Horror movies are supposed to end in a blood bath of the innocent.

[Starfish]

What fucking gives now a days?

I want gore, death of virgins and innocent blood for fuck sake, but hollywood has really never gotten a clue about what makes good horror movies. What about movies like Motel Hell, and well duh... Evil Dead and Evil Dead deux? The Hills have Eyes, and Dawn of the Dead?


Now we are blessed with boring shit like That crap I can't even remember the name of with Bruce Willis and the kid who saw dead people. I could see that he was dead from the get go. Who didn't? BoOOORINNNNG.
Bad ending all across the board.
I could use other examples, but why bother. I know you know what I am talking about.

I just watched 13 Ghosts in hopes that it would lead away from this touchy feely crap that is predominating the horror movies of today. I won't say much against the film, because the effects where amazing, and the story idea isn't half bad, but I ask....

What good are special effects it you can't keep up with your audiance's desire to see the innocent slain and murdered?

I mean really, Do you think that Ash was lucky enough to get his kakeling ditz of a girl friend back in the end?

NO!

NOT ONLY DID SHE DIE, BUT HE HAD TO HACK HER TO PEICES HIMSELF AND THEN BURY THE BITCH!

Now that is classic gore.

What is pissing me off so much is the fact that they destroy a perfectly good story by having Good prevail over Evil. What the fuck is it good for then? It is called a horror movie, not a 'scary but happy' movie. yEAh! We might as well have rented a movie about butterflies and bunny rabbits.

Okay, so yes, someone has to survive, but otherwise no more than two should get out alive.

Give me a fucking break. When four people live..... well, that is a waste of some good gore potential.

I think today "Horror" movies are as you say not gorry enough. They have gone all Hi-Tech on us with effect & stuff.

I have a friend thats a Horror buff & he hasn't dragged me to the movies with him in a long ass time. I just looks like to me that there aren't any people out there making those "B-Horror" movies of yester-year. (God do I feel old)

Now days you have movies making fun of those old horror moives. Like Scary Movie Triology & dang I forget the other series. I think people are getting too "Politically Correct" to make these things.

BTW~ the Bruce Willis moive is call "Sixth Sense"

 

[Sillyman]

Blood is dull. Dull, dull, dull. I've seen gore and guts and frankly I'm just not impressed. Horror is psychological. It's not just horrific because Ash had to cut his girlfriend to pieces it was the emotional betrayal behind it. I though Motel Hell was good. I also thought it was funny and about as scary as a supermarket trip.

Congrats on figuring out the ending to Sixth Sense and ruining for yourself. Nice fucking work. You mean you want something less predictable like the Friday 13 sequels that are basically the same shit over and over? Bunch of people in the woods. They die. Well, I'm fucking scared

 

[scylis]

you went to The Sixth Sense thinking it was horror? i call it supernatural drama. that's why i went. and i liked it, too, even though, like you, i did ruin the ending for myself.

 

[heterotic]

I'd have to agree; a lot more supernatural drama/suspense is being produced now than true horror or slasher films. Jason 2097 or whatever that movie coming out is should make ya happy, but I think the problem with new movies is the lack of Bruce Campbell.
After being ash he moved to Xena, then to Jack of All Trades, and I haven't seen him since those went off the air . As a rule of thumb, I prefer girls, but he's one of the few famous guys I've had a bit of a crush on.

 

[Tyrael]

Evil Dead was horror?

Looked like comedy with a touch of gore to me.

I laughed more at this than at most the comedy movies I've seen.

 

[SpectralDragoon]

I saw the previews. I cannot believe they're putting another Jason movie out.

Lets all stand around and beat a dead horse or something.

At least Freddie had the whole dream thing going on. Maybe we'll see him back too?

