09.18.12 | My favorite is Halloween. i love all the movies, except for the third one |
jrm96
09.18.12 | i'm expecting a lot of evil dead |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Evil dead yep haha Friday the 13th are fun for the boobs if you watch the right ones some of them are really bad but Jason X was fucking hilarious lol |
Trebor.
09.18.12 | *The four most well known horror franchises
Evil Dead duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Yea i agree jason x was funny, its the worst one |
jrm96
09.18.12 | I have to see the evil dead movies in a long ass time, i need to check them out soon |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Human centipede lmao god the second one was pretty disturbing I must say and martyrs is literally the most fucked up thing I've ever seen its pretty much just a torture film but like a literal torture film where they get these two girls and they want them to see the light before they die so they just torture them the entire movie literally |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | Human centipede sucks balls, but its a fun movie. Im pumped for the third one. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Those are movies ive never even thought about seein---EVER |
jrm96
09.18.12 | O god a third one? |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Yep complete sequence so it's first, full and now complete dumb I know but the first one is a brown comedy then the second
one is intresting cause it's about a guy who is obsessed with the movie and wants to try it himself except not with surgery he
uses duct tape and staples to put the ass and mouth together |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | I wonder what the third one will be like |
Hawks
09.18.12 | House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects are probably my favorites, but out of these I'd say:
Halloween
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm Street |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | I wonder that too can you really top stepping on a babies head and seeing the whole thing happen probably not unless you get Gary Busey as the killer that'll top it |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | I'm not a fan of Ron zombie flicks he tries too hard IMO |
MisterTornado
09.18.12 | transformers |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Who the fuck would finance these movies. And cool hawks i like those movies also |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | Yeah that baby scene was fucked! I heard that the doctor from the first one and Martin from the second one is supposed to be in the third one. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | I dont think he tries hard, i hope his next film is good |
Hawks
09.18.12 | Halloween would be second after those and then the Scream franchise. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Sex and the city was pretty scary |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Y would the actors participate in those movies? |
SupItsKJ
09.18.12 | Damn this list was so unpredictible! |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Not a big fan of scream, but its good |
Mickeymau5
09.18.12 | @jrm; money |
Hawks
09.18.12 | The first Scream is one of my favorite movies ever. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | The list isnt the point sup, ur opinions are the point |
jrm96
09.18.12 | I need to see the scream movies again as well, is the new one good |
Hawks
09.18.12 | I thought the new one was the best since the first. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Hmm makes me want to see it asap, but itll have to wait |

Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | A Nightmare on Elm Street. The first movie is a nigh perfect blend of creativity and entertainment. The Dream trilogy (3, 4 and 5) are all really fun, and the two black sheep (2 and 6) are pretty bad, but occasionally entertaining. New Nightmare is amazing.
Scream. The first one is fantastic. The second and third one are pretty good sequels, and the fourth one was a great revival.
Evil Dead. They're all classics. Honestly, I've seen the second one less than the other two, so it's my least favorite of the bunch, but they're all great. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Yep 4 is the best since the original so much fun and so funny at times
@maximus how the hell does that work? |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | yeah elm street 2 and 6 suck big time. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Hey crymson I think you would get a kick out of this same goes for any Pokemon fan
http://www.funnyjunk.com/channel/pokemon/Batman+tries+to+find+Feebas/fLyeGsY/ |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | @Viral I think the third one will be similar to the second one in the sense that its a movie within a movie sort of thing |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Im a sucker for originals, so i like all the first ones |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "Hey crymson I think you would get a kick out of this same goes for any Pokemon fan"
Haha I did enjoy that |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Yeah idk I just wana see it I actually hope it's more fucked up lol just so I can be like NEVER WATCH IT cause if it's more brutal than the second Id tell people that |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | @crymson it's so true tho |
jrm96
09.18.12 | i get the urge to see it, but then i change my mind |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | The picture? Yea if you don't play it it's not for you |
jrm96
09.18.12 | no i meant the movie, i didn't see the pic |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | @Viral I heard the director said the movie will make the second one "look like a disney film." lol |
jrm96
09.18.12 | that doesn't sound too bad |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | I'm honestly not even sure what to say lol |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Okay you wouldn't say that if you've seen it |
jrm96
09.18.12 | i wasn't being serious, i probably wouldn't be able to eat for a month |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | "that doesn't sound too bad"
Go watch it then, they have it on netflix
|
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Actually think about being in that situation having someone's ass in your mouth with duct tape and staples while being
injected with I forgot the name of it I'm stoned whatever makes you shit like crazy I could go into detail but I won't
Edit: I thought you were serious lol but yea that should turn you away forever |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | I dunno, I felt like Human Centipede 2 was so over the top and ridiculous that it stopped being gross and just became kind of funny |
jrm96
09.18.12 | well the guy in front shouldn't have it too bad, all he has to do is shit |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Everyone should watch martyrs |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Yea still you're gonna have a dead dude hanging off your ass And crysmon I know it was funny but some parts were pretty bad |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | I thought the baby scene was fucked up, but at the same time quite funny |
jrm96
09.18.12 | isn't there a gory movie called cannibal holocaust? i read about it on wikipedia |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Yeah and the shit spraying everywhere made for a good dinner movie |
jrm96
09.18.12 | i like eating shit for dinner |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Yeah but what haven't they made in terms of horror movies these days attack of the killer tomatoes is old and super funny check it out |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | lolol cannibal holocaust I actually just saw that recently |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Maximus have you seen attack of the killer tomatoes or midnight meat train? And yes I know it sounds like a black three some
porno |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | I haven't seen either of those, but I've heard of killer tomatoes. What is tomatoes like? |
jrm96
09.18.12 | i remember i wanted to midnight meat train, then i forgot about it |
Maniac!
09.18.12 | Hellraiser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | It's pretty much what it looks like if you look at the cover just cheesy as hell it's fun tho and midnight meat train is strange but very good |
jrm96
09.18.12 | just so u all know, 4 is interchangeable with almost any other movie. the first 3 are wat matter to me |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | Yeah Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a fun cheesy 80s movie. Killer Klowns from Outer Space is another good one like that. |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | Never got super into the Halloween or Friday the 13th series.
I like some of the entries in the series though. I like the overall mystery of Halloween a lot (I think 1, 2, 4, and H20 are all pretty good), and I like the really over the top Friday movies (4, 6, 9, and X). Overall, not a huge fan of the two series but they definitely have their moments. |
DrMaximus
09.18.12 | I may have to check that out. Have you seen Drive thru? |
Maniac!
09.18.12 | HELLRAISER |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "HELLRAISER"
First Hellraiser is great. Haven't seen the others. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Aside from the first one, H 4 is prob my fave |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | H20 was actually good |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Yea the only one thats sucks imo is 3 |
Satellite
09.18.12 | ghostbusters |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Which one was that? |
jrm96
09.18.12 | The season of the witch shit |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | Yeah Season of the Witch is pretty bad
I like the premise a lot but the pacing is just dreadful |
StarCannibal
09.18.12 | Definitely Sex and the City. |

09.18.12 | What? |
MO
09.18.12 | only good Texas chainsaw is the original, everything after that sucked the remake was alright
first 3 friday the 13th flicks were solid, started to get a little stale afterwards
first 3 elm streets were sweet, then Wes craven's New nightmare was awesome, New one was terrible
first 2 halloweens were solid, h20 and the remakes were solid
of these 4 probably Halloween takes it
hellraiser, romero's zombie series, pumpkinhead and wishmaster are up there as well
|
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | Wishmaster is pretty fun actually, at least the first two (haven't seen the rest).
Personally can't stand anything Rob Zombie puts out, though. |
MO
09.18.12 | george romeros zombie movies dude |
jrm96
09.18.12 | Dude i had completely forgotten about pumpkinhead |
IndianaWarLord
09.18.12 | first wishmaster is a parade of kickass gory setpieces. and tons of homages to original slashers as well.
Candyman was a classic.
Sleepaway franchise is pretty f'ed up.
Night of the Demons/Slumber Party Massacres are dumb bloody fun everytime. Halloween 3 doesn't count so that honor goes to halloween: resurrection
My favorite is Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | I watched the first evil dead and it sucked
I got halfway through the 2nd but couldnt watch any more
Not sure why they are classic |

