Slasherfan posted:Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre I really wanted to see this when I first heard about it since it's the first* Icelandic splatter movie but then the trailer came out and I lost all interest. I might check out the DVD but it just didn't look worth the money it costs to see it in a cinema. *not counting amateur shot on shiteo stuff.

bad movie knight posted:In the cat world they probably have torture porn movies where all their victims are human so I don't feel bad. EDIT: This could work as a plot to a horror movie where instead of people saying "oh it's just you Mr.Mumbles" when a cat jumps out at them during a tene moment they say "AUUUGHHH!" as the savage cats rip them to bits. Give me 1000 dollars for a few cats, bad actors and some ketchup and I can have such a movie ready in a less then a week. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Jun 8, 2010 |

What I liked about the first Saw is that he could almost reach the phone but instead of using the saw to pull it closer he uses the saw to cut of his own leg. Not exactly the sharpest bulb in the chandeleer.

Jonny Angel posted:Eyo somebody slap me for ever saying negative poo poo about Insidious. Rewatched Insidious and holy poo poo is Insidious good. So excited for Chapter 2, so excited for how forcefully bizarre and ballsy this series is. I rewatched it last night and just noticed that when she's walking around the new house you can actually see the little boy ghost standing in the corner right before she enters the kitchen . That startled the poo poo out of me. I like it when haunted house movies just get crazier and crazier. 1408 is another film I can think of that just goes nuts towards the end but unlike Insidious it doesn't quite go nuts enough.

The part in the original Evil Dead where time stops and the camera angles and movement get really strange is pretty much my favorite scene from any movie ever. The Evil Dead is by far the best horror movie of the 1980's even if it's a bit rough around the edges due to being made by people with little experience and even less money. It managed to be genuinely creepy and unsettling and hilariously campy at the same time. It reminds me a lot of Carnival of Souls in that aspect.

DeathChicken posted:I think I remember hearing something about the actors in that scene physically getting ill, and the guy playing Leatherface contemplating really killing everyone there. Fun fact: Texas Chainsaw Massacre was the film that made Nicolas Winding Refn realize movies were an art form. Having grown up mostly seeing French New Wave films his parents adored.

The film's producer has said that the set was built to be labyrinthian and contradictory to add to the claustrophobic and creepy atmosphere. The rest of the theories are a bit more far out. The Indian genocide theory does sort fit because all the native ornaments and the Overlook being built on a burial ground was something that was added for the movie and wasn't present in the novel. It also fits pretty well with Adam Lowenstein's theory on how horror movies often reflect a nation's historical traumas and guilts.

Hasn't it been basically confirmed that the set was purposely designed to be maze like with doors to nowhere and impossible corridors? Also the Native American genocide theory also makes a lot of sense because although it's been a while since I read the book I don't remember it mentioning any Indian burial grounds or raids and the hotel in the book didn't have any indian themed decorations.

Suggestions: Peeping Tom (1960) Very similar to Psycho in many ways. Not quite as good but pretty drat close and woefully underseen by most people. Carnival of Souls (1962) Made for almost no money by a guy who made industrial and instructional films because he saw a spooky abandoned carnival and wanted to use it for something. It manages to be both a bit cheesy and extremely eerie at the same time. It's got this weird dreamlike atmosphere that often turns nighmarish. A young woman barely survives a car accident that kills several of her friends she tries to move to another town to escape the memories but is haunted by mysterious spectres. A major influence on David Lynch. The Haunting (1963) A stonecold classic of the horror genre. One of the best haunted house movies ever made. Watch it as a double feature with the bad remake from '99 if you want to see how badly you can screw up a remake. Black Sunday (1960/Blood and Black Lace(1964)/Planet of the Vampires(1965)/Kill Baby, Kill(1966)/A Bay of Blood(1971) Or anything by Mario Bava. Planet of the Vampries might make an intersting double feature with it's remake Alien(1979). Phantom of the Paradise (1974) Not really a horror movie but if Rocky Horror counts as horror than this does to except it's better than Rocky Horror in every conceivable way. A Faustian musical about the music industry and the best film Brian De Palma has ever done. Possession (1981) An American living in West-Berlin returns home from a business trip to find his wife distant and mentally unstable. She wants a divorce and seems to be having an affair with someone. The husband meets her lover, a flamboyant German fop, but he claims that she has stopped seeing him and taken a new mysterious lover. The husband investigates but soon begins to suspect that something far more sinister is going on. In my opinion one of the best horror films of the 1980's.

