just pointing out it's bad and very boring

>>384914583
Found footage is a shit genre for poor directors and BWP is partially responsible for its current popularity.

>>384921131

3 people arguing in the woods for most of the movie isn't scary. Rocks aren't scary. Sticks aren't scary. A tent being punched isn't scary. It's not scary nor is it even creepy. It has the same problem as August Underground - it's boring, the characters aren't likable, too much arguing and nothing happens.

The Haunting is somewhat similar to The Blair Witch Project. You never see any ghosts and it relies more on tension. Obviously, one is psychological and the other is found footage, but they're somewhat comparable because of their execution. The difference is that The Haunting characters are likable, it moves at a slightly faster pace and you actually see some scary things. Heather was supposed to pan the camera so we could see a monster, but the actress forgot and so we really see nothing. A horror movie in which you see nothing scary. Brilliant.

Overall, it's a product of its time. It started the trend of found footage. Wasn't the originator, of course. It did, however, originate a formula within the sub-genre. Nothing happens for the first hour other than some bumps in the night and false scares. Towards the end, the action picks up, gets tense and the movie suddenly ends. What a great legacy.

>>384914019
Isn't there some deep web game that's all in black and white with demons or some shit?
I don't remember the name but that shit seemed haunted.

>>384914327
This isn't bait. This is a prime example of people who so badly want to have an opinion on everything they parrot concepts they've read or heard from others and apply it where it seems like it could possibly make sense. In this case, they could not have been more wrong. BWP's popularity lies in its marketing, it mostly gets shit upon in review. It had 0 jump scares. It remains a favorite only among those with a deep interest in the genre.

So, you're looking for a video game that had:
>No budget
>Wildly successful marketing campaign to the point people thought it was real
>Deviated from the norms of its contemporaries
>Very effective in building tension
>Panned by those who wanted more of the same

>>384924419
I shouldn't have to explain what a norm is. BWP is what set off the found footage craze. Not to mention:
>The film is sometimes erroneously cited as an inspiration to The Blair Witch Project, but the concept for that film was developed in 1993 and production began in October 1997, five months before the premiere of The Last Broadcast.

Sadly, Slenderman really is the most accurate similary.

I was, for a moment, considering Five Nights at Freddy and Penumbra, as all three of them share similar "no budget, small team near amateurish production turning into a major success" story. But here is the difference: Five Nights at Freddy and Penumbra were not UTTER FUCKING TRASH. And I don't even like the bloody Five Nights at all - but it's still not nearly bad enough to carry any comparison to Blair Witch.

So Slenderman, even though as far as I know it never vent commercial in a big way, is most similar. Equally mindless, equally retarded, equally carried on the wings of gimmicks and young teenagers with their inexplicable fascination with really bad horror.

Seeing this thread and seeing people who defend Blair Witch: I seriously don't enjoy being a contrarian and I had watched it - on it's fucking release non the less.

I was fucking dissapointed back then and I'm completely dissapointed even today. It's garbage. Yeah, the found footage gimmick IS interesting.
The movie is awful. Bunch of insanely unlikable cunts walking in circles acting like insufferable cunts while nothing is happening and then the laughably forced and meaningless finale.

There is no tension, there is no functional symbolism, no actually terrifying thing happening. It's a bunch of INSANELY unlikeable people that wish would die as soon as possible acting as if something terrifying was happening.
But nothing is. It's not that the movie is not showing things - it's not leaving things to our imagination. It's not NOTHING. HAPPENING.

The movie was carried by gimmick and inexplicable fascination by children. Which is the same story than then made the phenomenons of Five Nights and Slenderman.

Except even the bloody five nights showed some kind of effort or idea.

>>384924068
Good post. it's a movie I really enjoyed because it played off the audience's fear of the unknown and not actually being able to see what was harassing them, together with the eldritch stuff the witch was capable off like sending them in a perpetual circle when they tried to escape the forest. To me stuff like that is way more harrowing than some meat mountain chasing you through an abandoned house with his chainsaw set to 100

Actually all of those things COULD be scary, if the movie had a single idea beyond the found footage gimmick and if the characters weren't so fucking abysmal. Both the premise and the formula actually has quite a lot of promise to it. It's just really amazingly badly made. The people who made it not only really did not know how to make a movie: The did not have a single actual scary idea. But the concept and all of the materials it uses are in theory great material.

