riches or something but that title is not right for some reason.

100 Gacy House can suck it. Not like I had hopes for this or anything. This is the closest we've gotten to having found footage Predator, though (even makes the sound near the end). It's not lovely like Area 407 where nothing happens, it's lovely like The Tunnel where everything that happens is lovely. PS: Bigfoot: The Lost Tapes is a thing that exists.

Someone else in the thread perfectly summed up my feelings on Society (paraphrasing because I can't find the specific post): It's pretty dull up until the finale, but MAN what a finale. The last 15 minutes of Society is utterly bugfuck crazy.

I'd never actually seen this version either and had to hunt it down with this dreadful youtube name. You're right, it's much better, although they bear so little relation that it's hard to compare. A couple of the creepier moments were excised sure but all the things that bug me about the feature length version are gone.
