Grislygus I've never actually gotten around to watching any of the Candyman movies. But it's mostly grisly murders, right? I'd think it'd be in the slasher film category.
Nov 2nd, 2007 04:35 PM
J. Tithonus Pednaud Ha, that's spot on. Man, I just never could get into The Fog.
Hey, would Candyman be considered a ghost movie?
Nov 2nd, 2007 12:54 PM
Grislygus I like The Fog too, but not in a good way.


Seriously, the pirates were the LAZIEST motherfuckers I have ever seen in any horror movie. "Gee, we've waited five hundred years for vengeance on the entire town, but these people are the easiest to get, so whatever."

Fathom Zero The Fog!

Grislygus Unless, of course, said purists are avid fans of a semi-obscure, crappy filmmaker they just looked up on Wikipedia five seconds ago and now totally are just all about.

Good God man, I'm talking about the original here!

Guitar Woman Ju On and The Grudge are both terrible movies, how about that
Oct 30th, 2007 02:47 PM
noob3 grudge was better because ju-on put me to goddamn sleep. i like jap movies, sure. i've seen awful jap remakes, pulse comes to mind. but the grudge was better than ju-on. the whole way they handled the ghost chick, with the gurgling ect really freaked me out i remember my girlfriend was asleep and i was watching it on satellite & I had to wake her up because I was so scared. i can't even remember any of ju-on. but goddamn, the stair scene in the grudge was EXCELLENT.

they had the same director and everything, but the grudge had a way bigger budget. and it shows. removed jaws, sarah michelle gellar dyeing, the movie not putting me to sleep.. I would have liked Ju-On more if I saw it first. But The Grudge is better, in lots of ways. I can see people liking it if they are some sort of poor-movie purist, but I like my movies shiney.

IN CONCLUSION:

ju-on gets props for being the OG home-dawg, but in the end it is weeaboo jerkoff fodder for kids who can't appreciate the sleek, upgraded package that is THE GRUDGE

'His nose totally looks like a cock'

Ten minutes later

'I mean, look at it. It's a dick!'

Ten minutes later

I mean, have you ever seen that movie Nothing but Trouble? There is this Judge, Dan Akroyd, and he's got this prosthetic nose that looks like a giant dong. It was crafted, sculpted and cast to look like a dick. They probably even made more than one. Probably dozens...

They should have just hired that guy...

...or he should have went into porn...

Grislygus Wow, just looked up A Tale of Two Sisters. Freaky ass shit, definitely going on the Netflix queue.

Also, just watched The Haunting again, completely forgot about the awesome door-bulging sequence near the end.
Oct 29th, 2007 03:23 PM
MarioRPG I've heard of Phone, was it any good. I probably wont see it regardless...

J. Tithonus Pednaud Gay’ says the person with the pink, androgynous, cosplay-creature signature.

Seriously though, it was a remake that exists only to be spoon fed to western audiences. An Americanized version of a Japanese move, that still actually takes place in Japan. Pointless, much?

Why, in your opinion, was it better?
Oct 29th, 2007 10:59 AM
noob3 grudge was good as hell you are just acting too good for it but if you wern't acting all gay like that you could see that the grudge was actually much better
Oct 29th, 2007 09:35 AM
J. Tithonus Pednaud Grudge blew and was an entirely pointless remake. A Tale of Two Sisters was a pretty good South Korean movie. It's currently getting the American remake treatment for 2009.

I also like South Korean revenge movies like Old Boy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. I was living in Korea when those came out, as well as Phone. Or P-own, as my students would say.
Oct 29th, 2007 12:37 AM
noob3 ju-on sucked, the grudge rocked. like every jap horror film ever is about ghost :[ it's kind of silly

good korean ghost flick: PHONE
Oct 28th, 2007 09:31 PM
Guitar Woman I hate the Grudge
Oct 28th, 2007 08:52 PM
zeldasbiggestfan Uhh, Ghostbusters should count for this.
Oct 26th, 2007 06:26 PM
J. Tithonus Pednaud Ju-on was better... The Eye is another good Asian ghost flick.
Oct 26th, 2007 04:35 PM
Emu JU-ON

which is the grudge for japs
Oct 26th, 2007 04:01 PM
noob3 the mother fucking GRUDGE
Oct 26th, 2007 06:30 AM
Yggdrasill Not sure if Freddy Kruegar is a ghost but I like Silent Hill personally.
Oct 25th, 2007 11:46 AM
Grislygus Holy shit, that guy's busy. So let's see, that brings the count to three upcoming remakes that he's involved with?

J. Tithonus Pednaud The Changeling is a Canadian flick allegedly based on some events is Colorado. It is also slated for the remake treatment, produced by Del Toro.
