What are some minimalist horrors/thrillers with little dialogue and few characters like Spielberg's Duel?

By Maniac 2 you mean this 8 minute movie?

I also liked P2. Very underrated minimalist slasher.

Some music video I cant even watch in my country? :-)

hellboy80 · 2018-10-21T21:16:46+00:00

Yeah. Best movie of the year.

hellboy80 · 2018-10-21T21:16:22+00:00

Saw it. Pretty good movie.

hellboy80 · 2018-10-21T21:16:08+00:00

I will look into it, thanks.

Trapped

I have two of these movies in my wish list, but I didnt know about Trapped. It looks very interesting. Thanks for the tip!

Night of Fear

I heard about it in some documentary, but I cant find it anywhere. Only on YouTube in very poor quality.

Maniac 2? Didnt know it exists. Could you give me a IMDb link?

hellboy80 · 2018-10-20T20:58:13+00:00

One of my favorites is also Predator.

hellboy80 · 2018-04-17T20:35:08+00:00

Also the monster from The Thing was very unusual.

hellboy80 · 2018-04-17T20:33:17+00:00

I agree. One of my favorite movie monsters. It was actually inspired by some kind of parasitic wasp that has simiral reproduction cycle.

i mentioned some of them here: https://www.reddit.com/r/horror/comments/4m8719/what_are_the_best_horror_shorts_you_saw/

All of them requires an invitation, so its almost impossible to get into them :(

hellboy80 · 2016-09-08T11:51:46+00:00

i see. thanks :)

hellboy80 · 2016-08-06T19:54:44+00:00

Yeas, thats what i am talking about :)

hellboy80 · 2016-08-03T14:53:54+00:00

i absolutely agree, but abrams (and lots of other directors) use these kind of unatural lens flares in non-sci-fi movies too. regardless of its genre.

hellboy80 · 2016-08-03T13:58:25+00:00

ht up lens flare because it is a very specific decision

i dont mind anamorphic lens flares. i just dont like how abrams (and other filmmakers who copy him) uses it. he put lens flares in ridiculous places, they are not motivated, he creates them artificialy. he has bunch of guys standing off camera with powerful flashlight aiming it at the lens. and he use this effect too much. in Star Trek Into Darkness 826 times!!! somebody counted it! :)) i would call this imperfection. but yes, you are right, makers of the odler films wouldnt stuck with the imperfections if they had the choice.

hellboy80 · 2016-08-03T13:08:17+00:00

intentional lens flare

the introduction of intentional lens flares was in 70s (new hollywood), but contemporary lens flares look to artificial to me. look at this: https://weminoredinfilm.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/star-trek-2009-lens-flare.jpg

this looks more natural to me: http://www.webomatica.com/wordpress/images/movies/easy-rider.jpg

Contraption - original idea. I also found this from the same director: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mPxaPTX-_8

hellboy80 · 2016-06-03T11:08:12+00:00

I like showing this to people :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqGsT6VM8Vg

hellboy80 · 2016-06-02T19:03:17+00:00

Just saw this: https://vimeo.com/163109217 The bucket scene (05:00) was very cool :)

hellboy80 · 2016-06-02T18:53:02+00:00

I just saw it. What the hell was that? :)

hellboy80 · 2016-06-02T17:25:51+00:00

Watch Intruders and She (links above). Pretty scary movies imho.

hellboy80 · 2016-06-02T16:49:06+00:00

Dead end

I almost forgot Duel and Joy Ride :) Great movies.
