That movie sucked. They wrote a concept but forgot to write the rest of the script and tried to fill in the gaps with long scenes of nothing. When it came time to film the ending they didn't have one so they just gave up and sent the film off to the production company.

It's good but /tv/ acts like this, The Witch and The Babadook are the only good modern horror movies that exist
>>69840454
The ending is the worst part
>>69840923
explain
The praise for "It Follows" is baffling until you realize what's really being said.
It's not "good", it's "good for that genre", which his a genre widely regarded to be so shitty it isn't worth watching in any case.
This is what you guys mean when you praise "It Follows" and "Babadook". These movies are playing with a handicap. And handicapped they surely are.
>>69841092
Cut the poetry bullshit and actually write a real critique, shithead.
this movie sucks and I bet your GAY
It's pretty good.
I have a feeling that a lot of the complaints about this movie comes from frustrated virgins who have a beef seeing teenagers having sex.
>>69841793
It's just meme shills trying to make people forget there's anything to talk about on /vp/ besides capeshit
This movie's biggest flaw is that there are too many rules established. It can't open doors, but it can smash windows and climb through them. It's invisible, but people who are unaffected can still physically touch it.
Also, why the fuck did they try to electrocute it by throwing a toaster in a pool?
Well has there been any decent horror movies released lately if these are shit?
The Witch was great
>>69841953
>It can't open doors, but it can smash windows and climb through them.

>>69841092
It Follows isn't good for its genre either. It's just that modern horror is populated with terrible shit, so anything with a pulse is praised as ground breaking.
>>69841980
Nope. Horror has two modes now: mainstream jump scare crap, and indiewood hipster horror. Both are fucking awful, but the latter is often mistaken for good.

>>69841092
It is most certainly not "good for the genre." Sure horror has a some garbage within it, but I don't think it's fair to put the genre down because of it.
>>69841953
>too many rules established
I agree this is a huge problem. When you give the viewer the rules, and you didn't think out your idea, the majority of your audience is going to find many different ways around your monster. There were a myriad choices they had, but they come up with a convoluted plot to kill it in the pool.
I've watched a good amount of American horror and I need one of two things to really pull me in.
1. A "bad" guy to root for and rack up kills. Someone I genuinely want to survive until the end. (Jason, Freddy, Lep, Pennywise, Henry)
2. A "good" character with either strong morals OR a real understanding of their situation and they act accordingly (Most of the Day of the Dead cast)
Things get really interesting when a movie has both of these, and I don't know who to root for. (Devil's Rejects)
"It Follows" gives me absolutely nothing I want out of horror. It gives me a cast who make it impossible to suspend disbelief (like Micah from Paranormal Activity). It gives me a lame, slow moving, castrated monster with no real power other than persistence. It makes the lead girl completely unlikable because she gives in to the curse, and tries to pass it along by being a slut. It takes away what could have been a satisfying kill and conclusion (the monster who had to walk through Detroit to get into an indoor pool, turn into the girl's father, and fuck her to death underwater, but instead they ruin the plan, shoot the monster, and run). The geeky childhood friend "wins" in the end because he gets to be with the now extremely used goods girl. I didn't like a thing about it.

The Shining comes close but it doesn't have much scares.
>>69843216

You can see at the end of the film they're literally emotionally void. The girl is uncomfortable holding his hand, and it only lasts a few minutes before the ending, and It is still following them.

>>69843216
Its much much deeper than that actually.
Its about the loss of innocence, after sex. The idea of growing up and accepting mortality. The false idea of great casual sex with Chad, but instead building a relationship. Its also about pregnancy and babies.
Youre just too plebby to understand the major themes.

Talk about anything on this board outside of the horror thread with actual horror fans in it is plain exhausting. Nothing gets done. No fun. No interesting discussion. Back and forth name calling. Is that worth your time? Whether or not you're a virgin doesn't matter, but to spend your own time calling other virgins, thinking it's an insult, is not attractive behavior. If your goal is intercourse with attractive people, posting in this thread isn't helping.

