Re: What movies are you watching?
My brother is coming over tonight for a movie. I'm leaning either Re-animator or Return of the Living Dead - what do you guys think?

Doctor Sleep: Directors Cut
I never saw the theatrical release because the person I wanted to see it with passed away, but oddly enough saw a lot of her in the movie, especially the AA scenes. I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did, but it was great to watch Ewan and Rebecca Ferguson; she was charismatic yet menacing. It probably could have stood on its own if it wasn’t a continuation of the Shining, I think.

This one is on my little list of possible movies to watch this Spooky Season. So that settles it, I'm watching it!Ello Sailor wrote:So good, right? Creepy as hell, and it has Jeff Goldblum and Donald Sutherland!tommy wrote:Invasion of the Body Snatchers (78)
Fantastic. Really grim, great premise, some really cool effects and great performances. Loved it.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Incorporating imagery from a movie as masterful and beloved as The Shining into a movie as bad as Doctor Sleep is some of the most insane cinematic hubris I've ever encountered

Sorry, Mecca. But it is kinda what you deserve for being a Jets fan.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I watched the first two recently and found them to be so over the top that I didn't take the gore seriously. I mostly laughed at how crazy it was and admired the effects.tree_ wrote:Somehow Terrifier 3 is already up on s t r e m i o ... god these movies are awful, but that's the point, and i applaud them for it.. and hate them.. but enjoy them kinda.. i mean they're pretty much just sick comedies, right? maybe i just laugh as a defense mechanism, but i sure do laugh

I really loved Terrifier 2 and am very excited to see 3. Waiting for the disc release, though. I don't think they're awful movies at all; quite well-crafted. Art is already one of the all-time-great horror characters for my money. David Howard Thornton's performance is unbelievable.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I can't watch them because I'm so empathetic and have too much care for others because I'm such a decent person.

Re: What movies are you watching?
No, I agree they're well made. I mean if you did actually have empathy for the characters like Burt does, they'd be awful in that way. The beginning of 3 had me squirming, probably because I have young children and a wife that I deeply care about (spoiler alert, kinda). It's just too much. Then you remember they're just silly comedy movies after all and admire them for the craft.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I really loved Terrifier 2 and am very excited to see 3.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Last night I ended up watching Halloween 3. Liked it a lot more this time. The story is complete nonsense in the best possible way. I think part of what makes it work is that it's played completely straight.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I'm here to report Terrifier 3 is NOT GOOD. It has the expected over the top blood and gore but the story is like a really bad Goosebumps episode. The novelty wore off very fast. They didn't know what to do or where to go. A whole lot of meandering with some violence sprinkled in, just for its sake, and then it just kinda ends. 4.2/10.
