    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?

    if i remember right this is basically what happened and then it got butchered in the process of making it

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

    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.

    i guess the last one was a really good movie that was actually big 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

    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

    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

    Actually wait a minute

    re: Final Destination 5
    It's a prequel to the first one but they don't address why nobody is dressing like it's fucking 1999 and using relatively archaic technology?

    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

    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:

    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.

    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.

    the first one is pretty great

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
