The Horror Movie Thread

Recommended Posts

I watched Nope in theaters and I'm kinda mixed about it:

-It's a really enjoyable watch, but much more of a sci-fi thriller / comedy than an horror movie. I'd say there's 2.5 scenes that are really horror but other than that it's not scary at all

-The story itself kinda makes no sense at all

Spoiler

Like they can get out of there alive after seeing it kill a bunch of people but they just go "No let's just take pictures of it and make money" :toofloppy:

Then they decide "Let's risk all of our lives not to kill a horse" and still almost get the horse killed doing so

Also even if it's there just to make the movie more gore the backstory of Jupe is basically useless, it's just scary and add to the overall "Hollywood harms animals" storyline

 

So yeah it's enjoyable and def a great time but don't expect it to be mind-blowingly good or scary

the Gordy storyline wasn’t about “Hollywood harms animals” at all, theres a lot to unpack about it but it was basically there to understand Jupes character, in short he developed some kinda complex in which he believes he had a special bond with Gordy so he wouldn’t harm him, he then applies this same logic to the alien/UFO thinking it won’t harm him, he thinks he can tame the beast again like he believes he did with Gordy but he is obviously wrong

 

also the thing about them staying to get a picture is kinda the whole point Jordan Peele is making with this movie, the lengths people will go to to go viral or make money, the dangerous situations or places they’ll put themselves in etc

watched the killing of a sacred deer the other night and it was pretty great, v weird and spooky and feat. an absolutely chilling, incredible performance by berry keoghan.

 

finally saw x (mostly bc i'd heard such good things about pearl, which i'm now dying to see) and it was classic slasher done right– loved the quick back and forth parallel scene cuts.

Honestly it just looks like a worse copy of Scream 2 to me :toofunny:

 

I really wish they would have just waited a year or two before releasing it cause it's obvious it was rushed
