Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Squanch72]

I didn't watch the trailer, but I want to see it just from your description.

I know....right? LOL. If I could make a Bigfoot movie I would go for the ok you skinbags effed up the earth enough and they all come out of caves and take the earth back from humans in super scary coming out of nowhere and too fast to run from make you jump out of your chair old school horror style.

 

[Squanch72]

I'm generally not into the first person shaky cam stuff. Some are good, some not.
As long as they don't do that digitized thing with the screeching where it gets all blocky and you can't see anything for a half second, like they did in the trailer.

I really enjoyed The Last Exorcism though.
I need to rewatch Blair Witch some day. I hated it when it came out.

Yeah I hate the shaky camera thing too, kind of worried it's a good idea that will get jazzed up by bouncy camera work. I hate the Blair Witch and Cloverfield style flicks just because of the camera work.

I would like to help you with that. I would also do as realistic gore/violence as possible. The really over the top stuff doesn't scare you but a realistic wound adds a lot of tension. Also, people can't take 1/4 of the damage they get in movies. C'mon, you get a 10 open slash in your thigh, you're going to pass out from blood loss, cause that s**t bleeds like a geyser.

Cloverfield could have been 80 billion times better.

I'd be down for a decent, non-shakycam Sasquatch movie. Less action oriented, more creepy and f*cked up psychological horror. Like Jaws with a Bigfoot.

This I like, a group of people running and one Bigfoot swinging an arm low to use a nail to slice Achilles tendons through the group so he can take his time and come back and finish the job at his leisure. Then the scary scene of them all freaking out is he coming back, did your hear something!!!

 

[Squanch72]

Plus they would have to cameo the ancient alien guy, like Bigfoot kills him off because he knows too much LOL.

I want all of this in a movie. Jaws with a Bigfoot is the coolest movie description I've ever heard.

 

[dozicusmaximus]

would you run out of your tent with your boobies all out and shaking?

You know it.

There's an argument saying people are too dumb to get a psychological thriller/suspenseful horror movie these days. I think the studios/film makers are pushing this easier to digest stuff, not challenging the audience to try and think.
To me it's just as bad. They are basically calling us all idiots and then we buy tickets to this garbage and ask for more. Fast food cinema. People really aren't that stupid, you hope. Just apathetic and lazy.
Don't get me wrong there are still tons of awesome movies being made. There has been as many movies made the past 15 years as were made in the first 80 years.
I think I have just become more and more disenchanted with big Hollywood movies over the past 15yrs. I still love stupid action movies where I already know the outcome in the first 5 minutes. There's a time and a place.
IMO YMMV and sh*t.

And I would totally watch JawFoot.

The they sure as fuq better cast Anthony Hopkins in it as the "Quint" role.

Can Ron Pearlman at least cameo in it? I feel like that would be a good call in some capacity.

 

[Corey Y]

My wife and I really enjoyed The Innkeepers and that was a really slow burn, psychological horror movie. It was on the borderline of not even calling it horror, but it was a ghost movie. It was a super tiny no budget indie flick though, the kind that only comes out at festivals, gets awards and then is on Netflix.

 

[Squanch72]

I thought the Lost Coast Tapes was a pretty decent bigfoot flick.

He would have to have a "Billy" (from predator) kind of role.

 

[Corey Y]

I'd say either Walter Goggins or Timothy Olyphant in the Brody role, Ron Pearlman as the Quint. I want to say Paul Giamatti as the Hooper, not sure. Set it in the Pacific northwest, center it around deep forest logging instead of the beach, which displaces the Bigfoot. I'd watch the crap out of that movie.

Damn I was trying to remember Walter Coggin's name. Love his stuff. I need to watch Crystal again, best fight scene ever.

I know I watched it, but I can't remember much. I must have been messed up or something. I'll have to watch it again.

The best Hollywood Horror movie I've seen recently was Cabin in the Woods. Not suspense. But highly enjoyable. Some Lovecraft influence is never a bad thing.

Carpenter's The Thing is probably my favorite horror movie of all time. The Shining is up there.

Great Flick!!!!!

I can't really pick a fave horror movie, but one that's always in my top 5 is the original "The Haunting".
