re: Official SPOOKY SEASON Horror Movie Discussion/Recs Thread

It was a made for TV movie. Standards were much lower for those. I think it originally ran on ABC

I really like It, both the original mini-series, and the remakes, but I’ve always hated this about the Stephen King universe. I like so many of his creature creations as stand-alone concepts, but it all falls apart for me when we’re supposed to think of them as alien/other dimension entities. Just my personal opinion.

I don’t even want to watch the remake if the premise is the same. The clown doesn’t exist? It’s just a common fear kids have? The real villain is a giant alien spider? I don’t buy it because my childhood experience was that clowns were just hobos that couldn’t get real jobs so they found they could earn money at circuses behaving like silly retards, and that giant spiders cannot control our thoughts regardless of where they come from.
So you only like movies if they are grounded in reality? Did you not like Star Wars because there aren’t spaceships that travel at light speed to different galaxies? Does Independence Day suck because there’s no such things as aliens in huge ships that attack the world? What an odd stance.
And the original IT was a made for TV movie/miniseries, which explains the low quality. And I haven’t read the book either but IT is basically an evil entity from somewhere else, and he takes the form of things (clown, spider, etc) and terrorizes children (and later adults too). The OG movie isn’t great, but Tim Curry was pretty creepy as IT though.
And I find clowns creepy to a certain degree. And I’m sure this movie, and also John Wayne Gacy, have something to do with that.
I will say though: watch the reboot from 2019 (or whenever that was). It is really well done and pretty legit as an outright horror movie. The second one falls flat a good but for me, but is still watchable. But the first one is legit good IMO. If you like horror I’d give it a shot.
The IT: Welcome to Derry show on HBO from last year is also pretty good.

I think the twist was that a dead body can become a living werewolf.

Spoilers.
Sure. But they made that fairly clear very early on when she was doing the initial autopsy and commented that his rib cage looked like it had been opened and healed like 10-15 times.
And to be clear, I am glad there wasn’t really a twist, per se. That made the trailer not really spoil much of anything.

Stop. Star Wars was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away bro. That gives the creation team extensive creative license to help us buy into the premise.

We have had alien “sightings” on Earth, and the concept is plausible because we humans are slowly understanding the science of traveling beyond Earth. Rational minds not limiting themselves to the primitive rules of the universe suggested in the Bible can find alien visitation plausible. It’s also a fun concept.
Star Trek and Alien also did a great job of making science fiction and alien contact plausible.
But an alien that travels here with nothing better to do than haunt the minds of a small group of children at one point in time and then the same ones 20-30 years later?

I didn’t have that viewing experience. He was more funny than creepy.

I’ll give it a shot. It can’t be any worse than the OG. There is no shortage of remakes that are better.

You would have really lost it if they included the space turtle and the kids sewer gang bang

I guess what I mean is it was pretty creepy for a kid almost 40 years ago. You are comparing something from 1990 to how you are today. That’s why I was saying that the remake is much creepier and better than the original one, which again was a made for TV movie/miniseries. It wasn’t some huge movie release, which is one reason the quality is low.

So you just don’t like the subject matter. That’s fine. But arguing that it is unrealistic while also liking stuff like SW and ST and Alien is pretty silly IMO.
But as always, different strokes and all. But if you do like horror, try the remake of IT. It is far superior to the 1990 version.

I watched Friday the 13th part 4: The Final Chapter. I had actually never seen this movie because I had seen 5 (my favorite of the franchise) a good number of times and read books about 1-4 so I didn't really need to.
Man, that movie was BONKERS. There is no real plot and random stuff just happens, a lot of it doesn't make sense. The girl who leaves the teen house tells her friend they need to go...where? They all drove there from a long distance. Where is she going, and especially how will she get there on foot (in the middle of the night, in the rain, in the forest).? Tommy and his sister for no real reason are gone and their mom shows up to a house without power for...reasons. The guy who wants to kill Jason has the perfect opportunity to stalk him, and doesn't?
4 to 5 was building on the whole Tommy turning into Jason narrative. It sucks that in 6 they abandoned all of that to just do horrible zombie Jason thereafter.
I have no idea how so many people rank 4 as the best with 5, 1, and 2 out there.

4 is ranked as the best because it has the best kills and makeup effects.

Watched Milk and Serial (2024) last night.
It's a YouTube movie, and it about a duo of pranksters who keep trying to outdo each other, and one of them pushes it too far based on his own frick-upedness. That's about all I want to say without spoiling anything.
It isn't "found footage" per se, but it is all done with handheld cameras (which fits well within the story since they are a prank channel who films everything for content). But it's fairly well done considering these two dudes made the whole thing on their own for like $800. The story does jump back and forth time-wise, so you'll need to keep up with that (although it isn't difficult to do).
It's also a very easy watch since it clocks in at just one hour and two minutes.
Here is the whole movie:

Watched Black Box (2026) last night. About passengers aboard a flight that where weird shite starts happening and they are attacked by an alien type entity.
All in all it's not too bad, although it certainly could've been better. It also clocks in at like an hour and 25 minutes, so it's a fairly quick watch. I'm not as much in the spooky mood anymore, but am still trying to knock out a few more if I feel up to it.
Here is the trailer:
