The first 30 minutes are awesome, and then it's a mind F for almost 2 more hours. I still need to watch Empty Man. I've heard good things. I've been so busy with work, I haven't watched much of anything recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devpool Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Not big on the horror genre but watched insidious the other night and it was Fing terrible. I know it's old but I thought I remembered people saying it was great and scary when it had come out. It was atrocious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they could have done a lot more with that storyline, but nothing about it made it scary.

Nothing happens for like 40 minutes except the kid falls off a ladder, then the whole thing is explained by.....astral projection? Absolutely ridiculous lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I watched the Conjuring again last night. My memory of the film was that it was better and scarier than that. What a load of rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of the Conjuring and the entire franchise that's been created because of it. One of the Annabelle movies was pretty dumb, but I hope they keep making them The third one looks good too!

devpool Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Is the Nun part of the conjuring or something else? Because that one also wasn't really scary at all, but I remember seeing maybe 5 minutes of the Conjuring on deployment and immediately walking out because in that 5 minutes I had already been scared to death and I could not handle more than I had taken in lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory of the film was that it was better and scarier than that. What a load of rubbish. One of the basc theories of film appreciation is that one's perception of a film is heavily influenced by context. It's why millenials often dis films like The Exorcist while Boomers were generally blown away when it originally premiered. The efx in the film were cutting age and mind-blowing back then, but millenials who watch it have already seen dozens of other films with sophisticated efx. Obviously the first time you saw The Conjuring you weren't expecting the scares. This time around they lost their shock effect. IMHO even the weakest films in the "Annabel universe" are better than most of the crap being produced these days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horror films have been pushing the boundary so much over the 30 some years that on rewatch it’s becoming desensitized. Even if you saw it once already it’s never the same rewatching for the same reason. My personal experience is The Hills Have Eyes remake. Watching it the first time had some disturbing scenes. Watching it again a few years later it wasn’t anywhere close to the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely agree with you there bud. My issue with horror films these days is they rely more of special FX and gore. Suspense, music, atmosphere are much more effective in my opinion.

mr_irie1 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Recently watched the 2020 Grudge movie while on a flight. I thought it was fair. It kind of told multiple stories within the movie that all came together at the end. It's not winning any awards or anything but I've definitely seen worse horror movies than this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hputenis Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Just saw the Clovehitch Killer on Netflix for the first time last night. I highly recommend. Dylan McDermott is awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepard Wong Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I watched Psycho Goreman this week. I found it to be pretty funny but it's not for everyone. It's basically a throwback 80s kids movie mixed with the man in suit monsters from Ultraman/Power Rangers plus a sick sense of humor and over the top gore played for laughs. A brother and sister accidentally dig up a long buried alien who was once stopped from destroying the universe. The kids hold an amulet that makes him obey them. Hijinks ensue. It's from one of the directors of the Void, but is a very different tone than that movie. One of the more fun movies I've watched in a while. I'll definitely re-watch this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been really looking forward to this and have read nothing but hilarious and positive reviews. I'll be watching this weekend while my wife is at her friend's baby shower!
