I remember that you didn’t enjoy TC2, so I’m surprised you liked Annabelle: Creation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually kinda enjoyed Annabelle, too. It is a cheap fast food? Yeah. It is the weakest movie on the TCU Universe? For sure. But it’s nowhere as bad as it’s score shows. The two main reasons for the hate towards this movie was: 1) The hate back in 2014, of people criticizing Warner for expanding The Conjuring, the movie already had that vibe of “bad movie” since the beginning. 2) Critics were way harder to please than these days. I doubt the reception of this movie would be so harsh, when we have critics giving high scores to average (but good flicks) like Lights Ouija or Ouija 2. The movie surely has problems, it’s forgettable, has a problematic third act, acting is far from good, but at least it has two terrific scenes (the elevator one is memorable), a good production and a good atmosphere, which put it at least on par with some flicks that are loved these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babz06 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 14 hours ago, Mockingjay Raphael said: The biggest problem when characterizing horror movies is that people have this wrong assumption that the genre rely on jump scares, when in fact the main basis of the genre is to use mundane problems to tell a scary story through images, behind every monster of the genre, there is an allegory about the problems of society, Get Out, is, in fact, Horror in its purest form, metaphoric Horror, IMO. Exactly, besides there are sub-categories to the horror genre. Slasher, monster/creature, paranormal, etc... It's never been about just one thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I can’t believe it took them 10 years to make a sequel to The Strangers. The studio releasing Strangers 2 got “Kidnap” to over $30m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a sequel means nothing these days, it’s more like poison, actually. Especially one that took 10 years to happen. She definitely is in this type of movie like The Call/Kidnap, I’m pretty sure that this (awful) movie, that has been online for one year wouldn’t have grossed $30m without her.

I’m sure they’ll get Strangers 2 to a half decent gross. What I meant was it’s not a complete DOA because of the studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 So we’ve had massive hits Get Out, Split, Annabelle Creation and of course IT. Now we have Happy Death Day on a smaller level. But theres been plenty of misses under $30m total: A Cure For Wellness, The Bye Bye Man, Rings, Wish Upon, It Comes At Night, Flatliners, Belko Experiment. Resident Evil, Alien and Underworld are all dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These few misses doesn’t really matter when we have massive hits like IT & GO on the same year. 2017 will end as the biggest year for Horror movie, and I doubt we’ll get a revival anytime soon.

That One Girl Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Rings is in my bottom 5 but none of those are the absolute worst of the year (and I highly doubt Jigsaw will be either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
