Other Horror • Re: Leatherface 3-D

2011-06-17T17:24:13+00:00

I'm excited that it's ignoring the Hewit family, and a sequal to the '74 movie! and I'm excited that Moesely will be starring in it.

TCM2, Leatherface and Next Generation all seemed to direct sequals to the first movie, but replacing each other, TCM2 going for a comedic tone, Leatherface going for a slasher path and Next Generation... uh..I don't know what Kim Henkel was smoking.... I guess this is yet another path to follow, since you cannot replace the original, there has to be a sequal, and how the first one ends when it just cuts off when she is driven away, it makes you wonder what will happen next.

I didn't like the 2024 movie, Leatherface seemed too much like a big hulking killer, and the movie felt too action packed.
Original felt more like a docudrama about a tragic and bizare event that happend, and Leatherface wasn't some big monster, he was just a mentally retarded guy who was a member of a crazy family.

I read the plot for the new one... sounds very interesting... I'm looking forward to this, and hope to not be disapointed.

who in yalls opnion is the best new horror icon who have been in horror films made sense 2024
and how do they and there films hold up inconparason to past icons and films

the majors would of course be
1.) Victor Crowley - Hatchet (2006), Hatchet 2 (2010)
2.) The Snow Phantom - Fritt Vilt/Cold Prey (2006), Cold prey 2 (2008), Cold prey 3 (2010)

7.) The Inbred Rednecks - The Wrong Turn series

any others not on the list are of course welcome
but please reframe from judging characters or films you have not seen

as for my personal opinion of the matter for my choice for best killer and best films goes
to the snow phantom from the cold prey series without question
the first cold prey is a Supurb horror film the sequel is great and the 3rd film a prequel is goodish but not great but the killer is great in all 3 specialy in the first he just flows with cold icy death his outfit is made to have him perfectly blend with the snowy inviroment he dwells in
and his outfit /mask work just like michael myers mask did in the original halloween as this stark white form just flows ghost like out of the darkness

Other Horror • GUTTERBALLS

2011-05-25T00:55:44+00:00

Has anybody else seen this movie? It's a "throwback" to the teenybopper slasher movies of the 1980s. I liked it a lot and you can tell the director took his time trying to create a nostalgic, '80s-themed atmosphere. The version I watched also had a classic Canadian butt rock soundtrack with bands like April Wine, the Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Chilliwack, Honeymoon Suite, Loverboy and Trooper. If you think this generation of slasher movies sucks then you should give GUTTERBALLS a try. Unlike most independent horror movies today that don't live up to the hype (HATCHET, BLACK DEVIL DOLL, THANKSKILLING, etc.), GUTTERBALLS delivers. I don't recommend it though if you can't tolerate naked ladies or even a few naked men.

Here's the link if you'd like to watch it:

I do agree that this was a good remake the better of the remakes in my opinion I feel that nothing will replace Robert England. The originals will always be better.

Other Horror • Englund vs. Haley - Who is the One True Freddy?

2011-05-19T01:17:10+00:00

Well, what is your personal opinion on this matter?

Recently, I saw the new remake of Nightmare on Elm Street and it was extremely good in my opinion. Jackie Earle Haley did one great job giving us a new image of the dreaded Freddy Kruger. Though it seemed necessary to put a new Freddy into the mix for the remake, what about Robert Englund? Eight horror-changing films (a few duds here and there) really make you an icon. The new Freddy sure did scare me more than the old, but you got to give props to Englund for making Freddy become an icon in the face of horror. Your opinion?

For directing, I would give it to Wes Craven. Romero is great, but I just have a bias for Craven. He puts just the right amount of humor into his (though the part with the Amish man in Diary of the Dead actually cracked me up). Scream started me into the whole horror genre, so Wes Craven really inspired me. As for actual villain, I would say Hannibal Lecter. He freaked you out just by talking through thick, bullet proof glass to Jodie Foster. But then when it comes his time to perform the deadly kills, he sure does deliver. Still haunts me at night, haha.

Seconded. If it were not for these two there would be no Stephen King, John Carpenter, Jason Voorhees etc, etc, etc.

I love Stephen King, but in a way this seems like too much. Even King himself sees Robert Heinlein and Richard Matherson as 'King,' so I don't know what to make of this.

I hope it goes along with the original series (1-3) as opposed to being another remake. Yet, they have the right idea of going back to what made the original great. Although 3D may ruin that feeling a little. Though, when used correctly, it can add depth to the movie, and make the viewer more involved. On the other hand, you can have stuff flying at you and dozens of jump scares (probably more fit for a TCM2-style sequel).

Gunnar Hansen being on board would be a dream come true. He could make you scared one minute, and then feel bad for him the next. He IS Leatherface.

I'd like to see more of Chop Top after the cancelled All-American Massacre put him in jail (that would explain his absence in the sequel). It's safe to assume that Grandpa's finally dead, but who knows with that guy. Maybe he'll finally be with Grandma (and/or Great Grandma).

The 18-inch chainsaw seems best for a more realistic a approach, maybe even a replica of the original.
