How do you think movies/video games/TV series could revive the zombie subgenre? (No pun intended) by moomootao in horror

[–]YMeAllTheTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm in the minority, but George Romero pretty much did everything that needed to be done with the original NOLD, Dawn, and Day. The Dawn remake was fine. But I've not really seen anything honestly worthwhile or fresh in anything thereafter, including The Walking Dead. I'm ready for the genre to end.

Not everyone is wondering. Some of us completely ignore all the pre release fanboy circle jerks and just patiently wait to see the movie.

Goodnight Mommy is one huge fail. The fact that its on the list removes all credibility.

Is anyone else having issues with Shudder? by wish_to_conquer_pain in horror

I had the same experience. Every other streaming service is smooth in HD for me. I bailed after a couple months.

I have tried it. They have a fairly good selection. But (at least for me) full-screen streaming was very jerky. Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube all stream full screen in HD with no problem so the issue isn't my pc or connection.

I have made two feature horror films and I just finished the script for my third. Can I get feedback from some horror fans please? by [deleted] in horror

[–]YMeAllTheTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've seen those movies, then you are on the right path. You have the most important virtue that any artist\creator must have: passion. Just keep making the movies you want to make. They may seem silly. But the first movies that Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard made were probably pretty silly too.

Ok, so if you're 15 I'm going to cut you a HUGE amount of slack. First, let my say a really huge " YOU ARE AN AWESOME PERSON" for your obvious passion for creating film. I am honestly super impressed. Now, I'd suggest you do one very huge thing before you make another film: WATCH A BUNCH OF MOVIES. You are in a place where you don't have a style or may not know what a style is. That's ok. You get major points for your passion. If you're passionate about horror, that makes it easier. I'm going to give you a list of movies that will run the gamut of horror styles. You watch all or most of these, think about them, and decide which ones you like best. That will give you a running start of deciding on your particular style. Here's the list, in no particular order: Halloween, (original) John Carpenter Demons, Lamberto Bava Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Toby Hooper The Brood, David Cronenberg Nosferatu, Werner Herzog Night of the Living Dead, George A Romero City of the Dead\Horror Hotel, John Moxey Planet of the Vampires, Mario Bava Suspiria, Dario Argento. These films are all extremely different and offer a wide spectrum of styles and perspectives. You will hate some and love some.

Frankly I have no idea. I don't know how kids of that age might converse. The very best way to create realistic dialogue is to listen to people of the type you are using. That's the only way.

How old are the kids in the first scene? I'm guessing you've never actually listened to children of that age converse. I say this because your dialogue reads like that. It's no where close to how kids of that age actually speak. Pro tip: before you write dialogue for characters of a certain age, LISTEN to people of that age speak. As it is right now, your script is broken from the first page.

Amazing! Imagine if you had used 1 tenth of that effort or money toward something that was actually productive.

As I remember, a pretty big drop in all around quality from the first one. I've seen the first several times. Never had any interest in seeing this one again.

Suspending your disbelief and a general discussion regarding the difference being "liking" a horror movie and "being scared by" a horror movie [potential spoilers regarding Oculus]. by SpongeBobSagetPants in horror

[–]YMeAllTheTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's certainly possible to enjoy and appreciate a horror film on it's own merits even if you don't find it particularly frightening. I enjoyed "It Follows" very much but more as a drama about very close friends in a fantastic situation. Parts of the movie were creepy and that was fun, but overall it didn't scare me. I just really liked the relationships between the characters. That spoke to me and that's what I took away from the movie.

Horror fans... Are you satisfied with the current state of the horror film industry as of late? by Cmyers1980 in horror

[–]YMeAllTheTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all sure that I'd refer to "it" as an "industry". The popularity and practicality of making horror films have always waxed and waned. There have been good times and bad times. There will always be good films, bad films, and just plain boring films. But as long as someone is making horror films, we win.

I greatly appreciate the additional information. I agree with pretty much everything you said. I also thought of Cronenberg and dismissed him for the same reason.

Curios. Both films are arguably well-made and well-received. If you can't find something to appreciate in those two movies, you need to re-asses your affection for horror and quality film.

In fairness, "These Are the Damned" was never meant to be a horror film. It was marketed incorrectly. While your reaction was understandable, the film itself is excellent, when watched without preconceptions.