Parachute posted:Most of the ships shots in the control room or whatever have a weird three-camera sitcom like setup, and the computers literally look like cardboard boxes with knobs glued to them. I mean, I'm guessing everything is intentional and supposed to look like some kind of goofy Flash Gordon-y comic from the 1950's or something, and if that's the case it works, but I'm not really in to any of that so there you go. Well it is from 1965. The goofy 1950's stuff was only a few years ago when it was made.

I really want to make a period horror film about the "Slaying of the Spaniards" that took place in Iceland in 1615. In brief: Some Basque whalers were plying their trade in the seas around Iceland and Greenland but became marooned in Iceland when a sudden storm destroyed their ships. The Catholic Basques were disliked and distrusted by the fanatically protestant Icelanders which made it hard for them to find any help. They had also technically become drifters since they didn't own or rent land or work for someone that did, this was of course highly illegal. In desperation they stole food and a commandeered a ship. A rag tag mob of Icelandic peasants and lawmen armed mostly with improvised weapons crept into one of their camps in the dead of night, murdered 14 men as they slept and then stripped them naked, mutilated the bodies and dropped them into the sea as heretics could not receive a proper christian burial. The rest of the group were eventually tracked down and promised mercy if they handed over any weapons and surrendered. As soon as they did they were attacked by the mob. Most of them were cut down quickly as they were defenseless but the captain fought bravely and managed to swim out to sea even after suffering to blows from an axe. He was chased down by a rowboat, dragged ashore and stoned to death. The bodies were then stripped naked, looted and mutilated. I could probably get some EU film fund money if the main cast was predominantly Spanish and it was mostly in Basque. The Icelanders of course would be portrayed as filthy twisted monsters and no Icelandic dialogue would be subtitled for maximum dehumanization.

I don't like torture but I love being disgusted and horrified by films.SlimGoodbody posted:Holy poo poo, if you're even remotely handy with a script, write this movie. If you're not, but okay with writing in general, look up instructions for scriptwriting. This should exist, and be directed by, like, Nicholas Winding Refn. I have seriously considered doing this. I read a pretty good book once that is a fictionalized account of the life of Jón Guðmundsson who wrote about the massacres when they happened. Jón was a self-taught scholar/healer/historian/herbalist/ghost buster and alleged wizard and called "the Learned". He was friends with the Basques and the only man in the area who refused to take part in the attack. Jón was later accused of being a sorcerer and exiled possibly as a result of having spoken out against the massacre. The guy who wrote the book has written movie scripts before and is a big horror film buff so I might try to contact him with the idea. I'll probably have to do a bit of groundwork first so I am not just an "ideas guy". Another good base for a period horror film would be the Benandanti. In 16th and 17th century Italy there was a tradition of people who believed that they traveled out of their bodies at night and fought witches. Of course this eventually lead to the inquisition finding out about their nocturnal activities and thinking that leaving your body at night to fight witches in the spirit realm sounded like something witches do. You could really play up the difference between the real world and the dreamworld. Have the real world be really brown/grey and dour and the dreamworld be hyper-stylized and red/blue and maybe even use really theatrical sets like the fictional parts in Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters or everything in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

I love the Devils. I adore the set design and general look of everything, I like Derek Jarman but I think he might have been a better production designer than he was a director. It's pretty amazing that a film that subversive and strange managed to get funded and even had a fairly large budget for it's day. I hope they actually release the full uncut version someday.