omnipanzer
09.18.12 | Nightmare On Elm Street (it was my first horror movie) |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | They were badly acted, cheesy, not scary, not funny, plot sucked, effects were lol. Im sure they were fun for their time and if you grew up watching them they're nostalgic but just watching them now for the first time like I did they were lame as fuck. |
omnipanzer
09.18.12 | The first one is great the rest are good to bad depending. Most horror movies were pretty lol back then but without them you wouldn't have what you have now. I'm the type of person that likes to see the progression of art so I like that started with 80's slashers and then simultaneously worked my way backwards and forwards through the genre as I grew. |
omnipanzer
09.18.12 | Evil dead 2 was pretty bad ass with the great mix of humor, horror and a new filming style. |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | The first one wasnt supposed to be that campy, but it turned out that way because it was so cheaply made. That doesnt make it good. The next 2 just poked fun at it. Either way campy or not they're not scary at all. |
IndianaWarLord
09.18.12 | someone needs to get tree-raped |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | People used to think the Exorcist was the scariest thing ever made too, but when I watch it now its more funny than anything. Mainly due to the effects. Alot of horror movies just havent aged well at all. They're still fun to watch and still better than most modern shit but get real. |
omnipanzer
09.18.12 | Special defects don't age well. You'll notice it about the movies you love as you get older. Eventually you just have to give them a pass and or look past them. It's hard to evaluate any art when you aren't around for it's originality. Ever watch the stuff from the 70's and think... why is the blood scarlet bordering on Crimson? |
IndianaWarLord
09.18.12 | don mancini seems to blur the evolution of special effects. even back in dawn of the dead days the guy was nailing it. well now were degressing with these CGI splurts of syrup coming at the screen in 3D. |

09.18.12 | "CGI has ruined horror movies."
When relied to heavily upon CGI is fucking annoying. Sometimes scale models are still the way to go imo. CGI is an effect, I wish they'd stop using it as a staple. |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | CGI def has gone overboard but come on do you guys really think the Evil Dead monsters or the Exorcist are scary now? There just has to be a balance like anything. |

09.18.12 | "When relied to heavily upon CGI is fucking annoying. Sometimes scale models are still the way to go imo. CGI is an effect, I wish they'd stop using it as a staple."

IndianaWarLord
09.18.12 | in evil dead they're not monsters, they're demons dumb-dumb |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | "Special defects don't age well."
this isnt necessarily true. i still think that to this day The Thing has the best special effects ever put on screen. i can watch it and still think holy shit this looks amazing. same goes for other scenes, like the resurrection scene in hellraiser, the transformation scene in american werewolf in london.
its those scene that make me a firm believer that strong practical effects will always look better than CGI. like you said, CGI is an effect, and in modern times i think it could be used to great effect to ENHANCE practical effects, but replacing them altogether has hurt what special effects can do i think |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "CGI def has gone overboard but come on do you guys really think the Evil Dead monsters or the Exorcist are scary now? There just has to be a balance like anything."
Yeah, the deadites and Pazuzu are pretty frightening creatures. I have never once seen an intimidating CGI monster.
I can't think of a single scary movie in the past 5 years other than Insidious which used mostly practical effects (other than one shot). |
Gyromania
09.18.12 | the texas chainsaw massacre (remake) is a total joke.
i'm not so into horror franchises, and if i am they're usually video games like silent hill or resident evil, but these are some of my favourite horror movies:
-let the right one in
-hausu
-suspiria
-the shining
-the exorcist
-nosferatu
-house on haunted hill (original)
-nightmare on elm street
-suicide club
.... and about 50 more that i can't think of atm. |

suspiria is such a beautifully saturated movie |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | Well scary movies are scarier when they dont show the "monster" or whatever that much or at all anyway. The more psychological and mysterious the better. The only time a slasher scared me was watching the first Friday the 13th when I was like 8. When Kevin Bacon got stabbed through the throat from underneath his bed I didnt want to sleep for days lol. |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "[Rec]

