I get that but the anthology direction is what they were going for and blah blah blah. I still love the film and it amuses me how Joe Bob Briggs' comments over it continues to haunt him.

May I make some recommendations, sir? Try The Cursed AKA Eight for Silver (very good recent werewolf film), Mandy (amazing acid horror film), Brandon Cronenberg's Possessor, David Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future, The Sadness (Taiwanese zombie flick), Haunt (2019 slasher), The Last Matinee (2020 or 2021 Uruguay slasher set in a movie theater), The Black Forest (2018 Brazil horror comedy: https://tubitv.com/movies/555034/the-black-forest ).

There have been quite a few very good recent horror films. Perhaps you're not looking in the right places? Just a suggestion.

There's another I forgot to mention called The Last Shift, and some Norse mythology one that came out recently that I cannot remember the name of. A big part of it is I also just don't have the time to sit down and be a movie junkie anymore.

Last Shift was good. Was the Norse movie you're thinking of The Northman? I wouldn't call The Northman horror but it certainly has horror elements.

Here I thought I was one of the few people who actually liked Last Shift, and for the life of me I can't get anyone else to watch it. Seems people have some natural aversion to that movie. I often wonder if it's the poster that puts people off, that it looks extremely cheap. Anyhow, I salute you.

Does Hobo with a Shotgun count? Its a gorefest but its horrifying because of the fact it hits too close to home with Clown World.

"WE'RE ALL DIRTY COPS!"

I have to admit, everything in this movie is deliberate. The sombre opening, the horrible city life, the wretched people and of course the villainous elite who is responsible for the horrible state of the city because suffering gets them off.

And what pisses them off the most is when a nobody just starts cleaning up the city and getting people back together. I legitimately enjoyed the acting and the playout. Though there are times it comes off as a torture-fest (which is intentional).

All the characters are clearly defined, they stand out and have their defining moments.

I can see why people love this movie.

I unironically got into it because of a clip involving the Plague.View attachment 3524256
Watching this really got me thinking of what to do when clownworld gets to that level.

Hobo with a Shotgun while not explicitly being a Horror movie is an amazing piece of media, "The Plague" are also the shit

True, its more like dystopian fiction. The part that horrified me was how it only takes a few things to happen for that to become reality.

-Moral decay encouraged by the rulers of Hope City.
-Bloodlust and immorality rewarded by said rulers.
-Everyone on top being in on it because said rulers are paying them as well as taking part of such vices.

Also, it never stops hurting on how these two suave killers never got their own movie. An entire movie where these two are just executing everyone in their path would be fun to watch.

The directors were right. They are cool.

I'm certain its a combination of presentation and overall design.


Also it helps that their slaughter scene is backed up by good music.
 
Not surprised. Jordan Peele still proves he's a shitty filmmaker. I'd honestly rather wait til Friedberg and Seltzer cook up a grand magnum opus than to see anything from Peele.

I'm not going to bother with Halloween Ends since the last one left a sour taste in my mouth. I'll just read the spoilers on here and elsewhere.

There's already a fuck ton of leaked spoilers from test screenings and the trailer and synopsis line up with them. They also just finished some reshoots probably based on feedback from the test screenings.
Laurie is living with her granddaughter and working on her memoir. Her granddaughter is dating a guy with a fucked up history that is kind of an outcast. The big twist is that the boyfriend is a legit fucking psycho that becomes a Michael Myers copycat killer. A majority of the kills in the movie are done by the imposter Myers. The real Michael Myers is being held in the sewers by a crazy homeless guy and finally emerges towards the end of the film for the big confrontation. The imposter Michael is in the trailer (he's not missing fingers like the real one) as well as a scene where the boyfriend/imposter is accosted in the sewers. Jamie Lee Curtis's comments that the film will probably piss a lot of fans off seems like an understatement. If any of this sounds too outlandish to be real, let me remind you that in the 2018 reboot the bus accident that freed Michael was originally going to be caused by Laurie until John Carpenter talked some sense into the filmmakers. Of all of the plot elements these people could choose to borrow, they go straight for the polarizing imposter angle from F13 part V and the crazy hobo caretaker from Halloween 5. I don't see how any amount of reshoots could fix this clusterfuck.

So for once it wasn't actually white people being the villains in a Jordan Peele story that actually surprises me to be honest.

I mean in terms of his movies, white people were only the villains in get out, and even then they were more of rich white librals.

US was some weird government experiment that made zero sense
 
Has anyone dared to see Nope?

The only thing positive I can say, the silver lining, is that it amuses me that it dethroned the new Thor from #1 at the box office. That's about it. Same thing happened with Texas Chainsaw 3D knocking The Hobbit out of the top spot.

Even though it made 44 million so far it somehow cost 68 million to make. I think a lot of that went into marketing because I remember seeing the fucking trailer in front of every single fucking movie when I went to the theater this year.

True. But his produced series like his shitty twilight zone remake and Lovecraft country were basically mostly white people evil. Lovecraft country was just fucking offensive and would be considered incredibly racist if other way around.

Is his shitty Twilight Zone better or worse than the shitty 2000's reboot of the show?
