final destination rules because it's just a bajillion rube goldberg machines

except instead of cooking an egg a teenager gets shot wtih a nail gun

Metzger Meister · April 2012

The sequel for bwp seemed to me like one of those scripts that started out as a decent stand alone film that got a name tacked onto it for the purpose of selling tickets, you know what I mean?

Hobnail · April 2012

Isn't Candyman the Final Destination now?

that's actually a pretty common thing in Hollywood, from what I understand.

They Live is one of those movies I just cannot understand anyone liking in any way. It was just so so awful.

fuck you

Bucketman · April 2012

They Live is a movie I cannot understand people disliking in any way. Its just such a fun movie

Lord_Snot · April 2012

Magic Pink in contrarian opinion shocker!

Also, I actually like the Final Destination movies. They're awful films, but watching smug little pricks get killed in increasingly Rube Goldbergish ways is quite fun.

Hobnail · April 2012

Plus now the Candyman is in them

Spoiler:

set before the first movie

which wasn't revealed until the kids get on a plane at the end and the fight from the first movie, that gets those kids thrown off the plane, breaks out in front of them

Haha, this is actually pretty cool

Grey Ghost · April 2012

I've only seen like the first 10 minutes of Big Trouble in Little China but I plan to correct this some day

Also, I didn't see Blair Witch Project until like, 4 years ago? And it was surprisingly effective
The last few minutes still sets my nerves on edge like whoa

Buttlord · April 2012

you know why

because the house is the only part of it that's really scripted

that whole thing was set up to achieve exactly one effect: freaking you the fuck out

the audio and video coming from different cameras, the little handprints along the walls and railings at about a child's height (watch it again and pay attention) the whole thing is just constructed to be a modern day haunted house as seen in the first person

Grey Ghost · April 2012

Actually wait a minute

re: Final Destination 5

Spoiler:

Buttlord · April 2012

from what i understand they keep shit like that to a minimum

i haven't seen it yet though!

Xehalus · April 2012

POKÉMON MASTER WT SHERMAN · April 2012

final destination 4 was so much fun

the tow truck scene, the endless red herrings in the salon

i still need to see 5

Enc · April 2012

Not sure if it is mentioned here yet, but there is a 12 episode show called Another that is a damn solid horror.

I would describe it as Final Destination: The Anime. It's currently showing for free on Crunchyroll: http://www.crunchyroll.com/another

POKÉMON MASTER WT SHERMAN · April 2012

fd3 too actually

"well, your buddy just got his head smashed in the gym, sorry about that. here's some free sultans merch though"

all of them

all of them are great

Lord_Snot · April 2012

I'm watching Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County just before I go to bed.

Can someone tell me why I'm doing this?

EDIT: And now every anonymous noise in the house is aliens. D:

Well, looks like I've got another comic series to read.

Thanks a lot Weaver

#pipe · April 2012

Blair Witch Project is the only movie that has genuinely scared me and left me scared as an adult.

It taps into the shit that really really gets to me. Not even the end bit, but the constant, unknown malevolence, never showing itself.

Lord_Snot · April 2012

I just realized that I was making subconscious plans about how to defend my house if Aliens try to attack.

Walking into a dark kitchen and then turning around to see this staring at me most certainly summoned a few grey hairs.

For the rest of the night I kept imagining it standing up and running at me.

I also haven't seen any Alien movies or the thing, and from the clips I've seen I don't want to

Body horror really messes me up

there's not too much body horror in either alien or the thing

the scary part of the thing is not knowing who around you is who they say they are and who's really been infected by an alien

Yeah, it's practically all shooty shooty in Aliens. There's one chestburster scene, but it goes by quick, like the movie is going, "Yeah, this is a thing that we had to jam in here to remind you that these things can do that ok bye enjoy the rest of the movie."

You're varying the plan for different species of aliens, I hope?

Because my Sectoid plan is a lot more detailed than the Chryssalid one.

Man, I'm not even supposed to like horror why do I wanna read the Hellraiser comics now?

I have never seen a Hellraiser movie and I probably never will

the first one is pretty great

probably the best thing based on one of barker's stories

Looking at the overview of the movies, it looks like it's doing that thing where the further they go along the in the sequels, the more they screw around with the original backstory.

It's a slasher movie without the slasher.

The comics pretty much take 1 & 2, with parts of 3 & 4 as canon. The rest can fuck off.

miscellaneousinsanity · April 2012

welp just finished watching They Live because of this thread
Not Carpenter's strongest film but it definitely has merit. Wonder how many Illuminati conspiracy theorist youtubers are fans of it.

RubberAC · April 2012

when i was a kid i watched the sixth sense and i had horrible, horrible nightmares from it for months
like waking up in a cold sweat terrified nightmares

now the only thing that scares me is heights, wide open spaces, enclosed spaces, death, and scary video games.
but movies? i literally cannot take them seriously enough to be scared
i guess i'm pretty lucky.
at the same time i wish there were more "scary movies" that were solidly "good movies"
if you guys have some recommendations i'd be willing to watch them.
drunk post.