>>384924424
I'm sorry, but right now you are literally defending what REALLY WAS the Slenderman of it's era. Like this was a CHILDREN AND DUMB YOUNG PEOPLE popular movie. Actual film critics and people above the age of 25 laughed at the movie at the time. It was a massive marketing ploy, but nobody actually ever though Blair Witch is ACTUALLY A GOOD MOVIE, OR GOOD FUCKING HORROR.

It's like people going around today trying to press fucking Halo games as "fine refined taste that the young people just don't get."

I'm pretty sure that people who like Tarkovski are going to fucking HATE BWP. So the problem is not just "nothing happening".

The problem is that it's vapid.

>>384918793
I personally hated The VVitch and It Follows. Babadook however, I really enjoyed, yet that's the one that receives the most shit. People don't like the possibility that their "monster" isn't "real". The movie is horror and it deals with loss, stress, and mental illness. However, because of those things, no one wants to say it's horror. They NEED a supernatural being who's killing people. It's unfortunate.

Since we're on horror movies to series companions, allow me to posit this:

Five Nights at Freddie's is just like SAW.

An excellent first installment that is a classic for the genre in its respective medium, and from that point forward, terrible cash in sequels for a quick buck that tore the whole series reputation down.

>>384916981

I do remember a fun very low budget horror called "Thaw", I vaguely remember not being offended by "The Others", but that is also seventeen years old. I really don't know much about newer stuff.

I agree with you. The first game did good tension, and had a lot of great little moments that were genuinely creepy like seeing Foxy run down the hallway or the panic when the door's not working. Good atmosphere, too.

Fastforward three years later and the story's an incoherent pile of retconned shit, while he slaps angry eyebrows on Freddy to make him look "scarier" and he admits that he tailor-made the sequels for reddit.

It's a shame that FNAF started off so well.

Not a fan. I like movies in this style though, just like the other 2 you listed. They're made like movies, not as "horror" movies specifically. That may be a bad way to phrase it.

>Alien
Enjoyed it. Didn't think it was too special, but it was worth the watch. Didn't feel too tense.

I love Kurt Russell. Body horror usually comes off more as "Cool!" than tense, though. A fan of this one.
>The Ring (I actually enjoyed the American version as much as the Japanese one).
Parts of it were interesting. The concept was cool, I just felt like nothing of note happened.
>Sixth Sense
Haven't gotten to it.

For my top three, I'd go: The Changeling, The Shining, Blair Witch Project. Rosemary would definitely make top 5. That said, there are a ton of amazing horror movies that don't make me tense or scare me at all.

I think if he had kept making horror sequels, I'd be softer on him. Elm Street and Friday the 13th for instance were fun franchises even in their fourth or fifth installments.

FNAF doesn't really have that cheesy fun factor, because he started making them for kids and removed the horror elements. It feels less like a cash cow and more like he sold his soul. The series is unrecognizable at this point.

The main game isn't much like it, but Cry of Fear has a roughly hour long section of it's 5-7 hour story that is heavily inspired by the Blair Witch.

>They're made like movies, not as "horror" movies specifically. That may be a bad way to phrase it.
That is actually really good way to phrase it, and probably sums up my problem with BWP. I don't enjoy horror genre - not in cinema and in particular at least. I enjoy good movies. I enjoy good stories, or good symbolism, or good structure. Something that has meaning. Every single one of the movies I listed - I'd argue - has a VERY STRONG POINT.
It works with some kind of theme. Or with a character. Or an object of symbolic weight.

What the hell does BWP have?
The character are really some of the most obnoxious people I've ever seen in a cinema. And for no reason: they are not well written, it's not a character study. They are just annoying. And what the fuck is the point of making them annoying?
They act completely illogically ONLY to create a secondary conflicts because there is literally nothing else to kill the runtime with: but all that achieves is to make you lose any remaining investment.

And then the horror elements come and... what the hell is the horror again?
People who don't act like people arguing over shit nobody would do or say in their situations, and then...

The movie basically goes "scary thing here: fill out yourself please, because we had no idea".
Rosemary manages to create absolute terror out of sunny bright day downtown Manhattan.
This movie absolutely fails to create anything to actually feel scared about with bunch of people in a fog-covered bog.

