Movies! The movie thread

Watched “Evil Dead Rise” last night. It was enjoyable. Normally not a horror fan but the gf was down to see it so we went. Wasn’t too scary.

Got that "Evil Dead" name so I'd hope it would continue on with that Sam Raimi look and feel, even though I think I read Sam is not a part of this. Loved those movies.

^ Watched the trailer and it is very Sam Raimi like. Just read Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are executive producers. Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures appears to be one of the production companies. Also read he picked the director.

Will watch when it comes to me.

Interestingly... I am a huge Horror fan. But this franchise has creeped me out more so than others. Due to the fact that I remember watching the originals as a kid and being freaked out. The last movie a few years ago was very disturbing. This looks to be as disturbing and reviews say it is and gory.
I'll consider watching it on digital release, during the day.

Watched Ant-man & Wasp Quantumania. Quite entertaining. Really enjoyed Johnathan Majors as Kang the Conquer!

Yeah, we read reviews prior to watching it and I was expecting to be creeped the fck out. Perhaps it’s being a crowded Dolby Digital theater that helped. I imagine watching it alone would be more scary. It definitely was gory.

Dude...what?

I think I saw your pix, you're like some big strong guy, what the...

Then again, I know someone who still *refuses* to watch The Exorcist.

The Evil Deads were alright, but I guess either I didn't follow it closely to understand how it worked exactly or it just seemed to 'randomly' infect ppl that's why I wasn't a huge fan of them.

Hey... There's a history with these.

I'm also afraid of heights and claustrophobic.

Surely you can't be referring to me, I'm battle-tested lol.

Being a bit more srs, it's my rl friend, I couldn't believe my ears when he told me, this grown man married w a kid. It's a decent horror, but flat-out refusing to view it?? Cmon....

Yeah, it’s a great horror classic. Speaking of, I just finished the TV series (again). Was pretty good as well.

flybigjet · 04-24-2023, 11:56 AM

You guys want terrifying?

With no blood, no gore, and maybe just a few bad words?

*Completely* psychological.

"The Vanishing".

Not repeat NOT the drivel/remake with Kiefer Sutherland-- you want the original one in German & Dutch w/ subtitles.

Flat-out most terrifying movie I've ever seen-- I watched it over 20 years ago and it sticks with me to this day.

M5Rick · 04-24-2023, 12:13 PM

An oldie but a goodie.
Race with the Devil with Fonda and Oates.

There's nothing like classic Sam Raimi.

Evil Dead 2

For sure, that's probably up there in terms of worst ways to die. Even burning alive or eaten by sharks or bears are better.

It's a thriller though. I'm still starved for a good horror, so few of those.

dreamingat30fps · 04-26-2023, 03:41 PM

Haven't been to the movies in years. Went the other day and watched Wick. First part of the movie was meh, the later part picked up and was better. The scene where the camera is taking a top down shot from the ceiling and he has that shot gun shooting fire... that was the money shot. Probably still my least favorite in the series.

Esteban · 04-26-2023, 03:47 PM

New trailer drops for The Flash.

Was a favorite comic of mine when I was a kid.

This seriously looks EPIC good!!!!

tranquility · 04-28-2023, 02:18 PM

I really dislike this 'latest' trend of thrillers. You guys see the latest Scream 6? It starts off interestingly enough but then it goes into some convoluted nonsense of rationalizing why the murders happen, it's like a contest to see who can invent the most subversive, complicated headache of a plot. Can't believe some ppl still pay to watch these.

I watched the first one. The rest of them… meh. 😑

Exactly, the first one was a trailblazer, but I couldn't even tell you which sequel is which, it just got progressively more ridiculous (kinda like the Halloween franchise...is Mikey finally dead yet? I should hope so w the metal grinder thingy haha).

Then the Wayan Bros made their parody, "Scary Movie." Again, the first one was good. Then... meh.

I remember you're not a fan of comedies, so probably not your cup of tea.
