ok lets all shit our pants to something new: post 2005 horror film thread

Can we also stop doing emo vampire stories while we're at it?

funny zombie movies >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> emo vampire movies

i saw the first part of Lo and it is pretty much not very good, there are some flashes of interesting and then waves of dull/dumb/awful

wisecracking demon is just 1000% annoying and poorly thought out.

may give that a shot

wait, Lo? dont do it!

oh yeah? alright, i'll go with the zombie nazis instead.

didnt love that one, but much much better than LO imo.

also you could just watch impaler instead which is not a horror movie, but has a satanic vampire so

Has there ever been a straight-up humorless zombie movie? The only example I can think of is Solaris.

well 28 days/weeks later arent really played for the funny imo, if yer looking for recentish examples

i think all traces of humor in I, Zombie were unintentional. but I don't know. this was, after all, a movie that gave horrible new meaning to the phrase "jerking off."

not much humor in Pupi Avati's Zeder (Revenge of the Dead, Stateside). just a good, old-fashioned scary story. with zombies.

28 days/weeks are pretty dry, true... I feel like they are the Stephen Wright of zombie movies.

they're derivative enough to be...

i walked with a zombie is totally straightfaced, if multilayered

what about Dead & Buried and Deathdream? if there's any humor shading the horror here, it's of the absolute darkest hue.

The problem I have with horror movies that I've seen in the mid to late '00s and ongoing is that they are too slick, or full of gimmicky cinematography. Which is why I loved Drag Me to Hell so much - in addition to telling a good, if not entirely original story, the style was very workaday which worked well for it.

sorry guys but period detail aside, house of the devil was pretty bad. and even if it was supposed to be bad, it could have been a little less by-the-book.

I liked the acting. Tom Noonan is always a treat to watch, and Greta Gerwig was good, esp. with her face blown off.

secretly the best funny zombie movie of the best few years is Black Sheep, because it's about zombie livestock

Made it through 40 minutes of Lo last night, had to walk the dogs, couldn't convince self to pick it back up. My mileage pretty much matched jjjusten's-- it has redeeming qualities, but no.

Just watched triangle, and it was eh ok

Ok watching "inside" tonight, wish me luck

Holy fucking fuck

lol

Yeah, I watched Inside this weekend with a lady friend. She threw up on me, almost gave me a black eye, and I had to get a hotel room that night. I don't think I've watched a more brutal film. Beating up a pregnant woman is bad enough.

Wow. I watched 'Gutterballs' (a much, much nastier film than 'Inside') with a bunch of ladies. They surprised me by being totally into it. They were even cheering as the rapist slimeballs met their ugly ends. I guess the semicomic tone made the extreme violence go down easier, though there's nothing funny about that rape scene. Rough, rough, rough.

yeah i opened my "oh shit i saw a great movie last night" conversation w/gf with the clear statement that she should never under any circumstances watch it. Really amazing tho, liked it more than martyrs i think.

okay yeah, "Inside" is the movie I thought it was

absolutely no fucking way

kind of lolling at this actress's joker teeth, tho:

That was the problem, I love it. And she's of the opinion that there is something inherently wrong with enjoying a movie like Inside. I like how the action occurred in a small house with that lighting. The color of these new french horror films are so much better than in most american horror films.

I've been trying to watch all the 'classic' video nasties and started with I Spit On Your Grave when it was showing but fell asleep during the first ten minutes. Is it worth buying?
Inside sounds worth a look but judging by what you guys are saying maybe might watch in the daytime...

Based on plot summary, new Season Of The Witch sounds up my alley... NEbody know anything about it?

Hey, horror people: what's that horror movie where they make a human worm by sewing the mouths of people to the anuses of people?

centipede (first sequence)

lol human centipede &c

i mean wtf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Centipede_%28First_Sequence%29

haha that movie was my #1 example on the "why do you like horror movies?" thread as to why civilization was doomed iirc

"Tom Six has stated that the inspiration for the film came from a joke he always made to friends about punishing people who were "nasty or annoying or a child molester" by stitching their mouths to "the ass of a fat truck driver". From here came what he saw as the concept for "a great horror movie" and he began to develop the idea."

you realize that when this dude wakes up in the middle of his own real-life centipede, it will be the sign that our time on this Earth should come to an end

The star of this film is named Dieter Laser.

his album is pretty good, the Santigold track is kinda weak tho

I was really disappointed by Inside, I thought it was complete crap. It seemed good until any time something actually gory or terrifying was supposed to happen and then it was totally unconvincing, making the entire movie fall flat. Martyrs is so much better its not even worth comparing the two. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone with you guys bein all omgz Inside so sick. Maybe my expectations were too high having seen Martyrs first? With Martyrs I was like desperately reminding myself that it was just special fx so as to not puke all over myself, whereas with Inside whenever something gory happened I was kind of squinting to try to make it look better.

naw bro inside is garbage & not scary at all

i think the scope of inside (despite the alarmingly high death toll) just works better for me, no subterranean lair, just a house - 4 rooms some stairs and a hallway which really ramps up the tension whenever someone new enters and yer waiting for the "oh shit is that a mangled body" moment to break the suspense. also i was happy to see a (kinda) straight motivational story arc, i had some issues w/the grand scope of the idea behind martyrs. dont get me wrong, i loved both movies, but inside just worked even better for me.

also the living dead homage moment was A+++++ for creepout fun.

my bloody valentine remake arriving tonight which i am not really looking forward to and mainly feeling i should bother with out of some weird genre obligation

was given a two day reprieve thanks to netflix sending me a copy that looked like it had been belt-sanded

nu-MBV is a fun genre exercise, but make sure to do it up proper w/ the 3D glasses. The 3D elements were applied in a vintage 80s camp/slasher style (ie lots of pick-axes poking out at u) & are easily the best thing about the movie.

nu-MBV has, like nu-Friday the 13th, a sort of intriguing triple-start structure. Other than that, pretty by the books.

Intrigued by the mentions of "Inside" and "Martyrs" I did some googling. Yeesh. Too many flicks confuse "horror" with "horrible," and these seem like no exception, unfortunately. Gore overkill is usually funny, intentional or not, but paired with such extreme unpleasantness I'm not sure of the point. Just to be unpleasant? That'd be like recommending "Irreversible" for its cool fire extinguisher scene ("so real!") and awesome protracted rape ("totally intense!").