It actually takes skill to make it as not scary as they did. They cheat with loud noises and spastic camera... but what is the object of fear?

Sorry. You sound like a reasonable person, so don't take any of this personally. I actually hate that movie. I find it so incredibly cheap and dishonest with the viewer that I can't think of many others that made me this annoyed.

Oculus is pretty damn good, excellent use of flashbacks. I wasn't a huge fan of It Follows, probably because I saw it after seeing some other movie that basically has the exact same plot. The Autopsy of Jane Doe is pretty good. Don't Breathe is a bit more suspense than horror but it's another good one.

Except The Thing was hated because of it's explicit use of gore, which did not sit well with puritan critics.

>>384928846

I'm not necessarily saying it's a bad movie. I think it's okay. I'm just saying not much happens and it's boring because of it. >>384928660 summed it up better than I did.

I used The Haunting as an example because neither show anything, but The Haunting is scarier. Blair Witch Project is a hollow film that only generated hype because of marketing and taking advantage of the newness of the internet. Back in 1999 it was good, sure, but not today. Paranormal Activity 4 has the same structure as Blair Witch and people hated it.

What is it with people in horror movies and just barging into houses and looking around like they own the place? Based on the last five decades of horror that shit is like a guaranteed death sentence.

>>384928312
>>384928843
Would also recommend Oculus. I watched it pretty much by accident, but I really liked it. The way the movie is technically made is pretty damn brilliant, and the further it goes, the better it gets.

>They act completely illogically ONLY to create a secondary conflicts because there is literally nothing else to kill the runtime with: but all that achieves is to make you lose any remaining investment.
Very fair point. This is what can absolutely kill movies that have other elements that I hate. In BWP, for whatever reason, I was able to overlook this. Mike didn't need to throw the map away. That was completely retarded.

In "It Follows", I hated the characters, I hated their attitudes, I hated their views, I hated their reactions. When they did something that didn't make sense given the situation, it just pissed me off. So I understand how someone who hated the characters in BWP would just hate the movie more as it goes on.

>>384918793
The only thing scary in It Follows is how fucking dumb everyone is.

>>384929607
My favorite scene in Oculus is the one with the apple, it did a really good job of not only having the characters not know what's going on but the viewer as well, it puts you in a state of confusion that makes the movie really suspenseful

>>384929858
The more I think about it, the more I realize that majority of BWP is just people talking. Which would be fine it if was a conversation-heavy drama, but that would require good characters.

But it has no plot. And that could work - IF the movie set up a good scene. Fucking Stalker barely has a plot, but it builds an amazing atmosphere through it's scene. You don't need to really care what is going on because it has a great visual and symbolic language that conveys some kind of idea.

BWP could have worked if it was build that way. But instead: it actually spends 90% of the making you look at people awkwardly standing or awkwardly talking about things that are both annoying and largely irrelevant to the actual theme of the movie, which is the dread of the place, and the "bad mojo" of the Witch.

And that, I think, just really does not work. The forest should have been the hero, since the characters can't be. But it isn't: it's boring. And the Witch feels almost like an after-though.

Sorry, I'm done now.

Anyway: I actually read about It Follows, but the premise really did not catch my attention. I did hear that it suffers a slightly similar issue to BWP in that it's a good gimmick (the idea that ANYONE might be the monster), but that there is like two scenes that actually take advantage of it, and most of the scenes completely waste it by making the monster always painfully obvious and easily identifiable in the crowd. Plus, the whole sexually transmitted demon in american promiscuous teen setup just does not particularly appeal to me.

The VVitch did look a lot more appealing. Though I worry about over-reliance on disgust-sensibilities. Except for The Thing, I actually don't like gore much - my favorite horrors actually manage to avoid it nearly completely. I'm not sure how much dependent on that VVitch is. I do know that it was what made Antichrist unenjoyable for me to watch, despite it's cinematic brilliance.

Is this bait or are you actually retarded?

>>384931073
>american promiscuous teen setup just does not particularly appeal to me
Promiscuity is the largest factor in me hating It Follows. I cannot related to people who don't value sex. I cannot feel sorry for people who have no issue fucking their neighbor in order to transfer the demon's attention to them. In that type of horror movie, I want those people dead. That's why Friday the 13th works very well for me. Jason is the hero. He's the main man. He's clearing out these vapid teenagers.

