/horror/ general megathread - Let's talk about movies and shit.


Frankie Freako (2024): I hated this one. It's one of those movies deliberately made to be bad and every single joke fails, no one is likeable and it's just a waste of time. Even if you liked Psycho Goreman (made by the same director) I'm going to make a bet that you will be disappointed. I would only recommend this for the depraved stalker fans of Rich Evans.

The Substance was good. Derivative, without a single original idea or visual and the last ten minutes were just a bad joke taken too far, but I enjoyed it. Demi Moore was great.

Why use the Vertigo soundtrack? There's no worse sin for a film to make than it referencing a better film.

I'm in a Stu Pickles making chocolate pudding at 4AM state of mind and decided to finally watch John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars:


(If I had to suffer so do you)

It's reputation is 100% deserved. The plot is retarded, the acting is bad, the effects mediocre, the sets are shockingly cheap, and the number of flashbacks and dissolves and other things going on in the editing just absolutely scream that (A) this movie was severely fucked with by the studio or (B) this movie was straight up unfinished and stitched together in editing.

You could have a legit drinking game with the number of flashbacks. Wikipedia say's this:

Which might explain why it feels stitched together. Or -quite simply- John Carpenter did not give a fuck and he'd be the first one to admit to it.

1/10

Filming began on August 8, 2000, and ended on October 31, 2000. Production had to be shut down for a week when Henstridge fell ill due to extreme exhaustion, as she had just done two other films back-to-back before joining production at the last moment.

On the other hand, I've watched Ghosts of Mars maybe 6 times, and while it's trash, it's entertaining trash. 7/10. If you think Ghosts of Mars is bad, give Carpenter's The Ward a watch. It's an utterly boring piece of shit. It doesn't feel like a John Carpenter movie at all, and I can't stand Amber Heard's face.

That's a shame to hear, I was one of those people who liked Psycho Goreman.

I think you mean fucking accurate.

• Slashers
• Both started as low-budget shlock who got surprisingly popular and got much bigger budget for the second one who was kind of just a retread of the first but edgier
• Targets the same fans
• Barebone plots, might as well be vignettes showcasing gore for most of the movie
• Same edgy humor that often falls flat and revels in sadistic shit
• Main attraction are the special effects; if you made the same movies with pg-13 violence they would be absolute shit.
• Very few sets
• Very little backstory
• Art and Victor are supernatural killers who can’t be killed.
• Over-the-top gore for the sake of being edgy/shocking
• Always ends on the same note. The final girl doesn’t win and the killer doesn’t lose, it’s a stalemate til next time.

That doesn’t mean that either series are bad (though I kind of prefer Hatchet if only because they are more rewatchable imo) but for the same part it feels like they follow the same exact recipe…

I could easily see Hatchet being Terrifier if they had been switched in time and Hatchet had been a tiny bit more edgy/gorier

Art was never supernatural in terrifier until the end of 1. Victor Crowley was always.

Hatchet is a love letter to classic slashers as a way of protest the nu wave of scream smart slashers, it's intentionally schlocky and campy, also, in hatchet 2 and 3, there's a very definitive winner.
Also, fuck you for double posting, you're officially twice the bigger you were before, you're now a double nigger.

Crowley was human at first as well, and became something else after death.

Are you gonna say that Terrifier is not schlocky or campy? For real?

And there’s no winner in 2 or 3 because victor always comes back. Same with Jason, etc.
