I didn't know Steve Johnson was one of the men-in-suits either, yet neither he or Bottin are actually make-up FX artists on this. Maybe this is how make-up internships go :P

That's funny, Rob's not credited as creating the monsters on IMDB, but the end credits say otherwise lol. And Steve was an assistant :P

EDIT: I scrolled further on IMDB and found them under "additional crew" lol

So I really liked Ghostland there, but I feel the need to bitch about the title. You call movie that, so I'm looking for the ghosts and shiz, those angles to it, and obviously that ain't it. Much more reality based. I feel if I went in thinking Haute Tension 2.0, I would have liked it even more.

Titles are still important. They should reflect something about the story you're going to watch. Another example is "Humanoids From The Deep" is a way cooler title, and gives you the vibe you're about to watch a schlocky good b movie, than the generic "Monster", that tells you nothing :P

Ghostland...I remember liking it, I see I gave it a good score when I watched it on a previous challenge, but the title is definitely missing the mark.

They probably aimed for "ghost" to reflect a memory play or something, rather than undead spirits/haunts, which is going to go over most audiences heads anyway.

yeah it's important for marketing. the content is more important than the title to me, though.
