Second Creep is pretty dece too. Edit: Now that I think about it 1408 was a pretty good King adaptation. The first half is genuinely great at building sense of dread but sadly I guess they wanted to make the second half exciting so it becomes very meh. Still not bad though. sad question fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Jun 19, 2021 |

Talk of foreign horror films reminded me of Under The Shadow. It's about a family getting hassled by a djinn during Iranian war. It was pretty good. One of the movies where the anxiety of real world situation is as scary as supernatural.

magikid posted:Honest question: what would the most shameless jump scare be? Really obvious and predictable, but it goes for it anyway? Or an ordinary peaceful scene that suddenly slams you out of nowhere? Because that one in The Ring, that was some poo poo. As for what a shameless jump scare is, to me it's a mix of two factors: 1) putting it in a really obvious moment where everyone can see it coming and it's impossible that director doesn't realize that we know 2) making it even louder and in your face than an average jump scare, possibly in an effort to overcome the predictability by turning up intensity. Sinister in particular has a couple that might as well show a countdown culminating with a guy jumping from off screen and yelling ooga booga booga. You can watch the ending jump scare on youtube - it's comical.

Deep Blue Sea was pretty good about zigging when you expected it to zag. Great main theme too. Edit: Since we're talking about "people getting hassled by animals" genre Crawl was solid recentish movie about alligators who take advantage of a flood to gently caress up a town. sad question fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Jul 20, 2021 |