Plot wise, the worst thing about It Follows is that the monster can be defeated. Easily. It's not magic. It's all physical. They could have done so many different things to stop it OR prove its existent to the authorities. They choose a convoluted Scooby Doo trap that fails. Oh, and like only one of the awful teens ends up dying. No pay off.

>The VVitch did look a lot more appealing.
This had potential, but it fell flat. The father is the start of this movie. He's a good actor, he sounds good, he has good Christian intentions. The wife is a cunt. The son is a lustful idiot. The daughter acts like she's abused, when nothing bad has happened to her at all. For the 1600s, she's lucky to have been treated the way she is. She lies. She causes trouble. She's played like an idiot 21st century teenager, but in the year 1600. Just awful.

>>384932837
The Blair Witch Project

Wow that was hard

>>384932258
I disagree. I think horror that "pops off" cheapens it's scariness. Things that are more subtle/true to life are more creepy. It's more relatable that way, and so the feelings linger with you longer.

>>384932652
Frankenstein's Army isn't a deep film, it's mostly a creature feature. But it makes cyborgs creepy and cool, I'd give it a watch. Set in WWII, about nazi robots.

I don't think you know what a jump scare is anon. A jump scare is a moment of quiet with nothing going on, then a loud noise with the sudden and abrupt appearance of something. A tall man walking into a room isn't a jumpscare.

wow.

I'm the biggest fucking pussy you'll ever meet and won't even touch a horror game/movie with a 6 foot pole and that didn't get me. He didn't struck up towards the audience or pose for a "jumpscare." He walked at a snails fucking pace.

>>384935024
I don't care if it didn't get you. That's a jumpscare. You think we're impressed by your inability to get scared at a fucking youtube clip?

>>384934687
>something scary appears on screen, and the soundtrack starts playing music to reflect the change in atmosphere
Holy fuck why do you even try to watch horror movies? Tell me what is scary to you? If you see something "scary" on screen do you stick up your nose and say "pshh, jumpscare, DROPPED"?

>>384935151
Christ. Read the whole chain of replies you're replying to. I'm not arguing against Jumpscares. Quite the opposite, I'm arguing FOR them.

Kill yourself, you're grasping at straws because you can't admit that you're wrong.

Siren: Blood Curse

>>384934687
I still don't think you know what a jumpscare is. A jump scare is meant to literally make you jump because of a sudden loud noise and flash. It's the movie equivalent of someone sneaking up behind you and screaming in your ear. Those scenes you described were not jumpscares at all, just scares. Since you know, you're watching a horror movie, retard.

>>384935083
just admit you're a pussy who couldn't handle a tall man with red eyes walking. I bet when your mother comes into your room to wake you up because din din is ready scares the shit out of you.

>>384935286
First off, that's a jumpscare. I shouldn't need to argue the point any further.

But since I'm feeling generous and I happen to really like It Follows, here's another jumpscare from it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLj_DSA6Sm0

>>384934957
none of them are jumpscares, faggot

>>384934687
>Man appears out of nowhere
>Loud music starts playing
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Man slowly follows character out of the shadow, not a cut to anything spooky. The music slowly fades it, it is NOT loud in comparison to the vocals. This is not a "Wow, I'm such a tough guy for not getting spooked!" This is just plain NOT a jump scare.

Sinister is the worst offender for jumpscares. Ethan Hawke is looking at his attic where ghost children are watching a film. Then you've got the main monster's face literally pop out and fill the entire screen along with an actual audio cue. THAT is a jumpscare. This is not.

>>384935365

>>384935604
>Right, right, right. But again, I'm feeling generous, have another one. Or is this not a jumpscare either?
Don't ignore what I said. It's not a jump. It's not sudden. It happens slowly. You can call it a scary. You can call it tense. You can be afraid of it, I'm not insulting you or your taste. But by definition, that is not a fucking jumpscare and no amount of you linking to other videos is going to make that the case.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLKpcluyqGI#t=4m30s

THIS is a jumpscare.
>Objectively sudden
>Objectively loud (in context to the volume of the other sounds)
>Scary? Up to you to decide, that's completely subjective.

