My thought as usual is just why. They already delivered what I wanted from a modern SLDN movie with Terrifier 3. If they were taking requests, it's not what I would've asked for. But, I will Trust the Plan.

I'm really hoping that the filmmakers explore the psychological aspects of the original Silent Night, Deadly Night. Yeah, the gore is fun, Linnea Quigley at her peak is awe-inspiring, the guy screaming "PUNISH!" and "NAUGHTY!" as he slaughters people is top tier slasher movie-making. But, there is more to this flick.

The first half is like Maniac, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Angst, and Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (Fuck you Joe Bob, I watched a docu where he shit on this one). You get to see this little kid being transformed by trauma, repression, and Catholic Guilt building him up to become a murder machine in a Santa outfit. It's genius and I mean that genuinely.
 
I finally watched The Blob (1988 ) last night. I've been interested in it since I saw the RLM ReView on it and learned about the talent behind it (a script by Frank Darabont?!)... but, honestly, I've also kind of avoided it because I assumed it would be particularly grisly.

And yeah, it's grisly. It's one of the most mean-spirited mainstream horror films I've seen in a while, and it has some of the most horrific deaths. But! The script is perfect (the dark comedy was a smart addition), the cast is strong (I :heart-full: Shawnee Smith), and the special effects are really something to behold. It never hits the highs of The Thing in any of those categories, but from now on I will consider both films in the same category: "80s horror remakes that surpass the original."

So yes, everyone is right: it's a horror classic. I think it could have used more nudity, but that's a minor nitpick.

The Blob is one of the most underrated remakes. It's a crime it bombed. It's also a weird thing that in the 80's we had some of the greatest remakes ever and they were two-word titles that start with the word "the" like The Fly, The Thing, and The Blob. It seems like putting "the" in front of a title is the key to making a good remake.

You're supposed to have watched it at 10 years old so it scars you for life but good enough.

Popeye better snap after killing wimpy, and in shock is asked "What are you?"

Dramatic face turn, scare chords

"I am what I yam olive oyl. "

More like he punches a sweet potato through someone and then says "I yam what I yam."

But yeah, I suspect this will just be throw away streamslop a la the Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse "horror" trash.

So there's word of a Popeye horror movie coming is that true?
Presiona para expandir...
It's happening.

After all this time, I've realized that the Wishmaster franchise has held up fairly well.


The first one being the best of the 3 4 movies, of course. But the 2nd one is hilarious.

Oh crap they're not gonna make an Aladdin horror movie in the future are they?

Looks like they did, back in 2013. The whole movie is up on youtoob.

I guess it's not pretty good, but I commend them for the effort anyways. There's an untapped potential in horror movies featuring Arabic myths and urban legends.

Yeah since with the more things come to the public domain, a lazy slasher will cash in.

Popeye could make for fun horror, mainly having Popeye fight powerful horrors could have potential for an action horror comedy

This was one of Tobe Hooper's last and it was shot in Saudi Arabia and everything. It's really bad and has nothing to offer. No nudity, no gore, and no twisted psycho white trash family shit.

I remember all the talk of how when things get into the public domain, it'll open a treasure trove of creativity from independent creators. Instead all we get it generic edgy horror slop.

Horror, and slashers especially, are some of the cheapest types of films to make while also promising a chance of big profit on the back end. The entire playbook for Blumhouse is to churn out cheap horror by lot and hope one turns into a sensation.
