Aplandg Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So many supernatural (ghosts/possession) horror movies once again. Thank goodness for Strangers 2 at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I would prefer to see a good horror movie breaking out, but after the disaster of last year, I'm taking any break out as good for the genre, lol And I don't get all this hate for PG13 movies, of course most of them are silly, but there are a lot of R movies so stupid as these movies, Insidious showed that is possible to make an amazing movie being PG13, and they're easy to break out, since they have a bigger audience than Rated R movies Edited January 21, 2016 by Mockingjay Raphael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Conjuring and The Paranormal Activity series for example. Hell, the Saw series is in the Guinness Book Of Records for the most successful horror franchise of all time. I find PG13 restricts horror too much. Also, for me, The Final Girls last year was the final straw with this PG13 bullshit. There was a movie that DARED call itself a love letter to movie like Friday The 13th. Jesus the reason Friday The 13th fans get so much shit is because of how violent those movies where. I cant Even talk about that movie without flashbacks to all the insults I got for loving slasher movies which I assume was the film makers intentions.

Wasn't the whole Top 3 of biggest horror movies of last year all PG13 movies? When I say that it's easier to a PG13 movie to make success, it's because of the teen public, they eat almost everything, you don't even need to have a good premise, do you really think that movies like Ouija or The Forest would make the same success if they were released as Rated R movies? I don't think so, that's happens because the adult public that consumes Rated R movies are a bit more exigent when they choose to watch a movie than the teen public for example And I never watched that movie that you talked about, but I can understand your frustration, how the hell can they expect to make a slasher movie being PG13?!

The Stingray Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I get the argument that any horror film making money is good for the genre as a whole, but I just can't bring myself to support/watch the same unoriginal PG-13 bullshit over and over again. Mainstream horror is in a terrible state at the moment and unfortunately I don't see that changing any time soon. They're dirt cheap and always make profit. As raphael said, those pesky teens will watch anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinaTakla Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Just watched THE BOY. One of my favorite horror movies of the past 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Binoche Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I've seen "The Witch" and it is FANTASTIC. I actually think it could make a decent amount at the box office, except for the very difficult to understand dialogue. It adds to the atmosphere and overall mood and authenticity of the film, but I don't know how the GA will respond. You get the gist of what they're saying, but not the specifics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxofficerules Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The Boy is getting quite a bit of anger levelled at it from horror fans. Apperently it shamelessly rips off a very well liked independent movie from a few years ago. They didn't say the title (apperently you'll be able to figure this entire movie out if you've seen the other movie) but having another look at the trailer, I think I can figure out which movie that is.

Oh, that's good to know, I asked in the other topic if it would have chance to break out and the consensus was: 'never' lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm guessing due to the lack of online buzz The Boy won't do well this weekend. It looks far better and easier to market than The Forest at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF also didn't have any buzz pre release, that's why everybody was predicting under $5m, maybe we will have another surprise this weekend!
