It

I agree to some extent, but I swear the kinda horror that you do NOT see, is where the magic happens.

Where they suggest something terrible and your imagination plays with your senses.

Nothing beats 'The shining', the scene that gets me is when the little boys is playing with his toy cars down a long corridor, the music shifts, and a ball out of nowhere rolls toward him.

 

It just looks fake as hell. It's the same grey-ish desaturated-ish boring cinematography in every scene, in every setting, outside, inside, sun, rain...

 

I saw the movie last movie last Sunday, and all I gotta say... it was great. I found this new film a lot more better than the original.

Here's why I said that, and let's face it. The original was pretty much cheesy and a total
lackluster. Everything was regular for me. Don't get me wrong, I respect Tim Curry's work, he did a good job. But the old one was simply rushed. I don't hate it though, I just found it "meh".

The new movie, however, did more justice. It stuck more to the novel, longer storyline, better acting, better effects. Although, I admit that there were some mistakes in the movie.

Those are just my thoughts.

 

I saw this one then went back and watched the older one. Once again, props to curry but the new one is better. It made effective use of camera angles (wide angle shots to simulate when a character is being watched... which is basically all the time) and i really liked how the child actors didn't suck (compare to say... star wars episode one.) I'm not really into scary movies but it had pretty compelling characters, which was really built into its dna by King.

Honesty this made me sad they already fucked up the Dark tower. How cool would a Steven king cinematic universe have been?

 

Most attractive man I've ever seen.

Are you kidding me? The cinematography in this movie was f***ing gorgeous, especially in all the daylight exteriors.

Clearly we saw a different movie, because the one I saw had colors popping all over the place.

 

That or the comment about CGI. The CGI in the movie was actually pretty damn good, and I didn't feel like it was overdone.

And I thought it was scary as hell. The scene in the basement of the library freaked me out ... and obviously the "you'll float too" scene with Georgie in the basement of the house.

But I still don't think a clown will ever scare me as much as that f***ing doll from the original Poltergeist.

 

Bro how did you even find this thread? This was way long ago lol

 

I haven’t seen it. Personally I find the majority of horror films down right terrible. Horror movies lack plot and good diolague. With the exception of Silent Hill and the first three Saw films every horror film I’ve ever watched left me with a deep sense of “dear god what a terrible fucking movie”. I do plan on watching the IT reboot though. Mostly because I’m a big Dark Tower fan and everything written by Stephen King is tied to that series. I’m hoping to see some Dark Tower easter eggs.

 

Lol

@Castielle I hope you realise 60% of this thread is Tweeby talking to you with his 2nd (and 3rd lol) fake accounts.

Just wanted to mention that because...

... is quite creepy.
