J.T. Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Wrong Turn needed re-imaging? Eli Roth's History of Horror on AMC+ is the best. I am done with S1 and am working through S2. It was produced by a lot of the people that made Horror Noire, so you will see a few of the guests and commentators in HoH that were in Horror Noire.

I was pleasantly surprised. He plays off the other commentators very well. The segment he has with Stephen King in the Vampires episode where they trash Twilight is particularly brutal and hilarious. Stephen King is such a grumpy old man. BACK IN MY DAY, NOSFERATU DIDN'T SPARKLE~!!! They are not big fans of the Our Vampires Are Different trope. Edited December 17, 2020 by J.T.

HumanChessgame Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 There are already like eight Wrong Turn sequels. I don't see why they didn't just make another instead of rebooting it. But any franchise that gets even the slightest bits of traction has to have at least three sequels, a prequel, a spinoff, then a reboot. Speaking of remakes of dubious necessity, I decided to watch the new Castle Freak the other night. A good number of plot points got changed around (including the trope of the victims consisting of a bunch of thoroughly unlikeable twentysomethings) and a lot more Lovecraft references get thrown, including a Herbert West cameo. It's pretty bad, but in the spirit of Full Moon, it's so bad it's almost entertaining. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Huh. I guess that's a "Fangoria original" with a Fabio Frizzi soundtrack. They worked with Band on the last Puppet Master so no wonder. The original was gross and depressing, but well made. Speaking of Fangoria originals I just found this: Edited December 17, 2020 by Curt McGirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I just noticed that Boar and VFW have uploaded to Shudder so I guess I should get off of my ass and watch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Paul W S Anderson is saying he wants to give Event Horizon the Snyder Cut treatment. Apparently the original cut was 130 minutes and far more extreme than the released version. But they stored all the removed footage in a Salt Mine or something.

Curt McGirt Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Yeah, I read about that what seems like ages ago. The salt mine part is weird. In any case if it gives him something better to do then make something like Monster Hunter then give him the damn print already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Jones style relic hunting meets horror? The push I need to get HBO Max (that and watching the Perry Mason reboot with my dad) has arrived.

Den of Geek had an excellent article on Event Horizon's lost footage. https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/exploring-the-deleted-footage-from-event-horizon/ Quote Sadly, he probably won’t get the chance to release a director’s cut, since the film came out prior to the rise in special edition DVDs. The unused footage was packaged off to a Transylvanian salt mine for storage, so when he came looking for the footage it was in such poor shape it was no longer usable. Anderson himself has recently reaffirmed this, seemingly dashing any hope of the lost footage re-emerging from a black hole, like the titular ship itself. Content from the deleted footage includes backstory about DJ's body scar, more instances of the evil force manifesting the fears of the crew, tons of gore, full body shots of Sam Neil's demonic form, and of course there was an extended version of the first crew's video log which had a lot more cannibalism and sex.

GojiColin Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I know Scream Factory had said they had reached out to some producers in Europe who claimed to have the footage; maybe its finally all coming together? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still two more Halloween reboots coming out and he's also been rumored to have been directing some of the episodes of the Hellraiser limited run series that Danny McBride wanted to produce for HBO. I think that project is now on hold since Clive got the rights back for that IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I watched Elves after hearing it discussed on Zac Amico's podcast. What a weird movie. Giving Anything For Jackson a go. Another weird one, but very interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
