Essential The Official Coli Horror Film Thread: Discussion, Recommendations And Murder.

I seriously doubt that will happen. The two studios (Paramount and....not sure who else) that own Freddy and Jason called up Sam Raimi, he heard them out. Then they called Bruce Campbell to see if he was interested....he said "ok cool, so at what point in the movie do I kill them?" and the studios "uh....you don't kill them" and he hung up on them.

He said Ash kills monsters, if he's not killing monsters why is he in the movie?

Fred.

Studio heads are so ridiculous. Of course you have Ash kill Freddy and Jason by the end of the film even if you come up with some loophole for how to bring them back for a sequel if the movie is a success.

Can someone give me an actual scary movie to watch

In the same boat...I had hopes for conjuring 2 since the first was kinda but they went all melodramatic...

I may rewatch session 9 or 1408, both are still creepy to me

When Will We Get New Movies for Freddy, Jason, and Other Slashers?

I been thinking about this lately

I feel like the Horror characters from the late 70s - early 80s (Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Leatherface) don't have the same impact as they did back then. I always felt Halloween was the most realistic (the 1st one in particular) being I can see that shyt actually happening in a small town. But the whole aura of being "scared" of those guys doesn't seem to resonate today. I actually liked Rob Zombie's Halloween, but it still didn't have that feel like the 1st one where Michael Myers was a regular sized dude and you had no clue where and when he'd show up and or why he was murking people. Now you gotta know the entire back story. After you do 9-10 of the same type of movie inevitably it's gonna dumb itself down. Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street became slapstick comedies after a while and Texas Chainsaw Massacre outside of the 1st one weren't really scary movies more than gory flicks (and ironically the 1st movie you see no gore at all and its regarded as one of the Goriest Movies Ever). Its kinda like Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, etc for us was . I'm sure we're gonna see a new Halloween and Friday the 13th at some point but those movies now are simple cash grabs cause they dont cost a lot to make and they clock in at least $10 Mill opening weekend which a lot of times is what it cost to make.

I kinda wanna see this

Yeah you have to find a way to make them relevant the same way universal made their icons relevant in the 90s and are trying to do now

Looks like it has potential

I really do think the only way to make them work is to take them back to their core from when they first appeared and ignore any inclinations to look at the characters as the pop culture icons they eventually became.

Michael Myers is just a regular human lunatic who escaped from a mental institution and terrorized a middle class suburb for a night. Not a 7' hulking monster with mystical ties to ancient orders of druids.

Jason Voorhees is just a violent deformed psychopath with a vendetta against anyone who comes within range of his neck of the woods. Not an unstoppable murder zombie.

Freddy Krueger is a sadistic child murderer who uses his newfound supernatural abilities to get revenge on the parents who killed him in a pique of vigilante justice by offing their children. Not a wisecracking serial killing Bugs Bunny.

off all those, i think freddy has the most juice. the others are just kinda campy at this point. but freddy give you slasher, paranormal, and vulnerability (i.e. being attacked in your sleep)

Anyone watch the Netflix movie I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House?


It was a chore to get through. I understand the type of movie it was going for but it was all mood over substance and bored the hell out of me.

 

[porque]

A lot of new horror movies out because of Halloween, no one has found a gem in the straight to video set?

I'm going through shyt I missed. There's so many movies that have come out over the past 50 years, TCM or Amazon will keep you fed if you're on the lookout

 

[Jello Biafra]

I'm watching Cell right now. So far its been pretty decent.

Margot ain't doing that.

I think Halloween and nightmare are the best shots at being really good. But I've never really been a fan of Friday the 13th. I thought the 09 flick was dope and like maybe two others in the series. To me, it's a lot of trash and fukkery

It doesn't have to be Margot breh. But I bet there's 1 young A-lister who would do it because she digs slashers or just for the paycheck.

Friday the 13th 1-4 are classics. Best example of how to progress a story thru a horror franchise I can think of. 1: mom avenging son, 2: son avenging mom, 3: finds the hockey mask, becomes the Jason we all know now, 4: meets his nemesis and dies.
The rest are trash and fukkery tho. Like, they sent dude to space.
