Nicolas Cage has been officially added to Dead by Daylight and this is not a god damn joke.

I watched 2 clips of the film online and lost all interest with the first clip I watched.

The tranny and other sister are already wastes of cinema, the aunt is obnoxious and she and the mother are already rubbing me the wrong way because of how generic they're written. I know its unfair to judge a whole film on a 2 minute clip, so I watched 2 other clips to get a better idea and am kind of surprised that this is doing as well as it is cause it just doesn't feel...like Evil dead much less a film with the score it has.

Its not awful per se, even though the characters feel putrid already from the few scenes I've watched and as I said before, when you don't have Ash as your protagonist you gotta make every character in the script special and unique as much as possible. These aint them. . Its nice to see the films pushing 100 million and all, but damn the writing just felt generic and obnoxious.

Hope the next evil dead film has better writing. I'm laughing at how the family is destroyed because the daughter is a tranny though, its unintentional but hilarious.

Agreed. No Bruce, No Use
 
If I were left in charge of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies then I'd have Freddy kill a guy through sissy hypno.
 


Argento has sold the remake rights of the Animal Trilogy (Bird with Crystal Plumage, Cat O'Nine Tails, and Four Flies on Grey Velvet) and Bird is the first one that might get remade first. Of course, there's a chance that none of them get made or get turned into a TV show on a streaming service but the gears are in motion.

Maybe a hot take but I never cared for the Animal Trilogy. For me, and some of you saw this coming, I thought Fulci's Giallo's at that time (especially Don't Torture a Duckling and Lizard in a Woman's Skin) are better and that includes some of the Sergio Martino ones like Torso. But the trilogy is an interesting stepping stone for Argento's career and you see the ideas he had in the trilogy be fully realized by the time he made Deep Red and all the way up until Opera the man was on fire.
 
If they improve on those as much as the improvement on Suspiria was, then fucking A I'm looking forward to them. I had a couple problems with Suspiria (mainly Tilda Swinton in the old man role was distracting and pointless) but I remember enjoying it a ton, especially having a payoff at the end that was actually satisfying (a fucking rarity).

I mean I get it, I understand why people think Italian horror is good, and I've forced myself to watch all the main ones. It's just the dubbing, editing, action and effects just kill them for me. It's so irritating that I can't get past it at all. Same with pre-60s American movies; that Mid-Atlantic accent and speech cadence just prevents me from paying attention to anything else going on. A good movie from either of those genres is like eating a really good sandwich with a few grains of sand in every bite.

Although hopefully they keep Gaudagnino far the fuck away from the Animal Trilogy, since he seems to have converted to only making nigger movies since Suspiria. I know it's not unusual for Italians to get chronic Jungle Fever, but Jesus Christ, take a break, man.

I'll say this, the musical scores for each Italian horror movie from the 50s-80s are really mesmerizing as with other Italian movies around that period.

that was funny the time they almost made this but the rights fell through and they grafted The Banana Splits license onto it because it was what they had laying around

And funny considering Chris Columbus was originally set to direct shortly before Pixels came out. I've always wondered what his vision would've been like.
 
It's been confirmed that Adrienne King will come back in some capacity for the Friday the 13th show that's coming out next year.

NB4 they announce a Kane Hodder cameo.

Actually

NB4 They reveal Jason's father and he's played by Kane Hodder which would actually be pretty clever. Either Kane Hodder or Tom Savini since he has acted even though Tom is 75 or 76 now.

There was a rumored Friday the 13th reboot with (of all people) LeBron James to produce, even before Halloween 2018 came out to theatres, but that was cancelled.

There were a lot of scrapped projects that were at various stages of development. I read a script for one of these, I think this is the one that Paramount was going to produce when they owned the franchise again for 15 minutes but scrapped it for retarded reasons and said that the RingS sequel bombed and ergo horror is just not in demand. The script I read was a prequel to the original but focused on Jason's father going on a mass killing spree.

Investigating the father is an unturned stone in the franchise and has a lot of possibilities.

There was also some legal issues, Paramount's new management and blah blah blah. Which was why they removed that from the theatrical release schedule of October 13, 2017, with Universal and Blumhouse's Happy Death Day to takeover the spot as one of the four major Halloween horror releases alongside The Snowman (also from Universal) and both Lionsgate's Jigsaw (the eighth Saw movie in a very long time) and a second Boo! Madea Halloween movie.
