Hollismason posted:The Pope's Exorcist was a pretty decent possession movie but it goes so hard at the end then becomes the Avengers. I thought Crowe was really good in it. I get it, the accent is what it is but I still thought he brought his usual screen presence and his character was the reason the movie worked imo.

May was definitely a teenage fave, haven't revisited it in millenia but I'm sure it holds up

Personally I’ll take a derivative Exorcist rehash over something like Pope’s Exorcist. At least on paper. So I remain unshaken.

You always have producers looking around trying to figure out which famous horror franchise is in that sweet spot where it's been dormant for long enough that people would be hyped for it but not for so long that people have totally forgotten it. It was The Exorcist's turn apparently. Five years ago it was Halloween, two years ago it was Candyman. I think Pumpkinhead is well placed. The first movie is good but not like, so good that anybody would be upset about a remake or reboot or soft seboot. Great monster design, simple lore. Do it, Hollywood, make another Pumkinhead.

If they remade/rebooted Pumpkinhead it would inevitably be a CG Pumpkinhead which immediately takes away the entire appeal of what the original was. It's a fun movie because it has a classic Stan Winston monster in it.

Me and my partner have started our annual "watch a Hellraiser we haven't seen" tradition and are doing the fourth one. Midway through the opening credits they say "oh, I wonder who directed this one?" only for us to make the UGLIEST noise when "Directed by ALAN SMITHEE" appears. This is going to be a good time

So it always gets major points from me for that.

A Hostel remake, another Cabin Fever, maybe someone takes another kick at the can for Wrong Turn.

The Wrong Turn remake is also shockingly decent. Maybe because I bothered to watch all the Wrong Turn series and those fall off a loving cliff after 2, but the remake was enjoyable.

See I was thinking The Omen is perfect for DGG because there’s just enough depth for him to go real hard in on it and piss off the whole “anti-elevated” or whatever contingent of horror fans who just want to see someone melt someone with acid vomit or whatever.

Wrong Turn remake rules The Grudge re-remake is pretty good but ends way too soon (an extremely-rare complaint I have about films these days!) Cabin Fever remake sucks Halloween Ends rules And since I just finished it: VHS85 rules  Not as good as 99, but only one segment I felt meh about. After three of these, all being solid at worst, I can say this series going to Shudder Originals was a godsend. The first two VHSes had a great segment or two and Viral completely sucked; 94 had mostly-great segments, 99 I liked everything of, and this had one segment I was meh on and another I was loving until the end. Also has something I haven't seen done in the series before  Keep these coming

The issue isn’t DDG made a sophisticated film or whatever it’s more he just decided to make an easy story into something more complicated and messier than it needed to be. Worked for some but it just felt like idk dude you set up a perfect finale and you botched it

Due to numerous recommendations in this thread, I’ve just watched May. And I’ve got to say, that was really something else. At the moment I’m kind of at a loss for words to describe it. Except to say I *loved* it! It’s on AMC+. If you have that, run, do not walk, and fire it up. Or find it somewhere else, but if you’ve never seen it, you must.

Laurie vs Michael |||? We saw the big clash between them in the first film. You can’t top that. DGG clearly doesn’t want to. He wants to explore the uselessness of that violence and Laurie’s obsession and all that anger and trauma. But even if he wanted to just make a simple slasher you’re just doing what you already did well in ‘18.

Idk I don’t want to feel upset!

I wish Corey had a better pay off. I got nothing against that character in a vacuum. He just kinda stinks as an end game thing. The actor was good though. Also I’m not the Rob zombie guy lol.
