I didn't like how Cult ended and felt the others ended better.

M_Sinistrari posted:I think what happened with Dark Universe tanking hard was that the studio execs were impressively stupid in handling it. They were looking at the shared Marvel and DC films and were all 'oooh shiny!', and looked at League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and said 'we gotta plan!' which frankly sucked so hard it blew.

Also the mid 2000s aesthetic and Shiraishi's documentary approach to found footage really lends itself well to squeezing the movies through the narrow pipe of modern streaming service compression algorithms which is to say both movies were compression artifacted to gently caress but in a way that reminded me of being awake at 3 am on the weird side of youtube on my laptop

The first time I watched cult it was such a lo res copy I thought the ectoplasmic worms looked like eye floaters which was such a cool idea to me. Ectoplasmic worms are dope too tho

Noroi was the high mark for me out of the 4 that I watched. I'll probably watch more but I don't have the time commitment for the series

i just watched Infinity Pool today and thought it was pretty bad but Mia Goth was indeed great. i also watched Evil Dead Rise last night which was similarly a pretty bad movie with one great performance (Alyssa Sutherland).

M_Sinistrari posted:The Sinister films were okay enough. Buguul's look worked for the setting. But what really was standout for the films were the mini murder reels. When I was watching, I was more anticipating the next film mini than the main story. With Insidious, from what I've seen is just more compelling overall, the storyline revelations mesh rather than feel smooshed in, the characters come across organically fleshed out. I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing Red Door soon as there's room in the showings when I'm not working. The 8mm films were great, i wish they would’ve come up with a better wrap-around story to just keep making family snuff sequels

I'll say it again there was a point in Occult where I was like "Where is this going , this isn't interesting", then the movie ramps up by about 10,000% and you can't look away.

I didn’t want to give too much away but basically a group of teens party in a remote location and mess around with statues nearby that ticks someone off and he kills them all.

Kind of reminds me of a terrible movie that I watched a while ago that I only watched because it had Nate Richert in it (the guy who played Harvey from the 90s Sabrina the Teenage Witch TV show) called Pinata: Survival Island, where an evil pinata starts killing people. It kill's nate's character by kicking him in the balls so hard it splits him in two which is delightfully stupid. Something I did appreciate though was they weren't JUST partying on the island, there was a kind of game where they were chained to each other and had to try to find underwear hidden around the island as part of a bachelor party so the characters had a Thing to do that wasn't just "Get drunk and have sex and get murdered" so that helped give some semblance of plot or characterisation.

Only The Ring remake but including  makes  But also check out He Never Died. A stretch to call it a horror movie, more supernatural drama with some light goop. I've never thought much of Henry Rollins as an actor but this role is perfect for his more wooden emotionless style.

STAC Goat posted:The thing is that the DC shared universe is a disaster too. There’s kind of no successful shared universe out there right now except Marvel. And Marvel only kind of set out to do this. They made a bunch of decent individual films first and then tried to make them all work together. Everyone else who set out to make a cinematic universe has repeatedly put the cart before the horse. The Dark Universe did promotional stuff and loaded the Mummy up with Easter eggs and cameos. But you gotta just make a movie or two people want to see first. Then you can build off that. But everyone wants their billion dollar toy first. It comes across more as the execs got all 'new thing, gotta cash in' without really looking into where the superhero franchises were doing things right and where they were dropping the ball. I agree completely with you on there needs to be a film or two that are solid for the foundation, and too many are putting the cart before the horse. I still feel a Dark Universe is possible, but not with the current mindset with the studio executives.

I think for me it goes Occult > Noroi > Cult Still need to finish Senritsu and figure where I put those, think I'm on The Most Terrifying Movie in History. Just finished the short story so I'm about to give 1408 another try. I remember seeing it in theaters ages ago and just finding it mediocre.
