Holy poo poo I'm still working through season 2, but I love that they keep bringing Sawa back in different roles.

The Devon Sawa thing is both one of Chucky's funniest running gags and also genuinely an incredible bit of storytelling with regard to Jake and his arc. loving love this show.

It's amazing how horror as a genre has a way of reviving and supporting actors careers in a way that no other genre really does. Like, go back in time to 2010 and tell Devon Sawa that ten years from now you'll be starring as multiple different characters in an iconic horror t.v. series and he probably wouldn't believe you. Or look at how Halloween helped relaunch Jamie Lee Curtis' career more than 15 years after she'd last played Laurie Strode.

I was watching Smile and it occurred to me that I'd had it mixed up in my head the 2018 Truth or Dare, so I watched that next. Whaaat a piece of poo poo. Terrible effects (the main character even calls attention to it by saying "it was like a snapchat filter!" after facing a bunch of rictus grin people), boring, dull characters, lame ending. Quite liked Smile though. I read people complain about its jumpscares, but they were so telegraphed I didn't mind them. Ending's wild and I loved the creepy soundtrack.

I really don’t have a problem with jump scares. Sometimes they make me jump. Sometimes a film doesn’t have anything to else to it but that isn’t the fault of the concept of jump scares. There’s plenty of ways to make a lovely lazy horror movie and try and justify it with a trope.

I don't mind jump scares but there seems to be this trend in horror lately to really rely on them for making a "scary" movie. Like Smile is very jump scare heavy and so are the Conjuring films.

No, there's an art to jump scares, it's just that films cheap out on it too often.

PKMN Trainer Red posted:Yeah, Bad Things was honestly pretty dire. One of the first reviews said that it was a 'femme disruption of The Shining', which I thought was a really cool premise, but instead it was a boring slog with four unlikeable people in an ugly, drab space, complaining about things before ten minutes of actual horror movie.

The best jump scare is when you first see Jaws, as Brody is scooping chum

jumpscares are only bad when movies rely on them to startle the audience instead of, you know, scare them. Which does happen a lot in bad horror movies, but there's nothing wrong with them in principle.

So here's something mildly interesting... apparently AMC's FearFest is officially starting tomorrow night, for two months of horror movie goodness. And it's being curated by Shudder (excuse me, "Shocked By") Shudder, so there should be some people in charge that are making more appropriate choices. https://www.vulture.com/article/shudder-amc-fearfest-halloween-movies-tv-shows.html The article also goes into detail about how AMC will spread around it's offerings amongst all of its TV networks, and will try to tailor them to their respective audiences as well. (So, We TV will get more features focused around/made by Black women, since that's that channel's most popular demo, while BBC America will get more sci-fi stuff). So that might be a neat experience for people who have access to those channels and tune in semi-regularly. Key to note, though: While the whole thing kicks off tomorrow, it will be smaller in scope through September, and relegated to only Friday nights. Indeed, looking ahead on AMC's website, it looks like the only thing we'll get tomorrow is a pair of episodes from "The 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments" that doesn't even start until 11 PM EST, so there's not going to be too much Spooky September shenanigans going on on all of those AMC networks.

A bad jump scare thinks startling the viewer is the same thing as scaring the viewer.

It’s not about scaring them it’s about them having fun. Jump scares are fun for most people. They get a little jolt, they laugh, then they wrap their arm around the person they brought and have a great night out or in the house.

I think jump scares have their place, but often they're overused as a cheap tactic to prop up an otherwise uninteresting fBOO!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL3RVALKojE I like this take, that jump-scare-centric movies are for people getting in to horror, the way tricycles are for people getting in to cycling. An on-ramp to the harder stuff, because if you just go straight to cycling you're gonna fall down and not get what the appeal of a bicycle is.

It’s the same thing as a haunted house. Everyone loves hunted houses. They’re big, loud, goofy and fun. That’s the kind of vibe a movie with jumpscares has.
