Essential The Official Coli Horror Film Thread: Discussion, Recommendations And Murder.

[storyteller]

I have the same complaint about Heart Eyes and the Monkey both; they're much more comedy than horror. The tension is never built to a real scare; it's always a laugh.

They're both good, not great. Nothing close to entering the all-time horror comedies conversation. But they did what they set out to do. My whole clique was rolling during a priest's speech in the Monkey.

It is what it is, Amen.

Yeah, it was silly B-movie fun. My theater erupted in laughter during the priest’s speech, too. It was hilarious in the trailer and even more-so in the final product, so bravo there. Frodo’s bit got some hard chuckles out of me as well and those characters weren’t even part of the lead cast. Lol.

Viewed the “toy monkey” the same way as I did with Death in the Final Destination series. Had me feeling like an agent of chaos myself to where I was feening for the gross-out kills, rather than the family drama that the movie wanted me to feel for. There was one point of the film though where, to me, it straight up goes overboard with the campiness and suffers because of it.

The moment in which Hal’s twin brother reveals his plan like an unmasked Ghostface or scorned Batman villain was

Baited the fukk outta my guy with the fake-out handshake tho.

Here's one I've been looking forward to, and that finally drops on Shudder this Friday. I know it's been posted before, but since it's about to come out, here's a reminder.

Little Bites:

Just finished watching this. Its like an alternate universe of Nosferatu, told in real time. Love how dark it was. Slow burn, but I liked it a lot.

7.5/10

Edit: WOWWW, that trailer is fukking awful. Legitimately one of the worst trailers I've ever seen in my life. Not only is there a shyton of massive spoilers, it completely lies about the plot and tone of the movie. This trailer makes it seem like a horror action film with lots of jump scares and kills. Its actually a slowburn with deeper messages and its 90% talking.

Fun fact about Deep Blue Sea and Halloween H2O. Originally LL was supposed to die in both films. But test audiences loved bruh so much that the directors. Reworked the scripts for homie to survive.

Remembers, when LL called Hartnet 'Bowling Pin Head'

Yeah, after watching it, that trailer feels like it completely hides the tone and pace of the actual movie. I hate how often that happens with horror trailers.

I liked Little Bites as a slowburn with an interesting allegory. Early on, the monster felt like a metaphor for addiction. But some scenes made me think it's more broadly about a mother whose afraid to pass her own trauma on to her daughter. They did it in really effective fashion though, so that it didn't feel overbearing with the message.

The editors might have gotten away with trimming some scenes, but this felt like a pretty personal work for the creators. I bet it'll find its niche audience that REALLY vibe with it.

6.5 for me...but probably the most thoughtful work I've seen so far this year.

I watched In Search of Darkness 1990-1994 last week.

They had some people talk about Def by Temption. I remeber they had Ernest dikkerson whose the cinematagropher on the movie.

I've never seen the movie before, but I think i might need to do a double feature with that and People Under the Stairs tonight
