3 Years of Service
Well yes the first saw had holes in it. It was a low budget film that they expanded from a short film they made to pitch to make the full length film. But it was so popular that they got a bigger budget each time and that's why it started getting worse each time. Because they kept trying to overdue it. Just like the paranormal activity films.The first Saw had holes (no pun intended), but at the time it was a fresh, new idea. The sequels quickly beat that dead horse back to life and killed it again. The one with the detective that put someone else's blood in his arm- was it for me. You can't tell me that forensics couldn't have figured that out? Bull-shit. The main bad guy dies but orchestrated things well past his death? Passed the torch to someone else? C'mon, make some sense.
The first 2 "Hellraisers" were the only ones that should've been made- once the author/director distances himself from the franchise- it's time to quit. The third one was eh, at best- the "new" Cenobites looked goofy AF. The 4th and 5th ones that tried to dive into the lore of the "Lament Configuration" wanted to be good, but the writing was crap. Everything after could have been any other generic Horror movie. When the main villain is reduced to making cameos- your movie is shit. IF Pinhead isn't at the forefront manning the helm and spouting "Hellish" wisdom- you've made the wrong movie. Even the remakes acted like they'd never heard of the books, the first 2 movies, OR Clive Barker. Pinhead fighting/killing an Angel? GTFO.
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", gained most of it's notoriety due to "being based on a true story", but IF everyone dies- who told said story? Did Hollyweird employ a serial murder for the sake of telling a story. So MANY other movies/stories have made this claim as well- well if everyone dies...
I remember "Cannibal Holocaust" that's the one where the director was tried in Court for making a snuff film and he had to produce every member of the cast and crew before the Judge in order to be acquitted.
I'm not familiar with "Don't Fuck in the Woods", is that the actual title? Like proper title?
"Blood and Honey" was only made because of the whole copyright/trademark expiration public domain thing- it could've been any generic bear- even Yogi or Smokey. They're taking all of those IP as they become available just to bastardize them- no other reason. I think they're making or made Pinocchio already.
I've seen all the best/worst of the movies "I Spit on Your Grave", "Ne Nous Deliverez Pas Du Mal", "Basket Case", "The Hills Have Eyes","Street Trash", just to name a few. These were the classics and new Horror just can't come close to it. Like I said jump scares are a crutch and gore is so prevalent that people have become numb to it- evisceration isn't original.
"The New Nightmare" was a fresh idea where Freddy manifested himself IRL because people willed him into existence was a pretty nifty twist that could've re-energized the franchise, but they remade it with "Rorschach" putting the final nail in the that coffin.
I consider "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween" to be almost interchangeable. The "can't be killed" thing gets old fast and the sequels were just the same movie in different places, but you still can't kill the bad guy. Why? Science. Reasons. Fuck you, that's why.
Hellraiser Clive was involved in the first 3 films. But the 3rd hell on earth definitely took a down hill slide.
They say a lot of horror films are based off of true events. Which they are. Not necessarily exact events. But they took inspiration from something. A lot are inspired by serial killers. Take the strangers for example it says it's based off of a true story. But that true story isn't 3 people going to a random house and torturing and killing a couple. But based off of the Manson family and as a kid the director had some random person show up one night at their house. Who ever didn't answer the door in that area the house got broken into and robbed. So those real life events inspired the strangers.
Some of the movies were everyone dies at the end are the best. I'm not watching a horror film to have it have a happy ending.
Yes don't fuck in the woods is the actual name they even made a sequel. Yeah blood and honey was made exactly for that reason. They even made a sequel. Plus they are doing a whole franchise out of it called the twisted childhood universe. Yes they are doing a Pinocchio film. The next one is going to be a Peter Pan. But they are also doing a Bambi, sleeping beauty, snow white and a Nemo (Assuming that's Captain Nemo)
