Contracted was great. I felt so sorry for the main chick.

I didn't realize the duo that gave us Starry Eyes, another well directed recent horror movie, botched the Pet Sematary remake. Yikes.

I do like what Jordan Peele's doing, in spite of his unpopularity here.

I still think a few guys can hold my attention as directors. Tarantino still does some excellent work.

The topic was new horror directors though, I think Zombie implied post-2010.showa58taro wrote:I still think a few guys can hold my attention as directors. Tarantino still does some excellent work.

Ah. At which point I can only hope Takashi Miike does more horror.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:The topic was new horror directors though, I think Zombie implied post-2010.showa58taro wrote:I still think a few guys can hold my attention as directors. Tarantino still does some excellent work.

Re: October 13th 2019
I did a quick look at the ol' DVDs, and over the last 10 years, everything I've purchased for movies are apart of a franchise or universe or otherwise legacy, the only one that stands out as it's own thing is Cabin in the Woods.zombie wrote:that's fair. i'm not into silent films and struggle with westerns as a subgenre. hopefully you can find your way around the types of films that you aren't big on.Reign in Blood wrote:I wouldn't single out horror. I'm just not finding much of the recent stuff making an impact, finding it's way into my favorites or must have piles. Maybe it's just not my era, it will be known as being oversaturated with Superhero flicks and those have never been a primary source of zeal for me. Now we're living Disney reboots and shit, meh, just not getting excited.

Re: October 13th 2019
why are you purchasing those flicks, then? the other stuff is out there. don't support the stuff that you seem to dislike.Reign in Blood wrote:I did a quick look at the ol' DVDs, and over the last 10 years, everything I've purchased for movies are apart of a franchise or universe or otherwise legacy, the only one that stands out as it's own thing is Cabin in the Woods.zombie wrote:that's fair. i'm not into silent films and struggle with westerns as a subgenre. hopefully you can find your way around the types of films that you aren't big on.Reign in Blood wrote:I wouldn't single out horror.

Re: October 13th 2019
I don't, that's why it's so bare bones. I like the franchises and stuff I am getting, Wick, Expendables, Jurassic World, but they're still living off of legacy and shiz.zombie wrote:why are you purchasing those flicks, then? the other stuff is out there. don't support the stuff that you seem to dislike.Reign in Blood wrote:I did a quick look at the ol' DVDs, and over the last 10 years, everything I've purchased for movies are apart of a franchise or universe or otherwise legacy, the only one that stands out as it's own thing is Cabin in the Woods.zombie wrote:that's fair. i'm not into silent films and struggle with westerns as a subgenre. hopefully you can find your way around the types of films that you aren't big on.Reign in Blood wrote:I wouldn't single out horror.

Of those, the only one I dug was It Follows, the only one close to crap is Hereditary but I wouldn't go that far. The rest, good for one viewing and I'm moving on, got no business getting close to my favorites.

i'm not trying to tell you what to like. if you like jurassic world and such as favorites, then that's awesome. but if you don't, then there is other stuff to find. do you have a big library around you? they might have a selection of movies to borrow. explore that, if you don't wanna buy or can't find it on streaming?

Re: October 13th 2019

take scorsese, gibson, and fincher as examples. what makes silence (or wolf of wall street), hacksaw ridge, and gone girl not favorites. the way you hold their earlier work? are those not as worthy, favorites-wise, as some of the legacy stuff in your collection, from the past ten years?
