The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 330

Understandable from that point of view. At the same time though, he didn’t have anything hidden that he’d plan to use to pick handcuffs. Cops were at the front door too. He knew the fastest way out/the only way he’d have enough time to apparate out of sight was to cut the hand.

 

Hannibal was my first R-rated theater experience without the need for an older guardian.

 

Cordell, get me a sandwich bish.

 

I’ve tried to rationalize the move, that Clarice would have fought with him while he tried to pick it, that maybe nothing was in reach, but I dunno. He just seemed to make the move to it so quick. They establish that the police are on their way, but not exactly how close. Lector’s eye on the clock made it seem to me he knew exactly how much time he had to escape safely. But you could be right, maybe they were right there and too much time dicking around finding a tool to pick it may have closed his window. I’m just being too hard on it, but it did bug me when the movie ended.

 

gotta love Gary Oldman

EDIT: I've always wanted this poster:

 

It’s certainly not the only flaw to find in the movie. I liked it plenty, but nowhere near as much as the original.

 

The Ritual was dope. Simple but very effective.

Really awesome monster design too.

 

that doesn't happen in the book. ends completely differently. no wizardry in terms of escape. lots of people hate the book ending too though, ha

his escape drives me crazy. manages to disappear without a trace right after cutting off his hand. come on now. then he's on a plane asap after that...ugh.

 

I saw The Strangers: Prey At night tonight and thought it got off to a pretty bad start , but one it gets going, it didn’t stop, and actually got better as the movie went on. It was a fast adrenaline rush for me. Fun time. Lol I also thought that the brother kinda looked like Brian Sella

 

Yes! By the third act I was way into it. It's super tense with some big cathartic moments

 

Not sure if this belongs here but this is David Robert Mitchell's follow-up to It Follows (one of my favorite horror movies of the last 5 years). As the AV Club puts it, "If It Follows was the auteur’s Boogie Nights, a bold and confident work of art announcing the arrival of a major new talent, the trailer for his next film, Under The Silver Lake, suggests he may have jumped straight to his Inherent Vice, an odd and irreverent flexing of Mitchell’s more experimental cinematic muscles."

Looks interesting

 

looks cool

 

the comedic elements don't really work for me but as a neo noir project it looks very fun

 

Looks wild, I'm into it

 

I’ll watch it since A24 is putting it out, one of the best indie studios RN

 

Man, I was expecting a lot more from Blackcoat’s Daughter.

 

Reviews for A Quiet Place keep coming in and are very positive. Weird to be looking forward to a Horror release in spring.

 

Breaks my heart when I hear that haha. That movie checked every box for me. My favorite film I’ve seen in a while.

 

I dug it

 

Love a lot of how it was shot, the tones, moods, especially with the score, just didn’t do much for me story wise. Also, when I figured out what was going on, Emma Roberts being that girl/same character 9 years later just took me out of it too.

 

I can respect that. The way it ended with her searching out the devil and trying to reconnect left a strong finish for her arc. Her feeling of isolation when her parents died, the way the church disregarded her, the comfort she found with the devil. Without that story line/ending, it wouldn’t have had all those implications and it would have just felt like another possession film, imo.

 

I'm excited about The Quiet Place

 

Looking forward to it too. Tremors is one of my favorite movies (where the monsters detect noise and vibrations) though that has a more comedic element.

 

Saw Annihilation last night. Seeing the trailers for A Quiet Place and Hereditary on the big screen just about tripled my already high excitement for both.
