Where the movie really messed up was how the pothead chose to not die to save the world, since usually stoners are all depressed and suicidal from addiction.

I feel like the only person who did not enjoy this movie, but I walked into the theater expecting something completely different than what actually happened, and I have not revisited it. quote:As Above, So Below is a 2014 American horror film written and directed by John Erick Dowdle and co-written by his brother Drew. It is presented as found footage of a documentary crew's experience exploring the Catacombs of Paris. The fi… Nope.

Cabin in the woods was never once actually scary so I wouldn't classify it as a horror movie. It was more of a dark comedy

vols bitch posted:it was a bad movie, you're welcome op The fact that the movie had a purge all monsters button is the best thing about it. I was thinking "Man, it'd be cool if those monsters got out". And then that button was there. Thanks Based Whedog and Goddogerd.

When found footage is done well, it is extremely good (As Above, So Below, REC) but most of the genre is trash. I knew nothing about the movie when I went to see it and was expecting it to be played straight, which is probably why I was so turned off. I keep meaning to watch it again, but effort.

A few days after watching It Follows I woke up in the middle of the night to go watch a moon eclipse and walked into my unemployed nerd neighbour standing still in the middle of the lobby, staring straight at me. I got a good approximation of a cardiac arrest I guess. There's something about this movie that stayed with me for a long time.

I liked it a lot when I first saw it, but after rewatching it there are a lot of parts that are just goofy as hell. I didn't really mind the heavy-handed anti-sex thing it had going like some people c omplain about though, I mean there does have to be a premise after all. I just like it less and less every time I see it.

I'm just glad nobody is saying Babadook is the best horror movie of the millenium like tons of people were when it first came out. That is one of the most unpleasant experiences (and not because it was scary) in recent memory for me from a horror movie.

Frankly I'm surprised that none of the people at the facility were an appropriate substitute. There were more than a couple young people working there. Not a single one of them was a fool?

You can't block monsters' egress in the event of a fire. NFPA code.

My guess for the purge button is that it would flood the cabin dome with monsters, definitelY killing the teenagers above ground. But I think the stoner and the virgin broke the elevator by trying to control it? So the monsters got stopped up and overflowed the compound instead.

Toadvine posted:My guess for the purge button is that it would flood the cabin dome with monsters, definitelY killing the teenagers above ground. See, releasing all the monsters above ground would make tons more sense. But even if the elevator thing were true. they only broke one and there were at least eight. Frankly, I don't see why the elevators full of monsters would even be capable of accessing the main facility.

I dunno there's a lot going on in that movie I should re watch it they probably have some throwaway line about elevator maintenance. It's a fun movie, I watched it twice when it played at my campus theater. Everything post-purgebutton was legitimately entertaining.

I was honestly surprised by the ending, the one I saw telegraphed was Shot framed to look like girl will shoot the fool Closeup of barrel to show gunshot from 3/4 front view; shot holds, girl's hands get shaky, look of horror/regret on face, drop pistol shot of fool looking at chest, pan left to show administrator who was shot instead administrator falls into pit rumbling subsides "Huh, I guess she was the fool all along Though in hindsight subverting that test-audience-satisfying drivel was the whole point of the movie

Cabin In the Woods is good in a goofy way. As Above, So Below is a goddamn garbage fire of a movie. Solid horror movies in the last couple years? You could argue the first two have a thriller component to them, but they definitely fall into the realm of the horrific. Kill List I Saw the Devil The Loved Ones It Follows The Innkeepers Southbound
