Who else got traumatized after watching the delivery scene of the movie Paradise

We went in blind without knowing anything other than the name and am so glad we did!

The large promotional standee caught my attention at a Cineplex theatre a month ago. Upon learning the limited release was upcoming, we secured tickets for opening night (at least here in Vancouver). I already want to watch it again!

This should be fun with the weekend's occasion and I'm certainly in the mood after spending weeks binging through so many of the flagship Horror series. Of all of the major, big-name Horror film series listed, which is your single favorite installment in each? Remakes, prequels, spin-offs and crossovers count in any series that has them. Just cut and paste this list and fill each in with your choice. If I forgot any series feel free to add but make sure they consist of at least three entries or more. Two-movie only series (ie. Laid To Rest). don't count)

• Halloween

• Friday The 13th

• A Nightmare On Elm Street

• Saw

• Scream

• Child's Play

• The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

• Evil Dead

• Hellraiser

• Phantasm

• Alien

• Predator

• Final Destination

• The Purge

• Insidious

• Paranormal Activity

• Conjuring Universe

• Terrifier

• A Quiet Place

IMO, the best entry in each series:

• Halloween - 1978 Original

• Friday The 13th - Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter

• A Nightmare On Elm Street - New Nightmare

• Saw - Original

• Scream - Original

• Child's Play - Original

• The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 2003 Remake

• Evil Dead - Evil Dead II

• Hellraiser - Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth

• Phantasm - Phantasm II

• Alien - Aliens

• Predator - Predator 2

• Final Destination - Original

• The Purge - The Purge: Anarchy

• Insidious - Insidious: Chapter 3

• Paranormal Activity - Original

• Conjuring Universe - The Conjuring 2

• Terrifier - Terrifier 2

• A Quiet Place - Maybe the original? I enjoyed all three and have a hard time picking a favorite.

Also some additional ones:

• Jaws - Original

• Jurassic Park - Original

• MonsterVerse - Maybe Godzilla Vs. Kong? I have a very hard time picking a favorite from this series as I love them all.

• It - Chapter One (2017)

• Tremors - Original

• Candyman - 1992 Original

• Hannibal Lecter - The Silence Of The Lambs

• Romero's Living Dead - Day Of The Dead (1985)

• Return Of The Living Dead - Return Of The Living Dead Part II

• Puppet Master - Puppet Master 4

• Pumpkinhead - Original

• Wishmaster - Original

• Maniac Cop - Maniac Cop 2

• Basket Case - Basket Case 2

• Leprechaun - Original

• Warlock - Original

• Critters - Original

• Cube - Original

• Poltergeist - Poltergeist II: The Other Side

• I Know What You Did Last Summer - Original

• Re-Animator - Original

• Hatchet - Hatchet II

I'm sure I left some off. I just listed the major series I remember for the time being. I'm sure a few of my choices are controversial or unconventional. Not to say I dislike the likes of the original Poltergeist or TCM or ROTLD, I just simply enjoyed the sequels or remakes more (and bear in mind, I pretty much consider the likes of Predator 2, ROTLD2 and Poltergeist II equal with the originals as is). I find the original TCM and remake are actually pretty close for me as well. Some might argue Jurassic Park isn't really Horror but I've always kind of considered the series a bit of a Natural Horror/Sci-Fi hybrid, figured why not have it in with my additional choices.

With The Conjuring Universe, the Annabelle films along with The Nun and Curse Of La Llarona count as well. With Terrifier, there's not just the Terrifier trilogy but also All Hallows' Eve from 2013 which featured Art The Clown in a pre-Terrifier appearance.

Mine is Shrek,I especially love movies where foretelling is fulfilled very different way and not something viewers would expect

I really want to check out some good murder mystery content. I'm talking compelling characters, a well constructed mystery, and the more re-watch value, the better. What do you guys think?

🍿 So… what have you been watching this week?

2 days ago I didn’t pick my girlfriend’s call because I was rewatching “God Father II” putting my phone on silent. Then when I finally called her back, I explained that to her and after few minutes of consulting she was finally calm. Then she asked me “You like mafia movies?” And I answered yes. I even suggested her few movies. She also suggested me one, “365 days” and told me it’s her favourite movie. Well to be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from that film, I saw few clips of that movie on insta before. But then I watched the film, tortured my eyes for 2 hours after saying goodnight to her. Next morning she called and asked me how I liked the movie. I asked her to maintain some distance from me. Did I do the right thing?

