Lmao, you know there was no way President Devon Sawa was surviving his full term with or without Chucky getting involved, so honestly he should at least be a lil bit thankful to him for having him go out in a way that exposes government corruption.

Can't wait to see what type of father Sawa will play next.

What pisses me off the most is that I can hear this scene:

Tangina does her "Cross over children" bit, Steven reacts to this negatively as before, then out of the closet we hear, with the same backwards echo effect as Carol-anne, a child's scream.
Steven panics and begins to pull on the rope, as Tangina tells him "not yet" the single voice swells a multitude of screams, male and female, young and old, that explodes into shrieking laughter as The Face emerges.

yeah some people hated the ending of Occult because of the FX but his consistent use of wild cheap cg is terrific. nightmarish Lovecraftian creatures from beyond manifesting as looney tunes Japanese Monty Python is way more fun than 90% of horror visuals

Really glad just randomly watching Noroi one day has led me down this fruitful found footage path. Especially cuz I'm pretty sure the only Western FF left for me to watch is just pure dogshit/random student films.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I’m late on the conversation but I think the most impressive thing about Tobe Hooper is his chameleon like ability to change up from film to film. So many of the big directors we talk about make the same kind of film over and over or use the same tricks and crutches every time out. But Hooper really feels like he starts from scratch and makes the film he thinks fits most each time. And I think that’s really cool.

So I think the Poltergeist debate really misses the forest from the trees in that regard. Yes it feels like a Spielberg film and Spielberg was heavily involved. But also Hooper was making a Spielberg film. And there may be no director who was better at that kind of versatility than Hooper so much that people just assume it’s not his film at all because there’s no traces of TCM in there or something.

Abso loving lutely. He's got this fun range and seemingly on fairly limited budgets. Some of his films just have this gorgeous colorful dream-like quality.
I just recently went The Mangler ----> Invaders From Mars ----> Spontaneous Combustion and it was a hell of a fun time. Really really wanna watch more of his films. Loved The Mangler so much.
Think I'm gonna watch his film Mortuary next. I actually like his non-Texas Chainsaw films the most.

Unrelated with Tobe but I recently saw Popcorn (1991) for the first time. Dope but wow there's a lot of Scream (before Scream) in that.

Listen here, funnyman!
I know at the time a lot of Spielberg produced films kind of had this feeling like they were directed by him but not. Like with Back to the Future you feel his energy and spirit but it's very clear a different director made the film and it's an interesting yin/yang (for lack of a better term).

I think with Poltergeist that Tobe Hooper knew he was making a Spielberg-produced (and written) film in that kind of vein (yes, I'm aware BTTF came out a few years later but it was a run of his at the time) and leaned into it more than other directors did. I think it was a stylistic choice of his at the time.

Yeah. I think that’s the unique awesomeness of Hooper. He doesn’t go into a movie like Poltergiest and say “how can I make this like TCM?” He knows the kind of movie he’s been hired to make and he sets out to make that kind of movie. And very few name directors have that kind of skill and versatility and lack of ego.

When I watch a Hooper film I don’t know what kind of film I’m turning on but I feel confident it will be well made.

Hooper looking at TCM2, and thinking 'how can I make this incredibly not like TCM', is the sort of decision that would infuriate a studio but absolutely delights me

Poltergeist was produced by Amblin, written by Spielberg, edited by Spielberg’s guy, effects by ILM, etc. like of course it feels like a Spielberg film!

Think ppl can be a bit too auteur-pilled when talking about Poltergeist, there are lots of hands on any given film beyond the credited director. I can see how Hooper was the director but (purposefully) blended and collaborated with another ecosystem that wasn’t entirely his own. Doesn’t mean Spielberg secretly directed the film.

It's the same thing that makes Escape From LA so delightful. You can't say those directors didn't go for it.

Yeah it’s this. Auteur theory is fine and appropriate with plenty of guys. But even with the most obvious examples they’re still not filmmakers who don’t collaborate. Spike Lee has a style but he also made all his greatest films with Ernest Dickerson. A film isn’t made by one person but we tend to buy into the big cult of personality of these directors. So Poltergeist becomes “Spielberg or Hooper?” when it’s just both guys making a film.
