Speaking of trailers I asked my wife if she wanted to watch Ravenous with me and I showed her the trailer. The trailer was so bad it made me reevaluate my memory of the movie. Like I don’t remember the movie being hokey but the trailer sure makes it looks that way

No, it's just a notoriously bad trailer.

I doing think it's really fair to call the Amityville movies a series or a franchise. It's like calling any movie with "Dead" in the title part of the Night Of The Loving Dead series.

edit although imagining the dead returning back on land while Nicole Kidman tries to deal with some losers on a boat is pretty funny

When I was that age my father showed me Jaws. It was a different time.

When I was really little I was a wuss too, I got really scared watching ET when the government agents are trying to get ET and he's almost dead when I was about this age. By the time I was 10 I was watching Aliens, Terminator, Predator, Rocky Horror, and Army of Darkness.

Yes, I know, one of these things is not like the other.

The original is my favorite too, by a large margin. I don't know what it is, but it hits that perfect spot of being charming and genuinely inventive while also being kind of ridiculous but not trying to make it a joke.

I hypothetically do, in that I own a DVD that sits in a plastic shell covered in polyester batting and surrounded by very fine particles of rubber. ED2 also.

When I was in college we showed ED on VHS in my dorm about a million times.

I saw the play in 2007 when it was off broadway in new york, sat in the splatter zone. Unfortunately we discovered we were at the very end of the row and didn't get hit with any incidental splatter until the climax when one of the actors chucked a nearly-full blood bag directly at us. We went out to the bars covered in the corn syrup blood afterwards.

Rewatched The Descent last night, which I last saw about 16 years ago. At the time I watched it, the cave-in scene near the beginning was the first and only time I'd had a panic attack during a movie. Anyway it's still got it, jesus christ.

Paranormal Activity is explicit (maybe the sequels made this explicit?) that it's not a haunted house, it's a haunted lady with haunted artifacts.

I have a much bigger problem with Halloween Kills. I actually think the whole thing would've left a much better taste in my mouth had they just done Halloween and Halloween Ends, two films instead of a trilogy. Kills was just goofy as hell and not in a good way. Goofy and Michael Myers isn't a good combo.

I thought Kills just showed that they didn't ever really understand what made Halloween work, both '78 and '18.

Vast of Night is really impressive on a technical level and I dig the vibe of it but there aren't really any incredible scares and they kind of fumble the climax.

Also the weird TV screen framing scenes do nothing.

Tempted to say it doesn't count. It's like considering every Pinocchio film part of a franchise.

It's less connected than Pinocchio, because at least they acknowledge that they're roughly adapting the same source material. The connection for the Amityville movies is somewhere between saying all movies about WW2 are related, all movies that take place in New York are related, and Asylum mockbusters being related to the original thing they're ripping off. It's kind of amazing.

The name Amityville is public domain because it's the name of a place and as long as you're making a movie about that place it's reasonable to call it that. It also just happens to have enough cultural cache that people will hear it and immediately think of the thing with the house. So they have to pretend that they're not at all talking about the thing with the house, and instead just talking about some other things with other houses that are also in a place called Amityville, but they do that knowing that absolutely everyone will think of the thing with the house. It's incredible really.

It's like making a series of adventure movies that take place during the Jurassic and calling them like "Jurassic Lark" and "Parked in the Jurassic" and it's just people surviving dinosaurs, and a judge deciding that's totally cool and not at all stealing from Jurassic Park.
