The Village. Talk about getting tricked into watching a museum tour movie.
We're just about at the theater doors to leave and I made a comment like" knowing this director its probably takes place today or something stupid." So the person I was with was like now we need to find out and we went back to our seats. Thanks Ryan.
Only movie I've ever started to walk out on and I wish I did. 1

Reply to If your favorite movie is not a "universially adored movie" (i.e. Forrest Gump, Titanic) or "classic" (Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind) why is it your favorite movie? by [deleted]
Layer Cake. I used to work continental shift and each month when I needed to switch shifts I would watch through my ripped movies and Layer Cake would end up being on the playlist more often than not. The dry British humour, the story, the dialogue, the soundtrack, the cast: it's all golden.

I personally feel like Marc is too up his own ass lately. 5+ years ago I would've checked this out, but I can't move jive with his style anymore.

Reply to comment by Muldertak in Canadian low-budget horror film Skinamarink is incredible. But lower your expectations by BurstYourBubbles
Yeah same, I quit on this after the first 20 mins. The grainy VHS style gimmick was neat for a while, but not being able to make anything out on the screen gets annoying very quick. For the budget I'd say it was a decent shot at trying something new but didn't translate into a memorable experience for me.

I was more annoyed at the multiple fake outs used in the movie, got pretty tiresome.

It took me over 25 years to spot it, but in Halloween 4 just after deputy Logan reassures Rachel that the troopers will be there soon you see Michael Myers's face in the background and then fade into the darkness when Logan turns in his direction.
It's very quick and subtle.

Honestly, I don't get the hype for this film. It is a typical jump scare movie that had a good idea. But the execution is horrible. I mean, there is a jump scare in almost every single scene!
It is a shame because I thought the film started off really well. But in the end it turned into something that would only impress most 16 year olds. A bit like M3gan.
So, yeah, I am a bit lost about what people like about it so much.

In Alien you can see the Xenomorph hiding in plain sight. It just looks like a piece of equipment in the cargo area.

A Man Called Otto is a direct remake for Western audiences of A Man Called Ove. It’s the same film repurposed for a new audience.
Gran Torino is entirely different but does share some of the same themes

Sp are you saying the movie should have been the same just without the jump scares? Or are you saying they should have made a different movie? If the former, the movie would have been very thin without the jump scares. This wasn't a Hereditary level script that could carry without any jump scares. Thenjump scares were part pf the sauce. But if you mean the latter, well I don't know what to tell you. 'They should have made a different movie' isn't really criticism. But I can see why you would want another Hereditary style horror movie.

Reply to comment by DemonicFluffyMog in Let's talk about how Sinister is probably one of the scariest horror movies of all time by VeryBonelessPizza
I don't agree that sinister I'd the scariest film either but none of those are scary. Moreso disturbing/extreme but not scary in the way that sinister is considered

I'm with you. I actually felt nauseous in the theatre. Low-res digital double Leia just tweening on back into the ship. It was so cheesy and disrespectful.

>These are all things that Slowik plays into. He lives apart from the other workers, and is treated differently. He builds a reputation and mystique around himself, and his workers are treated in a dehumanized fashion.
And arguably, Slowik punishes himself for exactly this. Or rather the sous chef is the one that came up with the idea for them to all die in the end. Slowik is not innocent, he knows this and accepts his own death as part of the piece.

Ghostwatch and the inside number 9 Halloween special are the only pieces of media where I've been too afraid to look for the hidden details because of how subtle and terrifying they are

Reply to war/history movies by Consistent-Exam-1627
Gallipoli (1981) was our nations baby, even featured local Mel Gibson before his break out role in lethal weapon. Nearly every one watched it at school at least once in the lead up to Remembrance Day. Movie builds the nervous tension excellently and the finale minutes are heartbreaking.
Also a big fan of Andrew Garfield in Hacksaw ridge, his on screen dad Hugo Weaving and his trauma and intensity nearly over shadows the movie, but Garfield’s portrayal of Desmond t doss shows what depths bravery has without the flash or propaganda some war movies rely on.

Reply to comment by theagitatedapricot in Over 2 months ago, I put a video together about the appearance of Heather Donohue's voice from Blair Witch Project (who changed her name to Rei Hance in 2021) and how she was not credited or paid for her voice appearing in Academy Award Nominee, Tár. by HalpTheFan
The marketing for that movie was so famous, and spoofed a lot. I remember a scene where she’s snotty crying in the film was popular to mock. I agree that she was great. I think the Razzies must have nominated her to grab attention because of just how widespread the attention to that scene was.