>>69840904
The Witch is a weak 6/10.
Babadook is a 5/10. Potential was there to be a lot better.
It Follows is one of the worst wide release horror films I've seen since The Strangers.
It's an instant pleb filter.
>>69842319
None of what you said was criticism at all, you mainly just used bullet points and personal preferences.
"No real power.." it's a nigh-unkillable doppelganger who's invisible to everyone besides the target. That's scary as fuck.
The main character isn't unlikable for trying to save her own life, she's a fucking teenage girl and scared out of her mind, so thinking illogically in a self-serving way is understandable. I'm not sure how the word "slut" is a criticism here since in the film since sex and youth are a huge part of the narrative.
Also having an ambiguous, or "unsatisfying," ending is not an applicable detraction in and of itself, I'm not sure where you were going with that. Or ANY of that really, because apparently if you had it your way horror movies would operate within a predefined set of rules in order to appease those like yourself.

it's actually one of my fondest memories. he's still alive causing trouble in the "old people's flat's" he lives in
>>69841980
From last year, The Boy.
>>69842319
The monster or its rules don't matter as much as long as the movie instill the type of emotions its trying to upon the watcher
i completely agree that the pool scene was completely retarded. im sure the writer director or whoever could have done a better job of getting to the point that there is no way to ultimately stop the monster.
Despite that there were plenty of scenes in It Follows that got me very unnerved and it was that in almost every shot where the group was in public there was someone in the bacjground walking straight towards the camera. The camera never does anything to bring it to attention, but if you look outside of whats happening during their conversations you can see someone that looks strangly like its walkong straight at whats her face.
>>69843458
As for horror films.
The witch was a 5 at the very best.
Babadook was a solid 6.5.
It Follows is a solid 7 for horror.

>>69843373
Just remember that the point of horror is a lack of control. Competent characters are fun, but you have to make sure that their competence is only a delay for their inevitable fate. In fact, the more competent they are, the more frightening it will be, because it seems so impossible to escape.
![Resolution_film[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/mPAfZPJ.jpg "Resolution_film[1].jpg")
I recommend Resolution, hardly ever see it mentioned.
It's about a guy who finds his wacky ice junkie friend squatting in an abandoned house in the woods so he tricks him and chains him to the wall for a week. Things get weird from there.
It's got a great sense of atmosphere and does a good job of slowly feeding you details that something is not right. Check it out people.

>>69843538

It was a 1/10 as a movie.
It barely even works as a horror film.
The Babadook I'm mixed on because I think it had huge flaws that offset a lot of the good stuff about it, hence the 5.
The Witch I bumped to 6 because it was so well made.
I saw The Boy not long ago. That was a strong 6/10 for me. Not sure why no one likes it.

None of that is deep or even all that interesting. Maybe if they had written compelling characters to convey it.
What annoys about hipster horror is that it's too self aware of its themes and its rule bending. Horror resonates strongly in imagery. It's seldom intellectual.

If you're into werewolf movies, check out Late Phases.
It's about a blind Vietnam vet who moves to a retirement village, but as you can guess, it turns out there's a local werewolf problem. It's pretty good, nothing too amazing but a solid and enjoyable watch.It also has the worst creature effects of all time, but don't let that stop you.

You gotta be trolling. The witch is literally a historical drama with no actual horror ever taking place. Ironic, because you are rating real horror films as not being horror.

>>69843787
I might be wrong here, but it's my opinion that if the heroes feel like and are capable of dealing with the problem it moves out of horror and into action/adventure, even if it's gory.
I don't know what the general consensus on Cabin in the Woods is, but I think it does a good job of giving you competent protagonists who still feel like they're severely outmatched. Even when they gain a sort of control of the situation, they're left with no real outs. It's kind of tough to think of other good examples off the top of my head. Inevitability is more of an actual theme in Jap stuff than American.

