LeechCode5 posted:As for H2, I'm hoping it'll be good. I really don't care for the Halloween remake. I gave it another viewing the other day to see if it'd grow on me, but I liked it even less. I liked some of the casting (McDowell as Loomis was an excellent choice), and the overall look of the film, but the bad outweighed the good in my opinion. I didn't mind the changes made, I just didn't like how they were handled. But hey, maybe this one will make up for it. Fortunately, Rob realized the mistakes he made on the first movie and wants to improve that in the second. The biggest gripe was that he tried to pack way too much into Halloween (it's like three mini-movies in one) and he said that was a mistake. Hopefully it'll be like HO1KC and Rejects where he matures in between. There are a lot of cool behind-the-scenes photos on this blog.

Hopefully it'll be like HO1KC and Rejects where he matures in between. I think Rob Zombie's biggest mistake was trying to make a Halloween movie in the first place. Zombie is great at exploring the inner workings of his own sleazy little universe of serial killer carnival folk. But that's not Halloween. The whole deal with Halloween was that Michael Myers was a nondescript kid from a nondescript family who lived in a nondescript suburb. Then he killed his sister and nobody knew why. Then he came back to kill again. But still, nobody knew why. The movie's effectiveness lies in the "Oh, gently caress, this could happen where I live!" feeling that it gives the viewer. When you take the movie out of the regular, boring suburbs and put it into Rob Zombie's Planet of the Rednecks, where even the cheerleaders love Slayer*, it doesn't work. I think the very concept of Rob Zombie's Halloween is fundamentally flawed. I don't think it can be improved. *To me, this little detail was the thing that really stuck out and showed that Zombie has no idea how to handle "normal" characters. Cheerleaders don't listen to Slayer, Rob. I don't care if they live in the suburbs just outside of Hell City, Hell. They just don't.

Slasherfan posted:I think it was more "She Wasn't Dead?" Take it for what it's worth but according to a post on IMDB, some guy claims in the set notes the idea was to puncture the lungs/body cavity so it wouldn't float when it fills with gases. Don't know if the set notes part is true but it makes about as much sense as anything else.

Just putting this out there, "Graduation Day" is the best slasher in history. You can get it on Netflix instant queue and I have to recommend it. It's so loving funny all the way through. Also I've been going through all of the Masters of Horror. While there are only like two or three good ones, most of the rest are just hilarious, like Jenifer.

I think it quasi counts but I caught the UK film The Children last night and it wasn't bad at all. A bit gory and slasher-y enough to be mentioned in this thread and will certainly justify goony opinion that children are the spawn of satan. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt1172571/

There is a slasher movie coming out here in May called Tormented, it's about a gruop of teenagers who bully some fat nerdy kid to the point he commits suicide. Months later he returns from the grave for revenge. Could be interesting but it's going to be hard to warn to a bunch of characters that bullied someone to death.Here is offical UK website with not much on it. http://www.tormentedthemovie.com/

This isn't a slasher, but since our general horror discussion thread is probably long gone at this point, I'll bring it up here. Any of you guys heard of a flick going straight to DVD in a couple weeks called The Burrowers? It's a creature flick set in the old American west. Oh, and it has Clancy Brown. Fangoria has a nice article about it in the current issue, and the buzz surrounding it seems to be very positive. Dread Central has the trailer posted here Here is a description of the plot: quote:In case you aren't sure, the plot for The Burrowers goes like this: "It is 1879 in the Dakota Territories. A handful of brave pioneers maintain isolated settlements in the badlands beyond civilization. Irish Immigrant Fergus Coffey is near to winning the hand of his beloved Maryanne when she is suddenly taken from him, her family brutally abducted in a nighttime attack on their homestead. Suspicion falls immediately on hostile Indians. Experienced Indian fighters Will Parcher and John Clay form a posse and set out to rescue the kidnapped settlers, taking along a naïve teenager hoping to prove himself a man, an ex-slave looking to find his place in the world and their ranch-hand, Coffey. But as men vanish in the night and horrific evidence accumulates with the dead and dying, the group discovers that their prey is far more terrifying than anything human, and their prospects are far more terrible than death.

Anyone hear of a TV series airing on CBS April 9th called Harper's Island? It sounds interesting, it's supposed to play out like a slasher movie with someone on an island killing off a family during a wedding. You aren't going to find out who the killer is until the final. It's only going to be 13 episodes but if they do it right it should be awesome.

Yeah, that's going to be interesting to see what tone they take. My intial reaction was that it was a basic interpretation of Agatha Christie's Indians but maybe they'll go with a darker slashy route.

Here's a one-page from Fangoria on the show, if anyone's interested. Also, Jackie Earle Haley as the new Freddie actually goes a long way to giving me more confidence in this remake. e: Here's a longer promo for Harper's Island (if you want to go in knowing as little as humanly possible, then you should probably skip it). I'm actually looking forward to this. I really, really hope it's good. Also, seeing as how the show is this week, does anyone want to go ahead an create a thread for it so we can start to get some awareness going before Thursday? If no one else wants to, I could put one together. But if somebody is already working on something, I don't want to step on any toes.

Super Dan posted:Rorschach is the new Freddy Krueger. Wow. If that's true, that's just about perfect casting. I mean, Freddy will always be Robert Englund for me, but after seeing Haley do a great, scary job playing a morally ambiguous Travis Bickle style vigilante, I'd love to see what he does with a character set firmly in "serial killer" territory.

But drat did that movie rock. I have recommended that flick to so many people and they all agree that it was more fun then it should have been. Seriously, the best Straight-to-dvd horror movie. This trailer, I dunno - got some cool looking kills and some nice T/A but kinda cheap looking. Its also not the same director of 2

Is it the same team that made the second? Sadly Lionsgate won't be greenlighting a sequel to 'My Bloody Valentine', which is a shame, particularly as the Director supposedly had a great idea for a sequel. Here's hoping the film does great on Home release and they change their mind. And what the hell. I'm watching Harper's Island now so seeing that promo was fun. But how do you replace Bill Pullman with Harry Hamlin?

If Zombie let someone else write his films and not shove Sheri Moon into everything his films would be a hell of a lot better. Also he could have at least let Myers keep the mask, it's just rotted away to nothing now.

The trailer wasn't looking too bad until Sheri Moon popped up. Do we really need more backstory on Michael's motivation for killing? I was one of the people who liked the first one (I know, I know...) and I didn't mind the messed up childhood angle he added into it, but this just looks goofy.
