The Horror Movie Thread

I never watched it but he was on a pretty long running show called Burn Notice. He also cameoed in all three Raimi Spider-Man films, and Darkman as well. He was in Cars 2 which I only saw for my kids. He also did a silly film called My Name is Bruce poking fun at his career I enjoyed. He was the coach in Disney's Sky High. He was elderly Elvis fighting a mummy on Bubba Ho-Tep. There's others too but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

So I decided to take a look at the early 90's comedy Repossessed. It was said to be sort of a mix of the Naked Gun films with a parody of The Exorcist, even Leslie Nielsen starred in it. It was bad. Rating wise, I'd give it a 4/10. Why still a 4 if it was so bad?

Honestly some of the jokes worked. The acting for the most part was competent,even though it felt like everyone was trying to hard. I enjoyed seeing Linda Blair try to riff on her most known role. The whole thing just doesn't come together though, the jokes really falter in the second half, and without decent humor and not even a great parody of The Exorcist itself, it left it feeling boring in stretches. Still, I managed a few laughs so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

I think the evil dead remake was Fantastic the first time I watched it but the second time was totally meh.

The Tales From The Crypt reboot is officially dead.

I'm of a few opinions about this. Considering it was on a fairly mediocre cable channel, my hopes weren't high. Then Shaymalan was involved, which at one point sounded awful, but his last few films have been a turn around and I genuinely enjoyed them. Then there's the fact, I love Tales from the Crypt, and I'd like to see it return. So I guess I'm sad we didn't get to see how this would've turned out, but I'm not really upset.

Then there's the fact that the Cryptkeeper from the first incarnation couldnt be on the show because HBO owns the rights to the character. That's probably why TNT canned it.

Milla Jovovich almost quit the RE movie series becaue of how Michelle Rodriguez was cast as Rain.

It looks like many in Universal are concerned about The Mummy reboot.

I see Wonder Woman still maintaining her top spot on the second box office weekend and The Mummy being second. Not only that, but I still have a lot of doubts about this whole thing working.

What? The monster universe not working? I don't think it will either.

I know most here don't care about the franchise but I do.

Apparently saw:legacy, has a good chance of its title being changed to Jigsaw

‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ is a Direct Sequel to Original Film

I don't get why people see those movies. Even more so considering how the director is a convicted pedophile. And sorry, serving just 3 years in prison is not justice. He should have got at least 14 years.

Jeepers Creepers 2 was a good movie though.

Watch an "open secret" on YouTube. You would be stunned about how much Pedophile activities are going on with some pretty high profile directors and producers. Sure they haven't proven anything..... but the claims are fairly convincing. 

I think that sadly we probably support pedophiles in the film industry all the time without even knowing it. 

Now personally I love jeepers creepers but I think this guy should have never been allowed to work again. 

I don't mean to start a huge debate but it's disturbing to me that you can basically be blacklisted in Hollywood for saying certain things that aren't politically correct, but pedo people get to come right back? Messed up world.

I loved that one more than 1! I'm really disappointed the sequel is set between the first and second though.

The 3rd is supposed to be a prequel of sorts to the 2nd though, if I read the article correctly.

Correct. But apparently there is a part 4 that was supposed to be set after 2. That's what i wanted this to be.

I'm not sure that'll ever happen though.

Amityville: The Awakening has been pulled from it's release.

The ‘Friday the 13th’ Rights Battle Heats Up

This is such a sh*t show. That explanation about potential Jason films outside the US while Friday the 13th films inside the US is really strange, and frankly stupid. I hope they get this worked out somehow (though, of all the horror icons, I could probably do without a Jason film easiest. I'll take Michael Myers or Freddy first.).

Spinoff ‘The Crooked Man’ Officially Confirmed; Writer Comes Aboard

I was impressed with the Annabelle prequel spin-off, so this has my attention.

Thoughts on this from major RE fans on this site?

I'm thinking I need to pick this up.

Worried about his face and voice. Last time the way he delivered his lines felt... "tired".

The Nightmare One Elm Street reboot that has Freddy's illegitimate son is still happening.

I think you have to start reading the articles you're linking. The thing you put in the hyperlink about the son was proven to be false in the article itself.

Thank goodness that's fake.