I'm really glad people are taking those reviewer's dicks out of their mouths and realizing this was a shit film.
It wasn't new
It wasn't deep
It wasn't true horror
It was pretentious shit.

Still waiting for you to list a good horror movie and not just parrot your bandwagon meme opinions.
>>69844048
Big war between russia and finland in the 1500s finally ends in a truce, small group of russians and a finnish warrior and his brother have to draw the new borders as part of the truce. They find a village that isn't on any map and shit goes down, it's just like a constant sense of dread with the final 5 minutes or so being a pretty good climax. Not exactly your typical horror though, interesting setting and beautifully shot, really reminds me of Stalker for some reason.
>>69844306
oh fuck I'm blind
yeah, it should be at the top
>>69843474
>personal preferences.
That's what movies are. That's what everything is. It's all subjective. If you want to argue that art is objective, then I've got nothing to say because that's not my belief.
>"No real power.." it's a nigh-unkillable doppelganger who's invisible to everyone besides the target. That's scary as fuck.
It's not scary. I'm not putting on a macho front, either. "Night of the Demons" scared me, I watched it in my early 20s. Same with "Blair Witch Project" and the "The Exorcist". I'm not beyond being frightened, but nothing in It Follows did it for me. We knew far too much about the monster, and seen it far too many times. It's been said over and over, but one of the things that made Jaws work so well was how little we saw the shark. The more exposure there is to something, the more used to it you are. In theory, the monster you describe can be terrifying, but they did not pull it off.
>The main character isn't unlikable for trying to save her own life
To me, she is. Again, subjective/personal preferences, but that's how I think we should be looking at movies. I don't like the character one bit, so I'm going to dislike her even more in the main role. I recall one of the reasons they don't go to the police (AFTER learning this thing is physical, and all her friends witnessed it, and the monster did NOT care it was witnessed in invisible form by other via interacting with the physical world) was because her mom would get mad/wouldn't believe her. You've confirmed an entity is following you to at least 6 other people.
>Also having an ambiguous, or "unsatisfying," ending is not an applicable
Endings are very important. I love ambiguous endings. I loved Don't Blink for that reason. I love things being left unsolved. I love being left to think about what could have happened. I also love being shown the end bluntly too. There's nothing about "having my way". Simply, the more things I like about a movie, the more I like it.

Italian horror is so underexposed, all anyone talks about is Suspiria. Black Sunday, Evil Eye, Blood and Black Lace, City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, Deep Red, Bird with the Crystal Plumage.
it's not totally ignored but definitely underdiscussed.

Really enjoyed it. Quirky pic.
Spring was a letdown. Or at least the third act was.
>>69844825
It's a better production obviously. I mean, LHOTL is so crudely and cheaply made at parts it feels like a porno.
But it's nowhere near as affecting. I was actually kind of revulsed and disturbed by the original. The remake was just like a regular thriller. Nothing to recommend it unless you want to fap I guess.
>>69840340
This movie had 1 (ONE) scary scene, and that was when the tall guy walks into the room.
The rest wasn't scary at all.
What's with this trend of calling mildly entertaining films that aren't very scary "le best horror movie of the last decade?"
The Babadook tried too hard to be scary and fell flat, and The Witch wasn't scary at all. What the fuck /tv/
>>69845099
>works with what it's got
I see House of the Devil as doing this. It's "smooth" because they worked to mske it that way. You're Next just doesn't have any ambition beyond being an entertaining TV movie. It's kind of fun, but forgettable. Free with netflix/hulu/amazon prime.

Ti West is similar but occasionally you see some good stuff in his films.
>>69845265
No movies are scary. Only casuals who don't watch many movies actually get scared from them. These movies are good because of the unique atmosphere, not because of how many cliche generic "scary" scenes.it has.

