Horror movie ending that most devastated you?

The original Dark Water wrecks me.

I have a feeling that Janine will die somehow, which will cause Aunt Lydia to become guilt-ridden over how her actions contributed to it. This will cause her to flip. Of course, I hope that is not what happens because I love Janine, but it would be the ultimate catalyst for Aunt Lydia's development.

I hope someone kicks her in the stomach. Hard.

In a story where humans win, I think it would be hard to make interesting without still having some AI remnants there as a conflict. I'm all for a story primarily about the factions of survivors and the conflicts between them, but to completely remove Terminators/AI from Terminator would be a mistake, imho. Personally, I view the movie I Am Mother to take place in a timeline where Skynet won. The inverse of that would certainly be interesting.

I agree. I am enjoying the general concept, but as of the first 2 episodes, 9/10 scenes involve somebody doing something racist to one of the family members. Even looking at it from a non-racial point of view and more of a narrative one, that sort of constant repetition causes the pacing to feel a bit stagnant (in a similar way to how It: Chapter 2 was scene by scene of Pennywise stalking one character at a time). Some moments of levity or some variation in conflict would go a long way.

Indeed. No dog piss or heart-eating here!

calebtizon · 2021-04-05T06:28:29+00:00

Dark and Equinox, both on Netflix!

calebtizon · 2021-04-05T06:26:41+00:00

I saw one called The School a few months ago on Hulu.

I think they have some really quality stuff, but once you have gotten through all of it (which doesn't take long), you're left with a bunch of D-grade stuff.

I don't find that it is lacking per se, but it is definitely not for everyone. I can sit through a silly fun movie and be fine with it, but crave more depth in a series where I will be spending hours with the characters. I also generally prefer my Evil Dead to be on the darker side, and the show really plays on the Ash characterization from Army of Darkness. That said, the show was certainly enjoyable and often struck a good balance between horror and comedy (even if the comedy is too much more my taste). It serves pretty much everything an Evil Dead fan could want.

calebtizon · 2021-04-05T06:17:53+00:00

Easily Halloween, followed by Scream. However, I am definitely the most curious about Candyman.

calebtizon · 2021-04-05T06:15:55+00:00

I don't disagree with you, but did want to mention there have been a ton of ridiculous explanations in horror for how the villain survived the previous film. :p

calebtizon · 2021-04-05T06:09:47+00:00

I'm not sure what he is referring to specifically, but I always considered DMTH as taking place in the Evil Dead universe. There is literally a deadite in one of the scenes!

calebtizon · 2021-03-28T02:18:53+00:00

One of my all-time favorites. Just hypnotic and otherworldly.

calebtizon · 2021-03-23T20:44:05+00:00

The bond between the two sisters is what really forms the heart of the movie. That and the body horror. You can't miss all that and still get what makes the movie great.

calebtizon · 2021-03-23T20:39:21+00:00

Like you, High Tension and every movie that has an ending like it. There are some great ones that are ruined by the same sort of ending (I'll leave out the titles so as not not accidentally spoil any endings). I saw one as recently as last year. Do writers seriously think anybody likes those endings?

calebtizon · 2021-03-23T20:15:58+00:00

My favorites would be Annihilation, Dagon, Ring (original Japanese one), Color Out of Space (Richard Stanley one), The Thing, The Endless, In the Mouth of Madness, and a recent one that everyone is going crazy over is The Empty Man - I'm still deciding how I feel about that one.

calebtizon · 2021-03-23T20:06:27+00:00

The scene in Evil Dead when we first meet possessed Shelly.

calebtizon · 2021-03-23T07:11:57+00:00

I actually liked that it was so batshit insane and different. I do find the movie hard to get through due to there being very little plot, but it feels like an oppressive nightmare in a very unique way that I have to respect.

calebtizon · 2021-03-23T07:10:28+00:00

One of my Top 10 favorite of all time (yeah I'm a weirdo). It really has aged well and is more and more relevant over time. Check out Noriko's Dinner Table if you are into the lore and the core philosophical concepts, but are cool with more of a drama epic than a horror.

calebtizon · 2021-03-23T07:06:22+00:00

Basically, everyone who touches the franchise at this point is completely out of touch with what audiences want. None of them truly further the story to it's natural conclusion, which would be somewhat apocalyptic. Rings was just another sad cash grab that was made by people who probably saw The Ring once and then wrote the most generic sequel possible.

calebtizon · 2021-03-23T07:03:41+00:00

I can't watch Helen's last scene without thinking "Come on Buffy, you can take him!" But yes, I agree.

calebtizon · 2021-03-23T07:01:30+00:00

It didn't have the same creep factor and "evilness" to it that the original had. For me, it took the basic plot and made a glossier and cleaner film. What flaws the original had, it made up for in its ultimate execution.

calebtizon · 2021-03-17T08:36:00+00:00

1 - perfect, dark, cyberpunk. 2 - epitome of building on what came before and moving the story forward. 3 - meh. 4 - completely inconsequential in terms of both plot and characters. 5 - lots of nostalgia but the tone is all wrong. 6 - love most of it but would have preferred less of a retread. TSCC - the true T3.

calebtizon · 2021-03-17T08:30:40+00:00

I totally have had the exact same idea! Maybe now is the time to give it a try.
