31 Days Of Halloween: The Official Film Room Horror Movie Watch Thread

[cac poster]

Haute Tension was a whole lot of gore with a pretty hamfisted execution to me. Clever idea that was not cleverly handled. At least that’s how I felt when I first watched it a year or so ago.

All the later era French horrors that I’ve seen never landed for me as effectively “scary”. Might just be a preference

Well like I was saying it was a clever idea to make you have to re-evaluate all the scenes you saw before once you learned what was really going on, but still idk. Honestly, as far as I remember, it was the intensity of the gore that turned me off... some horror fan I am, right

Feel like the more realistic it gets (the closer to modern day, essentially) the more the gore will hinder a movie for me. I guess I probably would have missed out on a lot of greats if I had this same mindset and had grown up during the heyday, so I can keep that in mind I guess.

Like Hostel, for example. I love the ending and how Roth deals with his characters but I could never watch it again

I tried getting through 3 from Hell but it was to me but it did make me wanna pose the question, is Rob Zombie worthy of being called a master of horror?

Yes. Idc what anyone says, especially not @Jello Biafra , he’s a master of horror in his own right even though no one seems to like him for whatever reason.

 

[Nicole0416_718_929_646212]

@Flex Grossman could you please consider my nomination for The Devil’s Rejects by Rob Zombie an honorary master of horror .

You have to watch The Devils Rejects in order to have an appreciation for 3 from Hell from which it derived otherwise it won’t have the same affect. You need some familiarity with the character background. It’s like a Part 2

I’ve seen all of Rob’s movies, minus 31. It’s just that his style of filming and storytelling gets old to me fast. I liked House of 1000 Corpses most out of the rest of his films because it was atleast kinda campy and cheesy and not so self serious, plus his characters and stories hadn’t become grating to me yet. But all of his films afterwards (minus maybe El Superbeasto) felt and looked the same and I don’t really care for any of his characters. I made it as far as the Firefly family taking people hostage in 3 from Hell before I went and shut it off.

 

[Nicole0416_718_929_646212]

People saying they don’t like 3 from Hell, you do realize that House of Corpses, Devils Rejects and 3 from Hell is a trilogy - they’re all related. How can you rate and review a movie without knowing the origin story

Ok I guess. You’re entitled to your opinion. Devils Rejects was better than 1000 corpses. If you don’t appreciate his storytelling then you’re not going to like his movies. Oh well. It is what it is.
