David Kelly 1117 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Obviously my opinion about Blair Witch is about as popular as my opinion of ET and Home Alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I never liked Blair Witch at the time. But it was well hyped before I saw it. Did wonder if it could be effective once I had bairns to tell it was a documentary so they could see it without the hype and i could see whether it worked on them.

NJS 3980 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Agreed. Carpenter made such good films back then.I watched most of Prince of darkness the other night - really enjoyed it and I still find the hand reaching out to Satan through the mirror really disturbing for some reason.

The Fish 8989 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Dr Strange: Trippy, Superhero origin movie, some good performances and sets up nicely for Drimblesnatch's future in the Marvel cinematic universe, but suffers with a fairly average antagonist and a pretty by the numbers Origin plot. Definitely one to watch in 3D on a big screen though. The visuals are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26847 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Blair Witch Project. I'd never got round to watching it before and I can see why now. Pile of shite. An hour and twenty of three people arguing with each other with no build up of fear and no scares at all. If it wasn't for the different (at the time) way in which it was filmed, I can't imagine anyone would have ever watched it.I never got around to watching it either as I suspected it would be a steaming pile of shit. Thanks for the confirmation, DK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26847 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I thought it was class at the time. Disagree its not suspenseful, novel camera work, decent acting, good ending imo. Possibly lost its impact in this desensitized age like. But a metascore of 81% suggests you're being harsh.I never got around to watching it as I suspected it would be a steaming pile of shit. Thanks for the confirmation, Rents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17784 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Oh right, so me, half of toontastic, and 81% of reviewers are wrong then? Thinking about it, I doubt BWP would work well nowadays without the right environment (as has been pointed out) but was definitely a truly innovative film paving the way for the like paranormal, cloverfield etc. It's made me think though, when was the last decent horror film released? Is the genre dead? Has it been replaced by all those films featuring men in tights that Fish and DK love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) I'd say about 80% of TT are wrong about everything not just films.

I don't mind a comic book film but there's only a couple I think are really good. I generally find that there aren't many good horrors like so I don't often watch them.

Dr Gloom 19826 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Was feeling like watching a a horror last night so tried Netflix. Managed about half an hour of Jeepers Creepers - absolute turd. Then tried Would you Rather? which was also comically bad but at least held my attention. I'm not sure it should even be down under the horror genre. Edited October 30, 2016 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Horror films need an extra dimension to work for me. Either the black comedy route or the jeopardy has to be unfathomable. As formulaic goes horror is the worst genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
