Halloween Jack posted:The selection of classic horror is really amazing. It's not just 00s direct-to-DVD crap and more iterations of LavaShark vs. Acidantula that I was expecting. They've got Count Yorga!!! Honestly now you got me wanting LavaShark vs Acidantula to be a real film...

So I caught up on Last Voyage of the Demeter now that it's out on streaming/rental. Why was Dracula CG? Looking at behind the scenes stuff they built a full suit for the actor and completely replaced it in post. Seems really odd considering the amount of work they'd have to do to create the suit, get the actor into it for all his scenes, remove it by roto-ing out of every shot he's in, and then creating a nearly identical model.

Two years later she got a bunch of fillers in her face to become nightmarishly smooth, adopted six large dogs from the pound which she neglected and locked in her garage permanently, and was arrested for attempted murder as a result of trying to run over her husband with a car, all within the span of like two months.

Watching Halloween 6 and it's pretty awful, but Paul Rudd is fun and it looks SO 90's that I can't really bring myself to hate it.

That was a lame studio thing where the audience didn’t like the effects so the studio just quickly slapped it over it all.

Just rewatched Unfriended: Dark Web and other than the AJ actor, everyone in this movie gives the kind of understated preformance you don't usually get from the pro-ams usually populating the no-budget Found Footage flicks, although this is more correctly an epistolary film rather than true FF. I would unhesitatingly recommend this to literally anyone who likes thrillers or good-rear end filmmaking in general. The conceit of everything playing out on screens and the twists the movie enacts to get everyone's screens to stay on are absolutely harrowing. Just a masterclass and it's almost a shame this was branded as an Unfriended sequel because it could easily stand on its own. It's my new "wow, you've never seen..." movie

I was watching the director's cut a few months ago and my partner came in halfway through, and around the seven minute mark of kaiju Twoies rampaging through the city they finally remarked "I don't remember any of this." When I asked them if they thought it at all strange that both of the leads got killed and eaten prior to that they remarked that they always turned the movie off after Steve Martin was gone anyway, which, fair.

Hard disagree, the satire only works with the director's cut ending. Audiences just weren't ready for it yet.

Also did not know until recently that they actually filmed "Meek Shall Inherit" but it wasn't restored into the director's cut when the ending was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-IrrrDbOzs

Yeah, I watched the original ending for the first time recently and it worked way better than the theatrical ending. Even just the fact that the theatrical ending is so abrupt, comes out of nowhere, and isn't set up anywhere else in the movie. The original ending has the set up earlier with Audrey's song, "Somewhere That's Green", that's reprised for the lead-up to Audrey's death. The theatrical just cuts that song out entirely, and kind of awkwardly edits the final confrontation with Audrey II and Seymour so that... Seymour just wins somehow, who cares, and then a quick cut to an unrelated happy ending. The theatrical's what I grew up with, it's nice to have a happy ending once in a while, but everything about the original ending is so much better. Plus it matches the original movie's ending, and then tops it with that final sequence.

Generally I feel Horror movies work best with happy or at least bittersweet endings but I'd say Little Shop of Horrors might be one of those rare exceptions

I prefer things being resolved with something mildly uplifting but I'll be honest sometimes I'm just in for a loving downer. Like Hear No Evil or whatever that Dutch film was called. Just a total loving downer and nihilistic. The more nihilistic the better some times.

I like nihilism but Speak No Evil really didn't hit with me at all. I can't even really articulate why.

We stuck Cobweb on tonight, and spidey senses told me to check Does the Dog Die and yup, lots of upvotes on the ‘are there spiders’ question. The only details it gives are about the classroom scene with the glass, but a friend confirmed to my gf she doesn’t think I should watch. Are there a ton of scenes of the 8 legged bastards or is it just one or two? It looks a neat film and if I can just kinda watch around the arachnid stuff I’d like to keep watching. I could never watch Enemy, and that kills me.

I mean its a film called Cobweb (for nebulous reasons) but I don't particularly remember there being any spider specific stuff in it. I think they showed some spiders. That's about it. I dunno its a fever dream of a movie.

Thanks. Yeah I assumed the name wasn’t literal spider cobwebs originally but thought best to check. I’ll probably just try power through tomorrow. I can’t even watch the scene in The Beyond, and half of those are the most fake rubber bullshit possible!

It's so weird because they very slightly redesigned how Dracula looks in post but the changes aren't things you couldn't do for the guy in the suit! But like, they even replaced shots he's out of focus in the background. (The first ones are the real suit, the second ones are the VFX)

Not sure how legit it is, but I've heard rumor it was one of the studio execs who insisted on the CGI under the reason 'that's what the audience expects'. Baron von Eevl posted:The cult of the thorn is just the goddamn dumbest thing. I like weird cults springing up around monsters but it just absolutely does not work in Halloween. I absolutely LOATHED the Cult of Thorn bullshit. It always felt like the person who came up with it either read the novelization of Halloween or sat through the TV edit and thought 'ooh let's readd that' despite it was only just runtime filler.
