my problem with army of the dead wasnt the run time but that it barely had zombies.... its called " army of the dead" but only had a couple dozen. plus people died in dumb ways

I hate to crap on him...but you're not wrong. His last few have not been great.

His last actually good movie was his first movie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i know everybody is liking new saw but i really hated it. new villain is not interesting and their motivation was meh. they really needed a strong new villain, this wasnt it. way too underwhelming.
really ruined the whole thing

Compared to the last 5 Saw Movies it was GOD tier, lol

Can the next one be better? ohhh 100% but Chris Rock HANDS down is the best Protagonist in the entire Saw series

Ok. This absolutely jumped directly to the top of my anticipation list.

Halloween Kills, new Candyman? Yah...cool. But time travel Giallo inspired ghost story? That's what I'm here for.

Looks so, so good! I seriously cannot wait for this one.

Not horror, but I maintain that he hasn't made a good movie since Watchmen, and the only thing that made it good was that his Kubrick-level lack of humanity in his work is matched by Moore's.

If you put a DR. TERROR’S HOUSE OF HORRORS poster in your trailer, I will see your movie.

Looks great.

Never seen it, but it is free on Tubi, so I will check it out!

Fun British horror anthology from a studio called Amicus, who made several very good anthologies from the mid-'60s to the early '70s.

If you enjoy it, I'd also recommend THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD (1971), TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972), and ASYLUM (1972), which also appear to be on Tubi and are anthologies from Amicus. TALES FROM THE CRYPT is probably my favorite of the bunch.

Did you like the second one? Vault of Fear or something?

VAULT OF HORROR. It's solid, but I'd rank it near the bottom.

Any of the Amicus movies are worth seeing if you're a fan of that specific style of anthology.

Finally watched "Crawl" last night, wow, who'd ever imagine a movie with such a concept could be that great. Helps it was directed by Aja!

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Anyone see A Quiet Place 2 yet? I saw it last night and enjoyed it, but the first is a bit better. There's a lot of dead space in the middle of the film. The last 30 minutes culminate well.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw gets a 3/5 from me. While it is extremely predictable, it does profit very well from not having to lump in 5+ films of history and characters to involve. I still don't know if I like Rock's acting style but his character was one of the more memorable in the series (though I did legitimately laugh when they put him in a backwards baseball cap to simulate him being 'younger'). The traps were more simplified yet maintained both the gruesome over the topness of the series' most infamous set pieces, not to mention their ridiculous absurdity. The film won me over with its banger of an ending, while it was luke warm up to that moment, it doesn't pull any punches in its final shocker and I'm down for a continuation of this story.

Army of the Dead gets a 1/5 from me. There's some nice pieces here and there (the 'use a zombie to activate the traps' was the best use of the heist in a zombie gimmick) but what an overly bloated, poorly thought out unstoppable train of Zack Snyder-isms. I have no problem with the man and he's a competent film maker but the man seriously needs his own army of consultants to tell him when his ideas are poor and seeing as how he wrote, directed and was the DP here, it clearly shows how little restraint and clarity he can focus on when making a film. His horror 'homages' are so on the nose here that it's basically straight cut and paste. This film could have been so much more in the hands of a more capable leader.

Last Night in Soho looks awe inspiring and I absolutely love Edgar Wright's work so that has sky rocketed to my most anticipated film next to Candyman. I am so stoked he's staying in the genre realm, even if this seems more dramatic and thriller-ish. I'll take what I can get from a director as tremendous as Wright.

This unearthed Romero movie looks pretty wild:

Kinda gives off a Martin or Knightriders vibe. :grin:

If you have Shudder, it'll be on Tuesday night with a pretty impressive panel discussion after

THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT is okay, but not much more than that. I'd put it in the bottom half of the full CONJURING filmography at this point.
