Can we have a monster movie thread?
Just rewatched Del Toro's mimic. Still pretty good
>Good performances all around
>Spooky bugs, great concept and design
>Dated CGI but thankfully only used for wide shots
>Tons of religious imagery (typical Del Taco), gives it a unique look tho
Bumping with another one
The Host (2006)
>Fish monster looks great, actually looks like a mutation/abomination instead of a well designed killing machine
>Dysfunctional Korean family humor's kinda funny
>Great finale

Your thread just got Song'd.
Krampus wasn't that scary, but great practical effects and monster designs.

I remember watching Mimic on TV when I was younger. The dead kid will be something I'll always remember because I'd never thought about someone dying so young. Watched it recently and I loved the monster design. Also appreciate it a bit more.
>>64653943
>watch Snowpiercer for Song
>it's shit
>>64653475
wow, didn't realize that was del toro's
>>64654991
Give it a rewatch. You'll be able to tell from the visuals alone.
>>64654134
Is there a torrent for this yet? I really wanna see it!!
Macready was the Thing
>>64653902
I just could not get into this movie.
Night of the Creeps was cheesy, but fun
Shivers. Old Cronenberg is best Cronenberg. Rabid is better imho, but it's not exactly monsters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK9Wal9Dvic
Incubus (1982) The lone monster is off-screen most of the time, but I still liked it.
Independence Day had a really cool Alien design. The autopsy scene still holds up in terms of suspense and effects.
I just hope they don't fuck it up too much in the sequel.
>>64657609

Creature movie subgenre is best horror genre. Fuck the human/serial killer/zombie subgenre.
Isolation (2005)
Arachnophobia (1990)
Leviathan (1989)
Splinter (2008)
Alien (1979) - Aliens (1986)
The Thing (1982)
Slither (2006)
The Burrowers (2008)
Black Sheep (2006)
Galaxy of Terror (1981)

DeepStar Six (1989)
Forbidden World (1982)
Bump for fuck sake. To get a movie discussion thread above the fucking filth that is /tv/. Meme threads are bumped constantly and threads like this drop off the board quickly.
>>64656241
Neither one was The Thing and Mac was in the sequel video game at the end.
>>64658802
1 minute and it is on page 4 already.
I didn't like Mimic the first time I saw it, but I didn't hate it either. Time for a re-watch.
How about The Gate? The first one was pretty good, and the monsters interesting.
>mfw it snows like hell outside, boot up both The Thing movies just for the mood and enjoy them both equally
I also downloaded The Relic, about to watch it later
>>64655384
torrent never, nothing on any torrent sites or warez

Del Toro is a hack director.
>>64660189
posting on the wrong thread
JUST
Well Japanese movies would be an obvious choice.
But I think some American monster movies from the 50s are real masterpieces of this genre.
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) (and actually most Harryhausen movies)
Them! (1954)
The Blob (1958)
There's also British-made The Abominable Snowman (1957) which is seriously chilling
I was gonna say Pumpkinhead, but those are technically demon movies.

poor Spino. He gets undue hate.
>>64660385
Where the demon is more a of a slasher/monster hybrid
>tfw only found out years later how PH is pretty much a reworked Xeno costume
>>64660668
its only T-rex cucks from /an/ who hate him
>>64657609
>>64657966
Maybe because It's not a typical monster movie. It does character development better than any other I know.
>>64654803
Even if you didn't like Snowpiercer, Namgoong and his daughter were entertaining.
>>64654134
>>64655384
Bluray will be out on Feb 23, so a couple weeks before that
>>64653902
That movie was shit.
>>64657609
Same here, I tried watching it twice I just didn't find it engaging.
The Relic Monster was pretty great.
>>64659409
The Gate did really have creative monsters, but they were scary as fuck
Underrated. The original tv-movie is solid too.
>>64661827
It was great, except when they did full CGI in some scenes. The closeups were awesome though. Like a reptilian lion/bear.
>>64653475
Question about MIMIC 3.
Did it really end withthe guy surviving an explosion in a fridge?
I watched it incredibly high and it was the comfiest shit ever, but I don't remember much of it.
>Deep Rising will never get a sequel
Fuck, I really wanted to see what's on that island
>>64662718
Just saw the movie not long ago.
The sequel would had been a great "survive an island full of monsters" kind of movie.
>>64662718
It will get one (or maybe five) eventually, but it's going to be a cheapo SyFy original.
It's the fate of all comfy 90's creature movies.
>>64657826
I really hope they have another "icky part" in the sequel. Best thing would be the scientist, who somehow lived, being dissected by the aliums
>>64662670
I wasn't even aware they made sequels. I read about some of it and it says the bugs now have realistic looking human skin? haha

