The Horror Thread [ARCHIVED] Movie • Page 115

His next film is an adaptation of Hold the Dark.

 

I've never seen murder party, but I certainly remember the DVD artwork.

 

Anyone in here been watching Fox's The Exorcist? I was really wary of it, but decided to give it a go and I think (so far) it's really well done. Doesn't try to remake the movie/book, just presents the ideas in a new setting. The creepy stuff is creepy, the evil stuff is evil, all-in-all I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

 

The only Red Dragon adaptation needed is the Hannibal one

 

Isn't Manhunter coniderded to be really good?^^^^

 

I liked Manhunter, though I think I saw it before Red Dragon

 

Oh ya it's great and I totally forgot about it. So we've got two amazing ones already.

 

According to Bloody-Disgusting the the unrated version of Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead should be out October 25th.

 

Ya I'm liking it so far too.

 

I didn't know that! sounds like an interesting premise and a different vibe than his other work so can't wait to see it. will be sad if it doesn't have a color in the name though, the use of the colors throughout Blue Ruin and Green Room is really interesting and because it's in the name your brain really pays attention when they come up.

it was really fun! it is a super halloween movie so if you're looking for a halloween movie I would definitely recommend it.

 

I've been waiting forever for this

 

I love good-bad horror movies and wanted to like this soooo bad. Watched it twice. Did nothing for me either time

 

I'm def a fan of the exorcist show so far! The cgi sucks but oh well

 

The Poltergeist remake was fun, thought it never really takes off. There's a substantial middle portion, but the beginning is silly and the ending is a CGI shitfest. I feel like the more I listen to Movie Fights, the more I come up with ideas and pitches to fix films while I'm watching them haha.

 

I was so upset with Sam Rockwell's performance. He can be solid given the right material, but it just wasn't happening here.

 

Yeah, I really like Sam Rockwell but he seemed noticeably disinterested in this. I thought Rosemarie DeWitt was great though

 

So I watched Knock Knock tonight and it was... meh unless it was Roth using it as a satirical take on the torture porn genre he helped market

 

I saw this in my FB feed today, kinda intriguing. Haven't watched any yet, but definitely want to check some out

Thank you for this. I'll be going thru them tomorrow. Looks fun

 

Hush was very good. tightly put together, smart implementation of modern tech without seeming too indulgent or wink-wink, and of course, very cool to see a main deaf character who gets to exist not just as a unique and intelligent take on home invasion protags but also as a meaningful narrative one.

Berberian Sound Studio, meanwhile, was... interesting. very interesting. i adore giallo and this was a neat look at the inner workings of sound in film, as well... but the film ultimately didn't cohere the way i wanted it to. it was Lynchian - structurally, it reminded me quite a lot of Eraserhead - but whereas Eraserhead had its excellent climax, BSS (perhaps because of its aversion to any actual violence?) had no such underpinning moment to signal any kind of stakes to the wonderfully Kafkaesque setup. maybe i'm desensitized, but to say at the movie's end that Gilderoy sees the monster he's become seems to me to be highly overstating what actually occurred in that scene.

 

my big problem with hush is that the killer has like zero motivation and just decides he's going to murder some people in the woods but especially fuck with the deaf girl? he kills the one girl at the beginning so fast! though Don't Breathe did a similar concept but with a much more solid foundation.

 

Sleepaway Camp III is pretty damn cheap and sleazy, just as I would have expected from it.

 

#3 (Vicious) was my favorite. #11 (Downstairs), #12 (Attic Panic), and #16 (I Heard It Too) were good too.

 

Just watching The Conjuring 1 and 2 for the first time.. trying to watch scary movies I haven't seen this Halloween season.. I've heard Annabelle isn't nearly as good, but is it still worth a watch?

 

Worth a watch, yeah
