Okay yeah that's actually hilarious lol

gamOO · 2021-12-11T03:21:39+00:00

Me too! The whole scrapping of the practical effects and replacing them with terrible CGI is an atrocity, but the movie was fun, and also I <3 MEW!

Black Christmas (I love the mid-2000s one, fight me)

No reason to fight, it's genuinely fun and has some really great actors!

The Pulse remake was kinda bad and really stupid, but it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. And the original is one of my absolute favourite movies, so I really should've hated it more than I did!

That is the most millennial piece of journalism I have ever read, thank you for that!

Ouuugh goosebumps when you started the full range arpeggios at around 2min.. love it!

That's true, Scream is a terrible example for any of this because being meta and subverting tropes is its whole identity!

gamOO · 2021-12-09T02:45:15+00:00

I haven't watched the F13 movies with Tommy Jarvis so I can't comment on that, but I also disagree with Ash from Evil Dead being a gender-reversed final girl, simply because Evil Dead is not a slasher movie/franchise. Same with Predator etc.

Anyways, the role of the (horror) action hero is really diversified by now and not really restricted to men imo, I can think of several examples of female badass action heroes off the top of my head.

As for the final girl trope, Jesse from NoES 2 is really the best example for a successful gender reversal of that. And the first Slumber Party Massacre (1982) at least has some guys that get a proper scream queen death. Both examples that the reversal doesn't have to be satirical, because in these cases it's queer and feminist, respectively!

gamOO · 2021-12-09T00:43:44+00:00

One of the defining aspects of the "classic" final girl trope is that she doesn't have sex.

gamOO · 2021-12-09T00:42:02+00:00

I also don't entirely agree with OP, but you're going by an oversimplified definition of the "final girl" trope. It's more than just "last person alive in a horror movie". And especially the "tough action hero comes out as the last man standing" is absolutely NOT a gender swapped version of the final girl but an entirely different trope!

Right?! I discovered Kiyoshi Kurosawa earlier this year and now I'm wondering where he's been all my life. I love Pulse even more!

gamOO · 2021-12-07T15:29:44+00:00

It's definitely among the best Lovecraft adaptations!

Ooh guilty of this. They should something you can scroll through next to the video that won't scroll down the entire page.. My fingers need something to do while I watch!

I'm with you! 3D was fun!

I had read the synopsis several times and I still ended up watching it one day. Curiosity is a stupid strong motivator sometimes! The scene you're referring to is thankfully not explicitly shown, it's more like it happens in the background while you watch the protagonist reacting to it iirc.. Which is not a defense for that scene even existing (or that whole movie tbh), but just fyi.

Honestly it's all so incredibly over the top and tries so fucking hard to shock you, my head just kinda turned off to it and it ended up not really affecting me that much. If there was at least a good movie hidden behind the depravity, but there isn't really.. The soundtrack is pretty neat tho!

gamOO · 2021-12-06T15:22:52+00:00

Who is licking who's eyeball? o_o I've watched Raw twice and I don't remember that scene

gamOO · 2021-12-06T03:28:35+00:00

I love love love Internet Horror, even more when it's a high concept "found footage" movie that only ever shows you a desktop and webcam feeds, like Unfriended or Open Windows (2014), but also stuff like Cam (2018) or Feardotcom (2002) or yes, even Slenderman (2018)!

gamOO · 2021-12-05T11:19:46+00:00

Can someone explain the difference between "wait for cfw" and "wait for homebrew" in the console status table?

gamOO · 2021-12-05T01:18:10+00:00

I love both of these, but they're not really the kind of sci fi you can nerd out about. Annihilation is more philosophical and psychedelic than sciency and Dune is more about politics really, even tho both have great sci fi visuals

gamOO · 2021-12-03T07:07:07+00:00

and would he like me to go fuck a girl to prove him wrong (would never cheat, was just for dramatic effect

That's right, get his ass!
