there arent enough games where you get to play as the monster which is why i appreciate the alien vs predator games for letting you be the xenomorph or the alien

If you have gamepass check out Carrion. You basically play as The Blob (but made of flesh), it's quite fun.

One good thing about most FPS's is that if you only use melee combat you can credibly assume that the protagonist is always Jason.

There’s a level in the 2009 Wolfenstein game where you break into an SS manor and an axe is conspicuously placed next to the door, and you can use your mystical Vril superpowers along with that axe to live out your slasher movie fantasies and butcher all of the Nazis, it’s loving excellent.

I mean, like, you can shoot your way through the level if you want, it’s just more satisfying with the axe. :black101:

I hated the part where the new girl killed a cat for biting her :mad:

And I wasn't feeling the rest of the movie either except for the John Carpenter score. The original at least had sick practical effects.

Also it made me feel old that they cast Zac Efron as the dad of a girl who's supposed to be 11 years old :negative:

I thought the new one had some great practical. they definitely touched them up with some CG, but that dude getting turned into a crispy critter later in the movie looked real good.

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
I think Firestarter started good but really fell apart around 2/3 of the way through. While I appreciate shorter movies, it really needed some extra time for Charlie to find the facility her dad was at. It went from "Where is he" to psychic GPS, which is fine, but how close was that place that she got there in a commercial break???

I also missed the actual interactions with Rainbird that were in the original movie and I think? the book. It seemed to me for a second that they were setting Kurtwood Smith up for that role, but nope, just a quick cameo. I also am not real pumped on the "Dad pushed her to burn everything down". It wasn't like that initially was it? It kinda just absolved her of any guilt.

It's directed by the 10 Cloverfield Lane guy and has a native American cast, so I'm hopeful.

looks good. hopefully its not full of super predators and all that other weird poo poo from the last one, although that made for a pretty good comedy

watched The Sadness. strange film, it wasn't nearly as disturbing as I thought it would be, which was probably a good thing

It was. It's also a major plot point that Charlie has been taught from infancy to never use her powers without parental permission, which is why the Shop couldn't run any tests until they set up Rainbird as a substitute father.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I think it’s the same in the book. At least the idea is that Charlie is “given permission” and told to do it by her dad even if he doesn’t outright “push” her.

And truthfully while I don’t love the story or either movie I hardly think the problem is not committing enough to an 8 year old being a mass murderer.

I forget which one it was (there's been a lot of predator movies), but the Preds tech only upgrades as far as their previous fight allowed. so if they got the three dot shooter maybe they dont have invisibility yet or maybe its like early stages invisibility and only lasts like 5 seconds at a time and takes minutes to recharge so its only an escape tool and not a god level hunting tool.

What I really want is a 90 minute movie made up up 90 second to 160 second trailers for movies that dont exist by major and budding horror directors and one gets made into a full production the following year.

F13 is the only online multiplayer game I ever got into, and I was hoooooked. I was legitimately upset when the legal issues killed development on the game and it lost the dedicated servers. It can get very tense, there was nothing like wiping out a full lobby as Jason or pulling off a last-minute escape as a counselor (go Deb!).

Dailymotion has a reliably large quantity of VHS era horror movies, and it's such a treat that nobody gives a gently caress about it. Every now and then I'll be like, 'Ugh where am I going to find a copy of ______,' and reliably, somebody named like hotbox420 has uploaded it there. Bless the internet.

People already pointed out Hobo With A Shotgun and Machete getting full movies, but the other aspect of that is that there was a contest where you could create your own grindhouse trailers and submit them, and whoever won would get their trailer added to the movie (in Canada only for some reason). I watched a bunch of them, the only ones I remember were the 70s grindhouse Hobo With A Shotgun and one called Maiden of Death that was like an undead avenging metal musician. HWAS won the contest and the trailer got added to Canadian screenings of Grindhouse. They also got enough attention from that that they were able to produce a full-length movie off the idea, although it went in a really different direction than the trailer.