>>384935936
There you have it. It Follows has jumpscares. As any good horror movie (other than Rosemary's Baby) does.

Because Jump Scares are the basic building block of horror and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them as long as they're done well. Which, for those who are still too thick to realize it, is what I'm arguing.

>>384914019

Rogue. Or maybe Binding of Isaac, since that led to the tirade of indie roguelike shit.

>We could make a film with decent cinematography...
>... or we could make it Found Footage!!!

>We could make a game with substance and content...
>... or we could make it a roguelike!

>>384936054
>It Follows has jumpscares.
But the scene with the man slowly walking out from the shadows? Not a jumpscare. And if you think it is, your understanding of jumpscares is skewed and you don't comprehend it. That's the ONLY thing I'm arguing. You said that scene is a jump, it's not. I don't care about a single other second of that movie. Just that scene where you incorrectly labeled it something that it wasn't.

>>384936459
Nah. I know full well what a jumpscare is, and I know that every good horror movie has them. People always follow the same formula

>All good horror movies have them
>OH THOSE DON'T COUNT, NOT SUDDEN ENOUGH, IT NEEDS THIS SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF DECIBELS IN THE MUSIC

We can do this dance all day and all night, I'm honestly willing to do it.

My favorite is when people argue that the chest defibrillation scene in The Thing isn't a jumpscare. That's a good one.

Let The Right One In

>>384938383
>>384938212

You're both right, Let Me In is the American adaptation of the book that Let The Right One In is based off of, and it's actually just as good as it's counterpart.

>>384938212
>The Shining
At the "Redrum = Murder" reveal, a loud noise is heard with a scream followed by Jack suddenly axing the door.
Also, when the gardener is going "Anybody here?" and Jack appears out of nowhere and axes the motherfucker

>>384938383
That is the one!

>>384938705
Weird. I had no idea. I just knew the name was about letting someone somewhere...

>>384938742
That is hardly sudden, because the whole scene and everybody in there is just literally waiting for it to happen. It's a conclusion of an anticipated event, not a jumpscare.

>>384914583
The success of the movie was largely due to its incredible marketing campaign. Young people that didn't live it loose all the hype and even for those that lived it it has worn out long ago.

>>384939471
By that logic, it's not a jumpscare as long as the movie establishes that there's danger lurking around

Any and all forms of "it was in his head/a dream/an hallucination" will forever be utter shit.
It's the narrative equivalent of "I was only pretending to be retarded". Things don't need to be supernatural per se, but there should be a real component of horror beyond psychology.

>>384939887
So, you agree. As long as the movie establishes danger, anything that happens suddenly is not a jumpscare because we were expecting it to happen. Good to know.

>It's only a jumpscare if it's a pleb movie I don't like
Yeah, that's the problem

>>384939981
>will forever be utter shit.
Why? You saw it happen in the movie. It's not like it just doesn't exist anymore. It never existed. It's a movie. You saw what the mentally ill saw. It's a different take on it. How is that even close to
>Oops I fucked up, I'll pretend I was doing that to get people angry

They didn't write themselves into a corner. This isn't an episodic TV show. From start to finish, it all made sense. It wasn't a cop out. It wasn't a "Shit we need an ending". It was planned out from the beginning.

>>384940397
Things do act retroactively in terms of appreciation. Especially in movies which only last for 2 hours and are appreciated as a whole.
And even if it didn't, that would still be a lame ending, and a lame ending can destroy even a passably good thing, like Mass Effect 3.

>>384961263
I know I'm not gonna get a straight and honest answer, this is the internet, and what else, this is 4chan, but do people just like WWitch because it's different from other horror movies?

With all seriousness, I really think most people just like wwitch so they can be appear superior to others because wwitch is a "slow" movie. No matter how much I try to debate about it's merits and how it's actually a very bad movie (in my opinion) I only get replies with people assuming I must be a ADHD ridden idiot for disliking it.

Seriously, the only good thing I can say about the movie is that it's cinematography is above the average cut for horror movies. It's in no goddamn way better or even close to The Thing.

