Crescent Wrench posted:I've got Noroi on my watchlist already, but will his films appeal to someone with a general... ahem... distaste for found footage? What makes Shiraishi's work better than the standard found footage fare is that his stuff always includes strong characters, an engaging story, and humor. You aren't just looking at a video tape of somebody's bedroom waiting for something spooky to happen, you're enjoying it at the basic level you enjoy a regular movie. He's also a master of escalation. A big problem I have with a lot of found footage movies, especially in the wake of Paranormal Activity, is how often the plot is just a ghost demon doing random poo poo for no reason until the movie ends and everybody dies. Shiraishi doesn't do that poo poo, he takes you on an adventure.

I know that this is the only thing I ever talk about, but I just had a thought about the Senritsu Kaiki File series. Is it the best use of the series format of any horror movie series? Other horror movie series tend to start with an idea, and then future sequels try to do that idea again but bigger or in a new way or just the same again. But every Senritsu Kaiki entry adds more to the world, continues the story of our characters, slowly draws the shape of the horror, without ever over explaining or undercutting a previous entry.

Opopanax posted:I think a lot of Horror is set in the 80s/90s so they don't have to explain why people don't have cell phones with them at all times I feel like the key to cellphones is just to create stories where the cellphones can't help. Like, if a werewolf is hunting you now and you're an hour's drive from anywhere, you can call for help but you still need to come up with a solution for the current predicament.

I feel like there's a lot of easy low budget horror movie ideas about people trapped in a dust storm in the 19302.

CelticPredator posted:I don’t like athat movie bc it’s boring as hell but i appreciate it sticking to the medium. WNUF kinda stumbled in a couple places for me. It didn't really nail the verisimilitude because the commercials weren't right. There would have been national commercials for big brands, not just local stuff. I understand why they weren't included, but it still made the thing ring a little false. The other thing is that the ending twist didn't work for me at all. That's way too much plot, and too much easy cinematic resolution.

Has anyone else ever seen The Booth? It's a I think early 2000s Japanese movie about a radio call-in show that gets a call-in from a ghost. Aside from the intro I think it's actually done in real time, or close to it.

Traditionally thrillers are explicitly allowed in the October Challenge Horror Thread The definition of horror that thread uses is pretty dang broad, to avoid arguments, and conjoined genres like thriller and kaiju are just included wholesale so people don't have to, like, parse which Godzilla movies counts as horror and which don't.

Shrecknet posted:bro what is your baseline? I'm six minutes in and about to vomit, we've got a self-facing cell video on bumpy bus to open the movie, as well as multiple cave-ins/times that are just "rocks falling around darkness and you can't see poo poo but like, one red light" The first time I watched As Above, So Below I mentally categorized it as a dumb movie like ten minutes in when they translate an ancient Aramaic poem and it rhymes in English.

Hollismason posted:I think Dracula 2000 needs a re-examine. I was prepared for a trash fire but taken as a direct homage to Hammer Horror of the 60s and 70s it really meets those standards. You've got a insane back story. Excellent upcoming actors. Very bloody. A actual honest attempt to add something to the Dracula mythos. I was just thinking that Dracula 1972 blows it out of the water. Give any Hammer director those actresses playing evil sexy vampires, they would have done so much better with that material.

STAC Goat posted:Supernatural isn’t quite 90s but definitely fits as horror tv you can turn on and half watch and just zone in for the really good stuff and end of episode meta plot recaps. And there’s like 13 seasons of it so it will last. Worth noting, it does seem like if you watch more than ten episodes of Supernatural you become maniacally obsessed with it and start writing Omegaverse fanfiction.

I’m watching Body Melt. Someone in the October Challenge thread criticized it for filling time with bad comedy about normal Australians, and on the one hand I understand the complaint but on the other hand I’m now reconsidering my view of Australians.

Occult has almost no shaky cam because most of the filming is done by a professional camera man.

oh god, there's one more thing I forgot to mention about Satanic Panic. OK, so the movie ends with the hero quitting her job to follow her dream of moving to Australia, with the last shot being her riding her scooter out of the city, with the visual implication being that she intends to ride her scooter from Dallas to Australia. But there's one more aspect of that scene that I forgot to mention. Near the end of the movie she rescues a little bunny. And she is carrying it in her jacket on her final shot triumphant ride to Australia. She's going to try to move to Australia, taking a rabbit with her. loving hell, what a lovely movie.