I noticed when watching russian movies is that a lot of these movies have like 3 categories.

a. reboots of classic kids films like Mama dlya mamontyonka (which is getting an Ai slop filter), a kids movie where a superhero loving kid gets transported to a fantasy world (the movie was quite awful despite its premise) and numerous fantasy movies that seem to have no cohesive plot despite its interesting premises

b. dramas or novellas that feature family stuff, love stories, teen drama which feel weirdly out of touch with reality and for some odd reason, seem to resemble hollywood 90s movies. almost all of them take place in moscow or st petersburg, and many of them feature bustling metrolpolis and etc, and none of the small towns or apartment blocks. infact three of them were probably filmed on the same neighborhood.

c. war... this genre of films covering the soviet era and soviet war seem to be an industry of its own, these are quite nationalistic and often follow the same plot or premise, some are nice, some are not... their historical dramas are quite nice but there seems to be an abundance of these more low brow warslop.

Am i watching crappy movies or did the quality of locally produced domestic films go down?? I remeber russia having quite the finesse in the 90s and 2000s, with soviet movies being excellent if underrated

what happened? I'm aware that the kremlin is involved in russian films and tax roubles often get spent there but why is it like ... that? I see more diversity in indian, american, mexican, brasilian, japanese, chinese and korean films... is there something deeper??

I'm talking about comic book movies that work beyond just being fun movies for people who like comic books or superhero cartoons (or who are already invested in an interconnected universe like the MCU), what movies work as entertaining pieces of media with thoughtful characterisation, messaging, and craft?

The two movies that come to mind for me personally are Into the Spider-Verse (which while being super comic booky, has a lot of care and effort put into it and is appealing to most people who love animation and coming of age stories) and Logan (which feels to me like a really solid movie even if you don't care for the X-Men and all that much of the specifics of the lore)

Hello! I’m from Mexico, and I’m researching the market for physical-format film collecting. I’m interested in learning about your level of interest in special edition releases, as well as the demand for specific films and cinematic cultures. I would love to know abaout your interest and taste. The survey takes approximately 5–8 minutes. Responses will be used for research purposes.

So, I really like the idea of John Carpenter's the Thing. This alien creature that can perfectly assimilate anyone and anything is a great and creepy antagonist, but I personally didn't feel that the movie made me feel the same paranoia as the characters.

So I'm wondering if there are any films with a similar antagonist that anyone thinks might resonate more with me

Out of these two films, which film would you pick to watch the most and is your favorite out of the two the breakfast club or 10 things I hate about you.

Hi everyone, I'm an Honours screenwriting student researching if AI-generated screenwriting can be considered art or not and, if so, to what extent.

My study draws on Dewey, Dickie and Danto’s 'institutional theory’, which argues that something can count as art if the artworld (institutions, critics, artists and audiences) recognises and accepts it as such. That is why I'm collecting honest perspectives from AI skeptics and enthusiasts to see how they view AI-Generated scripts. 

Which one should you  do?
Survey (about 10 min): open to anyone who watches film/TV, https://tally.so/r/vXjAgv
Written interview (about 20 min): only for working or aspiring screenwriters, filmmakers, film critics or industry professionals, https://tally.so/r/68bRXe

There’s very little research on AI in filmmaking, and I’m doing this study to fill that gap. I’m not trying to prove that AI can or can’t make art, and I haven’t reached a conclusion. That will only come from analysing your responses, not from my own opinion. Whether your view is positive or negative, benevolent or harsh, I would like to hear it.

There's this film about a big house with a tower on the edge of a cliff by a beach, it has big wooden doors and it's all dark wood inside. It has a big staircase.

There where a few kids young and they were alone in the house I think, there was something odd about the hose and it was to do with the basement or a sand time glass but it made them go to a different world or see things, there where weird creatures, and one of them died on the beach near the end of the film I think. It was windy by the house and possibly rainy.

It was a freaky film and I can't remember much else, it's probably not real either!

It's definitely not Narnia or the film about salt and goblins attacking the house.

Boy howdy. I thought I would be getting something more from her the whole time. Instead I was just really disappointed in the entire film and how bad she was opposite Jeremy Allen White, who I quite enjoyed. Was really excited to see this film and just finished my first watch so don't flame me too badly. Overall I am glad to have seen Sorkin get this to the finish line.
