The Horror Thread [ARCHIVED] Movie • Page 309

Article complains about Doug Bradley passing on the torch to a new actor playing Pinhead, but he obviously missed Revelations (can’t blame him). Bradley hasn’t played Pinhead since 2005.

 

Stumbled across a Nightmare on Elm Street box set at work and realized I had never seen 2 through Freddy's Dead, so that's going to be my weekend.

 

The second Nightmare is my favorite, mainly due to how overly homoerotic it is and how the director was on a mission to keep it that way. Plus, the pool party Freddy massacre is so much fun.

 

I watched the first three in a row a few days ago but I haven’t picked it up since. Only loved the first one. I do want to get to New Nightmare tho

 

Dream Warriors all day for me.

 

I don't really like 2 that much, not enough dream stuff, though the pool party is great. Dream Warriors is so much better.

 

Rented New Nightmare a while back based on some discussion in this thread and really wasn't a fan. Would be curious to hear your thoughts though

 

Agreed entirely. I found 2 to be super slow paced as well.

 

Just imagine that Freddy is repressed sexuality and it becomes a solid metaphor movie

 

I’ll have to rewatch it again with that in mind.

 

1, 2, Dream Warriors and A New Nightmare is where it’s at. The rest are ok.

 

Ugh I can't wait to watch Mom and Dad, probably won't be able to til after work tmrw tho

 

after my third watch, i'm comfortable saying Green Room is an example of a perfectly made horror/thriller film.

 

If anyone gets a chance to see Mandy (featuring Nic Cage) do it.

 

RIP Anton. Great film to go out on.

 

glad he and poots got to collaborate again as well, yea.

 

Speaking of which, Dead Meat finally taking on the franchise

 

how was it? I’ve heard it was amazing but as a fan of Beyond The Black Rainbow (a movie not a lot of people enjoy) i want to know how similar the vibes are??

can’t wait for it to be released

 

This is what I said in the Sundance thread about it:

"It was basically a super artsy/weird mix of old school Evil Dead and new school Evil Dead with a synth soundtrack and classic Nic Cage-ness.

I fucking loved it."

 

that sounds like my perfect movie haha

 

47 Meters Down was pretty bad imo. Anyone else catch this?

 

hype on Dead Meat finally doing Freddy

 

Mom and Dad was fun. Didn't love it, but it had some great Cage moments.

 

i almost turned it off (the stuff in the beginning was like laughably bad) but i thought that once they got in the cage, it became somewhat tolerable