>>64662856
another "buncha guys chasing monsters around town" movie, also Monster Squad
og predator design just walking on through
>>64663074
honestly that isn't bad, but you can't beat the classic dreadlocks and mandibles
>>64653475
Anyone ever see monster man? I saw it late late night one time on scyfy years ago. Dude and his buddy on roadtrip pick up some chick hitchhiking. Can't remember much else plot wise, but there's one scene they go into a bar and everyone has a leg or arm or multiple limbs missing. Later you find out they all "donate" them to the creature so he'll spare them or he takes them or something. There's this unkillable creepy ass looking thing that drives a monster truck. It chains some guy up like on a dog run, maybe two guys, and runs over ones head with the massive wheels. Then the other dudes legs. Its pretty brutal and scared the shit out of younger me. It was a tense flick for scyfy, but like I said its been years and I was a kid
>always loved giant crocodile movies, no matter how shitty
>They captured a giant croc in Philippines
>omg yes
>fucking pinoys didn't take care of it and it died
>>64663140
Dont know but sounds good, im interested.
Monster movies are GOAT horror. I prefer a mysterious, tangible threat over a guy with a knife or fucking ghosts.
>>64663236
Very jeepers creepers esque
>>64663301
Yeah but the whole tribute part sounds way more interesting.
guys, it seems like the sequel toPacific Rimwas cancelled
Tremors is a perfect movie.
>>64663155
Some of 'em croc movies are surprisingly decent, and they often dare to be funny too. Alligator (1980) totally works as a comfy cop comedy.
>>64663335
>>64663334
Well like I said I don't totally remember if they offer up their parts willingly or if he took them and just let them live. I do remember the scene is tense as shit and everyone in the bar makes a move on the main characters
>>64653475
cunts
>>64653475
I thought this was interesting, especially if you're into the concept of monster art. It's also more of a comedy mockumentary, especially with Ray Wise in it
The Fly is great
>>64663539
Forgot pic
>>64653902
Sad ending, would not watch again.
>>64663345
damn straight
>>64663539
>>64663568
I really enjoyed this. Some of the monster designs were great.
most recent one I saw was Krampus, which I can only recommend for the beginning and the design of the Krampus himself - his little helpers are cool, but most of the film is fighting off monster versions of toys, which wasn't great.
>>64653475
i was just watching Monster Squad this morning while playing fallout. such a fun comfy 80s kid adventure
>>64663499
Still sounds good, wich to know the name of it.
>>64663738
>In 2006, "Wizard" magazine made a list of the 100 Greatest Villains of All Time, Dracula was ranked as #30 on the list. But, surprisingly, it was for Duncan Regehr's performance in this film. His performance was chosen over all other versions of the character. Regehr's Dracula is still considered to be one the absolute best interpretations of the character.
>>64663345
is that sean bean?
Fun fact about Mimic, OP.
Del Toro's father was kidnapped by a cartel down in Guadalajara during the filming, so his best friend James fuckin Cameron just gave him the million to give to the cartel and everyone got out alive.
>>64657826
>AND WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SMELL?
>>64663752
Im 90% sure its called monster man. A quick Google could confirm and provide more info, I'm just lazy
>>64663839
>so his best friend James fuckin Cameron
awww :3
>>64663777
>Duncan Regehr
>superior to Christopher Lee
>>64663839
That fact doesn't sound fun for anyone involved but the cartel
>>64663860
I just get something like a show about a guy making monster costumes as a result.
>>64663738
How the fuck can you watch a movie while playing a video game
No wonder you shitheads can't understand anything
>>64663901
At least Papa del Toro is still around, so Id say everyone got out happy.
On the flipside, that may have been why the production suffered so much.
>>64663914
Talk shit about my mobile cellular device

