There is no third one!
Only 1, 2 and 4.

Re: Horror Movie Month (The Evil Dead)
 

This is a semi-horror spoof, but seems to be self mockery when Bruce Campbell is thought to be the character he plays in the movies... hijacks ensues.

Re: Horror Movie Month (The Evil Dead)
 

You mean hijinx right?

Re: Horror Movie Month (The Evil Dead)
 

There is no 4 either. Only 1 and 2.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

Nah I liked the fourth one, but it was more so action than horror.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

4 was a blasphemy, worse than 3. It was close to a parody on the Alien series, with people re-using quotes and making silly jokes.
Also, it ended like a sequel was only months away, but it never came. We want to see Earth. :mad:

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

Alien 3 is not a horrible. It just falls incredibly short compared to 1 and 2.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

Did you see the special edition of Alien³? It's much longer. I think it might be better.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

Just got back from Paranormal Activity.

I've never been so anxious while watching a movie. Good scares, good suspense, good film.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

Spoiler question (for Dylflon):

When do you think she was first possessed? When she first got out of bed and stood there for several hours before going downstairs?

The movie really foreshadowed a lot of events, reflecting on certain things that happened.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

Spoiler answer:

I figure she was possessed at that point. God damn that was creepy. I think the last scene is going to give me trouble sleeping.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

Yeah it did that to me, haha. The movie apparently changed the ending a little....apparently the other cut goes like this:

So she still gets out of bed and stands there for a few hours...then goes downstairs. And she screams. And Mica goes down. So then we hear some noises, and then silence....and then she comes up the stairs covered in blood holding a knife. She stands there in the room and the camera shows several days lapse. During this time worried phone messages can be heard in the background. So finally one of her friend's rings the doorbell or something, and I guess she goes down and kills the friend? So we get her back on camera covered in blood in her trance in the bedroom, and I guess the cops finally show up. The cops find her in her trance upstairs, and she freaks out and they shoot her. And I guess the screen fades to black and we can hear the demon and the cops.

That's what I heard anyway. Both endings are pretty awesome IMO. I remember when my dad showed me Poltergeist in like 2nd grade I had trouble sleeping for a week or two. And the first time I saw A Nightmare On Elm Street back in like 3rd or 4th grade...that disrupted my sleep too.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

Seriously, I slept so poorly last night. This is the only movie I've ever seen that makes sleeping scary.

The screaming was so fucked because when the girl is down there and starts screaming, you can hear two voices screaming. It's blood curdling screaming too. And then it stops so abruptly because I guess it was a trap. Oh man. Great movie.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

I can't believe you guys liked that film. I just watched Paranormal Activity, and what a piece of shit. If that was a well edited 6 minute youtube clip, I would have respected it, but for pretty much nothing to happen for all that time, it's a waste. That's not a film. Certainly would've worked better as pornography.

Paramount Pictures scammed everyone. The filmmakers made it for $15,000. Paramount buys it for $1 million. Box office gross is over $100 million. Sure, they spent a dickload on marketing, but still, what a scam.

Re: Horror Movie Month (My Name is Bruce)
 

I had a coworker come in the other day with the exact same reaction. He said it was terrible. What causes such polarity on a movie like this? The same thing happened with Blair Witch.

I think the polarity is caused by expectations. Sometimes you go into a movie expecting something, usually seeded into your brain by the trailer. But when you actually see the movie, not only does it not give you what you expected, you get the exact opposite and so your reaction is that the movie is terrible because it didn't give you what you were wanting. This phenomenon coincides with the fact that you often choose the movie you're watching based on what you want to watch. If you choose an action movie, but then to your total surprise, you get a love drama, you're likely to hate the movie even if it's the best love drama ever. It's just expectations. This has happened to me before.

In this case, I guess you expected a more typical horror movie, and when you didn't get that it polarized you to the I hate this movie side. Despite the general consensus that this is one of the creepiest films ever, and at the very least if not a great film then certainly not a total "piece of shit".

Or you just didn't like it :D

I completely disagree. I judge a horror movie based on how creepy, frightening, disturbing it is -- the best of which leave me mentally disturbed for days after watching -- not on how much "happened". And, on that criteria, this is the best horror movie I have seen in a long time. To me, the most frightening moments on film are what they don't show you and what they don't explain. Your own imagination creates the most frightening images to fill in the blanks. This movie knows that.

It still creeps me out sometimes when I'm walking around my house at night in the dark.

That isn't to say I don't like some other movies that follow the more typical formula of story arc and spooky/gory things popping out or happening. But the good ones like that are like 1 in a 100, for me.
