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

watched some of 'kill list' but didn't make it to the end - the juxtaposition of kitchen-sink domestic strife with the uncanny elements seemed a bit ham-handed and i kinda lost interest. didn't help that the characters were all horrible bastards, either. the wikipedia summary makes it seem like it goes in pretty much the direction i expected it to go from what i saw, ie shitty wicker man. be interested to hear what others thought of it, though.

it has its own (pretty short) thread. I guess its supporters call it ambiguous, i just thought it was nonsensical

Ha, that sums up 95% of horror!

I wish I could discuss my feelings abt why The Woman does not succeed despite some staggering aspects. But there's no way to do so without major spoiling...

ha i think i had the same problem actually

Once more into the breach, dear ghosts:

Kids.

If that was NOT every scary scene in the movie, the movie will be 42 hours long.

man im sorry but i am so so done with that series, i dropped out after #2

#3 actually wasn't bad for the most part, but they've ridden this pony way farther than they should have.

oh i never remembered to get on here and talk about this - Dream Home (which is on netflix streaming fyi) is a pretty interesting weird thing, it has one foot in the sorta half-comedic slightly overblown melodrama get out of HK cinema a lot, and the other foot in totally gonzo splatter brutality. its pretty jarring, but its also pretty amazing and i really dug it.

on a less optimistic note, the innkeepers is sitting at my house right now, so you can prob all look forward to me getting cranky abt people continuing to give a shit abt ti west.

Oh, that movie is really not bad at all.

Was curious about "Dream Home," but I guess I'm pretty tired of ironic OTT gore.

oh i might have misled you, theres nothing ironic at all about this movie, its not another meatball machine or machine girl, its deadly serious for the most part, and weirdly sad.

But it's a social satire, right?

maybe in the vaguest of terms? i mean there is a message for the times aspect there i guess, but its not overblown.

the first 5-10 minutes will either hook you or its not a movie for you tbh, it basically reveals itself right out of the gate.

Just started "the innkeepers" countdown to ironic Walkman placement begins now.

Gotta say, as much as I am not sold on the dude, his soundtracks are fucking badass

And there it is, a huge "intel inside" sticker on a clunky laptop. First 10 minutes.

Oh wait, worse, it's an "evil inside" sticker.

Alright, time to eat some crow here, I thought the innkeepers was great. Sorry for beating you up all the time Ti (house of the devil is still a total piece of shit tho).

Told you!

I liked the Innkeepers, tried to watch The Letter the other night and I fell asleep, Tera stayed awake for the movie and said it was very creepy.

Which "Letter?"

With winona ryder and james franco

Is "Stoker" a horror film or a thriller? Just don't know if it's worth discussing here.

Looks more like future gay cult fave.

Well it's park chan-wook...

(Morbs excepted, gays are some of the biggest horror fans.)

stoker POSSIBLE SPOILERS DO NOT READ FURTHER is rumored to be a quasi-vampire tale so it's prolly appropriate here (quasi in that it's like near dark, where the word vampire is never used)

Although influenced by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Miller clarified that Stoker was "not about vampires. It was never meant to be about vampires but it is a horror story. A stoker is one who stokes, which also ties in nicely with the narrative."

What the hell, there was a 2010 Joe Dante movie? "The Hole?" Who saw this? Where did it go?

Kids.

not a horror movie iirc

I'm at about the point where: fuck fount-footage ghost movies, fuck vampires & fuck zombies - for a good decade at least.

* 'found footage' - I'd def watch a movie abt a fountain of ghosts.

Check out Boo d'Artifice

Boo d'Artifice should be the title of the ilx horror movie.

has anyone watched "the tall man"? i swear i just read a really positive review of it but i don't remember where, and now it's up on netflix streaming

might not be horror exactly but from director of martyrs, looks like the review i read was in av club

Yeah The Hole has been in some kind of weird limbo for 2 years and is only hitting theaters now. I'm curious. The source book is a big deal, right>

the wikipedia entry for the tall man has some horrendous spoilers, so avoid reading the plot summary

tall man not exactly horror and not flawless but worth watching, takes some interesting turns and looks good

man ive done a mini-marathon over the last couple days, including some stuff that i chanced on netflix streaming that were waaaaaaay better than expected.

details pls!

yeah rly you can't blow thru here all coy mccoy like "I watched a bunch of awesome stuff, betcha wish u knew what it was"

lol

I've seen a bunch of fun stuff lately, but none of it adheres to the post-2005 edict: Town That Dreaded Sundown, Bloody Birthday, Deadly Blessing, Onibaba, and Sleepaway Camp--all, shockingly, for the first time.

Anyone seen Rouge River or Knock Knock 2? Caught a fast forwarded glimpse of trailers for both.

ok im in the middle of teaching a customer how not to blow up his shit, but to make that less of a driveby i watched apartment 148, undocumented, pop skull, and cold fish. more thoughts on all of them when i get a chance

director of pop skull had a big hand in VHS and did one of the segments.