Nah, you are talking out of your ass, every "famous" creature had 10-20 prototype versions before final was chosen, you do know that whole Alien design was supposed to be vagina's and dicks?
Not only that, they had to move in the rythm of the sex. Pictures dont give credit to what Gaiger had in his sick head. It was felatio from anal to oral to vulva all mixed together
>>64663962
>paying absolute attention to a movie i've seen numerous times

oof. big mistake
prime Bacon, based original movie, fun turn of the decade fashion. what was the last Marvel movie you saw boyo?
>>64664381
>Nah, you are talking out of your ass, every "famous" creature had 10-20 prototype versions before final was chosen
The difference is, anon's pic was the final Predator design, well into production - they actually started shooting with it, with none other than JCVD in the costume.

Based James Cameron saved the production's ass when he came up with the mandible look while taking a flight next to Stan Winston.
>Gaiger
Kill yourself.
>>64664820
Man Cameron is based as fuck.
What is his next movie? I have been out of the loop.
>>64664192
Im no fan of Avatar, but that was based as hell. He didnt even ask for the money back. He just gave it to Guillermo. How fucking nice is that?
It really would not surprise me if Jim helped GDT behind the scenes on some of his bigger projects.
>>64665899
Cameron I n-need money for my robot movie
>>64662569
I loved this movie.
>the bathtub scene
>the scene wherethe girl asks the fairies what they want, and the head-fairy jumps in her face and screams 'YOU'
>>64663568
This is another cool new monster movie.
>>64660321
Them! is a personal favorite, as is The Monolith Monsters, The Magnetic Monster, It Came From Beneath The Sea, Kronos, and Five Million Years to Earth (a.k.a. Quatermass And The Pit)
>>64666549
Oh, and the 50s Thing movie (The Thing From Another World).

>The Fly
Body Horror Incarnate.
I was too young to watch The Fly when it came out, had nightmares for weeks. Re-watched it a couple years ago; turns out I'm still too young to watch The Fly. God in heavens it's not only a brilliant horror or monster movie, it's a brilliant movie Period. Great drama, some humor, some action, some science fiction, you end up feeling sad for one of the most horrible creatures ever described, it's got it all.
>I'm an insect who dreamed he was a man and loved it... but now the dream is over, and the insect is awake. I will hurt you if you stay.
>>64668565
Yeah, its a very sad movie and does really touch your heartstrings.
Few horror movies does that.
The original fly was okay as well.
>>64653475
Can anyone help me identify this monster movie from my childhood? The details are kind of blurry but the plot was basically it was about this guy and his kid that go to an island research lab with this bitch whos doing experiments on sharks and eventually the shark gets turned into a shark monster thing that can walk on land. Please anyone know what I'm talking about?
>>64669979

>Pictures dont give credit to what Gaiger had in his sick head
He has a painting that is literally a wall of dicks fucking pussies.
>>64670254
That would be cool too, it reminds me of a Goosebumps episode about some kids in an island full of giant animals.
>>64670053
Thank you anon.
>>64663390
I always loved Krocodylus. It used to be on around midnight because of all the nudity/sex scenes.
>>64669979
>shark monster thing that can walk on land
Sounds terrifying.
