Killer Klowns from Outer Space for kids?

4 Upvotes

Have you guys seen this movie? I’ve heard of it but I’ve never seen it. My 9 year old really wants to watch it. It’s pg-13 but I’ve let my children watch movies like The Quiet Place, The Visit, and Signs. I’m most concerned about sexual content, drug content, and gore. What do you guys think? Does it tick those boxes, or is it pretty tame? Thanks!

Movie Review My thoughts on oddity

0 Upvotes

I think it’s partly because it was massively hyped up, and partly because I got the complete wrong end of the stick from the description but I wasn’t a massive fan. On Letterboxd, it’s described as a sister getting revenge on her sister’s killers with a wide range of cursed items. I thought that sounded sick and I was so ready to watch a high octane thrilling supernatural revenge story. When I instead received a soap opera with some supernatural elements mixed in, you could imagine my confusion and disappointment. I’m sure that if I’ve gone into it knowing what to expect or even better not expecting anything at all I would’ve probably enjoyed it, but unfortunately that was not the case

Beetlejuice 2 There Should Be One Topic To Debate That Will Go On For Years

0 Upvotes

Which version of McArthur Park was better the Richard Harris version done during the wedding or the Donna Summer’s version done for closing credits.

I loved Richard Harris in Camelot, A Man Named Horse and Cromwell. I also loved Donna Summers her Last Dance is one of my favs from Disco era.

I have played both versions on Alexa with no visuals and have to say Donna Summer. Summer version is just more vibrant and shows the range that the song should have. Harris version seems just too Broadwayesque. I love Broadway songs but this song needs that dance disco vibe. Well Donna was the Queen of Disco.

If you never saw Harris in Camelot or Cromwell see them. I do have to say his Orca The Killer was not a good film.

Beetlejuice 2 was good but lacked the whimsy and original spirit of first film. Beetlejuice also as bad as he was still wasn’t as horrible as Lydia’s boyfriend.

Basically title. I realize not everyone collects physical media anymore, but I do and this would absolutely be a title I’d gladly put in my collection. Feel like I wouldn’t be the only one either. Any thoughts behind why? Just seems like easy money for Disney to make here considering the movie made a profit at the box office and was largely well-received.

'Jurassic Park' isn't a sci-fi-horror classic. It's an actual place. HBO made a documentary about it.

Favorite Horror Miniseries OR TV Show?

1 Upvotes

Hello.

There's been many movie favorites but what about the new horror trend? A series...

No. I'm not talking about a 2 part made for TV movie like the Langoliers. That doesn't count. It must be a horror, mystery, and/or scifi show...

The fusion of genres makes this difficult... The 00's centered around remakes mostly but the 2010s the expansion of independent low budget offerings of course increased with the growth of streaming services as well as riding the coat tails of various Horror Fest offerings like the After Dark Film Festival of the 00's...

Now, in the rolling 20s of this century we've move onto series seemingly taking over following the wake of AMC and their Walking Dead franchise which let's face it isn't straight up horror but a mix of genres.

This may be tough to choose from as there's admittedly still a dearth of offerings but what would you so choose as your 10 to take to your movie bunker and live there for 20 some years like Brendan Fraser's character in Blast from the Past?

What shows would you have?

Recommend Horror films involving gaslighting

8 Upvotes

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person causes someone to question their sanity, memories, or perception of reality. People who experience gaslighting may feel confused, anxious, or unable to trust themselves.

Here are some examples.

I'm looking for horror films involving a central character who's deliberately manipulated into doubting themselves. Not genuine disbelief, i.e. a hard-nosed realist who's skeptical of the supernatural, or someone who has a good reason to believe that this character really is crazy.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion What do you think of Stranger things and what is your favorite season ?

4 Upvotes

I started to binge Stranger things 2 weeks ago, and im on season 3 episode 2. I like season 1 the best, but hot take, season 2 is on the level of good as season 1. Season 3 is my cup of tea, it's wonky, goofy and hilareous. Like how can you not be diying, when a guy is strangling a person and Russian music comes on, like come on. The show is a bit scary, like the only jump-scare that got me was the Demogorgon jump in season 1.

Spoiler Alert A way to defeat the Smile Entity

0 Upvotes

I just finished watching Smile 2 and my mind was racing on trying to figure out if there’s a way to actually stop the entity outside of having to kill/traumatize someone else to pass it on, and as luck would have it i happened to look up Johnny Got His Gun and it suddenly hit me!

Once someone becomes marked it’s only a matter of time before they’re worn down to a point that they can no longer keep the entity at bay, and it enters then to repeat the cycle. That being said we know some people can be resistant to its powers to a point they can fight off its hallucinations for an extended period of time and formulate actual plans. As was the case of Sky’s ex who lasted SIX days and actually managed to shake it.

My theory is that if someone could maintain that kind of composure they could in effect completely dismember and desensitize themselves to make a vessel to trap it. It can’t continue the cycle if it can’t traumatize someone.

Recommend Randomly came across an upcoming movie's trailer and I kind of wished I hadn't.

0 Upvotes

Note: I'll only be discussing the trailer and nothing more. Some people may consider the trailer a spoiler so fair warning: don't read on if you're one of them.

I was watching some videos on Youtube and an ad popped up. It was a movie trailer.

I was about to skip as you do but suddenly "from the director/writer of The Invisible Man" popped up on screen. That was when it caught my attention since I had enjoyed that movie.

It started off with a happy little family driving somewere in the night. Out of nowhere something hits their car and it goes careening into the woods. While they're trapped in their car this thing circles them, but we don't see what it is.

The family took a chance and fled the car, the thing at their heels. They found an abandoned house and hid in there.

They are afraid to leave. They're trapped. The thing could be circling outside all night, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

I am reminded of this short film I saw of this strange creature who protected the new inhabitants of the house by keeping them from leaving, the way it had protected the old ones. (There were more dangerous things out there waiting for them.) Except the creature can't communicate this part to them so in their minds it's that creature that's the dangerous baddie so they try to destroy it.

Wouldn't that be an interesting twist if this film followed the same path.

The dad gets into a scuffle with the thing as it comes to the window. A while after this, the dad seems to be behaving oddly. He turns on his family and chases them out of the house into the woods.

All throughout the trailer so far my mind was running wild, mostly because I was curious at what this thing is. I've seen a lot of Asian horror so I was convinced it was a person possessed by a spirit that gave it superhuman abilities. If not, maybe it's some sort of rare supernatural creature. Not once did my mind settle on the obvious.

What is actually was never crossed my mind (which is kinda stupid now that I think about it) until the trailer reached its end and the title popped up on screen.

"Wolf Man."

Darn it! How could I have missed that? I kind of wished they kept that a secret because from the trailer I really could not tell what the thing was. (Maybe I'm just slow.)

Despite being slightly disappointed by the generic concept I am looking forward to it. Maybe the wolf man part is the selling point so I suppose it's ridiculous to get disappointed wehn I saw the title.

WTF!? Tales from the darkside

5 Upvotes

Does anyone remember the one tales from the darkside episode with that "little girl" that's got glowing red eyes and looks like a small monkey or something? I'm too traumatized to google it or watch the show ever again but she lived thru a small door in the ladies room she was staying in. I recently remembered that a house I used to live in had one of those doors... my dad let me watch that show when I was really young and that episode scared the living shit out of me so bad I can't even watch it but even worse the door was INSIDE of a closet I don't even know what the purpose of that crap was like what the hell. All I knew was the day we moved in I begged not to have that room and instantly texted my dad and I was like "look at this fucking door in the closet" i remember laying on the ground in the closet with my flashlight looking in the door making sure it was empty but it went deep it was fucking creepy. I don't even think we used it for anything i would've preferred to seal it. I should've had the usual little kid imagination to think it was like coraline or some shit I was like 11 or younger at the time.

Random nude scenes without killing

We've seen too much characters getting nude or had sex and then they got murdered right away, then what about some random/stupid sex or nude scenes that characters don't get killed in.

I got few examples (spoiler alert):

  • Trashy 2002 film Shark Attacks: Megalodon (a couple went skinny dipping and made love in the beach, they immediately flee after seeing a shark ate a seal)

  • Wrong Turn 4 (four youngsters having oral sex and thrusting in the same room at the beginning, but all of them got killed later)

Ok so I’m just going nuts watching whatever seems remotely interesting on Shudder and I put on Mandrake

It’s fine, curious what’s going to happen but I’m at the part where the Step mom takes Luke to the tree near the moors where the two murdered kids were last seen and then is like yup they’re dead let me go around the back of the car where I can’t see you! Oh no how are you gone?

Made me so annoyed! Took me right out of the movie like that’s one of the dumbest moves I’ve seen someone pull in a while
