Krissykins Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Remember when SMG was going to be the next scream queen? I miss her.I miss her too. She can be classed as a scream queen though. (I Know What You Did Last Summer, Buffy, Scream 2, The Grudge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I think this is going to be bad. Horror doesn`t need big names, just really good hook and scares. Since they are casting big names, I assume hook and scares suck ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newknicksfan Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 You cannot just simply call this horror. of course you think it's going to be bad, Cate Blanchett could give the greatest performance of all time and you would still talk yourself into hating it.

fishstick Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Blanchett gives the greatest camp/hammy performances of all times. I give credit where credit is due. I just don`t believe in star-studded horror because history is against it. The whole point of horror is that rather unknown actors stand in for the audience and that you don`t know who`s safe and who isn`t precisely because they don`t have any baggage.

Jack Nevada Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) I hope this is going to be rated R so Jessica Chastain can pull them titties out.. I mean so they can be as intense as possible. Yeah Edited April 7, 2013 by Jack Nevada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, its gothic romance/ghost story with horror. GDT has talked about this for lengths and still have people misinformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give bias credit where your bias credit is wanted to be given. Anyways, you call it horror I'll call it a gothic ROMANCE. You just don't believe in star studded horror. MMKAY, how dare Del Toro do something different from your pre-conceived notions. How dare Del Toro make a original gothic romance ghost story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 What does GDT know about romance ? Don't get me wrong. He is one of my favorite directors but the man clearly knows more about horror than romance, gothic or otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Excellent cast On a side note while Del Toro did put his name on quite a few mediocre to bad movies ( in terms of producing ) and while his american commercial films like Blade 2 or Hellboy didn't quite live up to his name I got one movie for ya Pan's Labyrinth end of discussion 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 That's why you gotta wait to see the movie lil darlin. Nope. This is a Box Office forum and 90% of the discussion in this forum is about movies that are to be released in future. People are going to discuss the movie. Some people will diss it without seeing it. Some people like you will rave about it without seeing it either. This is how it is. If you can't deal with the criticism then find another hobby. The fact is that Del Toro has spend last few years catering exclusively to fanboys. Can he make a successful gothic romance ? Maybe but I don't expect him to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newknicksfan Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 This is box office forum?!?!?!? WTF i had no idea......... I haven't raved about anything regarding this film, i'm just giving a great director the benefit of the doubt, something your cynical self might try doing.(especially considering he's one of your favs, which is probably a bold face lie). So instead of putting words in my mouth do yourself a favor and find a new hobby...Savvy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newknicksfan Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hellboy is awesome both of them, and I'd say there was a nice little romance involved between "red" and Liz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That movie will not be in his comfort zone.Actually I am looking forward to Crimson Peak as long as it is an old school horror that GDT talked about in one of his earlier interviews. I like character driven horror movies and dislike the new found footage fad and for the record I like each of GDT produced horror picture with the exception of Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, which isn't a bad movie either.

newknicksfan Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 That's fair enough, but i think Del Toro can pull it off, especially since it has elements of the supernatural/horror. This is not just a straight up romance or horror film, so we'll have to just wait and see if he can pull it off. It's been years but Cronos had elements of a love story i believe, though that may have been between the grandfather and granddaughter. But even still i think he's got what it takes.

That movie will not be in his comfort zone.Actually I am looking forward to Crimson Peak as long as it is an old school horror + Gothic + Ghost that GDT talked about in one of his earlier interviews. Mostly called it a Romance/Gothic/ghost movie, only seen one where he mentions horror. I like character driven horror movies and dislike the new found footage fad and for the record I like each of GDT produced horror picture with the exception of Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, which isn't a bad movie either.
