[Movie] Halloween (2018 TRUE Sequel Starring Jamie Lee Curtis)

Will go see this cause of Jamie Lee Curtis. Feels too on the nose with Zombie's Halloween than it does Carpenter's original. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I will pay a ticket to see this.

 

Yes it's a continuation to the original film. I meant, it looks like Rob Zombie directed this based on the trailer. Micheal Myers going ham is entertainment in itself. The kills do look more inventive with style and that's just based on the trailer. I'll watch.

 

Hahhahaah. Is it me or horror threads on CF doesn't garner enough views. You know damn well marvel and star wars get like a gazillion pages with gazillion comments. Did horror died or something? Isn't Hereditary getting insane hype? Need more horror fans please.

 

Horror movies make a ton of money. I have no idea why the big studios are letting blumhouse make all the money. They rarely have large budgets and are easy to slap together. Big time directors used to make horror and now it is some seedy genre that just quietly gets everyone rich.

I mean "It" has made twice as much money as the last Star Wars film with 1/10 the budget. Insanity.

 

I used to be a huge horror fan, it used to be my favorite genre...horror movies have fallen off so much

a lot of them are just straight up garbage and have the laziest writing

the last horror movie I watched was “Insidious: The Last Key” off Redbox...that movie was so trash and had me watching it like



a lot of these slasher/gory horror films are just dumb, and a lot of these paranormal/demonic entity ones are a combo of stupid and not scary at all

we’ll get some good ones like “IT” and “A Quiet Place,” but a lot of them are more trash than Ryan Anderson and should be going straight to DVD never to be seen on the big screen

 

Well that movie made a ton of money on a microbudget so.....


Get Out, The Endless, The Witch

The era of found footage, total bore machines like Paranormal Activity seems to be over.

 

just because it made a ton of money doesn’t mean it wasn’t a trash movie

The Witch was alright, never seen the Endless, and like I said, we occasionally get that great horror movie like Get Out, but for every Get Out, there’s probably 10 horror movies that are just lazy, not scary, and/or just plain stupid

 

Agreed, the three Paranormal Activity movies made over 500 million. It's a genre ignored by the mainstream but it has quality available. I think you are getting out at the wrong time tho.

 

movies like Get Out, IT, and A Quiet Place keep me from giving up on the genre altogether...I hope it bounces back since it really did use to be my favorite genre

some of the bullsh*t I’ve seen the last couple of years has me jaded when it comes to horror man

 

What I gather from the hot spoiler sites and the preview they are ignoring the brother-sister angle, the eyes shoot out, Jamie from IV-VI, the whole Thorn cult business, John from the Dawson-Creek fied H20. Laurie being killed Resurrection, and absolutely everything else about Resurrection (Busta Rhymes, hidden footage, reality TV show, and Tyra). Definitely not ties to the Rob Zombie flicks. They are erasing the existing of nine movies.

• Am I the only who felt like Halloween 5, Halloween: the Curse of Michael Myers, and Resurrection were all the comedies in disguise of horror movies.

 

Probably because the Horror genre was over saturated with crap Zombie movies/shows and even if you didn't consider zombie movies to be horror movies, the general public probably did.

 

Too many zombies, too much torture p*rn, too many shakycam jump scares.

It's good to be here in the renaissance of actual horror movies.

 

I used to love zombie movies, up until about 2004-05, when they did the remake of Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead, pretty much after that I stopped liking Zombie movies for some reason. I watched Walking Dead for the first few seasons and left alone, same with Z-Nation.

 

Did you ever see the British short series that was zombies but set on the outside of a "Big Brother" type show? I thought that was cool and original.

 

They've said as much. It's a direct sequel to the first one. The rest are erased. The director thinks the brother/sister angle makes the story less scary.

 

The original two films were a big deal when I was a kid. 1978 and 1979.

I was ten when the original came out, so naturally I was good and scared.

Trailer for this new movie looks promising. I thought the one where they killed off Jamie Lee Curtis (I guess we have an alternate timeline now) was so very very lame; Myers hanging upside down atop a building, ankle in noose, and she hesitates before cutting the rope. "I just have to be sure." Tries to remove mask. STAB. "I'll see you in hell, Michael." Turns to producer: "Where's my check?"

 

I’m not really good at explaining without spoilers lol

Get Out was more like a thriller with bits of comedy and horror sprinkled, and it uses those in a way to make a social commentary on race

IT doesn’t have a ton of jump scares, it gives u more of this creepy feeling throughout the movie...I thought the story was good and I enjoyed the cast...Bill Skarsgard was a really good Pennywise IMO...I can’t wait for the 2nd chapter to be released

A Quiet Place has a good concept...imagine living your life trying to make as little sound as possible or else u die, I know I’d be gone in a minute...it gives u this tense feeling throughout the movie, and they do a good job of building up that world IMO

 

And John Carpenter is and Exec. Producer and worked on the score.
