There’s a spiritual sequel to dazed and confused called “everybody wants some”. Pretty much the same thing but it’s college and in the 80s as opposed to the 70s.

I agree.
If you read the script for Kill Bill 2, Tarantino describes the scene of The Bride digging herself out of and emerging from the grave like “Fulci’s zombies”. The dude was obviously a big fan himself.

Friday the 13th were considered to be the pinnacle of the slasher film. Slasher films were associated with graphic violence, but the Friday the 13th films (aside from the 4th/5th entries and Jason goes to hell) weren’t extremely gory from what I recall. The UNCUT versions of the Friday the 13th films were quite harsh in comparison (just about all of them were censored in order to acquire an R rating). Otherwise they seemed like good “date” movies.
As in, relatively tame horror films you can take a girl to so she squeezes your hand whenever something ‘scary happens’. Then you get tired and happen to yawn and stretch your arm…
The Halloween films were also rather tame in terms of gore, though the violence was quite brutal/more realistic at times in comparison to Friday the 13th
I preferred the nightmare on elm street franchise compared to Friday the 13th/halloween. I’m not sure why Friday the 13th became so famous… The films (aside from the first two and the sixth entry) actually kinda sucked. Shitty character development, boring and repetitive as hell.

I couldn’t complete most of them. Bored the crap out of me. I only liked Jason Goes To Hell. Watched the one with Jason in space while texting throughout the movie so I only caught bits and pieces of it. Even the remake was lame.
I LOVED Freddy vs Jason, though. It was by Hong Kong director Ronny Yu(The Bride with White Hair).
That’s my favorite. Loved Freddy. The remake was an abomination.
If you want horror films with gratuitous nudity try anything by Lars von Trier. If the search for the most fucked up film interests you try Cigarette Burns - a John Carpenter film which stars Norman Reedus and Udo Kier.

Agreed. Even though I have lots of trouble sitting through most of them, @unreal24278 should like them.
I’ve seen cigarette burns. It’s by masters of horror (anthology tv series). There’s another one in that anthology that’s quite nasty called imprint.
Antichrist was developed by lars von trier, I’m not sure whether the film was pornographic or not. It had sex scenes that encases the actors… Actually having sexual relations. You could see everything.
It’s a good movie, definitely not for everyone though as it’s very harsh/odd
Lars Von Trier also made Nymphomaniac. I was surprised the film wasn’t X rated here (instead R18+).

The Suspiria remake was masterfully made technically speaking, but it’s not a movie I could recommend to the average person because of it’s weirdness and the script just went full retard at the end.
I can’t sit through his films unless I’m high. But I’ve run out of sources these days so I try to skip them. His latest one about a serial killer with Matt Dillion was pretty good but I couldn’t finish it because my wife made me turn it off lol.
Ill have to watch the original suspria before the remake
The one about the serial killer is called the house that Jack built. It’s a brutal film
I don’t like watching movies on cannabis, I seldom use it these days (that was more of a high school/during lockdown or vacations thing for me). I prefer listening to music on it (usually like deep purple, black sabbath, aerosmith or odd bands like stoned Jesus, high on fire etc).
Availability isn’t a problem, and it works wonders for muscle spasms/neuropathic pain. I just don’t like that it makes me eat horrendously

Den of Thieves
It’s basically a low-rent remake of Heat. I enjoyed it though.
6.5/10
Also been watching The Boys (Amazon), which is awesome, and The Last Kingdom (NFX), which is pretty decent.

Dude. Jason X.
Two naked girls: “Premarital sex. We LOVE premarital sex.”
cuts to scene of Jason using one girl in a sleeping bag to bludgeon another girl in a sleeping bag to death
This YT clip doesn’t show where they go topless, but it gets the gist across.

That was right at the end lol. I didn’t dig the whole Jason in space thing. The only other really funny part was when they blew up the entire space base because they docked too fast or something like that. Like how the fuck can you make something that blows up so easily lolololol. It’s like a whole parking lot and mall blowing up because some dude has problems with parallel parking.
You don’t have to. There’s no real connection. The premise is a little similar superficially but the plot and themes are completely different.
Look dude, many a good movie has been ruined by a bad ending. Don’t complain about a bad movie that was saved by the best ending ever.

I think they were being self-aware/tongue in cheek. With the old slasher flicks there was a formula. As stated in Wes Cravens “scream”
- take illicit drugs/underage drinking = death
- premarital relations = death
Indulging within activities deemed risky (like splitting up), taboo or amoral (by conservative standards) = death
Most 80s slasher films abode by this formula. Interestingly Laurie Strode smokes a joint in Halloween (1978) and is the final girl/main protagonist.
Jason-X was one of the only Friday the 13th films I enjoyed (aside from the first and sixth entries). The others I enjoyed as a kid because they had boobs in them.
I didn’t mind it. I didn’t think of it as a jason film, rather an entertaining, sci-fi comedy horror film. Take it for what it’s worth. I think out of all the Friday the 13th films (aside from the first), I enjoyed this one the most. My father agrees with me, that’s because he likes sci-fi though.
I didn’t like Jason goes to hell. Was too “B” grade and absurd, badly shot and simultaneously not comedic enough.

Yeah the thing is it kinda reminded me of that horrible Hellraiser: Pinhead in fucking space because FUCK YOU movie.
It’s fine. We all have different tastes. I thought TCM was a comedy. The part where the cook keeps hitting the chick on the head with the broom ranks among my top funniest movie scenes.
Pinhead was in space?
I’ve never seen hellraiser, though I do believe the studio currently responsible for pumping out subsequent hellraiser films continually pump out movies to keep the rights to the franchise.
From what I recall from reading the lore of the first film, it’s somewhat about sadomasochism right?
I’ve been told to watch it before. I’ve seen one scene, where a man is pulled apart by chains.
The first one? Really? I still find that film creepy as fuck. The last house on the left (1972) was quite off-putting too.
The original Hellraiser was by Clive Barker, also the author of the book it was based on. That was pretty good.
The next 2 sequels were not bad. Part 3 somehow evolved Pinhead into a Freddy-like character and it was hilarious.
The one in space was part 4. That’s when the real franchise ended.
The rest were not real Hellraiser movies. They were unrelated, low budget horror movies that threw in Pinhead for a couple of minutes just to act like they were sequels.
Yeah, but I had already read that horrific Old Testament story I was talking about in the other thread and watched both Evil Dead 1 and 2 before that lol.