>>384961771
I've seen seen the movie but I read the book and ever since I'm not sure if I want to see it. So much of The Shining goes in inside all the character's heads. There's whole pages and chapters dedicated to the various characters thinking about stuff that's going on, terrible things they used to do, and what they want to do in the future. From what I hear a boatload of the movie is just empty silence since you can't really convey that sort of thing in film with a shitload of internal monologue and flashbacks.

Just see it. You won't really lose anything aside from a couple hours, and will come out of it having watched a pretty good movie, even if you don't like it in the end. Better than keep guessing.

I loved VVitch up until the ending. I feel like it would have been a lot more impactful had there not been any supernatural entity behind everything and instead it was just their godfearing madness and isolation from society that got them killed.

The baby getting kidnapped could be explained by a wild animal.

The little boy getting fucked up in the woods could just be him getting punished for the sin of lust.

>>384965315
The baby getting kidnapped happened way too quick to not have been supernatural.

The sin of lust? That's supernatural territory anon.

Fucking faggots who weren't even born when this movie came out. The reason why this is movie is a cult classic is not because of the movie itself, its about the the drama it stirred. This movie was intentionally marketed as "true story", at either the beginning or end of the movie they have the bullshit dialogue about how this footage was found after the teens went missing. The crew even made fake missing persons flyers for the characters in the movie, people thought it was actual footage until the director told them "naw its fake faggots"
Fucking kids these days and talking about shit they know nothing about.

>>384962060
It's a slow, psychological burn where the characters are getting fucked up by a powerful force. That's pretty close to The Thing, anon.

The drama it stirred was a part of why it was so good, but not a big part of it.

It's just legitimately a really clever horror movie. It's impact has been lessened with all the copy cats since its release but regardless it does a brilliant job of putting the viewer in the place of the protagonists and lets you feel their fear. It doesn't feel like a movie, it feels real because of how it was shot, the dialogue and the minimal script the actors had to work with. So when we see a small pile of rocks outside of their tent we don't ask ourselves "what movie monster could have done this?" We ask, "literally what in the hellish fuck could have done this?" Because we don't think of these characters as being in a movie, we think of them as being regular joes who filmed their last moments.

People who can't see why this movie is so great are the ones preventing us from getting any good horror films these days.

I still like the movie. I know it's not 10/10 or anything but I was around for that entire marketing campaign and it made for one hell of a mood. Halloween that year was fucked like all hell. I even had to go camping shortly after its release, and it didn't go well for me.

>t-the gimmick is what makes a movie good!
We're talking about the movie itself, dipshit.

>>384962060
If you want to break it down technically it's (as you said) well shot but also well acted and well written.

The story is also pretty unique, as a faithful depiction of supernatural paranoia in the 1600's or whatever and the depiction of the events that take place are not glossy or amped up for the typical horror audience, that gives the events a different feeling and that gives greater impact to the more visceral events later on. The wording of your comment makes it seem like you don't consider uniqueness as a positive attribute. Yes it being different is one reason why it's better than the run of the mill horror film but it isn't the only reason.

>>384964425
That is so overplayed though don't you think?

>oh it was all in their minds

I feel like that's been done to death, resurrection and then death again

And personally I find it much less interesting because fear and paranoia do not make a baby go missing right out from under your face or any of the other events of the film.

Sure you could say that the things we are shown could be blown out representations of what -actually- happened like if you were to say "the baby went missing from right under my nose!" you would know that is a figurative statement but then present it to the audience as a literal one in order to get the point across that their paranoia is that deep seeded ... but at that point I as a viewer could just say anything is real or nothing is because I have no way of knowing if anything I'm seeing is real so it loses all impact, something has to be grounded.

Tldr we have to watch the movie with the assumption that everything we are shown actually happened as we saw it, thus totally ruling out paranoia as the primary factor.

You mean people who are less than 62 years old? You're quite correct.

The Exorcist is a great movie but it didn't frighten me.

Kuroneko actually got me even though I watched it in class, but I still found the August Underground movies far more difficult to watch.

>>384962217

the movie is different from the book. not outrageously so, but they're good for different reasons. movie is really really heavy on visuals (shocker) as opposed to the introspection and character headspace that the book relies on. i personally loved both, but the movie is definitely not a perfect adaptation of the book.

