The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 703

My wife and I watched Host lastnight. Very well done and effective movie! We were definitely creeped out. And clocking in at just under an hour, I was still able to go to bed at a decent hour. Win/win!

 

Their story is super interesting. Making incredibly surreal horror films and otherwise avant-garde storytelling for the purposes of being played during church services along with the sermon or at other community events. They viewed filmmaking as a social tool much more than just a form of entertainment and so their work has a very different feel all the way through.

 

I gotta say I really liked brutally killing the two characters you think are going to be the leads. As dumb as the charm bracelet part is, I'd love to see a brutal Jason attack in broad daylight.

 

My main problem with the back half and with Jason is that he’ll injury a character and then before he kills them he runs after someone else which just seems odd. Also Jason killing people in the town just seems kind of ridiculous to me.

 

I agree with that, but something about the brutal nature that he goes about doing it got me into it more. Just no regard for what he’s doing/being reckless. Made him more primitive, in a way. I could agree with it only happening once instead of like every time lol

it was only the first draft, so I hope he would’ve bulked up the first half. Truly dreadful stuff in there, even if it is meant to be a direct homage to the cheesey bullshit in 80s films.

 

I did really like the kills, especially Jason using a bone saw to saw Brad’s skull in half

 

I can't get a photo because it's a client's dog, but I just looked evil in the face of a dog. Idk if anyone else ever feels that, but this one grey-eyed snarling english bull dog was from hell.

 

Yeah she’s called my ex wife! Heyyyooooo

 

But seriously I’m happily married to my only ever wife.

 

"for two years i slept with a rattlesnake in my bed"
"you did?"
"sure i did. my first wife heheheh"

 

The Faculty rules.

 

Is it streaming? I’ve seen parts of it, but not the whole thing.

 

The Hunger, Ringu and Maniac Cop

 

Caved and got the Friday box set

 

I think it was on Netflix for awhile but not sure now. It's definitely worth it though.

 

Janelle Monáe 'Antebellum' Heads Straight to Premium Video-on-Demand - Variety

 

Has anyone seen the Urban Legends sequel? It's on Shudder and I loved the first one so I may check that tonight. A young Anthony Anderson and Eva Mendes!

 

When I was a kid my local video rental store only had Final Cut, it wasn’t until like last year I realized there was one prior. It’s fine, if you liked the original you’ll get a kick out of this one!

 

Host was really fun, creepier than I expected

 

Just revisited Near Dark, of all the 80s vampire films this ones always been my favorite. I wish Scream would get the rights from Lionsgate/StudioCanal because it’s in dire need of a restoration/special edition upgrade. The original Anchor Bay special edition from 2002 is the best edition but it’s been nearly 20 years!

 

How is She Dies Tomorrow? Looks kinda interesting.

 

Thoughts on The Howling? Trying to run through some classics I've never seen and keep seeing that one pop up.

 

Just watched it the other day...It's uh...Not good.

 

Been thinking about revisiting this one (it's been a couple of years), I definitely liked it and would say it's worth watching for the practical effects alone. I don't remember much, and I'm sure it's not perfect, but it's hard to go wrong with Joe Dante!
