Horror 2015

It would be hard for it to bomb, It cost just $1m and Blumhouses marketing spends are typically $20m.

I'm sure it'll be fine after all is said and done. Money wise.

I already hear it was R I'm sure from an interview with the film makers. But I'm not 100%.

Watched CREEP last night and it scared me. First time I've been scared by a film this year. Bravo to Mark Duplass and Blumhouse. But boo for not having the balls for a proper release!

 

Been hearing great things about that one.

 

The Witch, Krampus, 6 Miranda Drive and Crimson Peak are the ones I'm looking forward to btw.

So now that I've had a few weeks to digest it, I've decided that It Follows is easily one of my favorite horror movies of all time.

 

A great and relatively unique premise. Superb style and design throughout the movie, mostly realistic but just a tad bit mysterious. A brilliant sense of paranoia and dread throughout.

Shit, I forgot all about Creep. I enjoyed it to, but it always seemed like a really hard sell for the public. Unless they changed something from when I saw it in 2014, it's a slow build up without a ton of trailer money shots.

That ending was great though.

I saw the trailer for Crimson Peak at Terminator it looks pretty good. My early prediction for The Gallows is that it's going to debut in the low teens possibly about 12-13 million OW and 37 million domestic.

That would be another solid run for Blumhouse.

I'm hoping it can break out but I'm hearing the marketing in the states isn't very good.

theres a few TV spots then and there but it's kinda confusing a later bit. It acts like a supernatural film but feels like something else.

The Gallows was shot for a PG13 rating but the MPAA slapped them with an R saying the movie was too scary and intense.

[JohnnyGossamer]

When will Witch get a wide enough release? And, given the synopsis, will it have slog through found footage or is it more cinematic than I fear? Thanks.

Love that! I'm sure The Conjuring was rated R for the same reason.

[Asyulus]

Damn, Insidious 3 and Poltergeist could have been much better and will gross higher if it was rated R.

I still don't understand why both of them are for kids.

Umm what?

[PDC1987]

Keith really is awful. The totals are not middling when compared to their investments. Won't Insidious and It Follows end with very similar budget to gross ratios? So why is only one middling?

 

Down at the other end of the box-office scale The Gallows didn't quite make it to $10M as Warner Bros. is reporting it made $9.8 in 2,720 venues. It's been a fairly quiet year for horror, with Poltergeist opening at $22.6M ($47.1M domestic total) and Insidious Chapter 3 $22.7M ($51.6M domestic total) doing middling business. It Follows, which made $14.7M on a micro-budget, is one of the few films from the genre with anything to brag about.

 

[Krissykins]

Insidious dropped a lot from part 2. But it'll still make profits.

Poltergeist cost $35m, but will make profit with worldwide grosses ($94m just now).

I don't know how much It Follows cost.

Creep is now available on Netflix instant.

Scream Factory keeps me more intrigued, they're releasing Demon Knight and Bordello Of Blood among the few this fall! My childhood is basically coming back.

[Boxofficerules]

Before I wake may not be getting released anymore, company went bankrupt.

I had been wanting to see Final Girl with Abigail Breslin and Wes Bentley, for quite a while. It wasn't quite as good as I thought it would be but it was still somewhat interesting. They really needed to flesh out the script a little bit more. Way too much vaguery and unexplained things were in the movie. But it looked really good and ultimately ended up being a fairly decent but not great movie
