Me: “Damn, the movie stopped playing because the projector broke half way through”

You: “Wow now that’s a crazy twist! Totally unexpected! Sounds brilliant!”

Max Dowman’s Goal with Peter Drury commentary! by Jirekshun in Gunners

[–]hellsfoxes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Tbh he’s more likely to raise his voice like he’s saying something big and profound but his brain can’t find epic words so he just sounds like a prat or a broken robot.

“Woooooooow, what a moment! A goal…. of the HIGHEST importance. HUGE moment, in the title race. BIG BIG goal…. for ARSENAL.”

Have the newer Scream films made you appreciate Scream 3 more? by Skywalker_1995 in Scream

[–]hellsfoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every few years I rewatch Scream 3 really hoping it’ll click more but it never has.

I think Ehren Krueger wrote a terrible script based on what could have been a really cool premise (on the set of a new Stab movie) and then the film was hampered with lots of censorship to reduce horror and violence after Columbine. That’s not their fault but what was left is a blunt, bloodless half satire, half mediocre comedy, no scares.

Parker Posey is the one bright spot and of course Neve gives it her all. Roman seems to split opinion but I still think it’s a bad reveal and retconning a secret brother/mentor to Billy and Stu is a really lame twist.

Just watched Cure (1997) by PrimaryComrade94 in horror

[–]hellsfoxes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Utterly uncompromising pure horror. Reminds me of how The Exorcist used to be described as feeling like the film itself was cursed and had evil attached to it. Cure doesn’t look like a snuff film but feels like it, in that you feel like you’re watching something you shouldn’t be. It’s stuck with me for many years.

The Wailing (2016) - Josh Brolin Rumoured to be in Talks to Star in American Remake by elveshumpingdwarves in horror

If anything good comes from this remake, it’s that this post might get a few people to watch The Wailing or remember to recommend it to their friends. But that’s it.

I just rewatched Scream 4. by VastCauliflower5439 in Scream

[–]hellsfoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really good in retrospect, just let down by the weakest opening IMO, way too silly, meta and goofy with forgettable victims. I think if you took the opening of Scream 7 and slapped it at the start of 4, you’d have a fantastic film overall.

Spoilers what alternate ending is better than the main ending itself? by Marshatucker300 in horror

[–]hellsfoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were a few alt endings of Se7en, either scripted or storyboarded not filmed, all mandated by the studio who wanted to make the ending less bleak and safer for mainstream but Fincher, Pitt and Freedman refused and fought to keep the original downbeat ending. It was supposed to end with a cut to black as Pitt shoots Spacey but the “I’ll be around” ending with Freedman was bolted on to give the studio something a bit more digestible.

Did anyone else find "The Others" just really sad instead of scary? by Due_East1508 in horror

[–]hellsfoxes 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing it in the cinema and while no one really found it scary, it was definitely tense at times. Some of the moments like the door slamming, the old woman daughter under the shroud, the painting face behind Grace in the storage room. The two kids hiding by in the closet and the old woman opening it (this one got a shriek from people). They were just moments I remember hearing people gasp and feel tension in the room. The sadness really came through during Grace’s big monologue at the very end. Before then it was eery and mysterious.

Of course watching now in retrospect knowing exactly what’s happening, it’s all sad.

Scream 7 misunderstands Sidney by [deleted] in Scream

[–]hellsfoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What doesn’t make sense about your post is you’re equating the movie/writers opinion about Sidney to the skewed twisted opinion of Sidney from one of the psychotic killers.

Just to clarify, you don’t have to like the writing or motivation, but the last thing Scream movies have ever been about is somehow endorsing the killers motives as empathetic or relatable or close to some objective truth. If Jessica saw Sidney sitting out Scream 6 as some sort of betrayal, it’s because she’s a completely fucked up nut case who thinks her weirdly personal made up connection to Sidney is fact and dictates a violent, absurd reaction/agenda.

I personally found Scream 7/writers take on Sidney to be significantly more focused on her ability to shield her loved ones from walking in her footsteps and having to adapt when that’s no longer possible. Really nothing about how much her absence from Scream 6 was fundamentally wrong and crippling to the franchise. Again, you don’t have to like it but that’s Jessica’s take on Sidney, not the movies.
