Uncle Boogeyman posted:Addams Family Values shits all over it. Addams Family Values loving rules. I had all these fond memories of the Addams Family movies, and then I went back and watched the original Addams Family only to reminded that all of the good poo poo I remember from the franchise happened in the sequel. The only really stand-out parts of The Addams Family were the Mamushka and Wednesday and Puggsley's Hamlet scene. Also any scene with Anjelica Huston. Raul Julia was amazing as Gomez but Anjelica Huston was the real unspoken star of the Addams Family movies.

The first 15 minutes of The Collection is probably the absolute dumbest, ridiculous, give-no-fucks, stupid part of a horror movie I have ever seen and I love it. e: Considering the first one was a Saw rip-off I approve that they turned this one into a Saw parody. weekly font fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Oct 4, 2014 |

So are The Collector and The Collection any good then, or at least not so bad that I'll regret watching them?

XIII posted:It's not really a ripoff, considering it was written to be a prequel to the first Saw. Technically, sure. But it was shoved out there during the peak of the elaborate-murder-trap thing that Saw had us going through for a bit. King Vidiot posted:So are The Collector and The Collection any good then, or at least not so bad that I'll regret watching them? The first one is pretty bad but The Collection is ridiculous enough to be entertaining throughout. And when you take out the credits it's like 80 minutes.

SALT CURES HAM posted:It just occurred to me that the Russian roulette bit from The Den (2013) was supposed to be faked in the narrative. I think part of why I assumed the villain was internet Cthulhu rather than a random greasy porn site was because I figured the girl actually shot herself and survived it, which gave her getting up and laughing at the camera afterwards a major "insane cultist" vibe. Everything in The Den that isn't actually part of the story is just them riffing on Internet Things in an incredibly accurate way. I'll say it again: They made a dancing dick puppet a recurring gag and not only wasn't it irritating it was loving poignant

The Collector movies are always first to my mind when the "mean" horror movie topic comes up. Those movies are filthy. What is the name of the movie with nazi-dracula that they have locked in a farmhouse and feed him drifters?

I just finished watching The Collection with a friend and I would say it is one of the worst films I've seen in a long while. IMDB gives it over 6/10, which I'm amazed by. I mean, I watched and enjoyed every Saw movie at the cinema so it's not like I have great taste or anything. I was hoping this one would be a great stupid boobytrap/torture show, but instead it was actually offensively dumb. And for an R-rated film I expected the gore to be full-on, but I found it to be pretty drat mild.

sticklefifer posted:I'd almost consider Blue Ruin a horror movie with the tension it raises throughout, and the unflinching brutality in it. I loved that they could pull off something like have him hesitantly stab-fight a guy, slip on his blood, and have the guy convulse on the floor, because that's exactly how a revenge murder probably happens: Ugly and awkward. I love that movie so much. It's just got this awful, rising dread throughout the whole movie. I had to talk myself out of using it for my 31 Days of Horror thing because it may be stretching it too far. But drat, it's a lot like a dirty, low-budget, horror No Country For Old Men.

BioTech posted:I once read something about how the cross didn't really matter, but the faith behind it that repelled vampires. So if you really believed in another religion, you could use those symbols to the same effect. Then a yuppy used his credit card to scare off a vampire because he was absolutely convinced his money made him superior.

Timeless Appeal posted:The Vampire Lestat is not a good book, but one point I do like about it is there are vampires whose fear of religion is essentially rooted in their own loathing and assumptions about themselves. They view the world and themselves through a Christian framework. Matheson's I Am Legend does a similar thing with its explanation of why vampires are so affected by religious imagery.

The Carrie remake is really pretty solid. I really like reading Carrie a a Christ who decides, "Nah, gently caress it. Humanity's awful. Old School Vengeful God is right."

It Just Got Worse posted:Matheson's I Am Legend does a similar thing with its explanation of why vampires are so affected by religious imagery. I read an SF book that went the other way, the cross weakness was one of the only real weaknesses and it was scientific, not supernatural - if a vampire had perpendicular lines extending a certain percentage of their field of view, they would go into a grand mal seizure. It didn't have to be a cross, all the right angles in human architecture were enough to drive them extinct.

The best vampire lore is from the X-Files episode "Bad Blood" where vampires allegedly having a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder comes into play in the story in a significant way.

The vampires there weren't supernatural at all, just an old relative of humanity that evolved to prey on prehistoric humans.

The entire thing is rediculously over the top and stylized to a hilarious extent. His base is literally called the motel Argento. Nothing in the movie makes any sense, it's just throwing as much cool/weird poo poo as possible and seeing what sticks. Anyways beyond the dude who really missed the point I thought it was a fun black comic/action ride that never let up. The arm rebreaking scene also made me cringe pretty badly

Just watched this. Some amazing footage. The interview with James Hoskins for example.

VOD/iTunes update ABCs of Death 2 is offensively bad. You have 26 directors, and you can't come up with one good loving short? Some of these are pure dreck, while others are too boring and forgettable. Nothing comes close to the same level as, say, Dogfight or Orgasm from the first one. K, M, O, W and Z are my favourites I guess, but I'm really neither here nor there on them. I find it amazing how both of these movies suck. They should just axe this project altogether. And Horns is fun! Aja branches out a little bit, but his love of gore and nastiness shows itself from time to time here. It's absolutely silly of course, but I embraced it and had a good time. And Aja somehow got a lot of good people together on this to make it look far better than it has any right being. I mean, this is shot by the same cinematographer as Eraserhead. Going to try Open Windows next, I hope. Adore Timecrimes, but I didn't like Extraterrestrial. This looks like complete crap but a friend of mine praised it when he saw it back at SXSW, so I guess I'll see.

Which ones did you hate? It was mostly underwhelming but still consistently better than the first one? I liked enough of the shorts that I would recommend it sans a few really bad ones (the found footage vacation one, the crossword puzzle, the one with the animated heads attacking each other). And I had no idea Horns was shot by the same guy who did Eraserhead. Watching now.

Also I've no idea who Argento is so that was lost on me. I just felt it was pretty lazy. There's lots of films I'll watch again, but this wasn't one of them. I agree with you that nothing made sense, but I don't agree that any of what they showed was cool or weird enough to make the trip worthwhile. But some of you enjoyed it and that's fair enough. This isn't a horror movie hugbox thread and just thought I'd post my dissenting opinion on what others have said.
