Rip Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Saw Tusk tonight. Holy shit you guys. Holy SHIT. Sooo jealous. There was an early showing last night at the closest theater playing it (about 40 minutes away), but I couldn't go cause I had to get up at 4:40 this morning so I had to sleep . Oh well, looking at Tinseltown's schedule for it, it's gonna be there for at least another week. Gonna go see it next week for sure! I can't wait.

hippielauryn Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Just went through this whole thread and made a list of movies I haven't seen. This is going to be fun since I know most of you guys have good taste by what I've seen on here. Some of my favorite Horror movies are the comedy/horror genre. Cabin in the Woods, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, Hell Baby, Evil Dead (new and old) are just some that come to mind, but I love all horror movies and will watch anything in that genre no matter how good or bad it is.

Bladewillisisdead Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The theater here is playing Tusk but all I just want to see The Guest. I hated Human Centipede. I don't need to see Kevin Smith's weed induced "Dude but what if it was a WALRUS" take on it. At least not for $12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human Centipede was good for what it was.... torture porn. It was competently made & pretty effective in its nauseating endeavors. I refuse to watch part II.

Satan Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I haven't seen it but after reading about how the director got his gf to do the puking real life for his "films" (also ReGOREgitated Sacrifice & Slow Torture Puke Chamber), I wasn't about to give them a second of my time. So you dug it? Out of pure curiosity I had to give them a chance. Some of it was pretty good but... Nope. Nope. Nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Speaking of Adam Wingard, anyone else here that he and Simon Barrett are set to remake I Saw The Devil? I'm pretty torn about it. I Saw The Devil is seriously one of my favorite movies, but this is a very big case of "WHY THE FUCK IS THIS BEING REMADE ALREADY!? AND ONLY A FEW YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL CAME OUT?!" I mean... Wingard and Barrett are obviously on top of their game right now (You're Next, The Guest), but still... Very unnecessary. http://www.fangoria.com/new/adam-wingard-simon-barrett-to-remake-i-saw-the-devil/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hecollec+or Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 You had me confused till I clicked on the link. It's I Saw the Devil & that's a movie that should never ever ever be remade. It's a fucking masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human Centipede was good for what it was.... torture porn. It was competently made & pretty effective in its nauseating endeavors. I refuse to watch part II. My problem with HC is that it's a movie that succeeded based on nothing but it's log line. "Scientist sees three people together mouth to anus." Boom, that's it. It's scarier and grosser than the film actually was. There was one or two effective sequences (if I'm being generous), but overall it never lived up to the horror of hearing about it. Tusk seems to be that except instead of people going "Dude this movie sounds FUCKED UP" and linking articles about the premise to each other its Kevin Smith and his buddy getting high and making each other laugh. I loved I Saw the Devil and the You're Next guys are some of the only filmmakers whose names being attached would give me any hope for the remake. I'm interested to see what they'll do with it. I'd prefer they do another original but maybe this remake will give them a boost career wise and their next project will be quicker to get funding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 So Tusk was... fucked up. It's definitely not Kevin's best work, but worth a watch for the absurdity alone. And I'm at Horror Nights. On line for the 6th house of the night (out of 8). It rained for about 4 straight hours and I'm soaked but having a blast. The Halloween house has been my favorite so far. So amazingly detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The genre just really needs to step up and create something new and exciting instead of going after what's already been done. I personally have no want for another remake.

The genre just really needs to step up and create something new and exciting instead of going after what's already been done. I personally have no want for another remake. I've accepted remakes as inevitable. Do we need a remake of a movie that came out a few years ago? No. But theres money there and the people who provide funding like that. It's safer to invest in something that already worked once. I like to think of it as a chance for a very promising up and coming director to prove himself to the "money men" so that he has more freedom to create in the future. This doesn't apply to every director behind a remake of course, a lot of the times it's just hacks. So yeah, ideally, we'd have more original films coming out but the way the business is right now, a promising director doing a remake can be a positive.

But it also leads to another remake that's not needed, which I see as a negative because it's unoriginal and he gets cast as "one of those guys" I'd rather see a new director and film than one I've seen 10x before.But for now we get what we get.

Bladewillisisdead Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I agree for the most part but like to look at it as a "glass half full" (which is the opposite of my outlook on life). BUT sometimes remakes can be worthwhile. John Carpenter's The Thing was a remake and I would never want to live in a world without it. Sometimes a new take on material by a different creative team can be really interesting and really good. Of course, most remakes ARE cookie cutter bullshit rather than reinterpretations. But for ever bland ass Oldboy there's going to be a Maniac. The Maniac remake was a fresh take on the material that updated it while remaining true to the original's spirit. I definitely agree that we need more original shit and less remakes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'm not gonna lie here, I've never seen maniac. Either of them!? Both are good if you're in the mood for some sleazy horror that makes you feel unclean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend watching the original first, but I think they're both pretty enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Pretty sure the remake is on Netflix still. I saw a 35mm print of the original last month and it was perfect. The grainy scratched up print is exactly how that movie should be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It was at a theater where on three separate occasions I saw in the parking lot: a couple fucking in their car, a used condom, and a used pregnancy test. Not in the order you'd assume either. To this day it haunts me that I didn't find a way to flip the pregnancy test over to see the result.

Kinda disappointed about the ending but definitely worth checking out once it hits Netflix Seriously? I just finished it, and as far as recent horror films go, I would give this as close to five stars as possible. This is the only flick in ten years that actually had me at the edge of my couch cushion. Seriously, it's an A film. Great film with great character development that really pulls at your emotions by the finale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
