Kvlt! posted:Is it still worth watching if you know the deal with the monster and have read a lot about it? I feel like I've heard so much about it that it has kinda lost its appeal to me, but I'm definitely open to still watching it if it's still worth it. It's incredibly good, not watching it is just hurting you, my man.

I think if it was trashier & PG 13 it'd be better, but then that's basically just Myth of The American Sleepover. Which was better, so what i'm saying is - I'm right

It Follows ruled. It's like if John Carpenter and David Cronenberg had gotten merged by a teleporter accident and then directed A Nightmare on Elm Street.

It's a good film and finally something kind of unique on the whole supernatural possession thing.I'd rather watch a lovely original concept than something that's been done over and over again. edit: Dead Ringers is on Shudder along with another title I had not heard of called Shrew's Nest. Oh and Black Christmas. Woah Shrew's Nest Looks intense! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSCO95qb4Ss Hollismason fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Dec 16, 2016 |

I saw It Follows on a first date, pretty much the best way to see it. I'd like to see a sequel that explores the limitations of the creature, like how hard will it work to follow someone? What if it attacks someone in public where a bunch of people can see? What if someone shoots it with paintballs so it's no longer invisible?

Franchescanado posted:Edit: It Follows question: Did Jay have a foursome/gangbang on the boat? I submit that she did. I think that she had sex with at least one of the guys on the boat. She definitely swims out to it with that in mind, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for her to change he mind off-screen for an unknown reason. Finally, Swimming pools essentially represent purity and innocence in the film, and immediately after she swims out to the boat, it cuts back to her at home and her backyard pool is destroyed. She is later baptized in the big pool at the end confronting the problem and is born again. edit: Explaining the "creature" from It Follows is literally the dumbest thing they could do. A sequel or prequel that explore another aspect of the psychological nature of it could be good. Like, a movie about a prostitute, who is having sex with people for a very different reason than any of the characters in It Follows, could be interesting.

If they make It Follows: Part II It Takes Manhattan I hope the first scene is someone on an airplane being really smug about escaping It only for It ot have been aboard the whole time and brutally murdering them. Either that or someone who left the country to escape It being on a beach somewhere and It just walks out of the water having calmly strolled all the way from the USA to gently caress him to death and then walking back.

I liked that the creature was shown as singleminded in purpose but not completely mindless, like if someone took an international flight It would just stow away in the cargo bay or sneak onto the next flight, if they got onto a boat maybe It would walk out and climb the anchor line before departure, etc. Tactical Sperg who wrote to Variety was sperging in the wrong direction, this is like Death in Final Destination but in humanoid form.

McSpanky posted:Have a scene where she works/attends one of those swinger clubs and It just goes loving hogwild. It's explicitly in creepy stalker form. It doesn't just want to kill you, it wants to gently caress you to death. To get more gently caress energy, to gently caress more people to death. And, thematically, it passes on to new people because it gets distracted by the new, hot, obsession. Like, it's the manifestation of infidelity. It is every negetive associated with sex. I guess if you wanted to go really nuts with the sequel and bend genres, you could introduce another being which is the positives of emotionally healthy sex. The first being's immortal enemy. Like maybe if you actually get in a healthy loving relationship, the second one shows up loving fights the first one. It's just that the second being is basically a recluse that's very lonely and has a very small place in the world. And like the first being, it has to physically travel, so even if you get into a healthy relationship, the benefits might not show up in time to stop your baggage from destroying it. Or like, yeah, they could just make some boring movie about the tactically realism of the sex-stalking demon and "where it came from"

Uncle Boogeyman posted:ever since seeing this gag on twitter I can only think of the It Follows sequel as It Follows Back. I know this is from a page back, but I came up with the premise. It posted:Forward this to ur hottest daddy in 5 min or im gonna kill you P.S. im a demon boo. For real though, I would actually kinda love it if for the second film they went bonkers with the premise and turned the thing into a goofy comedy. Like as if the sequel to Rambo was Hot Shots Part 2.

Just aping what a lot of others in the thread have said before, but god drat the original Black Christmas is a mean fucker of a movie. I just rewatched it on the new blu and despite numerous viewings, it's still really genuinely frightening. Also throws in some underrated comedy beats that actually work. Plus Olivia Hussey

I just rewatched it on the new blu and despite numerous viewings, it's still really genuinely frightening. Also throws in some underrated comedy beats that actually work. I always find this amusing quote:Olivia Hussey told Bravo during an interview about their 100 Scariest Movie Moments series, that when she met Steve Martin for the first time, he told her she starred in his favorite movie of all time. Hussey initially thought he was referring to Romeo and Juliet but was surprised when Martin said it was Black Christmas and that he had seen the film 27 times.

There's a lot of sequels that qualify for making the first film even better or more nuanced. Warlock 2 for example.

If you live in LA, the New Beverly's doing a triple creature of Black Christmas, the Black Christmas remake, and Silent Night Deadly Night. Really wish I could catch those but I'm flying back to Chicago tomorrow. They're doing Kubrick all month too which I'm missing out on. What a Christmas lineup.

Might get some disagreement here, but I think TCM 2 was pretty much perfect in that it realized it couldn't out do the original at being scary or disturbing and just ran with it in a completely different over the top direction

Audition is still one of the most disturbing and uncomfortable movie experiences I've ever seen. I watch a metric ton of horror and I like learning about new stuff I haven't heard of before from the thread though I'm still angry about Lake Mungo. But we're all allowed a few bad horror opinions right??
