The Friday the 13th remake has an entire Friday the 13th sequel compressed into its opening. That's hard to beat.

Absolutely. I recall that Zombie wanted to make a hockey movie and got turned down, and soon after made 31. The movie feels like his response was "So you only want me to make Rob Zombie Style Horror Movies? Okay, here's your Rob Zombie Style Horror Movie gently caress you pay me."

I still haven't seen Heavenly Creatures. I suspect his work on The Frighteners played a role in getting him LotR as well. That was a good movie, though very different from what I suspected.

In that case your problem is that nothing you do will be as viscerally terrifying as the best known police bodycam videos.

Coffee And Pie posted:I’m not sure I really understand the whole killing zombies=murdering minorities connection? Besides, most (good) zombie movies aren’t about the zombies at all. Zizek has talked about zombies as creatures of "pure habit," about how a zombie isn't frightening because it's alien, but because it's the "zero level" of humanity with all the higher functions and behaviours stripped away. I think there's an interesting point in that: if you watch Night of the Living Dead, a great deal of the horror rests on people seeing a familiar human being reduced to the level of a zombie. That still pops up in newer zombie movies as a brief, almost obligatory cliche, but you see more and more focus on following the formula where the heroes build a barricade and fight to keep the horde at bay. That plays into a particularly American type of reactionary politics. (And props HUNDU for posting our brave IDF.) But a lot of this ideology isn't in the movies themselves--I have seen forums where preppers and wannabe preppers posted their lovely tacticLOL assault rifle or shotgun that they called their "zombie killer," with optional backup katana. People are watching these movies and taking all the wrong lessons. I've been following some leftists doing disaster relief and other forms of mutual aid, and one of the things I've learned is that people aren't anywhere near as lovely to each other in disaster situations as post-apocalyptic media would have you believe. (And, historically, people who barricade themselves in a remote stronghold actually do far worse in failed states than tight-knit urban communities.) I'm a big fan of 80s-90s post-apoc movies, and I've noticed that they fall into two types: the Escape from New York style where social collapse has left a precarious society with a failing tyrannical state, and the Mad Max style where there simply is no society and no production, just scavenging and looting. In the United States, the latter has had far more popular influence.

From a political point of view, it's actually quite forgivable in the Resident Evil movies because in most of them, the horror of zombiedom is of being absorbed into the Umbrella Corporation itself. The antagonist is the Red Queen and the zombies are just extensions of Her will. In this particular film, the zombies are clones, and even when they're shown to have human consciousness, it's essentially an instance of a program on a computer.

Does anybody else want to share some B-movies you've seen recently that surprised you with how good they were? This year I finally got around to seeing Waxwork, and I was blown away by the criminally neglected Class of 1999.

There are actually a fuckton of detective stories in supernatural horror. For ones where the protagonist is conducting an investigation, but not a detective: Cigarette Burns and The Ninth Gate*. I second the recommend for Lord of Illusions. *Roman Polanski is a pedophile

From what I remember, SH1 was well-made, with some stunning effects design that really got the way the video games had those elements play into the plot and characterization. Its major drags were 1. costuming choices that were too faithful to the games in a way that made the movie ridiculous, like the Stripper Cop, and 2. a huge Matrix Reloaded style exposition dump at the end of the movie, which presumes you're a moron and comes across like someone reading you a Fandom wiki ("The barbed wire monster is of symbolize the abusive janitor").

I'm loathe to use that old cliche "it's a thrill ride," but the second Silent Hill was marketed as a 3d movie, and it mostly feels like a cheesy RE-themed amusement park ride.

Boondock Saints doesn't advocate murdering people you don't like. Sometimes it's okay to just punch them out. Like if a woman is gay, or ugly, or talking too much.

Ebert nailed itquote:The lads are loyal to the church in the same way their fans are loyal to Da Bears. They aren't players themselves, but it's their team and don't mess with it. They do hold a quasi-religious ceremony, standing in a circle with a pal and vowing to never, ever, stop smoking or drinking or attend an AA meeting. Drinking doesn't bother them, anyway. They chug whiskey like Gatorade. The only thing that bothers them, and they're super sensitive about this, is the slightest suggestion that they're gay.

Kvlt! posted:to be fair to me watching it as a little 10 year old who grew up in Boston it was just a cool action movie about people shooting mobsters i never really analyzed it or thought about it as anything other than a fun movie with cool fights I don't think it contains a single shot where someone fires a gun at someone else and they get hit. Everything is shot reverse shot.
