Movies: Horror Movie Discussion

He agreed to make a Silent Night, Deadly Night movie, but didn't want to make it about Christmas? Sounds like Yuzna.

Definitely something fishy here. The movie's made of skits and ideas thrown out of the Society script too.

Smile: 3/10

Is what it is with the usual ups and downs of someone trying to escape the inescapable. Spoiler: they don't escape.

Smile 2: 2/10

It seems the only point of enjoyment is seeing how everyone interconnects. When you establish that you can't defeat whatever the evil is, sequels seem really pointless.

A quiet place: 3/10

This bored me. My scores might be a bit harsh for this and Smile 1, but I don't agree with myself grading one higher than the other. The monsters and their twitchiness in a world that is noisy as hell...and then their apparent weakness...I just couldn't buy into their premise.

I forgot to post the podcast we did on Speak No Evil and its remake. You have to skip about 7 or 8 minutes of fantasy football talk. Couldn’t be helped. Cohost had an all time bad beat in the playoffs and he didn’t even know the extent of it.



Also, since someone mentioned Possession last page…We talked about it on our Thanksgiving episode. It’s one of my favorite movies and my cohost hadn’t seen it. We talk about Event Horizon and In The Mouth of Madness beforehand…the theme of Thanksgiving episodes is to give thanks to an actor for three of their horror roles. So we were giving thanks to Sam Neill. Mostly to get my friend to watch Possession. Btw…he’s joking in his final assessment. He loves the movie and has mentioned it on subsequent episodes.

My buddy and his wife tried to watch Possession last week and told me they quit an hour in and the acting was too weird for them and they couldn't hang. It is so interesting how different people respond to it. Art house and more out there movies definitely aren't their usual style. They are more traditional jump scare or slasher horror types. But cool you have a podcast about it.

I watched it a few years ago and didn't care for it, myself. Artsy and "out there" films aren't usually my thing, either, so that tracks.
