It's safe to assume everyone in the Final Destination universe dies in a Rube Goldenberg cold-open calamity. The cold open calamities are not the result of the victims scorning death, so that just must be the way things work for everyone. When your time is up, a horn startles a chicken who lays an egg which rolls down a chute and knocks over a stick supporting a bowling ball, and 10 minutes later you're bumped into a wood chipper.

Baron von Eevl posted:F13 is where my mind goes when I think of an original movie in a franchise that is disproportionately lovely compared to it's cultural awareness. F13 my be the only movie greatly improved by Me Too. Pamela Vorhees isn't the villain, it's the patriarchy. It's the horror of being a woman in the early 80's.

Hell House LLC. III definitely has some problems. However, horror fans should make every effort to visit the interactive theater in New York City the plot is based on, The McKittrick Hotel: https://mckittrickhotel.com/events/sleep-no-more/#/ Sleep No More is Macbeth performed in real time inside a prohibition-era haunted house that spans two floors of an old warehouse. It's absolutely amazing and the scope is huge. You can freely explore a creepy antique dentist office, apothecary, hospital. Guests wear Venetian masks and aren't allowed to speak. As you witness the events of the play, it's as if the characters are surrounded by voyeuristic ghosts, and you're one of them.

weekly font posted:Okay finding out Hell House 3 cribs from Sleep No More is the first thing that’s made me want to see it Let me talk you out of it then. In the movie version of sleep no more, the cast and crew are rank amateurs performing in a DIY haunt. I felt like I needed to come to the thread to defend Sleep No More.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:Looking at my list of movies I've rated 4 stars and above alone you have Perfect Blue, Wild Zero, Audition, Misery, Nightbreed, Fire Walk With Me, The Blair Witch Project, Lost Highway, From Dusk Til Dawn, Curse, Darkman, The People Under The Stairs, Tammy & The T-Rex, and Scream, with way more just under that I'd still consider fun and memorable and worth watching. For all the guff the decade gets I really think that when it hit, it delivered. Of course, two of those are restored or director's cuts, but still. These movies may be good, and they may be made in the 90's, but you can't have a 90's brand movie without a morph. Wishmaster, Hellraiser 3, Sleepwalkers, Lawnmower Man, Freddy's Dead and one of the Puppet Master sequels are proper 90's horror. If you don't have a morph you can still be 90's horror if you include at least one ghost who shakes their head back and forth real quick or if a sequel in your franchise goes To The City followed by a sequel that goes To Space.

The Hausu Usher posted:It might be hard to remember what the landscape of horror was like in the early-2010's, but outside of a couple gems, it mainly sucked. Cabin in the Woods kind of summed it up and felt like a call to arms to let's get nuts. You might be thinking of the early 00's, because the late 00's and early 10's were one of my favorite moments for horror. Netflix streaming had just become viable and I remember discovering tons of creative indie DV horror movies. Think Pontypool, Absentia, Yellowbrick Road, Grave Encounters, The Signal, House of the Devil, Lake Mungo. It was like the rulebook was thrown out and every movie was a unique experience.

Nope was a brilliant retelling of the Monkey's Paw. Did everyone pick up on when each character made their wish and what it was?

TitusGroen posted:I"d love to hear this breakdown! Maybe I'll rewatch NOPE before checking in on the thread again... My interpretation is that Jupe, OJ and Keke make their wish when they name the UFO. All the wishes come true, and with the same beats as the Monkey's Paw story. It's just a theory, but it explains the TMZ guy, who along with the newscast of the missing persons is the ironic fulfillment of Jupe's wish. It also makes the Haywood Ranch's motivation more noble, because their wish is not fame or fortune, but to recover stolen promises. The other thing that clicks for me with this theory is it reveals OJ and Keke to be unreliable narrators. They tell you they want fame and fortune, but what Keke really wants is to train the horse she was promised and what OJ really wants is to be respected at his job, and not replaced by camels (or CG).
