DieselDaisy Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Terrifier 2 (2022) It departs in a bizarre manner from more streamlined original, heading into a sort of Nightmare on Elm St 3 direction. Quote

Most killers will get caught before they rack up enough kills to achieve serial killer status. Maybe pharmaceuticals have turned lots of what would have been promising serial killers of the past into distinguished gentleman of the present. The Idaho Massacre is the most compelling murder story right now that I know of. The guy was a criminology student and he still brings his phone with him on the night of the crime! Quote

There won’t be closure until we get a DNA match. The circumstantial evidence against Arthur Leigh Allen is so strong though. He is either the Zodiac killer or he’s some other guy who got off on pretending to be the Zodiac. 2 Quote

DieselDaisy Posted November 12 Posted November 12 Abigail Terrifier 3 Smile 2 All decent horrors released 2024 - Smile 2 may even be better than original. Abigail sort of reminds me of From Dusk till Dawn in its subversion of the vampire genre: From Dusk till Dawn transplanted into an old house with a little girl. The current horror scene has an obsession with creepy horror girls, e.g., M3GAN. The whole Terrifier thing descends too much into torture porn for me, but the gore is 'just' on the right side of comic book - not quite Peter Jackson's Braindead but getting there. If it was one thread towards the realistic spectrum these films would have been unbearable. I like them but there is something amiss. They really just revolve around the staggeringly unsettling Art the Clown. Evil Dead (2013 remake) About as good a ''pointless remake'' as can be imagined. Give me the original however anyday. Re-watch of Tremors and one or two other things. Quote

Jacksons first movie in New Zealand, then he made LOTRs? Bad Taste is another I remember. Quote
DieselDaisy Posted November 13 Posted November 13 A rewatch of Fatal Attraction, the 'bunny-boiler' film. Decent 80s sex thriller however I found it a bit ploddy. Directing lacked a certain something. Quote
wasted Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Disclosure is another Michael Douglas movie that seems relevant these days. Quote
DieselDaisy Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Longlegs (2024) Psychological serial killer thing like Silence of the Lambs/Seven only with supernatural elements. It is alright Quote

DieselDaisy Posted November 14 Posted November 14 On the subject of Fatal Attraction, the original ending in which Douglas is arrested for her death, she having slit her throat to Madam Butterfly is vastly superior to the action ending; in this ending his wife finds the cassette, with her confession she was going to frame him, and goes to rescue him from the cop shop. All the cast were appalled at filming the theatrical ending. Original is on youtube. What would have been better again - but much darker - is the same but without the cassette-wife sequence! Glenn Close wins. 3 hours ago, AxlisOld said: Great movie. Real ethical conundrum. John Goodman is amazing. The opening scene was like a Hunter Biden video. Quote
DieselDaisy Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Michael Douglas basically made his name playing suited 1980s sleazeballs in sex thrillers, stock brokers, attorneys, etc. Quote

Around the same time Gosling was in The Place Beyond the Pines which less stylized, but it's a motorbike/crime movie. Has more of a epic plot. Flying planes upside down drunk in GTA was one of my hobbies. Crash landing nowhere near the drop zone and getting wasted by some kid with a jetpack and rocket launcher was normally how it went down. 2 Quote