Really? I mean it's scarier than Quarantine, but that's saying literally nothing. I mean scariness is subjective I guess. |
menawati
09.18.12 | "was watching the first Friday the 13th when I was like 8. When Kevin Bacon got stabbed through the throat"
fksake u watched that at 8 years old ?! your parents suck |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "Well scary movies are scarier when they dont show the "monster" or whatever that much or at all anyway."
I pretty much agree. I'm just saying that practical effects like prosthetics and models in horror (in anything, really) are a million times more effective than CGI. |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | I might have been closer to 10 actually but yea my parents didnt know I watched it. But yea I liked the first Paranormal Activity for that reason too. They didnt show much and I got a real active mind that dont shut up so its tailored made for that. Obviously the sequels are getting ridiculous now like every other franchise. |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | I've actually liked all the Paranormal Activity movies (as one and done theater type of things), but as for long-term creepy, they don't bother me at all. I don't consider a movie scary unless I'm unsettled later at night. |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | "practical effects like prosthetics and models in horror (in anything, really) are a million times more effective than CGI."
ive come to the conclusion that the problem with CGI is humans can subconsciously tell that it doesnt exist. like if you see a CGI monster (or CGI anything really) you KNOW that it never existed in real space, that it's just a computer generated image that has no physical dimensions
practical effects exist in real space, they interact with the environment and you know that they have real dimensions, and i think this makes them more effective almost 100% of the time |

Yep exactly. |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | Jaws was supposed to have the shark in the movie much more but they had problems with it so they had to keep it minimal. The best thing that could have happened though. Spielberg's movies age really well to me. The shark in Jaws still looks more than real enough to get the job done today. The ships in Close Encounters look solid too, and Jurassic Park looks like it came out yesterday. Those raptors still haunt my dreams. In fact Jurassic Park is the perfect example of a great balance of CGI and Models. |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | I dont agree with that hype. All that matters is if the shit looks good and real. "Practical effects" can look even sillier like I mentioned. |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | my point is that CGI never looks real, up to this point CGI has never reached a point where it can seamlessly integrate into reality. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | How can you not like it? |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "I dont agree with that hype. All that matters is if the shit looks good and real. "Practical effects" can look even sillier like I mentioned."
Yeah I can't name one CGI scene where I went "yep, that's actually there". |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "Yankee the reason why the movie is so famous is cause of what they did to the actors that one scene where bruce Campbell is holding that bitch in the basement and she was swinging the knife at him it was a realllll knife to make it feel Morre real so he was actually dodging a knife. And when Bruce campbell fucked up his leg raimi and the producer kept hurting him so it would seem more real and also not having a shower for 9 months while shooting and the only water is the boiling hot water for coffee so please Yankee get your head out your ass "
Have you read If Chins Could Kill, viral? |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | Viral thats lovely but the movie still sucks sorry |

Stop-motion isn't a practical effect. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Cgi is lame most of the time |
YankeeDudel
09.18.12 | Thats my point though. CGI obviously would have been better than that. Its not like they only used "practical effects". They did try some more special effects but didnt have the technology to pull them off. isnt Raimi doing a remake with Campbell anyway? |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | they are only producers
there are some things that are almost impossible to do with practical effects well, and cgi is probably better than stop motion (even though i like stop-motion)
but we're arguing against the frivolous use of CGI where it should be used |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | shouldnt**** |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "Thats my point though. CGI obviously would have been better than that. Its not like they only used "practical effects". They did try some more special effects but didnt have the technology to pull them off. isnt Raimi doing a remake with Campbell anyway?"
Stop-motion has a charm to it, whereas CGI is usually pretty lifeless. The one positive example I can think of (other than well-done early examples like T2 and Jurassic Park) is Drag Me to Hell, where the extremely phony CGI enhances the cartoony atmosphere of the film. Also Raimi, incidentally.
"a perfect example of how CGI ruins things is the thing vs. the thing prequel. when the crew actually took special care and hard work crafting the effects with models instead of just lazily putting it into a computer it turned out much more better."
I read something about how they actually made models for the Thing prequel but replaced them with CGI at the last minute. I dunno how much truth there is to it, but it was an interesting read.
Sure the CGI is awful in the prequel, but that movie would have sucked even with practical effects thanks to crappy direction and an awful script. |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | "I read something about how they actually made models for the Thing prequel but replaced them with CGI at the last minute."

Well supposedly Raimi had a hand in the screenplay too.
But yeah, a lack of Bruce Campbell is a huge warning sign. It's not really Evil Dead without Ash. |

09.18.12 | See andcas this is why you're stupid. I never said I didnt respect stop motion lol. Nightmare Before Christmas is a classic and it worked for that movie since ya know it was ALL stop motion. But if used in a live action movie it can look horrible and cheesy like any other effect. It all depends on how its used.
Its like in the first terminator at the end when terminator's skeleton is in stop motion. It honestly just looks bad now. Sure theres a charm to that scene and its a great movie regardless but the CGI in T2 blows it out of the water. |

09.18.12 | well yea he's no Sammy j who's in fucking everything but he's a Great actor and usually any movie he's in he's nominated for a reason he's a brilliant actor. Gangs of new York, there will be blood, Last of the Mohicans. All fucking amazing movies |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | Yeah I've never really found him engaging |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | He's so brilliant in there will be blood tho |
Gyromania
09.18.12 | daniel is an amazing actor! watch there will be blood, you will not be disappointed. |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "He's so brilliant in there will be blood tho"
That's actually the one I'm basing my indifference off of. It's been forever since I've seen Last of the Mohicans, and I've never committed the 10 years it takes to watch Gangs of New York.
But I didn't elicit a single emotion during There Will Be Blood. In fact I didn't like that movie much at all.
That's just me though. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | It wasn't even about emotion it was about his evolution as a person as he gets more and more power and cares less and less
about anyone and everything and that movie is inspired by 2001 the beginning and the ending are switched Daniel in the end
beats the guy up with the bowling pin and in 2001 in the beginning the monkey beats the skull with the bone and in the end of
2001 he's a man with a lot of ambition to become something else entirely and same goes when Daniel first finds that oil
deposit it changed him forever |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | Well I mean if a movie doesn't cause me to feel anything, then it's a bad movie. To me, at least. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Okay then. |
Gyromania
09.18.12 | that's a weird way of looking at it. not all films have to evoke some kind of emotional response. the character in there will be blood is the epitome of narcissism and selfishness. you're not supposed to feel anything other than contempt and/or pity for the man as you follow his transgressions. |