Hah, I couldn't have said it better myself. I'd far prefer the makers of the film to assume I have some sort of intelligence as well as a scare factor rather than cater to my (what I consider) lesser "fascination" with blood and gore. I'm not a huge fan of horror or supernatural drama or whatever in general because I'm a pussy and get too scared, but when I do see one, I'd rather be scared than grossed out. Actually, star, I'm surprised you're such a fan of the "lesser" stuff and turned off by that which actually plays to your intelligence (or maybe not in your case, if you figured it out so soon -- too bad).

 

[Tyrael]

I'd prefer to see all new evil bastards in movies instead of resurrecting old villains for the umpteenth time.

 

[heterotic]

Now, Resident Evil? That made me jump several times. A bit of good old-fashioned gore there, too, like in the laser trap. And Milla Jovovich made it all worthwhile there at the end.

There's a difference between being startled and being scared.

One day I want to go see a movie that scares me so much I can't bring myself to watch the whole thing. Then later I take the movie and hide it somewhere.

Besides, if your a fan of the games the RE movie is a disappointment. A stupid licker is the main enemy...not the living death machine called Tyrant. Even a Hunter would have been a better choice.

As for the Red Queen...even the ultra shallow Wesker from RE 1 had more character than she did.

 

[SpectralDragoon]

I did jump once or twice during RE. And that laser scene was just damned cool. Other than that I was unimpressed, but it was cool seeing what they could take and run with from a video game concept.

LoL, you obviously haven't watched many video game movies.

 

[SpectralDragoon]

Nope, not really, and you aren't recommending!

If I were you, I'd avoid them like the plague.

I'll list some of the more insidious ones when I get back later...see ya!

 

[Phoenyx]

GO see final Destination.
Lots of wierd deaths there.

 

[JazzManJim]

I'm with you fishie!

What the hell happened to the staple of horror movie: the slasher film?

You have sex? You die!
You explore the basement, attic, abandoned barn alone? You die!
You take a shower? You die!
You try to escape in a car mid-movie? You die!
You're not the hero/heroine, pluckly sidekick, or love interest? You die!!

Let's get back to the freaking classics here. Millions of movie viewers can not be wrong! No more namby-pamby moralizing about the psychology of the killer. No more banding to gether to show that the solidarity of the righteous can withstand even the most hard-core psycho killer. Just ball-peen hammers, machetes, nail guns, power drills, threshing machines, wood chippers, and pitchforks! The hero and the psycho face off and the only way the hero can win is to get the psycho and set him on fire, shoot him a dozen times, push him in front of a moving train, detonate an explosion on top of him, and douse him in salt so he can't grow back again! And even that doesn't guarantee it!

Let's get back to the movie ending where, having vanquished the villian for now, the hero and one other person (maybe!) face a sunrise that no longer looks so cheery and hopeful as the camera pans away from them...

Hopefully that will be like the old ones.

*yawn*


I love when some people, who have no idea who or what I am about as a person, seem to supposedly have a firm grasp of my overall likes and dislikes figured out, based on one late night, off the wall rant in a post.

*yawn*

I think the implication that the psycological effect is always more devistating than blood and gore. I am sort of trying to figure out where it was that I said that this wasn't important. I think it was kind of the point that if four people walk away without being in need of years of therapy, then something is lost in the story.

The only thing that is an insult to my intelligence is the idea that people take me seriously and act as if I am a fucktard for thinking that most modern movies that are in the horror sector of movie making suck because the endings are badly masked over and played out.

It is an opinion. "Lesser" of value, I guess, but You don't have to insult me.

*yawn*

Oh, c'mon Starfish. You know enjoying a guilty, mindless pleasure every once in a while disqualifies you from being a member of the intellectual elite! What were you thinking? (BTW, I've never played Unreal Tournament Gold in my life. Nope. Wasn't me.)

I must have been ousted long before now then.

To all you critical loosers...

Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting season.

[SpectralDragoon]

Final Destination was a big piece of crap.

The only cool part of that movie was when the persons blood cells burst in their eyes as they were asphyxiating.

Other wise, major crappage.

At least... I think that was the movie...
