shoeberto posted:I never saw it but wasn't 1 Hour Photo kinda sold like that? It's been many years since I saw it, but yeah, it skirts closer to horror than thriller, I think (mainly cause it's from the 'bad guy's' perspective). Very tense, though the ending isn't really mean enough.

CelticPredator posted:New short film! Hopefully you dig it. It’s a bit ambitious in places but idk. It was fun to make and it cost 200 bucks. How much of the budget was beer?  Holy poo poo, that was great. The alien in the house was super creepy and I loved the goopy stuff. Great finale and I appreciate dodging the cliché "drop my cup from shock so it shatters on the ground" shot.

My older brother loooved both Weekend At Bernie's movies. I haven't seen them for like 30 years, but sometimes a piece of dialogue will still pop up in my head. "Hey, don't you point at me, Charles!" "Point-point-point-point-point-point-point-POINT!" I think in 2, a woman actually has sex with Bernie's dead body.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:That happens in 1, actually. I watched it for the first time yesterday and...well, it kinda sucks. It has a premise that has lasted and that's it. Bernie doesn't even die until an hour in and the entire thing has no energy at all. It feels like it should be a screwball comedy but the funniest part of the movie is when the end credits hit and you realize that the Costume Supervisor was named Dick Butz. Holy poo poo, lol, I certainly did not remember that.

In the trailer thread, kiimo, who works on the campaign for the movie, mentioned this: kiimo posted:Marketing. We can’t even use the color purple. The fact that we got tubular bells was a miracle The studio making a new Exorcist sequel wants the trailer to remind you as little about the 70s movie as possible because that makes sense in some cokebrain's coke brain.

Jedit posted:I was a year younger than your nephew when Ghostbusters came out, and will attest that the library ghost put the shitters up me. The cabbie was also pretty disturbing. The rest was quite mild, though. Yeah, I kinda wish we'd tried sticking with it, but it was his parents' call. Maybe he'd have found Zuul attacking Dana quite scary, but the scene where they catch Slimer is great fun, the Zuul chasing Lewis isn't so bad cause he's a funny character, and surely he'd have loved the giant marshmallow man. Oh well, maybe some other time.

I really enjoyed Cobweb, it's hard not to like Antony Starr and Lizzy Caplan as psycho parents, but I feel like it went on too long, even though it's under the 90 minute mark. I appreciate a good "you fool, I was holding them back" type of story, but it really should've ended once Peter realized his sister was a monster kept locked away for good reason. The extended scene of her taking out the very persistent bullies felt overlong, I feel the contortionist with long hair has reeeaaally been overdone for horror movies, the reveal that she had a jack-o-lantern face made me laugh, and the whole thing with Miss Devine coming back to save him felt very much like this movie tried for a more mean-spirited Roald Dahl. Speaking of which, it made me laugh pretty hard that the old teacher was called Miss Bitler, and she was being replaced by Miss Devine (boioioing).

Punkin Spunkin posted:It's not too like, 90s Tarantino derivative is it? Heard people describe it as an "edgy" film. I always dig a solid Kiefer role though, he's so fun in Phone Booth and Dark City. I think my sister bought in on VHS when we were teens, the cover referenced Natural Born Killers (because Oliver Stone was a producer). It does have that same kind of exaggerated reality, just without the hallucinatory effects. Didn't immediately click for me until I realized they were doing Little Red Riding Hood, On Crack! But it is a lot of fun once you realize it's just an outrageous movie. Not just Witherspoon and Sutherland, but also a young Brittany Murphy and Brooke Shields!

Threw on the Pope's Exorcist. I'm already loving Russel Crowe getting his rear end chewed out by a council of superiors (or really just one unreasonably young guy). "You're a loose confessional, Amorth! The big man upstairs won't stand for any more of these lone wolf exorcisms! I've got the Pope so far up my rear end, you'd think I was back to being an altar boy! Now I want your crucifix, and I want your bible! And this time, take out the bookmark!"

Trip report: fun, though I'm a little saddened it treats the Exorcist as the blueprint for how a possession horror movie should go, as do many other exorcism movies. Then it turns into a full on Stephen Sommers movie in the final act. Not bad.

I was watching Smile and it occurred to me that I'd had it mixed up in my head the 2018 Truth or Dare, so I watched that next. Whaaat a piece of poo poo. Terrible effects (the main character even calls attention to it by saying "it was like a snapchat filter!" after facing a bunch of rictus grin people), boring, dull characters, lame ending. Quite liked Smile though. I read people complain about its jumpscares, but they were so telegraphed I didn't mind them. Ending's wild and I loved the creepy soundtrack.

Origami Dali posted:The military base setting is really what kills 3. Such a drab environment full of assholes. The amusement park at the end is super cool, but it's too little too late. Should've set the whole movie there and just done a Ghoulies 2 remake with Chucky. This nails it for me. 3 is still a fine movie to watch, but the restrictiveness of the setting holds it back. I saw the later ones completely out of order, but I really liked the addition of Fiona Dourif to the franchise.

feedmyleg posted:I watched it a couple years for the first time. I'm still shocked it's so underseen and underrated. It definitely belongs up there next to The Fly and The Thing in the 80s horror remake pantheon. It feels practically forgotten outside of this thread, though. Absolutely agreed. I remembered to pick Chucky season 2 back up with the announcement of the 3rd season. I got a little out of it halfway through, but christ, the joy and pleasure of making this show just explodes off the screen. It's so absolutely silly and ridiculous and fun.
