They actually are working on a sequel to Tucker & Dale, although I'm cautiously optimistic since, even though I enjoyed the first one a lot, it was kind of all built around one joke to begin with.Quote:

Agree but Zombie has a good fan base. We'll see what happens. Sure hope it gets done.
I would support... but after watching "Lords of Salem", i'm not that excited for a Zombie film anymore...
Rob Zombie's a mixed bag when it comes to filmmaking. He started out strong with House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects is fantastic. It's certainly his best film. I really like Halloween, and while I understand why people didn't like it, you could have done a hell of a lot worse when it came to remaking such a horror classic. That said, Halloween II was shit, El Superbeasto was just not my cup of tea, and I've heard terrible things about Lords of Salem. It's an interesting concept to have the movie funded by fans, but the synopsis isn't the slightest bit original (then again, what modern horror movie is?) and reminds me of the video game Manhunt that came out ten years ago. Not exactly the same plot but that's what it reminded me of.
On another topic, I've hit a dry spell when it comes to horror movies. Can anyone recommend any recent releases?
i am in the same boat. i fucking LOVE horror but can never find anything good enough.Quote:

I assume you have seen Oculus, The Conjuring, Insidious 1 and 2 etc.
That being said, i came to this thread for the same reason. I can't find SHIT that is actually scary or at least dark and intelligent.
I go for the more paranormal type horror movies as opposed to slashers.
I've seen Insidious and Insidious: Chapter 2 and I thought both were great. As was The Conjuring, which is definitely a contender for one of the best horror movies of the last ten years. I wish James Wan would skip the Fast and Furious franchise and just keep making horror movies, as he's clearly on a creative high. It's a nice surprise considering I thought he was out for the count after the first Saw, which I love. However, Dead Silence and Death Sentence were not good, at all.Quote:

I'll check out Here Comes the Devil and Absentia, as well as the others you recommended. I liked Mama until they actually showed what 'Mama' actually looked like. I felt the last twenty minutes really killed the movie for me. Not what I was expecting and I didn't care for it that much.
Off the top of my head for recommendations: I Saw The Devil, You're Next, The Woman, The Innkeepers
"The Cabin in the Woods" and the remake of "Evil Dead" are the most decent horror films i've watched lately, the "Conjuring" it's ok, but highly overrated...Quote:

I really like Keifer Sutherland but never bothered watching Mirrors. Any good?
If the store has it tonight, I will buy Silence of the Lambs on blu-ray. I have heard the sound remastering is crap, drowned out and the overall transfer is a bit mediocre. I was wondering if anyone here can give a first hand statement of the quality to me. Regardless of how shit it may be, I'll probably still buy as no other forms exist.
I saw Mirrors and I really enjoyed it. It's worth a look.
@elevenism This is coming out I don't know when but it looks like something you'd like:

edit: release date in August 22.
It sounds like we have similar tastes, man. I've seen the inkeepers but not the other three. But if You're Next is anything like Funny Games, that shit is not my cup of tea. I don't like seeing people tortured to death both psychologically and physically.Quote:

Oculus is a must see for any supernatural horror fan.
edit: and thanks, @marodi the otter.
Not knocking you but you hate Funny Games for the shit it pulls with the murder angle after torture but like Anticrist which, in my opinion, has ten times worse content?Quote:

I can handle a wife murdering a husband (like in antichrist,) and even the baby dying.
What i CAN'T handle is seeing intruders come into a family's home and terrorize, kill and torture them, in front of each other no less.
It's just the way my mind works.
My very worst fear is someone breaking in and raping my wife in front of me and then killing me.
I wouldn't group Funny Games and You're Next together simply because of the way they're both executed. Funny Games is very disturbing and played through as a straight drama with a mean streak running through it. It's the emotional equivalent of a sadistic little kid pulling the legs off an ant while it writhes in pain or tearing the wings off a butterfly. There is a very sick feeling you get while watching it. You're Next is a horror-comedy. While the family is being killed off one by one, there's a lot of dry humor that puts a lot more enjoyment into the movie than something like Funny Games could ever muster. You're Next is The Strangers with a sense of humor.Quote:

Two of the strongest horror films to have been released in the last two years. I love Cabin in the Woods and fucking hate the fact that most people who watch it don't understand the whole thing is making fun of the horror genre. I worked at a movie theatre at the time of its release and I was baffled how easily the concept went over people's heads. The Evil Dead remake was better than I expected. I went in with an open mind and absolutely no expectations. Repeat viewings at home have made me really come to like it.
Antichrist blew my fucking mind. I ALMOST hesitate to call it horror because it is so artsy, but it IS pretty horrific.Quote:

That's absolutely brilliant. That's the most spot on analysis of why any movie will affect people differently: it's all about how we relate to it.Quote:

I'm about to watch the remake of Evil Dead. Looking forward to it.
If I were to classify it as anything, I'd say its a comedy. A highly sophisticated and subtle comedy, but certainly a comedy, possibly one of the greatest ever made. First half a satire of American life in the 70s of a culture, a culture that was trying to flee from the horrors of the Vietnam War it experienced just years before and live in denial; and the second half a violent, disturbing parody of z-grade monster flicks and Hollywood machismo and dick-waving.Quote:

Anyways, I really enjoyed that remake of the Evil Dead and am looking forward to a sequel if they do one as I've read.
To anyone that's never looked into it, the new Curse of Chucky film is worth a watch. A good return to form after the black comedy films that Bride and Seed introduced. I only hated Chucky's hair in the new film, in all honesty.
Fox is releasing a special set of new Faceplate cover blu-ray horror film releases on September 9th. I'm going to nab Silence of the Lambs and Jeepers Creepers. The latter is a film my friend has loved and I've always wanted to see but never did. Now 11 years later I'm going to blind buy it and watch it. I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Anyone here like?
"Curse of Chucky" was great, a good return to the "horror roots of the franchise", i like "Jeeper Creepers" too, the movie is nothing from another world but it's damn entretaining and funny at times, i really like the locations too

As for the sequel..... don't bother.