>>384972174

I'm 21 and I still think The Exorcist is the scariest film ever. I'm at a point where no horror movie scares me. It's easy for a horror film to disgust you, but it takes talent to scare. That's where August Underground failed. There's a clear difference between

>"Wow, that was scary."
>"Ew, that's disgusting."

>>384972434
I feel the same with the shining.

its also a perversion I have with kubricks cinematography.

>>384962217
Movie has less character development but it's still an excellent movie. It adapts the core concept very well. A family stranded in an evil hotel.

You should also try the miniseries which is a much closer adaptation and good in its own right.

>>384972742

I've seen plenty of horror movies. It's pretty much the only genre I watch. Exorcist is still the scariest out there. Because you're too much of an autist - I'll break it down for you: fear is subjective. I think giant bug movies are creepy, but maybe they're not to you. You see how that works? Not only this, but I'm far from the only horror fan who thinks The Exorcist is the scariest movie ever made.

There are a few scenes worth mentioning if we're onto horror.

Diner scene in Mulholland drive
Alien walkby in Signs
Patient interviews in The Fourth kind
Forest shot in The Witch

>>384972552
>>384972434
The Shining and Exorcist are completely different though and rely on completely different techniques.

August Underground and Blair Witch are similarly two movies work different elements of horror.

Sure there is.

You're the one who initially sperged out about some people finding the blair witch scary.

Later claiming that fear is subjective after you've flatly denied someone else's claim of that very idea doesn't work.

That said you'd have to be fucking retarded to think Videodrome or Bridge of Frankenstein is in any way or form scary.

>>384973535

Where did I say Bride was scary and where did I sperg about people finding The Blair Witch scary? All I said was I didn't find it scary, but boring.

>>384973649

Can someone explain the ending to me? Does anyone even know?

Like, did the witch kill them all or was it someone else possessed by the witch? I don't get it.

Also, a long time ago people used to say that you can see the witch somewhere at the end but I never saw shit. Is this true or not?

>>384975223
noone knows
wasn't there a sequel where they find the guy looking at the wall and he's just traumatized?

at this point im inclined to believe they all just got scared at nothing and died ala happy tree friends

The sequel was pretty bad compared to the first but it had its moments. The ending is really messed up.

>>384975223
>people used to say that you can see the witch somewhere at the end

where exactly???

>>384975223
the witch fucks with them and kills them.

>>384975620
the guy at the wall
it might be my brain bullshitting me since it was long ago but i remember there being a rumour about a version where it was the witch the one there

>>384975223
Could be either. The witch could have killed them with her own hands (or magic/whatever) or possessed one of the others to do it. Or maybe none of them were killed and heather was simply taken posession of like Mike was in the corner... or maybe Mike was too scared to move. Who knows? There's not a whole lot to get about the ending, it's pretty literal.

You can't see the witch at the end. However apparently during the scene when they are all running into the woods at night and Heather says "what the fuck is that?" she is referring to someone that was actually standing off in the woods wearing a sheet or something that was meant to be the witch but Heather fucked up and didn't point the camera properly so it was left off screen (thank god, because it's way creepier that way).

But otherwise no you can't see a witch.

>>384958756
That's Parasite Eve 2's whole premise.
It's a shame you only get to see the first human transformation fully.

>>384970339
yeah the shitty voice acting sure was scary

>>384976017

at the beginning the towns people say that while the witch was killing someone she would put the other person facing against the wall so he or she can hear the other person being killed, which is what made the ending so creepy. but i personally believe it wasn't actually the witch and someone was just possessed.

but yeah, they all died. ghosts and stuff.

>>384976621
So a perfect match.

>>384977183
how dare you

>>384975223

You know how the camera goes from having color to not? Well, some people speculate that when the color goes to black and white that you're looking through the witch's eyes, and heather is screaming because she's about to be killed while mike is forced to look at the wall and listen.

Except we see them with two different cameras and all the interview and documentary footage from the beginning of the film is in black and white. I don't understand how you could come to any conclusion other than that they had a film camera for what they planned to use in the movie and a camcorder for b-roll footage.

Is there anything to suggest something supernatural about the black and white footage?

>>384978784

Who else could it be? Heather was in the basement already, and screaming, and mike was looking at the wall. The other guy was most likely already dead, or maybe he's the one who killed heather and mike.

I keep wondering if we'll ever get a scene like this in vidya:
