Opopanax posted:Did anyone who liked all three DGG Halloween movies see Exorcist yet? Because I’m one of those weirdos and I’m curious if I’ll like it at all I thought Kills was a bit clunky but overall enjoyed the trilogy. Believer has a solid first act and then it falls apart once they start doing Remember Exorcist poo poo. The exorcism itself is boring. 2.5/5 imo.

I'm not generally claustrophobic but both times I've watched it the cave-in scene near the beginning of The Descent gave me an actual panic attack. I think I have a specific fear of getting stuck in caves.

The real life story of the guy who got stuck upside down in the collapsed tunnel and they couldnt get him out so they just let him slowly asphyxiate the. filled the entire thing with cement is one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever heard.

My job requires me to read about wild ways to die and while sometimes funny, can often give you real SAN damage. I didn’t know about this illustration so sorry about the reddit link. The worst part is it actually wasnt asphyx it was cardiac arrest due to a day of blood pooling in his head.

Night Creatures is a good time. I've really enjoyed every Hammer movie I've seen. They all have a solid little story, a couple really good actors to anchor it, a couple smoking hot babes, just a little bit of blood and murder. They figured out the formula.

I wish someone would have picked up the Hammer model and run with it. Not every movie needs to be huge and sprawling -- to their credit, Hammer's stuff is TIDY. Invest in a few really solid locations and really good talent, and then sprinkle in the good stuff and let it all stew. And never, EVER, turn down the saturation on your movies. House of Usher looks like someone drove a van full of buckets of paint into the walls and it looks awesome, none of that 'horror is faded blue or pale brown' horseshit most studios seemingly buy into these days.

Watching House of Usher the other day was an experience. Corman's Poe movies that I've seen are all great because they're colorful, moody, and chilling. I couldn't believe that House of Usher did so much with only four main actors and a creepy set, and the bright colors of Masque of the Red Death are a huge highlight, as is the castle The Raven takes place in. Sometimes you just need people with exaggerated accents talking about magic and curses in a drawing room somewhere.

Keeping horror movies small and cheap is basically Blumhouse's MO, and why they make a killing with every movie. Five Nights at Freddy's is set to be their most expensive film of all time at only 30mil budget.

Because I’m one of those weirdos and I’m curious if I’ll like it at all I loved Halloween 2018, really liked Kills, and Ends is my top-3 (maybe top 2) Halloween films ever I had opening night tickets to Exorcist Believer but work was brutal all week and I overslept and missed the start time by an hour  If things are better tonight or tomorrow I'm going to try to catch it this week, otherwise I'm planning for it and a rewatch of Saw X with friends early next week. I definitely won't have time for it after next Wednesday, Killers of the Flower Moon is loving 3.5 hours and that's going to physically burn me out worse than work

I had to drag my family to watch Beetlejuice and it was worth it. Great performances by everyone, and lots of plot elements that are weird enough you just have to accept them for what they are, like the sandworms. Hell, Beetlejuice isn't even the focus of the movie, he just shows up to throw more chaos into the story. I was ready to cringe at the ending, but it was explained better than I remember. The "marriage" is just a Green Card thing to get out of a curse; he's lewd at Barbara, not Lydia. Hot take: Beetlejuice did nothing wrong.

I've liked every Jenna Ortega big performance so far and the supporting cast is solid, but there are people on this Earth now old enough to start an account on this site who were born the year Tim Burton last directed something good, and almost old enough to buy beer who were born the last time he did it for one that wasn't a musical or animated
