Has Killer Klowns never gotten a 4K blu-ray release? Thats kind of surprising with how big of a push the IP has had the past two years

I’ve had an idea I’ve wanted to write and flesh out more about how it’s weird how the same small town police are always shocked with a Jason or Myers or insert slasher returns for like Friday the 13th 14: Jason does Taxes and the idea is the towns power structure and government has been paid off by rich parties who basically want the slashers to come back every year as a form blood sport that’s streamed to them via hidden cameras installed around town for gambling purposes and one of the previous victims family member finally starts asking how a slasher can keep coming back to the same town for over a decade yet the literal graveyardsof victims never breaks into the national news

Jump scares are just a tool. Over reliance on a tool isn’t the tools fault, it’s a lack of skill and creativity on part of the person using the tool. Jump scares, when used well, are amazing. The Exorcist 3s jump scare is loving iconic because of how well it’s used and nothing about it feels cheap

From Beyond is one of those movies I’m really glad I have on blu-ray because it’s one of those horror movies that, because it’s not a franchise with a bunch of sequels, constantly disappears from streaming service at the drop of a hat and you can’t really be sure it’s going to return to one

Day of the Dead was weirdly underrated for a while because people expected even more big zombie horde fighting after the climax of Dawn but instead got a much smaller in scope movie but honestly the nihilistic horror of Day is probably one of the best depictions of an actual apocalypse happening with its constant inescapable dread and despair. Every character in the movie feels like they’re one small turn away from suicide

Which is funny cause Land of the Dead was basically made to meet all the then critics of Day and to give people what they said should have been the sequel to Dawn but it resulted in a pretty forgettable movie

16-bit Butt-Head posted:dawn of the dead is still out of print because of the dumbest man alive smh I just ordered a box set of it on Amazon for that’s in 4K, is that like a limited run or something? Return of the Living Dead is actually how I got so deep into all things horror. I was being babysat as a kid by my great grandmother and browsing the VHS tapes she had. She had a copy of Return of the Living Dead 2 and the cover art freaked me out bad. But I started to want to always look at it afterward and eventually snuck the tape home to watch it. Probably warped my small brain but whatever now I want horror mainlined into my mindscape

Erin M. Fiasco posted:The scene with the woman zombie explaining why zombies eat brains is honestly the scariest thing I've ever seen in a horror movie. It unsettles me on the deepest level. It's all so good. It’s such a good scene of just sudden existential dread that pops into the middle of such a goofy movie

Gyro Zeppeli posted:Wasn't the actually good new Invisible Man ostensibly "Dark Universe" too? I’ve had to be a hype man for this movie to get people to watch it because they assume it’s just reheated IP garbage. Never had a movie make me feel a growing unease like this one by slowly panning to like an empty corner of a room. The camera work and sound design are great.

And of course you have people defending it smugly going “What, would you feel better if they paid someone on Fiver to make the art?”. Yes? How is that some kind of gotcha? It’s still an artist getting paid over a computer stealing their art and making a bad, lovely version of it. I don’t know how you can be someone who enjoys movies, something born out of labor from artists, and be fine with AI fuckery. And like someone said earlier, using AI taints the entire production. Using AI for the art because it’s not important well what else did they deem not important? Or what if the next movie they deem more things not important to use AI on?

I’m of the same mind. If a production feels their time is too important and can’t be bothered to make the movie and instead uses some lovely over hyped chat bot algorithm to make parts of it, why should I give that production my time by watching it?

I was gonna pass on Immaculate since I find Scary Nun and spooky Catholicism kinda of boring and overdone but every reviewer and person I’ve seen talking about it all say it’s actually a decent film

Null of Undefined posted:I mean the alternative would be her screaming twice and then birthing a baby, which my wife would just roll her eyes at because births are always one of those things that are shortened for time in movies. I liked that her scene went on uncomfortably long. I also liked that the villain was a mad scientist because I feel like we don't get that enough, despite the fact that men doing experiments on women without their knowledge or consent is a way more present threat in the world than god knocking someone up Yeah, I gotta say after seeing it today I liked that a lot. I was expecting another spooky, paranormal evil nuns movie and I even assumed she was carrying the anti-christ when it was revealed she was pregnant without any sex. When the reveal happened this was just insane people trying to bring about their own baby Jesus and there wasn't anything actually supernatural happening, I actually really happy with the twist. They don't even confirm if that was a real nail of the cross it's simply some relic randomly brought to them they assume is real. On an unrelated note, after seeing the previews in the theater today before Immaculate. There's another quiet place movie coming out? Who is demanding these things?

PKMN Trainer Red posted:I saw Immaculate on Easter in a crowded theater and a (presumably, based on voice) middle aged woman sternly announced, 'You can't do that!' at the end of the movie, and that really bumped it up a couple points for me. I do have to admit when they were leading up to that I was going “No chance in hell, she’s gonna slam it beside the baby. They’re not actually going to do it.” until the rock hit and the screen cut to black. It took me until the credits to realize they actually did it

Horror is paradoxically both horny and unhorny compared to other movies. Horror has always existed in a counter culture, subversive kind of place so it’s always been unabashedly open with sexual stuff but because it is, it doesn’t have that level of pure barely repressed desire for sex other media goes with.

Maxwell Lord posted:Creepypastas came up earlier and I know of two good ones: the cave one mentioned earlier and Dionaea House, which is here: Most creepy pasta stuff falls flat because it’s made by people who have read actually scary creepy pasta and know it’s scary but not why it’s scary. That’s why 99.9% of it “cartoon/video game character with hyper realistic eyes that bleed”

Got back from seeing The First Omen and it’s crazy how both it and Immaculate hit similar story beats and while both are decent I have to give the nod to Immaculate as the better movie. The twist of Margaret being one of the girls created to be the mother of the anti-Christ was so telegraphed it might as well have not been a twist at all. The twist in Immaculate of there actually being nothing supernatural actually going on worked a lot better. If you have to see one spooky nun/religious horror film only, Immaculate would be the better option but my suggestion would to see both if you can. Considering how played out spooky nun/catholic horror felt to me, I’m kinda surprised I now have two I’d recommend so shortly in the same year.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:It's funny, THE FIRST OMEN is undeniably hurt by it being a prequel to anything. If it was THE NUN III I would have been more effusive in my praise. It’s hurt by being a prequel and it’s hurt because the forced ending because it’s a prequel to allow for continuity doesn’t make any sense and doesn’t fit the atmosphere of the rest of the movie. The entire time the first film is happening there’s not one but three people alive who could blow the lid off the entire thing? And the apparently global spanning evil church network that monitors orphans all over the world to make their anti-christ mothers is fine with it and knows? Plus the ending gives a sense of whiplash when Margaret is suddenly this gun-toting tough final girl just doesn’t mesh at all with the rest of the film. It really felt like they were setting her up to be like the Omen version of Sarah Conner with how Brennan was talking to her