09.18.12 | holy fuck i go to school with 90 comments on the list and i come back with almost 200 |
Gyromania
09.18.12 | mr. popular! |
jrm96
09.18.12 | i don't mind the effects as long as their not too fake |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "just because you are incapable of feeling something towards a movie doesn't mean it's bad."
Eh, to me it does. If I'm not entertained and I don't feel anything towards it, then it was basically a waste of time. Thus, bad movie. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | honestly, the only times i've ever been scared by a movie was when i saw halloween when i was like 4 and the grudge when i was 8 |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | there are objectively bad movies, i hate when people degrade criticism into the confines of subjectivity |
jrm96
09.18.12 | do any of you honestly get scared by a movie? |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "if you're not entertained and feel nothing all it means is the movie wasn't for you. there have been plenty of movies that are in fact really amazing but they just don't register to some peoples interests. a prime example would be a movie consisting of smart but slow dialogue when someone is more into fast paced action in their movie experience."
Right... I mean I'm not saying other people can't enjoy it. |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "do any of you honestly get scared by a movie?"
Horror movies are only scary if you let them be. I try to let them be whenever possible. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | they don't give me the creeps, but i do like the suspense of them and shit |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | But most fail miserably. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | There are very few good horror movies that come out descent being one of them
|
jrm96
09.18.12 | yup, it's my favorite genre, but there are so many bad ones out there |
jrm96
09.18.12 | now-a-days, the only ones i like are remakes
not all this parabullshit activity and exorcist movies |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | What did you think of the thing prequel? |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | The thing holds best horror movie ever for me always will |
jrm96
09.18.12 | awww fuck u guys are gona hate me, but i haven't seen the thing or the prequel.
i'll watch in a bit though |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Watch it now most creative horror movie ever IMO I think it might be on Netflix I could be wrong |
jrm96
09.18.12 | i dont have netflix, but i use one of those site where u can see it free.
and i'm starting rite now |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Sweet let me know how you like it man |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | the thing is the best sci-fi horror ever get on that shit right now |
jrm96
09.18.12 | will do i'll try to watch the prequel as well |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | honestly theres no reason, it sucks and half the scenes are directly copied from the thing
you can skip it and not miss out on anything |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "there are objectively bad movies, i hate when people degrade criticism into the confines of subjectivity"
I don't really get why anyone wouldn't be subjective about movies. |
HitlerIsTheBest
09.18.12 | halloween. i even liked the rob zombie remakes |
jrm96
09.18.12 | alrite, it'll save me time |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | Yeah definitely watch The Thing, but skip the prequel. It sucks.
The Blob and The Fly are also good '80s sci-fi horrors that happen to be remakes'. |
Hyperion1001
09.18.12 | i didnt say that, criticism is a mixture of both subjectivity and objectivity, but saying that "oh you just didn't like it because it wasn't for you" is a bullshit excuse |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "i even liked the rob zombie remakes"
Yikes! |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | There is worse movies than the thing prequel |
jrm96
09.18.12 | the second halloween remake was alright, one of my least favorite |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Hahaha really? Rob zombie ruined halloween so many reviews with a 0/10 and I've never seen that happen sooooo many times its complete shit they ruined the character of micheal completely |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | "i didnt say that, criticism is a mixture of both subjectivity and objectivity, but saying that "oh you just didn't like it because it wasn't for you" is a bullshit excuse"
Eh I see no reason whatsoever for objectivity. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | He's not supposed to be a fucked up kid cause of his parents hes just an evil motherfucker even from a good home and they ruined that |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | I think the second half of Rob Zombie's Halloween is passable, when it's aping the Carpenter version. It's certainly not as tense as the original though. The only great thing about it is Malcolm McDowell. The second one is... gah. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | well the first remake i liked, the second is the one that ruined it |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | I just didn't like it at all but idk what I was expecting from him I never liked any of his movies house of a 1000 corpses was okay but devils rejects is terrible he tried too hard for shock value |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | I mostly just hate Zombie's style. The only likable character is Loomis. Even most of the bad sequels like 5 and 6 had likable protagonists (fine, Resurrection didn't, but that one is almost as bad as the remakes). |
jrm96
09.18.12 | i would've like to see what happened after ressurection |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | He tries wayyy too hard to gross out the audience and you just think why would you put this in it? It's just stupid more than disturbing |
jrm96
09.18.12 | it's cuz a lot of people care about gore more than plots lately |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Only person that was cool in that movie was Ron Perlman he makes it watchable cause he's such a dick |
jrm96
09.18.12 | if they made a movie bout cockroaches, then i guess that would scare me also |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Andcas you know they actually used real spiders right and yay someone else who hates spiders |
jrm96
09.18.12 | i can tolerate spiders, just grab my shoe and squish it |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | Spiders are terrifying in real life but bugs never bother me in movies. |
ViralOblivion
09.18.12 | Did anybody know that Andy serkis is directing second unit of the hobbit? |
jrm96
09.19.12 | hmm, his first directing credits |
Treeman
09.19.12 | franchises just end up shitty but my favorite is probably halloween |
jrm96
09.19.12 | fuk yea |
jrm96
09.19.12 | well when they're that big, i'd shit my pants |
jrm96
09.19.12 | burn them all |
ViralOblivion
09.19.12 | Andy serkis had directed a few small things nothing big but he has been around some amazing directors in his time, and rise of the planet of the apes was surprisingly great |
ViralOblivion
09.19.12 | I think he directed the cutscenes in the game enslaved he's done a few things he's very talented |
jrm96
09.19.12 | I liked him in Planet |
YankeeDudel
09.19.12 | So I watched the first Hellraiser yesterday. Never saw it before fully actually. I thought it was good. All the effects still hold up very well. It wasnt scary but it was a solid movie. Kind of proto torture porn in spots even as it relied more on gore than scares. The biggest disappointment though is that Pinhead is barely in the thing. Dudes a G tho. |
jrm96
09.19.12 | he scares me |