Didn't see it that way. I saw a horror film that treated the characters with understanding without them losing their charm. And a movie that knew how to treat it's comedy without Laing it's self in being too over the top but not too sullen.
>>69845265
>The babadook fell flat
Babadook has shit tier third act but up until then it's pretty darn spooky and avoids some of the cancer that plagues modern horror like tension-fake scare-respite-real scare.
>>69845320
It's like a Charles Bronson Cannon film from the 80's.
Though it's produced more like a Blumhouse no budget flick than a slick J. Lee Thompson job.
A lot of fun for what it is given the current movie climate.

His stuff was mumlegore but YN elevated. The Guest was also great. Got high hopes for The Woods. Not sure what to think of Death Note.
I like To too. Early work was decent cheap shit that allowed him to work under small budgets and prepare him for his new classics. The Sacrement was bland though. And Cabin Fever 2 was awful but that not his choice. Looking forward to his western.
>>69845423
Green Inferno/Knock Knock and Tusk are graded on a sliding scale.
I think Green Inferno was great despite some fucking godawful stuff (like the entire opening of the film).
They're definitely fun to watch with friends. But kind of a chunky crude mess as films.

lmaoing @ ur life faggot. no one over age 12 is scared by movies you fucking literal child
>>69845346
>No movies are scary
i don't agree, but i agree with what you're saying with unique atmospheres. horror films are only scary when they spend time developing a. atmosphere and b. the characters. when you become emotionally invested in a character(s) then horror is generally more effective, it's too bad this is such an oversight most of the time and the characters end up as soulless archetypes that are just there to suffer
>>69845482
The Guest was pretty awful.
Nice idea, some good scenes and a good performance from the leads.
I don't fault him on that though because if he had the sort of budget the films he was paying homage to had in the 80's and 90's it would have been a really good film. You can tell that was one where they just didn't have the money to get the necessary scope for the picture.
>>69845361
So it had good writing? Okay, that's why I think it's suited for television. It's more focused on its writing than telling a compelling story visually. Its ambition lies within the realm of TV.
>>69845530
Your post literally makes no sense.
The Boy is lower budget than The Witch and It Follows. It has literally no jump scares and far less traditional or cheesy "horror" elements than either It Follows or The Witch. Especially compared to It Follows.
It Follows is way closer to The Conjuring and other spoopy teen orientated supernatural horror than The Boy, which is much closer to something like The Vanishing.

I don't understand why they ran with the fact that it changes appearance every time. They never fully exploit the fact that it could sneak up on you by taking the shape of someone you know. They could have made a cool scene out of it. Instead, every time it appears it's plainly obvious what it is to everyone involved.
>>69845899
The movie was literally like a bad /x/ copypasta made up on the fly.
There was no grounding to the monster or even the world they lived in. Whole place felt empty and unrealistic. Like you were watching some actors at a fashion shoot. The director has like zero ability to establish a realistic setting or at the very least a setting that lets you suspend disbelief.
It reminded me so much of the Nightmare On Elm Street remake.
>>69841953
Those rules aren't strict. It's merely rumours of how people think it works so the monster has leeway on bending some rulea. It's a cop out but it goes well with the teen sex theme. Teens tend to inform each other about sex through rumours.
And yeah, the toaster scene was pure shite.
>>69846086
>teens tend to inform themselves of sex through rumors
In the 1950's maybe.
I think horror as a genre has spawned some of the best movies and directors in cinematic history. Anyone who disagrees is looking too shallow at current movies.
I know this one doesn't seem that special at face value, but I remember the first time watching this with my family and having my first vivid appreciation for filmmaking as a whole. While the general concept isn't that interesting, the script, pacing, and even the soundtrack is really good. A very solid movie.

Personally I didn't like it. Normally I'm a big fan of the whole friendly dinner party gets weird real quick genre, but it wasn't done very well in this movie imo. Tom Hardy put in a solid performance, I think he could have been better but didn't have too much to work with.
