I saw MBV and enjoyed it for what it was, but there is one plot hole that I can't seem to get over. When the female deputy is outside watching the Palmer house, how in the hell did the retired sheriff know that The Miner was inside the house? The deputy that's been sitting outside the house all night didn't know. Hell, the people inside the house didn't know. I'm thinking there was a scene explaining it that was cut during editing, but I might have missed something obvious.

Chunky Delight posted:Any advance reviews or thoughts about the new Friday the 13th or My Name is Bruce ? I watch Devin Faraci from CHUD on Twitter, and he saw an advanced screening of Friday the 13th. He loved it. He said it brought Jason back to basics (no longer undead) and was very respectful to the character, while adding some new stuff.

thethuthinnang posted:Also, surprised no one listed Friday 4 as their favorite. It's definitely mine, followed closely by part 6. I think it's the most polished and well-made of the series. We had cable when part 4 first hit HBO back in like '84. I was only 7 at the time, so I wasn't supposed to watch it, but I snuck up one night and watched it anyway. I was scared shitless of the woods outside my bedroom window for weeks. I genuinely thought he was watching me out there.

I'm not normally a wearer of t-shirts with characters on them, but I got this one last year for my birthday and had to wear it to the movie last Saturday: http://www.fright-rags.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=27&reviews_id=10 Figured some of you other enjoyers of slasher movies might want one.

It looks like the Fright Night remake is still on: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/43039 The original is still one of my favorite vampire movies, but I can understand the interest in bringing the basic plot to a newer audience. The only way this is going to be decent, though, is if they nail the casting of the new Peter Vincent.

Yeah, I'm willing to give this remake a chance, but the lovely effects of that scene in the trailer scared me. I can only hope that they are REALLY unfinished. Off subject, does anyone know if there are any plans for a [REC] 2 release in the US, DVD or otherwise? I've been looking forward to seeing that one for awhile. live nudes fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Feb 27, 2010 |

QPZIL posted:The latest I've heard on the remake is that it's starting production late this year, the story will have nothing to do with the original book ("out of respect for Barker's work" or something), and the concept art for Pinhead looks like this: Jesus. I remember when being a cenobite used to mean something in this town.

I managed to catch Kidnapped recently. It has a level of brutality that I haven't seen since Inside, so if you dig those kinds of movies, you're in for a treat. This one was well made all around, especially the fact that it had several very long scenes that were done in a single take. It's not used as a crutch or a gimmick, though. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed it, even if I did have to go for a long walk and call my parents to tell them I loved them afterward.

haunted sleep posted:Why? I saw [REC] before Quarantine. I don't think one is better than the other, really. I don't think either is terrible, but ultimately they're both rather forgettable. Sorry, but the last 10 minutes of [REC] easily push it beyond the "forgettable" mark for me. Genre fans aren't exactly flush with quality films, so I think it's important to give the well-crafted ones credit where credit is due. Even if you hate the found footage movies as a whole, I think [REC} did a heck of a lot of things right.

Drunkboxer posted:I haven't built up the motivation to watch the American [Rec] or the American Let the Right One In. Should I bother? They aren't bad by any stretch, they just don't have much different from the originals. For some reason I thought Matt Reeves was going to do his own adaptation of the book for Let Me In, but it was reeeaaaly close in style and tone to the Swedish movie.

Craig Spradlin posted:Okay, my (purely speculative) take: This is more or less what I got out of it, but there's one thing I couldn't figure out - was Shel (the wife) in on it? She seemed to insist that he finish the contract after it went off the rails, and she was laughing when Jay stabbed her to death. If she was in on it, though, I don't get why she was gunning the cult members down as they broke into the cottage.

You guys have me really excited for Cabin in the Woods. This could turn out to be a really amazing year for genre movies if even half of them turn out to be good.

Xenomrph posted:For all of us who got to see R-rated movies at a young age, why do you think that was? Cool parents, naive/ignorant parents, parents who just didn't care, etc? We had one of those independently-owned video rental places in the town I grew up in. Me and my friends would go in every week and rent a bunch of R-rated movies and they wouldn't question us. I guess money was money. We'd watch them at my house before my parents got home from work. I saw every 80s horror, sci-fi and fantasy movie imaginable by the time I was 13. Even at a young age we were able to appreciate the movies as works of fiction with great practical effects, and not feel the need to act them out in real life. The only one that really disturbed me was A Clockwork Orange. Even to this day I can't remember why we rented it. The VCR tape cover wasn't particularly interesting. I think it was because the name didn't make any sense. We'd been through pretty much every other movie in the place by then. Anyway, that one stayed with me for awhile, despite its lack of monsters or gore.

Here's a trailer for a new movie called Mama. I didn't know it existed until I saw the trailer this morning, but I'm really intrigued. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Am7i7uM9r0

Here's another great horror trailer. I have to say that this is one of the most effective uses of sound editing I've seen in awhile. It completely sells you on the film without a single word. I actually looked over my shoulder a couple of times after this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0cRjDrCezc

I once rented Puppet Masters 1 through 5 and watched them all in a weekend. No idea why I did that, but I haven't had any interest in revisiting the franchise.

The Senator Giroux posted:Hasn't been posted yet, but it looks like we're getting another Friday the 13th reboot, this time (most likely) in found footage flavor. Huh...I'd heard this rumor months ago, but I always thought it would be a sequel to the 2009 reboot. That one was pretty good, I don't see why they'd have to reboot it yet again.
