Tremors remains the Platonic ideal of a creature feature Barbarian (Hulu) was insane lol. I somehow avoided spoilers for The Good Stuff. Love how the movie shows you AJ is a massively unperceptive self-centered horrible person but he clearly has no clue; nobody thinks they’re the villain after all. Pretty drat funny at times too.

Shrecknet posted:who is a non-horror director who you'd like to see take on a horror project? Not my idea, but Jim Henson’s Creature Shop working on a kaiju movie would have been amazing. They could have pulled off some insane giant puppet thing for Godzilla to fight Edit: for that matter, them making any large monster in a horror movie would have been amazing too. Thinking of something like the giant thing at the end of Species II

ScootsMcSkirt posted:whats the best place to start for Benson and Moorhead? Resolution, The Endless, and Something in the Dirt are more or less connected Spring & Synchronic are far more standalone; they may have some tiny references to past movies but nothing that matters. Synchronic is the biggest departure for their style and also the weakest.

Xiahou Dun posted:Is there some deep lore reason for why the Nostromo has a wet-chain tunnel with potable (?!?) water just falling on some concrete from a great height? The giant thing in that room is the landing gear. I don’t think I’ve heard any theories about the water, but in-universe options I can think of: * it was cold on LV-426; the landing gear is freezing and it’s water condensation * it’s the air handler dealing with the remnants of the atmosphere (that room would have been exposed to the surface) * the air handler / humidifier system is just broken The chains don’t make any sense, nor should that door have been open unless the alien opened it. That entire deck would have been exposed to the planetoid atmosphere if the doors weren’t sealed. You would think Brett would have remarked on that.

Baron von Eevl posted:I've heard "the room is so big it has weather." That’s a real thing that can happen, but that room is way too small for that. quote:When the humidity is high in the Airdock, a sudden change in temperature causes condensation. This condensation falls in a mist, creating the illusion of rain, according to the designer.

Halloween 2018 Halloween Halloween 4 … I don’t care … RZ Halloween 2 I realized I don’t really care about this franchise. I watched Halloween after a lot of the things it influenced and it didn’t make a big impact on me.

SneakySneaks posted:I'm in a mood for a good investigation horror (supernatural basis, not serial killer like Zodiac, Seven, Memories of Murder, Chaser) after watching Mirrors of all things. Despite being a middle of the road movie, the Esseker stuff hit a sweet spot for me and I'm looking something with a similar creepy vibe, but I think I've seen most of the good/decent ones. I've seen most of the J-Horror Movies (and remakes), Empty Man, Cure for Wellness, A Record of a Sweet Murder, Seance, Incantation, Session 9, Cure. Are there more films along those lines that keep in paranormal? Lord of Illusions

I bailed on Upstream Color and after it was later revealed how skeevy the director was I’m never going to revisit it Most of the horror stuff I turn off is because I’m falling asleep  I revisit some of them though. I think as I get older, junk movies just aren’t that fun a lot of the time. Demon Wind was the last one I remember. I did eventually finish it but I wasn’t exactly glued to the screen.

alf_pogs posted:i'd love an adaptation of Hellstar Remina, that poo poo gets whacky and wild I don’t know if scary is the right word for that one necessarily but it’s so weird and bleak and kind of gross that it did leave an impression on me. Everyone is hopelessly doomed by the end and they’re fully aware of it. Letting you imagine their various deaths is worse than actually showing them.

Basebf555 posted:What's the consensus on The Prophecy 2 and 3? There's a 4k set coming out but I've never seen any of the sequels. Although, as a physical media person, my experience tells me that when a box set gets released without the option to buy each film individually that usually means there's some garbage in there that they know wouldn't sell on it's own. DTV trash, but not completely awful. Neither are as good as the first and that one isn’t exactly a classic to begin with. Walken is barely in 3 and I remember that one being pretty dull.

There’s no substance to that film, just mediocre actors on top of that somewhat exhausting Seth Ickerman visual style. Watching the Turbo Killer video 10x and imagining your own backstory would be a far superior experience https://youtu.be/er416Ad3R1g?si=yDDq8XoBM0tgI46M

A Fancy Hat posted:[Land of the Dead] just kinda feels like a rough draft of an AMAZING movie, which is mostly due to studio interference and budget cuts. Did the studio really mess with him, or was it just a modest budget to start with? Wikipedia mentioned that Fox was somehow trying to get rights to the franchise by insisting it be titled “Night of the Living Dead” which is why he went with Universal.

Anybody seen the TV series Werewolf from 1987? It’s probably most notable for being part of the original Fox lineup when the network launched. A college kid gets turned by his infected roommate, kills him, and tries to hunt down the originator of the bloodline while in turn being hunted by a bounty hunter (named Joe Rogan of all things). They wisely don’t tie the cycle to the full moon so people transform when convenient for the plot. Werewolves designed by Rick Baker, although these are the discount specials with minimal facial movements and they kind of look like wolf gorillas. I’m digging it so far. Outside of the pilot movie which was a bit padded, episodes are a brisk 23 minutes. I can’t remember the last time I saw a show that wasn’t a comedy with runtimes like that. The limited budget means the soundtrack is either synth stuff or an 80s guitar thing which adds to the vibes. Chuck Connors is a mean looking mofo as the Big Bad, and I think he gets replaced by Brian Thompson in S2. I’m just watching VHS rips on YouTube so the quality is rear end but it helps mask the effects. Tons of smoky night shots.

“Jaws at Sea World” should be cool but just isn’t. It’s the type of movie where if you saw it on a weekend afternoon on TV when you were a kid it seemed really awesome but it absolutely does not hold up.
