I know its stupid because its horror movies but along these lines.

At some point the sprawling conspiracy of the Saw people would be figured out and snuffed out of existence. Again, its horror, I get that we have to suspend belief that a dream demon, a revenant in a lake, an ironman psychopath that can take no damage, exist but in universe they all KINDA make sense. Final Destination death says gently caress you, I am the boss and just gets ridculous but with Saw, the further it goes on the more people in it, it would be discovered.

That was the post 9/11/Iraq War zeitgeist, feeling powerless against terrorist cells and their meticulous plans already set in motion against you. The fear that authorities can't protect you.

Tobin Bell is loving awesome and yeah you’re right he’s the only thing keeping the character interesting.

He’s incredible in Saw X. I hope they just keep making him the main character until he calls it quits

Ditto for Shawnee Smith, I'm so glad they got her back because she's so good and Amanda is such a good character that kinda goes underappreciated even by the marketing of the franchise. Lots of Kramer, lots of Billy, not a whole lot of the Pig.

who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Jigsaw is a weird movie because what it tried to do in terms of being more cleanly shot and having a large group of characters escaping more agility-oriented saw puzzles was done much better in 2019's Escape Room

Which then had a mediocre sequel with a completely different frame narrative and ending depending on whether you saw the theatrical cut or the extended version

I watched some random youtube horror quiz recently and I got like 24 out of 25 right and it was boring because the questions weren't on this thread's level.

If anything you probably need to get ready to strategically get a few wrong so that people don't start giving you weird looks.

There's two levels of horror quizzes:

1. The normal person quiz, with questions like, 'What is the name of the camp that Jason stalks in Friday the 13th?'

2. The one run by horror people, with questions like, 'Name four of the rowdy teenagers from Return of the Living Dead'.

It's usually the first one, but sometimes it's an absolute treat when you stumble into the second one.

*edit if youre willing to bend your rules a bit, Superdeep could count. Theyre deep underground instead of underwater, but the environment is almost nearly as hostile. Excellent monster as well

I watched The Superdeep. It was pretty good! A cold war era soviet scientist goes to an underground facility and discovers bad stuff is going on. Good atmosphere, lots of body horror, and some of the makeup was downright repulsive. At two hours it was maybe a little bit too long but that's a minor complaint. It is a good watch.

That's a REALLY new release. And a pretty niche film, what on earth question was it that the answer was Enys Men?

It was like “Which 2022 experimental horror film set in Cornwall is so deliberately slow that the lead character starts growing lichens?”

I also picked the wrong classic monster in You Won’t Be Alone, another movie I’m not familiar with

O that is literally just a description of Enys Men. If you’d heard of it you’d have gotten that. It was seeing how good you were at keeping up with current indie stuff.

Edit to not double-post : watching F13 V now* and the quality decline is a near vertical plunge. Holy loving poo poo. 4 wasn’t as good as 3, but still solid. 5 is loving dire.


*yes that reference was before I even got around to rewatching it :smug:

The lack of dates for some of these is kinda annoying. For example, it's the Fly remake, not the original. I remember asking about that.
