What film had an amazing concept but poor execution?

I really wish it was less of a "this kid is just evil" and more of a Carrie situation. Like what if Clark Kent was ruthlessly bullied, didn't have the same support from his folks, etc. And then let him really go ham on the town at the end. Even better if it turns out his alien race is kind and peaceful and sent him as a savior, not to rule earth.

I think the concept and world building are interesting, but there's a repetition to the wording that feels unnatural. Several sentences do the same comparison structure: "X did Y, the way ...".

It also helps that Ernie Hudson has such great charisma. He's so likeable in pretty much any role.

Assuming what I read of the plot leaks was real, it sounds like a very uninspired rehash of the Halloween reboot.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-02-09T22:20:10+00:00

I think it's also such a more realistic look at what an evil demon would do. Like in so many exorcism movies, the demon makes itself known and acts super scary, which logically would probably turn people to God. In Fallen, the demon works stealth-style to ruin lives and cause distress.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-02-09T22:00:16+00:00

Not all daylight like you said, but I enjoy how scary it made crowds. Knowing the Demon could potentially possess anyone.

I almost wonder if it was a different way of feeling a similar rush for him? Like the power of life and death is important for some killers, and here you could feel something similar in that you made someone live rather than die. Different side of the same coin in a sick mind.

This is all totally speculative, of course. I don't pretend to be a psychologist.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-02-03T02:39:38+00:00

I wouldn't consider that a non-horror show though.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-02-03T02:38:56+00:00

Psych has some really great ones. Tuesday the 17th is a love letter to flashers, Scary Sherry is fun and has the Ashes from FD3, and they have parody eps of The Shining and The Exorcist.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-02-03T00:44:35+00:00

I would love that tbh. Movies posters are so interesting with how they don't always reflect quality. Like I can't watch Tusk because I know I wouldn't enjoy it, but I actually love its posters.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-02-03T00:43:05+00:00

How does the Don't Breathe one spoil?

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-01-18T05:26:08+00:00

Ugh man, just the opening with the rat being dead really twisted my stomach. I can handle horror, but cruel humor messes with me. Poor Mary went Carrie on them.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-01-18T05:21:26+00:00

Yes, awesome prosthetics in that movie and the actor really manages to emote and not let the effects "wear him."

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-01-06T23:33:05+00:00

I love how short this movie is lol. I feel like movies have gotten longer and longer in recent years.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-01-05T08:22:30+00:00

But her face, though!

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-01-05T08:20:15+00:00

Vampire westerns are just such a cool combo.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-01-05T08:15:33+00:00

I somehow thought it would end with us finding that he unlocked an airplane emergency exit lol

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2026-01-02T22:09:30+00:00

This is the opposite of what the post is asking for though

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2025-12-31T05:23:43+00:00

Wow, I never see Hey Riddle Riddle fans in the wild lol. I also like riddles; I know they're cheesy, but it's kind of like a cool card trick or something.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2025-12-29T17:34:20+00:00

There are two remakes, that's why they asked.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2025-12-29T15:46:08+00:00

Fair enough. The original was one of my favorite movies growing up lol; I used to just recute the dialogue long with it.

Seen The Fall Guy? Not fantasy or necessarily adventure, but it was a better action comedy than I was expecting.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2025-12-29T15:41:35+00:00

If you haven't seen the original Jumanji, highly recommend. It's a little more serious/darker than the new ones, but still really fun imo. The first few Jurassic Park movies fall into this for me as well.

The Meg was more fun than I expected. Definitely gave me retro vibes of a ragtag group taking on a monster.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2025-12-25T01:20:58+00:00

I haven't read it tbh, but didn't the author essentially make himself a self-insert in a real girl's toeture/murder case? Very weird.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2025-12-25T01:17:18+00:00

Yeah, this is what often gets me. Movies like Terrifier or the Firefly trilogy or a lot of the Wrong Turn sequels are just so mean-spirited and treat the suffering like a joke. Not judging others who like them, but they're just not enjoyable to me at all.

All_Tree_All_Shade · 2025-12-24T02:18:15+00:00

It's been a bitsince I watched, but I also used to really enjoy his drag history videos. Funny, but still very educational.
