ultraviolence123 posted:The Blob remake is from 1988, is R-rated and is pretty gory. It also rules. I bought tickets to whatever PG movie was playing at the time and snuck into the theater showing it instead when it was originally released. Oh yeah. For a little kid it was scary as hell. I think I saw on video when I was 8 or so. I was big into monster movies at that time and had just watched the original The Blob -- Blob 1988 scared the gently caress out of me.

OldTennisCourt posted:I was messing around on Netflix and I found this show called Fear Itself. It's like a tamer version of Masters of Horror, wiki says it's a direct take from it, with a bunch of famous horror directors making hour long episodes, Twilight Zone style. I remember watching it. But I can't really remember specific episodes. I remember thinking it was alright though. Problem is I think I blended it in my brain with MOH.

That's awesome. I recently rewatched it, the version on Netflix. I didn't really like the score on that one that much.

Orunitier posted:Let Me In wasn't bad, but I had already watched that movie once before when it was called Let the Right One In. The only changes I didn't mind were the cat scene and scene with the kid's dad drinking with his friend. Was all that crap about their dead father in the original story or internet thing? edit: also it'g going to draw a lot of comparisons to Descent.

I noticed that Pontypool is on on Netflix now and watched it. Pretty neat idea for a zombie movie, even if it had a sinister francophone agenda.

Cinnamon Bastard posted:Also a third act that I like to interpret as the audience being infected by the insanity inducing word virus, because what the gently caress. That is some serious "we are making a film filled with ACTING" crazy time. Yeah. In the last 1/3rd of the movie it kind of matures into the B-movie it was born to be or something. It's definitely not as tense as the beginning of the movie, but it was still great. woodenchicken posted:I really should rewatch Pontypool, it was great. The moments when a person keeps talking and sudenly shows a word pattern that could be indicative of infection were so tense. That part where the woman talks to her daughter was like that. Saying all the terms of endearment and everything. Or if anyone said anything with alliteration.

flashy_mcflash posted:I know this is probably going to make you look for it and give this guy revenue he doesn't deserve, but never ever ever read the horrible book on which Pontypool is based. It is one of the worst things I've ever read and actually contains an Author's Note at the end (you know, when it's too late to use this book to make roaches) that basically says 'sorry for this book, I was young and stupid'. Was going to make? I though the second movie was in the works right now.

Mouser.. posted:After watching The Shrine, I'm convinced that casting directors of low/mid budget horror state "I need a white guy to stare at things in disbelief, second guess the protagonist, and spout lines that amount to "I told you so!" Get me one of those Ashmore twins! The movie one or the TV one, they both play the same type of guy anyways." I fell asleep during the first 10 minutes of this. Was it good?

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Pontypool should be amazing, but it wasn't directed very well. Like I can scarcely recall a single shot of it. Whatever merits the screenplay might have, there's no strong visual component. I know I'm going to regret asking this, but how is the virus in the 28 Days movie associated with language?

SuperMechagodzilla posted:In the very basic sense that it communicates an emotion. But it's also why the first shot of the film is of a TV screen, and there are lots of references to film and other media. Consider how many written notes there are left around in the film. Those old media (letters, paintings, films, etc.) are replaced by the instant 'viral' communication. They underline it with the speech about how there'll be no more films. If that's all you're talking about then I think you're overstating by saying language-as-a-virus has been done before. I also think that your interpretation of 28 Days is so broad it could be applied to hundreds of movies just as easily.

One thing that kind of struck me as a misstep by Sinister was the monster, Mr. Boogie or whatever. I thought it would have been a bit more creepy if it was just a regular looking creepy guy. Or at least go full on demon with him. As he is he looks a hell of a lot like Brandon Lee.

Darthemed posted:I don't think they've been mentioned in here before, but this past week I saw A Bucket Of Blood (1959) and its 1995 remake, The Death Artist. Roger Corman directed the original and served as co-executive producer on the remake, which was apparently made for the Showtime channel. The two versions are incredibly similar, although there's some nudity thrown into the remake because hey, it's Showtime. The remake also has cameos by David Cross, Mink Stole, Will Ferrell (in his film debut), Anthony Michael Hall as the main character, and Justine Bateman sporting a ridiculous accent through the whole film for a single pay-off joke right before the credits. The trailer for the remake (which they included at the start of the VHS release) spoils the ending by including the last scene, so I'd have to recommend seeing the original first. I had no idea there was a remake, that's neat. The thing that always got me about the original was that the clay he uses was still wet, clearly, but no one ever mentions it.

Zwabu posted:Bucket of Blood is the old Corman black and white where the beatnik sculptor has to kill so he can sculpt by molding the clay around dead things and people, right? I seem to remember things starting off with a cat and getting out of hand quickly. I don't remember details (watched it on TV as a kid) but I do remember liking it. Yes it is perhaps the greatest example of the Mooshing Clay On Dead Things sub-genre.

The second Hellraiser still had those vampire elements as well, so I don't really get the original point anyway. The stripped down "only the insane stuff" version of Hellraiser was the third one, which is fun but really stupid.

Well I mean as long as the corpse is consenting...

DeimosRising posted:I don't agree that it's better than Carpenter's 82 version (not 89) but even if it were, it certainly wouldn't be because of the SFX. The Thing '82 is a masterpiece in that regard. Yeah I saw the the 82 version for the first time a few years ago. There's nothing not effective about those effects.

Enough really can't be said for some of the choices the filmmakers made in relation to the use of the voicemails, casting and general atmosphere of it. Yeah Snowtown Murders stuck with me for a few days. A really good movie that I never want to see again. It makes you feel sort of dirty and uncomfortable.

Just watched Blood Diner on youtube after hearing about it on the Flophouse podcast. It's really bonkers and weird and I'm surprised I had never heard of it before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0KNXj-noHEz It's basically a very silly, low budget 80s gore(ish) movie.

Orchestrated Mess posted:It's somewhat of a remake of Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast, which is also probably online somewhere. If you liked Blood Diner, Blood Feast is also super cheesy and low budget. Really true for the entire "Blood Trilogy" by Lewis, or a lot of his other films. I found it the night I watched Diner actually, and am half way through it. Thanks though

When putting together the plot they said "Well if Burt has access to guns the movie's over in twenty minutes, gotta figure out a way to strip him of his powers!" Tremors IV basically is an origin story, albeit with Burt's ancestor in cowboy times.
