“Jaws at Sea World” should be cool but just isn’t. It’s the type of movie where if you saw it on a weekend afternoon on TV when you were a kid it seemed really awesome but it absolutely does not hold up.

I quite liked the 47 Metres Down sequel, it had a full on Mario Bros underwater whirlpool sequence

For all the poo poo The Revenge's final scene gets, Jaws 3 very slowly (and repeatedly) approaching the weirdly-fragile glass of an undersea command centre like it's John Cleese attacking the wedding in Monty Python and The Holy Grail and then bonking to an instant standstill is just as good/bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arsAllZIa1Y

Jaws: The Revenge begins by ignoring the third movie entirely, informing the audience that Martin Brody died from fear of sharks, and one of the Brody kids gets eaten because the shark laid a trap in the water that involves knowledge of cow-tipping.

I thought Infested was pretty great. I love that they used a sort of camel spider type design on the spiders, and the movie was very well lit so that the CG effects were never over exposed. The spiders just felt very convincing in a way that they often aren't when you have oversized CG spiders in a movie. The pacing was also excellent. There's a moment about halfway through the movie where the characters have to get through a hallway that's been completely taken over by the spiders and I remember thinking this would be part of the climax to a lot of movies but oh poo poo there's still like 45 minutes left in this thing. Once it got going it really didn't stop.

It did an excellent job introducing a ton of characters really quickly but making them memorable and likable. There wasn't one "oh, I hope this guy gets it" person in the whole movie for me, they all felt like real people. My favorite part was the spider in the bathroom, it felt like how people really react when you find a big, weird bug in your bathroom. Some people wanna save it, some want it to die immediately, and usually the bug refuses to cooperate with your attempts to capture it and set it free.

Real happy the director’s doing an Evil Dead next

Jaws the Revenge also features Mario Van Peebles’ character teasing a Brody kid by humming the Jaws theme at him. Jaws 3 has Lou Gossett Jr’s Cajun accent. If anything, Jaws 2 fucks up by trying to be too respectable. The third and fourth movies are Universal’s attempts to make cheap Italian knock-offs of their own movie.

One of my favorite parts of Jaws 3D is when two actors have to pretend a rigid fiberglass shark is in fact swimming in a tank with them by yanking it around a wading pool.

The smash cut from the climax of that scene to everyone outside the bathroom duct-taping the door shut got a proper giggle out of me too, just going from everyone trying to decide what to do with the spider to unanimous agreement that the bathroom is just completely lost to them.

The two rules of shooting in traditional Red/Blue 3-D are "don't shoot underwater" and "don't shoot at night" Guess where and when the majority of Jaws 3-D is set.

Oh, and the shark destroys evidence in the third one when it eats one guy, then eats the other, then eats the inflatable raft.

It looks like The Stone Tape and GhostWatch are now streaming on Shudder, both are fantastic, but as British as imperialism and chips.

I was not allowed to see Freddy movies as a kid, but, walking past the door to a showing of Freddy's Dead in the theater, I saw this graphic for a second or two before being pulled away. I think I misread it, because for years, I assumed the movie was about a future where Freddy had killed every teen in the whole world. I built it up in my head as this horrific apocalyptic film, but it was actually just pretty dumb. dorium posted:Just started The Baby for the first time. Joe Bob did this one and I skipped it cause I found the concept gross, and it gave off big "The Writer's Barely-Disguised Fetish" vibes, but the RLM boys have convinced me to give it a shot.

The Baby is the one horror movie I just can't bring myself to watch. I know the ending and I genuinely did try when it was on Joe Bob but I was too tired to finish it and it just...I dunno, it upsets me on a really deep level I can't get over. Maybe I'll try again one day but I doubt it.

Maybe I'll try again one day but I doubt it. It is a very upsetting movie and a very gross subject, but its so fascinating and it is genuinely well made. It was such a weird journey and its sub-90 minutes so it isnt a huge investment. and yeah the RLM guys enthusiasm for it really pushed me over because I was ready to kind of ignore it and write it off as gross for gross-sake, but then it ended up having some actual odd humanity to it. I guess I'd align it with something like Gummo or Pink Flamingo's where it isnt the inhumanity that is the object of curiosity, but its the journey of discovery that gets you across the hurdles of the subject matter.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:one of the jaws sequels explains that the reason the shark is out to kill brodie's family is because of a voodoo curse lol That's actually from the novelization Baron von Eevl posted:The dead shark roars at the end of the first Jaws. FUN FACT: Spielberg put that as an homage to the first film he ever directed; made for TV movie starring Dennis Weaver called Duel. SO it's actually the sound of a big 18 wheel truck. And not that I mention it, Duel is pretty great. Not really horror though I guess The ending (spoilers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PunLPMBpxGc

https://x.com/discussingfilm/status/1788328039622799432?s=46 Well well well. Who could’ve seen this coming. He probably wanted A24 to purchase the land rights to a national park and run a semi-successful sleep away camp for a few decades before production began or something.
