I'm digging this for a lot of reasons but a big one is nostalgia. This movie is looking to be what the first one should have been and I cannot wait to see if I'm right. It's not about how old you are, it's about whether or not you want to get scared. Not saying anybody here is doing this, but every time I hear people say they don't get scared at horror movies, I ask them if they want to get scared, and it's almost always no. What's the point? Horror movies are hypnotism. If you don't go into them WANTING to get scared, you won't get scared. It's the same for comedies. If you don't want to laugh, you won't laugh.

I always go into a horror movie wanting to get scared. Just...rarely happens anymore, because most horror movies these days aren't exactly great.

skywlker32 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The problem with scary movies is that they rely on being new and surprising. Most movies at this point are pretty predictable, which is just amplified in horror movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "tween" comment was in jest and not meant to be taken literally. I personally don't get scared at horror movies. If I do, I consider it a masterpiece. Maybe it's b/c I grew up on this stuff. My parents love to tell me when I two, I learned to use a VCR so I could watch Poltergeist over and over again. They never had a filter. I was watching Friday the 13th movies, Elm St, Chucky, Leprechaun, etc etc all the goodies. They simply didn't mind. Maybe I'm numb to it?? I dunno. I've always enjoyed the genre but honestly, the last movie that shook me, and this will sound bad, is the Blair Witch Project. The first movie to use what actually looked like a handheld cam. Just made it so much more realistic. I get why people think it's corny but I remember leaving the theater a little shook by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Horror is about tone. The reason so few horror movies are scary anymore is because they try stupid fake out scares, they put dumb teenagers with dumb dialogue in the movies, and they're far too generic. A horror movie doesn't have to be surprising or unpredictable, it just has to do it well. For example, The Conjuring. We all knew the family was going to live, but the way it was done was what made it creepy. And Just now, JTagg7754 said: the last movie that shook me, and this will sound bad, is the Blair Witch Project. I think the Reason the Blair Witch Project is frowned upon is because of everything that came after. The movie legit scared the crap out of me with that ending. I will defend that movie until I die for the way they made it terrifying without showing literally anything, and with what was implied rather than what was shown.

O'Doyle Rules Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Don't really see horror movies in theater's. Only one I've seen in the past few years was the conjuring. But this looks great and can't wait to see it opening day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Despite me not liking Pennywise's look, this movie looks pretty terrifying. Another Scary Clown movie to look out for is Terrifier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59iYFTcvyrM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a hard R horror movie do really well could pave the way for more hard R horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Saw it last night. A lot funnier than I expected, intentional comedy too. Some of it was kinda out of place. Man the slideshow scene was something else. Looking forward to the next chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Don't go to this movie expecting to be scared. Remake's for horrors rarely are. But its a very good movie. And it is funny. Richie is a straight up baller. Wouldn't surprise me if McLovin is his child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
