I'v eyet to see timecrimes, but I really liked Triangle, and enjoyed all the little bits and bobs that you might otherwise not notice over the course of the movie. It's pretty cool.

ravenkult posted:You are all criminals for thinking Triangle is better than Timecrimes. Triangle is a movie I've seen at least five better versions of. Oh no bad things happen and then they repeat, what an original idea! What are five better movies than triangle? Because I enjoyed the hell out of Triangle, and might be interested in seeing other movies like it that aren't Timecrimes.

Skyscraper posted:I disliked Timecrimes for the same reason I disliked Tucker and Dale vs Evil: Once you understand the premise, all that remains is seeing what kind of crazy contortions the writers are going to have to put the story through to get there. It's entertaining, sure, but not as a story. Whereas, I thought Triangle was actually an effective horror movie. Well...Tucker and Dale was a straight up hooror, with all the tropes that established genre has. It's great they were kinda funny about it, but if you're watching that movie expecting to be blown away by the plot of it or Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Friday the Thirteenth then you just should lower your expectations of what a straight horror gets you. I mean, it was basically a comedy sendup of TCM, which itself had no loving point. It's really not a 'smart' genre. There are some great twists off that genre, like Cabin in the woods, but those are hybrids. Drifter fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Mar 11, 2014 |

I remember reading the Watcher - about the GMO'd smart-dog and some dude named Travis and really liked it. Of course I read it when I was 13 or 14. Good times. If you could date a ghost I would imagine it would keep your dates pretty cheap. Everything but rent, once it got serious, I guess. Having two incomes is nice.

Basebf555 posted:Well you're taste is fairly similar to mine, I don't think Cabin in the Woods is an all-time great like you do, even so the movies you list are some of my recent favorites too. I was pretty disappointed by The Conjuring as well. I wouldn't say It follows was tense at all, but I would say there was a pretty palpable sense of dread throughout. Just the acceptance of the existence of this force of (super)nature.

Oculus was weird because they were set to destroy the mirror, but then she wanted to videotape it to prove to people it was real or whatever which made the process last a long time and gave way to their eventual defeat. I kinda liked the movie, I guess, sorta, but it was just really loving dumb. Like, mirror doesn't care. Mirror just wants to kill you. Mike Myers isn't going to be shamed and aww shucks his way through a To Catch A Predator interview when they ambush him in a deserted house. I guess it was a cautionary tale about pride and our need for relevance.

Snak posted:Were't they trying to prove their father's innocence, or something? It's been awhile, so I don't remember all the finer details of the premise. This wasn't an 'evil dead' or 'The Conjuring' type of haunting, I'm much more sympathetic to people caught up in the middle of rampaging ghost kids and plates thrown through the air than I am about a girl who devises a plan over the course of years and then decides that she needs to destroy a thing that can mind control you in the vicinity of the thing that mind controls you. It was pretty gross/cool when she thought she was eating an apple, but not, at least. It was a movie I would have liked more if... I don't know. The premise was fuckin' tight, at least.
