I think it has more in common with early Michael Bay films than Terrence Malick, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_sUlupV48I


I don't really see it. The Man of Steel teaser is really trying to to be as low key as possible while that clip is Michael Bay trying waay to hard say that this is important, this matters, a thousand Hindus are hoping that Bruce Willis drills that asteroid hard.

Killing Them Softly. Director of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford working with Pitt again and bringing along James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, Ben Mendelsohn and Sam Shepard? I'm really, really sold. Heard great things about it and the trailer works for me.

Possibly the best action film of this year came out on VOD yesterday, and you will want to see it after watching this new trailer.

That's pretty much Hypnotoad: The Movie. Even though I'm not epileptic that was seriously uncomfortable to watch.

Not a different take so much as a different style. The original Evil Dead was played straight, but it's still obvious that they were having fun making it.

Well, maybe Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell did. For the rest of the people involved it was a pretty miserable affair.

I thought the remake of "The Ring" was a lot better than the original. Like, a lot.
The remake loses all subtlety that original had, everything have to be super scary and shocking. A good example is the death faces. In the original the victims looks like something bad happened to them but the remake makes it so over the top that it almost becomes funny:

Well, when you freeze frame it like that, yeah. In the remake it's edited in such a way that it looks like something really horrible happened to the characters, but you don't get a good enough look to judge for yourself and are left with a fleeting glimpse of someone's scary death face.
That's the thing though, it isn't just a quick glimpse. It's like the movie doesn't trust the audience to understand that the movie is supposed to be scary so they ramp everything the gently caress up to get the point across.

Actually Good horror movies made since 2005: The Babadook, Let [The Right One / Me] In, Drag Me to Hell.

Good movies for horror fanatics: Antichrist, You're Next, Cabin in the Woods, arguably As Above, So Below.


Also: À l'intérieur, Martyrs, The Lords of Salem, Juan of the Dead.

I get the feeling that this movie will be a boring romance drama for the first two acts, with the "horror" of the third act that will be too late to really make up for the first two. Nothing really stands out as being particularly intriguing. All it really does is make me want to rewatch Let The Right One In.

These are the guys that made Resolution, based on that I'm willing to give this a chance.
