Quintus 5,399 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Open Water was horrible, the unsettling ending got under my skin in bed and well into the night. Excellent film, prototypically economical in execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I saw Open Water once when it was released in theaters. I still think about it from time to time. It was a very unnerving experience. A24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! It's 90 mins of 2 people floating in the ocean. It does nothing visually to make the fact that it's "one location" interesting, and the poor integration of shark footage broke any type of realism for me.

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 The woman has nice tits at the beginning. It's psychological horror, at being left behind like that. I'll never put on a scuba tank again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was your inability to put yourself in their situation and truly experience what is going on. You missed it. You were looking from a wrong perspective. That's why I said you need many locations, multiple interwoven storylines and deep sea monsters . Watch the move again now that you are a little bit older, Koray. Movies change when people change.

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Australia's dark heart inspires horror movie boom - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-35800175 Drax should be proud. Definitely some movies there I'll be keeping an eye on. Nice to see The Babadook seems to be getting the recognition it deserves, it was probably the best film I saw in 2015; which is pretty remarkable considering the genre.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I couldn't understand what the hell was going on in The Babadook. Creepy atmosphere alone does not make a good horror film. I liked the pop-up book sequences though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hey I'm all for subtlety but The Babadook was just plain cryptic at times. And I found the mother so completely nasty and unpleasant, I was about to switch the movie off at any point. I'm surprised I made it to the end.

Once you have seen The Visit though that's it, because it is a Shyamalan film and therefore reliant on first-see gimmicks. The Babadook I'll watch again. Tbh there's no comparison between the two.

I was wrong to link your nation's thriving film industry with you earlier, my bad. Btw, I don't think Alexcremers has seen Babadook, he's just bluffing.

I mean, The Martian is far from ideal, but I enjoyed it more than Moon, which aimed high but completely misfired. To me that makes it the much easier to dismiss of the two.

Jay 37,373 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 That Miss Peregrine movie looks better than this thing, but then again I liked Elfman's score to AIW so I am curious to hear him adapt it for a sequel score. I guess I wish there was a way Elfman could have scored both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I hated the 2010 movie Alice in Wonderland, but loved the score. While it would have been more interesting to hear his music for Miss Peregrine than to revisit Alice, I am kind of excited to hear the first not-Elfman Tim Burton score in 22 years just for the sheer novelty of it.

Jay 37,373 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The kind of odd thing is that Looking Glass opens in May and Miss Peregrin at the end of September; You'd think Elfman actually had enough time to score both. Perhaps there was another reason he didn't score Peregrin besides scheduling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm pretty sure the Miss Peregrine release date has been shuffled around a fair bit so it could be that at one point the schedule would have conflicted and by the time the date was pushed back it was too late or something. I dunno. EDIT: Found at least one article that lends credence to my theory http://screenrant.com/tim-burton-miss-peregrines-movie-release-date/ Quote Since it was announced that renowned fantasy director Tim Burton would be adapting MissPeregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, fans of Ransom Riggs’ YA novel avidly anticipating the film have dealt with disappointments as the planned release date has been pushed from an original summer 2015 slot to March 2016 – then back again to Christmas day, that same year.
